But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571 heardH8085 that we buildedH1129 the wallH2346, he was wrothH2734, and took greatH7235 indignationH3707, and mockedH3932 the JewsH3064.
And he spakeH559 beforeH6440 his brethrenH251 and the armyH2428 of SamariaH8111, and saidH559, What doH6213 these feebleH537 JewsH3064? will they fortifyH5800 themselves? will they sacrificeH2076? will they make an endH3615 in a dayH3117? will they reviveH2421 the stonesH68 out of the heapsH6194 of the rubbishH6083 which are burnedH8313? {fortify…: Heb. leave to themselves}
Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was by himH681, and he saidH559, Even that which they buildH1129, if a foxH7776 go upH5927, he shall even break downH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346.
HearH8085, O our GodH430; for we are despisedH939: and turnH7725 their reproachH2781 upon their own headH7218, and giveH5414 them for a preyH961 in the landH776 of captivityH7633: {despised: Heb. despite}
And coverH3680 not their iniquityH5771, and let not their sinH2403 be blotted outH4229 from beforeH6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to angerH3707 before the buildersH1129.
So builtH1129 we the wallH2346; and all the wallH2346 was joined togetherH7194 unto the halfH2677 thereof: for the peopleH5971 had a mindH3820 to workH6213.
But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and the ArabiansH6163, and the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796, heardH8085 that the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 were made upH724+H5927, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to be stoppedH5640, then they were veryH3966 wrothH2734, {were made up: Heb. ascended}
And conspiredH7194 all of them togetherH3162 to comeH935 and to fightH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and to hinderH6213+H8442 it. {to hinder…: Heb. to make an error to it}
Nevertheless we made our prayerH6419 unto our GodH430, and setH5975 a watchH4929 against them dayH3119 and nightH3915, becauseH6440 of them.
And JudahH3063 saidH559, The strengthH3581 of the bearers of burdensH5449 is decayedH3782, and there is muchH7235 rubbishH6083; so that we are not ableH3201 to buildH1129 the wallH2346.
And our adversariesH6862 saidH559, They shall not knowH3045, neither seeH7200, till we comeH935 in the midstH8432 amongH8432 them, and slayH2026 them, and cause the workH4399 to ceaseH7673.
And it came to pass, that when the JewsH3064 which dweltH3427 by themH681 cameH935, they saidH559 unto us tenH6235 timesH6471, From all placesH4725 whence ye shall returnH7725 unto us they will be upon you. {From all…: or, That from all places ye must return to us}
Therefore setH5975 I in the lowerH8482 placesH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, and on the higher placesH6706+H6708, I even setH5975 the peopleH5971 after their familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, their spearsH7420, and their bowsH7198. {in the…: Heb. from the lower parts of the place, etc}
And I lookedH7200, and rose upH6965, and saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be not ye afraidH3372 of themH6440: rememberH2142 the LordH136, which is greatH1419 and terribleH3372, and fightH3898 for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004.
And it came to pass, when our enemiesH341 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 unto us, and GodH430 had broughtH6565 their counselH6098 to noughtH6565, that we returnedH7725 all of us to the wallH2346, every oneH376 unto his workH4399.
And it came to pass from that timeH3117 forth, that the halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and the other halfH2677 of them heldH2388 both the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, and the bowsH7198, and the habergeonsH8302; and the rulersH8269 were behindH310 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
They which buildedH1129 on the wallH2346, and they that bareH5375 burdensH5447, with those that ladedH6006, every one with oneH259 of his handsH3027 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and with the otherH259 hand heldH2388 a weaponH7973.
For the buildersH1129, every oneH376 had his swordH2719 girdedH631 by his sideH4975, and so buildedH1129. And he that soundedH8628 the trumpetH7782 was by meH681. {by his side: Heb. on his loins}
And I saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, The workH4399 is greatH7235 and largeH7342, and we are separatedH6504 upon the wallH2346, oneH376 far fromH7350 anotherH251.
In what placeH4725 therefore ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, resortH6908 ye thither unto us: our GodH430 shall fightH3898 for us.
So we labouredH6213 in the workH4399: and halfH2677 of them heldH2388 the spearsH7420 from the risingH5927 of the morningH7837 till the starsH3556 appearedH3318.
Likewise at the same timeH6256 saidH559 I unto the peopleH5971, Let every oneH376 with his servantH5288 lodgeH3885 withinH8432 JerusalemH3389, that in the nightH3915 they may be a guardH4929 to us, and labourH4399 on the dayH3117.
So neither I, nor my brethrenH251, nor my servantsH5288, nor the menH582 of the guardH4929 which followedH310 me, none of usH587 put offH6584 our clothesH899, saving that every oneH376 put them offH7973 for washingH4325. {saving…: or, every one went with his weapon for water}

And IsraelH3478 setH7760 liers in waitH693 round aboutH5439 GibeahH1390.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 against the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, and put themselves in arrayH6186 against GibeahH1390, as at other timesH6471.
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 went outH3318 againstH7125 the peopleH5971, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892; and they beganH2490 to smiteH5221 of the peopleH5971, and killH2491, as at other timesH6471, in the highwaysH4546, of which oneH259 goeth upH5927 to the houseH1004 of GodH430+H1008, and the otherH259 to GibeahH1390 in the fieldH7704, about thirtyH7970 menH376 of IsraelH3478. {to smite…: Heb. to smite of the people wounded as at, etc} {the house…: or, Bethel}
And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 saidH559, They are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223. But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127, and drawH5423 them from the cityH5892 unto the highwaysH4546.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 rose upH6965 out of their placeH4725, and put themselves in arrayH6186 at BaaltamarH1193: and the liers in waitH693 of IsraelH3478 came forthH1518 out of their placesH4725, even out of the meadowsH4629 of GibeahH1387.
And there cameH935 againstH5048 GibeahH1390 tenH6235 thousandH505 chosenH977 menH376 out of all IsraelH3478, and the battleH4421 was soreH3513: but they knewH3045 not that evilH7451 was nearH5060 them.
And the LORDH3068 smoteH5062 BenjaminH1144 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 destroyedH7843 of the BenjamitesH1145 that dayH3117 twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 and an hundredH3967 menH376: all these drewH8025 the swordH2719.
So the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 sawH7200 that they were smittenH5062: for the menH376 of IsraelH3478 gaveH5414 placeH4725 to the BenjamitesH1145, because they trustedH982 unto the liers in waitH693 which they had setH7760 beside GibeahH1390.
And the liers in waitH693 hastedH2363, and rushedH6584 upon GibeahH1390; and the liers in waitH693 drew themselves alongH4900, and smoteH5221 all the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. {drew…: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}
Now there was an appointed signH4150 between the menH376 of IsraelH3478 andH5973 the liers in waitH693, that they should make a greatH7235 flameH4864 with smokeH6227 rise upH5927 out of the cityH5892. {sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 retiredH2015 in the battleH4421, BenjaminH1144 beganH2490 to smiteH5221 and killH2491 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478 about thirtyH7970 personsH376: for they saidH559, SurelyH5062 they are smitten downH5062 beforeH6440 us, as in the firstH7223 battleH4421. {to smite…: Heb. to smite the wounded}
But when the flameH4864 beganH2490 to arise upH5927 out of the cityH5892 with a pillarH5982 of smokeH6227, the BenjamitesH1145 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, and, behold, the flameH3632 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064. {the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH2015, the menH376 of BenjaminH1144 were amazedH926: for they sawH7200 that evilH7451 was comeH5060 upon them. {was come…: Heb. touched them}
Therefore they turnedH6437 their backs beforeH6440 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 unto the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057; but the battleH4421 overtookH1692 them; and them which came out of the citiesH5892 they destroyedH7843 in the midstH8432 of them.
Thus they inclosedH3803 the BenjamitesH1145 round aboutH3803, and chasedH7291 them, and trode them downH1869 with easeH4496 over againstH5227 GibeahH1390 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121. {with ease…: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over…: Heb. unto over against}
And there fellH5307 of BenjaminH1144 eighteenH8083+H6240 thousandH505 menH376; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
And they turnedH6437 and fledH5127 toward the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 of RimmonH7417: and they gleanedH5953 of them in the highwaysH4546 fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376; and pursuedH1692 hard afterH310 them unto GidomH1440, and slewH5221 two thousandH505 menH376 of them.
So that all which fellH5307 that dayH3117 of BenjaminH1144 were twentyH6242 and fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 the swordH2719; all these were menH582 of valourH2428.
But sixH8337 hundredH3967 menH376 turnedH6437 and fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 unto the rockH5553 RimmonH7417, and abodeH3427 in the rockH5553 RimmonH7417 fourH702 monthsH2320.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725 upon the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, as well the menH4974 of every cityH5892, asH5704 the beastH929, and all that came to handH4672: also they setH7971 on fireH784 all the citiesH5892 that they came toH4672. {came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came…: Heb. were found}
And I will comeH935 upon him while he is wearyH3023 and weakH7504 handedH3027, and will make him afraidH2729: and all the peopleH5971 that are with him shall fleeH5127; and I will smiteH5221 the kingH4428 only:
They gather themselves togetherH1481, they hideH6845+H6845 themselves, they markH8104 my stepsH6119, when they waitH6960 for my soulH5315.
Therefore shall evilH7451 comeH935 upon thee; thou shalt not knowH3045 from whence it risethH7837: and mischiefH1943 shall fallH5307 upon thee; thou shalt not be ableH3201 to put it offH3722: and desolationH7722 shall comeH935 upon thee suddenlyH6597, which thou shalt not knowH3045. {from…: Heb. the morning thereof} {put: Heb. expiate}
