BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
Now the PhilistinesH6430 gathered togetherH622 their armiesH4264 to battleH4421, and were gathered togetherH622 at ShochohH7755, which belongeth to JudahH3063, and pitchedH2583 between ShochohH7755 and AzekahH5825, in EphesdammimH658. {Ephesdammim: or, the coast of Dammim, called Pasdammim}
And SaulH7586 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were gathered togetherH622, and pitchedH2583 by the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, and set the battleH4421 in arrayH6186 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430. {set…: Heb. ranged the battle}
And the PhilistinesH6430 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the one side, and IsraelH3478 stoodH5975 on a mountainH2022 on the other side: and there was a valleyH1516 between them.
And there went outH3318 a championH376+H1143 out of the campH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430, namedH8034 GoliathH1555, of GathH1661, whose heightH1363 was sixH8337 cubitsH520 and a spanH2239.
And he had an helmetH3553 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218, and he was armedH3847 with a coatH8302 of mailH7193; and the weightH4948 of the coatH8302 was fiveH2568 thousandH505 shekelsH8255 of brassH5178. {armed: Heb. clothed}
And he had greavesH4697 of brassH5178 upon his legsH7272, and a targetH3591 of brassH5178 between his shouldersH3802. {target: or, gorget}
And the staffH6086+H2671 of his spearH2595 was like a weaver'sH707 beamH4500; and his spear'sH2595 headH3852 weighed sixH8337 hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of ironH1270: and one bearingH5375 a shieldH6793 wentH1980 beforeH6440 him.
And he stoodH5975 and criedH7121 unto the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Why are ye come outH3318 to set your battleH4421 in arrayH6186? am not I a PhilistineH6430, and ye servantsH5650 to SaulH7586? chooseH1262 you a manH376 for you, and let him come downH3381 to me.
If he be ableH3201 to fightH3898 with me, and to killH5221 me, then will we be your servantsH5650: but if I prevailH3201 against him, and killH5221 him, then shall ye be our servantsH5650, and serveH5647 us.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559, I defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478 this dayH3117; giveH5414 me a manH376, that we may fightH3898 togetherH3162.
When SaulH7586 and all IsraelH3478 heardH8085 those wordsH1697 of the PhilistineH6430, they were dismayedH2865, and greatlyH3966 afraidH3372.
Now DavidH1732 was the sonH1121 of that EphrathiteH376+H673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063, whose nameH8034 was JesseH3448; and he had eightH8083 sonsH1121: and the manH376 wentH935 among menH582 for an old manH2204 in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.
And the threeH7969 eldestH1419 sonsH1121 of JesseH3448 wentH3212 and followedH310 SaulH7586 to the battleH4421: and the namesH8034 of his threeH7969 sonsH1121 that wentH1980 to the battleH4421 were EliabH446 the firstbornH1060, and nextH4932 unto him AbinadabH41, and the thirdH7992 ShammahH8048.
And DavidH1732 was the youngestH6996: and the threeH7969 eldestH1419 followedH1980+H310 SaulH7586.
But DavidH1732 wentH1980 and returnedH7725 from SaulH7586 to feedH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629 at BethlehemH1035.
And the PhilistineH6430 drew nearH5066 morningH7925 and eveningH6150, and presentedH3320 himself fortyH705 daysH3117.
And JesseH3448 saidH559 unto DavidH1732 his sonH1121, TakeH3947 now for thy brethrenH251 an ephahH374 of thisH2088 parchedH7039 corn, and these tenH6235 loavesH3899, and runH7323 to the campH4264 to thy brethrenH251;
And carryH935 these tenH6235 cheesesH2461+H2757 unto the captainH8269 of their thousandH505, and lookH6485 how thy brethrenH251 fareH7965, and takeH3947 their pledgeH6161. {cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of…: Heb. of a thousand}
Now SaulH7586, and they, and all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, were in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, fightingH3898 with the PhilistinesH6430.
And DavidH1732 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and leftH5203 the sheepH6629 with a keeperH8104, and tookH5375, and wentH3212, as JesseH3448 had commandedH6680 him; and he cameH935 to the trenchH4570, as the hostH2428 was going forthH3318 to the fightH4634, and shoutedH7321 for the battleH4421. {trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}
For IsraelH3478 and the PhilistinesH6430 had put the battle in arrayH6186, armyH4634 againstH7125 armyH4634.
And DavidH1732 leftH5203 his carriageH3627 in the handH3027 of the keeperH8104 of the carriageH3627, and ranH7323 into the armyH4634, and cameH935 and salutedH7592+H7965 his brethrenH251. {his carriage: Heb. the vessels from upon him} {saluted…: Heb. asked his brethren of peace}
And as he talkedH1696 with them, behold, there came upH5927 the championH376+H1143, the PhilistineH6430 of GathH1661, GoliathH1555 by nameH8034, out of the armiesH4634+H4630 of the PhilistinesH6430, and spakeH1696 according to the sameH428 wordsH1697: and DavidH1732 heardH8085 them.
And all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, when they sawH7200 the manH376, fledH5127 from himH6440, and were soreH3966 afraidH3372. {from…: Heb. from his face}
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559, Have ye seenH7200 this manH376 that is come upH5927? surely to defyH2778 IsraelH3478 is he come upH5927: and it shall be, that the manH376 who killethH5221 him, the kingH4428 will enrichH6238 him with greatH1419 richesH6239, and will giveH5414 him his daughterH1323, and makeH6213 his father'sH1 houseH1004 freeH2670 in IsraelH3478.
And DavidH1732 spakeH559 to the menH582 that stoodH5975 by him, sayingH559, What shall be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 thisH1975 PhilistineH6430, and taketh awayH5493 the reproachH2781 from IsraelH3478? for who is this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430, that he should defyH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430?
And the peopleH5971 answeredH559 him after this mannerH1697, sayingH559, So shall it be doneH6213 to the manH376 that killethH5221 him.
And EliabH446 his eldestH1419 brotherH251 heardH8085 when he spakeH1696 unto the menH582; and Eliab'sH446 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against DavidH1732, and he saidH559, Why camest thou downH3381 hither? and with whom hast thou leftH5203 thoseH2007 fewH4592 sheepH6629 in the wildernessH4057? I knowH3045 thy prideH2087, and the naughtinessH7455 of thine heartH3824; for thou art come downH3381 that thou mightest seeH7200 the battleH4421.
And DavidH1732 saidH559, What have I now doneH6213? Is there not a causeH1697?
And he turnedH5437 from himH681 towardH4136 anotherH312, and spakeH559 after the same mannerH1697: and the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 him againH7725 after the formerH7223 mannerH1697. {manner: Heb. word}
And when the wordsH1697 were heardH8085 which DavidH1732 spakeH1696, they rehearsedH5046 them beforeH6440 SaulH7586: and he sentH3947 for him. {sent…: Heb. took him}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to SaulH7586, Let no man'sH120 heartH3820 failH5307 because of him; thy servantH5650 will goH3212 and fightH3898 with this PhilistineH6430.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art not ableH3201 to goH3212 against this PhilistineH6430 to fightH3898 with him: for thou art but a youthH5288, and he a manH376 of warH4421 from his youthH5271.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 keptH7462 his father'sH1 sheepH6629, and there cameH935 a lionH738, and a bearH1677, and tookH5375 a lambH7716+H2089 out of the flockH5739: {lamb: or, kid}
And I went outH3318 afterH310 him, and smoteH5221 him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310: and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caughtH2388 him by his beardH2206, and smoteH5221 him, and slewH4191 him.
Thy servantH5650 slewH5221 both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall be as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defiedH2778 the armiesH4634 of the livingH2416 GodH430.
DavidH1732 saidH559 moreover, The LORDH3068 that deliveredH5337 me out of the pawH3027 of the lionH738, and out of the pawH3027 of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, GoH3212, and the LORDH3068 be with thee.
And SaulH7586 armedH3847 DavidH1732 with his armourH4055, and he putH5414 an helmetH6959 of brassH5178 upon his headH7218; also he armedH3847 him with a coat of mailH8302. {armed David…: Heb. clothed David with his clothes}
And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his armourH4055, and he assayedH2974 to goH3212; for he had not provedH5254 it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannotH3201 goH3212 with these; for I have not provedH5254 them. And DavidH1732 putH5493 them off him.
And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smoothH2512 stonesH68 out of the brookH5158, and putH7760 them in a shepherd'sH7462 bagH3627 which he had, even in a scripH3219; and his slingH7050 was in his handH3027: and he drew nearH5066 to the PhilistineH6430. {brook: or, valley} {bag: Heb. vessel}
And the PhilistineH6430 cameH3212 onH1980 and drew nearH7131 unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bareH5375 the shieldH6793 went beforeH6440 him.
And when the PhilistineH6430 looked aboutH5027, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdainedH959 him: for he was but a youthH5288, and ruddyH132, and of a fairH3303 countenanceH4758.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comestH935 to me with stavesH4731? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430.
And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, ComeH3212 to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704.
Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comestH935 to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a shieldH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH4634 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defiedH2778.
This dayH3117 will the LORDH3068 deliverH5462 thee into mine handH3027; and I will smiteH5221 thee, and takeH5493 thine headH7218 from thee; and I will giveH5414 the carcasesH6297 of the hostH4264 of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and to the wild beastsH2416 of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there isH3426 a GodH430 in IsraelH3478. {deliver…: Heb. shut thee up}
And all this assemblyH6951 shall knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 savethH3467 not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is the LORD'SH3068, and he will giveH5414 you into our handsH3027.
And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and cameH3212 and drew nighH7126 to meetH7125 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the armyH4634 to meetH7125 the PhilistineH6430.
And DavidH1732 putH7971 his handH3027 in his bagH3627, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slangH7049 it, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696, that the stoneH68 sunkH2883 into his foreheadH4696; and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776.
So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 overH4480 the PhilistineH6430 with a slingH7050 and with a stoneH68, and smoteH5221 the PhilistineH6430, and slewH4191 him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732.
Therefore DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 upon the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slewH4191 him, and cut offH3772 his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 their championH1368 was deadH4191, they fledH5127.
And the menH582 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comeH935 to the valleyH1516, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fell downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasingH1814 afterH310 the PhilistinesH6430, and they spoiledH8155 their tentsH4264.
And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armourH3627 in his tentH168.
And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 DavidH1732 go forthH3318 againstH7125 the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559 unto AbnerH74, the captainH8269 of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559, As thy soulH5315 livethH2416, O kingH4428, I cannotH518 tellH3045.
And the kingH4428 saidH559, EnquireH7592 thou whose sonH1121 the striplingH5958 is.
And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughterH5221 of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947 him, and broughtH935 him beforeH6440 SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027.
And SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou young manH5288? And DavidH1732 answeredH559, I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the BethlehemiteH1022.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
UntoG1519 whichG3739 promise ourG2257 twelve tribesG1429, instantlyG1722+G1616 servingG3000 God dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, hopeG1679 to comeG2658. ForG4012 whichG3739 hope's sakeG1680, kingG935 AgrippaG67, I am accusedG1458 ofG5259 the JewsG2453. {day and night: Gr. night and day}
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
AndG1161 IG1473 will very gladlyG2236 spendG1159 andG2532 be spentG1550 forG5228 youG5590+G5216; thoughG1499 the more abundantlyG4056 I loveG25 youG5209, the lessG2276 I be lovedG25. {for you: Gr. for your souls}
ForG1063 whoG5101 makethG1252 theeG4571 to differG1252 from another? andG1161 whatG5101 hast thouG2192 thatG3739 thou didstG2983 notG3756 receiveG2983+G1161? now ifG1499 thou didst receiveG2983 it, whyG5101 dost thou gloryG2744, asG5613 if thou hadstG2983 notG3361 receivedG2983 it? {maketh…: Gr. distinguisheth thee}
By longH753 forbearingH639 is a princeH7101 persuadedH6601, and a softH7390 tongueH3956 breakethH7665 the boneH1634.
Let yourG5216 speechG3056 be alwayG3842 withG1722 graceG5485, seasonedG741 with saltG217, that ye may knowG1492 howG4459 yeG5209 oughtG1163 to answerG611 everyG1538 manG1520.
BeG3528 notG3361 overcomeG3528 ofG5259 evilG2556, butG235 overcomeG3528 evilG2556 withG1722 goodG18.
NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
ForG1063 byG1722 itG5026 the eldersG4245 obtained a good reportG3140.
Through faithG4102 we understandG3539 that the worldsG165 were framedG2675 by the wordG4487 of GodG2316, soG1519 that things whichG3588 are seenG991 wereG1096 notG3361 madeG1096 ofG1537 things which do appearG5316.
By faithG4102 AbelG6 offeredG4374 unto GodG2316 a more excellentG4119 sacrificeG2378 thanG3844 CainG2535, byG1223 whichG3739 he obtained witnessG3140 that he wasG1511 righteousG1342, GodG2316 testifyingG3140 ofG1909 hisG846 giftsG1435: andG2532 byG1223 itG846 he being deadG599 yetG2089 speakethG2980. {yet…: or, is yet spoken of}
By faithG4102 EnochG1802 was translatedG3346 that he shouldG1492 notG3361 seeG1492 deathG2288; andG2532 wasG2147 notG3756 foundG2147, becauseG1360 GodG2316 had translatedG3346 himG846: forG1063 beforeG4253 hisG846 translationG3331 he had this testimonyG3140, that he pleasedG2100 GodG2316.
ButG1161 withoutG5565 faithG4102 it is impossibleG102 to pleaseG2100 him: forG1063 he that comethG4334 to GodG2316 mustG1163 believeG4100 thatG3754 he isG2076, andG2532 that he isG1096 a rewarderG3406 of them that diligently seekG1567 himG846.
By faithG4102 NoahG3575, being warned of GodG5537 ofG4012 things notG3369 seenG991 as yetG3369, moved with fearG2125, preparedG2680 an arkG2787 toG1519 the savingG4991 of hisG846 houseG3624; byG1223 the whichG3739 he condemnedG2632 the worldG2889, andG2532 becameG1096 heirG2818 of the righteousnessG1343 which is byG2596 faithG4102. {moved…: or, being wary}
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was calledG2564 to go outG1831 intoG1519 a placeG5117 whichG3739 he should afterG3195 receiveG2983 forG1519 an inheritanceG2817, obeyedG5219; andG2532 he went outG1831, notG3361 knowingG1987 whitherG4226 he wentG2064.
By faithG4102 he sojournedG3939 inG1519 the landG1093 of promiseG1860, asG5613 in a strange countryG245, dwellingG2730 inG1722 tabernaclesG4633 withG3326 IsaacG2464 andG2532 JacobG2384, the heirs with himG4789 of the sameG846 promiseG1860:
ForG1063 he looked forG1551 a cityG4172 which hathG2192 foundationsG2310, whoseG3739 builderG5079 andG2532 makerG1217 is GodG2316.
Through faithG4102 alsoG2532 SaraG4564 herselfG846 receivedG2983 strengthG1411 toG1519 conceiveG2602 seedG4690, andG2532 was delivered of a childG5088 when she was pastG3844 ageG2540+G2244, becauseG1893 she judgedG2233 him faithfulG4103 who had promisedG1861.
ThereforeG1352 sprang thereG1080 evenG2532 ofG575 oneG1520, andG2532 himG5023 as good as deadG3499, so many asG2531 the starsG798 of the skyG3772 in multitudeG4128, andG2532 asG5616 the sandG285 whichG3588 is byG3844 the seaG2281 shoreG5491 innumerableG382.
TheseG3778 allG3956 diedG599 inG2596 faithG4102, notG3361 having receivedG2983 the promisesG1860, butG235 having seenG1492 themG846 afar offG4207, andG2532 were persuaded ofG3982 them, andG2532 embracedG782 them, andG2532 confessedG3670 thatG3754 they wereG1526 strangersG3581 andG2532 pilgrimsG3927 onG1909 the earthG1093. {in faith: Gr. according to faith}
ForG1063 they that sayG3004 such thingsG5108 declare plainlyG1718 thatG3754 they seekG1934 a countryG3968.
AndG2532 trulyG3303, ifG1487 they had been mindfulG3421 of thatG1565 country fromG575 whenceG3739 they came outG1831, they mightG302 have hadG2192 opportunityG2540 to have returnedG344.
ButG1161 nowG3570 they desireG3713 a betterG2909 country, that isG5123, an heavenlyG2032: whereforeG1352 GodG2316 isG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870+G846 to be calledG1941 theirG846 GodG2316: forG1063 he hath preparedG2090 for themG846 a cityG4172.
By faithG4102 AbrahamG11, when he was triedG3985, offered upG4374 IsaacG2464: andG2532 he that had receivedG324 the promisesG1860 offered upG4374 his only begottenG3439 son,
OfG4314 whomG3739 it was saidG2980, ThatG3754 inG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564: {of: or, to}
AccountingG3049 thatG3754 GodG2316 was ableG1415 to raise him upG1453, evenG2532 fromG1537 the deadG3498; from whenceG3606 alsoG2532 he receivedG2865 himG846 inG1722 a figureG3850.
By faithG4102 IsaacG2464 blessedG2127 JacobG2384 andG2532 EsauG2269 concerningG4012 things to comeG3195.
By faithG4102 JacobG2384, when he was a dyingG599, blessedG2127 bothG1538 the sonsG5207 of JosephG2501; andG2532 worshippedG4352, leaning uponG1909 the topG206 of hisG846 staffG4464.
By faithG4102 JosephG2501, when he diedG5053, made mentionG3421 ofG4012 the departingG1841 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474; andG2532 gave commandmentG1781 concerningG4012 hisG846 bonesG3747. {made…: or, remembered}
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was bornG1080, was hidG2928 three monthsG5150 ofG5259 hisG846 parentsG3962, becauseG1360 they sawG1492 he was a properG791 childG3813; andG2532 they wereG5399 notG3756 afraidG5399 of the king'sG935 commandmentG1297.
By faithG4102 MosesG3475, when he was comeG1096 to yearsG3173, refusedG720 to be calledG3004 the sonG5207 of Pharaoh'sG5328 daughterG2364;
ChoosingG138 ratherG3123 to suffer afflictionG4778 with the peopleG2992 of GodG2316, thanG2228 to enjoy the pleasuresG2192+G619 of sinG266 for a seasonG4340;
EsteemingG2233 the reproachG3680 of ChristG5547 greaterG3187 richesG4149 thanG2233 the treasuresG2344 inG1722 EgyptG125: forG1063 he had respectG578 untoG1519 the recompence of the rewardG3405. {of Christ: or, for Christ}
By faithG4102 he forsookG2641 EgyptG125, notG3361 fearingG5399 the wrathG2372 of the kingG935: forG1063 he enduredG2594, asG5613 seeingG3708 him who is invisibleG517.
Through faithG4102 he keptG4160 the passoverG3957, andG2532 the sprinklingG4378 of bloodG129, lestG3363 he that destroyedG3645 the firstbornG4416 should touchG2345 themG846.
By faithG4102 they passed throughG1224 the RedG2063 seaG2281 asG5613 byG1223 dryG3584 land: whichG3739 the EgyptiansG124 assayingG3984 to doG2983 were drownedG2666.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
By faithG4102 the harlotG4204 RahabG4460 perishedG4881 notG3756 with them that believed notG544, when she had receivedG1209 the spiesG2685 withG3326 peaceG1515. {that…: or, that were disobedient}
AndG2532 whatG5101 shall IG3004 moreG2089 sayG3004? forG1063 the timeG5550 would failG1952 meG3165 to tellG1334 ofG4012 GedeonG1066, andG5037 of BarakG913, andG2532 of SamsonG4546, andG2532 of JephthaeG2422; of DavidG1138 alsoG2532, andG5037 SamuelG4545, andG2532 of the prophetsG4396:
WhoG3739 throughG1223 faithG4102 subduedG2610 kingdomsG932, wroughtG2038 righteousnessG1343, obtainedG2013 promisesG1860, stoppedG5420 the mouthsG4750 of lionsG3023,
QuenchedG4570 the violenceG1411 of fireG4442, escapedG5343 the edgeG4750 of the swordG3162, out ofG575 weaknessG769 were made strongG1743, waxedG1096 valiantG2478 inG1722 fightG4171, turned to flightG2827 the armiesG3925 of the aliensG245.
WomenG1135 receivedG2983 theirG846 deadG3498 raised to life againG1537+G386: andG1161 othersG243 were torturedG5178, notG3756 acceptingG4327 deliveranceG629; thatG2443 they might obtainG5177 a betterG2909 resurrectionG386:
AndG1161 othersG2087 hadG2983 trialG3984 of cruel mockingsG1701 andG2532 scourgingsG3148, yeaG1161, moreoverG2089 of bondsG1199 andG2532 imprisonmentG5438:
They were stonedG3034, they were sawn asunderG4249, were temptedG3985, were slainG599 withG1722 the swordG5408+G3162: they wandered aboutG4022 inG1722 sheepskinsG3374 andG1722 goatskinsG122+G1192; being destituteG5302, afflictedG2346, tormentedG2558;
(Of whomG3739 the worldG2889 wasG2258 notG3756 worthyG514:) they wanderedG4105 inG1722 desertsG2047, andG2532 in mountainsG3735, andG2532 in densG4693 andG2532 cavesG3692 of the earthG1093.
AndG2532 theseG3778 allG3956, having obtained a good reportG3140 throughG1223 faithG4102, receivedG2865 notG3756 the promiseG1860:
GodG2316 having providedG4265 someG5100 betterG2909 thingG5100 forG4012 usG2257, thatG3363 theyG5048 withoutG5565 usG2257 shouldG5048 notG3363 be made perfectG5048. {provided: or, foreseen}
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and wentH5674 northwardH6828, and saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Wherefore passedst thou overH5674 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to goH3212 with thee? we will burnH8313 thine houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. {gathered…: Heb. were called}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto them, I and my peopleH5971 wereH1961 at greatH3966 strifeH376+H7379 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and when I calledH2199 you, ye deliveredH3467 me not out of their handsH3027.
And when I sawH7200 that ye deliveredH3467 me not, I putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handsH3709, and passed overH5674 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into my handH3027: wherefore then are ye come upH5927 unto me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me?
Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
And the GileaditesH1568 tookH3920 the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383 before the EphraimitesH669: and it was so, that when those EphraimitesH669 which were escapedH6412 saidH559, Let me go overH5674; that the menH582 of GileadH1568 saidH559 unto him, Art thou an EphraimiteH673? If he saidH559, Nay;
Then saidH559 they unto him, SayH559 now ShibbolethH7641: and he saidH559 SibbolethH5451: for he could not frameH3559 to pronounceH1696 it rightH3559. Then they tookH270 him, and slewH7819 him at the passagesH4569 of JordanH3383: and there fellH5307 at that timeH6256 of the EphraimitesH669 fortyH705 and twoH8147 thousandH505.
And JephthahH3316 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sixH8337 yearsH8141. Then diedH4191 JephthahH3316 the GileaditeH1569, and was buriedH6912 in one of the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568.
And afterH310 him IbzanH78 of BethlehemH1035 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478.
And he had thirtyH7970 sonsH1121, and thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323, whom he sentH7971 abroadH2351, and tookH935 in thirtyH7970 daughtersH1323 from abroadH2351 for his sonsH1121. And he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 sevenH7651 yearsH8141.
Then diedH4191 IbzanH78, and was buriedH6912 at BethlehemH1035.
And afterH310 him ElonH356, a ZebuloniteH2075, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478; and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And ElonH356 the ZebuloniteH2075 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in AijalonH357 in the countryH776 of ZebulunH2074.
And afterH310 him AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985, a PirathoniteH6553, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478.
And he had fortyH705 sonsH1121 and thirtyH7970 nephewsH1121+H1121, that rodeH7392 on threescore and tenH7657 ass coltsH5895: and he judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 eightH8083 yearsH8141. {nephews: Heb. sons' sons}
And AbdonH5658 the sonH1121 of HillelH1985 the PirathoniteH6553 diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in PirathonH6552 in the landH776 of EphraimH669, in the mountH2022 of the AmalekitesH6003.
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 saidH559 unto him, Why hast thouH4100 servedH6213 us thusH1697, that thou calledstH7121 us not, when thou wentestH1980 to fightH3898 with the MidianitesH4080? And they did chideH7378 with him sharplyH2394. {Why…: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}
And he saidH559 unto them, What have I doneH6213 now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaningH5955 of the grapes of EphraimH669 betterH2896 than the vintageH1210 of AbiezerH44?
GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 into your handsH3027 the princesH8269 of MidianH4080, OrebH6159 and ZeebH2062: and what was I ableH3201 to doH6213 in comparison of you? Then their angerH7307 was abatedH7503 toward him, when he had saidH1697 thatH1696. {anger: Heb. spirit}
And GideonH1439 cameH935 to JordanH3383, and passed overH5674, he, and the threeH7969 hundredH3967 menH376 that were with him, faintH5889, yet pursuingH7291 them.
And he saidH559 unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, GiveH5414, I pray you, loavesH3603 of breadH3899 unto the peopleH5971 that followH7272 me; for they be faintH5889, and I am pursuingH7291 afterH310 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, kingsH4428 of MidianH4080.
And the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523 saidH559, Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thine armyH6635?
And GideonH1439 saidH559, Therefore when the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 into mine handH3027, then I will tearH1758 your fleshH1320 with the thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and with briersH1303. {tear: Heb. thresh}
And he went upH5927 thence to PenuelH6439, and spakeH1696 unto them likewiseH2063: and the menH582 of PenuelH6439 answeredH6030 him as the menH582 of SuccothH5523 had answeredH6030 him.
And he spakeH559 also unto the menH582 of PenuelH6439, sayingH559, When I come againH7725 in peaceH7965, I will break downH5422 this towerH4026.
Now ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 were in KarkorH7174, and their hostsH4264 with them, about fifteenH2568+H6240 thousandH505 men, all that were leftH3498 of all the hostsH4264 of the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924: for there fellH5307 an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 thousandH505 menH376 that drewH8025 swordH2719. {men that…: or, every one drawing a sword}
And GideonH1439 went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of them that dweltH7931 in tentsH168 on the eastH6924 of NobahH5025 and JogbehahH3011, and smoteH5221 the hostH4264: for the hostH4264 was secureH983.
And when ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 fledH5127, he pursuedH7291 afterH310 them, and tookH3920 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and discomfitedH2729 all the hostH4264. {discomfited: Heb. terrified}
And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 returnedH7725 from battleH4421 beforeH4608 the sunH2775 was up,
And caughtH3920 a young manH5288 of the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and enquiredH7592 of him: and he describedH3789 unto him the princesH8269 of SuccothH5523, and the eldersH2205 thereof, even threescore and seventeenH7657+H7651 menH376. {described: Heb. writ}
And he cameH935 unto the menH582 of SuccothH5523, and saidH559, Behold ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, with whom ye did upbraidH2778 me, sayingH559, Are the handsH3709 of ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 now in thine handH3027, that we should giveH5414 breadH3899 unto thy menH582 that are wearyH3287?
And he tookH3947 the eldersH2205 of the cityH5892, and thornsH6975 of the wildernessH4057 and briersH1303, and with them he taughtH3045 the menH582 of SuccothH5523. {taught: Heb. made to know}
And he beat downH5422 the towerH4026 of PenuelH6439, and slewH2026 the menH582 of the cityH5892.
Then saidH559 he unto ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, WhatH375 manner of menH582 were they whom ye slewH2026 at TaborH8396? And they answeredH559, As thouH3644 art, so were they; each oneH259 resembledH8389 the childrenH1121 of a kingH4428. {resembled…: Heb. according to the form, etc}
And he saidH559, They were my brethrenH251, even the sonsH1121 of my motherH517: as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, ifH3863 ye had saved them aliveH2421, I would not slayH2026 you.
And he saidH559 unto JetherH3500 his firstbornH1060, UpH6965, and slayH2026 them. But the youthH5288 drewH8025 not his swordH2719: for he fearedH3372, because he was yet a youthH5288.
Then ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759 saidH559, RiseH6965 thou, and fallH6293 upon us: for as the manH376 is, so is his strengthH1369. And GideonH1439 aroseH6965, and slewH2026 ZebahH2078 and ZalmunnaH6759, and took awayH3947 the ornamentsH7720 that were on their camels'H1581 necksH6677. {ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}
Then the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto GideonH1439, RuleH4910 thou over us, both thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy son'sH1121 sonH1121 also: for thou hast deliveredH3467 us from the handH3027 of MidianH4080.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I will not ruleH4910 over you, neither shall my sonH1121 ruleH4910 over you: the LORDH3068 shall ruleH4910 over you.
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto them, I would desireH7592 a requestH7596 of you, that ye would giveH5414 me every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998. (For they had goldenH2091 earringsH5141, because they were IshmaelitesH3459.)
And they answeredH559, We will willinglyH5414 giveH5414 them. And they spreadH6566 a garmentH8071, and did castH7993 therein every manH376 the earringsH5141 of his preyH7998.
And the weightH4948 of the goldenH2091 earringsH5141 that he requestedH7592 was a thousandH505 and sevenH7651 hundredH3967 shekels of goldH2091; beside ornamentsH7720, and collarsH5188, and purpleH713 raimentH899 that was on the kingsH4428 of MidianH4080, and beside the chainsH6060 that were about their camels'H1581 necksH6677. {collars: or, sweet jewels}
And GideonH1439 madeH6213 an ephodH646 thereof, and putH3322 it in his cityH5892, even in OphrahH6084: and all IsraelH3478 went thither a whoringH2181 afterH310 it: which thing became a snareH4170 unto GideonH1439, and to his houseH1004.
Thus was MidianH4080 subduedH3665 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, so that they lifted upH5375 their headsH7218 no moreH3254. And the countryH776 was in quietnessH8252 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the daysH3117 of GideonH1439.
And JerubbaalH3378 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 wentH3212 and dweltH3427 in his own houseH1004.
And GideonH1439 had threescore and tenH7657 sonsH1121 of his bodyH3409 begottenH3318: for he had manyH7227 wivesH802. {of his…: Heb. going out of his thigh}
And his concubineH6370 that was in ShechemH7927, she also bareH3205 him a sonH1121, whose nameH8034 he calledH7760 AbimelechH40. {called: Heb. set}
And GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, and was buriedH6912 in the sepulchreH6913 of JoashH3101 his fatherH1, in OphrahH6084 of the AbiezritesH33.
And it came to pass, as soon as GideonH1439 was deadH4191, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 turned againH7725, and went a whoringH2181 afterH310 BaalimH1168, and madeH7760 BaalberithH1170 their godH430.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 rememberedH2142 not the LORDH3068 their GodH430, who had deliveredH5337 them out of the handsH3027 of all their enemiesH341 on every sideH5439:
Neither shewedH6213 they kindnessH2617 to the houseH1004 of JerubbaalH3378, namely, GideonH1439, according to all the goodnessH2896 which he had shewedH6213 unto IsraelH3478.
And the menH376 of EphraimH669 gathered themselves togetherH6817, and wentH5674 northwardH6828, and saidH559 unto JephthahH3316, Wherefore passedst thou overH5674 to fightH3898 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and didst not callH7121 us to goH3212 with thee? we will burnH8313 thine houseH1004 upon thee with fireH784. {gathered…: Heb. were called}
And JephthahH3316 saidH559 unto them, I and my peopleH5971 wereH1961 at greatH3966 strifeH376+H7379 with the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and when I calledH2199 you, ye deliveredH3467 me not out of their handsH3027.
And when I sawH7200 that ye deliveredH3467 me not, I putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handsH3709, and passed overH5674 against the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into my handH3027: wherefore then are ye come upH5927 unto me this dayH3117, to fightH3898 against me?
Then JephthahH3316 gathered togetherH6908 all the menH582 of GileadH1568, and foughtH3898 with EphraimH669: and the menH582 of GileadH1568 smoteH5221 EphraimH669, because they saidH559, Ye GileaditesH1568 are fugitivesH6412 of EphraimH669 amongH8432 the EphraimitesH669, and amongH8432 the ManassitesH4519.
