And JacobH3290 calledH7121 unto his sonsH1121, and saidH559, Gather yourselves togetherH622, that I may tellH5046 you that which shall befallH7122 you in the lastH319 daysH3117.
Gather yourselves togetherH6908, and hearH8085, ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290; and hearkenH8085 unto IsraelH3478 your fatherH1.
ReubenH7205, thou art my firstbornH1060, my mightH3581, and the beginningH7225 of my strengthH202, the excellencyH3499 of dignityH7613, and the excellencyH3499 of powerH5794:
UnstableH6349 as waterH4325, thou shalt not excelH3498; because thou wentest upH5927 to thy father'sH1 bedH4904; then defiledst thouH2490 it: he went upH5927 to my couchH3326. {thou shalt…: Heb. do not thou excel} {he went…: or, my couch is gone}
SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878 are brethrenH251; instrumentsH3627 of crueltyH2555 are in their habitationsH4380. {instruments…: or, their swords are weapons of violence}
O my soulH5315, comeH935 not thou into their secretH5475; unto their assemblyH6951, mine honourH3519, be not thou unitedH3161: for in their angerH639 they slewH2026 a manH376, and in their selfwillH7522 they digged downH6131 a wallH7794. {digged…: or, houghed oxen}
CursedH779 be their angerH639, for it was fierceH5794; and their wrathH5678, for it was cruelH7185: I will divideH2505 them in JacobH3290, and scatterH6327 them in IsraelH3478.
JudahH3063, thou art he whom thy brethrenH251 shall praiseH3034: thy handH3027 shall be in the neckH6203 of thine enemiesH341; thy father'sH1 childrenH1121 shall bow downH7812 before thee.
JudahH3063 is a lion'sH738 whelpH1482: from the preyH2964, my sonH1121, thou art gone upH5927: he stooped downH3766, he couchedH7257 as a lionH738, and as an old lionH3833; who shall rouse him upH6965?
The sceptreH7626 shall not departH5493 from JudahH3063, nor a lawgiverH2710 from between his feetH7272, untilH3588 ShilohH7886 comeH935; and unto him shall the gatheringH3349 of the peopleH5971 be.
BindingH631 his foalH5895 unto the vineH1612, and his ass'sH860 coltH1121 unto the choice vineH8321; he washedH3526 his garmentsH3830 in wineH3196, and his clothesH5497 in the bloodH1818 of grapesH6025:
His eyesH5869 shall be redH2447 with wineH3196, and his teethH8127 whiteH3836 with milkH2461.
ZebulunH2074 shall dwellH7931 at the havenH2348 of the seaH3220; and he shall be for an havenH2348 of shipsH591; and his borderH3411 shall be unto ZidonH6721.
IssacharH3485 is a strongH1634 assH2543 couching downH7257 between two burdensH4942:
And he sawH7200 that restH4496 was goodH2896, and the landH776 that it was pleasantH5276; and bowedH5186 his shoulderH7926 to bearH5445, and became a servantH5647 unto tributeH4522.
DanH1835 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, as oneH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478.
DanH1835 shall be a serpentH5175 by the wayH1870, an adderH8207 in the pathH734, that bitethH5391 the horseH5483 heelsH6119, so that his riderH7392 shall fallH5307 backwardH268. {an adder: Heb. an arrow-snake}
I have waited forH6960 thy salvationH3444, O LORDH3068.
GadH1410, a troopH1416 shall overcomeH1464 him: but he shall overcomeH1464 at the lastH6119.
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
JosephH3130 is a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121, even a fruitfulH6509 boughH1121 by a wellH5869; whose branchesH1323 runH6805 over the wallH7791: {branches: Heb. daughters}
The archersH1167+H2671 have sorely grieved himH4843, and shotH7232 at him, and hated himH7852:
But his bowH7198 abodeH3427 in strengthH386, and the armsH2220 of his handsH3027 were made strongH6339 by the handsH3027 of the mightyH46 God of JacobH3290; (from thence is the shepherdH7462, the stoneH68 of IsraelH3478:)
Even by the GodH410 of thy fatherH1, who shall helpH5826 thee; and byH854 the AlmightyH7706, who shall blessH1288 thee with blessingsH1293 of heavenH8064 aboveH5920, blessingsH1293 of the deepH8415 that liethH7257 under, blessingsH1293 of the breastsH7699, and of the wombH7356:
The blessingsH1293 of thy fatherH1 have prevailedH1396 above the blessingsH1293 of my progenitorsH2029 unto the utmost boundH8379 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389: they shall be on the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and on the crown of the headH6936 of him that was separateH5139 from his brethrenH251.
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
All these are the twelveH6240+H8147 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: and this is it that their fatherH1 spakeH1696 unto them, and blessedH1288 them; everyH834 oneH376 according to his blessingH1293 he blessedH1288 them.
And he chargedH6680 them, and saidH559 unto them, I am to be gatheredH622 unto my peopleH5971: buryH6912 me with my fathersH1 in the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850,
In the caveH4631 that is in the fieldH7704 of MachpelahH4375, which is beforeH6440 MamreH4471, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, which AbrahamH85 boughtH7069 with the fieldH7704 of EphronH6085 the HittiteH2850 for a possessionH272 of a buryingplaceH6913.
There they buriedH6912 AbrahamH85 and SarahH8283 his wifeH802; there they buriedH6912 IsaacH3327 and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802; and there I buriedH6912 LeahH3812.
The purchaseH4735 of the fieldH7704 and of the caveH4631 that is therein was from the childrenH1121 of HethH2845.
And when JacobH3290 had made an endH3615 of commandingH6680 his sonsH1121, he gathered upH622 his feetH7272 into the bedH4296, and yielded up the ghostH1478, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971.

And she conceivedH2029 again, and bareH3205 a sonH1121: and she saidH559, NowH6471 will I praiseH3034 the LORDH3068: therefore she calledH7121 his nameH8034 JudahH3063; and leftH5975 bearingH3205. {Judah: that is, Praise} {left…: Heb. stood from bearing}
Those that were numberedH6485 of them, even of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, were threescore and fourteenH7657+H702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And it came to pass, when they brought outH3318 those kingsH4428 unto JoshuaH3091, that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto the captainsH7101 of the menH582 of warH4421 which wentH1980 with him, Come nearH7126, putH7760 your feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of these kingsH4428. And they came nearH7126, and putH7760 their feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of them.
Let peopleH5971 serveH5647 thee, and nationsH3816 bow downH7812 to thee: beH1933 lordH1376 over thy brethrenH251, and let thy mother'sH517 sonsH1121 bow downH7812 to thee: cursedH779 be every one that cursethH779 thee, and blessedH1288 be he that blessethH1288 thee.
Then JudahH3063 came nearH5066 unto him, and saidH559, OhH994 my lordH113, let thy servantH5650, I pray thee, speakH1696 a wordH1697 in my lord'sH113 earsH241, and let not thine angerH639 burnH2734 against thy servantH5650: for thou art even as PharaohH6547.
My lordH113 askedH7592 his servantsH5650, sayingH559, HaveH3426 ye a fatherH1, or a brotherH251?
And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, We haveH3426 a fatherH1, an old manH2205, and a childH3206 of his old ageH2208, a little oneH6996; and his brotherH251 is deadH4191, and he alone is leftH3498 of his motherH517, and his fatherH1 lovethH157 him.
And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, Bring him downH3381 unto me, that I may setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon him.
And we saidH559 unto my lordH113, The ladH5288 cannotH3201 leaveH5800 his fatherH1: for if he should leaveH5800 his fatherH1, his father would dieH4191.
And thou saidstH559 unto thy servantsH5650, ExceptH3808 your youngestH6996 brotherH251 come downH3381 with you, ye shall seeH7200+H3254 my faceH6440 no moreH7200+H3254.
And it came to pass when we came upH5927 unto thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, we toldH5046 him the wordsH1697 of my lordH113.
And our fatherH1 saidH559, Go againH7725, and buyH7666 us a littleH4592 foodH400.
And we saidH559, We cannotH3201 go downH3381: if our youngestH6996 brotherH251 beH3426 with us, then will we go downH3381: for we mayH3201 not seeH7200 the man'sH376 faceH6440, exceptH369 our youngestH6996 brotherH251 be with us.
And thy servantH5650 my fatherH1 saidH559 unto us, Ye knowH3045 that my wifeH802 bareH3205 me twoH8147 sons:
And the oneH259 went outH3318 from me, and I saidH559, SurelyH2963 he is torn in piecesH2963; and I saw himH7200 not sinceH2008:
And if ye takeH3947 this also fromH5973 meH6440, and mischiefH611 befall himH7136, ye shall bring downH3381 my gray hairsH7872 with sorrowH7451 to the graveH7585.
Now therefore when I comeH935 to thy servantH5650 my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with us; seeing that his lifeH5315 is bound upH7194 in the lad's lifeH5315;
It shall come to pass, when he seethH7200 that the ladH5288 is not with us, that he will dieH4191: and thy servantsH5650 shall bring downH3381 the gray hairsH7872 of thy servantH5650 our fatherH1 with sorrowH3015 to the graveH7585.
For thy servantH5650 became suretyH6148 for the ladH5288 untoH5973 my fatherH1, sayingH559, If I bringH935 him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blameH2398 to my fatherH1 for everH3117.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servantH5650 abideH3427 instead of the ladH5288 a bondmanH5650 to my lordH113; and let the ladH5288 go upH5927 with his brethrenH251.
For howH349 shall I go upH5927 to my fatherH1, and the ladH5288 be not with me? lest peradventure I seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall come onH4672 my fatherH1. {come…: Heb. find my father}
In the firstH7223 place wentH5265 the standardH1714 of the campH4264 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 according to their armiesH6635: and over his host was NahshonH5177 the sonH1121 of AmminadabH5992.
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341, that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.
For, behold, we were bindingH481+H8432 sheavesH485 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, my sheafH485 aroseH6965, and also stood uprightH5324; and, behold, your sheavesH485 stood round aboutH5437, and made obeisanceH7812 to my sheafH485.
And his brethrenH251 saidH559 to him, Shalt thou indeedH4427 reignH4427 over us? or shalt thou indeedH4910 have dominionH4910 over us? And they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254 for his dreamsH2472, and for his wordsH1697.
And he dreamedH2492 yet anotherH312 dreamH2472, and toldH5608 it his brethrenH251, and saidH559, Behold, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 more; and, behold, the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 and the elevenH6240+H259 starsH3556 made obeisanceH7812 to me.
And he toldH5608 it to his fatherH1, and to his brethrenH251: and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 him, and saidH559 unto him, What is this dreamH2472 that thou hast dreamedH2492? Shall I and thy motherH517 and thy brethrenH251 indeedH935 comeH935 to bow downH7812 ourselves to thee to the earthH776?
And the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063; ErH6147, and OnanH209, and ShelahH7956, and PharezH6557, and ZerahH2226: but ErH6147 and OnanH209 diedH4191 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. And the sonsH1121 of PharezH6557 were HezronH2696 and HamulH2538.
These are the familiesH4940 of JudahH3063 according to those that were numberedH6485 of them, threescore and sixteenH7657+H8337 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967.
Whiles they seeH2372 vanityH7723 unto thee, whiles they divineH7080 a lieH3577 unto thee, to bringH5414 thee upon the necksH6677 of them that are slainH2491, of the wickedH7563, whose dayH3117 is comeH935, whenH6256 their iniquityH5771 shall have an endH7093.
And JosephH3130 was the governorH7989 over the landH776, and he it was that soldH7666 to all the peopleH5971 of the landH776: and Joseph'sH3130 brethrenH251 cameH935, and bowed downH7812 themselves before him with their facesH639 to the earthH776.
And this is the blessing of JudahH3063: and he saidH559, HearH8085, LORDH3068, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, and bringH935 him unto his peopleH5971: let his handsH3027 be sufficientH7227 for him; and be thou an helpH5828 to him from his enemiesH6862.
Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of JoshuaH3091 it came to pass, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 askedH7592 the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Who shall go upH5927 for us against the CanaanitesH3669 firstH8462, to fightH3898 against them?
So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and kingH4428 DavidH1732 madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
For JudahH3063 prevailedH1396 above his brethrenH251, and of him came the chief rulerH5057; but the birthrightH1062 was Joseph'sH3130:) {chief…: or, prince}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go upH5927: behold, I have deliveredH5414 the landH776 into his handH3027.
To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, A PsalmH4210 or SongH7892 of AsaphH623. In JudahH3063 is GodH430 knownH3045: his nameH8034 is greatH1419 in IsraelH3478. {of: or, for}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 aroseH6965, and went upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and askedH7592 counsel of GodH430, and saidH559, WhichH4310 of us shall go upH5927 firstH8462 to the battleH4421 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144? And the LORDH3068 saidH559, JudahH3063 shall go up firstH8462.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
And JoabH3097 gave upH5414 the sumH4557 of the numberH4662 of the peopleH5971 unto the kingH4428: and there were in IsraelH3478 eightH8083 hundredH3967 thousandH505 valiantH2428 menH376+H381 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; and the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiveH2568 hundredH3967 thousandH505 menH376.
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 was kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478.
And these were the princesH8269 which he had; AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, {priest: or, chief officer}
ElihorephH456 and AhiahH281, the sonsH1121 of ShishaH7894, scribesH5608; JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286, the recorderH2142. {scribes: or, secretaries} {recorder: or, remembrancer}
And BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 were the priestsH3548:
And AzariahH5838 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was over the officersH5324: and ZabudH2071 the sonH1121 of NathanH5416 was principal officerH3548, and the king'sH4428 friendH7463:
And AhisharH301 was over the householdH1004: and AdoniramH141 the sonH1121 of AbdaH5653 was over the tributeH4522. {tribute: or, levy}
And SolomonH8010 had twelveH8147+H6240 officersH5324 over all IsraelH3478, which provided victualsH3557 for the kingH4428 and his householdH1004: each manH259 his monthH2320 in a yearH8141 made provisionH3557.
And these are their namesH8034: The son of HurH1133, in mountH2022 EphraimH669: {The son…: or, Benhur}
The son of DekarH1128+H1857, in MakazH4739, and in ShaalbimH8169, and BethshemeshH1053, and ElonbethhananH358: {The son…: or, BenDekar}
The son of HesedH1136+H2618, in ArubothH700; to him pertained SochohH7755, and all the landH776 of HepherH2660: {The son…: or, BenHeseb}
The son of AbinadabH1125, in all the regionH5299 of DorH1756; which had TaphathH2955 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802: {The son…: or, BenaBinadab}
BaanaH1195 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286; to him pertained TaanachH8590 and MegiddoH4023, and all BethsheanH1052, which is byH681 ZartanahH6891 beneath JezreelH3157, from BethsheanH1052 to AbelmeholahH65, even unto the place that is beyondH5676 JokneamH3361:
The son of GeberH1127, in RamothgileadH1568+H7433; to him pertained the townsH2333 of JairH2971 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, which are in GileadH1568; to him also pertained the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, which is in BashanH1316, threescoreH8346 greatH1419 citiesH5892 with wallsH2346 and brasenH5178 barsH1280: {The son…: or, BenGeber}
AhinadabH292 the sonH1121 of IddoH5714 had MahanaimH4266: {Mahanaim: or, to Mahanaim}
AhimaazH290 was in NaphtaliH5321; he also tookH3947 BasmathH1315 the daughterH1323 of SolomonH8010 to wifeH802:
BaanahH1195 the sonH1121 of HushaiH2365 was in AsherH836 and in AlothH1175:
JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of ParuahH6515, in IssacharH3485:
ShimeiH8096 the sonH1121 of ElahH414, in BenjaminH1144:
GeberH1398 the sonH1121 of UriH221 was in the countryH776 of GileadH1568, in the countryH776 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316; and he was the onlyH259 officerH5333 which was in the landH776.
JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 were manyH7227, as the sandH2344 which is by the seaH3220 in multitudeH7230, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354, and making merryH8056.
And SolomonH8010 reignedH4910 over all kingdomsH4467 from the riverH5104 unto the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, and unto the borderH1366 of EgyptH4714: they broughtH5066 presentsH4503, and servedH5647 SolomonH8010 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And Solomon'sH8010 provisionH3899 for oneH259 dayH3117 was thirtyH7970 measuresH3734 of fine flourH5560, and threescoreH8346 measuresH3734 of mealH7058, {provision: Heb. bread} {measures: Heb. cors}
TenH6235 fatH1277 oxenH1241, and twentyH6242 oxenH1241 out of the pasturesH7471, and an hundredH3967 sheepH6629, beside hartsH354, and roebucksH6643, and fallowdeerH3180, and fattedH75 fowlH1257.
For he had dominionH7287 over all the region on this sideH5676 the riverH5104, from TiphsahH8607 even to AzzahH5804, over all the kingsH4428 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and he had peaceH7965 on all sidesH5650+H5676 round aboutH5439 him.
And JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 safelyH983, every manH376 under his vineH1612 and under his fig treeH8384, from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884, all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {safely: Heb. confidently}
And SolomonH8010 had fortyH705 thousandH505 stallsH723 of horsesH5483 for his chariotsH4817, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571.
And those officersH5324 provided victualH3557 for kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and for all that cameH7131 unto kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 tableH7979, every manH376 in his monthH2320: they lackedH5737 nothingH1697.
BarleyH8184 also and strawH8401 for the horsesH5483 and dromedariesH7409 broughtH935 they unto the placeH4725 where the officers were, every manH376 according to his chargeH4941. {dromedaries: or, mules, or, swift beasts}
And GodH430 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 wisdomH2451 and understandingH8394 exceedingH3966 muchH7235, and largenessH7341 of heartH3820, even as the sandH2344 that is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193.
And Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451 excelledH7235 the wisdomH2451 of all the childrenH1121 of the east countryH6924, and all the wisdomH2451 of EgyptH4714.
For he was wiserH2449 than all menH120; than EthanH387 the EzrahiteH250, and HemanH1968, and ChalcolH3633, and DardaH1862, the sonsH1121 of MaholH4235: and his fameH8034 was in all nationsH1471 round aboutH5439.
And he spakeH1696 threeH7969 thousandH505 proverbsH4912: and his songsH7892 were a thousandH505 and fiveH2568.
And he spakeH1696 of treesH6086, from the cedar treeH730 that is in LebanonH3844 even unto the hyssopH231 that springeth outH3318 of the wallH7023: he spakeH1696 also of beastsH929, and of fowlH5775, and of creeping thingsH7431, and of fishesH1709.
And there cameH935 of all peopleH5971 to hearH8085 the wisdomH2451 of SolomonH8010, from all kingsH4428 of the earthH776, which had heardH8085 of his wisdomH2451.
Now these are they that cameH935 to DavidH1732 to ZiklagH6860, while he yet kept himself closeH6113 becauseH6440 of SaulH7586 the sonH1121 of KishH7027: and they were among the mighty menH1368, helpersH5826 of the warH4421. {while…: Heb. being yet shut up}
They were armedH5401 with bowsH7198, and could use both the right handH3231 and the leftH8041 in hurling stonesH68 and shooting arrowsH2671 out of a bowH7198, even of Saul'sH7586 brethrenH251 of BenjaminH1144.
The chiefH7218 was AhiezerH295, then JoashH3101, the sonsH1121 of ShemaahH8094 the GibeathiteH1395; and JezielH3149, and PeletH6404, the sonsH1121 of AzmavethH5820; and BerachahH1294, and JehuH3058 the AntothiteH6069, {Shemaah: or, Hasmaah}
And IsmaiahH3460 the GibeoniteH1393, a mighty manH1368 among the thirtyH7970, and over the thirtyH7970; and JeremiahH3414, and JahazielH3166, and JohananH3110, and JosabadH3107 the GederathiteH1452,
EluzaiH498, and JerimothH3406, and BealiahH1183, and ShemariahH8114, and ShephatiahH8203 the HaruphiteH2741,
ElkanahH511, and JesiahH3449, and AzareelH5832, and JoezerH3134, and JashobeamH3434, the KorhitesH7145,
And JoelahH3132, and ZebadiahH2069, the sonsH1121 of JerohamH3395 of GedorH1446.
And of the GaditesH1425 there separatedH914 themselves unto DavidH1732 into the holdH4679 to the wildernessH4057 menH1368 of mightH2428, and menH582 of warH6635 fit for the battleH4421, that could handleH6186 shieldH6793 and bucklerH7420, whose facesH6440 were like the facesH6440 of lionsH738, and were as swiftH4116 as the roesH6643 upon the mountainsH2022; {of war: Heb. of the host} {as swift…: Heb. as the roes upon the mountains to make haste}
EzerH5829 the firstH7218, ObadiahH5662 the secondH8145, EliabH446 the thirdH7992,
MishmannahH4925 the fourthH7243, JeremiahH3414 the fifthH2549,
AttaiH6262 the sixthH8345, ElielH447 the seventhH7637,
JohananH3110 the eighthH8066, ElzabadH443 the ninthH8671,
JeremiahH3414 the tenthH6224, MachbanaiH4344 the eleventhH6249+H6240.
These were of the sonsH1121 of GadH1410, captainsH7218 of the hostH6635: oneH259 of the leastH6996 was over an hundredH3967, and the greatestH1419 over a thousandH505. {one…: or, one that was least could resist an hundred, and the greatest a thousand}
These are they that went overH5674 JordanH3383 in the firstH7223 monthH2320, when it had overflownH4390 all his banksH1415+H1428; and they put to flightH1272 all them of the valleysH6010, both toward the eastH4217, and toward the westH4628. {overflown: Heb. filled over}
And there cameH935 of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 and JudahH3063 to the holdH4679 unto DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 went outH3318 to meetH6440 them, and answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto them, If ye be comeH935 peaceablyH7965 unto me to helpH5826 me, mine heartH3824 shall be knitH3162 unto you: but if ye be come to betrayH7411 me to mine enemiesH6862, seeing there is noH3808 wrongH2555 in mine handsH3709, the GodH430 of our fathersH1 lookH7200 thereon, and rebukeH3198 it. {to meet…: Heb. before them} {be knit: Heb. be one} {wrong: or, violence}
Then the spiritH7307 cameH3847 upon AmasaiH6022, who was chiefH7218 of the captainsH7970+H7991, and he said, Thine are we, DavidH1732, and on thy side, thou sonH1121 of JesseH3448: peaceH7965, peaceH7965 be unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine helpersH5826; for thy GodH430 helpethH5826 thee. Then DavidH1732 receivedH6901 them, and madeH5414 them captainsH7218 of the bandH1416. {came…: Heb. clothed}
And there fellH5307 some of ManassehH4519 to DavidH1732, when he cameH935 with the PhilistinesH6430 against SaulH7586 to battleH4421: but they helpedH5826 them not: for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 upon advisementH6098 sentH7971 him away, sayingH559, He will fallH5307 to his masterH113 SaulH7586 to the jeopardy of our headsH7218. {to the…: Heb. on our heads}
As he wentH3212 to ZiklagH6860, there fellH5307 to him of ManassehH4519, AdnahH5734, and JozabadH3107, and JediaelH3043, and MichaelH4317, and JozabadH3107, and ElihuH453, and ZilthaiH6769, captainsH7218 of the thousandsH505 that were of ManassehH4519.
And they helpedH5826 DavidH1732 against the bandH1416 of the rovers: for they were all mighty menH1368 of valourH2428, and were captainsH8269 in the hostH6635. {against…: or, with a band}
For at that timeH6256 dayH3117 by dayH3117 there cameH935 to DavidH1732 to helpH5826 him, until it was a greatH1419 hostH4264, like the hostH4264 of GodH430.
And these are the numbersH4557 of the bandsH7218 that were ready armedH2502 to the warH6635, and cameH935 to DavidH1732 to HebronH2275, to turnH5437 the kingdomH4438 of SaulH7586 to him, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068. {bands: or, captains, or, men: Heb. heads}
The childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 that bareH5375 shieldH6793 and spearH7420 were sixH8337 thousandH505 and eightH8083 hundredH3967, ready armedH2502 to the warH6635. {armed: or, prepared}
Of the childrenH1121 of SimeonH8095, mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 for the warH6635, sevenH7651 thousandH505 and one hundredH3967.
Of the childrenH1121 of LeviH3878 fourH702 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And JehoiadaH3077 was the leaderH5057 of the AaronitesH175, and with him were threeH7969 thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967;
And ZadokH6659, a young manH5288 mightyH1368 of valourH2428, and of his father'sH1 houseH1004 twentyH6242 and twoH8147 captainsH8269.
And of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, the kindredH251 of SaulH7586, threeH7969 thousandH505: for hitherto the greatestH4768 part of them had keptH8104 the wardH4931 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586. {kindred: Heb. brethren} {the greatest…: Heb. a multitude of them}
And of the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669 twentyH6242 thousandH505 and eightH8083 hundredH3967, mightyH1368 menH582 of valourH2428, famousH8034 throughout the houseH1004 of their fathersH1. {famous: Heb. men of names}
And of the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505, which were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to comeH935 and make DavidH1732 kingH4427.
And of the childrenH1121 of IssacharH3485, which were men that had understandingH998+H3045 of the timesH6256, to knowH3045 what IsraelH3478 ought to doH6213; the headsH7218 of them were two hundredH3967; and all their brethrenH251 were at their commandmentH6310.
Of ZebulunH2074, such as went forthH3318 to battleH6635, expertH6186 in warH4421, with all instrumentsH3627 of warH4421, fiftyH2572 thousandH505, which could keep rankH5737: they were not of doubleH3820 heartH3820. {expert…: or, rangers of battle, or, ranged in battle} {keep…: or, set the battle in array} {not…: Heb. without a heart and a heart}
And of NaphtaliH5321 a thousandH505 captainsH8269, and with them with shieldH6793 and spearH2595 thirtyH7970 and sevenH7651 thousandH505.
And of the DanitesH1839 expertH6186 in warH4421 twentyH6242 and eightH8083 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967.
And of AsherH836, such as went forthH3318 to battleH6635, expertH6186 in warH4421, fortyH705 thousandH505. {expert: or, keeping their rank}
And on the other sideH5676 of JordanH3383, of the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and of the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, with all manner of instrumentsH3627 of warH6635 for the battleH4421, an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505.
All these menH582 of warH4421, that could keepH5737 rankH4634, cameH935 with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 to HebronH2275, to make DavidH1732 kingH4427 over all IsraelH3478: and all the restH7611 also of IsraelH3478 were of oneH259 heartH3824 to make DavidH1732 kingH4427.
And there they were with DavidH1732 threeH7969 daysH3117, eatingH398 and drinkingH8354: for their brethrenH251 had preparedH3559 for them.
Moreover they that were nighH7138 them, even unto IssacharH3485 and ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321, broughtH935 breadH3899 on assesH2543, and on camelsH1581, and on mulesH6505, and on oxenH1241, and meatH3978, mealH7058, cakesH1690 of figs, and bunches of raisinsH6778, and wineH3196, and oilH8081, and oxenH1241, and sheepH6629 abundantlyH7230: for there was joyH8057 in IsraelH3478. {meat…: or, victual of meal}
And in every several cityH5892 he put shieldsH6793 and spearsH7420, and made them exceedingH7235+H3966 strongH2388, having JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 on his side.
And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 that were in all IsraelH3478 resortedH3320 to him out of all their coastsH1366. {resorted…: Heb. presented themselves to him}
For the LevitesH3881 leftH5800 their suburbsH4054 and their possessionH272, and cameH3212 to JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: for JeroboamH3379 and his sonsH1121 had cast them offH2186 from executing the priest's officeH3547 unto the LORDH3068:
And he ordainedH5975 him priestsH3548 for the high placesH1116, and for the devilsH8163, and for the calvesH5695 which he had madeH6213.
And afterH310 them out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 such as setH5414 their heartsH3824 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
So they strengthenedH2388 the kingdomH4438 of JudahH3063, and made RehoboamH7346 the sonH1121 of SolomonH8010 strongH553, threeH7969 yearsH8141: for threeH7969 yearsH8141 they walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 and SolomonH8010.
And AsaH609 had an armyH2428 of men that bareH5375 targetsH6793 and spearsH7420, out of JudahH3063 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505; and out of BenjaminH1144, that bareH5375 shieldsH4043 and drewH1869 bowsH7198, two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505: all these were mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And he gatheredH6908 all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, and the strangersH1481 with them out of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, and out of SimeonH8095: for they fellH5307 to him out of IsraelH3478 in abundanceH7230, when they sawH7200 that the LORDH3068 his GodH430 was with him.
And he placedH5414 forcesH2428 in all the fencedH1219 citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and setH5414 garrisonsH5333 in the landH776 of JudahH3063, and in the citiesH5892 of EphraimH669, which AsaH609 his fatherH1 had takenH3920.
And these are the numbersH6486 of them according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1: Of JudahH3063, the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505; AdnahH5734 the chiefH8269, and with him mighty menH1368 of valourH2428 threeH7969 hundredH3967 thousandH505.
And nextH3027 to him was JehohananH3076 the captainH8269, and with him two hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084 thousandH505. {next…: Heb. at his hand}
And nextH3027 him was AmasiahH6007 the sonH1121 of ZichriH2147, who willingly offeredH5068 himself unto the LORDH3068; and with him two hundredH3967 thousandH505 mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Thou hast also givenH5414 me the necksH6203 of mine enemiesH341; that I might destroyH6789 them that hateH8130 me.
They criedH7768, but there was none to saveH3467 them: even unto the LORDH3068, but he answeredH6030 them not.
Then did I beatH7833 them small as the dustH6083 beforeH6440 the windH7307: I did cast them outH7324 as the dirtH2916 in the streetsH2351.
Thou hast deliveredH6403 me from the strivingsH7379 of the peopleH5971; and thou hast madeH7760 me the headH7218 of the heathenH1471: a peopleH5971 whom I have not knownH3045 shall serveH5647 me.
But choseH977 the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063, the mountH2022 ZionH6726 which he lovedH157.
And he builtH1129 his sanctuaryH4720 like highH7311 palaces, like the earthH776 which he hath establishedH3245 for everH5769. {established: Heb. founded}
He choseH977 DavidH1732 also his servantH5650, and tookH3947 him from the sheepfoldsH4356+H6629:
From followingH310 the ewes great with youngH5763 he broughtH935 him to feedH7462 JacobH3290 his peopleH5971, and IsraelH3478 his inheritanceH5159. {following: Heb. after}
Of the increaseH4766 of his governmentH4951 and peaceH7965 there shall be no endH7093, upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, and upon his kingdomH4467, to orderH3559 it, and to establishH5582 it with judgmentH4941 and with justiceH6666 from henceforth even forH5704 everH5769. The zealH7068 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 will performH6213 this.
ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG2257 LordG2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudaG2455; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420.
From henceforthG3063 expectingG1551 tillG2193 hisG846 enemiesG2190 be madeG5087 hisG846 footstoolG5286+G4228.
AndG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 the eldersG4245 saithG3004 unto meG3427, WeepG2799 notG3361: beholdG2400, the LionG3023 ofG5607+G1537 the tribeG5443 of JudaG2455, the RootG4491 of DavidG1138, hath prevailedG3528 to openG455 the bookG975, andG2532 to looseG3089 the sevenG2033 sealsG4973 thereofG846.
AndG2532 the seventhG1442 angelG32 soundedG4537; andG2532 there wereG1096 greatG3173 voicesG5456 inG1722 heavenG3772, sayingG3004, The kingdomsG932 of this worldG2889 are becomeG1096 the kingdoms of ourG2257 LordG2962, andG2532 of hisG846 ChristG5547; andG2532 he shall reignG936 forG1519 everG165 and everG165.
