StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
And he tarriedH3176+H3176 sevenH7651 daysH3117, according to the set timeH4150 that SamuelH8050 had appointed: but SamuelH8050 cameH935 not to GilgalH1537; and the peopleH5971 were scatteredH6327 from him.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, Bring hitherH5066 a burnt offeringH5930 to me, and peace offeringsH8002. And he offeredH5927 the burnt offeringH5930.
And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927 the burnt offeringH5930, behold, SamuelH8050 cameH935; and SaulH7586 went outH3318 to meetH7125 him, that he might saluteH1288 him. {salute: Heb. bless}
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What hast thou doneH6213? And SaulH7586 saidH559, Because I sawH7200 that the peopleH5971 were scatteredH5310 from me, and that thou camestH935 not within the daysH3117 appointedH4150, and that the PhilistinesH6430 gathered themselves togetherH622 at MichmashH4363;
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
SamuelH8050 also saidH559 unto SaulH7586, The LORDH3068 sentH7971 me to anointH4886 thee to be kingH4428 over his peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: now therefore hearkenH8085 thou unto the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I rememberH6485 that which AmalekH6002 didH6213 to IsraelH3478, how he laidH7760 wait for him in the wayH1870, when he came upH5927 from EgyptH4714.
Now goH3212 and smiteH5221 AmalekH6002, and utterly destroyH2763 all that they have, and spareH2550 them not; but slayH4191 both manH376 and womanH802, infantH5768 and sucklingH3243, oxH7794 and sheepH7716, camelH1581 and assH2543.
And SaulH7586 gatheredH8085 the peopleH5971 togetherH8085, and numberedH6485 them in TelaimH2923, two hundredH3967 thousandH505 footmenH7273, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of JudahH3063.
And SaulH7586 cameH935 to a cityH5892 of AmalekH6002, and laid waitH7378+H693 in the valleyH5158. {laid…: or, fought}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the KenitesH7017, GoH3212, departH5493, get you downH3381 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6002, lest I destroyH622 you with them: for ye shewedH6213 kindnessH2617 to all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came upH5927 out of EgyptH4714. So the KenitesH7017 departedH5493 from amongH8432 the AmalekitesH6003.
And SaulH7586 smoteH5221 the AmalekitesH6002 from HavilahH2341 until thou comestH935 to ShurH7793, that is over againstH6440 EgyptH4714.
And he tookH8610 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002 aliveH2416, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But SaulH7586 and the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 AgagH90, and the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629, and of the oxenH1241, and of the fatlingsH4932, and the lambsH3733, and all that was goodH2896, and wouldH14 not utterly destroyH2763 them: but every thingH4399 that was vileH5240 and refuseH4549, that they destroyed utterlyH2763. {fatlings: or, second sort}
Then came the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto SamuelH8050, sayingH559,
It repentethH5162 me that I have set upH4427 SaulH7586 to be kingH4428: for he is turned backH7725 from followingH310 me, and hath not performedH6965 my commandmentsH1697. And it grievedH2734 SamuelH8050; and he criedH2199 unto the LORDH3068 all nightH3915.
And when SamuelH8050 rose earlyH7925 to meetH7125 SaulH7586 in the morningH1242, it was toldH5046 SamuelH8050, sayingH559, SaulH7586 cameH935 to CarmelH3760, and, behold, he set him upH5324 a placeH3027, and is gone aboutH5437, and passed onH5674, and gone downH3381 to GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 cameH935 to SaulH7586: and SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, BlessedH1288 be thou of the LORDH3068: I have performedH6965 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, What meaneth then this bleatingH6963 of the sheepH6629 in mine earsH241, and the lowingH6963 of the oxenH1241 which I hearH8085?
And SaulH7586 saidH559, They have broughtH935 them from the AmalekitesH6003: for the peopleH5971 sparedH2550 the bestH4315 of the sheepH6629 and of the oxenH1241, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430; and the restH3498 we have utterly destroyedH2763.
Then SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, StayH7503, and I will tellH5046 thee what the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696 to me this nightH3915. And he saidH559 unto him, Say onH1696.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, When thou wast littleH6996 in thine own sightH5869, wast thou not made the headH7218 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, and the LORDH3068 anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478?
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 thee on a journeyH1870, and saidH559, GoH3212 and utterly destroyH2763 the sinnersH2400 the AmalekitesH6002, and fightH3898 against them until they be consumedH3615. {they…: Heb. they consume them}
Wherefore then didst thou not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but didst flyH5860 upon the spoilH7998, and didstH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Yea, I have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, and have goneH3212 the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 sentH7971 me, and have broughtH935 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have utterly destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002.
But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chiefH7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyedH2764, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, I have sinnedH2398: for I have transgressedH5674 the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068, and thy wordsH1697: because I fearedH3372 the peopleH5971, and obeyedH8085 their voiceH6963.
Now therefore, I pray thee, pardonH5375 my sinH2403, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I will not returnH7725 with thee: for thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428 over IsraelH3478.
And as SamuelH8050 turned aboutH5437 to go awayH3212, he laid holdH2388 upon the skirtH3671 of his mantleH4598, and it rentH7167.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath rentH7167 the kingdomH4468 of IsraelH3478 from thee this dayH3117, and hath givenH5414 it to a neighbourH7453 of thine, that is betterH2896 than thou.
And also the StrengthH5331 of IsraelH3478 will not lieH8266 nor repentH5162: for he is not a manH120, that he should repentH5162. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}
Then he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398: yet honourH3513 me now, I pray thee, before the eldersH2205 of my peopleH5971, and before IsraelH3478, and turn againH7725 with me, that I may worshipH7812 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
So SamuelH8050 turned againH7725 afterH310 SaulH7586; and SaulH7586 worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068.
Then saidH559 SamuelH8050, Bring ye hitherH5066 to me AgagH90 the kingH4428 of the AmalekitesH6002. And AgagH90 cameH3212 unto him delicatelyH4574. And AgagH90 saidH559, SurelyH403 the bitternessH4751 of deathH4194 is pastH5493.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, As thy swordH2719 hath made womenH802 childlessH7921, so shall thy motherH517 be childlessH7921 among womenH802. And SamuelH8050 hewedH8158 AgagH90 in piecesH8158 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 in GilgalH1537.
Then SamuelH8050 wentH3212 to RamahH7414; and SaulH7586 went upH5927 to his houseH1004 to GibeahH1390 of SaulH7586.
And SamuelH8050 came no moreH3254 to seeH7200 SaulH7586 until the dayH3117 of his deathH4194: neverthelessH3588 SamuelH8050 mournedH56 for SaulH7586: and the LORDH3068 repentedH5162 that he had made SaulH7586 kingH4427 over IsraelH3478.
Wherefore then didst thou not obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, but didst flyH5860 upon the spoilH7998, and didstH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068?
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto SamuelH8050, Yea, I have obeyedH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068, and have goneH3212 the wayH1870 which the LORDH3068 sentH7971 me, and have broughtH935 AgagH90 the kingH4428 of AmalekH6002, and have utterly destroyedH2763 the AmalekitesH6002.
But the peopleH5971 tookH3947 of the spoilH7998, sheepH6629 and oxenH1241, the chiefH7225 of the things which should have been utterly destroyedH2764, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in GilgalH1537.
And SamuelH8050 saidH559, Hath the LORDH3068 as great delightH2656 in burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077, as in obeyingH8085 the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068? Behold, to obeyH8085 is betterH2896 than sacrificeH2077, and to hearkenH7181 than the fatH2459 of ramsH352.
For rebellionH4805 is as the sinH2403 of witchcraftH7081, and stubbornnessH6484 is as iniquityH205 and idolatryH8655. Because thou hast rejectedH3988 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, he hath also rejectedH3988 thee from being kingH4428. {witchcraft: Heb. divination}
RememberH2142 what AmalekH6002 didH6213 unto thee by the wayH1870, when ye were come forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714;
How he metH7136 thee by the wayH1870, and smote the hindmostH2179 of thee, even all that were feebleH2826 behindH310 thee, when thou wast faintH5889 and wearyH3023; and he fearedH3373 not GodH430.
Therefore it shall be, when the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath given thee restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341 round aboutH5439, in the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159 to possessH3423 it, that thou shalt blot outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064; thou shalt not forgetH7911 it.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
And she cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3515 trainH2428, with camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and veryH3966 muchH7227 goldH2091, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.
And SolomonH8010 toldH5046 her all her questionsH1697: there was not any thingH1697 hidH5956 from the kingH4428, which he toldH5046 her not. {questions: Heb. words}
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 had seenH7200 all Solomon'sH8010 wisdomH2451, and the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129,
And the meatH3978 of his tableH7979, and the sittingH4186 of his servantsH5650, and the attendanceH4612 of his ministersH8334, and their apparelH4403, and his cupbearersH8248, and his ascentH5930 by which he went upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; there was no more spiritH7307 in her. {attendance: Heb. standing} {cupbearers: or, butlers}
And she saidH559 to the kingH4428, It was a trueH571 reportH1697 that I heardH8085 in mine own landH776 of thy actsH1697 and of thy wisdomH2451. {report: Heb. word} {acts: or, sayings}
Howbeit I believedH539 not the wordsH1697, until I cameH935, and mine eyesH5869 had seenH7200 it: and, behold, the halfH2677 was not toldH5046 me: thy wisdomH2451 and prosperityH2896 exceedethH3254 the fameH8052 which I heardH8085. {thy…: Heb. thou hast added wisdom and goodness to}
HappyH835 are thy menH582, happyH835 are these thy servantsH5650, which standH5975 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 thee, and that hearH8085 thy wisdomH2451.
BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, which delightedH2654 in thee, to setH5414 thee on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478: because the LORDH3068 lovedH160 IsraelH3478 for everH5769, therefore madeH7760 he thee kingH4428, to doH6213 judgmentH4941 and justiceH6666.
And she gaveH5414 the kingH4428 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, and of spicesH1314 veryH3966 great storeH7235, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: there cameH935 no more suchH1931 abundanceH7230 of spicesH1314 as these which the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 gaveH5414 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010.
And the navyH590 also of HiramH2438, that broughtH5375 goldH2091 from OphirH211, brought inH935 from OphirH211 greatH3966 plentyH7235 of almugH484 treesH6086, and preciousH3368 stonesH68.
And the kingH4428 madeH6213 of the almugH484 treesH6086 pillarsH4552 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and for the king'sH4428 houseH1004, harpsH3658 also and psalteriesH5035 for singersH7891: there cameH935 no such almugH484 treesH6086, nor were seenH7200 unto this dayH3117. {pillars: or, rails: Heb. a prop}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 unto the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 all her desireH2656, whatsoever she askedH7592, beside that which SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 her of his royalH4428 bountyH3027. So she turnedH6437 and wentH3212 to her own countryH776, she and her servantsH5650. {of his…: Heb. according to the hand of king Solomon}
Now the weightH4948 of goldH2091 that cameH935 to SolomonH8010 in oneH259 yearH8141 was sixH8337 hundredH3967 threescoreH8346 and sixH8337 talentsH3603 of goldH2091,
Beside that he had of the merchantmenH582+H8446, and of the traffickH4536 of the spice merchantsH7402, and of all the kingsH4428 of ArabiaH6153, and of the governorsH6346 of the countryH776. {governors: or, captains}
And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 madeH6213 two hundredH3967 targetsH6793 of beatenH7820 goldH2091: sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 targetH6793.
And he made threeH7969 hundredH3967 shieldsH4043 of beatenH7820 goldH2091; threeH7969 poundH4488 of goldH2091 wentH5927 to oneH259 shieldH4043: and the kingH4428 putH5414 them in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844.
Moreover the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 throneH3678 of ivoryH8127, and overlaidH6823 it with the bestH6338 goldH2091.
The throneH3678 had sixH8337 stepsH4609, and the topH7218 of the throneH3678 was roundH5696 behindH310: and there were staysH3027 on either side on the placeH4725 of the seatH7675, and twoH8147 lionsH738 stoodH5975 besideH681 the staysH3027. {behind: Heb. on the hinder part thereof} {stays: Heb. hands}
And twelveH8147+H6240 lionsH738 stoodH5975 there on the one side and on the other upon the sixH8337 stepsH4609: there was not the likeH3651 madeH6213 in any kingdomH4467. {the like: Heb. so}
And all kingH4428 Solomon'sH8010 drinkingH4945 vesselsH3627 were of goldH2091, and all the vesselsH3627 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293 of LebanonH3844 were of pureH5462 goldH2091; none were of silverH3701: it was nothingH3972 accountedH2803 of in the daysH3117 of SolomonH8010. {none…: or, there was no silver in them}
For the kingH4428 had at seaH3220 a navyH590 of TharshishH8659 with the navyH590 of HiramH2438: onceH259 in threeH7969 yearsH8141 cameH935 the navyH590 of TharshishH8659, bringingH5375 goldH2091, and silverH3701, ivoryH8143, and apesH6971, and peacocksH8500. {ivory: or, elephants' teeth}
So kingH4428 SolomonH8010 exceededH1431 all the kingsH4428 of the earthH776 for richesH6239 and for wisdomH2451.
And all the earthH776 soughtH1245 toH6440 SolomonH8010, to hearH8085 his wisdomH2451, which GodH430 had putH5414 in his heartH3820. {sought to: Heb. sought the face of}
And they broughtH935 every manH376 his presentH4503, vesselsH3627 of silverH3701, and vesselsH3627 of goldH2091, and garmentsH8008, and armourH5402, and spicesH1314, horsesH5483, and mulesH6505, a rateH1697 yearH8141 by yearH8141.
And SolomonH8010 gathered togetherH622 chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571: and he had a thousandH505 and fourH702 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393, and twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505 horsemenH6571, whom he bestowedH5148 in the citiesH5892 for chariotsH7393, and with the kingH4428 at JerusalemH3389.
And the kingH4428 madeH5414 silverH3701 to be in JerusalemH3389 as stonesH68, and cedarsH730 madeH5414 he to be as the sycomore treesH8256 that are in the valeH8219, for abundanceH7230. {made: Heb. gave}
And SolomonH8010 had horsesH5483 broughtH4161 out of EgyptH4714, and linen yarnH4723: the king'sH4428 merchantsH5503 receivedH3947 the linen yarnH4723 at a priceH4242. {And Solomon…: Heb. And the going forth of the horses which was Solomon's}
And a chariotH4818 came upH5927 and went outH3318 of EgyptH4714 for sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekels of silverH3701, and an horseH5483 for an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572: and so for all the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and for the kingsH4428 of SyriaH758, did they bring them outH3318 by their meansH3027. {by their…: Heb. by their hand}
Now I have preparedH3559 with all my mightH3581 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430 the goldH2091 for things to be made of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and the brassH5178 for things of brassH5178, the ironH1270 for things of ironH1270, and woodH6086 for things of woodH6086; onyxH7718 stonesH68, and stones to be setH4394, glisteringH6320 stonesH68, and of divers coloursH7553, and all manner of preciousH3368 stonesH68, and marbleH7893 stonesH68 in abundanceH7230.
Moreover, because I have set my affectionH7521 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, I haveH3426 of mine own proper goodH5459, of goldH2091 and silverH3701, which I have givenH5414 to the houseH1004 of my GodH430, over and aboveH4605 all that I have preparedH3559 for the holyH6944 houseH1004,
Even threeH7969 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of goldH2091, of the goldH2091 of OphirH211, and sevenH7651 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of refinedH2212 silverH3701, to overlayH2902 the wallsH7023 of the housesH1004 withal:
The goldH2091 for things of goldH2091, and the silverH3701 for things of silverH3701, and for all manner of workH4399 to be made by the handsH3027 of artificersH2796. And who then is willingH5068 to consecrateH4390 his serviceH3027 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068? {consecrate his service: Heb. fill his hand}
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}
Thou shalt not sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 any bullockH7794, or sheepH7716, wherein is blemishH3971, or any evilfavourednessH7451+H1697: for that is an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. {sheep: or, goat}
If there be foundH4672 amongH7130 you, within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, manH376 or womanH802, that hath wroughtH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in transgressingH5674 his covenantH1285,
And hath goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, either the sunH8121, or moonH3394, or any of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, which I have not commandedH6680;
And it be toldH5046 thee, and thou hast heardH8085 of it, and enquiredH1875 diligentlyH3190, and, behold, it be trueH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that such abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478:
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 that manH376 or that womanH802, which have committedH6213 that wickedH7451 thingH1697, unto thy gatesH8179, even that manH376 or that womanH802, and shalt stoneH5619 them with stonesH68, till they dieH4191.
At the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall he that is worthy of deathH4191 be put to deathH4191; but at the mouthH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707 he shall not be put to deathH4191.
The handsH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 upon him to put him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971. So thou shalt putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
And all the peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and do no more presumptuouslyH2102.
When thou art comeH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like as all the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
Thou shalt in any wiseH7760 setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee, whom the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977: one from amongH7130 thy brethrenH251 shalt thou setH7760 kingH4428 over thee: thou mayestH3201 not setH5414 a strangerH5237+H376 over thee, which is not thy brotherH251.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neither shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
Thou shalt not sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 any bullockH7794, or sheepH7716, wherein is blemishH3971, or any evilfavourednessH7451+H1697: for that is an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430. {sheep: or, goat}
If there be foundH4672 amongH7130 you, within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, manH376 or womanH802, that hath wroughtH6213 wickednessH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, in transgressingH5674 his covenantH1285,
And hath goneH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, either the sunH8121, or moonH3394, or any of the hostH6635 of heavenH8064, which I have not commandedH6680;
And it be toldH5046 thee, and thou hast heardH8085 of it, and enquiredH1875 diligentlyH3190, and, behold, it be trueH571, and the thingH1697 certainH3559, that such abominationH8441 is wroughtH6213 in IsraelH3478:
Then shalt thou bring forthH3318 that manH376 or that womanH802, which have committedH6213 that wickedH7451 thingH1697, unto thy gatesH8179, even that manH376 or that womanH802, and shalt stoneH5619 them with stonesH68, till they dieH4191.
At the mouthH6310 of twoH8147 witnessesH5707, or threeH7969 witnessesH5707, shall he that is worthy of deathH4191 be put to deathH4191; but at the mouthH6310 of oneH259 witnessH5707 he shall not be put to deathH4191.
The handsH3027 of the witnessesH5707 shall be firstH7223 upon him to put him to deathH4191, and afterwardH314 the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971. So thou shalt putH1197 the evilH7451 awayH1197 from amongH7130 you.
If there arise a matterH1697 too hardH6381 for thee in judgmentH4941, between bloodH1818 and bloodH1818, between pleaH1779 and pleaH1779, and between strokeH5061 and strokeH5061, being mattersH1697 of controversyH7379 within thy gatesH8179: then shalt thou ariseH6965, and get thee upH5927 into the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977;
And thou shalt comeH935 unto the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, and unto the judgeH8199 that shall be in those daysH3117, and enquireH1875; and they shall shewH5046 thee the sentenceH1697 of judgmentH4941:
And thou shalt doH6213 according to the sentenceH6310+H1697, which they of that placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 shall shewH5046 thee; and thou shalt observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that they informH3384 thee:
According to the sentenceH6310 of the lawH8451 which they shall teachH3384 thee, and according to the judgmentH4941 which they shall tellH559 thee, thou shalt doH6213: thou shalt not declineH5493 from the sentenceH1697 which they shall shewH5046 thee, to the right handH3225, nor to the leftH8040.
And the manH376 that will doH6213 presumptuouslyH2087, and will not hearkenH8085 unto the priestH3548 that standethH5975 to ministerH8334 there before the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, or unto the judgeH8199, even that manH376 shall dieH4191: and thou shalt put awayH1197 the evilH7451 from IsraelH3478. {and will…: Heb. not to hearken}
And all the peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and fearH3372, and do no more presumptuouslyH2102.
When thou art comeH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee, and shalt possessH3423 it, and shalt dwellH3427 therein, and shalt sayH559, I will setH7760 a kingH4428 over me, like as all the nationsH1471 that are aboutH5439 me;
Thou shalt in any wiseH7760 setH7760 him kingH4428 over thee, whom the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977: one from amongH7130 thy brethrenH251 shalt thou setH7760 kingH4428 over thee: thou mayestH3201 not setH5414 a strangerH5237+H376 over thee, which is not thy brotherH251.
But he shall not multiplyH7235 horsesH5483 to himself, nor cause the peopleH5971 to returnH7725 to EgyptH4714, to the end that he should multiplyH7235 horsesH5483: forasmuch as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto you, Ye shall henceforthH3254 returnH7725 no more that wayH1870.
Neither shall he multiplyH7235 wivesH802 to himself, that his heartH3824 turnH5493 not away: neither shall he greatlyH3966 multiplyH7235 to himself silverH3701 and goldH2091.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
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.
WhereforeG1352 come outG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846, andG2532 be ye separateG873, saithG3004 the LordG2962, andG2532 touchG680 notG3361 the uncleanG169 thing; andG2504 I will receiveG1523 youG5209,
AndG2532 will beG2071+G1519 a FatherG3962 unto youG5213, andG2532 yeG5210 shall beG2071 myG3427 sonsG5207+G1519 andG2532 daughtersG2364, saithG3004 the LordG2962 AlmightyG3841.
It is reportedG191 commonlyG3654 that there is fornicationG4202 amongG1722 youG5213, andG2532 suchG5108 fornicationG4202 asG3748 isG3687 not so muchG3761 as namedG3687 amongG1722 the GentilesG1484, thatG5620 oneG5100 should haveG2192 his father'sG3962 wifeG1135.
AndG2532 yeG5210 areG2075 puffed upG5448, andG2532 haveG3996 notG3780 ratherG3123 mournedG3996, thatG2443 he that hath doneG4160 thisG5124 deedG2041 might be taken awayG1808 fromG1537 amongG3319 youG5216.
ForG1063 IG1473 verilyG3303, asG5613 absentG548 in bodyG4983, butG1161 presentG3918 in spiritG4151, have judgedG2919 alreadyG2235, asG5613 though I were presentG3918, concerning him that hathG2716 soG3779 doneG2716 this deedG5124, {judged: or, determined}
InG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, when yeG5216 are gathered togetherG4863, andG2532 myG1699 spiritG4151, withG4862 the powerG1411 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
To deliverG3860 such an oneG5108 unto SatanG4567 forG1519 the destructionG3639 of the fleshG4561, thatG2443 the spiritG4151 may be savedG4982 inG1722 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.
YourG5216 gloryingG2745 is notG3756 goodG2570. Know yeG1492 notG3756 thatG3754 a littleG3398 leavenG2219 leavenethG2220 the wholeG3650 lumpG5445?
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 inG1722 an epistleG1992 notG3361 to companyG4874 with fornicatorsG4205:
YetG2532 notG3756 altogetherG3843 with the fornicatorsG4205 of thisG5127 worldG2889, orG2228 with the covetousG4123, orG2228 extortionersG727, orG2228 with idolatersG1496; forG1893 thenG686 must ye needsG3784 goG1831 out ofG1537 the worldG2889.
ButG1161 nowG3570 I have writtenG1125 unto youG5213 notG3361 to keep companyG4874, ifG1437 any manG5100 that is calledG3687 a brotherG80 beG2228 a fornicatorG4205, orG2228 covetousG4123, orG2228 an idolaterG1496, orG2228 a railerG3060, orG2228 a drunkardG3183, orG2228 an extortionerG727; with such an oneG5108 no notG3366 to eatG4906.
ForG1063 whatG5101 have IG3427 to do to judgeG2919 them alsoG2532 that are withoutG1854? doG2919 notG3780 yeG5210 judgeG2919 them that are withinG2080?
ButG1161 them that are withoutG1854 GodG2316 judgethG2919. ThereforeG2532 put awayG1808 fromG1537 among yourselvesG5216 thatG846 wicked personG4190.
And, behold, there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 out of JudahH3063 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 unto BethelH1008: and JeroboamH3379 stoodH5975 by the altarH4196 to burn incenseH6999. {burn: or, offer}
And he criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559, O altarH4196, altarH4196, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, a childH1121 shall be bornH3205 unto the houseH1004 of DavidH1732, JosiahH2977 by nameH8034; and upon thee shall he offerH2076 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 that burn incenseH6999 upon thee, and men'sH120 bonesH6106 shall be burntH8313 upon thee.
And he gaveH5414 a signH4159 the same dayH3117, sayingH559, This is the signH4159 which the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696; Behold, the altarH4196 shall be rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 that are upon it shall be poured outH8210.
And it came to pass, when kingH4428 JeroboamH3379 heardH8085 the sayingH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430, which had criedH7121 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, that he put forthH7971 his handH3027 from the altarH4196, sayingH559, Lay holdH8610 on him. And his handH3027, which he put forthH7971 against him, dried upH3001, so that he couldH3201 not pull it in againH7725 to him.
The altarH4196 also was rentH7167, and the ashesH1880 poured outH8210 from the altarH4196, according to the signH4159 which the manH376 of GodH430 had givenH5414 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And the kingH4428 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the manH376 of GodH430, IntreatH2470 now the faceH6440 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and prayH6419 for me, that my handH3027 may be restored me againH7725. And the manH376 of GodH430 besoughtH2470+H6440 the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 handH3027 was restored him againH7725, and became as it was beforeH7223. {the LORD, and: Heb. the face of the LORD, etc}
And the kingH4428 saidH1696 unto the manH376 of GodH430, ComeH935 homeH1004 with me, and refreshH5582 thyself, and I will giveH5414 thee a rewardH4991.
And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, If thou wilt giveH5414 me halfH2677 thine houseH1004, I will not go inH935 with thee, neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 in this placeH4725:
For so was it chargedH6680 me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, EatH398 no breadH3899, nor drinkH8354 waterH4325, nor turn againH7725 by the same wayH1870 that thou camestH1980.
So he wentH3212 anotherH312 wayH1870, and returnedH7725 not by the wayH1870 that he cameH935 to BethelH1008.
Now there dweltH3427 anH259 oldH2205 prophetH5030 in BethelH1008; and his sonsH1121 cameH935 and toldH5608 him all the worksH4639 that the manH376 of GodH430 had doneH6213 that dayH3117 in BethelH1008: the wordsH1697 which he had spokenH1696 unto the kingH4428, them they toldH5608 also to their fatherH1.
And their fatherH1 saidH1696 unto them, What wayH1870 wentH1980 he? For his sonsH1121 had seenH7200 whatH335 wayH1870 the manH376 of GodH430 wentH1980, which cameH935 from JudahH3063.
And he saidH559 unto his sonsH1121, SaddleH2280 me the assH2543. So they saddledH2280 him the assH2543: and he rodeH7392 thereon,
And wentH3212 afterH310 the manH376 of GodH430, and foundH4672 him sittingH3427 under an oakH424: and he saidH559 unto him, Art thou the manH376 of GodH430 that camestH935 from JudahH3063? And he saidH559, I am.
Then he saidH559 unto him, ComeH3212 homeH1004 with me, and eatH398 breadH3899.
And he saidH559, I mayH3201 not returnH7725 with thee, nor go inH935 with thee: neither will I eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 with thee in this placeH4725:
For it was saidH1697 to me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, Thou shalt eatH398 no breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325 there, nor turn againH7725 to goH3212 by the wayH1870 that thou camestH1980. {it…: Heb. a word was}
He saidH559 unto him, I am a prophetH5030 also as thou art; and an angelH4397 spakeH1696 unto me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Bring him backH7725 with thee into thine houseH1004, that he may eatH398 breadH3899 and drinkH8354 waterH4325. But he liedH3584 unto him.
So he went backH7725 with him, and did eatH398 breadH3899 in his houseH1004, and drankH8354 waterH4325.
And it came to pass, as they satH3427 at the tableH7979, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 that brought him backH7725:
And he criedH7121 unto the manH376 of GodH430 that cameH935 from JudahH3063, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Forasmuch asH3282 thou hast disobeyedH4784 the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068, and hast not keptH8104 the commandmentH4687 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 thee,
But camest backH7725, and hast eatenH398 breadH3899 and drunkH8354 waterH4325 in the placeH4725, of the which the LORD did sayH1696 to thee, EatH398 no breadH3899, and drinkH8354 no waterH4325; thy carcaseH5038 shall not comeH935 unto the sepulchreH6913 of thy fathersH1.
And it came to pass, afterH310 he had eatenH398 breadH3899, and afterH310 he had drunkH8354, that he saddledH2280 for him the assH2543, to wit, for the prophetH5030 whom he had brought backH7725.
And when he was goneH3212, a lionH738 metH4672 him by the wayH1870, and slewH4191 him: and his carcaseH5038 was castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the assH2543 stoodH5975 byH681 it, the lionH738 also stoodH5975 by the carcaseH5038.
And, behold, menH582 passed byH5674, and sawH7200 the carcaseH5038 castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the lionH738 standingH5975 byH681 the carcaseH5038: and they cameH935 and toldH1696 it in the cityH5892 where the oldH2205 prophetH5030 dweltH3427.
And when the prophetH5030 that brought him backH7725 from the wayH1870 heardH8085 thereof, he saidH559, It is the manH376 of GodH430, who was disobedientH4784 unto the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068: therefore the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 him unto the lionH738, which hath tornH7665 him, and slainH4191 him, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 unto him. {torn: Heb. broken}
And he spakeH1696 to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, SaddleH2280 me the assH2543. And they saddledH2280 him.
And he wentH3212 and foundH4672 his carcaseH5038 castH7993 in the wayH1870, and the assH2543 and the lionH738 standingH5975 byH681 the carcaseH5038: the lionH738 had not eatenH398 the carcaseH5038, nor tornH7665 the assH2543. {torn: Heb. broken}
And the prophetH5030 took upH5375 the carcaseH5038 of the manH376 of GodH430, and laidH3240 it upon the assH2543, and brought it backH7725: and the oldH2205 prophetH5030 cameH935 to the cityH5892, to mournH5594 and to buryH6912 him.
And he laidH3240 his carcaseH5038 in his own graveH6913; and they mournedH5594 over him, saying, AlasH1945, my brotherH251!
And it came to pass, afterH310 he had buriedH6912 him, that he spakeH559 to his sonsH1121, sayingH559, When I am deadH4191, then buryH6912 me in the sepulchreH6913 wherein the manH376 of GodH430 is buriedH6912; layH3240 my bonesH6106 besideH681 his bonesH6106:
For the sayingH1697 which he criedH7121 by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 against the altarH4196 in BethelH1008, and against all the housesH1004 of the high placesH1116 which are in the citiesH5892 of SamariaH8111, shall surely come to pass.
AfterH310 this thingH1697 JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 not from his evilH7451 wayH1870, but madeH6213 againH7725 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971 priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116: whosoever wouldH2655, he consecratedH4390+H3027 him, and he became one of the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116. {made…: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand}
And this thingH1697 became sinH2403 unto the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379, even to cut it offH3582, and to destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
AndG2532 haveG4790 noG3361 fellowshipG4790 with the unfruitfulG175 worksG2041 of darknessG4655, butG1161 ratherG3123+G2532 reproveG1651 them.
AllG3956 scriptureG1124 is given by inspiration of GodG2315, andG2532 is profitableG5624 forG4314 doctrineG1319, forG4314 reproofG1650, forG4314 correctionG1882, forG4314 instructionG3809 inG1722 righteousnessG1343:
ThatG2443 the manG444 of GodG2316 may beG5600 perfectG739, throughly furnishedG1822 untoG4314 allG3956 goodG18 worksG2041. {throughly…: or, perfected}
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
