To the chief MusicianH5329 upon SheminithH8067, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. HelpH3467, LORDH3068; for the godly manH2623 ceasethH1584; for the faithfulH539 failH6461 from among the childrenH1121 of menH120. {upon…: or, upon the eighth} {Help: or, Save}
They speakH1696 vanityH7723 every oneH376 with his neighbourH7453: with flatteringH2513 lipsH8193 and with a doubleH3820 heartH3820 do they speakH1696. {a double…: Heb. an heart and an heart}
The LORDH3068 shall cut offH3772 all flatteringH2513 lipsH8193, and the tongueH3956 that speakethH1696 proudH1419 things: {proud: Heb. great}
Who have saidH559, With our tongueH3956 will we prevailH1396; our lipsH8193 are our own: who is lordH113 over us? {are…: Heb. are with us}
For the oppressionH7701 of the poorH6041, for the sighingH603 of the needyH34, now will I ariseH6965, saithH559 the LORDH3068; I will setH7896 him in safetyH3468 from him that puffethH6315 at him. {puffeth…: or, would ensnare him}
The wordsH565 of the LORDH3068 are pureH2889 wordsH565: as silverH3701 triedH6884 in a furnaceH5948 of earthH776, purifiedH2212 seven timesH7659.
Thou shalt keepH8104 them, O LORDH3068, thou shalt preserveH5341 them from thisH2098 generationH1755 for everH5769. {them from: Heb. him, etc: that is, every one of them, etc}
The wickedH7563 walkH1980 on every sideH5439, when the vilestH2149 menH1121+H120 are exaltedH7311. {men: Heb. of the sons of the men}
Querverweise zu Psalm 12,8 Ps 12,8
And ye are risen upH6965 against my father'sH1 houseH1004 this dayH3117, and have slainH2026 his sonsH1121, threescore and tenH7657 personsH376, upon oneH259 stoneH68, and have made AbimelechH40, the sonH1121 of his maidservantH519, kingH4427 over the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, because he is your brotherH251;)
If ye then have dealtH6213 trulyH571 and sincerelyH8549 with JerubbaalH3378 and with his houseH1004 this dayH3117, then rejoiceH8055 ye in AbimelechH40, and let him also rejoiceH8055 in you:
But if not, let fireH784 come outH3318 from AbimelechH40, and devourH398 the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, and the houseH1004 of MilloH4407+H1037; and let fireH784 come outH3318 from the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, and from the houseH1004 of MilloH4407+H1037, and devourH398 AbimelechH40.
And JothamH3147 ran awayH1272, and fledH5127, and wentH3212 to BeerH876, and dweltH3427 there, for fearH6440 of AbimelechH40 his brotherH251.
When AbimelechH40 had reignedH7786 threeH7969 yearsH8141 over IsraelH3478,
Then GodH430 sentH7971 an evilH7451 spiritH7307 between AbimelechH40 and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927; and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 dealt treacherouslyH898 with AbimelechH40:
That the crueltyH2555 done to the threescore and tenH7657 sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 might comeH935, and their bloodH1818 be laidH7760 upon AbimelechH40 their brotherH251, which slewH2026 them; and upon the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, which aidedH2388+H3027 him in the killingH2026 of his brethrenH251. {aided…: Heb. strengthened his hands to kill}
And the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 setH7760 liers in waitH693 for him in the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022, and they robbedH1497 all that cameH5674 along that wayH1870 by them: and it was toldH5046 AbimelechH40.
And GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 cameH935 with his brethrenH251, and went overH5674 to ShechemH7927: and the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 put their confidenceH982 in him.
And they went outH3318 into the fieldsH7704, and gatheredH1219 their vineyardsH3754, and trodeH1869 the grapes, and madeH6213 merryH1974, and wentH935 into the houseH1004 of their godH430, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and cursedH7043 AbimelechH40. {merry: or, songs}
And GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 saidH559, Who is AbimelechH40, and who is ShechemH7927, that we should serveH5647 him? is not he the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378? and ZebulH2083 his officerH6496? serveH5647 the menH582 of HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927: for why should we serveH5647 him?
And would to God this peopleH5971 were underH5414 my handH3027! then would I removeH5493 AbimelechH40. And he saidH559 to AbimelechH40, IncreaseH7235 thine armyH6635, and come outH3318.
And when ZebulH2083 the rulerH8269 of the cityH5892 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651, his angerH639 was kindledH2734. {kindled: or, hot}
And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto AbimelechH40 privilyH8649, sayingH559, Behold, GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 and his brethrenH251 be comeH935 to ShechemH7927; and, behold, they fortifyH6696 the cityH5892 against thee. {privily: Heb. craftily or, to Tormah}
Now therefore upH6965 by nightH3915, thou and the peopleH5971 that is with thee, and lie in waitH693 in the fieldH7704:
And it shall be, that in the morningH1242, as soon as the sunH8121 is upH2224, thou shalt rise earlyH7925, and setH6584 upon the cityH5892: and, behold, when he and the peopleH5971 that is with him come outH3318 against thee, then mayest thou doH6213 to them as thouH3027 shalt find occasionH4672. {as thou shalt…: Heb. as thine hand shall find}
And AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, by nightH3915, and they laid waitH693 against ShechemH7927 in fourH702 companiesH7218.
And GaalH1603 the sonH1121 of EbedH5651 went outH3318, and stoodH5975 in the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892: and AbimelechH40 rose upH6965, and the peopleH5971 that were with him, from lying in waitH3993.
And when GaalH1603 sawH7200 the peopleH5971, he saidH559 to ZebulH2083, Behold, there comeH3381 peopleH5971 downH3381 from the topH7218 of the mountainsH2022. And ZebulH2083 saidH559 unto him, Thou seestH7200 the shadowH6738 of the mountainsH2022 as if they were menH582.
And GaalH1603 spakeH1696 againH3254 and saidH559, See there comeH3381 peopleH5971 downH3381 by the middleH2872 of the landH776, and anotherH259 companyH7218 comeH935 along by the plainH436 ofH1870 MeonenimH6049. {middle: Heb. navel} {Meonenim: or, the regarders of times}
Then saidH559 ZebulH2083 unto him, Where is nowH645 thy mouthH6310, wherewith thou saidstH559, Who is AbimelechH40, that we should serveH5647 him? is not this the peopleH5971 that thou hast despisedH3988? go outH3318, I pray nowH4994, and fightH3898 with them.
And GaalH1603 went outH3318 beforeH6440 the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, and foughtH3898 with AbimelechH40.
And AbimelechH40 chasedH7291 him, and he fledH5127 beforeH6440 him, and manyH7227 were overthrownH5307 and woundedH2491, even unto the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179.
And AbimelechH40 dweltH3427 at ArumahH725: and ZebulH2083 thrust outH1644 GaalH1603 and his brethrenH251, that they should not dwellH3427 in ShechemH7927.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that the peopleH5971 went outH3318 into the fieldH7704; and they toldH5046 AbimelechH40.
And he tookH3947 the peopleH5971, and dividedH2673 them into threeH7969 companiesH7218, and laid waitH693 in the fieldH7704, and lookedH7200, and, behold, the peopleH5971 were come forthH3318 out of the cityH5892; and he rose upH6965 against them, and smoteH5221 them.
And AbimelechH40, and the companyH7218 that was with him, rushed forwardH6584, and stoodH5975 in the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892: and the twoH8147 other companiesH7218 ran uponH6584 all the people that were in the fieldsH7704, and slewH5221 them.
And AbimelechH40 foughtH3898 against the cityH5892 all that dayH3117; and he tookH3920 the cityH5892, and slewH2026 the peopleH5971 that was therein, and beat downH5422 the cityH5892, and sowedH2232 it with saltH4417.
And when all the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 heardH8085 that, they enteredH935 into an holdH6877 of the houseH1004 of the godH410 BerithH1286.
And it was toldH5046 AbimelechH40, that all the menH1167 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 were gathered togetherH6908.
And AbimelechH40 gat him upH5927 to mountH2022 ZalmonH6756, he and all the peopleH5971 that were with him; and AbimelechH40 tookH3947 an axeH7134 in his handH3027, and cut downH3772 a boughH7754 from the treesH6086, and tookH5375 it, and laidH7760 it on his shoulderH7926, and saidH559 unto the peopleH5971 that were with him, What ye have seenH7200 me doH6213, make hasteH4116, and doH6213 as IH3644 have done. {me do: Heb. I have done}
And all the peopleH5971 likewise cut downH3772 every manH376 his boughH7754, and followedH3212+H310 AbimelechH40, and putH7760 them to the holdH6877, and setH3341 the holdH6877 on fireH784 upon them; so that all the menH582 of the towerH4026 of ShechemH7927 diedH4191 also, about a thousandH505 menH376 and womenH802.
Then wentH3212 AbimelechH40 to ThebezH8405, and encampedH2583 against ThebezH8405, and tookH3920 it.
But there was a strongH5797 towerH4026 withinH8432 the cityH5892, and thither fledH5127 all the menH582 and womenH802, and all theyH1167 of the cityH5892, and shutH5462 it to them, and gat them upH5927 to the topH1406 of the towerH4026.
And AbimelechH40 cameH935 unto the towerH4026, and foughtH3898 against it, and went hardH5066 unto the doorH6607 of the towerH4026 to burnH8313 it with fireH784.
And a certainH259 womanH802 castH7993 a pieceH6400 of a millstoneH7393 upon Abimelech'sH40 headH7218, and all to brakeH7533 his skullH1538.
Then he calledH7121 hastilyH4120 unto the young manH5288 his armourbearerH5375+H3627, and saidH559 unto him, DrawH8025 thy swordH2719, and slayH4191 me, that men sayH559 not of me, A womanH802 slewH2026 him. And his young manH5288 thrust him throughH1856, and he diedH4191.
And when the menH376 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that AbimelechH40 was deadH4191, they departedH3212 every manH376 unto his placeH4725.
Thus GodH430 renderedH7725 the wickednessH7451 of AbimelechH40, which he didH6213 unto his fatherH1, in slayingH2026 his seventyH7657 brethrenH251:
And all the evilH7451 of the menH582 of ShechemH7927 did GodH430 renderH7725 upon their headsH7218: and upon them cameH935 the curseH7045 of JothamH3147 the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378.
They were childrenH1121 of foolsH5036, yea, childrenH1121 of base menH8034: they were vilerH5217 than the earthH776. {base…: Heb. men of no name}
EphraimH669 is oppressedH6231 and brokenH7533 in judgmentH4941, because he willinglyH2974 walkedH1980 afterH310 the commandmentH6673.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Behold my elderH1419 daughterH1323 MerabH4764, her will I giveH5414 thee to wifeH802: only be thou valiantH1121+H2428 for me, and fightH3898 the LORD'SH3068 battlesH4421. For SaulH7586 saidH559, Let not mine handH3027 be upon him, but let the handH3027 of the PhilistinesH6430 be upon him. {valiant: Heb. a son of valour}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
For the statutesH2708 of OmriH6018 are keptH8104, and all the worksH4639 of the houseH1004 of AhabH256, and ye walkH3212 in their counselsH4156; that I should makeH5414 thee a desolationH8047, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof an hissingH8322: therefore ye shall bearH5375 the reproachH2781 of my peopleH5971. {For the…: or, For he doth much keep the, etc} {desolation: or, astonishment}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Who am I? and what is my lifeH2416, or my father'sH1 familyH4940 in IsraelH3478, that I should be son in lawH2860 to the kingH4428?
And he thoughtH5869 scornH959 to layH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 alone; for they had shewedH5046 him the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782: wherefore HamanH2001 soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 all the JewsH3064 that were throughout the whole kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325, even the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782.
In the firstH7223 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 NisanH5212, in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, they castH5307 PurH6332, that is, the lotH1486, beforeH6440 HamanH2001 from dayH3117 to dayH3117, and from monthH2320 to monthH2320, to the twelfthH8147+H6240 month, that is, the monthH2320 AdarH143.
And HamanH2001 saidH559 unto kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, There isH3426 a certainH259 peopleH5971 scattered abroadH6340 and dispersedH6504 among the peopleH5971 in all the provincesH4082 of thy kingdomH4438; and their lawsH1881 are diverseH8138 from all peopleH5971; neither keepH6213 they the king'sH4428 lawsH1881: therefore it is not for the king'sH4428 profitH7737 to sufferH3240 them. {for the…: Heb. meet or, equal, etc}
If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let it be writtenH3789 that they may be destroyedH6: and I will payH8254 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 to the handsH3027 of those that have the chargeH6213 of the businessH4399, to bringH935 it into the king'sH4428 treasuriesH1595. {that they…: Heb. to destroy them} {pay: Heb. weigh}
And the kingH4428 tookH5493 his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and gaveH5414 it unto HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887. {enemy: or, oppressor}
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto HamanH2001, The silverH3701 is givenH5414 to thee, the peopleH5971 also, to doH6213 with them as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 to thee.
Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 on the thirteenthH7969+H6240 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and there was writtenH3789 according to all that HamanH2001 had commandedH6680 unto the king'sH4428 lieutenantsH323, and to the governorsH6346 that were over every provinceH4082, and to the rulersH8269 of every peopleH5971 of every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and to every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956; in the nameH8034 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 was it writtenH3789, and sealedH2856 with the king'sH4428 ringH2885. {scribes: or, secretaries}
And the lettersH5612 were sentH7971 byH3027 postsH7323 into all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082, to destroyH8045, to killH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all JewsH3064, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, little childrenH2945 and womenH802, in oneH259 dayH3117, even upon the thirteenthH7969+H6240 day of the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962.
The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, that they should be readyH6264 against that dayH3117.
The postsH7323 went outH3318, being hastenedH1765 by the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697, and the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002. And the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 sat downH3427 to drinkH8354; but the cityH5892 ShushanH7800 was perplexedH943.
The heartH3824 also of the rashH4116 shall understandH995 knowledgeH1847, and the tongueH3956 of the stammerersH5926 shall be readyH4116 to speakH1696 plainlyH6703. {rash: Heb. hasty} {plainly: or, elegantly}
The vile personH5036 shall be no more calledH7121 liberalH5081, nor the churlH3596 saidH559 to be bountifulH7771.
For the vile personH5036 will speakH1696 villanyH5039, and his heartH3820 will workH6213 iniquityH205, to practiseH6213 hypocrisyH2612, and to utterH1696 errorH8442 against the LORDH3068, to make emptyH7324 the soulH5315 of the hungryH7457, and he will cause the drinkH4945 of the thirstyH6771 to failH2637.
ThenG1161 the high priestG749 rentG1284 hisG846 clothesG5509, and saithG3004, WhatG5101 needG5532 weG2192 any furtherG2089 witnessesG3144?
Ye have heardG191 the blasphemyG988: whatG5101 thinkG5316 yeG5213? AndG1161 they allG3956 condemnedG2632 himG846 to beG1511 guiltyG1777 of deathG2288.
AndG2532 someG5100 beganG756 to spitG1716 on himG846, andG2532 to coverG4028 hisG846 faceG4383, andG2532 to buffetG2852 himG846, andG2532 to sayG3004 unto himG846, ProphesyG4395: andG2532 the servantsG5257 did strikeG906 himG846 with the palms of their handsG4475.
