It is believed that this problem has been solved. A corps of trained and skillful experts in analysis made a careful study for subjects of each verse, paragraph, chapter, and group of - chapters, each verse passing through the hands of all the workers. Notes of all subjects found herein were made by each of them in the margins, opposite the passages, as for example, in ;he first verse of the Bible were noted five topics: Time; God, creator; Creation, beginning oj; Heavens, physical; Earth, created. In Matt. 5:3, seven topics were noted: Spiritual Peace; Righteous, described; Humility; Christian Graces; Promise, to the righteous; Righteous, promises 'o; Kingdom of Heaven. In verse 45 eleven topics, and in verse 48 eight topics were noted. '■Some verses were found to contain more, and some less, than these examples. More than '0,000 annotations were thus made in the margins, embracing all sorts of topics : religious, secu- ir, biographical, geographical, sociological; relating to arts, history, poetry, customs, manners, . ic. Following each marginal note, the book, chapter, and verse were given connecting them vith the footnotes (described below). The subjects in the verses having been thus annotated, all passages from all parts of the (Bible, relating to each subject, were collected and arranged under descriptive subheadings, creating footnotes, which were located in selected places, as for example, all passages teaching any truth about God were assembled in a footnote, God, beginning on page 3, which is cited from Gen. 2:2, by a star before the word "God." These passages were arranged under subheadings, such as Goodness oj, Love of, Mercy of, Providence of, etc., according to the contents of the passages. In like manner all scriptures containing any truth or fact about Tesus were assembed and arranged in a footnote, Jesus. This footnote begins on page i 298, and is cited from Matt. 1:21, by a star before the word "Jesus." This plan was carried it with respect to all subjects, as exhaustively and thoroughly as possible, in order that the / student might find in the margins, opposite the verse he is reading, topical notes of all subjects contained in the verse and a reference to an elaborate footnote of each subject, enabling him to pursue it to its end. By this system it matters not in what passage a subject attracts atten- tion, it may be followed from that passage through all its ramifications of the Scriptures. The Commentary value of the marginal notes. The marginal notes on the text not only lead the way to an exhaustive study of the subjects in the Scriptures but they serve the very useful purpose also of a brief, suggestive commentary, bringing to the student of the Bible in terse form the gist of all the standard commentaries as well as the topical suggestions of a corps of annotators, who had a genius for analytical study of the Word of God. Footnotes The footnotes are, approximately, an exhaustive exhibit of their subjects, and c.re basec wholly on the Revised Version text. When it has been practicable the passages under general (headings have been grouped under subheadings. The passages under some headings furni? fe large variety of subtopical features of subjects and admit of instructive and useful r 1 ' ii PREFACE under subheadings, while those under other headings do not furnish any opportunity of sub- topical arrangement. For example, in the subject God, pp. 3-6, there are forty-seven principal subheadings and two hundred and eighty-one subordinate subheadings, citing more than 5,000 verses of Scripture. It was practicable to subdivide the passages cited under the principal sub- heading Condescension, p. 3, into nine subordinate groups, as they teach nine different phases of God's condescension; but the passages cited under the next subheading, Creator, of the earth, p. 3, fifty in number, cannot be so subdivided, the passages being mere statements of the one fact that the earth was created by God. There is an equal number under C' u ' ' ' „' and more than that number under Fatherhood, taught by Jesus and taught by th? os i ' These groups look formidable, but do not admit of subdivision for the reasop ia ,*\, sages contain no notable differences; and being arranged in the order of the uuvx., ,» .„ w .bible, it requires only a short time to turn to all the citations. It was necessary in cases of this kind to choose between two plans, either to cite only the most striking passages or to, cite, r v ' The latter plan has been adopted throughout this book for two reasons: First, for iiie." of those who want all that the Bible contains on any given subject; and second, because few persons would agree as to which passages should be omitted and which retained on a theory of relative value. The location of footnotes. A natural way would have been to locate the footnote of a sub- ject where that subject first appears in the Bible. This was found impracticable for the reason ; that a large proportion of subjects first appear in the Pentateuch, a large percentage of all in Genesis, and many, indeed, in the first half dozen of its chapters. The rule adopted, therefore, is to connect the footnote, when practicable, with the passage that is most naturally suggested to the mind of the student, as for example, the subject Heavens, physical, has its footnote sign in Psa. 8:3, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy hands," a familiar passage to all Bible students. Often, however, it has been impracticable to connect it with the verse best adapted to the subject on account of other footnotes forcing themselves to the same place or in close proximity. Much care has been given to the location of footnotes to prevent too many falling together, and at the same time to connect them with verses befitting them. The cyclopedic value of the footnotes. The footnotes constitute a Bible dictionary, or cyclopedia, condensed to narrow limits. They omit extended discussions of features, but they contain all the matter necessary to a complete biblical study of their subjects. Index To enable the student to pursue the study of any biblical subject an elaborate index has been compiled, with copious synonyms and kindred terms, citing the pages on which footnotes of the subjects are located. This index is in the back part of the book. Alternate Readings Where the translation in the Revised Versions differs essentially from that of the King James translation the revised reading is noted in the margin and is connected with the text by a numeral. Where the English and American Committees' renderings agree the simple abbre- viation R. V. precedes the reading. Where the American Committee's rendering differs from that of the English Committee's the American Committee's rendering is given the preference, and in such cases the reading in the margin is preceded by the abbreviation Am. R. V. In certain instances where the alternate readings in the Revised Versions indicate specially iseful suggestions as the possible renderings of the original, they have been printed in the margins ithout attributing them to the Revised Versions. They are usually preceded by the word Or. When the Revised Versions omit a verse, or an essential part of a verse, of the King James ^sion, this fact is noted in the margin, but the subjects in such omitted passages are noted, I 1 "so fi, without regard to such omission. PREFACE iii Parallel Scriptures To a limited extent parallel passages are cited in the margins without topical notes, after the custom in ordinary reference Bibles. This method, however, is confined strictly to parallels, and thus the student is not left in uncertainty as to what will be found at the places cited. Messianic Scriptures Messianic scriptures have been annotated under the term "Jesus" instead of "Messiah" for the reasons : 1st. The Messiah is foreshadowed, first, in the promise that the seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head, the Messiah triumphing over the power of evil; second, he is foreshadowed in the types of atoning animal sacrifices as the Savior of the world from their sins. These are the dominant themes of the Messianic message of the Old and New Testaments, and they identify Jesus the Savior of the New Testament with the promised Savior and triumphing Messiah of the Old Testament. The term "Messiah" does not express the idea of savior. The term "Jesus" does exactly express it, and its use serves the double purpose of exact expression and of identifying the Son of man of the New Testament with the promised, and typified, atoning Redeemer of the Old Testament. 2d. The Messianic idea of the Old Testament in the promise to David that his seed should reign forever, and the prophecies of the glorious king- dom of Israel's hope, foreshadowed not a savior or redeemer but a king to whose standard all nations should come, and whose kingdom of righteousness, triumphing over the powers of evil, should become an universal and everlasting kingdom. In annotating passages of this class the natural term would be Messiah. In order to avoid confusion by using different terms to represent the different phases of his mission and to impress all students with the essential identity of the Savior of the New Testament with the typified redeemer and glorious Messiah of the Old Testament, one term Jesus, his revealed name, was chosen, and under this term were grouped all scriptures relating to both Savior and triumphant Lord. Chronology The latest conclusions drawn from well-established and generally accepted sciences, as well as recent archaeological discoveries, have discredited Archbishop Usher's chronology, which has been adopted in Bibles generally. While thus discredited, nevertheless, it has its value. It has been adopted in this Bible, but is followed by an interrogation point, in order to suggest that the time indicated is of uncertain value, and the student is referred to the footnote Time, which occurs at Rev. 10:6, p. 1702, where the general topic Time is elaborated; and there the subject is fully discussed by Professor Samuel G. Ayres, of Drew Theological Seminary, an eminent American scholar and an authority in biblical archeology. Los Angeles, California, October, 1907. Orville J. Nave, EXPLANATION The first superior letter in the text, Gen. 1:1, is a," which refers the student to the corresponding letter in the margin, where he will find the topic Time citing Rev. 10:6. Before the word Time in Rev. 10:6, is a star (*) which cites a footnote at bottom of page, that contains an elaborate exhibit of all the facts and other useful information in the Bible relating to the subject Time. Footnotes are reached by star, dagger, double dagger, etc., in the text. The next letter is "b," which refers to the marginal note God, creator, Gen. 2:2. Refer- ring to Gen. 2:2, page 3, the student finds a star before the word God, which refers him to the footnote below, where he will find an exhaustive study of the subject God. As in Gen. 1:1 the marginal note God cites Gen. 2:2, so in all scriptures, where a notable fact concern- ing God occurs, the marginal note cites Gen. 2:2. As with the topic God in this instance, so of all subjects, the marginal notes cite the footnotes of the subjects. The next letter is "c," which refers to the marginal note Creation, beginning of, Mark 13:19. In Mark 13:19, a dagger appears before the word Creation, which leads to the footnote Creation at bottom of the page, where all facts noted in the Bible and all useful scriptures relating to that subject are cited, just as everything is found in the footnotes described above relating to their subjects. In other scriptures, where the subject Creation occurs, reference is made in the margins to Mark 13:19. In the margin of the first verse of the Bible are the subjects Time, God, Creation, Heavens, Earth; in the second verse Holy Spirit, Water. These are all the subjects con- tained in these verses. No marginal notes appear opposite verses 4, 5, 7, and 8, but these verses contain letters and typographical signs which show that they have been completely analyzed and that the subjects contained therein are in the margins of preceding verses and in the footnotes. In this manner all verses of the Bible are topically analyzed, the subjects being placed, as nearly as is practicable, immediately opposite the verses which contain them, except, of course, those that appear in preceding verses. In such cases the letter which belongs to the marginal subject where it first appears is repeated in the text of the verses following, but the subject is not repeated in the margin. The subjects in the margins always refer to their footnotes which are located at the most suitable places in the Bible that could be found for them. On the first page are footnotes of the subjects Darkness, Light, Day, Night, etc. Under the topics Light and Day, and so also of other subjects, it has been thought not necessary to refer to every scripture where the word light or day appears, as is done in complete Concordances, but rather to refer the student to those scriptures only that have a topical value. It can be relied upon that all footnotes contain all useful facts relating to the subjects in hand. ABBRE VI ATION S A .D. — Anno Domini. B. C— Before Christ. A. V. — Authorized Version. R.

AFTER these things the word of the Lord came unto °" 6 A'bram in a c vision, say- ing, Fear not, A'bram: d - e - f I am thy ^shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 2 And °A'bram 7z said, Lord God, Vhat wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and Hhe steward of my house is this ? E-li- e'zer of A Da-mas'cus ? 3 And a A'bram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed : and, lo, one born in my house is mine *' z heir. 4 And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine *heir; but e>m he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now to- ward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them : and he said unto him, So shall thy n ' °seed be. 6 And he ^believed in the Lord; and he ^counted it to him for q righteousness. 7 And he said unto him, d I am the Lord that brought thee out of r Ur of the s Chal'dee§, to give thee this 'land to inherit it. 8 And he "said, Lord God, "•"whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it ? 9 And he said unto him, Take me an ^heifer of three years old, and a she y goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a 2 turtledove, and a young "^pigeon. 10 And he took unto him a all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. 11 And when the fowls came Mown upon the carcases, & A'bram drove them away. 12 And when the sun was going down, a deep f sleep fell upon ''A'bram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 13 And he said unto & A'bram, Know of a surety d that thy e seed shall be a stranger in a ; land that is not their' s, and shall serve them ; and they shall afflict them ^four hundred years; 14 And also that ^nation, whom e they shall serve, will I *judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15 And & thou shalt 'go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good *old age. 16 z But in the fourth genera- B.C. 1913? n Descendants of Abraham, Gen, 22:17. o Israel, prophecies concerning, Ex. p Gr ace of God, Rom. 4:16. q Righteousness.

Behold, thou art but dead man, for the 'woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's %ife. 4 But ^A-bhn'e-lech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous 'nation ? 5 e Said he not unto me, She is my sister ? and she, even she her- self said, He is my brother: in the '"integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in a Mream, Yea, W I know that thou didst this in the '"integrity of thy heart; for I also °withheld thee from sinning against me: there- fore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the "man his 'wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall p - 9 pray for thee, and thou shalt live : and r if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. 8 Therefore ^A-bhn'e-lech s rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid. 9 Then *A-bim'e-lech called "A'bra-ham, and said unto him, 'What hast thou done unto us ? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my 'kingdom a great sin ? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done. 10 And ^A-bim'e-leeh said unto a A'bra-ham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing ? 11 And G A'bra-ham said, M be- cause I "thought, Surely the w i ear of God is not in this place ; and they will slay me for my * wife's sake. 12 And yet indeed she is my sis- ter; she is the daughter of my fa- ther, but not the daughter of my mother; and she ^became my wife. 13 And it came to pass, when "God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I d said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me at every place whither we shall come, e ' 2 say of me, He is my brother. 14 And a A-bim'e-lech took sheep, and oxen, and menserv ants, and womenservants, and t,& gave them unto c A / bra-ham, I and restored him Sa/rah his wife.

And c Psaac went unto A-bim'e-leeh king of the *Phi-lTs'tmes unto ^Ge'rar. 2 And the e LoRD appeared un- to him, and said, Go not down into 'E'gypt; dwell in the ^land which I shall tell thee of: 3 ''Sojourn in this ^land, and e I will be with thee, and will bless thee ; for unto thee, and unto thy u seed, I will give all these coun- tries, and I will perform the M oath which I sware unto A'bra-ham thy father; 4 And T will make '"thy ''-'seed to multiply as the "stars of heav- en, and will °give unto thy seed all these ^countries; and in thy p seed shall all the ^nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that 6 A'bra-ham ^obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 6 If And c I'saac dwelt in rf Ge'rar: 7 And the men of the place asked c him of his r wife; and 5 he * ,M,t, said, She is my sister: for he w i eared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for *Re-bek'ah because she was y fair to look upon 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that A-bini'e-leeh king of the *Phi- lis'tines looked out at a z window, and saw, and, behold, Psaac was sporting with ^Re-bek'ah his wife. 9 And A-bTm'e-lech called a Fsaac, and said, Behold, of a and my sister ? And Psaac said unto him, ; Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And ^A-bim'e-lech said, What is this thou hast done unto us ? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy c wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And A-bim'e-lech ^charged all Ms people, saying, He that toucheth this a man or his c wife shall surely be f put to death. 12 Then "Psaac 'sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord ^blessed him. 13 And the s man waxed great, and went forward, and grew un- til he became very great : 14 For he had 'possession of B.C. 1804? o Temporal Bless- ings, from God, Psa, 103:2. p Jesus, prophecies concerning, Matt. 1:21.

A dream to 7 Jo'seph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me; 10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes : 11 And e Pha/ra6h's cup was in my hand : and a I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pha/- raoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pha/raoh's hand. 12 And 'Jo'seph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it : The three branches are three days: 13 Yet within three days shall e Pha/raoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place : and thou shalt deliver Pha/raoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his "butler. 14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness I pray thee, unto me, and OT make mention of me unto Pha/raoh, and bring me out of this house: 15 For indeed T was stolen away out of the "land of the t He , brews: and here also °have I done nothing that p they should put me into the dungeon. 16 When the chief c baker saw that the ^interpretation was good, he said unto J Jo'seph, I also was in my Mream, and, be- hold, 1 I had three white 3 bas- kets on my head : 17 And in the uppermost r/ bas- ket there ivas of all manner of bakemeats for Pha/raoh ; and the r birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head. 18 And 'Jo'seph answered and said, This is the "Interpretation thereof: The three ^baskets are three days: 19 Yet within three days shall Tha'raoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall sz hang thee on a tree; and the r birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee. 20 If And it came to pass the third day, which was Pha/raoh's ^birthday, that he made a M feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants. 21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again ; and he gave the cup unto Pha'raoh's hand: 22 But he s - 1 -"hanged the chief baker: as 'Jo'seph had *inter preted to them. 23 Yet did not the chief w butler remember 3 Joseph, but ^forgat him.

And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, A,t Draw not nigh hither: ? put off thy *shoes from off thy feet, for the place where- on thou standest is holy ground. 6 Moreover he said, I am the 'God of thy father, the God of A'bra-ham, the God of I'saac, and the God of Ja'cob.

And the heart of Pha'raoh was ^hardened, and he Mid not let the people go. 8 If And the Lord said unto & Mo'ses and unto w Aar'on, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Mo'ses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of ^Pha'raoh. 9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of n E'gypt, and shall be a *boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon ; beast, throughout all the land of E'gypt. 10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before & Pha'- raoh • and a Mo'ses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast. 11 And the °magicians could not stand before a Mo'se§ because of the *boils ; for the boil was up- on the magicians, and upon all the w E-gyp'tians. 12 And the Lord hardened the *heart of Pha'raoh, and he ^hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Mo'ses. 13 If And the Lord said unto a Mo'se§, p Rise up early in the morning, and stand before ^Pha'raoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the c He'brews, Let my ^people go, that they may serve me. 14 For I will at this time send all my ^plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; r that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy "people with ^pestilence; and thou shalt be cut of! from the earth. 16 And in very deed s for this 1 cause have W I ^raised thee up, for to shew Hn thee my power; and that my name may be de- clared throughout all the earth. 17 As yet w exaltest thou thyself against my ^people, that thou wilt not let them go ? 18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous *hail, such as hath not been in E'gypt since the foundation thereof even until now. 19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and ^beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the ^hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die. 20 He that y - 2 f eared the word B.C. 1491?

And he turned himself, and went out from 'Pha'radh. 7 And Pha'raoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us ? °let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that E'gypt is destroyed ? 8 And "Mo'ses and 'Aar'on were brought again unto 6 Pha/- raoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are they that shall go ? 9 And ^lo'se^ said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go ; for we must hold a p feast unto the Lord. 10 And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones : look to it; for evil is before you. 11 Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord; for that ye did desire. And they were ^driven out from Pha'- raoh's presence. 12 If And the Lord said unto a Mo'ses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of ^E'gypt for the 'locusts, that they may come up upon the land of E'gypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the "hail hath left. 13 And "Mo'ses stretched forth his r rod over the land of ^E'gypt, and the Lord s brought an east 'wind upon the land all that day and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the l j "'locusts. 14 And the h '"locusts went up over all the land of ^E'gypt, and rested in all the x coasts of E'gypt: very grievous were they before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. 15 For z,? "they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the "hail had left: and there re mained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of ?E'gvpt. 16 if Then 7j Pha'raoh called for a Mo'ses and z Aar'on in haste; and he said, U - V < W I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 17 " ,L 'Xow therefore forgive, I pray thee, my tt 'sin only this once, and Entreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. 18 And a he went out from Pha'- raoh, and Untreated the Lord.

And the people bowed the head and w worshipped. 28 And the children of Is'ra-el went away, and ^did as the Lord had commanded Mo'ses and Aar'on, so did they. 29 If And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord °smote all the Vt z firstborn in the land of E'gypt, from the firstborn of a Pha / raoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the ^captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of "cattle. 30 And a Pha'raoh rose up in the night, he, and all his serv- ants, and all the E-gyp'tians; and there was a great c cry in E'gypt; tf for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31 If e And fl he called for / Mo / - ses and ^Aar'on by night, and said, Rise up, and ^get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of l Is/ra-el; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and ^be gone; and ; bless me also. 33 And the *E-gyp'tians were urgent upon the ^people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. 34 And the people took their 1 dough before it was m leavened, their "kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the children of Is/ra-el did according to the word of Mo'ses; and they 7,0,p borrowed of the E-gyp'tians ^jewels of ''sil- ver, and jewels of *gold, and 'raiment: 36 And the Lord gave the °people favour in the sight of the * E-gyp'tians, so that they 8 lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the E-gyp'tians. 37 % And" the children of M Is'- ra-el journeyed from ^Ra-me'ses to § Suc'coth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the Plough which they brought forth out of E'gypt, for it was not '"leavened; because 'they were thrust out of E'gypt, and could not tarrv, neither had B.C. 1491?

And they did so. 5 If And it was told the g king of E'gypt that the people fled: 'and the s heart of Tha'raoh and of his servants was ^'turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let "Is/ra-el go from serving us ? 6 And *he made ready his ^chariot, and took his "'people with him : 7 And *he took six hundred chosen "chariots, and all the chariots of x E'gypt, and cap- tains over every one of them. 8 And the Lord hardened the 'heart of ^Pha/raoh 9 king of E'gypt, and he pursued after the children of "Is/ra-el: and the children of Is/ra-el went out with an high hand. 9 But the ^E-gyp'tians pursued after them, all the 2 horses and chariots of a Pha/raoh, and his ^horsemen, and his c army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside ^Pl'-ha-hi'roth, be- fore e Ba'al-ze-phon. 10 If And when a Pha'ra6h drew nigh, the children of ; Is/ra-el lifted up their eyes, and, be- hold, the E-gyp'tians marched after them; and they were sore °' ^afraid : and the children of Is'- ra-el ui cried out unto the Lord. 11 And k > l they w said unto Mo'- ses, "Because there were no °graves in E'gypt, hast thou taken us away to p die in the wilderness ? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of E'gypt ? 12 hm Is not this the word that we did tell thee in E'gypt, say- ing, Let us alone, that we may serve the E-gyp'tians ? For Ht had been better for us to serve the E-gyp'tians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13 If And^Mo'ses. said unto the people, s, 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the "salvation of the u Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the E-gyp'tians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14 The "Lord shall "fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15 If And the Lord said unto Mo'se§, ^Wherefore v ' 2 criest thou unto me ? speak unto the children of Is/ra-el, that they go forward : 16 But lift thou up thy a rod, and stretch out thine hand over the & sea, and divide it: and the children of Is/ra-el shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I, behold, I will harden the c hearts of the d E-gyp'tians, and they shall follow them : and I will e get me honour upon ^ha'raoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

CHAPTER 19 The people come to Sinai. 3 God's message by Moses unto the people from the mount, 8 and their answer in return. 10 The people are to be prepared against the third day. 12 The mountain not to be touched. 16 The presence of God upon the mount. IN the a third "month, when the children of c Is'ra-el were gone forth out of the land of fE'gypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of e Si'nai. 2 For they were departed from ; Reph'i-dIm, and were come to the desert of e Si~'nai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there c Is'ra-el' camped before the mount. 3 And ^Mo'ses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the e mountain, say- ing, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Ja'cob, and tell the children of c Is'ra-el; 4 *Ye have seen what I did unto the *E-gyp'tian§, and how iJx 'l bare you on ^eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, m if ye will n obey °my voice indeed, and keep my ^covenant, 9 then r ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the s earth is *mine : 6 And m ye shall be unto me a "kingdom of ^priests, and an w holy nation. ^These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Is'ra-el. 7 If And ^Mo'ses came and called for the ^elders of the peo- ple, and laid before their faces all these z words which the Lord commanded him. 8 And all the people answered together, and said, a All that the Lord hath spoken & we will do. And c Mo'se§ returned the words of the people unto the Lord. 9 And the Lord said unto ''Mo'ses, Lo, d l come unto thee in a thick e,/ cloud, that the peo- ple may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Mo'ses told the words of the people unto the Lord. 10 If And the Lord said unto Mo'ses, Go unto the people, and ^sanctify them to day and to mor- row, and let them *" ,A wash their clothes, 11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount 'Si'nai. 12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, 7 Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: & who- soever toucheth the mount shall be surely *put to m death : 13 "There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be °stoned, or shot through ; wheth- er it be beast or man, it shall * ,w not live: when the ^trumpet B.C. 1491?

To keep this great truth constantly before the Israelites, specific ordinances concerning washings were given to Moses. The purpose was to teach, by this object lesson, that sin pollutes the soul, and that only those who were cleansed from their sins could be pure :r> the sight of the Lord. Heb. 9:10; 10:22.

Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found '"grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I ^"pray thee, if I have found m grace in thy sight, op shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and g consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, r My s - 'presence shall go with u thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he fc,n said unto him, °If thy s presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy peo- ple have found w grace in thy sight ? °is it not in that ^thou go- est with us ? v so shall "'we be ^separated, I and thy ?/ people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 17 And the Lord said unto Mouses. , 2 I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found a grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he 6,r said, I beseech thee, d shew me thy c glory. 19 And he said, 'I will make all my ^goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and nfwjjJJ be "gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew 'mercy on whom I will shew mercy. 20 And he said, ''Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shaft stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while my ^glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but A my face shall not be seen.

AND the Lord a said unto 6 Mo'ses, Hew thee two ^tables of d stone like unto the first :^nd I will write upon these tables the e words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest. 2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount 'Sl'nai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. 3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the ; mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount. 4 II And & he %ewed two ta- bles of stone like unto the first, and Mo'ses ^rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount 'Si'nai, as the Lord had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone. 5 And the Lord descended in the u cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the A "name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed by be- fore him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord *God, ^mer- ciful and gracious, 2> w longsuffer- ing, and abundant in "goodness and 0> nruth, 7 Keeping ^mercy for thou- sands, r forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and s that will by no means clear the guilty ; '•■"visiting the "'^iniquity of the ^fathers upon the ^children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. 8 And Mo'ses. made haste, and a bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped. 9 And he &c said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a d ' e stiff necked people; and par- don our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance. 10 H And he said, Behold, I make a ^covenant : before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any ''nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee. 11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the *Am'- 6r-ite, and the ? Ca/naan-ite, and the *Hit'tite, and the Ter'iz- zlte, and the '"Hi'vite, and the w Jeb'u-sIte. 12 °Take p heed to thyself, lest thou make a q ' r ' Covenant with the 'inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a "snare in the midst of thee : 13 But ye shall destroy their altars, u break their 3 images, and cut down their 4 groves : 14 For w thou shalt worship no other god : for the ^Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a ^jealous God: 15 0,p Lest thou make a q> r> 'cov- enant with the 'inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sac- rifice ; 16 ^And thou 2 - a take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. 17 Thou shalt make thee no & molten c gods. 18 If The d feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. *Seven B.C. 1491?

In studying the Mosaic law relat- ing to defilement, it must be kept in mind that sin defiles. To keep this great truth constantly before the mind of the Israelites specific ordinances concerning defilement were given to Moses. The obvious purpose of this object lesson was to teach that sin pollutes the soul and separates from God, and that only the clean, that is, the pure in heart, can have fellowship with Him.

The blemish was an imper- fection, and this imperfection disqualified persons and things for sacred uses. It was intended to teach by this object lesson that no one whose heart was imperfect could enjoy the privileges of divine worship.

AND it came to pass on the day that a Mo'ses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had c ' d anointed it, and sanctified e it, and all the instruments thereof, both the 7 altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them ; 2 That the ^princes of Is/ra-el, heads of the house of their fa- thers, who were the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were numbered, offered: 3 And they brought their offer- ing before the Lord, six cov- ered ^wagons, and twelve *oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox : and they brought them before the taber- nacle. 4 And the Lord spake unto a,7 'M6'§es, saying, 5 Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Le'vites, to every man ac- cording to his service. 6 And c M6'ses took the ^wag- ons and the *oxen, and gave them unto the Le'vites. 7 Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the 'sons of GeV- shon, according to their service: 8 And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the ^sons of Me-ra'ri, according unto their service, under the hand of "Tth'- a-mar the son of Aar'on the priest. 9 But unto the w sons of Ko'hath he gave none: because the serv- ice of the °sanctuary belonging unto them was that they should bear upon their shoulders. 10 If And the ^princes offered for Medicating of the ; altar in the day that it was c anointed, even the princes offered their offering before the altar. 11 And the Lord said unto y Mo'ses, They shall offer their offering, each ^prince on his day, for the ^dedicating of the ; altar. 12 If And he that offered his offering the first day was *Nah'- shon the son of ^Am-min'a-dab, of the tribe of r Ju'dah : 13 And *his offering was one *silver f charger, the weight whereof was an hundred and thirty "shekels, one silver "bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a 2,w, meat offering; 14 One ^spoon of ten u shekels of ^gold, full of 2 incense; 15 One young a bullock, one ram, one ^larnb of the first year, for a 6 burnt offering: 16 One kid of the goats for a d sin offering: 17 And for a sacrifice of c peace offerings, two oxen, five rams, five he goats, five t lambs of the first year: this was the offering B.C. 1490?

In order to impress the children of Israel with the necessity of holiness as the only ground of fellowship with God and with the righteous, we find many lessons on holiness in the Mosaic ordinances. The design of these lessons was to teach the Israelites, and through them all people for all time, that holiness is the supreme attribute of those who please God; and that without it man must be forever separated from Him. The following- Scriptures describe one of the object-lessons by which this great central truth of the system of Mosaic instruction was kept prominently before the public mind. They teach that defilement must separate the defiled from the undefiled and hence sin must separate the unholy from the holy. There- fore the soul that violated the ordinances was "cut off from Israel," or "cut off from the congregation, " etc., 24 that is, was deprived of the privileges enjoyed by those who were obedient to the law. Jesus ordained this mode of discipline, Matt. 15:18. It was enjoined as a corrective measure in apostolic times, see under sub-head Enjoined, below. Of the uncircumcised, Gen. 17:14. Of those who violated the law, of unleavened bread, Ex. 12:15: of sacrifices. Lev. 17:9; 19:5 7; of purification. Xum. 19:20. Of those who were de- filed, by eating prohibited food.

CHAPTER 19 The water of separation. 11 The law for the use of it in purification of the unclean. A ND the Lord "spake unto Mf/ses and unto Aar'on, saying, 2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath com- manded, saying, Speak unto the children of Is/ra-el, that they bring thee a 6 red ** c ' d heifer e without /,flr spot, wherein is e no ^blemish, and upon which nev- er came yoke : 3 And ye shall give her unto ^E-le-a'zar the Spriest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her be- fore his face: 4 And ^E-le-a/zar the Spriest shall take of her y * *blood with his finger, and ^sprinkle of her blood Mirectly before the ^tabernacle of the congregation seven times : 5 And one shall burn the *heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn: 6 And the Spriest shall take n ce- dar wood, and °hyssop, and ^scar- let, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer. 7 Then the priest shall p wash his clothes, and he shall * ,p bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be 9t ^unclean un- til the even. 8 And he that burnetii her shall wash his clothes in water, and ^bathe his flesh in water, and shall be ^unclean until the even. 9 And a man that is * clean shall gather up the "''ashes of the 'meifer, and lay them up with- out the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the con- gregation of the children of Is/- ra-el for a s water of separation: it is a purification for sin. 10 And he that gathereth the 'ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be ^unclean until the even : and it shall be unto the children of Is/ra-el, and unto the 'stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever. 11 If He that w toucheth the dead body of any man shall be ^unclean seven days. 12 He shall ^purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be e clean: but if he purify not him- self the third day, then the sev- enth day he shall not be clean. 13 Whosoever "toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and *purifieth not him- self, defileth the ^tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be ^cut off from- Is/ra-el: because the s water of separation was not ^sprinkled upon him, he shall be g ' ^unclean ; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent : all that come into the tent, and all that isin the tent, shall be "unclean seven plays. 15 And "every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. 16 And ^whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a y grave, shall be ^unclean seven days. 17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ^ashes of the 3 burnt *heifer of ^"purifica- tion for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel: 18 And a e clean person shall take °hyssop, and dip it in the water, and ^sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, B.C. 1471?

CHAPTER 20 The children of Israel come to Zin, where Miriam dies. 2 They murmur for want of water. 7 Moses smites the rock at Meribah, and water comes forth. 14 Moses at Kadesh desires a passage through Edorn, which is denied. 22 Aaron dies at mount Hor, and the high- priesthood passes to Eleazar. THEN came the children of Is/ra-el, even the whole congregation, into the desert of a Zin in the first 6,c month: and the people abode in ^Ka'desh; and e Mir'i-am died there, and was buried there. 2 And there was no water for the congregation : and they gath- ered themselves together against ^Md'ses and against ^Aar'on. 3 And the ^people ^hode with Mo'ses, and spake, ^saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord! 4 And *why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord in- to this wilderness, ; that we and our cattle should die there ? 5 And l wherefore have ye made us to come up out of E'gypt, to bring us in unto this evil place ? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. 6 And ''Mo'ses and ^Aar'on went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the ^tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the 'glory of the Lord ap- peared unto them. 7 If And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses, saying, 8 ™Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aar'on thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock be- fore their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

To keep this great truth constantly before the mind of the Israelites specific ordinances concerning puri- fications were given to Moses; the purpose being, by this object lesson, to teach that sin defiles and only the pure in heart can see God. Therefore certain incidents, such as eating that which had died of itself, touching the dead, etc., were signified as defiling, and definite ceremonies were prescribed for persons who were defiled. During the period of defilement, and when performing the ceremonies required of them, the defiled were expected to contemplate the defilement of sin and the need of purification of the heart.

' 20 And he said, c -?Thou shalt not go through. And & E'dom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand. 21 Thus & E'dom "-'refused to give Is'ra-el passage through his border: wherefore Is'ra-el turned away from him. 22 If And the children of Is'- ra-el, even the whole congrega- tion, journeyed from °Ka'desh, and came unto mount *H6r. 23 And the Lord spake unto Mo'ses and Aar'on in mount *H6r, by the coast of the land of A 'E'dom, saying, 24 * Aar'on shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Is'ra-el, because ye '"rebelled against my word at the water of n Mer'i-bah. 25 Take 'Aar'on and °E-le-a'- zar his son, and bring them up into mount *H6r: 26 And strip Aar'on of his gar- ments, and put them upon °E-le- a'zar his son: and l Aar'on shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there. 27 And Mo'ses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount *H6r in the sight of all the congregation.

And Mo'ses s prayed for the people. 8 And the 'Lord said unto Mo'ses, Make thee a fiery ser- pent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he look- eth upon it, shall live. 9 M And Mo'ses made a *' ^ser- pent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. 10 If And the children of Is/- ra-el set forward, and pitched in *0'both. 11 And they journeyed from *0'both, and pitched at y I]'e- ab'a-rim, in the wilderness which is before z Mo'ab, toward the sunrising. 12 If From thence they re- moved, and pitched in the valley of "Za'red. 13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of 6 Ar'non, which is in the wilder- ness that cometh out of the coasts of the . c Am'6r-Ites : for Ar'non is the border of d Mo'ab, between Mo'ab and the Am'- 6r-Ites. 14 Wherefore it is said in the B.C. 1452?

And from the wilderness they went to Mat'ta-nah : 19 And from Mat'ta-nah to Na-ha'li-el: and from Na-ha'- li-el to A Ba'm6th: 20 And from /c Ba'moth in the valley, that is in the country of d Mo'ab, to the top of Tis'gah, which looketh 3 toward Jesh'i- mon. 21 If And * Is/ra-el sent '"mes- sengers unto ^Si'hon king of the c Am'6r-ites, saying, 22 Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the ^vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well : bat we will go along by the king's °high way, until we be past thy borders. 23 And ^Si'hon p would not suf- fer Is'ra-el to pass through his border: but Si'hon gathered all his people together, and went out against Is/ra-el into the wil- derness: and he came to ? Ja'haz, and fought against Is/ra-el. 24 And Ts'ra-el smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Ar'non unto ^Jab'bok, even unto the 'children of Am'mon: for the border of the children of Am- nion was strong. 25 And r Is'ra-el took all these cities: and Is/ra-el dwelt in all the cities of the c Am'6r-ites, in 'Hesh'bon, and in all the vil- lages thereof. 26 For Hesh'bon was the city of Si'hon the king -of the Am'or- Ites, who had fought against the former king of w Mo'ab, and ta- ken all his land out of his hand, even unto Ar'non. 27 Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, ''Come into Hesh'bon, let the city of t Sl / h6n be built and prepared: 28 v For there is a fire gone out of l Hesh'bon, a flame from the city of t Sl / hon : it hath consumed ^r of Mo'ab, and the lords of the high places of & Ar'non. 29 ?

CHAPTER 24 Balaam foretells the happiness of Israel. 10 Balak, in anger dismisses him. 15 He prophesies of the Star of Jacob, and of the destruction of sundry nations. AND when a Ba/laam saw that it pleased the Lord to bless & Is/ra-el, he went not, as at other times, to seek for Enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And "Ba'laam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Is/ra-el abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the ^spirit of God e came upon ''him. 3 And he took up his parable, and said, a Ba r laam the son of Be'or hath said, and the man whose 1 eyes are open hath said : 4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the ^vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 5 How goodly are thy Hents, O Ja/cob, and thy tabernacles, O Is/ra-el! 6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign *aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as 'cedar trees beside the waters. 7 He shall pour the water out of his ^buckets, and his seed shall he in many waters, and his king shall be higher than A 'gag, and his kingdom shall be ex- alted. 8 God brought him forth out of E'gypt; he hath as it were the strength of 2 an 'unicorn : he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his m arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down as a "lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up ?

Are not these w evils come upon us, because our God is not among us ? 18 And I will surely "hide my face in that day for all the evils which s they shall have wrought, in that °they are turned unto other gods. 19 Now therefore write ye this *song for you, and e teach it the children of Is/ ra-el : put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the chil- dren of Is'ra-el. 20 For when I shall have brought them into the ^land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen y - 2 fat ; then will they a turn unto other gods, and & serve them, and 2 provoke me, and break my covenant. 21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this c song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be for- gotten out of the mouths of their seed : for d I know their imagina- tion which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the ; land which I sware. 22 Mo'ses therefore wrote this c song the same day, and ^taught it the children of Is'ra-el. 23 And he gave ft J6sh'u-a the son of Ntin a charge, and said, l Be strong and of a good Cour- age : for thou shalt bring the chil- dren of ? Is'ra-el into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee. 24 If And it came to pass, when Mo'ses had made an end of writing the words of this *law in a z book, until they were finished, 25 That Mo'se§ commanded the m Le'vites, which bare the w ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, 26 Take this 'book of the *law, and put it in the side of the w ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27 °For I know thy rebellion, and thy ^stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been ? rebel- lious against the Lord; and how much more after my death ? 28 Gather unto me all the '"eld- ers of your tribes, and your of- ficers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. 29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have com- manded you; and evil will befall s you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to *' M an- ger through the work of your hands. 30 And Mo'ses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Is'ra-el the words of this c song, until they were ended. CHAPTER 32 Moses' song in which he sets forth God's mercy and vengeance. 46 He exhorts them to lay it up in their hearts. 48 God sends him up to mount Nebo, to see the land, and die. GIVE ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass : 3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4 He is the °Rock, his & work is perfect: for all c his ways are judgment: a d God of Hruth and e without iniquity, just and right is he.

They ^sacrificed unto 3,p devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the ^Rock that begat thee thou art ^unmindful, and hast forgotten ; God that formed thee. 19 And when the Lord saw r it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be : for they are a very froward generation, chil- dren in whom is no faith. 21 They have moved *me to 'jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to °anger with their vanities: and S I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a peo- ple; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22 For a 'fire is kindled in mine °anger, and shall burn unto the lowest M hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. 15 Then *she let ; them down by a cord through the ^ window : for her house was upon the town ft wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way. 17 And the men said unto her, We will be x blameless of this thine "oath which thou hast made us swear. 18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of ^scarlet thread in the * window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy ^father, and thy ^mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home un- to thee. 19 ^And it shall be, that whoso- ever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless : and whoso- ever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be ^uit of thine °oath which thou hast made us to swear. 21 And she said, ° According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the ^scarlet line in the window. 22 And ; they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pur- suers were returned: and the pursuers sought them through- out all the way, but found them not. 23 So the two %en returned, and descended from the moun- tain, and passed over, and came to l Josh'u-a the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them: 24 And they said unto* Josh'u-a, Truly the ; Lord hath delivered into our hands all the *land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

AND a Josh'u-a rose early in the morning; and they re- moved from "Shit'tim, and came to c Jor'dan, he and all the chil- dren of d Is'ra-el, and lodged there before they passed over. 2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the most; 3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the e ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the ; priests the Le'vites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space be- tween you and it, about two thousand "cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. 5 And a Josh'u-a said unto the people, ''Sanctify yourselves : for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you. 6 And ° Josh'u-a spake unto the 'priests, saying, Take up the c ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. 7 If And the Lord said unto a Josh'u-a, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all d Is'ra-el, that they may know that, as T was with Mo'ses, so T will be with thee. 8 And thou shalt command the ; priests that bear the e ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of c J6r'dan, ye shall stand still in Jor'dan. 9 If And a Josh'u-a said unto the children of Is'ra-el, Come hith- er, and hear the 'words of the Lord your God. 10 And a Josh'u-a said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God l is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the *Ca'naan-ites, and the 'ffit'tltes, and the w Hl'- vites, and the "Per'iz-zltes, and the °Gir'ga-shItes, and the p Am'- 6r-Ites, and the 9 Jeb'u-sites. 11 Behold, the e ark of the cove- nant of the r LoRD of all the earth passeth over before you into c J6r / dan. 12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of 3 Is'ra-el, out of every tribe a man. 13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the e ark of the Lord, the To rd of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of c Jor'- dan, that the waters of Jor'dan shall be cut off 2 jrom the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap. 14 ^f And it came to pass, when the ^people removed from their tents, to pass over c Jor'dan, and the 'priests, bearing the e ark of the covenant before the people; 15 And as they that bare the e ark were come unto c Jor'dan, and the feet of the 'priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jor'dan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) 16 That the waters which came down from above 'stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Ad'am, that is beside M Zar'e-tan: and those that came down toward the v sea of the 3 plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off : and the people passed over right against w Jev'- i-cho. 17 And the 'priests that bare I the e ark of the covenant of the B.C. 1451?

Lord 'stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jor'dan, and all the rf Is'ra-el-ites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jor'dan. CHAPTER 4 Twelve men are appointed to take twelve stones for a memorial out of Jordan. 9 Twelve other stones ate set up in the midst of Jordan. 10 The people pass over. 14 God magnifies Joshua. 20 The twelve stones are pitched in Gilgal. AND it came to pass, when all the a people were clean passed over ^Jor'dan, that the Lord c spake unto rf Josh'u-a, saying, 2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, 3 And command ye them, say- ing, Take you hence out of the midst of & Jor'dan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve e stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodg- ing place, where ye shall lodge this night. 4 Then ^Josh'u-a called the twelve men, whom he had pre- pared of the children of °Is'ra-el, out of every tribe a man: 5 And ^Josh'u-a said unto them, Pass over before the ; ark of the Lord your God into the midst of b Jor'dan, and take you up every man of you a e stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Is'ra-el: 6 That this may be a ^sign among you, that when your chil- dren ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these e stones ? 7 Then ye shall ''answer them, That the waters of 6 Jor'dan were cut off before the ; ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jor'dan, the waters of Jor'dan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a hne- morial unto the children of a Is'- ra-el for ever. 8 And the children of Is'ra-el did so as d Josh'u-a commanded, and took up twelve e stones out of the midst of & Jor'dan, as tne Lord c spake unto Josh'u-a, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Is'ra-el, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. 9 And Josh'u-a set up twelve 'stones in the midst of ^Jor'dan, in the place where the feet of the ^priests which bare the 'ark of the covenant stood : and they are there unto this day. 10 If For the ^priests which bare the 'ark stood in the midst of 6 J6r'dan, until everything was finished that the Lord c com- manded d Josh'u-a to speak unto the people, according to all that 'Mo'ses commanded Josh'u-a : and the people hasted and passed over. 11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the 'ark of the Lord passed over, and the ^priests, in the presence of the people. 12 And the w children of Reu- ben, and the children of n Gad, and half the tribe of °Ma-nas'- seh, passed over armed before the children of a Is'ra-el, as Mo'- ses spake unto them : 13 About p forty thousand pre- pared for war passed over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of g Jer'i-cho. 14 If On that day the Lord magnified d Josh'u-a in the sight of all Is'ra-el; and they feared him, as they feared Mo'ses, all the days of his life. 15 If And the Lord c spake unto ^Josh'u-a, saving, 16 Command the ^priests that bear the 'ark of the testimony, B.C. 1451?

CHAPTER 5 The Canaanites are afraid. 2 Joshua re- news circumcision. 10 The passover is kept at Gilgal. 12 The manna ceases. 13 An angel appears to Joshua. AND it came to pass, when all the kings of the "A'm'- 6r-Ites, which were on the side of Mor'dan westward, and all the kings of the c Ca/naan-Ites, which were by the sea, heard that the ^Lord had dried up the waters of Jor'dan from before the chil- dren of 6 Is/ra-el, until we were passed over, ; that ^their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Is/ra-el. 2 1| At that time the Lord said unto /J Josh'u-a, Make thee x sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Is/ra-el the second time. 3 And ^Josh'u-a made him x sharp knives, and ^circumcised the children of Is/ra-el at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the cause why Josh'u-a did ^circumcise: All the people that came out of 'E'gypt, that were males, even all the men of war, Mied in the wilderness bv the way, after they came out of E'gypt. 5 Now all the people that came out were Vircumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of E'gypt, them they had not circumcised. 6 For the children of e Is/ra-el walked *f orty years in the wilder- ness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of ? 'E'gypt, were consumed, be- cause they ^obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the B.C. 1451? See footnote. Time, Rev. 10:6. a Amorites. Gen. 14:13. b Jordan. Gen. 32: 10. c Canaanities.

Wherefore the name of the place is called p Gil'gal unto this day. 10 If And the children of e Is'- ra-el encamped in p Gu"gal, and kept the ? passover on the four- teenth day of the month at even in the plains of r Jer'i-ch5. 11 And they did eat of the old s corn of the land on the morrow after the ^passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. 12 T And the 'manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old s corn of the land ; nei- ther had the children of e Is'ra-el manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of w Ca'naan that year. 13 If And it came to pass, when 7i Josh'u-a was by r Jer'i-cho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, "there stood a "man over against him with his "'sword drawn in his hand : and Josh/u-a went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries ? 14 And v he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And ; * Josh'u-a fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant ? 15 And the "captain of the Lord's host said unto Josh'u-a, *Loose thy *shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.

NOW a Jer'i-cho was straitly shut up because of the children of 6 ±s/ra-el: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said unto c Josh'u-a, See, I have given into thine hand "Jer'i-cho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 3 And ye shall ^compass the city, all ye e men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 4 And ; seven ^priests shall bear before the ark seven ^trumpets of rams' horns : and the ''seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

See, I have com- manded you. 9 ° Josh'u-a therefore sent them forth: and they went to *lie in *ambush, and abode between A Beth'-el and e A% on the west side of A'i: but Josh'u-a lodged that night among the people. 10 And a Josh'u-a rose up early in the morning, and ^numbered the people, and went up, he and B.C. 1451?

And Josh'u-a "stretched out the 3 spear that he had in his hand toward the city. 19 And the *ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand : and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. 20 And when the men of C A'I looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way : and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 21 And when "Josh'u-a and all w Ls'ra-el saw that the Lbush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of C A'I. 22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of "Is/ra-el, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them re- main or escape. 23 And the king of C A'I they took alive, and brought him to "Josh'u-a. 24 And it came to pass, when n Is/ra-el had made an end of p ' ? slaying all the inhabitants of c A'i in the field, in the wilder- ness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Is'- ra-el-Ites returned unto A'l, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of c A'i. 26 For "Josh'u-a drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had p,? utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of C A'I. 27 Only the cattle and the "'spoil of that city Is/ra-el took for a prey unto themselves, ac- cording unto the word of the B.C. 1451? ; footnote, Time, Rev. 10:6. 24 War, of ex er mi- nation, Judg. 3:2.

CHAPTER 10 Five kings war against Gibeon. 6 Joshua rescues it. 10 God fights against them with hailstones. 12 The sun and moon stand still at the word of Joshua. 16 The five kings are shut up in a cave. 23 They are brought forth, 24 scornfully used, 26 and hanged. 28 Seven other kings are conquered. 43 Joshua returns to Gilgal. 1VTOW it came to pass, when ^ A-d o'n i-z e'd e c king of a Je-ru'sa-lem had heard how ''Josh'u-a had taken C A% and had ^utterly destroyed it; as he had done to e JeVi-cho and her king, so he had done to A'i and her king; and how the inhabi- tants of ; Gib'e-on had made peace with Is/ra-el, and were among them; 2 That they feared greatly, because 7 Gib'e-on was a great ^city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than C A'I, and all the men thereof were mighty. 3 Wherefore A-do'ni-ze'dec king of "Je-m'sa-lem sent unto Ho'ham king of ^He'bron, and unto Pi'rarn king of l Jar'mutb, and unto Ja-phl'a king of *La'- chish, and unto De'bir king of 'Eg'lon, saying, 4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite 'Gib'e- on : for it hath made peace with 6 J6sh'u-a and with the children of Is/ra-el. 5 Therefore the five kings of the *Am'6r-Ites, the king of a Je-ru'- sa-lem, the king of ^He'bron, the king of ^Jar'muth, the king of *La'chish, the king of ? Eg'lon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their *hosts, and encamped be- fore ^ib'e-on, and made war against it. 6 If And the men of 'Gib'e-on sent unto & J6sh'u-a to the camp to OT Gil'gal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the ^Am'or-Ites that dwell in the mountains are ^gathered together against us. 7 So & J6sh'u-a ascended from m Gil'gal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 8 If And the Lord "said unto B.C. 1451?

Is not this written in the 2 book of \ Ja/sher ? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the c Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord ^fought for Is/ra-el. 15 If And c Josh'u-a returned, and all d Is/ra-el with him, unto the camp to e Gil'gal. 16 But these five kings ''fled, and hid themselves in a ^cave at *Mak-ke'dah. 17 And it was told c Josh'u-a, saying, The five kings are found hid in a ^cave at /J Mak-ke'dah. 18 And c Josh'u-a said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the ^cave, and set men by it for to keep them : 19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the a LoRD your God hath delivered them into your hand. 20 And it came to pass, when c Josh'u-a and the children of d Is/ra-el had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were con- sumed, that the rest which re- mained of them entered into 'fenced cities. 21 And all the people returned to the camp to c Josh'u-a at ''Mak-ke'dah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Is/ra-el. 22 Then said c Josh'u-a, Open the mouth of the ^cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of 7 Je-ru'sa-lem, the king of *He'bron, the king of l Jar'muth, the king of *La'chish, and the king of m Eg'lon.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of a E'phra-im by their families. 9 And the separate cities for the children of a E'phra-im were among the inheritance of the children of & Ma-nas'seh, all the cities with their villages. 10 And they drave not out the ™Ca/naan-ites that dwelt in 'Ge'zer: but the Ca'naan-Ites dwell among the a E'phra-im-ites unto this day, and 5 serve under tribute.

CHAPTER 17 The lot of Manasseh. 7 His coast. 12 The Canaanites not driven out. 14 The children of Joseph obtain an additional lot. THERE was also a lot for the tribe of a Ma-nas'seh; for he was the firstborn of b Jo'seph ; to wit, for c Ma'chir the firstborn of Ma-nas'seh, the father of ^Gil'e-ad: because he was a man of war, therefore he had e Gil'ead and 'Ba'shan. 2 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of a Ma-nas / - seh by their families; for the chil- dren of *A-bi-e'zer, and for the children of ^He'lek, and for the children of ^As'n-el, and for the children of ^She'chem, and for the children of ; He'"pher, and for the children of ^She-ml'da: these were the male children of Ma-nas'seh the son of 6 Jo'seph by their families. 3 1f But z Ze-l6'phe-had, the son of ^He'pher, the son of d Gil'e-ad, the son of c Ma'chir, the son of Ma-nas'seh, had no sons, but m,n, daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, ^Mah'- lah, and *No'ah, r H6g'lah, s Mil'cah, and ^r'zah. 4 And they came near before '■ "E-le-a'zar the priest, and be- fore ^Josh'u-a the son of Nun, and before the ^princes, ^saying, The Lord commanded Mo'ses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore accord- ing to the commandment of the Lord he gave them an inherit- ance among the brethren of their father. 5 iVnd there fell ten portions to G Ma-nas'seh, beside the land of e Gil'e-ad and ^Ba'shan, which were on the other side Jor'dan; 6 Because the m,v " daughters of Ma-nas'seh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Ma-nas'seh' s sons had the land of e Gil'e-ad. 7 If And the x coast of °Ma-nas'- seh was from Ash'er to *Mich'- me-thah, that lieth before y She'- chem ; and the border went along on the right hand unto the in- habitants of En-tap'pu-ah. 8 Now a Ma-nas'seh had the land of 2 Tap'pu-ah: but Tap'- pu-ah on the border of a Ma-nas'- seh belonged to the children of & E'phra-im ; 9 And the 1 coast descended unto the 2 river c Ka'nah, south- ward of the 3 river : these cities of & E'phra-im are among the cities of a Ma-nas'seh: the *coast of Ma-nas'seh also was on the north side of the 2 river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: 10 Southward it was & E'phra- hn's, and northward it was a Ma- nas'seh's, and the sea is his bor- der; and they met together in d Ash'er on the north, and in e Is'- sa-char on the east. 11 And °Ma-nas'seh had in e Is'sa-char and in d Ash'er *Beth-she'an and her towns, and ^b'le-am and her towns, and the inhabitants of ff D6r and her towns, and the inhabitants of En'-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of ^Ta'a-nach and her towns, and the inhabitants of "Me-gid'do and her towns, *even three countries. 12 Yet the children of °Ma- nas'seh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the *Ca'naan-ites would dwell in that land.

AND the second lot came forth to "Sim'e-on, even for the tribe of the children of SiWe-on according to their fam- ilies: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of 6 Ju'dah. 2 And they had in their inherit- ance c Be'er-she'ba, and She'ba, and Mol'a-dah, 3 And d Ha/zar-shii'al, and e Ba'lah, and 'A'zem, 4 And 'El'to-lad, and 7i Be'thul, and 'Hor'mah, 5 And 'Zik'lag,' and *Beth- mar'ca-b5th, and z Ha/zar-su'- sah, 6 And '"Beth-leb'a-oth, and Sha-ru'hen; thirteen cities and their villages: 7 *A'in, "Rem'mon, and t E / ther, and °A'shan; four cities and their villages: 8 And all the villages that ivere round about these cities to e Ba/- al-ath-be'er, p Ra'math of the south.

So Sim'e-on went with him. 4 And JuMah went up ; and the *Lord ? delivered the e Ca'naan- Ites and the *Per'iz-zites into their hand : and they slew of them in Be'zek ten thousand men. 5 And they found A-do'ni-be'- zek in Be'zek: and they fought against him, and they slew the e Ca'naan-Ites and the ^Periz- zites. 6 But A-do'nl-be'zek fled ; and they pursued after him, and caught z him, and w cut off his "thumbs and his great °toes. 7 And ^A-do'nl-be'zek said, Threescore and ten kings, hav- ing their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my *table : as I have done, so God hath requited me.

A ND an a angel of the Lord came up from Gil'gal to Bo'chirn, and said, I made b yo\i to go up out of E'gypt, and have brought you unto the c land which I sware unto your fathers ; and I said, d I will never break my Covenant with you. 2 And ye shall make no league with the ^inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars : but ye have 7 *not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this? 3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive Hhem out from before you ;' 4 but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their ? gods shall be a snare unto you. 4 And it came to pass, when the a angel of the Lord spake these words unto all the children of 6 Is/ra-el, that the people ^lifted up their voice, and Vept. 5 And they called the name of that place Bo'chirn : and they sacrificed there unto the Lord. 6 If And when '"Josh'u-a had let the people go, the children of Is/ra-el went every man unto his inheritance to possess the c land. 7 And the ^people °served the Lord all the days of Josh'u-a, and all the days of the elders that outlived Josh'u-a, who had seen all the great p works of the Lord, that he did for Is/ra-el. 8 And '"Josh'u-a the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, 9 died, being an r hundred and ten years old. 9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in ^lm'nath-he'res, in the mount of *E'phra-im, on the north *side of the hill "Ga'ash. 10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers : B.C. 1425?

CHAPTER 3 The nations which were left to prove Israel. 5 The Israelites dwelling among them are led into idolatry. 8 OthnieV delivers them from Chushan-rishathaim; 12 Ehud from Eglon; 31 and Shamgar from the Philistines. NOW these are the nations which the a LoRD left, to prove ^Is'ra-el by them, even as many of Is'ra-el as had not known all the *wars of Ca'- naan; 2 Only that the generations of the children of Is'ra-el might know, to teach them *war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof; 3 Namely, five lords of the c Phi- lis'tine§, and all the d Ca/naan- Ites, and the e Si-do'ni-ans, and the 'Hi'vites that dwelt in mount ^Leb'a-non, from mount Ba'al- her'mon unto the entering in of Ha/math. 4 And they were to prove Is'- ra-el by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Mo'ses. 5 If And the children of Is'ra-el Mwelt among the d Ca'naan-ites, *Hit'tites, and ? Am'6r-ites, and *Per'iz-zi"tes, and ^Hi'vltes, and z Jeb'u-sItes: 6 And ^they m took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and n served their gods. 7 And the children of Is'ra-el did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and n served Ba'al-im and the proves. 8 Therefore the °anger of the Lord was hot against 6 Is/ra-el, and he sold them into the hand of Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im king of ^Mes-o-po-ta'mi-a : and the children of Is'ra-el served Chu'shan-rish-a-tha'im eight years. 9 And when the children of ? Is'ra-el r ' s cried unto the Lord, the a, *LoRD raised up a deliverer to the children of Is'ra-el, who delivered them, even M Oth'ni-el the son of "Ke'naz, Ca'leb's younger brother. 10 And the ^Spirit of the Lord came upon w him, and he ^judged Is'ra-el, and went out to war: and the a LoRD delivered Chu'- shan-rish-a-tha'im king of Mes- o-po-ta/mi-a into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chu'- shan-rish-a-tha'im. 11 And the ^land had rest forty years. And u ' *Oth'n>el the son of Ke'naz died. 12 If And the children of Is'- ra-el did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eg'lon the king of 2 Mo'ab against a Is'ra-el, be- cause they had done evil in the sight of the Lord. 13 And he fathered unto him the children of c Am'mon and rf Am'a-lek, and went and smote a Is'ra-el, and possessed the e city of palm trees. 14 So the children of a Is'ra-el B.C. 1403?

And all that stood by him went out from him. 20 And E'hud came unto him; and he was sitting in a ^"sum- mer p parlour, which he had for himself alone. And E'hud ? said, n Ihave a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 21 r And E'hiid put forth his left hand, and took the dag- ger from his right thigh, and *•'< "thrust it into his belly: 22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. 23 Then E'hud went forth through the p porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and "locked them. 24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the ^parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his "summer chamber. 25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the p par- lour ; therefore they took a ''"key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. 26 And E'hiid escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Se'i-rath. 27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a "'trumpet in the mountain of *E'phra-im, and the ^children of Is/ra-el went down with him from the mount, and he before them. 28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the 'Mo'ab-Ites into your hand. And they went down after him and took the fords of 2 J6r'dan 3 toward Mo'ab, and suffered not a man to pass over. 29 And they slew of a Mo'ab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man. 30 So a Mo'ab was subdued that day under the hand of Is/ra-el. And the & land had rest fourscore years. 31 If And after him was c Sham'- gar the son of xVnath, which slew of the d Phi-lis'tines six hun- dred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered e Is/-ra-el.

And Deb'o-rah arose, and went with 'Ba'rak to Ke'desh. 10 And 'Ba'rak called *Zeb'u- lun and w Naph'ta-H to u Ke'- desh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deb'o-rah went up with him. 11 Now z He'ber the Ken'lte, which was of the children of Ho'bab the father in law of Mo'ses, had severed himself from the a Ken'ites, and pitched his tent 2 unto the plain of & Za-a- na/irn, which is by Ke'desh. 12 And they shewed *Sis'e-ra that c Ba'rak the son of A-bin'- o-am was gone up to mount d Ta'b6r. 13 And *Sis'e-ra gathered to- gether all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Ha-ro'sheth of the Gen'- tiles unto the river of ^Kl'shon. 14 And e Deb'o-rah said unto c Ba)'/;-rr, Up; for ; this is the day in which the Lord hath deliv- ered Sis'e-ra into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee ? So Ba'rak went down from mount ^Ta'bor, and ten thousand men after him. 15 And ^the Lord discomfited *Sis'e-ra, and all fc#f chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before c Ba'rak; so that Sis'e-ra lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. 16 But c Ba'rak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto' Ha-ro'sheth of the Gen'- tiles : and all the host of *Sis'e-ra fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left. 17 Howbeit *Sis'e-ra fled away on his feet to the tent of ft Ja'el the wife of He'ber the a Ken'ite : for there was peace between l Ja'- B.C. 1396?

And she opened a bottle of 'milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. 20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here ? that '"thou shalt say, No. 21 Then ^Ja'el He'ber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the n nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground! for he was fast asleep and weary.

And when* 1 ' came into her tent, behold, Sis'e-ra lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. 23 So °God subdued on that day l Ja/bin the king of ^Ca'naan before the children of Is/ra-el. 24 And the hand of the children of Is/ra-el prospered, and pre- vailed against * Ja/bin the king of p Ca/naan, until they had de- stroyed Ja/bin king of Ca/naan.

' 5 For they came up with their cattle and their ! tents, and they came as grasshoppers for mul- titude; jor both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it. 6 And Is/ra-el was greatly im- poverished because of the Mid'- i-an-ites; and the children of Is/ra-el 'cried unto the Lord. 7 If And it came to pass, when the children of 7 Ts/ra-el cried unto the Lord because of the e Mid'i-an-Ites, 8 That the Lord z sent a proph- et unto the children of Is/ra-el, which said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Is/ra-el, m I brought you up from E'gypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage; 9 And m I delivered you out of the hand of the 7l E-gyp'tians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land ; 10 And I said unto you, °I am the Lord your God; fear not the gods of the ^Ain'or-Ites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye 6 have not obeyed my voice. 11 f And there came an ff angel of the Lord, and sat under an oak which was in r Oph'rah, that pertained unto *j6'ash the A'bi- ez'rite: and his son '''Gid'e-on threshed wheat by the 'wine- press, to hide it from the e XEid'- l-an-ites. 12 And the *angel of the Lord appeared unto mim, and said unto him, °The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of "val- our. 13 And + Gid'e-on said unto him, Oh my Lord, "if the Lord B.C. 1256?

And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 19 And ^Gid'e-on went in, and made ready a e kid, and unleav- ened cakes of an ^ephah of 3 flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 20 And the ^angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. 21 Then the ^angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the un- leavened cakes; and ; *there rose up fire out of the rock, and con- sumed the flesh and the unleav- ened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. 22 And when ^Gid'e-on per- ceived that he was an ^angel of the Lord, Gid'e-on said, *Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face. 23 And the Lord said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die. 24 Then t Gid'e-on built an 'altar there unto the Lord, and called it Je-ho'vah-sha/loin : un- to this day it is yet in Oph'rah of the A'bi-ez'rites. 25 If And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of A,z Ba'al that thy father hath, and cut down the ''"grove that is by it: 26 And build an 'altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock, in the 4 ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt '"sacrifice with the wood of the *grove which thou shalt cut down. 27 Then f Gid'e-on w -°took ten men of his servants, and p did as the Lord had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. 28 If And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of *Ba'al was g cast down; and the ''"grove was cut down that was by it, and the B.C. 1349?

Then "went he down with Phu'rah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host. 12 And the ^Mid'i-an-Ites and the w Am'a-lek-Ites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like 2 grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. 13 And when ° Gid'e-on was come, behold, there was a man that told a "dream unto his fel- low, and said, Behold, I dream- ed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley ^bread tumbled into the host of Mid'i-an, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gid'e-on the son of ^Jo'ash, a man of Is/ra-el: for in- to his hand hath God delivered Mid'i-an, and all the host. 15 If And it was so, when a Gid'- e-on heard the telling of the °dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Is/ra-el, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Mid'i-an. 16 And he *divided the three hundred men into three com- panies, and he put a 'trumpet in every man's hand, with empty 'pitchers, 3 and lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trump- et, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, B.C. 1249?

And Ze'bul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the moun- tains as if they were men. 37 And Ga'al spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company 5 come along by the plain of Me-6n'e- nim. 38 Then said Ze'bul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, where- with thou saidst, Who is A-bim'- e-lech, that we should serve him ? is not this the people that thou hast despised ? go out, I pray now, and fight with them. 39 And Ga'al went out be- fore the men of She'chem, and fought with ' A-bim'e-lech. 40 And 'A-bim'e-lech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. 41 And 'A-bim'e-lech dwelt at A-ru'mah *. and Ze'bul thrust out Ga'al and his brethren, that they should not dwell in & She'chem. 42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told 'A-bim'e-lech. 43 And he took the people, and 'divided them into three com- panies, and '-laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.

And Sam'son said un- to his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. 4 But his father and his mother knew r not that rf it was of the Lord, that he sought an occa- sion against the & Phi-lis'tines : for at that time the Phi-lis 'tines had dominion over Is'ra-el. 5 Then went a Sam'son down, and his father and his mother, to Tim'nath, and came to the vine- yards of Tim'nath : and, behold, a young e lion roared against him. 6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he Jiad nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. 7 And he went dow T n, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Sam'son well. 8 If And after a time he re- turned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of 7 bees and ff honey in the carcase of the lion. 9 And he took thereof in his hands, and w T ent on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the Hon. 10 If So his father w T ent dow T n unto the woman: and a Sam'son made there a ft,l feast; for so used the young men to do. 11 And it came to pass, w T hen they saw* J him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. 12 And "Sam'son said unto them, I will now put forth a *rid- dle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the h - 'feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty l sheets and thirty change of garments : 13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty -sheets and thirty change of gar- ments.

CHAPTER 15 Samson is denied his wife. 3 He burns the Philistines' corn by means of foxes. 6 His wife and her father are burnt by the Philistines; 7 for which Samson smites them hip and thigh. 9 He is bound by the men of Judah, and delivered to the Philistines; 14 of whom he kills a thou- sand with the jawbone of an ass. 18 God makes a fountain for him in Lehi. BUT it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that °Sam'son visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father-would not suffer him to go in. 2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she ? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 3 U And Sam 'son said concern- ing them, Now shall I be more blameless than the 6 Phi-lis'tmes, though I do them a displeasure. 4 And Sam'son went and caught three hundred c foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing ^corn of the & Phi- lis'tmes, and e burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, 2 with the vineyards and olives. 6 Then the & Phi-lis'tmes said, Who hath done this ? And they answered, "Sam'son, the son in law of the Tim'nfte, because he had taken his wife, and given 410 her to his companion.

And they answered, To bind a Sam'son are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. 1 1 Then three thousand men of ;i Jii'dah went to the 2 top of the rock E'tam, and said to a Sam'- son, Knowest thou not that the Phi-lis'tines are rulers over us ? what is this that thou hast done unto us ? And he said unto them, *x\s they did unto me, so have I done unto them. 12 And they said unto him, W r e are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Phi-lis'tines.

THEN went Yarn's on to & Ga'za, and saw there an harlot, and c went in unto her. 2 And it was told the d Ga/zItes, saying, a Sam'son is come thither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. 3 And "Sam'son lay till mid- night, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoul- ders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before He'bron. 4 If And it came to pass after- ward, that a he loved a e woman in the valley of So'rek, whose name was 'De-ll'lah. 5 And the lords of the ^Phi-hY- tines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may pre- vail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him : and we will ft give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. 6 And 'De-ll'lah said to G Sam'- son, Tell me, I pray thee, where- in thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. 7 And "Sam'son said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as an- other man. 8 Then the lords of the ^Phi- hVtines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. 9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.

Then the lords of the Phi-hVtine§ came up unto her, and ^brought 'money in their hand. 19 And e/ she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. 20 And ^she said, The ^Phi- lis'tines be upon thee, a Sam'son. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he w wist not that the tc Lord was departed from him. 21 But the Thi-lis'tines took °him, and p put out his eyes, and brought him down to & Ga/za, and bound him with ^fetters of 'brass; and s he did 'grind in the prison house. 22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 23 Then the lords of the «?Phi- lis'tines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto *Da'gon their god, and to re- joice: for they said, Our god hath delivered a Sam'son our enemy into our hand. 24 And when the people saw him, they Upraised their god : for they said, Our god hath deliv- ered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our coun- try, which slew many of us. 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts w T ere merry, that they said, Call for fl>s Sam'son, that he may make us sport.

IN those days there was no king in Is'ra-el : and in those days the tribe of the a Dan'Ites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Is'ra-el. 2 And the children of fl Dan sent of their family five men from their 1 coasts, men of val- our, from 6 Zo'rah, and from *Esh'ta-6l, to c spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land : who when they came to mount d E'phra-im, to the house of Mi'cah, they lodged there. 3 When they were by the house of Mi'cah, they knew the voice of the young "man the 'Le'vite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place ? and what hast thou here ? 4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Mi'cah with me, and hath ^hired me, and I am his priest. 5 And they said unto him, h ksk counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be pros- perous. 6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 7 K Then the five men depart- ed, and came to La'ish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt 2 careless, after the manner of the z Zi-do'nI-an§, quiet and secure; and there was no 'magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zi-do'ni-ans, and had no busi- ness with any man. 8 And they came unto their brethren to & Zo'rah and *Esh'- ta-6l: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye ? 9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them : for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good : and are ye still ? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land. 10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land : for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth. 11 If And there went from thence of the family of the °Dan'ites, out of & Zo'rah and out of *Esh'ta-6l, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war. 12 And they went up, and pitched in *Kir'jath-je'a-rim, in Ju'dah: wherefore they called that place Ma'ha-neh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kir' j ath-j e'a-rim . 13 And they passed thence unto mount d E'phra-im, and came unto the house of Mi'cah. 14 Then answered the five men that went to c spy out the country B.C. 1406?

Then said the priest unto them, What do ye ? 19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest : is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest un- to a tribe and a family in Is'ra-el ? 20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he p,e took the '"ephod, and the "teraphim, and the grav- en °image, and went in the midst of the people. 21 So they turned and depart- ed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the 3 carriage be- fore them. t BETH-REHOB.

CHAPTER 19 A Levite goes to Bethlehem to fetch home his concubine. 16 An old man entertains him at Gibeah. 22 The men of the city abuse his concubine to death. 29 He divides her into twelve pieces, and sends them to the twelve tribes. AND it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in a Is/ra-el, that there was a certain Le'vite sojourning on the side of mount 6 E / phra-im, who took to him a c concubine out of d Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah. 2 And his c concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to ^Beth'-le-hem-ju'dah, and was there four whole months. 3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of g asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the *father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 4 And his ^father in law, the damsel's father, ^retained him; and he abode with him three days : so they did eat and drink, and lodged there. 5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the dam- sel's father said unto his son in law, ; Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way. 6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them to- gether: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be con- tent, I pray thee,' and ; tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry. 7 And when the man rose up to depart, his *father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again. 8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to de- part: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. 1,; And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them. 9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening. I pray you ^arry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home. 10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Je'bus, which is * Je-ru'sa-lem ; B.C. 1406?

Go not to e ' 'glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens : 9 ] Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and *go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee ? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 10 Then c she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest 'take knowledge of me, seeing I am a ^stranger ? 11 And *Bo'az answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that 7 thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine hus- band: and how hhou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. 12 ™The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the "Lord God of Is/- ra-el, under whose wings thou art come to Hrust. 13 Then c she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord ; for that thou 'hast comforted me and for that thou 'hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens. 14 And *Bo'az said unto C| °her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the p vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and °he reached her parched g corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. 15 And when she was risen up to e glean, *Bo'az commanded his young men, 'saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: 16 'And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. 17 So c she ^gleaned in the field until even, and r beat out that she had gleaned : and it was about an s ephah of barley. 18 If And *she took it up, and went into the city: and her a> 'mother in law saw what she had ^gleaned: and *she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. 19 And her a mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day ? and where wroughtest thou ? "blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her 'mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is *B6'az. 20 And a Na-o'mI said unto her daughter in law, "Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Na-6'mi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kins- men. 21 And c Ruth the d Mo'ab-It-ess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. 22 And "Na-o'mi said unto c Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field. 23 So she kept fast by the maid- ens of *B5'az to e< -glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.

CHAPTER 3 By Naomi's instruction, 5 Ruth lies down at the feet of Boaz. 8 He acknowledges the duty of a kinsman; 14 and sends her away with six measures of barley. THEN a Na-o'mI & her "mother in law d said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee? 2 And now is not e Bo'az of our kindred, with whose maid- ens thou wast? Behold, he*win- noweth barley to night in the ; threshingfloor. 3 Wash thyself therefore, and ^anoint thee, and put thy rai- ment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, un- til he shall have done eating and drinking. 4 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do. -5 And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do. 6 If And & she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her a,c mother in law bade her. 7 And when e Bo'az had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn : and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. 8 If And it came to pass at mid- night, that the man was afraid, and turned himself : and, behold, a woman lay at his feet. 9 And e he said, Who art thou ? And she answered, I am & Ruth thine handmaid: spread there- fore thy skirt over thine hand- maid; for thou art a near kins- man. 10 And e he "said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kind- ness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou fol- lowedst not young men, whether poor or rich. 11 And "now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest : for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. 12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman : howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I. 13 "Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto & thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part : but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, l as the Lord liveth: lie down until the morning. 14 If And she lay at his feet un- til the morning : and & she rose up before one could know another. And e he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. 15 Also he said, Bring the x vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, "'■'he measured six measures of ^barley, and laid it on her: and 2 she went into the city. 16 And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her. 17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. 18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall : for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

THEN went °Bo'az up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the ^kinsman of whom Bo'az spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down. 2 And he took c ten men of the Mders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. 3 And a he said unto the 6 kins- man, e Na-6'mi, that is come again out of the country of OIo'- ab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother ^E-lim'e- lech's : 4 And I thought to Adver- tise thee, saying, Buy Ht before 2 the inhabitants, and before the ^elders of my people. If thou wilt 'redeem it, redeem it : but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know : for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And & he said, I will redeem it. 5 Then said fl Bo'az, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of e Na-6'mI, thou must buy it also of *Ruth the Mo'ab-It-ess, the wife of the dead, to 'raise up the name of the dead upon his ''inheritance. 6 And the ^kinsman said, I can- not redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own ^inheritance: re- deem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 7 Now this was the manner in former time in Is/ra-el concern- ing 'redeeming and concerning changing, for to m confirm all things; a man plucked off his "shoe, and gave it to his neigh- bour: and this was a testimony in Is/ra-el. 8 Therefore the ^kinsman said unto a Bo'az, Buy Ht for thee. So he drew off his n shoe. 9 % And a Bo'az said unto the cd elders, and unto all the people, Ye are 'witnesses this day, that I have "bought *all that was ^E-lim'e-leeh's, and all that was ^CmTi-on's and ff Mah'lon's, of the hand of c Na-o / mT. 10 Moreover *Ruth the Odf/- ab-It-ess, the wife of Mah'lon, have I 'purchased to be my 'wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the f,d elders, said, We are 'witnesses. s The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like 'Ra'- chel and like M Le'ah, which two did build the house of Is/ra-el: and do thou worthily in Eph'ra- tah, and be famous in v Beth'- le-hem : 12 *And let thy house be like the house of Tha'rez, whom *Ta'mar bare unto ^Ju'dah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of tin's young woman. 13 If So 2 Bo'az took a Ruth, and she was his & wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a c son.

AND a Han'nah & prayed, and c said, de My heart ; rejoi- ceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2 d,e There is none holy as the 9 Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3 *Talk no more so exceed- ing ^proudly; let not ^arrogan- cy come out of your mouth : for the Lord is a God of ^knowl- edge, and by him actions are ^weighed. 4 d,e The bows of the mighty men o,re broken, and they that stumbled are girded with 'strength. 5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the ^barren hath born "seven ; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 6 The Lord °killeth, and p,g,r maketh alive: he °bring- eth down to the grave, and p,3,r bringeth up. 7 The Lord maketh s poor, and 'maketh 'rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 z He raiseth up the w poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the x - "beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: w ior the pillars of the ^earth are the Lord's, and %e hath set the world upon them. 9 z He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in a darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the ^Lord shall be broken to pieces ; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall c judge the ends of the earth ; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. 11 If And ^El'ka-nah went to *Ra/mah to his house. And the ^child did minister unto the Lord before ^E'll the Spriest. 12 Now the *'*sons of E'li were *sons of Be'li-al; they 'knew not the Lord. 13 And the priest's custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a w fleshhook of three teeth in his hand; 14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or ''"caldron, or pot; "all that the ?w fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in °Shl'loh unto all the Is'ra-el-Ites that came thither. B.C. 1165? See footnote, Time, Rev. 10:6. o God, power of, Gen. 2:2.

And they went unto their own home. 21 And the Lord visited s Han'nah, so that she conceived, and bare three ^sons and two daughters. And the child ^Sam'- u-el grew before the Lord. 22 If Now ^E'll was very 2 old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Is/ra-el; and how a - 6 they c ' d \ay with the e women that As- sembled at the door of the tab- ernacle of the congregation. 23 And he ; said unto °' & them, Why do ye such things ? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye ^make the Lord's people to transgress. 25 If one man sin against an- other, 6 the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they /M hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord %ould slay them. 26 And the *child 'Sam'u-el grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men. 27 If And there came a man of God unto m E'li, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did I 7 plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in "E'gypt 8 in °Pha'ra6h's house ? 28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Is/ra-el to be my priest, to offer upon mine p altar, to burn ^incense, to wear an r ephod before me ? and did I give unto the house of thy father fall the offerings made by fire of the' children of Is/ra-el ? 29 Wlierefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make your- selves fat with the chief est of all the offerings of Is'ra-el my people ? 30 Wherefore the Lord God of Is/ra-el saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will hon- our,- and 'they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Behold, the days come, that I will "cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house. 32 And "thou shalt 9 see an ene- my in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Is'- ra-el: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.

CHAPTER 3 How the word of the Lord was first revealed to Samuel. 11 God foretells to Samuel the destruction of Eli's house. 15 Samuel, though unwilling, tells Eli the vision. 20 Samuel established to be a prophet. AND the "child *Sam'u-el ministered unto the Lord before & E'lI. And the c word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open ^vision. 2 And it came to pass at that time, when 6 E'lI was laid down in his place, and e his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; 3 And ere the ; lamp of God went out in the ^temple of the Lord, where the *ark of God was, and *Sam'u-el was laid down to sleep; 4 That the Lord 'called Sam'u-el: and he answered, Here am I. 5 And he ran unto & E'li, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 6 And the Lord called yet again, *Sam'u-el. ' And Sam'u-el arose and went to & E'lI, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 7 Now *Sam'u-el did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 8 And the Lord called *Sam'- u-el again the third time. And /l he arose and went to & E'li, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And E'li perceived that the Lord had called the child. 9 Therefore 6 E'll said unto *Sam'u-el, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Sam'u-el went and lay down in his place. 10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, *• ^Sam'u-el, Sam'- u-el. Then Sam'u-el answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 11 If And the Lord z said to *Sam'u-el, Behold, I will do a thing in Is'ra-el, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 12 In that day I will perform B.C. 1141?

And Sam'u-el feared to shew & E'lI the "vision. 16 Then 6 E'H called *Sam'u-el, and said, Sam'u-el, my son. And he answered, Here am I. 17 And he said, What is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee ? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. 18 And *Sam'u-el told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, *It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. 19 And * ,7c Sam'u-el grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Is'ra-el from "Dan even to w Be'er-she'ba knew that *Sam'u-el was established to be a "'prophet of the Lord. 21 And the Lord appeared again in a ShI'loh: for the Lord ^revealed himself to *Sam'u-el in Shl'loh by the word of the Lord. CHAPTER 4 The Israelites are overcome by the Philis- tines at Eben-ezer. 3 They fetch the ark to the terror of the Philistines. 10 They are smitten again, the ark is taken, and Hophni and Phinehas slain. 12 Eli, at the news, falling backward, breaks his neck. 19 Phinehas' wife, in her travail with Ichabod, dies. AND the word of a Sam'u-el came to all & Is'ra-el. Now Is'ra-el went out against the c Phi-lis'tines to battle, and pitched beside t Eb / en-e'zer: and the Phi-lis'tmes pitched in *A'phek. 2 And the c Phi-lis-tines put themselves in array against & Is'- ra-el: and when they joined bat- tle, Is'ra-el was smitten before the Phi-lis'tmes : and they slew of the "army in the field about four thousand men. 3 If And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of b Is'ra-el said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us to day be- fore the c Phi-lis'tiiies ? Let us fetch the e ark of the covenant of the Lord out of 'Shi'loh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies. 4 So the people sent to 'Shl'loh, that they might bring from thence the c ark of the covenant of the Lord of hosts, 1 which dwelleth °between the cheru- bims: and the two sons of E'll, A Hoph'ni and Thin'e-has, were there with the ark of the cove- nant of God. 5 And when the e ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, all Is'ra-el ''shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again. 6 And when the c Phi-lIs'tme.s heard the noise of the 'shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the *He'brews ?

And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. 8 Woe unto us! 'who shall de- liver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods ? these are the Gods that smote the W2 E-gyp'- tians. with all the plagues in the wilderness. 9 n Be strong, and quit your- selves like men, O ye c Phi-lis'- tines, that ye be not servants unto the ^He'brews, as they have been to you: n quit your- selves like men, and fight. 10 If And the c Phi-lis'tines °fought, and Is/ra-el ^was smit- ten, and they ^fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Is/ra-el thirty thousand footmen. 11 And the c ark of God was taken; and the two sons of 'E'li, "Hoph'nl and Thin'e-has, were p slain. 12 If And there ran a man of s Ben'ja-min out of the ^army, and came to 'Shi'loh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. 13 And when he came, lo, 'E'll sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the e ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out. 14 And when r E'lI heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult ? And the man came in hastily, and told E'll. 15 Now r E / li was 'ninety and eight years old ; and his eyes were dim, that he "could not see. 16 And the man said unto r E'lr, I am he that came out of the d army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son ? 17 And the messenger answered and said, *Ts/ra-el is fled before the c Phi-lis'tines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, ^Hoph'nl and Thin'e- has, are dead, and the e ark of God is taken. 18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the e ark of God, that r he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the "'gate, and his neck, brake, and he ^died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And r * %e had fudged a Is/ra-el forty years. 19 If And his daughter in law, & Phm'e-has' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the c ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and 2 tra vailed; for her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 21 And she named the child ^I'-cha-bod, saying, The glory is departed from Is/ra-el: be- cause the c ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband. 22 And she said, The glory is departed from Is/ra-el: for the c ark of God is taken. CHAPTER 5 The Philistines bring the ark into the house of Dagon at Ashdod. 3 Dagon falls down before the ark; and the men of Ash- dod are smitten with emerods. 8 The ark being brought to Gath and to Ekron, the same judgments follow.

And they took Da'gon, and set him in his place again. 4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, 'Da'gon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the & ark of the Lord; and the head of Da'gon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Da'gon was left to him. 5 Therefore neither the ^priests of 'Da'gon, nor any that come into Da'gon's house, tread on the threshold of Da'gon in d Ash'dod unto this day. 6 If But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of d Ash'- dod, and he destroyed them, and ^smote them with M emerods, even Ash'dod and the 2 coasts thereof. 7 And when the men of d Ash'- dod saw that it was so, they said, The ft ark of the God of Is'ra-el shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon 'Da'gon our god. 8 They sent therefore and gath- ered all the lords of the a Phi- lis'tine§ unto them, and said, What shall we do with the & ark of the God of Is'ra-el ? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Is'ra-el be carried about unto 'Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Is/ra-el about thither. 9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great destruction: and he ^smote the men of the city, both small and great, and 4 they had l emerods in their se- cret parts. 10 If Therefore they sent the ^ark of God to *Ek'ron. And if came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ek'ron, that the Ek'- ron-ites cried out, saying, They have brought about the & ark of the God of Is'ra-el to us, to slay us and our people. 11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the a Phi- lis'tines, and said, Send away the & ark of the God of Is'ra-el, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly ^destruction throughout all the city; the 'hand of God was very heavy there. 12 And the men that died not were smitten with the M eme- rods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. CHAPTER 6 After seven months the Philistines take counsel hoio to send back the ark. 10 They bring it on a new cart unto Beth- shemesh. 13 The people of that place are smitten for looking into the ark. 21 They send to the men of Kirjath-jearim to fetch it. AND the a ark of the Lord was in the country of the 6 Phi-lis'tines seven months. 2 And the "Phi-lTs'tmes called for the priests and the c diviners, saying, What shall we do to the a ark of the Lord ? tell us where- with we shall send it to his place. 3 And they said, If ye send away the °ark of the God of Is'- ra-el, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a ^tres- pass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you. 4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass 1,d offering which we shall return to him ?

CHAPTER 8 Because of the ill government of Samuel's sons, the Israelites ask a king. 6 Samuel, displeased thereat, is comforted of God. 10 He describes to them the manner of a king. 19 Because of their importunity, God directs Samuel to make them a king. ND it came to pass, when a Sam'u-el was 6 old, that he made his sons c ' d judges over e Is'ra-el. A 2 Now the name of his firstborn was ; Jo'el; and the name of his second, ^A-bl'ah: they were judges in ^Be'er-she'ba. 3 And his *sons walked not in his ways, but Ctd ' ] turned aside after lucre, and took *bribes, and perverted judgment. 4 Then all the ^elders of e Is'ra-el gathered themselves to- gether, and came to ft Sam'u-el unto ^Ra'mah, 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art n old, and thy *sons walk not in thy ways: now make e us a °king to judge us like all the nations. 6 If But the thing displeased a Sam'u-el, when they said, Give us a n king to judge us. And Sam'u-el Sprayed unto the Lord. 7 And the Lord said unto a Sam'u-el, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee : for they have not rejected thee, but 9 they have rejected r me, that S I should not 1 reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I 'brought them up out of "E'gypt even unto this day, 2 wherewith they have forsaken me, and ^served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit 3 yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 10 If And a Sam'u-el told all the words of the Lord unto the peo- ple that asked of him a °king. 11 And he said, "This will be the manner of the *king that shall reign over you : He will take your sons, and appoint them for B.C. 1112?

So they went unto the city where the man of God was. 11 If And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young ''maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here ? 12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is be- fore you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the 'high place: 13 As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the 'high place to eat : for the people will not eat until he come, be- cause he doth ? bless the 'sacri- fice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him. 14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, 'Sam'u-el came out against them, for to go up to the 'high place. 15 If Now the Lord had told ^-'"Sam'u-el in his ear a day before t Saul came, saying, 16 To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of a Ben'ja-min, and thou shalt n anoint him to be "captain over my people Is/ra-el, that he may save my people out of the hand of the p Phi-lis'tmes : for q I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me, 17 And when *Sam'u-el saw ^Saul, the r LoRD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! s this same shall reign over my people. 18 Then + Saul drew near to z Sam'u-el in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 19 And z Sam'u-el answered "'"Saul, and said, I am the 'seer: go up before me unto the l high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found.

So Saul did eat with Sam'u-el that day. 25 U And when they were come down from the 'high place into the city, l Sam'%i-el communed with *Saul upon the top of the ^house. 26 And they *arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that z Sam'u-el called 7 t Saul to the top of the w house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Sam'u-el, abroad. 27 And as they were going down to the end of the city, 'Sam'u-el said to ^Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but stand thou still awhile, that I may shew thee the word of God. GH AFTER 10 Samuel anoints Saul. 2 He confirms him by prediction of three signs. 9 Saul's heart is changed, and he prophesies. 17 Saul is chosen at Mizpeh by lot. 26 The people variously affected toxoard him. THEN «• ^Sam'u-el took a vial of d oil, and poured it upon e his head, and kissed him, and said,/.? it not because ; the ^Lord hath ^anointed thee to be captain over his 'inheritance ? 2 When e thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Tla/chel's sep- ulchre in the border of 'Benja- min at Zel'zah ; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and 1,z sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son ? 3 Then shalt e thou go on for- ward from thence, and thou shalt come to the 2 plain of Ta'- bor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to '"Beth'-el, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of "bread, and another carrying a bottle of °wine: 4 And they will ^salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands. 5 After that e thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the gar- rison of the ? Phi-lis'tmes : and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the 'high place with a *psaltery, and a 'tabret, and a "pipe, and a ^harp, before them; and they shall prophesy: 6 And the ^Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 7 And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that B.C. 1096?

Is & Saul also among the prophets ? 12 And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it be- came a proverb, J Is Saul also among the prophets ? 13 And when b he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the g high place. 14 If And & Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye ? And he said, To seek the asses : and when we saw that they were no where, we came to c Sain'u-el. 15 And ^Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what c Sam'u-el said unto you. 16 And 6 Saul said unto his un- cle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof c Sam'u-el spake, he told him not. 17 If And c Sam'u-el called the 44 people together unto the Lord to *Miz'peh; 18 x\nd said unto the children of * Is/ra-el, Thus saith the Lord God of Is/ra-el, I ''brought up Is/ra-el out of E'gypt, and 'de- livered you out of the hand of the *£-gyp'tians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you: 19 And ye have this day ^'"re- jected your God, who himself "saved you out of all your 3 - Ad- versities and your tribulations ; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a p king over us. Now therefore present yourselves be- fore the Lord by your tribes, and by your thousands. 20 And when c Sam'u-el had caused all the tribes of * Is/ra-el to come near, the tribe of ^Ben'- ja-mm r was taken. 21 When he had caused the tribe of ff Ben'ja-min to come near by their families, the family of Ma/tri was taken, and b> s Saul the son of 'Kish ''was taken : and when they sought him, he could not be found. 22 Therefore they enquired of the Lord further, if the man should yet come thither. And the Lord answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff. 23 And they ran and fetched & him thence : and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward. 24 And c Sam'u-el said to all the people, See ye 6 him whom the w Lord hath ^chosen, that there is none like him among all the people ? And all the people ^shouted, and ^said, God save the p king. 25 y Then 2 - fl Sam'u-el told the people the manner of the king- dom, and wrote b it in a c book, and laid it up before the Lord.

CHAPTER 11 The cruel condition offered to the men of Jabesh-gilead. 4 They send messengers to Saul, and are delivered by him. 12 Saul spares his enemies. 14 His king- dom renewed at Gilgal. THEN *Xa'hash the «Am'- mon-ite came up, and en- camped against b Ja'besh-gTl'e-ad : and all the men of Ja'besh said unto Na'hash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. 2 And *Xa'hash the Am'mon- Ite answered them, On this con- dition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Is/ra-el. 3 And the c elders of Ja'besh said unto him, Give us d seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the Coasts of Is/ra-el: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee. 4 If Then came the messengers to f Gib'e-ah of 'Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the peo- ple: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 5 And, behold, 'Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep ? And they told him the tidings of the men of Ja'besh. 6 And the Spirit of God came upon 'Saul when he heard those tidings, and his danger was kin- died greatly. 7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the 1 coasts of Is/ra-el by the hands of messengers, saying, ^Whoso- ever cometh not forth after 'Saul and after ^Sam'u-el, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent. 8 And when he 'numbered 7,: them in Be'zek, the children of z Is/ra-el were three hundred thousand, and the men of m Ju'- dah thirty thousand. 9 And they said unto the mes- sengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of ^Ja'besh- gil'e-ad, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Ja'besh; and they were glad. 10 Therefore the men of Ja'- besh said, n To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you. 11 And it was so on the mor- row, that Saul put the people in "three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning ^watch, and slew the c Am'mon-Ites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together. 12 If And the people said unto 'Sam'u-el, Who is he that said, Shall ' ,ff Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death. 13 And '^Saul said, r - s There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the Lord hath wrought salvation in Is'- ra-el. 14 IF Then said 'Sam'u-el to the B.C. 1095?

CHAPTER 12 Samuel testifies to Israel his integrity. 6 He recounts God's dealings with their fathers; 16 and, by means of thunder in harvest, convinces them of their sin in ask- ing a king: 20 but comforts them in the hope of God's mercy, if obedient. AND a ' & Sam'u-el said unto all Is/ra-el, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a c king over you. 2 And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am rf old and grayheaded; and, be- hold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day. 3 Behold, here € I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed : %hose ox have I taken ? or whose ass have I taken ? or whom have I defrauded ? whom have I op- pressed ? or of whose hand have I deceived any ^bribe to blind mine eyes therewith ? and I will restore it you. 4 And they said, Thou ''hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. 5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, i IIe is witness. 6 If And °Sam'u-el said unto the people, It is the ? 'Lord that advanced *Mo'ses and *Aar'on, and that ^brought your fathers up out of the land of '"E'gypt. 7 Now therefore stand still, that "I may reason with you before the Lord of all the righteous acts of the Lord, which he did to you and to your fathers. 8 When °Ja'cob was come into '"E'gypt, and your fathers p cried unto the Lord, then the Lord sent *M6'ses and z Aar'on, which brought forth your fathers out of E'gypt, and made them dwell in g this place. 9 And when they forgat the Lord their God, he r,s sold them into the hand of 'Sis'e-ra, cap- tain of the host of "Ha'zor, and into the hand of the ^Phi-lis'- tines, and into the hand of the king of w Mo'ab, and they fought against them. 10 And r they x cried unto the Lord, and said, y We have sinned, because we have for- saken the Lord, and have served *Ba/al-im and c Ash'ta- roth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 1 1 And the Lord 6 sent c Je-rub'- ba-al, and Be'dan, and ^Jeph'- thah, and c Sam'u-el, and Me- livered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe. 12 And when ye saw that Na'hash the king of the 1 chil- dren of Am'mon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a ^king shall reign over us : when ; *the Lord your God was your king. 13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, be- hold, *the Lord hath set a king over you. 14 If ye will '"fear the Lord, and serve him, and ^obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall both ye and also the king that reigncth over you con- B.C. 1095?

As for a Saul, he was yet in and all the people him trembling. 8 p And he tarried seven days, ^according to the set time that 'Sain'u-el had appointed: but Sam'u-el came not to A Gil'gal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 And a Saul said, Bring hither a s burnt offering to me, and 'peace offerings. And u,v he of- fered the burnt offering. 10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the s burnt offering, be- hold, 'Sam'u-el came; and a Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. 11 And ^Sam'u-el *said, What hast thou done ? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou earnest not within the days appointed, and that the ^Phi- lis'tines gathered themselves to- gether at d Mich'mash; 12 Therefore said I, The ^Phi- lis'tines will come down now upon me to ^Gil'gal, and I have not %iade supplication unto the Lord: I forced myself there- fore, and offered a *burnt offer- ing. 13 And r Sam'u-el *said to a Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou 2 hast not kept the com- mandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have 446 established thy kingdom upon Is'ra-el for ever. 14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him °a 6,c man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee. 15 And ^Sam'u-el arose, and gat him up from c Gil'gal unto ; Gib'e-ah of Ben'ja-min. And ^Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men. 16 And ^Saul, and ^Jon'a-than his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in ^Ib'e-ah of BeVja-min: but the ^Phi-lis'tines encamped in 'Mich'raash. 17 If And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Phi-lis 'tines A "in three companies: *one com- pany turned unto the way that leadeth to z Oph'rah, unto the land of Shu'al: 18 And ^another company turned the way to '"Beth-ho'ron : and ^another company turned to the way of the border that look- eth to the valley of ^Ze-bo'im to- ward the wilderness. 19 If Now there was no °smith found throughout all the p land of Is/ra-el: for the ^Phi-lis'tines said, Lest the ^He'brews. make them swords or spears: 20 But all the Is/ra-el-Ites went down to the ^Phi-lis'tines, to sharpen every man his r,s share, and his r coulter, and his M ax, and his T - "mattock. 21 Yet they had a file for the "mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the 'axes, and to sharpen the ^goads. 22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither ^sword nor ^spear found in the hand of any of the people that B.C. 1093?

CHAPTER 14 Jonathan, unknown to his father, surprises a garrison of the Philistines. 17 Saul and his men come to the battle. 24 His unadvised adjuration distresses the people. 26 Jonathan, through ignorance, trans- gresses. 32 Saul restrains the people from eating blood. 36 For his transgres- sion, Jonathan is condemned to die by his father; 45 but is rescued by the people. 47 Saul's wars. 49 His family. NOW it came to pass upon a day, that *Jon'a-than the son of a Saul said unto the 6 young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the ^hi-lis'tines/ ^garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father. 2 And a Saul tarried in the utter- most part of e Gib'e-ah under a ; pomegranate tree which is in ^Mig'ron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men; 3 And "A-hl'ah, the son of 'A-hi'tub, 'F-cha-bod's brother, the son of ^Phin'e-has, the son of E'll, the Lord's Spriest in OT Shl'- loh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jon'a-than was gone. 4 If And between the passages, by which * Jon'a-than sought to go over unto the c Phi-lis'tmes' ^garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one teas Bo'zez, and the name of the other Se'neh. 5 The forefront of the one was situate northward over against tMich'mash, and the other southward over against 'Gibf e-ah. 6 And * Jon'a-than said to the "young man that bare his ar- mour, "Come, and let us go over unto the ^garrison of these c un- circumcised : it may be that the Lord will work for us : for Hhere is no restraint to the ^Lord to save by many or by few. 7 And his "armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. 8 Then said * Jon'a-than, Be- hold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover our- selves unto them. 9 If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them. 10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the Lord hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us. 1 1 And both of them discovered themselves unto the ^garrison of the c Phi-lis'tines : and the Phi- lis'tines said, Behold, the r He'- brews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves. 12 And the men of the ^garrison answered *Jon'a-than and his & armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and w T e will shew you a thing. And Jon'a-than said unto his armourbearer, n,0 Come up after me: for the Lord hath de- livered them into the hand of Is'ra-el. 13 And * Jon'a-than climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his & armourbearer after him : and thev fell before Jon'a- B.C. 1087?

'quaked: so it was a very great trembling. 16 And the watchmen of G Saul in e Gib'e-ah of Ben'ja-min looked; and, behold, the mul- titude "melted away, and they went 3 on beating down one an- other. 17 If Then said G Saul unto the people that were with him, w ' ^Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jon'- a-than and his ^armourbearer were not there. 18 And a Saul said unto /u A-hl'- ah, Bring hither the y ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Is'ra- el. 19 If And it came to pass, while a Saul talked unto the Spriest, that the noise that was in the 2 host of the c Phi-hVtmes went on and increased : and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand. 20 And a Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, M every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture. 21 Moreover the r He'brews that were with the c Phi-lis'tine.s before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the 2 Is / ra-el-Ites that were with "Saul and *Jon / a-than. 22 Likewise all the men of Ix'- ra-el which had hid themselves in mount & E'phra-im, when they heard that the c Phi-lis'tines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle. 23 So the Lord d saved e Ls'ra-el that day: and the battle passed over unto / Beth-a / ven. 24 If And the men of Is/ra-el were distressed that day: 4, °for a Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So A none of the people tasted any food. 25 And all they of the land came to a wood ; and there was money upon the ground. 26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the 'honey dropped ; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the ? oath. 27 But *J6n'a-than heard not when his father charged the peo- ple with the ? oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened. 28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an y oath, °saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint. 29 Then said *Jon'a-than, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this money. 30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the A spoil of their ene- mies which they found ? for B.C. 1087?

And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day. 34 And a Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his '"sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating with the p blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there. 35 And fl Saul built an 9 altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. 36 T And "Saul said, Let us go down after the c PhI-lis'tTnes by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the Spriest, Let us draw near hither unto God. 37 And a Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the c Phi-lis'tines ? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Ts'ra-el ? But he s answered him not that day. 38 And a Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people : and know and see where- in this n sin hath been this day. my son, die. But 39 For, as the Lord liveth, which saveth f Is'ra-el, though it be in *Jon'a-than a he shall surely there was not a man among all the people that answered him. 40 Then said he unto all e Is'- ra-el, Be ye on one side, and a I and *J6n'a-than my son will be on the other side. And the peo- ple said unto °Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. 41 Therefore a Saul said un- to the Lord God of Is/ra-el, 7 Give a perfect Hot. And Saul and *Jon'a-than were ^aken: but the people escaped. 42 And a Saul said, Cast Hots between me and *Jon'a-than my son. And Jon'a-than was taken. 43 Then "Saul said to *Jon'a- than, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jon'a-than told him, and said, I did but taste a little 'honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die. 44 "And fl Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, * Jon'a-than. 45 And the ^people a said unto "Saul, Shall *Jon'a-than die, who hath wrought this great sal- vation in Is'ra-el ?

And Sam'u-el hewed ° A'gag in pieces before the Lord in ^Gil'gal. 34 f Then G Sam'u-el went to G Ra'mah; and & Saul went up to his house to r Gib'e-ah of Saul. 35 And G Sam'u-el came no more to see °Saul until the day of his Meath : nevertheless Sam- u'el 'mourned for Saul : and the Lord u - v repented that he had made Saul king over Is/ra-el.

And the Lord said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 3 And call ^Jes'se to the sacri- fice, and *I '"will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt "anoint unto me Hiim whom *I name unto thee. 4 And G Sarn'u-el did that which the Lord spake, and came to Beth'-le-heni. And the ^elders of the town ^trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably ? 5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come ''to sacrifice unto the Lord: ^sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified h Jes'se and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on t E-lI / ab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed is before him. 7 But the Lord said unto "Sam'u-el, Look not on his coun- tenance, or on the height of his stature: because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the "heart. 8 Then ^Jes'se called ^'A-bin'a- dab, and made him pass before a Sam'u-el.

And he said, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 10 Again, ^Jes'se made seven of his sons to pass before Q Sam'- u-el.

E'lah, fighting with the Thi-lis'tines. 20 And ft Da'vid s rose up early in the morning, and d left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as 'Mes'se had com- manded him; and he came to the 2 trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and 'shouted for the "battle. 21 For ^Is/ra-el and the Thi- lis'tines had put the "battle in array, army against army. 22 And Wvid left his Car- riage in the hand of the keeper of the 3 carriage, and ran into the army, and came and "saluted his brethren. 23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the § champion, the Phi-lis'tine of Gath, ^o-li'ath by name, out of the armies of the 7 Thi-lis / - tines, and spake according to the same words: and & Da'vid heard them. 24 And all the men of Is/ra-el, when they saw the man, r fled from him, and were sore afraid. 25 And the men of Is/ra-el said, Have ye seen this man that is come up ? surely to defy Is'- ra-el is he come up : and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will "'enrich him with great ^riches, and will "^give him his daughter, and "'make Ins father's house free in Is/ra-el. 26 And a Da'vid spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Phi-lis'tine, and taketh away the reproach from Is/ra-el ? for & who is this uncir- cumcised Phi-lis'tine, that he should defy the armies of the living God ? 27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 28 And C E-H'ab his eldest bro- ther heard when he spake unto the men; and E-li'ab's d anger was kindled against a Da'vid, and he said, Why earnest thou down hither? and *with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness ? 1 \ know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine ^heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the "battle. 29 And c Da'vid 7i said, What have I now done ? Is there not a cause ? 30 And he turned from him to- ward another, and spake after the same manner: and the peo- ple answered him again after the former manner. 31 And when the words were heard which a Da'vid spake, they rehearsed them before 'Saul : and he sent for him. 32 1 And a Da'vid said to *Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him ; Hhy servant *will go and fight with this tPhi-lis'tine. 33 And *Siiul said to "Da'vid, Thou art not able to go against this tPhf-lis'tine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, B.C. 1063?

And *Saul said unto Da/vid, Go, and r the Lord be with thee. 38 If And *Saul 4 armed Da/vid with his 5 armour, and he put an *helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a *coat of mail. 39 And a Da'vid girded his 'sword upon his 5 armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And Da/vid said un- to *Sciul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And Da/vid put them off him. 40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his + sling was in his hand: and j he drew near to We Phi-lis'tine. 41 And *the PhT-hVtme came on and drew near unto a Da/vid; and the man that bare the shield went before him. 42 And when f the Phi-lis'tine looked about, and saw Da/vid, he disdained him : for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43 And the tPhi-lis'tine said unto a Da'vid, Am I a w dog, that thou comest to me with staves ? And the Phi-lis'tine cursed Da'- vid by his ^gods. 44 And the Phi-lis'tine "'said to Da'vid, Come to me, and I will givethyflesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 45 'Then said "Da'vid to the t Phi-lis / tine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a 6 shield: but P I come to thee in the name of the ^Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Is'ra-el, whom thou hast defied. 46 p This day will the Lord de- liver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the ^Phi-lis'tines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Ls'ra-el. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord •''saveth not with sword and spear: for the 2 battle is the Lord's, and he will a give you into our hands. 48 And it came to pass, when the Phi-lis'tine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet Da'vid, that Da'vid hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Phi-lis'tine. 49 And & Da'vid put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote *the Phi- lis'tine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

And when the c Phi-lis'- tines saw their § champion was dead, they fled. 52 And the men of d Is'ra-el and of Ju'dah arose, and shout- ed, and pursued the c Phi-lis'tines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of 6 Ek'r6n.

The Lord, the God of Isra- el, be witness; liveth, there is ''but a step be- tween me and 'death. 4 Then said ^Jon'a-than unto °Da'vid, ^Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 5 And a Da'vid said unto d Jon'- a-than, Behold, to morrow is, the new T moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at /c meat: but let me go, that I may hide my- self in the field unto the third day at even. 6 If thy father at all miss me, then say, Da/vid earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to 'Beth'-le-hem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 7 If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very '"wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him. 8 Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a "covenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thy- self; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father ? 9 And d J6n'a-than said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew cer- tainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then /,:? would not I tell it thee? 10 Then said "Da'vid to <*J6n'- a-than, Who shall tell me ? or what if thy father answer thee roughly ? 11 And ^Jon'a-than said unto a Da'vid, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field. 12 And d J6n'a-than said unto °Da/vid, j O Lord God of Is'- ra-el, when I have sounded my ^father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, be- 13 o Prayer, interces- sory, Acts 6:4. 15 p God, providence of.

Therefore he cometh not unto the king's stable. 30 Then Saul's 2 anger was kindled against a Jon'a-than, and he & said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the c son of d Jes'se to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness? 31 e,/ For as long as the son of Jes'se liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for & he shall surely die. 32 And a Jon'a-than answered Saul his father, and ^said unto him,- Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? 33 And Saul cast 2 a javelin at him to smite him : whereby Jon'- a-than knew that it was deter- mined of his father to slay c Da'vid. 34 So a J6n'a-than arose from the ; *table in fierce *anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the /month : for he was grieved for Da/vid, because his father had done him shame. 35 If And it came to pass in the morning, that a Jon'a-than went out into the field at the time ap- pointed with c Da'vid, and a little lad with him. 36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the ^arrows which I *shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him. 37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which a Jon'a-than had shot, Jona- than cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee? 38 And ° Jon'a-than cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not.

And Do'eg the E'dom-ite turned, and he fell up- on the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen n ephod. 19 And ^Nob, the city of the ; priests, °smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 20 If And one of the sons of ^A-him'e-lech the son of p A-hI'- tub, named ^A-bl'a-thar, es- caped, and fled after 'Da'vid. 21 And ^A-bi'a-thar shewed 'Da'vid that 'Saul *'*had slain the Lord's Spriest s. 22 And 'Da'vid said unto *A-bi'a-thar, I knew it that day, when m Do'eg the E'doni-Ite was there, that he would surely tell c Saul : I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house. 23 9 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.

Then Ab'ner an- swered and said, Who art thou that criest to the ^king ? 15 And a Da'vid said to * Ab'- ner, AH not thou a valiant man ? and who is like to thee in Is/ra-el ? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the d king ? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord. 16 This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the Lord liveth, ye are worthy to die, be- cause ye have not kept your mas- ter, the Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's e spear is* and the * cruse of water that was at his ^bolster. 17 And ^Saul knew "Da'vid's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, myson Da'vid? And Da'vid said, It is my voice, my lord, O king. 18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord ^thus pursue after his servant ? for what have I done ? or what evil is in mine hand ? 19 Now r therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the chil- dren of men, cursed be they be- fore the Lord; for they have driven me out tins day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods. 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth 3 before the face of the Lord: for the king of Is/ra-el is come out to seek a *flea, as when one doth 'hunt a ^'partridge in the moun- tains. 21 If Then said ^Saul, l I have sinned : return, my son a Da'vid : for I will no more do thee harm, because my 4 soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

So Da'vid went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. CHAPTER 27 David flees to Gath, and Saul seeks no more for him. 5 Achish gives Ziklag to David. 8 He deceives Achish.

G Then f A'ehish gave him ^Zik'lag that day: wherefore Zik'lag pertaineth unto the kings of Jfi'dah unto this day. 7 And the time that "Da'vid dwelt in the country of the rf Phi- lTs'tines was a full year and four months. 8 If And "Da'vid and his men went up, and invaded the 'Gesh'u-rites, and the w Gez'- rltes, and the n Am'a-lek-Ites : for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to °Shur, even unto the land of p E'gypt, 9 And "Da'vid smote the land, and left 'neither man nor woman alive, and took away the r sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to A'chish. 10 And e A'chish said, Whither have ye made a road to day ?

CHAPTER 28 Achish puts confidence in David 3 Saul, forsaken of God, resorts unto a witch at En dor. 12 Samuel appears and makes known to Saul his approaching ruin. AND it came to pass in those days, that the G Phi-hY- tines gathered their ^armies to- gether for c warfare, to fight with d Is'ra-el. And e A'chish said un- to 'Da'vid, Know thou assured- ly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men. 2 And ; Da'vid said to e A'chish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And A'chish said to Da'vid, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever. 3 If Now ? Sam'u-el was dead, and all Ls/ra-el had ''lamented him, and 'buried him in ? Ra'- mah, even in his own city. And A Saul had put away those that had 'familiar spirits, and the "'wizards, out of the land. 4 And the a - "Phi-hVtines gath- ered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shn'nem: and A Saul gathered all Is'ra-el together, and they pitched in "Gil-bf/a. 5 And when A Saul saw the liost of the Phi-lis'tines, he was °afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 6 And when A Saul enquired of the Lord, the Lord ^an- swered him not, neither by ''dreams, nor by s C'rim, nor by 'prophets. 7 Then said A 'Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that "hath a 'familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at *En'-dor. 8 And A "Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, 'divine unto me by the 'familiar spirit, and bring me Mm up, whom I shall name unto thee. 9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what A Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have 'familiar spirits, and the "'wizards, out of the land: wherefore then la vest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die ? 10 And Saul ^sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liveth, there shall no punish- ment happen to thee for this thing. 11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee ? And he said, Bring me up ^Sam'u-el. 12 And when the woman saw "Sam'u-el, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to A Saul, saying, Why hast thou de- ceived me ? for thou art A 'Saul. \ 13 And the king said unto her, I Be not afraid : for what sawest 1 thou ? And the woman said unto Saul, I ] saw gods ascending out of the earth. 14 And he said unto her, What form is he of ? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a 2 mantle. And A Saul perceived that it ivas ^Sam'u-el, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 15 And ^Sam'u-el said to A 'Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up ? And Saul an- swered, I am sore distressed; for the Phi-lis'tmes make war against me, and God is *depart- ed from u me, and answereth me no more, neither by 3 prophets, nor bv a dreams : therefore I have B.C. 1056?

But his servants, together with the woman, com- pelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed. 24 "And the woman had a fat calf in the house ; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake un- leavened bread thereof: 25 "And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. CHAPTER 29 The lords of the Philistines mistrust David. 6 Achish dismisses him, with commenda- tions of his fidelity. ^VTOW the a Phi-lis'tines gath- ■i- 1 ered together all their Cr- imes to c A'phek: and the •±§f- ra-el-ites pitched by a fountain which is in e JeVre-el. 2 And the lords of the a Phi-lis'- tines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but ; Da'vid and his men passed on in the rereward with ^A'chish. 3 Then said the princes of the Phi-lis'tines, What do these ^He'brews. here ? And ^A'chish said unto the princes of the Phi- lis'tines, Is not this ; Da/vid, the servant of Saul the king of II'- ra-el, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day ? 4 And the princes of the a Phi- hVtines. were wroth with him; and the princes of the Phi-lis'- tines said unto him, \Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an ad- versary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master ? should it not be with the heads of these men ? 5 Is not this ; Da'vid, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, 7 Saul slew his B.C. 1056?

And the Phi-lis'- tme§ went up to e Jez're-el. CHAPTER 30 The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 4 David by God's direction pursues them, 11 and recovers the spoil. 22 David's law for dividing spoil. 26 He sends presents to his friends. AND it came to pass, when a Da'vid and his men were come to & Zik'lag on the third day, that the c Am'a-lek-ites had invaded the south, and Zik'lag, and smitten Zik'lag, and burned it with fire; 2 And had taken the women * captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 3 So c Da/vid and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken * captives. 4 Then Da/vid and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and ^wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And Da/vid' s e two wives were taken captives, ^A-hin'o-am the Jez're-el-It-ess, and ^Ab'i-gail the wife of Xa/bal the CaV- mel-ite. 6 And Da/vid was greatly dis- tressed; for the people spake of ^stoning him, because the soul of all the people was ^grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but Da/vid en- couraged himself in the Lord his God. 7 And a Da'vid said to A A-bI'a- thar the 'priest, 'A-him'e-lech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the *'ephod. And A-bl'a-thar brought thither the ephod to Da'vid. 8 And a Da/vid inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop ? shall I overtake them ? And he ^answered him, Pursue: for thou shaft surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 9 So a Da/vid went, he and the six hundred men that were with B.C. 1056?

And he said, I am a young man of E'gypt, servant to an Am'a-lek-ite ; and my master s left me, because three days agone I fell sick. 14 c We made an invasion upon the south of the *Cher'e-thites, and upon the coast which be- longeth to l Ju'dah, and upon the south of Ca'leb; and we burned ^Zik'lag with fire. 15 And Da/vid said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company ?

NOW the G Phi-lis'tine ? fought against 6 Is/ra-el: and the men of Is/ra-el fled from before the Phi-lTs'tmes, and fell down slain in mount c GU-bo'a. 2 And the "Phi-lis'tines fol- lowed hard upon d Saul and upon his sons ; and the Phi-lis 'tines, slew e Jon'a-than, and *A-bin'a-dab, and 'Mel'chl-shu'a, Saul's sons. 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the ^arch- ers mit him; and he was 2 sore wounded of the archers. 4 Then said Saul unto his A ar- mourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through there- with; lest these a uncircumcised come and 'thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armour- bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and 'fell upon it. 5 And when his ^armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he 'fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. 6 So d Saul died, and his three e/ sons, and his 7 'armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together. 7 If And when the men of 6 Is/- ra-el that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side fc J6r'dan, saw that the men of Is/ra-el fled, and that d Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the "Phi-lTs'tines came and dwelt in them. 8 U And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Phi-lis'tines came to 'strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount '"Gil-bo'a. 9 And they cut off his n head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Phi-lis'- tines round about, to publish it in the house of their °idols, and among the people. 10 And they put his "armour in j the %ouse of ^Ash'ta-roth : and they fastened his body to the '"wall of s Beth'-shan. 1 1 And when the inhabitants of | B.C. 1056?

"VTOW it came to pass after -i- 1 the death of a Saul, when & Da'vid was returned from the slaughter of the c Am'a-lek-Ites, and Da'vid had abode two days in d Zik'lag; 2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes c rent, and ; earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to & Da'vid, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 3 And 6 Da/vid said unto him, From whence comest thou ? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of ^Is/ra-el am I escaped. 4 And ^Da'vid said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and Mead; and °Saul and ^Jon'a-than his son are dead also. 5 And 6 Da/vid said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that fl Saul and 1 Jon'a-than his son be dead ? 6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount ? Gil-bo'a, behold, Saul leaned upon his ^spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him. 7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I. 8 And he said unto me, Who art thou ? And I answered him, I am an Am'a-lek-ite. 9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me. 10 So I stood upon him, and *slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the z crown that was upon his head, and the '"bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord. 11 Then Wvid took hold on his clothes, and e rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him: 12 And they ^mourned, and wept, and °fasted until even, for a Saul, and for ^Jon'a-than his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Is'- ra-el; because they were fallen by the sword. 13 If And 6 Da'vid said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou ?

And he 'smote him that he "died. 16 And Da'vid said unto him, Thy ^blood be upon thy head; for w thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have *slain the Lord's anointed. 17 If And Da'vid *■ y - lamented with this ^lamentation over 6 Saiul and over c Jon'a-than his son : 18 (Also he bade them teach the children of Ju'dah the x use of the ''"bow: behold, it is written in the ^book of Ja'sher.) 19 a '^The beauty of Is'ra-el is slain upon thy high places : how are the mighty fallen! 20 Tell it not in *Gath, pub- lish it not in the streets of A As'- ke-lon; lest the daughters of the Thi-lis'tines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21 Ye mountains of J Gil-bo'a, let there be no dew, neither let there be ■'•rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the ^'shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of 6 Saul, 2 as though he had not been ^anointed with oil. 22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the '''bow of c Jon'a-than turned not back, and the sword of 6 Saul returned not empty. 23 & Saul and c Jon'a-than were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their '"death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 24 Ye daughters of Is'ra-el, "weep over 6 Saul, who clothed you in °scarlet, 3 with other de- lights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 25 "How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jon'a-than, thou wast slain in thine high places. 26 n I am distressed for thee, my brother Jon'a-than: very pleas- ant hast thou been unto me: thy p love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war per- ished ! CHAPTER 2 David, by God's direction, goes up to He- bron, where he is made king of J.udah. 5 He commends the men of Jabesh-gilead for their kindness to Saul. 8 Abner makes Ish-bosheth king of Israel. 12 A skirmish between the men of Abner and of Joab. 18 Asahel is slain. 25 At Abner' s request Joab sounds a retreat. 32 Asahel's burial. AND it came to pass after this, that a Da'vid in- quired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of c Ju'dah ? And the Lord d said unto him, Go up. And Da'vid said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto e He'bron. 2 So c Da/vid went up thither, and his ^two waives also, a A- hm'o-am the Jez're-el-it-ess, and *Ab1-gail Na/bal's wife the Cai/mel-ite. B.C. 1056?

And they told Da/vid, saying, That the men of A Ja/- besh-gil'e-ad were they that buried *Saul. 5 \ And a Da/vid sent messen- gers unto the men of 7 Ja/besh- gil'e-ad, and said unto them, w,w Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have shewed this kind- ness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him. 6 °And now the Lord shew kindness and p truth unto you: and '"I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing. 7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye val- iant: for your master *Saul is dead, and also the house of c Ju'dah have *anointed me ^king- over them. 8 If But q Ab'ner the son of Ner, r,s captain of Saul's host, took *Ish-bo / sheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to 'Ma- ha-na/im; 9 And made him king over M Gil'e-ad, and over the ^Ash'ur- Ites, and over w Jez're-el, and over ^E'phra-im, and over y Ben'ja-mm, and over all 3 Is'- ra-el. 10 *Ish-b6'sheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Is/ra-el, and reigned two years. But the house of "Ju'dah followed & Da'vid. 11 And the time that Da/vid was king in c He / bron over the house of Ju'dah was seven years and six months. 12 If And d Ab'ner the son of Ner, and the servants of *Ish- bo'sheth the son of e Saul, went out from 'Ma'ha-na'im to ^Gib'- e-on. 13 And A Jo'ab the son of *Zer- u-I'ah, and the servants of & Da'- vid, went out, and met together by the t pool of Gib'e-on: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool. 14 And d Ab'ner said to A Jo'ab, ?

And Da'vid sent Ab'ner away; and he went in peace. 22 If And, behold, the servants of & Da'vid and ^Jo'ab came from 2 pursuing a troop, arid brought in a great r spoil with them: but ^Ab'ner was not with Da'vid in n He'bron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace. 23 When ?Jo'ab and all the host that teas with him were come, s they told Jo'ab, saying, Ab'ner the son of Xer came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 24 *Then Jo'ab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done ? behold, Ab'ner came un- to thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone? 25 ?/ Thou knowest Ab'ner the son of Xer, that he came to de- ceive thee, and to know thy go- ing out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 26 And when ff Jo'ab was come out from & Da'vid, he sent mes- sengers after ^Ab'ner, which brought him again from the well of Si'rah; but Da'vid knew it not. 27 And when Ab'ner was re- turned to "He'bron, q Jo'ab took him aside in the gate to r speak with him quietly, and w ' x - y smote | him there ^nder the fifth rib, that he died, 2 for the blood of a A'sa-hel his brother. 28 \ And afterward when &Da'- vid heard it, he c said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever from the blood of d Ab'ner the son of Xer: 29 c Let it rest on the head of e Jo'ab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Jo'ab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 30 So e Jo'ab and ^A-bish'a-I his brother slew d Ab'ner, ; be- cause he had slain their brother a A'sa-hel at ^Gib'e-on in the battle. 31 «[ c And &Da'vid said to e Jo'- ab, and to all the people that were with him, ^Rend your clothes, and gird you with sack- cloth, and miourn before d Ab'- ner. And king Da'vid himself followed the ^bier. 32 And they 7: buried d Ab'ner in ?

And all the people w wept again over him. 35 And when all the people came to cause Da'vid to eat meat while it was yet day, Da' vid r sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, s if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down. 36 And all the people took no- B.C 1048?

AND when a Saul's & son heard that c Ab'ner was dead in ^He'bron, his hands were feeble, and all the Is'ra-el-ites were troubled. 2 And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Ba/a-nah, and the name of the other Re'- chab, the sons of Rim'mon a Be-e'roth-ite, of the children of e Ben / ja-min : (for ^Be-e'roth also was reckoned to Ben'ja-min. 3 And the Be-e'roth-Ites fled to ^Git'ta-im, and were sojourners there until this day.) 4 And ft J6n'a-than, "Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jon'a-than out of *Jez're-el, and his 'nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was A Me-phib'o-sheth. 5 % And the sons of Rim'mon the Be-e'roth-ite, Re'chab and Ba/a-nah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of & Ish-b6'sheth, who lay on a bed at noon. 6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they Z,B1, "smote him Wilder the fifth rib: and Re'chab and Ba/a-nah his brother escaped. 7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and be- headed him, and took his head, and gat them away through the 2 plain all night. 8 And they brought the head of ft Ish-b6'sheth unto °Da'vid to d He'bron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bo'sheth the son of a Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed. 9 H p And Da/vid answered Re'- chab and Ba/a-nah his brother, the sons of Rim'mon the Be-e'- roth-Ite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath re- deemed my soul out of all ad- versity, 10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Zik'lag, 3 who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings : 11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a right- eous person in his own house up- on his bed ? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth ? 12 And Da/vid commanded his B.C. 1048?

CHAPTER 5 The tribes come to Hebron to anoint David king over Israel. 4 His age. 6 He takes Zion from the Jebusites and dwells in it. 11 Hiram sends to David. 14 Eleven sons are born to David in Jerusa- lem. 17 He smites the Philistines at Baal- perazim, 22 and again at the mulberry trees. THEN came all the tribes of a Ls/ra-el to 6 Da/vid unto he'bron, and spake, saying. Behold, we arc thy bone and thy flesh. 2 Also in time past, when d Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Is/ra-el: and the Lord said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Is/ra-el, and thou shalt be a cap- tain over Is/ra-el. 3 So all the e elders of Is/ra-el came to the king to c He'bron; and king & Da/vid ''made a league with them in He'bron before the Lord: and they ^anointed Da/- vid ft, *king oVer Is/ra-el. 4 & Da/vid was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. 5 In c He'bron he reigned over 'Ju'dah seven years and six months : and in k Je-ru'sa-lem he reigned thirty and three years over all ° Is/ra-el and Ju'dah. 6 If And the ^king and his men went to k Je-ru'sa-lem *unto the z Jeb'u-sItes, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto Da/vid, saying, Except thou take away the m blind and the "lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, Da/vid cannot come in hither. 7 Nevertheless Da/vid took the strong hold of *Zi'6n: the same is the *city of Da/vid. 8 And & Da'vid said on that day, Whosoever 2 getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the *Jeb'u- sltes, anjl the n lame and the '"blind, that are hated of Dav'id's soul, he shall be chief and cap- tain. 3 Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. 9 So Da/vid dwelt in the °fort, and called it the A city of Da/vid. And Da/vid built round about from t Mil / 16 and inward. 10 And & Da'vid went on, and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him. 11 If And ^Hi'ram king of p Tyre sent ^messengers to & Da'- vid, and r cedar trees, and s car- penters, and !l masons: and they 'built Da'vid an w house. 12 And Da/vid perceived that the ^Lord had established him king over ? Is/ra-el, and that he had exalted his kingdom, for his people Is/ra-el' s sake. 13 If And ft Da'vid ?0 took him more ^concubines and wives out of *Je-ru'sa-lem, after he was come from he'bron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to Da/vid. 14 And these be the names of those that were born unto him in B.C. 1048?

And the Lord °said unto Da/vid, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Phi-lis'tines into thine hand. 20 And ''Da/vid came to p Ba'al- peVa-zim, and D a/v i d smote them there, and said, The Lord hath broken forth upon mine en- emies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Ba/al- per'a-zim. 21 And there they left their q im- ages, and ^Da'vid and his men 4 burned them. 22 If And the ^Phi-lis'tines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of '"RephViin. 23 And when 'Da'vid "en- quired of the Lord, he °said, 'Thou shalt not go up; 5 but s fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the 'mulberry trees. 24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of 6 a gong in the tops of the 'mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thy- self; for then shall the "Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Thi-lis'tmes. 25 And 'Da/vid did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the ^Phi-lis'tines from ^Ge'ba until thou come to "'Ga'zer. CHAPTER 6. David fetches the ark from Kirjath-jearim on a new cart. 6 Uzzah is smitten. 11 God blesses Obed-edom. 12 David bring- ing the ark into Zion dances before it. 17 He places it in the tabernacle. 20 Mi- chal, reproving David for his religious joy, is childless to her death. AGAIN, °Da'vid gathered to- gether all the chosen men of 6 Is/ra-el, thirty thousand. 2 And a Da'vid arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Ba'al-e of Ju'dah, to bring up from thence the c ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that 1,( * ,e dwelleth between the cherubims. 3 And they set the c ark of God upon a new ; cart, and brought it out of the house of ^A-bin'a-dab that was in 2,; 'Gib'e-ah: and ^Uz'zah and y A-hl'6, the sons of A-bin'a-dab, drave the new cart. 4 And they brought it out of the house of ^A-bin'a-dab which was at 2,7 *Gib'e-ah, accompany- ing the ark of God: and A-hi'6 went before the ark. 5 And a Da'vid and all the house of Is'ra-el Splayed before the Lord on all manner of instru- ments made of fir wood, even on 'harps, and on ^psalteries, and on "timbrels, and 3 on cornets, and on °cymbals. 6 And p when they came to Na/- chon's ^threshingfloor, 2 Uz'zah r put forth his hand to the c ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen 4 shook it. 7 And the s anger of the Lord was kindled against x Uz'zah; and God 'smote him there for B.C. 1047?

So Da'vid went and brought up the ark of God from the house of O'bed-e'dom into the v city of Da/vid with gladness. 13 And it was so, that when they that bare the c ark of the Lord had gone six Spaces, he sacrificed 5 oxen and fatlings. 14 And Da/vid ^danced before the Lord with all his might; and 2 Da/vid was girded with a linen a ephod. 15 So & Da'vid and all the house of Is'ra-el brought up the c ark of the Lord with ^shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. | 16 And as the c ark of the Lord came into the e city of Da/vid, ; Mi'chal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king Da/vid leaping and ^dancing be- fore the Lord; and ^she de- spised him in her heart. 17 If And they brought in the c ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the 6 tabernacle that ^Da'vid had pitched for it: and Da'vid of- fered l burnt offerings and J peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And as soon as 6 Da/vid had made an end of offering 1 burnt offerings and ? peace offerings, he ^blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Is/ra-el, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a 7 flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house. 20 If Then & Da'vid returned to bless his household. And 'Mi'- chal the daughter of Saul came out to meet Da/vid, and * ,w said, How glorious was the king of Is/ra-el to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shame- lessly uncovereth himself! 21 And Da/vid said unto Mi'- chal, It was before the Lord, which ^chose me before thy fa- ther, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the peo- ple of the Lord, over Is/ra-el: therefore will I play before the Lord. 22 And I will vet be more vile B.C. 1042?

AND it came to pass, when the a,6 king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies ; 2 That the a - 6 king said unto *Na'than the prophet, c See now, I dwell in an d house of cedar, but the e ark of God dwelleth within curtains. 3 And *Na'than said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee. 4 ^f And it came to pass that night, that 'the word of the Lord came unto *Na'than, saying, 5 Go and tell my servant 6 Da/- vid, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an ^house for me to dwell in ? 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I ^brought up the children of tls'H ra-el out of *E'gypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a ^tabernacle. 7 In all flic places wherein I have walked with all the chil- dren of Ts'ra-el spake I a word with any of the tribes of Is'- ra-el, whom I commanded to feed my people Is'ra-el, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? 8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant Da/vid, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, l l ™took thee from the sheepcote, from ^following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Is'ra-el : | 9 And I was with thee whither- soever thou wentest, and ^have ! cut off all thine enemies out of ! thy sight, and have °made thee a I great name, like unto the name j of the great men that are in the ' earth. j 10 Moreover I will ^appoint a j place for my people * Is'ra-el, and i will plant them, that they may i dwell in a place of their own, and ! move no more; neither shall ! the children of wickedness afflict them 'any more, as beforetime, 11 And as since the time that l I commanded judges to be over i my people p I§'ra-el, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. 12 And ^when thy days be ful- filled, and thou shalt sleep with i thy fathers, Z/ T will r set up thy I s seed after thee, which shall pro- I ceed out of thy bowels, and I I will establish his kingdom. 13 ff He shall build an 'house for my name, and l I will stablish w the throne of s his kingdom r for ever. 14 «•»! will be his ^father, and *he shall be my son.

And is this the manner of man, O Lord God ? 20 And what can ^Da/vid say more unto thee ? for thou, Lord God, '• A knowest thy servant. 21 For thy word's sake, and ac- | cording to z thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. 22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God : for there is- none like thee, neither is there any m God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like n Is/ra-el, whom God went to Re- deem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you p great things and ter- rible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from ^E'gypt, from the nations and their gods ? 24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people n Is/ra-el to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God. 25 Wnd now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and con- cerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 26 ft And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Is/ra-el : and let the house of thy servant' Da/vid be established before thee. 27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Is/ra-el, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house : therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to ^pray this prayer unto thee. 28 And now, O Lord God, 'thou art that God, and thy words s be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant : 29 ''Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

And Jo'ram brought with him vessels of °silver, and ves- sels of 6 gold, and vessels of c brass : 11 Which also king ^Da'vid did e,/ dedicate unto the Lord, with the a silver and 6 gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued; 12 Of ^Syrt-a, and of »Mo'ab, and of the ^children of Am'mon, and of the y Phi-lis'tmes, and of A Am'a-lek, and of the spoil of Had-ad-e'zer, son of Re'hob, king of z Zo'bah. 13 And ^Da'vid gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the ^Syr'i-ans in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men. 14 If And he put '"garrisons in E'dom; throughout all E'dom put he garrisons, and all "they of E'dom became Da/vid's Serv- ants. And the Lord preserved Da'vid whithersoever he went. 15 And d Da'vid reigned over all p Is'ra-el; and Da'vid executed judgment and q justice unto all his people. 16 r And s Jo'ab the son of 'Zer-u-I'ah was over the "host; and v Je-h6sh'a-phat the son of ^A-hi'lud was ^recorder; 17 And *Za'dok the son of ^A-hi'tu^and 3 A-him'e-lech the son of A-bi'a-thar, were the "priests; and & Ser-a-i'ah was the c scribe; 18 And d Be-na/iah the son of e Je-hoi'a-da was over both the ; Cher'e-thrtes and the ff Pel'e- thites; and Da/vid's ^sons were 5 chief rulers.

Now ^Zi'ba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then said Zi'ba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for ^Me-phib'o-sheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons. 12 And ^le-phib'o-sheth had a young son, whose name was 'Ml'cha. And all that dwelt in the house of Zi'ba were servants unto Me-phib'o-sheth. 13 So t Me-phib'o-sheth dwelt in u Je-ru'sa-lem : for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.

And he pressed him : howbeit he would not go, but 1 blessed him. 26 Then said Ab'sa-lom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother "Am'- non go with us. And the king- said unto him, Why should he go with thee ? 27 But a Ab'sa-lom pressed him, that he let Am'non and all the king's sons go with him. 28 If Now a Ab'sa-lom had com- manded his servants, saying, ^Mark ye now when "Am'non's heart is "'merry with ^wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Am'- non; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you ? be cour- ageous, and be valiant. 29 And the servants of Ab'sa- lom Vt z did unto a Am'non as Ab'- sa-lom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his ^rnule, and fled. 30 If And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tid- ings came to c Da'vid, saying, d Ab'sa-lom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left. 31 Then the king arose, and e 'tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 32 And J5n'a-dab, the son of ff Shim'e-ah Da'vid's brother, an- swered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for "Am'non only is dead: for by the appointment of d Ab'- sa-lom this hath been deter- mined from the day that he ''forced his sister ^Ta'mar. 33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Am'- non only is dead. 34 But d Ab'sa-lom 'fled. And the *young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him. 35 And Jon'a-dab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is. 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speak- ing, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and z wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore. 37 1 But ^Ab'sa-lom fled, and went to m Tal'mai, the son of Am-ml'hud, king of w Ge'shur.

And he said, q As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 12 Then the woman said, fc Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the ^king. And he said, Say on. 13 And the woman r said, Where- fore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished. 14 s For we 'must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which can not be gathered up again; neither doth God Re- spect any person: yet doth w he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 15 Now therefore that I am come to A 'speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid : and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 16 For the king will hear, to de- liver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would de- stroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 17 Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable : H or as B.C. 1027?

And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak. 19 And the king said, Is not the hand of a Jo'ab with thee in all this ? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken : for thy servant Jo'ab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid : 20 3 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Jo'ab done this thing: and v my lord is wise, according to the w 7 isdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth. 21 % And the king said unto a Jo'ab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Ab'sa-lom again. 22 And Jo'ab fell to the ground on his face, and 4 bowed himself, and ^thanked the king: and Jo'ab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. 23 So Jo'ab arose and went to ^Ge'shur, and brought Ab'sa- 16m to ^Je-ru'sa-lem. 24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So ; Ab'sa- lom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face. 25 If But in all Is'ra-el there was none to be so much praised as ; Ab'sa-lom for his 2 beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, there- fore he polled it :) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight. 27 And unto a Ab'sa-lom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Ta'- mar: she was a woman of a fair countenance. 28 K So a Ab'sa-lom dwelt two full years in & Je-ru'sa-lem, and saw not the king's face. 29 Therefore Ab'sa-lom sent for c Jo'ab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Jo'ab's field is near mine, and he hath d barley there; go and ^set it on fire. And Ab'sa-lom's servants set the field on fire. 31 Then c Jo'ab arose, and came to a Ab'sa-lom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire? 32 And °Ab'sa-lom answered c Jo'ab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from e Ge'- shiir ? it had been good for me to have been there still: now there- fore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 33 So c Jo'ab came to the king, and ; told him : and when he had called for a Ab'sa-lom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before B.C. 1027- See footnote.

AND it came to pass after this, that a ' ''Ab'sa-lom *pre pared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 And ° >c>d Ab'sa-l6m rose up early, and stood beside the way of the e gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the 'king for ^judgment, f then Ab'sa-lom ''called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou ? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of * Is'ra-el. 3 And "Ab'sa-lom f ^said unto him, See, ? thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 4 a,c,d Ab'sa-lom said moreover, *Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! 5 And it was so, that ^when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 6 And *on this manner did ac ' d Ab'sa-loni to all Is'ra-el that came to the king for judgment: so Ab'sa-lSm *stole the hearts of the men of Is'ra-el. 7 If And it came to pass after 'forty years, that "Ab'sa-lom said unto the ; '"king, n -°l pray thee, let me go and pay my p vow, which I have ? vowed unto the Lord, in TIe'bron. 8 For thy servant vowed a p vow while I abode at s Ge'shur in ?

And the & con- spiracy was strong; for the peo- ple increased continually with c Ab'sa-lom. 13 If And there came a mes- senger to ^Da'vid, saying, The hearts of the men of Is/ra-el are after c Ab'sa-lom. 14 And d Da'vid said unto all his servants that were with him at e Je-ru'sa-lem, Arise, and 7 let us flee; for we shall not else escape from c Ab'sa-lom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

For the Lord "'had appointed to defeat the good counsel of A-hith'o-phel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Ab'sa-lom. 15 If reo Then said "Hu'shai un- to ^Za'dok and to ff A-bI'a-thar the r priests, Thus and thus did "A-hlth'o-phel ^counsel <*Ab'sa- lom and the 'elders of * Is/ra-el; and thus and thus have I coun- selled. 16 w,0 Now therefore send quickly, and tell e Da/vid, say- ing, Lodge not this night v m the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the peo- ple that are with him. 17 Now s J6n'a-than and 'A- him'a-az stayed by w En-ro'- gel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king e Da/vid. 18 Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told d Ab'sa-lom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in u Ba-hu'rim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down. 19 And w the woman took and B.C. 1033?

And he took three Marts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of °Ab'sa-l6rn, while he was yet alive in the midst of the 9 oak. 15 And ten r young men that bare ^Jo'ab's armour compassed about and s smote xAb'sa-lom,and slew him. 16 And ^Jo'ab blew the 'trump- et, and the people returned from pursuing after p Is'ra-el: for Jo'- ab held back the people. 17 And they took °Ab'sa-l6m, and cast him into a great "pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him : and all p Is'ra-el fled every one to his tent. 18 H Now °Ab'sa-lom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a "pillar which is, in the "'king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Ab'sa-lom's 4 place. 19 If Then said x A-him'a-az the B.C. 1023?

Then ^A-him'a-az ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cu'shi. 24 And a Da'vid sat between the two 3 gates: and the ^watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. 25 And the ^watchman cried, and told the c king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tid- ings in his mouth.

And & A-him'a-az answered, When ff Jo'ab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. 30 And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 31 And, behold, Cu'shi came; and Cu'shi said, Tidings, my lord the a king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee. 32 And the king said unto Cu'- shI, Is the young man ; Ab'sa- lom safe ? And Cu'shi an- swered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 33 If A And the a king was much moved, and went up to the ^chamber over the gate, arid '• A wept : and as he went, z thus he said, O my son Ab'sa-lom, my son, my son Ab'sa-lom! would God I had died for thee, O Ab'- sa-lom, my son, my son !

AND it was told a Jo'ab, Be- hold, the 6 king weepeth and c,d moumeth for "Ab'sa-lSm. 2 And the victory that day was turned into ^mourning unto all the people : ; f or the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son. 3 ; And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle. 4 But the & king covered his face, and the king c,d cried with a loud voice, O my son Ab'sa-lom, O Ab'sa-lom, my son, my son! 5 And a,g Jd'ab came into the house to the king, and A,f,7 said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy *wives, and the lives of thy z con- cubines; 6 A, Tn that thou lovest thine ^enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither prin- ces nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Ab'sa-lom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well. 7 A,J Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I n swear by the Lord, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. 8 Then the king arose, and sat in the °gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Is'ra-el had fled every man to his tent. 9 If And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Is/ra-el, saying, The & king saved us out of the hand of our ene- mies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the p Phi-lis'tines ; and now he is fled out of the land for Ab'sa-lom. 10 And ^Ab'sa-lom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in bat- tle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back ? 11 If xYnd king 6 Da'vid sent to *Za'dok and to 3 A-bl'a-thar the 'priests, s saying, Speak unto the 'elders of Ju'dah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house ? seeing the speech of all Is/ra-el is come to the king 1 even to his house. 12 Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: where- fore then are ye the last to bring back the king ? 13 s And say ye to "Am'a-sa, "Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh ? God do so to me, and more also, if w thou be not *cap- tain of the host before me con- tinually in the room of a Jo'ab. 14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of y Ju'dah, even as the heart of one man ; so that they sent this word unto the king, Re- turn thou, and all thy servants. 15 So the king returned, and came to 2 J6r / dan.

''Ge'ra^a/'BtMi'ja-niUe, which lefts of 'Ba-hii'rim, hasted and came down with the men of Ju'dah to meet king- ^Da/vid. 17 And there were a thousand men of e Ben r ja-min with him, and ^Zi'ba the servant of the house of 'Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over ^Jor'dan before the king. 18 And there went over a ferry A boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And ^him'e-I the son of d Ge'ra fell down before the king, as he was come over Jor'dan ; 19 And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did per- versely the day that my lord the king went out of *Je-ru'sa-lem, that the king should take it to his heart. 20 For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, be- hold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Jo'seph to go down to meet my lord the king. 21 But w A-bish'a-I the son of n Zer-u-I'ah answered and said, Shall not ^him'e-i be put to °death for this, because he cursed the Lord's ^anointed ? 22 And ff Da'vid said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zer-u-I'ah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me ? shall there any man be put to death this day in T§'ra-el ? for do not I know that I am this day king over Is'ra-el ? 23 Therefore the ff king said unto c Shim'e-I, ts -*Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. 24 f And "Me-phnVo-sheth the son of 'Saul came down to meet the ^king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace. 25 And it came to pass, when he was come to 'Je-ru'sa-l£m to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore went- est not thou with me, "Me- phTb'o-sheth ? 26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my ^servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go 2 to the king; because thy servant is lame. 27 And he hath "'slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God : do therefore wliat is good in thine eyes. 28 For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table.

And Jo'ab took Am'a-sa by the beard with the right hand to r,s kiss him. 10 But ; Am'a-sa took no heed to the sword that was in Jo'ab's hand: * ,w so he ^ "'smote him therewith in the 3 fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Jo'ab and *A-bish'a-I his brother pur- sued after She'ba the son of Bich'rl. 11 And one of Jo'ab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Jo'ab, and he that is for d Da'vid, let him go after Jo'ab. 12 And ? Am'a-sa wallowed in blood in the midst of the high- way. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Am'a-sa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still. 13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Jo'ab, to pursue after She'ba the son of Bich'ri. 14 If And he went through all the tribes of Is'ra-el unto ^A'bel, and to Beth-ma'a-chah, and all the Be'rites : and they were gath- ered together, and went also after him. 15 And they came and ^be- sieged him in x A'bel of Beth- ma'a-chah, and they cast up a band against the city, and it stood 4 in the trench : and all the people that were with Jo'ab Mat- tered the a wall, to throw it down. 16 If 6,c Then cried a wise d woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto e Jo'ab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee. 17 And when he was come near unto her, the d woman said, Art thou e Jo'ab ? And he an- swered, I am he. Then c she said unto him, Hear the words of thy handmaid. And he an- swered, I do hear. 18 Then she &,c spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, ; They shall surely ask counsel at A'bel : and so they ended the matter. 19 9 I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Is'- ra-el: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Is/ra-el: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord ? 20 And e Jo'ab answered and B.C. 1022?

THEN there was a a ' b - fam- ine in the days of d Da/vid three years, year after year; and Da'vid inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered, f It is for ^Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the GiV- e-on-ites. 2 And the d king called the Gib'- e-on-ites, and said unto them; (now the Gib'e-on-ites were not of the children of Is/ra-el, but of the remnant of the Wrn'or-ites ; and the children of 'Is/ra-el had 'sworn unto them: and ^Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Is/ra-el and Ju'dah.) 3 Wherefore Da/vid said unto the Gib'e-on-ites, What shall I do for you ? and wherewith shall I make the ^'atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord ? 4 And the Gib'e-on-ites said unto him, We will have no sil- ver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house ; neither *for us shalt thou kill any man in Is/ra-el. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you. 5 And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from re- maining in any of the 2 coasts of Is/ra-el, 6 Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'e-ah of Saul, whom the Lord did choose. And the king said, I will give them. 7 But the d king spared z Me- phib'o-sheth, the son of m Jona- than the son of ^Saul, because of the Lord' j i.n, ith that be- tween them, between Da/vid and Jon 'a -than the son of Saul. 8 But the king took the two sons of "Riz'pah the daughter of B.C. 1031?

And Jo'ab and the cap- tains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to *number the people of Is/ra-el. 5 And the} 7 passed over l Jor- dan, and pitched in Ar'6-er, on the right side of the city that 2 lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Ja/zer: 6 Then they came to Gil'e-ad, and to the land of Tah'tini-hod'- shi"; and they came to Dan-ja/- an, and about to m Zi'don, 7 And came to the strong hold of "Tyre, and to all the cities of the °Hl / vites, and of the Ca/- naan-ites: and they went out to the south of Ju'dah, even to 'Be'er-she'ba. 8 So when they had gone through all the land, they came to p Je-ru'sa-lem at the end of nine months and twenty days. 9 And ° Jo'ab gave up the *sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in I§ - ra-el ^eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of ? Ju'dah were ffive hundred thousand men. 10 1f And c Da'vid's 'heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And Da'- vid said unto the Lord, st I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 1 1 For when c Da'vid was up in the morning, the word of the Lord came unto the prophet ^Gad, Da'vid's "seer, saving, 12 Go and say unto Da'vid, Thus saith the Lord, T offer thee "three things) ^choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 13 So *Gad came to c Da'vid, and told him, and said unto him, "Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy *land ? or wilt thou flee three months be- fore thine enemies, while they pursue thee ? or that there be three days' ^pestilence in thy land ? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 14 And Da'vid said unto t Gad.

AND "Hl'ram king of *Tyre & sent his ^servants unto ^Sol'o-mon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: e ior Hl'ram was ever a ; lover of ^Da'vid. 2 And <*Sol'o-mon sent to "Hl'- ram, saying, 3 Thou knowest how that ^Da'- vid my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. 4 But now the Lord my God hath given me A rest on every side, so that there is neither ad- versary nor evil occurrent. 5 And, behold, I purpose to build an *house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto Da/vid my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name. 6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me 7 cedar trees out of *Leb'a-non; and my serv- ants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew tim- ber like unto the ^Si-do'ni-ans. 7 If And it came to pass, when "Hi'ram heard the words of ''Sol'o-mon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed he the Lord this day, which hath given unto Da'vid a "wise son over this great people. 8 And ft Hi'ram sent to ^Sol'o- mon, saying, I have Considered the things which thou sentest to me for : and °1 will do all thy de- sire concerning timber of ? cedar, and concerning timber of ^fir. 9 g My servants shall bring them down from *Leb'a-non unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and 9 thou shalt accom- plish my desire, in giving food for my household. 10 So a Hi'ram "gave d Sol'o- mon ? cedar trees and p fir trees according to all his desire. 11 And Sol'o-mon *gave Hi'- ram twenty thousand 'measures of s wheat for food to his house- hold, and twenty measures of pure J oil: thus gave Sol'o-mon to Hi 'ram year by year. 12 And the Lord gave d S6l'o- mon "wisdom, as he promised him: and there was 7i peace be- tween Hi'ram and Sol'o-mon; and they two made a t,M league together. 13 TJ And king d Sol'o-mon raised a w levy out of all Is'ra-el; arid the levy was thirty thousand men. 14 And he sent them to *Leb'a- non, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Leb'a-non, and two months at B.C. 1014?

My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy 'yoke, I /l will add to your yoke: my father hath s chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with 'scorpions. 12 \ So c Jer-o-b6'am and all the people came to "Re-ho-bo'- am the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day. 13 And the king answered the people roughly, and g forsook the "old men's m counsel that they gave him; 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the r young men, say- ing, My father made your 'yoke heavy, and I "will add to your yoke: my father also s chastised you with whips, but I will chas- tise you with 'scorpions. 15 Wherefore the king heark- ened not unto the people; r for Hhe cause was from the w Lord, that he might perform his z say- ing, which the Lord spake by *'A-hI'jah the ShI'lo-nlte unto Jer-o-bo'arn the son of Ne'bat. 16 If So when all *Is'ra-ei saw that the kino- hearkened not unto them, the 2 people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in Da'vid ? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jes'se: fl to your tents, O Is'ra-el: now see to thine- own house, Da'vid. So Is'ra-el departed unto their tents. 17 But as for the children of Is'ra-el which dwelt in the cities of Jii'dah, "Re-ho-bo'am reigned over them. 18 Then king *Re-ho-bo'am sent c A-do'ram, who was over the 2td ' tribute; and all Is'ra-el 'stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Re-ho- bo'am made speed to get him up to his chariot, to g B.ee to h Je- ru'sa-lem. 19 So * Is'ra-el rebelled against the house of Da'vid unto this day. 20 *\\ And it came to pass, when all Is'ra-el heard that * Jer-o-bo'- am ^\as come again, that they sent and called him unto the con- gregation, and made him king over all Is'ra-el: there was none that followed the house of Da'- vid, but the tribe of Jti'dah only. 21 H 'And when & Re-ho-bo'am was come to ^Je-ru'sa-lem, he assembled all the house of Jti'- dah, with the tribe of *Ben'ja- mm, an hundred and fourscore chosen men, which were war- riors, to fight against the house of * Is'ra-el, to bring the king- dom again to Re-ho-bo'am the son of 'Sol'o-mon.

But A-hi'jah could ''not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age. 5 If And the Lord u said unto c A-hi'jah, Behold, the wife of *Jer-o-bo'am cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son ; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall A: feign herself to be another woman. 6 And it was so, when A-hl'jah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that be said, Come in, thou wife of Jer- o-bo'am; why ^feignest thou thy- self to be another ? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings. 7 Go, tell *Jer-o-bo'am, Thus y saith the Lord God of Is'- ra-el, Forasmuch as 'I exalted thee from among the people, and m made thee prince over my people Is/ra-el, 8 And z rent the kingdom away from the house of Da'vid, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant Da'vid, who ?i kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes ; 9 But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and °made thee other gods, and molten images, to pro- voke me to p anger, and hast cast me behind thy back : 10 Therefore, behold, I will bring q evi\ upon the house of *Jer-o-b6'am, and will cut off from Jer-o-bo'am mini that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Is/- ra-el, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jer-o- bo'am, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone. 11 *Him that dieth of '"Jer-o- bo'am in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat : for the Lord ha,th spoken it. 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die, 13 And all Is/ra-el shall r mourn for him, and bury him: for 5 he only of * Jer-o-bo'am shall come to the *grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the Lord God of Is/ra-el in the house of Jer-o-bo'am. 14 Moreover the Lord shall raise him up a king over d W- ra-el, who shall cut off the house of * Jer-o-bo'am that day: but what ? even now. 15 For the Lord shall smite "Is/ra-el, as a v reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Is/ra-el out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the 2 river, because they have made their 3,M, groves, provoking the Lord to p anger. 16 x\nd he shall give x Is/ra-el up because of the sins of n * y Jer- o-bo'am, who did sin, and who made Is/ra-el to sin.

(Now O-ba-di'ah e i eared the Lord greatly: 4 For it w T as so, when /,!7 Jez'e- bel 7M cut off the prophets of the Lord, that O-ba-di'ah 'took an hundred prophets, and A,z hid them by fifty in a m cave, and fed them with bread and water.) 5 And 6 A'hab said unto O-ba- dl'ah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 6 So they divided the land be- tween them to pass throughout it : & A'hab went one way by him- self, and O-ba-di'ah went an- other way by himself. 7 If And as O-ba-di'ah was in the way, behold, °E-li'jah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord E-li'jah ? 8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, a E-li'- jah is here. 9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest de- liver thy servant into the hand of A'hab, to slay me ? 10 As the Lord thy God liveth, *there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11 And now thou sayest, Go,tell thy lord, Behold, a E-li'jah is here. 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from a thee, that the 1 Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell 6 A'hab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me : but I thy servant fear the Lord from my ra youth. 13 Was it not told my lord what 1 Mid when ;> ^ Jez'e-bel ft,i slew the prophets of the Lord, how I WHird an hundred men of the Lord's prophets by fifty in a m cave, and fed them with bread and water ? 14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, a E-li'jah is here : and he shall slay me. 15 And a E-lI'jah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. 16 So O-ba-di'ah went to meet & A'hab, and told him: and A'hab went to meet E-ll'jah. 17 If And it came to pass, when b A'hab saw E-ll'jah, that A'hab °said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Is'ra-el ? 18 And he ^answered, I have not troubled Is/ra-el; ff but 6 thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the command- ments of the Lord, and thou hast followed r Ba'al-im. 19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Is'ra-el unto mount s Car'mel, and the *propll- ets of r Ba'al four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the 2 ] "groves four hundred, which eat at Jez'e-bel's table. 20 So & A'hab sent unto all the children of Is'ra-el, and gath- ered the prophets together unto mount s Car'mel. 21 If And a E-li'jah came unto all the people, and said, How long ^halt ye between two opin- B.C. 906?

And the people answered him not a word. 22 Then said a E-ll'jah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Ba/- al's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for them- selves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: 24 And ^call ye on the name of your gods, and a I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that ^answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 25 And E-li'jah said unto the prophets of r Ba'al, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under. 26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and 2 called on the name of a Ba/al from morning even until noon, saying, O Ba'al, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped 3 upon the & altar which was made. 27 And it came to pass at noon, that c E-li'jah ■'•mocked them, and said, d Cry aloud: for he is a god ; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or perad venture he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 28 And they cried aloud, and e cut themselves after their man- t MOCKING.

CHAPTER 20 Ben-hadad besieges Samaria. 13 Under direction of a prophet, the Syrians are slain. 22 The next year the Syrians come up against Ahab to Aphek; 28 but are again smitten. 31 The Syrians hum- bling themselves, Ahab sends Ben-hadad aivay with a covenant. 35 The prophet by a parable denounces God's judgment against Ahab. AND *Ben-ha'dad the king of fl Syr'i-a gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and ^horses, and c chariots: and he went up and ^besieged f Sa- ma/ri-a, and warred against it. 2 And *he sent 'messengers to ^A'hab king of ft I§'ra-el into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-ha/dad, 3 Thy ^silver and thy 'gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine. 4 And the king of Is/ra-el an- swered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have. 5 And the 'messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-ha'dad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, M Thou shalt deliver me thy ^silver, and thy 'gold, and thy wives, and thy children; 6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, thai whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away. 7 Then, the king of * Is/ra-el '"called all the Mders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seek- eth mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not. 8 And all the "elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent. 9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of *Ben-ha'dad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the 'messengers departed, and brought him word again. 10 And Ben-ha'dad sent unto him, and °said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Sa-ma'ri-a shall suffice for handful s for all the people that follow me. 11 And the king of Is/ra-el an- swered and said, Tell him, p?r Let not him that girdeth on his 1 harness boast himself as he that putteth it off. 12 And it came to pass, when * Ben-ha'dad heard this mes- sage, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city. 13 If And, behold, there came a s prophet unto ^A'hab king of * Is/ra-el, saying, w Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude ? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this B.C. 901?

And he said, "Thus saith the Lord, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou. 15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the ^people, even all the children of Is/ra-el, being seven thousand. 16 And they went out at noon. But *Ben-ha/dad was drinking himself w ' * drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him. 17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and *Ben-ha/dad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of e Sa-ma'n-a. 18 And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for ^war, take them alive. 19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the v army which followed them. 20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syr'i-ans fled; and Is/ra-el pursued them: and *Ben-ha'dad the king of fl Syr'- i-a escaped on an horse with the horsemen. 21 And the king of Is/ra-el went out, and smote the 6 horses and c chariots, and slew the Syr'i-ans with a great slaughter. 22 \ And the s prophet came to the king of Is/ra-el, and said un- to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of G Syr'i-a will come up against thee. 23 And the servants of the kino- of Syr'i-a said unto him, z Their gods are gods of the hills; there- fore they were stronger than we ; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. 24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out his place, and put a ' of captains in their rooms : 25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so. 26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that *Ben- ha/dad c numbered the Syr'i-ans, and went up to A'phek, to fight against Is/ra-el. 27 x\nd the children of d Is/ra- el were mumbered, and were 2 all present, and went against them: and the children of Is/- ra-el pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syr'i-ans filled the country. 28 If And there came a man of God, and spake unto the e king of Is/ra-el, and said, Thus saith the ; Lord, Because the Syr'i-ans have said, ^The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will h I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 29 And they pitched one over against the other l seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of d Is/ra-el slew of the Syr'i-ans an hundred thou- sand footmen in one day. 30 But the rest fled to A'phek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left.

And 7 he said, Is he yet alive ? he is my '"brother. 33 Now the men Mid diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy "■brother *Ben-ha'dad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-ha/dad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 34 And "Ben-ha'dad said unto him, The cities, which my fa- ther took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in n Da-mas'cus, as my father made in °Sa-ma'- ri-a. Then said e A'hab, I will send thee away with this lh * cove- nant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. 35 If And a certain man of the r,s sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him. 36 Then said he unto him, Be- cause thou z hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a w lion shall slay thee. And u as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him. 37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded liini. 38 So the '"prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with 4> ^ashes upon his face. 39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he y said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, be- hold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he Avas gone. And the king of Is'ra-el said un- to him, 2 So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it. 41 And he hasted, and took the 5 ' ^ashes away from his face; and the king of Is'ra-el discerned him that he was of the ^'proph- ets. 42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because fl thou 6 hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I ^appointed to utter destruction, therefore d ihy life shall go for his life, and thy peo- ple for his people. 43 And the king of Is'ra-el went to his house e heavy and displeased, and came to Sa-ma'- ri-a.

And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5 % But 7 'Jez'e-bel his wife came to him, and said unto him.

And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall de- liver it into the hand of the king. 7 And e Je-hosh'a-phat said, Is there not here a p prophet of the Lord besides, that we might en- quire of him ? 8 And the A king of Is/ra-el said unto e Je-hosh'a-phat, q There is yet one man, Mi-ca'iah the son of Im'lah, by whom we may en- quire of the Lord: but I mate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.

And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and ''-"rent them in two pieces. 13 d He took up also the '"man- tle of "E-li'jah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of l Jor'dan; 14 And d he took the "'mantle of a E-li / jah that fell from him, and smote the 'waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of E-ll'- jah ? and when he also had smit- ten the waters, they n parted hither and thither: and E-ll'sha went over. 15 And when the t,7 'sons of the prophets which were to view at /c Jer'i-cho saw him, they said, The spirit of E-li'jah doth rest on E-ll'sha. And they came to meet him, and w bowed them- selves to the ground before him. 1G And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the 1 Spirit of' the Lord hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send. 17 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. 18 And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at *Jer'i- cho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not ? 19 Tf And the men of the city said unto E-li'sha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren. 20 And he said, Bring me a new w cruse, and put *salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these ^waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land. 22 So the ^waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of E-ll'sha which he spake. 23 \ And d he went up from thence unto TSeth'-el : and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little ^children out of the city, and 2 ' tt mocked him, and & said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24 And c he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord.

And one of the king of Is/ra-el's servants an- swered and said, Here is 'E-li'- sha the son of M Sha/phat, which poured water on the hands of E-lI'jah. 12 And e Je-hSsh'a-phat said, The *\vord of the Lord is with him. So the °king of Is/ra-el and Je-hosh'a-phat and the king of E'dom went down to him. 13 And 'E-H'sha w said unto the king of Is/ra-el, What have I to do with thee ? get thee to the ^prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Is/ra-el said unto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three *kings to- gether, to deliver them into the hand of *Mo'ab. 14 And *E-li'sha said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of e Je-hosh'a-phat the king of * Ju'- dah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 15 But now bring me a min- strel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord "came upon him. 16 And v he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. 17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: ^ z he will deliver the a Mo / ab-Ites also into your hand. 19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and' stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. 20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offer- ing was offered that, behold, Hhere came water by the way of E'dom, and the country was filled with water. 21 If And when all the a Mo'ab- Ites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on c armour, and upward, and stood in the border. 22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone up- on the water, and the Mo'ab-Ites saw the water on the other side as red as blood : 23 And they said, This is blood : the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, a Mo'ab, to the ^spoil. 24 And when they came to the camp of Is/ra-el, the Is/ra-el-ites rose up and smote the a M6'ab- Ites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Mo'ab-Ites, even in their country. 25 And ° ,& they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in '''Kir-har'a-seth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it. 26 If And when the king of Mo'- ab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him B.C. 895?

CHAPTER 4 Elisha multiplies the widow's oil. 8 He promises a son to the good Shunammite. 18 He restores her son to life. 38 At Gilgal he heals the deadly pottage. 42 He satisfies a hundred men with twenty loaves. 1VTOW there cried a certain 1A °* & woman of the wives of the sons of the c prophets unto rf E-ll'sha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did e fear the Lord: and the 'creditor is come to take unto him my two ^sons to be ^bondmen. 2 And ^E-li'sha *said unto her, What shall I do for thee ? tell me, what hast thou in the house ? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house, save a pot of 'oil. 3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those ves- sels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the ves- sels to her; and *she poured out. 6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the 7 oil stayed. 7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go sell the 'oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. 8 Tf And it fell on a day, that d E-lI'sha passed to ^Shu'nem, where was a great "woman ; and she ^constrained 0, %im to eat bread. iVnd so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 9 And she said unto her hus- band, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us con- tinually. 10 Let us make a little 9 cham- ber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. 11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the ^chamber, and lay there. 12 And he said to*Ge-ha/zI his servant, Call this r Shu'nam- mite.

And he said to x a lad, Carry him to his mother. 20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. 21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. 22 And she called unto her hus- band, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the y asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day ? it is nei- ther 2 new moon, nor a sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. 24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount & Car'- mel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to *Ge-ha'zI his servant, Behold, yonder is that c Sbu'nam-mite : 26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee ? is it well with thv husband? is itwell with the child ? And she answered, d It is well. 27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but *Ge- ha'zi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone ; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord | hath hid it from me, and hath I not told me. 28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord ? did I not say, Do not deceive me ? 29 Then he said to *Ge-ha/zi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy i way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any i salute thee, answer him not \ again : and lay my staff upon | the face of the child. | 30 And the mother of the child | said, As the Lord liveth, and as | thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and fol- lowed her. 31 And *Ge-ha'zi passed on be- fore them, and laid the staff up- on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hear- ing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked. 32 And when ^E-H'sha was come into the house, behold, the child was ''"dead, and laid upon his bed. 33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and ; prayed unto the Lord. 34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child ; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pot- tage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. 41 But he said, Then bring meal. And e he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat.

CHAPTER 5 Naaman's leprosy. 8 Elisha sends him to Jordan, and he is healed. 15 He refuses Naaman's gifts. 20 Gehazi by deception obtains a gift, and is smitten with leprosy. NOW "Na/a-man, ^captain of the host of the king of c Syr'i-a, was a great man with his master, and honourable, be- cause by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syr'i-a : he was also a mighty man in valour, but he ivas sl d \eper. 2 And the Syr'I-ans had gone out by companies, and had brought away e captive out of the land of Is/ra-el a little ; maid; and ^she waited on Na/a-man's wife. 3 And '• ^she said unto her mis- tress, Would God my lord were with the h - 'prophet that is in j Sa-ma/ri-a! for he would re- cover him of his ^leprosy. 4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Is/ra--el. 5 And the king of c Syr'i-a said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Is/ra-el. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of ^silver, and six thousand pieces of *gold, and ten changes of m raiment. 6 And he brought the letter to the king of Is/ra-el, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent a Na/a~man my servant to thee, n th&t thou mayest recover him of his ^leprosy. 7 And it came to pass, when the kins; of Is/ra-el had read the let- B.C. 891?

So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the °prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it ? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean ? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself & seven times in c J6r'dan, according to the say- ing of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was Mean. 15 If And he returned to the a man of God, he and all his com- pany, and came, and stood be- fore him :^ and he said, Behold, e,7 now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Is'ra-el: 'mow therefore, I pray thee, take a 2,/J blessing of thy servant. 16 But he said, l As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take Ht; but he refused. 17 And J 'Na'a-man said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two ^mules' burden of earth ? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither z burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord. 18 In this thing the Lord par- don thy servant, that when my master goeth into the "mouse of Rim'mon to ^worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rim'- mon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rim'mon, the Lord pardon thy servant in this thing. 19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. 20 II But °Ge-ha'zi, the servant of a E-li'sha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared 7 Na'a-man this Syr'i-an, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, l as the Lord lk^th, V I will run after him, and 9 take somewhat of him. 21 So °^Ge-ha'zi followed after 7 Na'a-man.

AND the c sons of the proph- ets said unto 6 E-li"'sha, Behold now, the c place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us. 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto ^Jor'dan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. 3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy serv- ants. And he answered, I will go. 4 So he went with them. And when they came to ^Jor'dan, they cut down wood. 5 But as one was felling a beam, the e ax head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. 6 And the *man of God said, Where fell it ? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the ^iron A did swim. 7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it. 8 If Then the king of Syr'i-a warred against * Is/ra-el, and took counsel with his servants, saving, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 9 And the 6 man of God sent unto the 'king of *Is/ra-el, say- ing, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syr'i-ans are come down. 10 And the 'king of Is/ra-el sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syr'i-a was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Is/ra-el ? 12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but A 'E-lI'sha, the prophet that is in Is/ra-el, telleth the king of Is/- ra-el the words that thou speak- est in thy bedchamber. 13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him.

And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do ? 16 And he answered) °Fear not : for ^they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And & E-H'sha "prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord ^opened the eyes of the young man; and he r saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and s chariots of fire round about E-li'sha. 18 And when they came down to him, 6 E-li'sha "prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blind- ness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of E-ll'sha. 19 And E-ll'sha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to 7 Sa-ma/ri-a. 20 And it came to pass, when they were come into ? Sa-ma/ri-a, that ^E-lI'sha said, Lord, open i the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Sa-ma'ri-a. 21 And the king of Is/ra-el said unto E-ll'sha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them ? shall I smite them ? 22 And he answered, w Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow ? v set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 23 And w he prepared great pro- vision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of ^Syr'i-a came no more into the land of Is/ra-el. 24 If And it came to pass after this, that ^Ben-ha'dad king of ^vr'i-a gathered all his ^host, and went up, and 2 besieged a Sa- raa'ri-a. 25 And there was a great ''fam- ine in "Sa-ma'ri-a: and, behold, they c besieged it, until an ^ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of ^silver, and the fourth part of a ''cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. 26 1f And as the *king of Isf- ra-el was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city. 13 And one of his servants an- swered and *said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the ^horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Is/ra-el that are left in it : behold, I say, they are even as all the rrrultitude of the Is'ra-el-ites that are consumed :) and let us send and see. 14 They took therefore two 2 chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syri- ans, saying, Go and see. 15 And they went after them unto ^Jor'dan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syr'i-ans had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king. 16 And^ the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syr'- i-ans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the w word of the Lord. 17 If And the king appointed the 3 lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the *gate : and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, w as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him. 18 And w \t came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a meas- ure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Sa-ma'ri-a: 19 And that 3 lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 20 And w so it fell out unto him : for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.

And Ge-ha/zi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom ^E-li'sha restored to life. 6 And when the ^king asked the woman, she told him.

And me an- swered, Because T know the evil that "thou wilt do unto the children of Is'ra-el : their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their "women with child. 13 And p Haz'a-el said, But what, is thy servant a ™dog, that he should do this great thing ? And E-ll'sha answered, The Lord hath ^shewed me that thou shalt be king over °Syr'i-a. 14 So he departed from E-lI'- sha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said E-li'sha to thee ?
