But kingH4428 SolomonH8010 lovedH157 manyH7227 strangeH5237 womenH802, together with the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547, women of the MoabitesH4125, AmmonitesH5984, EdomitesH130, ZidoniansH6722, and HittitesH2850; {together…: or, beside}
Of the nationsH1471 concerning which the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Ye shall not go inH935 to them, neither shall they come inH935 unto you: for surelyH403 they will turn awayH5186 your heartH3824 afterH310 their godsH430: SolomonH8010 claveH1692 unto these in loveH157.
And he had sevenH7651 hundredH3967 wivesH802, princessesH8282, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 concubinesH6370: and his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3820.
For it came to pass, whenH6256 SolomonH8010 was oldH2209, that his wivesH802 turned awayH5186 his heartH3824 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: and his heartH3824 was not perfectH8003 with the LORDH3068 his GodH430, as was the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
For SolomonH8010 wentH3212 afterH310 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, and afterH310 MilcomH4445 the abominationH8251 of the AmmonitesH5984.
And SolomonH8010 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and went not fullyH4390 afterH310 the LORDH3068, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {went…: Heb. fulfilled not after}
Then did SolomonH8010 buildH1129 an high placeH1116 for ChemoshH3645, the abominationH8251 of MoabH4124, in the hillH2022 that is beforeH6440 JerusalemH3389, and for MolechH4432, the abominationH8251 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
And likewise didH6213 he for all his strangeH5237 wivesH802, which burnt incenseH6999 and sacrificedH2076 unto their godsH430.
And the LORDH3068 was angryH599 with SolomonH8010, because his heartH3824 was turnedH5186 from the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which had appearedH7200 unto him twiceH6471,
And had commandedH6680 him concerning this thingH1697, that he should not goH3212 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430: but he keptH8104 not that which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
Wherefore the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SolomonH8010, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not keptH8104 my covenantH1285 and my statutesH2708, which I have commandedH6680 thee, I will surelyH7167 rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 from thee, and will giveH5414 it to thy servantH5650. {is done…: Heb. is with thee}
Notwithstanding in thy daysH3117 I will not doH6213 it for DavidH1732 thy father'sH1 sake: but I will rendH7167 it out of the handH3027 of thy sonH1121.
HowbeitH7535 I will not rend awayH7167 all the kingdomH4467; but will giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626 to thy sonH1121 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake which I have chosenH977.
And the LORDH3068 stirred upH6965 an adversaryH7854 unto SolomonH8010, HadadH1908 the EdomiteH130: he was of the king'sH4428 seedH2233 in EdomH123.
For it came to pass, when DavidH1732 was in EdomH123, and JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was gone upH5927 to buryH6912 the slainH2491, after he had smittenH5221 every maleH2145 in EdomH123;
(For sixH8337 monthsH2320 did JoabH3097 remainH3427 there with all IsraelH3478, until he had cut offH3772 every maleH2145 in EdomH123:)
That HadadH111 fledH1272, he and certainH582 EdomitesH130 of his father'sH1 servantsH5650 with him, to goH935 into EgyptH4714; HadadH1908 being yet a littleH6996 childH5288.
And they aroseH6965 out of MidianH4080, and cameH935 to ParanH6290: and they tookH3947 menH582 with them out of ParanH6290, and they cameH935 to EgyptH4714, unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714; which gaveH5414 him an houseH1004, and appointedH559 him victualsH3899, and gaveH5414 him landH776.
And HadadH1908 foundH4672 greatH3966 favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of PharaohH6547, so that he gaveH5414 him to wifeH802 the sisterH269 of his own wifeH802, the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 the queenH1377.
And the sisterH269 of TahpenesH8472 bareH3205 him GenubathH1592 his sonH1121, whom TahpenesH8472 weanedH1580 inH8432 Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004: and GenubathH1592 was in Pharaoh'sH6547 householdH1004 amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of PharaohH6547.
And when HadadH1908 heardH8085 in EgyptH4714 that DavidH1732 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and that JoabH3097 the captainH8269 of the hostH6635 was deadH4191, HadadH1908 saidH559 to PharaohH6547, Let me departH7971, that I may goH3212 to mine own countryH776. {Let…: Heb. Send me away}
Then PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto him, But what hast thou lackedH2638 with me, that, behold, thou seekestH1245 to goH3212 to thine own countryH776? And he answeredH559, Nothing: howbeit let me goH7971 in any wiseH7971. {Nothing: Heb. Not}
And GodH430 stirred him upH6965 another adversaryH7854, RezonH7331 the sonH1121 of EliadahH450, which fledH1272 from his lordH113 HadadezerH1909 kingH4428 of ZobahH6678:
And he gatheredH6908 menH582 unto him, and became captainH8269 over a bandH1416, when DavidH1732 slewH2026 them of Zobah: and they wentH3212 to DamascusH1834, and dweltH3427 therein, and reignedH4427 in DamascusH1834.
And he was an adversaryH7854 to IsraelH3478 all the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010, beside the mischiefH7451 that HadadH1908 did: and he abhorredH6973 IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 over SyriaH758.
And JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, an EphrathiteH673 of ZeredaH6868, Solomon'sH8010 servantH5650, whose mother'sH517 nameH8034 was ZeruahH6871, a widowH490 womanH802, even he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428.
And this was the causeH1697 that he lifted upH7311 his handH3027 against the kingH4428: SolomonH8010 builtH1129 MilloH4407, and repairedH5462 the breachesH6556 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1. {repaired: Heb. closed}
And the manH376 JeroboamH3379 was a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428: and SolomonH8010 seeingH7200 the young manH5288 that he was industriousH6213+H4399, he made him rulerH6485 over all the chargeH5447 of the houseH1004 of JosephH3130. {was industrious: Heb. did work} {charge: Heb. burden}
And it came to pass at that timeH6256 when JeroboamH3379 went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, that the prophetH5030 AhijahH281 the ShiloniteH7888 foundH4672 him in the wayH1870; and he had cladH3680 himself with a newH2319 garmentH8008; and they twoH8147 were alone in the fieldH7704:
And AhijahH281 caughtH8610 the newH2319 garmentH8008 that was on him, and rentH7167 it in twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH7168:
And he saidH559 to JeroboamH3379, TakeH3947 thee tenH6235 piecesH7168: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Behold, I will rendH7167 the kingdomH4467 out of the handH3027 of SolomonH8010, and will giveH5414 tenH6235 tribesH7626 to thee:
(But he shall have oneH259 tribeH7626 for my servantH5650 David'sH1732 sake, and for Jerusalem'sH3389 sake, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478:)
Because that they have forsakenH5800 me, and have worshippedH7812 AshtorethH6253 the goddessH430 of the ZidoniansH6722, ChemoshH3645 the godH430 of the MoabitesH4124, and MilcomH4445 the godH430 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and have not walkedH1980 in my waysH1870, to doH6213 that which is rightH3477 in mine eyesH5869, and to keep my statutesH2708 and my judgmentsH4941, as did DavidH1732 his fatherH1.
Howbeit I will not takeH3947 the whole kingdomH4467 out of his handH3027: but I will makeH7896 him princeH5387 all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416 for DavidH1732 my servant'sH5650 sake, whom I choseH977, because he keptH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708:
But I will takeH3947 the kingdomH4410 out of his son'sH1121 handH3027, and will giveH5414 it unto thee, even tenH6235 tribesH7626.
And unto his sonH1121 will I giveH5414 oneH259 tribeH7626, that DavidH1732 my servantH5650 may have a lightH5216 alwayH3117 beforeH6440 me in JerusalemH3389, the cityH5892 which I have chosenH977 me to putH7760 my nameH8034 there. {light: Heb. lamp, or, candle}
And I will takeH3947 thee, and thou shalt reignH4427 according to all that thy soulH5315 desirethH183, and shalt be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And it shall be, if thou wilt hearkenH8085 unto all that I commandH6680 thee, and wilt walkH1980 in my waysH1870, and doH6213 that is rightH3477 in my sightH5869, to keepH8104 my statutesH2708 and my commandmentsH4687, as DavidH1732 my servantH5650 didH6213; that I will be with thee, and buildH1129 thee a sureH539 houseH1004, as I builtH1129 for DavidH1732, and will giveH5414 IsraelH3478 unto thee.
And I will for this afflictH6031 the seedH2233 of DavidH1732, but not for everH3117.
SolomonH8010 soughtH1245 therefore to killH4191 JeroboamH3379. And JeroboamH3379 aroseH6965, and fledH1272 into EgyptH4714, unto ShishakH7895 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and was in EgyptH4714 until the deathH4194 of SolomonH8010.
And the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010, and all that he didH6213, and his wisdomH2451, are they not writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the actsH1697 of SolomonH8010? {acts: or, words, or, things}
And the timeH3117 that SolomonH8010 reignedH4427 in JerusalemH3389 over all IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141. {time: Heb. days}
And SolomonH8010 sleptH7901 with his fathersH1, and was buriedH6912 in the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and RehoboamH7346 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead. {Rehoboam: Gr. Roboam}

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thingH7043 for him to walkH3212 in the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, that he tookH3947 to wifeH802 JezebelH348 the daughterH1323 of EthbaalH856 kingH4428 of the ZidoniansH6722, and wentH3212 and servedH5647 BaalH1168, and worshippedH7812 him. {as if…: Heb. was it a light thing, etc}
And he reared upH6965 an altarH4196 for BaalH1168 in the houseH1004 of BaalH1168, which he had builtH1129 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 madeH6213 a groveH842; and AhabH256 didH6213 moreH3254 to provoke the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 to angerH3707 than all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 that were beforeH6440 him.
ThereforeH3651 shall a manH376 leaveH5800 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and shall cleaveH1692 unto his wifeH802: and they shall be oneH259 fleshH1320.
They shall not dwellH3427 in thy landH776, lest they make thee sinH2398 against me: for if thou serveH5647 their godsH430, it will surely be a snareH4170 unto thee.
And IsraelH3478 abodeH3427 in ShittimH7851, and the peopleH5971 beganH2490 to commit whoredomH2181 with the daughtersH1323 of MoabH4124.
And they calledH7121 the peopleH5971 unto the sacrificesH2077 of their godsH430: and the peopleH5971 did eatH398, and bowed downH7812 to their godsH430.
And IsraelH3478 joinedH6775 himself unto BaalpeorH1187: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against IsraelH3478.
And his soulH5315 claveH1692 unto DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of JacobH3290, and he lovedH157 the damselH5291, and spakeH1696 kindlyH3820 unto the damselH5291. {kindly…: Heb. to the heart of the damsel}
And thou takeH3947 of their daughtersH1323 unto thy sonsH1121, and their daughtersH1323 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430, and makeH2181 thy sonsH1121 go a whoringH2181 afterH310 their godsH430.
And they tookH3947 their daughtersH1323 to be their wivesH802, and gaveH5414 their daughtersH1323 to their sonsH1121, and servedH5647 their godsH430.
And it came to pass afterwardH310, that he lovedH157 a womanH802 in the valleyH5158 of SorekH7796, whose nameH8034 was DelilahH1807. {in…: or, by the brook}
And the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and saidH559 unto her, EnticeH6601 him, and seeH7200 wherein his greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and by what means we may prevailH3201 against him, that we may bindH631 him to afflictH6031 him: and we will giveH5414 thee every oneH376 of us eleven hundredH505+H3967 pieces of silverH3701. {afflict: or, humble}
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 to SamsonH8123, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be boundH631 to afflictH6031 thee.
And SamsonH8123 saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me with sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 that were never driedH2717, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist} {another: Heb. one}
Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 brought upH5927 to her sevenH7651 greenH3892 withsH3499 which had not been driedH2717, and she boundH631 him with them. {green…: or, new cords: Heb. moist}
Now there were men lying in waitH693, abidingH3427 with her in the chamberH2315. And she saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he brakeH5423 the withsH3499, as a threadH6616 of towH5296 is brokenH5423 when it touchethH7306 the fireH784. So his strengthH3581 was not knownH3045. {toucheth: Heb. smelleth}
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, Behold, thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: now tellH5046 me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be boundH631.
And he saidH559 unto her, If they bindH631 me fastH631 with newH2319 ropesH5688 that never were occupiedH4399+H6213, then shall I be weakH2470, and be as anotherH259 manH120. {that never…: Heb. wherewith work hath not been done}
DelilahH1807 therefore tookH3947 newH2319 ropesH5688, and boundH631 him therewith, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And there were liers in waitH693 abidingH3427 in the chamberH2315. And he brakeH5423 them from off his armsH2220 like a threadH2339.
And DelilahH1807 saidH559 unto SamsonH8123, HithertoH2008 thou hast mockedH2048 me, and toldH1696 me liesH3577: tellH5046 me wherewith thou mightest be boundH631. And he saidH559 unto her, If thou weavestH707 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of my headH7218 with the webH4545.
And she fastenedH8628 it with the pinH3489, and saidH559 unto him, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and went awayH5265 with the pinH3489 of the beamH708, and with the webH4545.
And she saidH559 unto him, HowH349 canst thou sayH559, I loveH157 thee, when thine heartH3820 is not with me? thou hast mockedH2048 me these threeH7969 timesH6471, and hast not toldH5046 me wherein thy greatH1419 strengthH3581 lieth.
And it came to pass, when she pressedH6693 him dailyH3117 with her wordsH1697, and urgedH509 him, so that his soulH5315 was vexedH7114 unto deathH4191; {vexed: Heb. shortened}
That he toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, and saidH559 unto her, There hath not comeH5927 a razorH4177 upon mine headH7218; for I have been a NazariteH5139 unto GodH430 from my mother'sH517 wombH990: if I be shavenH1548, then my strengthH3581 will goH5493 from me, and I shall become weakH2470, and be like any other manH120.
And when DelilahH1807 sawH7200 that he had toldH5046 her all his heartH3820, she sentH7971 and calledH7121 for the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430, sayingH559, Come upH5927 this onceH6471, for he hath shewedH5046 me all his heartH3820. Then the lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430 came upH5927 unto her, and broughtH5927 moneyH3701 in their handH3027.
And she made him sleepH3462 upon her kneesH1290; and she calledH7121 for a manH376, and she caused him to shave offH1548 the sevenH7651 locksH4253 of his headH7218; and she beganH2490 to afflictH6031 him, and his strengthH3581 wentH5493 from him.
And she saidH559, The PhilistinesH6430 be upon thee, SamsonH8123. And he awokeH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and saidH559, I will go outH3318 as at other times beforeH6471, and shakeH5287 myself. And he wistH3045 not that the LORDH3068 was departedH5493 from him.
But the PhilistinesH6430 tookH270 him, and put outH5365 his eyesH5869, and brought him downH3381 to GazaH5804, and boundH631 him with fetters of brassH5178; and he did grindH2912 in the prisonH631 houseH1004. {put out: Heb. bored out}
Neither shalt thou make marriagesH2859 with them; thy daughterH1323 thou shalt not giveH5414 unto his sonH1121, nor his daughterH1323 shalt thou takeH3947 unto thy sonH1121.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and forgatH7911 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and servedH5647 BaalimH1168 and the grovesH842.
And JehuH3058 the sonH1121 of HananiH2607 the seerH2374 went outH3318 to meetH6440 him, and saidH559 to kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Shouldest thou helpH5826 the ungodlyH7563, and loveH157 them that hateH8130 the LORDH3068? thereforeH2063 is wrathH7110 upon thee from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068.
For they will turn awayH5493 thy sonH1121 from followingH310 me, that they may serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430: so will the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 be kindledH2734 against you, and destroyH8045 thee suddenlyH4118.
And he walkedH3212 in the wayH1870 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478, like as didH6213 the houseH1004 of AhabH256: for he had the daughterH1323 of AhabH256 to wifeH802: and he wroughtH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068.
Do not I hateH8130 them, O LORDH3068, that hateH8130 thee? and am not I grievedH6962 with those that rise upH8618 against thee?
Else if ye do in any wiseH7725 go backH7725, and cleaveH1692 unto the remnantH3499 of these nationsH1471, even these that remainH7604 among you, and shall make marriagesH2859 with them, and go inH935 unto them, and they to you:
Be yeG1096 notG3361 unequally yoked togetherG2086 with unbelieversG571: forG1063 whatG5101 fellowshipG3352 hath righteousnessG1343 withG2532 unrighteousnessG458? andG1161 whatG5101 communionG2842 hath lightG5457 withG4314 darknessG4655?
AndG1161 whatG5101 concordG4857 hath ChristG5547 withG4314 BelialG955? orG2228 whatG5101 partG3310 hath he that believethG4103 withG3326 an infidelG571?
AndG1161 whatG5101 agreementG4783 hath the templeG3485 of GodG2316 withG3326 idolsG1497? forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 the templeG3485 of the livingG2198 GodG2316; asG2531 GodG2316 hath saidG2036+G3754, I will dwellG1774 inG1722 themG846, andG2532 walk inG1704 them; andG2532 I will beG2071 theirG846 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 shall beG2071 myG3427 peopleG2992.
WhoG3748 knowingG1921 the judgmentG1345 of GodG2316, thatG3754 they which commitG4238 such thingsG5108 areG1526 worthyG514 of deathG2288, notG3756 onlyG3440 doG4160 the sameG846, butG235+G2532 have pleasureG4909 in them that doG4238 them. {have…: or, consent with}
KnowH3045 for a certaintyH3045 that the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will no moreH3254 drive outH3423 any of these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; but they shall be snaresH6341 and trapsH4170 unto you, and scourgesH7850 in your sidesH6654, and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, until ye perishH6 from off this goodH2896 landH127 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath givenH5414 you.
Let loveG26 be without dissimulationG505. AbhorG655 that which is evilG4190; cleaveG2853 to that which is goodG18.
Now therefore giveH5414 not your daughtersH1323 unto their sonsH1121, neither takeH5375 their daughtersH1323 unto your sonsH1121, nor seekH1875 their peaceH7965 or their wealthH2896 forH5704 everH5769: that ye may be strongH2388, and eatH398 the goodH2898 of the landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH3423 to your childrenH1121 for everH5769.
And ShechaniahH7935 the sonH1121 of JehielH3171, one of the sonsH1121 of ElamH5867, answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto EzraH5830, We have trespassedH4603 against our GodH430, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776: yet now there isH3426 hopeH4723 in IsraelH3478 concerning this thing.
Now therefore let us makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with our GodH430 to put awayH3318 all the wivesH802, and such as are bornH3205 of them, according to the counselH6098 of my lordH136, and of those that trembleH2730 at the commandmentH4687 of our GodH430; and let it be doneH6213 according to the lawH8451. {to put…: Heb. to bring forth}
AriseH6965; for this matterH1697 belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courageH2388, and doH6213 it.
Then aroseH6965 EzraH5830, and made the chiefH8269 priestsH3548, the LevitesH3881, and all IsraelH3478, to swearH7650 that they should doH6213 according to this wordH1697. And they swareH7650.
Then EzraH5830 rose upH6965 from beforeH6440 the houseH1004 of GodH430, and wentH3212 into the chamberH3957 of JohananH3076 the sonH1121 of EliashibH475: and when he cameH3212 thither, he did eatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325: for he mournedH56 because of the transgressionH4604 of them that had been carried awayH1473.
And they made proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 unto all the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473, that they should gather themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389;
And that whosoever would not comeH935 within threeH7969 daysH3117, according to the counselH6098 of the princesH8269 and the eldersH2205, all his substanceH7399 should be forfeitedH2763, and himself separatedH914 from the congregationH6951 of those that had been carried awayH1473. {forfeited: Heb. devoted}
Then all the menH582 of JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH6908 unto JerusalemH3389 within threeH7969 daysH3117. It was the ninthH8671 monthH2320, on the twentiethH6242 day of the monthH2320; and all the peopleH5971 satH3427 in the streetH7339 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, tremblingH7460 because of this matterH1697, and for the great rainH1653. {the great…: Heb. the showers}
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 stood upH6965, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have transgressedH4603, and have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802, to increaseH3254 the trespassH819 of IsraelH3478. {have taken: Heb. have caused to dwell, or, have brought back}
Now therefore makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and doH6213 his pleasureH7522: and separateH914 yourselves from the peopleH5971 of the landH776, and from the strangeH5237 wivesH802.
Then all the congregationH6951 answeredH6030 and saidH559 with a loudH1419 voiceH6963, As thou hast saidH1697, so must we doH6213.
ButH61 the peopleH5971 are manyH7227, and it is a timeH6256 of much rainH1653, and we are not ableH3581 to standH5975 withoutH2351, neither is this a workH4399 of oneH259 dayH3117 or twoH8147: for we are manyH7235 that have transgressedH6586 in this thingH1697. {we are many…: or, we have greatly offended in this thing}
Let now our rulersH8269 of all the congregationH6951 standH5975, and let all them which have takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 in our citiesH5892 comeH935 at appointedH2163 timesH6256, and with them the eldersH2205 of every cityH5892, and the judgesH8199 thereof, until the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of our GodH430 for this matterH1697 be turnedH7725 from us. {for this…: or, till this matter be dispatched}
Only JonathanH3129 the sonH1121 of AsahelH6214 and JahaziahH3167 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616 were employedH5975 about this matter: and MeshullamH4918 and ShabbethaiH7678 the LeviteH3881 helpedH5826 them. {were…: Heb. stood}
And the childrenH1121 of the captivityH1473 did soH6213. And EzraH5830 the priestH3548, with certainH582 chiefH7218 of the fathersH1, after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, and all of them by their namesH8034, were separatedH914, and sat downH3427 in the firstH259 dayH3117 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320 to examineH1875 the matterH1697.
And they made an endH3615 with all the menH582 that had takenH3427 strangeH5237 wivesH802 by the firstH259 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
NeverthelessG235 I haveG2192 somewhat againstG2596 theeG4675, becauseG3754 thou hast leftG863 thyG4675 firstG4413 loveG26.
JudahH3063 hath dealt treacherouslyH898, and an abominationH8441 is committedH6213 in IsraelH3478 and in JerusalemH3389; for JudahH3063 hath profanedH2490 the holinessH6944 of the LORDH3068 which he lovedH157, and hath marriedH1166 the daughterH1323 of a strangeH5236 godH410. {loved: or, ought to love}
