And AbimelechH40 the sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 wentH3212 to ShechemH7927 unto his mother'sH517 brethrenH251, and communedH1696 with them, and with all the familyH4940 of the houseH1004 of his mother'sH517 fatherH1, sayingH559,
SpeakH1696, I pray you, in the earsH241 of all the menH1167 of ShechemH7927, Whether is betterH2896 for you, either that all the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, which are threescore and tenH7657 personsH376, reignH4910 over you, or that oneH259 reignH4910 over you? rememberH2142 also that I am your boneH6106 and your fleshH1320. {Whether…: Heb. What is good? whether, etc}
And his mother'sH517 brethrenH251 spakeH1696 of him in the earsH241 of all the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 all these wordsH1697: and their heartsH3820 inclinedH5186 to followH310 AbimelechH40; for they saidH559, He is our brotherH251. {to follow: Heb. after}
And they gaveH5414 him threescore and tenH7657 pieces of silverH3701 out of the houseH1004 of BaalberithH1170, wherewith AbimelechH40 hiredH7936 vainH7386 and lightH6348 personsH582, which followedH3212 himH310.
And he wentH935 unto his father'sH1 houseH1004 at OphrahH6084, and slewH2026 his brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of JerubbaalH3378, being threescore and tenH7657 personsH376, upon oneH259 stoneH68: notwithstanding yet JothamH3147 the youngestH6996 sonH1121 of JerubbaalH3378 was leftH3498; for he hidH2244 himself.
And all the menH1167 of ShechemH7927 gathered togetherH622, and all the houseH1004 of MilloH4407+H1037, and wentH3212, and madeH4427 AbimelechH40 kingH4428, by the plainH436 of the pillarH5324 that was in ShechemH7927. {plain: or, oak}
The elderG4245 unto the wellbelovedG27 GaiusG1050, whomG3739 IG1473 loveG25 inG1722 the truthG225. {in…: or, truly}
Even asG5618 the SonG5207 of manG444 cameG2064 notG3756 to be ministered untoG1247, butG235 to ministerG1247, andG2532 to giveG1325 hisG846 lifeG5590 a ransomG3083 forG473 manyG4183.
ButG1161 yeG5210 shall notG3756 be soG3779: butG235 he that is greatestG3187 amongG1722 youG5213, let him beG1096 asG5613 the youngerG3501; andG2532 he that is chiefG2233, asG5613 he that doth serveG1247.
ForG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, he that sitteth at meatG345, orG2228 he that servethG1247? is notG3780 he that sitteth at meatG345? butG1161 IG1473 amG1510 amongG1722+G3319 youG5216 asG5613 he that servethG1247.
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.
NeitherG3366 asG5613 being lords overG2634 God's heritageG2819, butG235 beingG1096 ensamplesG5179 to the flockG4168. {being lords over: or, overruling}
AlsoG2532 ofG1537 yourG5216 own selvesG846 shallG450 menG435 ariseG450, speakingG2980 perverse thingsG1294, to draw awayG645 disciplesG3101 afterG3694 themG846.
Also I in the firstH259 yearH8141 of DariusH1867 the MedeH4075, even I, stoodH5977 to confirmH2388 and to strengthenH4581 him.
And now will I shewH5046 thee the truthH571. Behold, there shall stand upH5975 yet threeH7969 kingsH4428 in PersiaH6539; and the fourthH7243 shall be farH6239 richerH6238 than they allH1419: and by his strengthH2393 through his richesH6239 he shall stir upH5782 all against the realmH4438 of GreciaH3120.
And a mightyH1368 kingH4428 shall stand upH5975, that shall ruleH4910 with greatH7227 dominionH4474, and doH6213 according to his willH7522.
And when he shall stand upH5975, his kingdomH4438 shall be brokenH7665, and shall be dividedH2673 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064; and not to his posterityH319, nor according to his dominionH4915 which he ruledH4910: for his kingdomH4438 shall be plucked upH5428, even for othersH312 beside those.
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be strongH2388, and one of his princesH8269; and he shall be strongH2388 above him, and have dominionH4910; his dominionH4475 shall be a greatH7227 dominionH4474.
And in the endH7093 of yearsH8141 they shall join themselves togetherH2266; for the king'sH4428 daughterH1323 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 to the kingH4428 of the northH6828 to makeH6213 an agreementH4339: but she shall not retainH6113 the powerH3581 of the armH2220; neither shall he standH5975, nor his armH2220: but she shall be given upH5414, and they that broughtH935 her, and he that begatH3205 her, and he that strengthenedH2388 her in these timesH6256. {join…: Heb. associate themselves} {an…: Heb. rights} {he that begat…: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branchH5342 of her rootsH8328 shall one stand upH5975 in his estateH3653, which shall comeH935 with an armyH2428, and shall enterH935 into the fortressH4581 of the kingH4428 of the northH6828, and shall dealH6213 against them, and shall prevailH2388: {in…: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carryH935 captivesH7628 into EgyptH4714 their godsH430, with their princesH5257, and with their preciousH2532 vesselsH3627 of silverH3701 and of goldH2091; and he shall continueH5975 more yearsH8141 than the kingH4428 of the northH6828. {their precious…: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall comeH935 into his kingdomH4438, and shall returnH7725 into his own landH127.
But his sonsH1121 shall be stirred upH1624, and shall assembleH622 a multitudeH1995 of greatH7227 forcesH2428: and one shall certainlyH935 comeH935, and overflowH7857, and pass throughH5674: then shall he returnH7725, and be stirred upH1624, even to his fortressH4581. {shall be…: or, shall war} {return…: or, be stirred up again}
And the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be moved with cholerH4843, and shall come forthH3318 and fightH3898 with him, even with the kingH4428 of the northH6828: and he shall set forthH5975 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995; but the multitudeH1995 shall be givenH5414 into his handH3027.
And when he hath taken awayH5375 the multitudeH1995, his heartH3824 shall be lifted upH7311+H7311; and he shall cast downH5307 many ten thousandsH7239: but he shall not be strengthenedH5810 by it.
For the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall returnH7725, and shall set forthH5975 a multitudeH1995 greaterH7227 than the formerH7223, and shall certainlyH935 comeH935 afterH7093 certainH6256 yearsH8141 with a greatH1419 armyH2428 and with muchH7227 richesH7399. {after…: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those timesH6256 there shall manyH7227 stand upH5975 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045: also the robbersH1121+H6530 of thy peopleH5971 shall exaltH5375 themselves to establishH5975 the visionH2377; but they shall fallH3782. {the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall comeH935, and cast upH8210 a mountH5550, and takeH3920 the most fencedH4013 citiesH5892: and the armsH2220 of the southH5045 shall not withstandH5975, neither his chosenH4005 peopleH5971, neither shall there be any strengthH3581 to withstandH5975. {the most…: Heb. the city of munitions} {his…: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that comethH935 against him shall doH6213 according to his own willH7522, and none shall standH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he shall standH5975 in the gloriousH6643 landH776, which by his handH3027 shall be consumedH3617. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also setH7760 his faceH6440 to enterH935 with the strengthH8633 of his whole kingdomH4438, and upright onesH3477 with him; thus shall he doH6213: and he shall giveH5414 him the daughterH1323 of womenH802, corruptingH7843 her: but she shall not standH5975 on his side, neither be for him. {upright…: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turnH7760+H7725 his faceH6440 unto the islesH339, and shall takeH3920 manyH7227: but a princeH7101 for his own behalf shall cause the reproachH2781 offered by him to ceaseH7673; withoutH1115 his own reproachH2781 he shall cause it to turnH7725 upon him. {for…: Heb. for him} {the reproach…: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turnH7725 his faceH6440 toward the fortH4581 of his own landH776: but he shall stumbleH3782 and fallH5307, and not be foundH4672.
Then shall stand upH5975 in his estateH3653 a raiserH5674 of taxesH5065 in the gloryH1925 of the kingdomH4438: but within fewH259 daysH3117 he shall be destroyedH7665, neither in angerH639, nor in battleH4421. {estate: or, place} {a…: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estateH3653 shall stand upH5975 a vile personH959, to whom they shall not giveH5414 the honourH1935 of the kingdomH4438: but he shall comeH935 in peaceablyH7962, and obtainH2388 the kingdomH4438 by flatteriesH2519. {estate: or, place}
And with the armsH2220 of a floodH7858 shall they be overflownH7857 from beforeH6440 him, and shall be brokenH7665; yea, also the princeH5057 of the covenantH1285.
And after the leagueH2266 made with him he shall workH6213 deceitfullyH4820: for he shall come upH5927, and shall become strongH6105 with a smallH4592 peopleH1471.
He shall enterH935 peaceablyH7962 even upon the fattest placesH4924 of the provinceH4082; and he shall doH6213 that which his fathersH1 have not doneH6213, nor his fathers'H1 fathersH1; he shall scatterH967 among them the preyH961, and spoilH7998, and richesH7399: yea, and he shall forecastH2803 his devicesH4284 against the strong holdsH4013, even for a timeH6256. {peaceably…: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast…: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir upH5782 his powerH3581 and his courageH3824 against the kingH4428 of the southH5045 with a greatH1419 armyH2428; and the kingH4428 of the southH5045 shall be stirred upH1624 to battleH4421 with a veryH3966 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 armyH2428; but he shall not standH5975: for they shall forecastH2803 devicesH4284 against him.
Yea, they that feedH398 of the portion of his meatH6598 shall destroyH7665 him, and his armyH2428 shall overflowH7857: and manyH7227 shall fallH5307 down slainH2491.
And bothH8147 these kings'H4428 heartsH3824 shall be to do mischiefH4827+H7451, and they shall speakH1696 liesH3577 at oneH259 tableH7979; but it shall not prosperH6743: for yet the endH7093 shall be at the time appointedH4150. {hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he returnH7725 into his landH776 with greatH1419 richesH7399; and his heartH3824 shall be against the holyH6944 covenantH1285; and he shall doH6213 exploits, and returnH7725 to his own landH776.
At the time appointedH4150 he shall returnH7725, and comeH935 toward the southH5045; but it shall not be as the formerH7223, or as the latterH314.
For the shipsH6716 of ChittimH3794 shall comeH935 against him: therefore he shall be grievedH3512, and returnH7725, and have indignationH2194 against the holyH6944 covenantH1285: so shall he doH6213; he shall even returnH7725, and have intelligenceH995 with them that forsakeH5800 the holyH6944 covenantH1285.
And armsH2220 shall standH5975 on his part, and they shall polluteH2490 the sanctuaryH4720 of strengthH4581, and shall take awayH5493 the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and they shall placeH5414 the abominationH8251 that maketh desolateH8074. {maketh…: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understandH7919 among the peopleH5971 shall instructH995 manyH7227: yet they shall fallH3782 by the swordH2719, and by flameH3852, by captivityH7628, and by spoilH961, many daysH3117.
Now when they shall fallH3782, they shall be holpenH5826 with a littleH4592 helpH5828: but manyH7227 shall cleaveH3867 to them with flatteriesH2519.
And some of them of understandingH7919 shall fallH3782, to tryH6884 them, and to purgeH1305, and to make them whiteH3835, even to the timeH6256 of the endH7093: because it is yet for a time appointedH4150. {try them: or, try by them}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
Neither shall he regardH995 the GodH430 of his fathersH1, nor the desireH2532 of womenH802, nor regardH995 any godH433: for he shall magnifyH1431 himself above all.
But in his estateH3653 shall he honourH3513 the GodH433 of forcesH4581: and a godH433 whom his fathersH1 knewH3045 not shall he honourH3513 with goldH2091, and silverH3701, and with preciousH3368 stonesH68, and pleasant thingsH2532. {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, as for the almighty God, in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a god, etc} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he doH6213 in the most strongH4581 holdsH4013 with a strangeH5236 godH433, whom he shall acknowledgeH5234+H5234 and increaseH7235 with gloryH3519: and he shall cause them to ruleH4910 over manyH7227, and shall divideH2505 the landH127 for gainH4242. {most…: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the timeH6256 of the endH7093 shall the kingH4428 of the southH5045 pushH5055 at him: and the kingH4428 of the northH6828 shall come against him like a whirlwindH8175, with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and with manyH7227 shipsH591; and he shall enterH935 into the countriesH776, and shall overflowH7857 and pass overH5674.
He shall enterH935 also into the gloriousH6643 landH776, and manyH7227 countries shall be overthrownH3782: but these shall escapeH4422 out of his handH3027, even EdomH123, and MoabH4124, and the chiefH7225 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forthH7971 his handH3027 also upon the countriesH776: and the landH776 of EgyptH4714 shall not escapeH6413. {stretch…: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have powerH4910 over the treasuresH4362 of goldH2091 and of silverH3701, and over all the preciousH2532 things of EgyptH4714: and the LibyansH3864 and the EthiopiansH3569 shall be at his stepsH4703.
But tidingsH8052 out of the eastH4217 and out of the northH6828 shall troubleH926 him: therefore he shall go forthH3318 with greatH1419 furyH2534 to destroyH8045, and utterly to make awayH2763 manyH7227.
And he shall plantH5193 the tabernaclesH168 of his palaceH643 between the seasH3220 in the gloriousH6643 holyH6944 mountainH2022; yet he shall comeH935 to his endH7093, and none shall helpH5826 him. {glorious…: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
And the kingH4428 shall doH6213 according to his willH7522; and he shall exaltH7311 himself, and magnifyH1431 himself above every godH410, and shall speakH1696 marvellous thingsH6381 against the GodH410 of godsH410, and shall prosperH6743 till the indignationH2195 be accomplishedH3615: for that that is determinedH2782 shall be doneH6213.
WhoG5101 isG2076 a liarG5583 butG1508 he that deniethG720 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG2076+G3756 the ChristG5547? HeG3778 isG2076 antichristG500, that deniethG720 the FatherG3962 andG2532 the SonG5207.
AndG2532 everyG3956 spiritG4151 thatG3739 confessethG3670 notG3361 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is comeG2064 inG1722 the fleshG4561 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316: andG2532 thisG5124 isG2076 that spirit of antichristG500, whereofG3739 ye have heardG191 thatG3754 it should comeG2064; and evenG2532 nowG3568 alreadyG2235 is itG2076 inG1722 the worldG2889.
LetG1818 noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG1818 youG5209 byG2596 anyG3367 meansG5158: forG3754 that day shall not come, exceptG3362 there comeG2064 a falling awayG646 firstG4412, andG2532 that manG444 of sinG266 be revealedG601, the sonG5207 of perditionG684;
WhoG3588 opposethG480 andG2532 exaltethG5229 himself aboveG1909 allG3956 that is calledG3004 GodG2316, orG2228 that is worshippedG4574; soG5620 that heG846 asG5613 GodG2316 sittethG2523 inG1519 the templeG3485 of GodG2316, shewingG584 himselfG1438 thatG3754 he isG2076 GodG2316.
The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.
And such as do wickedlyH7561 against the covenantH1285 shall he corruptH2610 by flatteriesH2514: but the peopleH5971 that do knowH3045 their GodH430 shall be strongH2388, and doH6213 exploits. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And on this mannerH1697 didH6213 AbsalomH53 to all IsraelH3478 that cameH935 to the kingH4428 for judgmentH4941: so AbsalomH53 stoleH1589 the heartsH3820 of the menH582 of IsraelH3478.
But when AthaliahH6271 the motherH517 of AhaziahH274 sawH7200 that her sonH1121 was deadH4191, she aroseH6965 and destroyedH1696 all the seedH2233 royalH4467 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
But JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of the kingH4428, tookH3947 JoashH3101 the sonH1121 of AhaziahH274, and stoleH1589 him from amongH8432 the king'sH4428 sonsH1121 that were slainH4191, and putH5414 him and his nurseH3243 in a bedchamberH2315+H4296. So JehoshabeathH3090, the daughterH1323 of kingH4428 JehoramH3088, the wifeH802 of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, (for she was the sisterH269 of AhaziahH274,) hidH5641 him fromH6440 AthaliahH6271, so that she slewH4191 him not.
And he was with them hidH2244 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 sixH8337 yearsH8141: and AthaliahH6271 reignedH4427 over the landH776.
I knowG1492 thyG4675 worksG2041, andG2532 whereG4226 thou dwellestG2730, even whereG3699 Satan'sG4567 seatG2362 is: andG2532 thou holdest fastG2902 myG3450 nameG3686, andG2532 hastG720 notG3756 deniedG720 myG3450 faithG4102, evenG2532 inG1722 those daysG2250 whereinG1722+G3739 AntipasG493 was myG3450 faithfulG4103 martyrG3144, whoG3739 was slainG615 amongG3844 youG5213, whereG3699 SatanG4567 dwellethG2730.
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
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.
So JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 that dayH3117, and setH7760 them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in ShechemH7927.
And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 these wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430, and tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and set it upH6965 there under an oakH427, that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.
