And Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3111 was over both the Cherethites H3774 and the Pelethites; H6432 and David's H1732 sons H1121 were chief H3548 rulers.
And the princes H8269 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 said H559 to Hanun H2586 their lord, H113 Think H5869 you that David H1732 does honor H3513 your father, H1 that he has sent H7971 comforters H5162 to you? has not David H1732 rather sent H7971 his servants H5650 to you, to search H2713 the city, H5892 and to spy H7270 it out, and to overthrow H2015 it?
4
Why Hanun H2586 took H3947 David's H1732 servants, H5650 and shaved H1548 off the one half H2677 of their beards, H2206 and cut H3772 off their garments H4063 in the middle, H2677 even to their buttocks, H8357 and sent H7971 them away.
And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came H3318 out, and put the battle H4421 in array H6186 at the entering H6607 in of the gate: H8179 and the Syrians H758 of Zoba, H6678 and of Rehob, H7340 and Ishtob, H382 and Maacah, H4601 were by themselves H905 in the field. H7704
And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of Abishai H52 his brother, H251 that he might put them in array H6186 against H7125 the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983
11
And he said, H559 If H518 the Syrians H758 be too strong H2388 for me, then you shall help H3444 me: but if H518 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for you, then I will come H1980 and help H3467 you.
12
Be of good courage, H2388 and let us play the men H2388 for our people, H5971 and for the cities H5892 of our God: H430 and the LORD H3068 do H6213 that which seems H5869 him good. H2896
13
And Joab H3097 drew near, H5066 and the people H5971 that were with him, to the battle H4421 against the Syrians: H758 and they fled H5127 before H6440 him.
And Asa H609 and the people H5971 that were with him pursued H7291 them to Gerar: H1642 and the Ethiopians H3569 were overthrown, H5307 that they could not recover H4241 themselves; H1992 for they were destroyed H7665 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and before H6440 his host; H4264 and they carried H5375 away very H3966 much H7235 spoil. H7998
It came H1961 to pass after H310 this H3651 also, that the children H1121 of Moab, H4124 and the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and with them other beside the Ammonites, H5984 came H935 against H5921 Jehoshaphat H3092 to battle. H4421
And said, H559 O LORD H3068 God H430 of our fathers, H1 are not you God H430 in heaven? H8064 and rule H4910 not you over all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the heathen? H1471 and in your hand H3027 is there not power H3581 and might, H1369 so that none H369 is able to withstand H3320 you?
Behold, H2009 I say, how they reward H1580 us, to come H935 to cast H1644 us out of your possession, H3425 which H834 you have given us to inherit. H3423
You shall not need to fight H3898 in this H2063 battle: set H3320 yourselves, stand H5975 you still, and see H7200 the salvation H3444 of the LORD H3068 with you, O Judah H3063 and Jerusalem: H3389 fear H3372 not, nor H408 be dismayed; H2865 to morrow H4279 go H3318 out against H6440 them: for the LORD H3068 will be with you.
And when Jehoshaphat H3092 and his people H5971 came H935 to take H962 away the spoil H7998 of them, they found H4672 among them in abundance H7230 both riches H7399 with the dead H6297 bodies, H6297 and precious H2530 jewels, H3627 which they stripped H5337 off for themselves, more than H369 they could carry H4853 away: and they were three H7969 days H3117 in gathering H962 of the spoil, H7998 it was so much. H7227
And he walked H3212 in the way H1870 of Asa H609 his father, H25 and departed H5493 not from it, doing H6213 that which was right H3477 in the sight H5869 of the LORD. H3068
33
However, the high H1116 places were not taken H5493 away: H5493 for as yet H5750 the people H5971 had not prepared H3559 their hearts H3824 to the God H430 of their fathers. H1
And it came H1961 to pass, when king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 heard H8085 it, that he rent H7167 his clothes, H899 and covered H3680 himself with sackcloth, H8242 and went H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
Behold, H2005 I will send H7971 a blast H7307 on him, and he shall hear H8085 a rumor, H8052 and return H7725 to his own land; H776 and I will cause him to fall H5307 by the sword H2719 in his own land. H776
And have cast H5414 their gods H430 into the fire: H784 for they were no H3808 gods, H430 but the work H4639 of men's H120 hands, H3027 wood H6086 and stone: H68 therefore they have destroyed H6 them.
By your servants H5650 have you reproached H2778 the Lord, H136 and have said, H559 By the multitude H7230 of my chariots H7393 am I come H5927 up to the height H4791 of the mountains, H2022 to the sides H3411 of Lebanon; H3844 and I will cut H3772 down the tall H6967 cedars H730 thereof, and the choice H4005 fir H1265 trees thereof: and I will enter H935 into the height H4791 of his border, H7093 and the forest H3293 of his Carmel. H3760
Therefore their inhabitants H3427 were of small H7116 power, H3027 they were dismayed H2865 and confounded: H954 they were as the grass H6212 of the field, H7704 and as the green H3419 herb, H1877 as the grass H2682 on the housetops, H1406 and as corn blasted H7709 before H6440 it be grown H7054 up.
28
But I know H3045 your stayed, H3427 and your going H3318 out, and your coming H935 in, and your rage H7264 against H413 me.
And this H2088 shall be a sign H226 to you, You shall eat H398 this year H8141 such as grows H5599 of itself; and the second H8145 year H8141 that which springs H7823 of the same: and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232 you, and reap, H7114 and plant H5193 vineyards, H3754 and eat H398 the fruit H6529 thereof.
And it came H1961 to pass, as he was worshipping H7812 in the house H1004 of Nisroch H5268 his god, H430 that Adrammelech H152 and Sharezer H8272 his sons H1121 smote H5221 him with the sword; H2719 and they escaped H4422 into the land H776 of Armenia: H780 and Esarhaddon H634 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead. H8478
And that the passages H4569 are stopped, H8610 and the reeds H98 they have burned H8313 with fire, H784 and the men H582 of war H4421 are affrighted. H926
And the unicorns H7214 shall come H3381 down H3381 with them, and the bullocks H6499 with the bulls; H47 and their land H776 shall be soaked H7301 with blood, H1818 and their dust H6083 made fat H1878 with fatness. H2459
