The king's H4428 wrath H2197 is as the roaring H5099 of a lion; H3715 but his favor H7522 is as dew H2919 on the grass. H6212

In the light H216 of the king's H4428 countenance H6440 is life; H2416 and his favor H7522 is as a cloud H5645 of the latter H4456 rain. H4456

Many H7227 seek H1245 the ruler's H4910 favor; H6440 but every man's H376 judgment H4941 comes from the LORD. H3068

And Joseph H3130 was the governor H7989 over H5921 the land, H776 and he it was that sold H7666 to all H3605 the people H5971 of the land: H776 and Joseph's H3130 brothers H251 came, H935 and bowed H7812 down H7812 themselves before him with their faces H639 to the earth. H776

And said H559 to the king, H4428 Let not my lord H113 impute H2803 iniquity H5771 to me, neither H408 do you remember H2142 that which H834 your servant H5650 did perversely H5753 the day H3117 that my lord H113 the king H4428 went H3318 out of Jerusalem, H3389 that the king H4428 should take H7760 it to his heart. H3820

But Abishai H52 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 answered H6030 and said, H559 Shall not Shimei H8096 be put to death H4191 for this, H2063 because H3588 he cursed H7043 the LORD's H3068 anointed? H4899

Therefore the king H4428 said H559 to Shimei, H8096 You shall not die. H4191 And the king H4428 swore H7650 to him.

And it came H1961 to pass, when H3588 he was come H935 to Jerusalem H3389 to meet H7125 the king, H4428 that the king H4428 said H559 to him, Why H4100 went H1980 not you with me, Mephibosheth? H4648

And he has slandered H7270 your servant H5650 to my lord H113 the king; H4428 but my lord H113 the king H4428 is as an angel H4397 of God: H430 do H6213 therefore what is good H2896 in your eyes. H5869

And the king H4428 said H559 to him, Why H4100 speak H1696 you any more H5750 of your matters? H1697 I have said, H559 You and Ziba H6717 divide H2505 the land. H7704

And Barzillai H1271 the Gileadite H1569 came H3381 down H3381 from Rogelim, H7274 and went H5674 over H5674 Jordan H3383 with the king, H4428 to conduct H7971 him over H5674 Jordan. H3383

And the king H4428 said H559 to Barzillai, H1271 Come H5674 you over H5674 with me, and I will feed H3557 you with me in Jerusalem. H3389

I am this day H3117 fourscore H8084 years H8141 old: H1121 and can I discern H3045 between H996 good H2896 and evil? H7451 can your servant H5650 taste H2938 what H853 H834 I eat H398 or H854 what H853 H834 I drink? H8354 can I hear H8085 any more H5750 the voice H693 of singing H7891 men and singing H7891 women? why H4100 then should your servant H5650 be yet H5750 a burden H4853 to my lord H113 the king? H4428

Let your servant, H5650 I pray H4994 you, turn H7725 back H7725 again, H7725 that I may die H4191 in my own city, H5892 and be buried by the grave H6913 of my father H1 and of my mother. H517 But behold H2009 your servant H5650 Chimham; H3643 let him go H5674 over H5674 with my lord H113 the king; H4428 and do H6213 to him what H853 H834 shall seem H1961 H5869 good H2896 to you.

And all H3605 the people H5971 went H5674 over H5674 Jordan. H3383 And when the king H4428 was come H5674 over, H5674 the king H4428 kissed H5401 Barzillai, H1271 and blessed H1288 him; and he returned H7725 to his own place. H4725

If I laughed H7832 on H413 them, they believed H539 it not; and the light H216 of my countenance H6440 they cast H5307 not down. H5307

I chose H977 out their way, H1870 and sat H3427 chief, H7218 and dwelled H7931 as a king H4428 in the army, H1416 as one that comforts H5162 the mourners. H57

And the daughter H1323 of Tyre H6865 shall be there with a gift; H4503 even the rich H6223 among the people H5971 shall entreat H2470 your favor. H6440

And when they were come G2064 into G1519 the house, G3614 they saw G2147 the young G3813 child G3813 with Mary G3137 his mother, G3384 and fell G4098 down, G4098 and worshipped G4352 him: and when they had opened G455 their treasures, G2344 they presented G4374 to him gifts; G1435 gold, G5557 and frankincense G3030 and myrrh. G4666

A gift H7810 is as a precious H2580 stone H68 in the eyes H5869 of him that has H1167 it: wherever H413 it turns, H6437 it prospers. H7919

A man's H120 gift H4976 makes room H7337 for him, and brings H5148 him before H6440 great H1419 men.

A gift H4976 in secret H5643 pacifies H3711 anger: H639 and a reward H7810 in the bosom H2436 strong H5794 wrath. H2534

And say H559 you moreover, H1571 Behold, H2009 your servant H5650 Jacob H3290 is behind H310 us. For he said, H559 I will appease H3722 H6440 him with the present H4503 that goes H1980 before H6440 me, and afterward H310 H3651 I will see H7200 his face; H6440 peradventure H194 he will accept H5375 of me.

And the men H582 took H3947 that present, H4503 and they took H3947 double H4932 money H3701 in their hand H3027 and Benjamin; H1144 and rose H6965 up, and went H3381 down H3381 to Egypt, H4714 and stood H5975 before H6440 Joseph. H3130

For the wages G3800 of sin G266 is death; G2288 but the gift G5486 of God G2316 is eternal G166 life G2222 through G1722 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our Lord. G2962
