Versliste
Out of AsherH836 his breadH3899 shall be fatH8082, and he shall yieldH5414 royalH4428 daintiesH4574.
And the fifthH2549 lotH1486 came outH3318 for the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of AsherH836 according to their familiesH4940.
And their borderH1366 was HelkathH2520, and HaliH2482, and BetenH991, and AchshaphH407,
And AlammelechH487, and AmadH6008, and MishealH4861; and reachethH6293 to CarmelH3760 westwardH3220, and to ShihorlibnathH7884;
And turnethH7725 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121 to BethdagonH1016, and reachethH6293 to ZebulunH2074, and to the valleyH1516 of JiphthahelH3317 toward the north sideH6828 of BethemekH1025, and NeielH5272, and goeth outH3318 to CabulH3521 on the left handH8040,
And HebronH5683, and RehobH7340, and HammonH2540, and KanahH7071, even unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721;
And then the coastH1366 turnethH7725 to RamahH7414, and to the strongH4013 cityH5892 TyreH6865; and the coastH1366 turnethH7725 to HosahH2621; and the outgoingsH8444 thereof are at the seaH3220 from the coastH2256 to AchzibH392: {Tyre: Heb. Tzor}
UmmahH5981 also, and AphekH663, and RehobH7340: twentyH6242 and twoH8147 citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
This is the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of AsherH836 according to their familiesH4940, these citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and cedarH730 treesH6086, and carpentersH2796, and masonsH7023+H68: and they builtH1129 DavidH1732 an houseH1004. {masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}
So HiramH2438 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086 according to all his desireH2656.
And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto SolomonH8010; for he had heardH8085 that they had anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in the room of his fatherH1: for HiramH2438 was everH3117 a loverH157 of DavidH1732.
And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 to HiramH2438, sayingH559,
Thou knowestH3045 how that DavidH1732 my fatherH1 couldH3201 not buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 forH6440 the warsH4421 which were about him on every sideH5437, until the LORDH3068 putH5414 them under the solesH3709 of his feetH7272.
But now the LORDH3068 my GodH430 hath given me restH5117 on every sideH5439, so that there is neither adversaryH7854 nor evilH7451 occurrentH6294.
And, behold, I purposeH559 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, as the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, sayingH559, Thy sonH1121, whom I will setH5414 upon thy throneH3678 in thy room, he shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034. {purpose: Heb. say}
Now therefore commandH6680 thou that they hewH3772 me cedar treesH730 out of LebanonH3844; and my servantsH5650 shall be with thy servantsH5650: and unto thee will I giveH5414 hireH7939 for thy servantsH5650 according to all that thou shalt appointH559: for thou knowestH3045 that there is not among us anyH376 that can skillH3045 to hewH3772 timberH6086 like unto the SidoniansH6722. {appoint: Heb. say}
And it came to pass, when HiramH2438 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of SolomonH8010, that he rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 this dayH3117, which hath givenH5414 unto DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 over this greatH7227 peopleH5971.
And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, I have consideredH8085 the things which thou sentestH7971 to me for: and I will doH6213 all thy desireH2656 concerning timberH6086 of cedarH730, and concerning timberH6086 of firH1265. {considered: Heb. heard}
My servantsH5650 shall bring them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 unto the seaH3220: and I will conveyH7760 them by seaH3220 in floatsH1702 unto the placeH4725 that thou shalt appointH7971 me, and will cause them to be dischargedH5310 there, and thou shalt receiveH5375 them: and thou shalt accomplishH6213 my desireH2656, in givingH5414 foodH3899 for my householdH1004. {appoint: Heb. send}
So HiramH2438 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086 according to all his desireH2656.
ButG2532 untoG4314 noneG3762 of themG846 wasG3992 EliasG2243 sentG3992, saveG1508 untoG1519 SareptaG4558, a city of SidonG4605, untoG4314 a womanG1135 that was a widowG5503.
And HebronH5683, and RehobH7340, and HammonH2540, and KanahH7071, even unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721;
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
AndG2532 there wasG2258 one AnnaG451, a prophetessG4398, the daughterG2364 of PhanuelG5323, ofG1537 the tribeG5443 of AserG768: sheG3778+G846 was of a greatG4183+G1722 ageG2250+G4260, and had livedG2198 withG3326 an husbandG435 sevenG2033 yearsG2094 fromG575 herG846 virginityG3932;
AndG2532 sheG3778 was a widowG5503 of aboutG5613 fourscoreG3589 and fourG5064 yearsG2094, whichG3739 departedG868 notG3756 fromG575 the templeG2411, but servedG3000 God with fastingsG3521 andG2532 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250.
AndG2532 sheG3778+G846 coming inG2186 thatG846 instantG5610 gave thanks likewiseG437 unto the LordG2962, andG2532 spakeG2980 ofG4012 himG846 to allG3956 them that lookedG4327 for redemptionG3085 inG1722 JerusalemG2419. {Jerusalem: or, Israel}
NaphtaliH5321 is a hindH355 let looseH7971: he givethH5414 goodlyH8233 wordsH561.
And she sentH7971 and calledH7121 BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 out of KedeshnaphtaliH6943, and saidH559 unto him, Hath not the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680, saying, GoH3212 and drawH4900 toward mountH2022 TaborH8396, and takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of the childrenH1121 of NaphtaliH5321 and of the childrenH1121 of ZebulunH2074?
They choseH977 newH2319 godsH430; then was warH3901 in the gatesH8179: was there a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 seenH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478?
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of MidianH4080 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
And the handH3027 of MidianH4080 prevailedH5810 against IsraelH3478: and becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 madeH6213 them the densH4492 which are in the mountainsH2022, and cavesH4631, and strong holdsH4679. {prevailed: Heb. was strong}
And so it was, when IsraelH3478 had sownH2232, that the MidianitesH4080 came upH5927, and the AmalekitesH6002, and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924, even they came upH5927 against them;
And they encampedH2583 against them, and destroyedH7843 the increaseH2981 of the earthH776, till thou comeH935 unto GazaH5804, and leftH7604 no sustenanceH4241 for IsraelH3478, neither sheepH7716, nor oxH7794, nor assH2543. {sheep: or goat}
For they came upH5927 with their cattleH4735 and their tentsH168, and they cameH935+H935 asH1767 grasshoppersH697 for multitudeH7230; for both they and their camelsH1581 were without numberH4557: and they enteredH935 into the landH776 to destroyH7843 it.
And IsraelH3478 was greatlyH3966 impoverishedH1809 becauseH6440 of the MidianitesH4080; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 becauseH182 of the MidianitesH4080,
That the LORDH3068 sentH7971 a prophetH376+H5030 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, which saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I brought you upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and brought you forthH3318 out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; {a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet}
And I deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of all that oppressedH3905 you, and drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, and gaveH5414 you their landH776;
And I saidH559 unto you, I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430; fearH3372 not the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but ye have not obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963.
And there cameH935 an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and satH3427 under an oakH424 which was in OphrahH6084, that pertained unto JoashH3101 the AbiezriteH33: and his sonH1121 GideonH1439 threshedH2251 wheatH2406 by the winepressH1660, to hideH5127 it fromH6440 the MidianitesH4080. {Gideon: Gr. Gedeon} {to hide…: Heb. to cause it to flee}
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 is with thee, thou mightyH1368 man of valourH2428.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto him, OhH994 my LordH113, ifH3426 the LORDH3068 be with us, why then is all this befallenH4672 us? and where be all his miraclesH6381 which our fathersH1 toldH5608 us of, sayingH559, Did not the LORDH3068 bring us upH5927 from EgyptH4714? but now the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5203 us, and deliveredH5414 us into the handsH3709 of the MidianitesH4080.
And the LORDH3068 lookedH6437 upon him, and saidH559, GoH3212 in this thy mightH3581, and thou shalt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 from the handH3709 of the MidianitesH4080: have not I sentH7971 thee?
And he saidH559 unto him, OhH994 my LordH136, wherewithH4100 shall I saveH3467 IsraelH3478? behold, my familyH504+H505 is poorH1800 in ManassehH4519, and I am the leastH6810 in my father'sH1 houseH1004. {my family…: Heb. my thousand is the meanest}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smiteH5221 the MidianitesH4080 as oneH259 manH376.
And he saidH559 unto him, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then shewH6213 me a signH226 that thou talkestH1696 with me.
DepartH4185 not hence, I pray thee, until I comeH935 unto thee, and bring forthH3318 my presentH4503, and setH3240 it beforeH6440 thee. And he saidH559, I will tarryH3427 until thou come againH7725. {present: or, meat offering}
And GideonH1439 went inH935, and made readyH6213 a kidH5795+H1423, and unleavened cakesH4682 of an ephahH374 of flourH7058: the fleshH1320 he putH7760 in a basketH5536, and he putH7760 the brothH4839 in a potH6517, and brought it outH3318 unto him under the oakH424, and presentedH5066 it. {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
And the angelH4397 of GodH430 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682, and layH3240 them upon thisH1975 rockH5553, and pour outH8210 the brothH4839. And he didH6213 so.
Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 put forthH7971 the endH7097 of the staffH4938 that was in his handH3027, and touchedH5060 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682; and there rose upH5927 fireH784 out of the rockH6697, and consumedH398 the fleshH1320 and the unleavened cakesH4682. Then the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 departedH1980 out of his sightH5869.
And when GideonH1439 perceivedH7200 that he was an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, GideonH1439 saidH559, AlasH162, O LordH136 GODH3069! for becauseH3651 I have seenH7200 an angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 faceH6440 to faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, PeaceH7965 be unto thee; fearH3372 not: thou shalt not dieH4191.
Then GideonH1439 builtH1129 an altarH4196 there unto the LORDH3068, and calledH7121 it JehovahshalomH3073: unto this dayH3117 it is yet in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33. {Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 thy father'sH1 youngH6499 bullockH7794, even the secondH8145 bullockH6499 of sevenH7651 years oldH8141, and throw downH2040 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 that thy fatherH1 hath, and cut downH3772 the groveH842 that is by it: {even: or, and}
And buildH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 upon the topH7218 of this rockH4581, in the ordered placeH4634, and takeH3947 the secondH8145 bullockH6499, and offerH5927 a burnt sacrificeH5930 with the woodH6086 of the groveH842 which thou shalt cut downH3772. {rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered…: or, in an orderly manner}
Then GideonH1439 tookH3947 tenH6235 menH582 of his servantsH5650, and didH6213 as the LORDH3068 had saidH1696 unto him: and so it was, because he fearedH3372 his father'sH1 householdH1004, and the menH582 of the cityH5892, that he could not doH6213 it by dayH3119, that he didH6213 it by nightH3915.
And when the menH582 of the cityH5892 arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, behold, the altarH4196 of BaalH1168 was cast downH5422, and the groveH842 was cut downH3772 that was by it, and the secondH8145 bullockH6499 was offeredH5927 upon the altarH4196 that was builtH1129.
And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH7453, Who hath doneH6213 this thingH1697? And when they enquiredH1875 and askedH1245, they saidH559, GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 hath doneH6213 this thingH1697.
Then the menH582 of the cityH5892 saidH559 unto JoashH3101, Bring outH3318 thy sonH1121, that he may dieH4191: because he hath cast downH5422 the altarH4196 of BaalH1168, and because he hath cut downH3772 the groveH842 that was by it.
And JoashH3101 saidH559 unto all that stoodH5975 against him, Will ye pleadH7378 for BaalH1168? will ye saveH3467 him? he that will pleadH7378 for him, let him be put to deathH4191 whilst it is yet morningH1242: if he be a godH430, let him pleadH7378 for himself, because one hath cast downH5422 his altarH4196.
Therefore on that dayH3117 he calledH7121 him JerubbaalH3378, sayingH559, Let BaalH1168 pleadH7378 against him, because he hath thrown downH5422 his altarH4196. {Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}
Then all the MidianitesH4080 and the AmalekitesH6002 and the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924 were gatheredH622 togetherH3162, and went overH5674, and pitchedH2583 in the valleyH6010 of JezreelH3157.
But the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH3847 upon GideonH1439, and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782; and AbiezerH44 was gatheredH2199 afterH310 him. {came…: Heb. clothed} {gathered: Heb. called}
And he sentH7971 messengersH4397 throughout all ManassehH4519; who also was gatheredH2199 afterH310 him: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto AsherH836, and unto ZebulunH2074, and unto NaphtaliH5321; and they came upH5927 to meetH7125 them. {gathered: Heb. called}
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, If thou wiltH3426 saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696,
Behold, I will putH3322 a fleeceH1492 of woolH6785 in the floorH1637; and if the dewH2919 be on the fleeceH1492 only, and it be dryH2721 upon all the earthH776 beside, then shall I knowH3045 that thou wilt saveH3467 IsraelH3478 by mine handH3027, as thou hast saidH1696.
And it was so: for he rose up earlyH7925 on the morrowH4283, and thrustH2115 the fleeceH1492 togetherH2115, and wringedH4680 the dewH2919 out of the fleeceH1492, a bowlH5602 fullH4393 of waterH4325.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto GodH430, Let not thine angerH639 be hotH2734 against me, and I will speakH1696 but this onceH6471: let me proveH5254, I pray thee, but this onceH6471 with the fleeceH1492; let it now be dryH2721 only upon the fleeceH1492, and upon all the groundH776 let there be dewH2919.
And GodH430 didH6213 so that nightH3915: for it was dryH2721 upon the fleeceH1492 only, and there was dewH2919 on all the groundH776.
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:)
Now the sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 the firstbornH1060 of IsraelH3478, (for he was the firstbornH1060; but, forasmuch as he defiledH2490 his father'sH1 bedH3326, his birthrightH1062 was givenH5414 unto the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478: and the genealogy is not to be reckonedH3187 after the birthrightH1062.
For JudahH3063 prevailedH1396 above his brethrenH251, and of him came the chief rulerH5057; but the birthrightH1062 was Joseph'sH3130:) {chief…: or, prince}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; ThisH1454 shall be the borderH1366, whereby ye shall inheritH5157 the landH776 according to the twelveH8147+H6240 tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478: JosephH3130 shall have two portionsH2256.
And his fatherH1 refusedH3985, and saidH559, I knowH3045 it, my sonH1121, I knowH3045 it: he also shall become a peopleH5971, and he also shall be greatH1431: but trulyH199 his youngerH6996 brotherH251 shall be greaterH1431 than he, and his seedH2233 shall become a multitudeH4393 of nationsH1471. {multitude: Heb. fulness}
BenjaminH1144 shall ravinH2963 as a wolfH2061: in the morningH1242 he shall devourH398 the preyH5706, and at nightH6153 he shall divideH2505 the spoilH7998.
And it came to pass in those daysH3117, when there was no kingH4428 in IsraelH3478, that there was a certainH376 LeviteH3881 sojourningH1481 on the sideH3411 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, who tookH3947 to him a concubineH802+H6370 out of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063. {a concubine: Heb. a woman a concubine, or, a wife a concubine}
And his concubineH6370 played the whoreH2181 against him, and went awayH3212 from him unto her father'sH1 houseH1004 to BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, and was there fourH702 whole monthsH2320+H3117. {four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months}
And her husbandH376 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 afterH310 her, to speakH1696 friendlyH3820 unto her, and to bring her againH7725, having his servantH5288 with him, and a coupleH6776 of assesH2543: and she broughtH935 him into her father'sH1 houseH1004: and when the fatherH1 of the damselH5291 sawH7200 him, he rejoicedH8055 to meetH7125 him. {friendly…: Heb. to her heart}
And his father in lawH2859, the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1, retainedH2388 him; and he abodeH3427 with him threeH7969 daysH3117: so they did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and lodgedH3885 there.
And it came to pass on the fourthH7243 dayH3117, when they arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, that he rose upH6965 to departH3212: and the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559 unto his son in lawH2860, ComfortH5582 thine heartH3820 with a morselH6595 of breadH3899, and afterwardH310 go your wayH3212. {Comfort: Heb. Strengthen}
And they sat downH3427, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162: for the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1 had saidH559 unto the manH376, Be contentH2974, I pray thee, and tarry all nightH3885, and let thine heartH3820 be merryH3190.
And when the manH376 rose upH6965 to departH3212, his father in lawH2859 urgedH6484 him: therefore he lodgedH3885 there againH7725.
And he arose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 on the fifthH2549 dayH3117 to departH3212: and the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1 saidH559, ComfortH5582 thine heartH3824, I pray thee. And they tarriedH4102 until afternoonH3117+H5186, and they did eatH398 bothH8147 of them. {until afternoon: Heb. till the day declined}
And when the manH376 rose upH6965 to departH3212, he, and his concubineH6370, and his servantH5288, his father in lawH2859, the damsel'sH5291 fatherH1, saidH559 unto him, Behold, now the dayH3117 drawethH7503 toward eveningH6150, I pray you tarry all nightH3885: behold, the dayH3117 groweth to an endH2583, lodgeH3885 here, that thine heartH3824 may be merryH3190; and to morrowH4279 get you earlyH7925 on your wayH1870, that thou mayest goH1980 homeH168. {draweth: Heb. is weak} {the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day} {home: Heb. to thy tent}
But the manH376 wouldH14 not tarry that nightH3885, but he rose upH6965 and departedH3212, and cameH935 over againstH5227 JebusH2982, which is JerusalemH3389; and there were with him twoH6776 assesH2543 saddledH2280, his concubineH6370 also was with him. {over against: Heb. to over against}
And when they were by JebusH2982, the dayH3117 was farH3966 spentH7286; and the servantH5288 saidH559 unto his masterH113, ComeH3212, I pray thee, and let us turn inH5493 into this cityH5892 of the JebusitesH2983, and lodgeH3885 in it.
And his masterH113 saidH559 unto him, We will not turn asideH5493 hither into the cityH5892 of a strangerH5237, that is not of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; we will pass overH5674 to GibeahH1390.
And he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, ComeH3212, and let us draw nearH7126 to oneH259 of these placesH4725 to lodge all nightH3885, in GibeahH1390, or in RamahH7414.
And they passed onH5674 and went their wayH3212; and the sunH8121 went downH935 upon them when they were byH681 GibeahH1390, which belongeth to BenjaminH1144.
And they turned asideH5493 thither, to go inH935 and to lodgeH3885 in GibeahH1390: and when he went inH935, he sat him downH3427 in a streetH7339 of the cityH5892: for there was no manH376 that tookH622 them into his houseH1004 to lodgingH3885.
And, behold, there cameH935 an oldH2205 manH376 from his workH4639 out of the fieldH7704 at evenH6153, which was alsoH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; and he sojournedH1481 in GibeahH1390: but the menH582 of the placeH4725 were BenjamitesH1145.
And when he had lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, he sawH7200 a wayfaringH732 manH376 in the streetH7339 of the cityH5892: and the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, Whither goestH3212 thou? and whenceH370 comestH935 thou?
And he saidH559 unto him, We are passingH5674 from BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 toward the sideH3411 of mountH2022 EphraimH669; from thence am I: and I wentH3212 to BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, but I am now goingH1980 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; and there is no manH376 that receivethH622 me to houseH1004. {receiveth: Heb. gathereth}
Yet there isH3426 both strawH8401 and provenderH4554 for our assesH2543; and there is breadH3899 and wineH3196 also for me, and for thy handmaidH519, and for the young manH5288 which is with thy servantsH5650: there is no wantH4270 of any thingH1697.
And the oldH2205 manH376 saidH559, PeaceH7965 be with thee; howsoeverH7535 let all thy wantsH4270 lie upon me; only lodgeH3885 not in the streetH7339.
So he broughtH935 him into his houseH1004, and gave provenderH1101 unto the assesH2543: and they washedH7364 their feetH7272, and did eatH398 and drinkH8354.
Now as they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, behold, the menH582 of the cityH5892, certainH582 sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437, and beatH1849 at the doorH1817, and spakeH559 to the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thine houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
And the manH376, the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, went outH3318 unto them, and saidH559 unto them, NayH408, my brethrenH251, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedlyH7489; seeingH310 that this manH376 is comeH935 into mine houseH1004, doH6213 not this follyH5039.
Behold, here is my daughterH1323 a maidenH1330, and his concubineH6370; them I will bring outH3318 now, and humbleH6031 ye them, and doH6213 with them what seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto you: but unto this manH376 doH6213 not soH2063 vileH5039 a thingH1697. {so vile…: Heb. the matter of this folly}
But the menH582 wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 to him: so the manH376 tookH2388 his concubineH6370, and broughtH3318 her forthH2351 unto them; and they knewH3045 her, and abusedH5953 her all the nightH3915 until the morningH1242: and when the dayH7837 began to springH5927, they let her goH7971.
Then cameH935 the womanH802 in the dawningH6437 of the dayH1242, and fell downH5307 at the doorH6607 of the man'sH376 houseH1004 where her lordH113 was, till it was lightH216.
And her lordH113 rose upH6965 in the morningH1242, and openedH6605 the doorsH1817 of the houseH1004, and went outH3318 to goH3212 his wayH1870: and, behold, the womanH802 his concubineH6370 was fallen downH5307 at the doorH6607 of the houseH1004, and her handsH3027 were upon the thresholdH5592.
And he saidH559 unto her, UpH6965, and let us be goingH3212. But none answeredH6030. Then the manH376 tookH3947 her up upon an assH2543, and the manH376 rose upH6965, and gatH3212 him unto his placeH4725.
And when he was comeH935 into his houseH1004, he tookH3947 a knifeH3979, and laid holdH2388 on his concubineH6370, and dividedH5408 her, together with her bonesH6106, into twelveH8147+H6240 piecesH5409, and sentH7971 her into all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478.
And it was soH1961, that all that sawH7200 it saidH559, There was no such deedH2063 done nor seenH7200 from the dayH3117 that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto this dayH3117: considerH7760 of it, take adviceH5779, and speakH1696 your minds.
Then there aroseH6965 and went overH5674 by numberH4557 twelveH8147+H6240 of BenjaminH1144, which pertained to IshboshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH8147+H6240 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.
And they caughtH2388 every oneH376 his fellowH7453 by the headH7218, and thrust his swordH2719 in his fellow'sH7453 sideH6654; so they fell downH5307 togetherH3162: wherefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 HelkathhazzurimH2521, which is in GibeonH1391. {Helkathhazzurim: that is, The field of strong men}
And the sonsH1121 of UlamH198 were mightyH1368 menH582 of valourH2428, archersH1869+H7198, and had manyH7235 sonsH1121, and sons'H1121 sonsH1121, an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572. All these are of the sonsH1121 of BenjaminH1144.
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.
And of BenjaminH1144; EliadaH450 a mighty manH1368 of valourH2428, and with him armed menH5401 with bowH7198 and shieldH4043 two hundredH3967 thousandH505.
But when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068, the LORDH3068 raised them upH6965 a delivererH3467, EhudH164 the sonH1121 of GeraH1617, a BenjamiteH1145, a manH376 lefthandedH334+H3225: and by himH3027 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 a presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124. {a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand}
But EhudH164 madeH6213 him a daggerH2719 which had twoH8147 edgesH6366, of a cubitH1574 lengthH753; and he did girdH2296 it under his raimentH4055 upon his rightH3225 thighH3409.
And he broughtH7126 the presentH4503 unto EglonH5700 kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and EglonH5700 was a veryH3966 fatH1277 manH376.
And when he had made an endH3615 to offerH7126 the presentH4503, he sent awayH7971 the peopleH5971 that bareH5375 the presentH4503.
But he himself turned againH7725 from the quarriesH6456 that were by GilgalH1537, and saidH559, I have a secretH5643 errandH1697 unto thee, O kingH4428: who saidH559, Keep silenceH2013. And all that stoodH5975 by him went outH3318 from him. {quarries: or, graven images}
And EhudH164 cameH935 unto him; and he was sittingH3427 in a summerH4747 parlourH5944, which he had for himself alone. And EhudH164 saidH559, I have a messageH1697 from GodH430 unto thee. And he aroseH6965 out of his seatH3678. {a summer…: Heb. a parlour of cooling}
And EhudH164 put forthH7971 his leftH8040 handH3027, and tookH3947 the daggerH2719 from his rightH3225 thighH3409, and thrustH8628 it into his bellyH990:
And the haftH5325 also went inH935 afterH310 the bladeH3851; and the fatH2459 closedH5462 uponH1157 the bladeH3851, so that he could not drawH8025 the daggerH2719 out of his bellyH990; and the dirtH6574 came outH3318. {the dirt…: or, it came out at the buttocks}
Then EhudH164 went forthH3318 through the porchH4528, and shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the parlourH5944 upon him, and lockedH5274 them.
Now there was a manH376 of BenjaminH1144, whose nameH8034 was KishH7027, the sonH1121 of AbielH22, the sonH1121 of ZerorH6872, the sonH1121 of BechorathH1064, the sonH1121 of AphiahH647, a BenjamiteH1145, a mightyH1368 manH376 of powerH2428. {a Benjamite: or, the son of a man of Jemini} {power: or, substance}
And he had a sonH1121, whose nameH8034 was SaulH7586, a choice young manH970, and a goodlyH2896: and there was not among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 a goodlierH2896 personH376 than he: from his shouldersH7926 and upwardH4605 he was higherH1364 than any of the peopleH5971.
And when Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 heardH8085 that AbnerH74 was deadH4191 in HebronH2275, his handsH3027 were feebleH7503, and all the IsraelitesH3478 were troubledH926.
And Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 hadH1961 twoH8147 menH582 that were captainsH8269 of bandsH1416: the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was BaanahH1196, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RechabH7394, the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 a BeerothiteH886, of the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144: (for BeerothH881 also was reckonedH2803 to BenjaminH1144: {other: Heb. second}
And the BeerothitesH886 fledH1272 to GittaimH1664, and were sojournersH1481 there until this dayH3117.)
And JonathanH3083, Saul'sH7586 sonH1121, had a sonH1121 that was lameH5223 of his feetH7272. He was fiveH2568 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when the tidingsH8052 cameH935 of SaulH7586 and JonathanH3083 out of JezreelH3157, and his nurseH539 took him upH5375, and fledH5127: and it came to pass, as she made hasteH2648 to fleeH5127, that he fellH5307, and became lameH6452. And his nameH8034 was MephiboshethH4648. {Mephibosheth: or, Meribbaal}
And the sonsH1121 of RimmonH7417 the BeerothiteH886, RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196, wentH3212, and cameH935 about the heatH2527 of the dayH3117 to the houseH1004 of IshboshethH378, who layH7901 on a bedH4904 at noonH6672.
And they came thitherH935 into the midstH8432 of the houseH1004, as though they would have fetchedH3947 wheatH2406; and they smoteH5221 him under the fifthH2570 rib: and RechabH7394 and BaanahH1196 his brotherH251 escapedH4422.
CircumcisedG4061 the eighthG3637 day, ofG1537 the stockG1085 of IsraelG2474, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958, an HebrewG1445 ofG1537 the HebrewsG1445; as touchingG2596 the lawG3551, a PhariseeG5330;
Who is this that comethH935 from EdomH123, with dyedH2556 garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is gloriousH1921 in his apparelH3830, travellingH6808 in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mightyH7227 to saveH3467. {glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparelH3830, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadethH1869 in the winefatH1660?
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
