Judges 1:1--21:25

1:1
Now after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Joshua
<03091>
it came to pass, that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
asked
<07592> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Who shall go up
<05927> (8799)
for us against the Canaanites
<03669>
first
<08462>_,
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against them?
1:2
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Judah
<03063>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)_:
behold, I have delivered
<05414> (8804)
the land
<0776>
into his hand
<03027>_.
1:3
And Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Simeon
<08095>
his brother
<0251>_,
Come up
<05927> (8798)
with me into my lot
<01486>_,
that we may fight
<03898> (8735)
against the Canaanites
<03669>_;
and I likewise will go
<01980> (8804)
with thee into thy lot
<01486>_.
So Simeon
<08095>
went
<03212> (8799)
with him.
1:4
And Judah
<03063>
went up
<05927> (8799)_;
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
the Canaanites
<03669>
and the Perizzites
<06522>
into their hand
<03027>_:
and they slew
<05221> (8686)
of them in Bezek
<0966>
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
1:5
And they found
<04672> (8799)
Adonibezek
<0137>
in Bezek
<0966>_:
and they fought
<03898> (8735)
against him, and they slew
<05221> (8686)
the Canaanites
<03669>
and the Perizzites
<06522>_.
1:6
But Adonibezek
<0137>
fled
<05127> (8799)_;
and they pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
him, and caught
<0270> (8799)
him, and cut off
<07112> (8762)
his thumbs
<0931> <03027>
and his great toes
<07272>_.
1:7
And Adonibezek
<0137>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Threescore and ten
<07657>
kings
<04428>_,
having their thumbs
<0931> <03027>
and their great toes
<07272>
cut off
<07112> (8794)_,
gathered
<03950> (8764)
[their meat] under my table
<07979>_:
as I have done
<06213> (8804)_,
so God
<0430>
hath requited
<07999> (8765)
me. And they brought
<0935> (8686)
him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and there he died
<04191> (8799)_.
{their thumbs...: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet} {gathered: or, gleaned}
1:8
Now the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
had fought
<03898> (8735)
against Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and had taken
<03920> (8799)
it, and smitten
<05221> (8686)
it with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and set
<07971> (8765)
the city
<05892>
on fire
<0784>_.
1:9
And afterward
<0310>
the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
went down
<03381> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against the Canaanites
<03669>_,
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the mountain
<02022>_,
and in the south
<05045>_,
and in the valley
<08219>_.
{valley: or, low country}
1:10
And Judah
<03063>
went
<03212> (8799)
against the Canaanites
<03669>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Hebron
<02275>_:
(now the name
<08034>
of Hebron
<02275>
before
<06440>
[was] Kirjatharba
<07153>:)
and they slew
<05221> (8686)
Sheshai
<08344>_,
and Ahiman
<0289>_,
and Talmai
<08526>_.
1:11
And from thence he went
<03212> (8799)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Debir
<01688>_:
and the name
<08034>
of Debir
<01688>
before
<06440>
[was] Kirjathsepher
<07158>_:
1:12
And Caleb
<03612>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
He that smiteth
<05221> (8686)
Kirjathsepher
<07158>_,
and taketh
<03920> (8804)
it, to him will I give
<05414> (8804)
Achsah
<05915>
my daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>_.
1:13
And Othniel
<06274>
the son
<01121>
of Kenaz
<07073>_,
Caleb's
<03612>
younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>_,
took
<03920> (8799)
it: and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him Achsah
<05915>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>_.
1:14
And it came to pass, when she came
<0935> (8800)
[to him], that she moved
<05496> (8686)
him to ask
<07592> (8800)
of her father
<01>
a field
<07704>_:
and she lighted
<06795> (8799)
from off [her] ass
<02543>_;
and Caleb
<03612>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What wilt thou?
1:15
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Give
<03051> (8798)
me a blessing
<01293>_:
for thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
me a south
<05045>
land
<0776>_;
give
<05414> (8804)
me also springs
<01543>
of water
<04325>_.
And Caleb
<03612>
gave
<05414> (8799)
her the upper
<05942>
springs
<01543>
and the nether
<08482>
springs
<01543>_.
1:16
And the children
<01121>
of the Kenite
<07017>_,
Moses
<04872>_'
father in law
<02859> (8802)_,
went up
<05927> (8804)
out of the city
<05892>
of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>
with the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
into the wilderness
<04057>
of Judah
<03063>_,
which [lieth] in the south
<05045>
of Arad
<06166>_;
and they went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<0854>
the people
<05971>_.
1:17
And Judah
<03063>
went
<03212> (8799)
with Simeon
<08095>
his brother
<0251>_,
and they slew
<05221> (8686)
the Canaanites
<03669>
that inhabited
<03427> (8802)
Zephath
<06857>_,
and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)
it. And the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Hormah
<02767>_.
1:18
Also Judah
<03063>
took
<03920> (8799)
Gaza
<05804>
with the coast
<01366>
thereof, and Askelon
<0831>
with the coast
<01366>
thereof, and Ekron
<06138>
with the coast
<01366>
thereof.
1:19
And the LORD
<03068>
was with Judah
<03063>_;
and he drave out
<03423> (8686)
[the inhabitants of] the mountain
<02022>_;
but could not
<03808>
drive out
<03423> (8687)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the valley
<06010>_,
because they had chariots
<07393>
of iron
<01270>_.
{drave...: or, possessed the mountain}
1:20
And they gave
<05414> (8799)
Hebron
<02275>
unto Caleb
<03612>_,
as Moses
<04872>
said
<01696> (8765)_:
and he expelled
<03423> (8686)
thence the three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
of Anak
<06061>_.
1:21
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
did not drive out
<03423> (8689)
the Jebusites
<02983>
that inhabited
<03427> (8802)
Jerusalem
<03389>_;
but the Jebusites
<02983>
dwell
<03427> (8799)
with the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
in Jerusalem
<03389>
unto this day
<03117>_.
1:22
And the house
<01004>
of Joseph
<03130>_,
they also went up
<05927> (8799)
against Bethel
<01008>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
[was] with them.
1:23
And the house
<01004>
of Joseph
<03130>
sent to descry
<08446> (8686)
Bethel
<01008>_.
(Now the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
before
<06440>
[was] Luz
<03870>.)
1:24
And the spies
<08104> (8802)
saw
<07200> (8799)
a man
<0376>
come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of the city
<05892>_,
and they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Shew
<07200> (8685)
us, we pray thee, the entrance
<03996>
into the city
<05892>_,
and we will shew
<06213> (8804)
thee mercy
<02617>_.
1:25
And when he shewed
<07200> (8686)
them the entrance
<03996>
into the city
<05892>_,
they smote
<05221> (8686)
the city
<05892>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_;
but they let go
<07971> (8765)
the man
<0376>
and all his family
<04940>_.
1:26
And the man
<0376>
went
<03212> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the Hittites
<02850>_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
a city
<05892>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
thereof Luz
<03870>_:
which [is] the name
<08034>
thereof unto this day
<03117>_.
1:27
Neither did Manasseh
<04519>
drive out
<03423> (8689)
[the inhabitants of] Bethshean
<01052>
and her towns
<01323>_,
nor Taanach
<08590>
and her towns
<01323>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Dor
<01756>
and her towns
<01323>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Ibleam
<02991>
and her towns
<01323>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Megiddo
<04023>
and her towns
<01323>_:
but the Canaanites
<03669>
would
<02974> (8686)
dwell
<03427> (8800)
in that land
<0776>_.
1:28
And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>
was strong
<02388> (8804)_,
that they put
<07760> (8799)
the Canaanites
<03669>
to tribute
<04522>_,
and did not utterly
<03423> (8687)
drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.
1:29
Neither did Ephraim
<0669>
drive out
<03423> (8689)
the Canaanites
<03669>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Gezer
<01507>_;
but the Canaanites
<03669>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Gezer
<01507>
among
<07130>
them.
1:30
Neither did Zebulun
<02074>
drive out
<03423> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Kitron
<07003>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Nahalol
<05096>_;
but the Canaanites
<03669>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<07130>
them, and became tributaries
<04522>_.
1:31
Neither did Asher
<0836>
drive out
<03423> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Accho
<05910>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Zidon
<06721>_,
nor of Ahlab
<0303>_,
nor of Achzib
<0392>_,
nor of Helbah
<02462>_,
nor of Aphik
<0663>_,
nor of Rehob
<07340>_:
1:32
But the Asherites
<0843>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<07130>
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_:
for they did not drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.
1:33
Neither did Naphtali
<05321>
drive out
<03423> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,
nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Bethanath
<01043>_;
but he dwelt
<03427> (8799)
among
<07130>
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_:
nevertheless the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Bethshemesh
<01053>
and of Bethanath
<01043>
became tributaries
<04522>
unto them.
1:34
And the Amorites
<0567>
forced
<03905> (8799)
the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>
into the mountain
<02022>_:
for they would not suffer
<05414> (8804)
them to come down
<03381> (8800)
to the valley
<06010>_:
1:35
But the Amorites
<0567>
would
<02974> (8686)
dwell
<03427> (8800)
in mount
<02022>
Heres
<02776>
in Aijalon
<0357>_,
and in Shaalbim
<08169>_:
yet the hand
<03027>
of the house
<01004>
of Joseph
<03130>
prevailed
<03513> (8799)_,
so that they became tributaries
<04522>_.
{prevailed: Heb. was heavy}
1:36
And the coast
<01366>
of the Amorites
<0567>
[was] from the going up
<04608>
to Akrabbim
<04610>_,
from the rock
<05553>_,
and upward
<04605>_.
{the going...: or, Maalehacrabbim}
2:1
And an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
came up
<05927> (8799)
from Gilgal
<01537>
to Bochim
<01066>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I made you to go up
<05927> (8686)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
and have brought
<0935> (8686)
you unto the land
<0776>
which I sware
<07650> (8738)
unto your fathers
<01>_;
and I said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will never
<05769>
break
<06565> (8686)
my covenant
<01285>
with you. {angel: or, messenger}
2:2
And ye shall make
<03772> (8799)
no league
<01285>
with the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of this land
<0776>_;
ye shall throw down
<05422> (8799)
their altars
<04196>_:
but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_:
why have ye done
<06213> (8804)
this?
2:3
Wherefore I also said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will not drive them out
<01644> (8762)
from before
<06440>
you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides
<06654>_,
and their gods
<0430>
shall be a snare
<04170>
unto you.
2:4
And it came to pass, when the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8763)
these words
<01697>
unto all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that the people
<05971>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
2:5
And they called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Bochim
<01066>_:
and they sacrificed
<02076> (8799)
there unto the LORD
<03068>_.
{Bochim: that is, Weepers}
2:6
And when Joshua
<03091>
had let the people
<05971>
go
<07971> (8762)_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went
<03212> (8799)
every man
<0376>
unto his inheritance
<05159>
to possess
<03423> (8800)
the land
<0776>_.
2:7
And the people
<05971>
served
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
all the days
<03117>
of Joshua
<03091>_,
and all the days
<03117>
of the elders
<02205>
that outlived
<0748> (8689) <03117> <0310>
Joshua
<03091>_,
who had seen
<07200> (8804)
all the great
<01419>
works
<04639>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he did
<06213> (8804)
for Israel
<03478>_.
{outlived: Heb. prolonged days after}
2:8
And Joshua
<03091>
the son
<01121>
of Nun
<05126>_,
the servant
<05650>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
died
<04191> (8799)_,
[being] an hundred
<03967>
and ten
<06235>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>_.
2:9
And they buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the border
<01366>
of his inheritance
<05159>
in Timnathheres
<08556>_,
in the mount
<02022>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
on the north side
<06828>
of the hill
<02022>
Gaash
<01608>_.
{Timnathhares: also called, Timnathserah}
2:10
And also all that generation
<01755>
were gathered
<0622> (8738)
unto their fathers
<01>_:
and there arose
<06965> (8799)
another
<0312>
generation
<01755>
after
<0310>
them, which knew
<03045> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>_,
nor yet the works
<04639>
which he had done
<06213> (8804)
for Israel
<03478>_.
2:11
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>_:
2:12
And they forsook
<05800> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of their fathers
<01>_,
which brought them out
<03318> (8688)
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
of the gods
<0430>
of the people
<05971>
that [were] round about
<05439>
them, and bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD
<03068>
to anger
<03707> (8686)_.
2:13
And they forsook
<05800> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
Baal
<01168>
and Ashtaroth
<06252>_.
2:14
And the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was hot
<02734> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and he delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hands
<03027>
of spoilers
<08154> (8802)
that spoiled
<08155> (8799)
them, and he sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hands
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)
round about
<05439>_,
so that they could
<03201> (8804)
not any longer
<05750>
stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
2:15
Whithersoever they went out
<03318> (8804)_,
the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
was against them for evil
<07451>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
had said
<01696> (8765)_,
and as the LORD
<03068>
had sworn
<07650> (8738)
unto them: and they were greatly
<03966>
distressed
<03334> (8799)_.
2:16
Nevertheless the LORD
<03068>
raised up
<06965> (8686)
judges
<08199> (8802)_,
which delivered
<03467> (8686)
them out of the hand
<03027>
of those that spoiled
<08154> (8802)
them. {delivered: Heb. saved}
2:17
And yet they would not hearken
<08085> (8804)
unto their judges
<08199> (8802)_,
but they went a whoring
<02181> (8804)
after
<0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
themselves unto them: they turned
<05493> (8804)
quickly
<04118>
out of the way
<01870>
which their fathers
<01>
walked in
<01980> (8804)_,
obeying
<08085> (8800)
the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
[but] they did
<06213> (8804)
not so.
2:18
And when the LORD
<03068>
raised
<06965> (8689)
them up judges
<08199> (8802)_,
then the LORD
<03068>
was with the judge
<08199> (8802)_,
and delivered
<03467> (8689)
them out of the hand
<03027>
of their enemies
<0341> (8802)
all the days
<03117>
of the judge
<08199> (8802)_:
for it repented
<05162> (8735)
the LORD
<03068>
because
<06440>
of their groanings
<05009>
by reason of them that oppressed
<03905> (8801)
them and vexed
<01766> (8802)
them.
2:19
And it came to pass, when the judge
<08199> (8802)
was dead
<04194>_,
[that] they returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and corrupted
<07843> (8689)
[themselves] more than their fathers
<01>_,
in following
<03212> (8800) <0310>
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
them, and to bow down
<07812> (8692)
unto them; they ceased
<05307> (8689)
not from their own doings
<04611>_,
nor from their stubborn
<07186>
way
<01870>_.
{corrupted...: or, were corrupt} {ceased...: Heb. let nothing fall of their}
2:20
And the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was hot
<02734> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because that this people
<01471>
hath transgressed
<05674> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>
which I commanded
<06680> (8765)
their fathers
<01>_,
and have not hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto my voice
<06963>_;
2:21
I also will not henceforth
<03254> (8686)
drive out
<03423> (8687)
any
<0376>
from before
<06440>
them of the nations
<01471>
which Joshua
<03091>
left
<05800> (8804)
when he died
<04191> (8799)_:
2:22
That through them I may prove
<05254> (8763)
Israel
<03478>_,
whether they will keep
<08104> (8802)
the way
<01870>
of the LORD
<03068>
to walk
<03212> (8800)
therein, as their fathers
<01>
did keep
<08104> (8804)
[it], or not.
2:23
Therefore the LORD
<03068>
left
<03240> (8686)
those nations
<01471>_,
without
<01115>
driving them out
<03423> (8687)
hastily
<04118>_;
neither delivered
<05414> (8804)
he them into the hand
<03027>
of Joshua
<03091>_.
{left: or, suffered}
3:1
Now these [are] the nations
<01471>
which the LORD
<03068>
left
<03240> (8689)_,
to prove
<05254> (8763)
Israel
<03478>
by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known
<03045> (8804)
all the wars
<04421>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
3:2
Only that
<07535>
the generations
<01755>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
might know
<03045> (8800)_,
to teach
<03925> (8763)
them war
<04421>_,
at the least such as before
<06440>
knew
<03045> (8804)
nothing thereof;
3:3
[Namely], five
<02568>
lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and all the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and the Sidonians
<06722>_,
and the Hivites
<02340>
that dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in mount
<02022>
Lebanon
<03844>_,
from mount
<02022>
Baalhermon
<01179>
unto the entering in
<0935> (8800)
of Hamath
<02574>_.
3:4
And they were to prove
<05254> (8763)
Israel
<03478>
by them, to know
<03045> (8800)
whether they would hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto the commandments
<04687>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
which he commanded
<06680> (8765)
their fathers
<01>
by the hand
<03027>
of Moses
<04872>_.
3:5
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
dwelt
<03427> (8804)
among
<07130>
the Canaanites
<03669>_,
Hittites
<02850>_,
and Amorites
<0567>_,
and Perizzites
<06522>_,
and Hivites
<02340>_,
and Jebusites
<02983>_:
3:6
And they took
<03947> (8799)
their daughters
<01323>
to be their wives
<0802>_,
and gave
<05414> (8804)
their daughters
<01323>
to their sons
<01121>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
their gods
<0430>_.
3:7
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and forgat
<07911> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>
and the groves
<0842>_.
3:8
Therefore the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was hot
<02734> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and he sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Chushanrishathaim
<03573>
king
<04428>
of Mesopotamia
<0763>_:
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
served
<05647> (8799)
Chushanrishathaim
<03573>
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>_.
{Mesopotamia: Heb. Aramnaharaim}
3:9
And when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
the LORD
<03068>
raised up
<06965> (8686)
a deliverer
<03467> (8688)
to the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
who delivered
<03467> (8686)
them, [even] Othniel
<06274>
the son
<01121>
of Kenaz
<07073>_,
Caleb's
<03612>
younger
<06996>
brother
<0251>_.
{deliverer: Heb. saviour}
3:10
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came upon him, and he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
to war
<04421>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
Chushanrishathaim
<03573>
king
<04428>
of Mesopotamia
<0763>
into his hand
<03027>_;
and his hand
<03027>
prevailed
<05810> (8799)
against Chushanrishathaim
<03573>_.
{came: Heb. was} {Mesopotamia: Heb. Aram}
3:11
And the land
<0776>
had rest
<08252> (8799)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
And Othniel
<06274>
the son
<01121>
of Kenaz
<07073>
died
<04191> (8799)_.
3:12
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
again
<03254> (8686)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
strengthened
<02388> (8762)
Eglon
<05700>
the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
against Israel
<03478>_,
because they had done
<06213> (8804)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
3:13
And he gathered
<0622> (8799)
unto him the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
and Amalek
<06002>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
and smote
<05221> (8686)
Israel
<03478>_,
and possessed
<03423> (8799)
the city
<05892>
of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>_.
3:14
So the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
served
<05647> (8799)
Eglon
<05700>
the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
eighteen
<08083> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
3:15
But when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
the LORD
<03068>
raised them up
<06965> (8686)
a deliverer
<03467> (8688)_,
Ehud
<0164>
the son
<01121>
of Gera
<01617>_,
a Benjamite
<01145>_,
a man
<0376>
lefthanded
<0334> <03225>_:
and by him
<03027>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a present
<04503>
unto Eglon
<05700>
the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_.
{a Benjamite: or, the son of Jemini} {lefthanded: Heb. shut of his right hand}
3:16
But Ehud
<0164>
made
<06213> (8799)
him a dagger
<02719>
which had two
<08147>
edges
<06366>_,
of a cubit
<01574>
length
<0753>_;
and he did gird
<02296> (8799)
it under his raiment
<04055>
upon his right
<03225>
thigh
<03409>_.
3:17
And he brought
<07126> (8686)
the present
<04503>
unto Eglon
<05700>
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_:
and Eglon
<05700>
[was] a very
<03966>
fat
<01277>
man
<0376>_.
3:18
And when he had made an end
<03615> (8765)
to offer
<07126> (8687)
the present
<04503>_,
he sent away
<07971> (8762)
the people
<05971>
that bare
<05375> (8802)
the present
<04503>_.
3:19
But he himself turned again
<07725> (8804)
from the quarries
<06456>
that [were] by Gilgal
<01537>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have a secret
<05643>
errand
<01697>
unto thee, O king
<04428>_:
who said
<0559> (8799)_,
Keep silence
<02013> (8761)_.
And all that stood
<05975> (8802)
by him went out
<03318> (8799)
from him. {quarries: or, graven images}
3:20
And Ehud
<0164>
came
<0935> (8804)
unto him; and he was sitting
<03427> (8802)
in a summer
<04747>
parlour
<05944>_,
which he had for himself alone. And Ehud
<0164>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have a message
<01697>
from God
<0430>
unto thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)
out of [his] seat
<03678>_.
{a summer...: Heb. a parlour of cooling}
3:21
And Ehud
<0164>
put forth
<07971> (8799)
his left
<08040>
hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the dagger
<02719>
from his right
<03225>
thigh
<03409>_,
and thrust
<08628> (8799)
it into his belly
<0990>_:
3:22
And the haft
<05325>
also went in
<0935> (8799)
after
<0310>
the blade
<03851>_;
and the fat
<02459>
closed
<05462> (8799)
upon
<01157>
the blade
<03851>_,
so that he could not draw
<08025> (8804)
the dagger
<02719>
out of his belly
<0990>_;
and the dirt
<06574>
came out
<03318> (8799)_.
{the dirt...: or, it came out at the buttocks}
3:23
Then Ehud
<0164>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
through the porch
<04528>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>
upon him, and locked
<05274> (8804)
them.
3:24
When he was gone out
<03318> (8804)_,
his servants
<05650>
came
<0935> (8804)_;
and when they saw
<07200> (8799)
that, behold, the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>
[were] locked
<05274> (8803)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely he covereth
<05526> (8688)
his feet
<07272>
in his summer
<04747>
chamber
<02315>_.
{covereth...: or, doeth his easement}
3:25
And they tarried
<02342> (8799)
till they were ashamed
<0954> (8800)_:
and, behold, he opened
<06605> (8802)
not the doors
<01817>
of the parlour
<05944>_;
therefore they took
<03947> (8799)
a key
<04668>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
[them]: and, behold, their lord
<0113>
[was] fallen down
<05307> (8802)
dead
<04191> (8801)
on the earth
<0776>_.
3:26
And Ehud
<0164>
escaped
<04422> (8738)
while they tarried
<04102> (8699)_,
and passed beyond
<05674> (8804)
the quarries
<06456>_,
and escaped
<04422> (8735)
unto Seirath
<08167>_.
3:27
And it came to pass, when he was come
<0935> (8800)_,
that he blew
<08628> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>
in the mountain
<02022>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went down
<03381> (8799)
with him from the mount
<02022>_,
and he before
<06440>
them.
3:28
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Follow
<07291> (8798)
after
<0310>
me: for the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
your enemies
<0341> (8802)
the Moabites
<04124>
into your hand
<03027>_.
And they went down
<03381> (8799)
after
<0310>
him, and took
<03920> (8799)
the fords
<04569>
of Jordan
<03383>
toward Moab
<04124>_,
and suffered
<05414> (8804)
not a man
<0376>
to pass over
<05674> (8800)_.
3:29
And they slew
<05221> (8686)
of Moab
<04124>
at that time
<06256>
about ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_,
all lusty
<08082>_,
and all men
<0376>
of valour
<02428>_;
and there escaped
<04422> (8738)
not a man
<0376>_.
{lusty: Heb. fat}
3:30
So Moab
<04124>
was subdued
<03665> (8735)
that day
<03117>
under the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the land
<0776>
had rest
<08252> (8799)
fourscore
<08084>
years
<08141>_.
3:31
And after
<0310>
him was Shamgar
<08044>
the son
<01121>
of Anath
<06067>_,
which slew
<05221> (8686)
of the Philistines
<06430>
six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
with an ox
<01241>
goad
<04451>_:
and he also delivered
<03467> (8686)
Israel
<03478>_.
4:1
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
again
<03254> (8686)
did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
when Ehud
<0164>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_.
4:2
And the LORD
<03068>
sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Jabin
<02985>
king
<04428>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
that reigned
<04427> (8804)
in Hazor
<02674>_;
the captain
<08269>
of whose host
<06635>
[was] Sisera
<05516>_,
which dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Harosheth
<02800>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_.
4:3
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
for he had nine
<08672>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>
of iron
<01270>_;
and twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
he mightily
<02394>
oppressed
<03905> (8804)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
4:4
And Deborah
<01683>_,
a prophetess
<05031>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Lapidoth
<03941>_,
she judged
<08199> (8802)
Israel
<03478>
at that time
<06256>_.
4:5
And she dwelt
<03427> (8802)
under the palm tree
<08560>
of Deborah
<01683>
between Ramah
<07414>
and Bethel
<01008>
in mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_:
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came up
<05927> (8799)
to her for judgment
<04941>_.
4:6
And she sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Barak
<01301>
the son
<01121>
of Abinoam
<042>
out of Kedeshnaphtali
<06943>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Hath not the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
commanded
<06680> (8765)_,
[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)
and draw
<04900> (8804)
toward mount
<02022>
Tabor
<08396>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
with thee ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of the children
<01121>
of Naphtali
<05321>
and of the children
<01121>
of Zebulun
<02074>_?
4:7
And I will draw
<04900> (8804)
unto thee to the river
<05158>
Kishon
<07028>
Sisera
<05516>_,
the captain
<08269>
of Jabin's
<02985>
army
<06635>_,
with his chariots
<07393>
and his multitude
<01995>_;
and I will deliver
<05414> (8804)
him into thine hand
<03027>_.
4:8
And Barak
<01301>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, If thou wilt go
<03212> (8799)
with me, then I will go
<01980> (8804)_:
but if thou wilt not go
<03212> (8799)
with me, [then] I will not go
<03212> (8799)_.
4:9
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will surely
<01980> (8800)
go
<03212> (8799)
with thee: notwithstanding
<0657>
the journey
<01870>
that thou takest
<01980> (8802)
shall not be for thine honour
<08597>_;
for the LORD
<03068>
shall sell
<04376> (8799)
Sisera
<05516>
into the hand
<03027>
of a woman
<0802>_.
And Deborah
<01683>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
with Barak
<01301>
to Kedesh
<06943>_.
4:10
And Barak
<01301>
called
<02199> (8686)
Zebulun
<02074>
and Naphtali
<05321>
to Kedesh
<06943>_;
and he went up
<05927> (8799)
with ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
at his feet
<07272>_:
and Deborah
<01683>
went up
<05927> (8799)
with him.
4:11
Now Heber
<02268>
the Kenite
<07017>_,
[which was] of the children
<01121>
of Hobab
<02246>
the father in law
<02859> (8802)
of Moses
<04872>_,
had severed
<06504> (8737)
himself from the Kenites
<07017>_,
and pitched
<05186> (8799)
his tent
<0168>
unto the plain
<0436>
of Zaanaim
<06815>_,
which [is] by Kedesh
<06943>_.
4:12
And they shewed
<05046> (8686)
Sisera
<05516>
that Barak
<01301>
the son
<01121>
of Abinoam
<042>
was gone up
<05927> (8804)
to mount
<02022>
Tabor
<08396>_.
4:13
And Sisera
<05516>
gathered together
<02199> (8686)
all his chariots
<07393>_,
[even] nine
<08672>
hundred
<03967>
chariots
<07393>
of iron
<01270>_,
and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, from Harosheth
<02800>
of the Gentiles
<01471>
unto the river
<05158>
of Kishon
<07028>_.
{together: Heb. by cry, or, proclamation}
4:14
And Deborah
<01683>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Barak
<01301>_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_;
for this [is] the day
<03117>
in which the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
Sisera
<05516>
into thine hand
<03027>_:
is not the LORD
<03068>
gone out
<03318> (8804)
before
<06440>
thee? So Barak
<01301>
went down
<03381> (8799)
from mount
<02022>
Tabor
<08396>_,
and ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
after
<0310>
him.
4:15
And the LORD
<03068>
discomfited
<02000> (8799)
Sisera
<05516>_,
and all [his] chariots
<07393>_,
and all [his] host
<04264>_,
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>
before
<06440>
Barak
<01301>_;
so that Sisera
<05516>
lighted down
<03381> (8799)
off [his] chariot
<04818>_,
and fled away
<05127> (8799)
on his feet
<07272>_.
4:16
But Barak
<01301>
pursued
<07291> (8804)
after
<0310>
the chariots
<07393>_,
and after the host
<04264>_,
unto Harosheth
<02800>
of the Gentiles
<01471>_:
and all the host
<04264>
of Sisera
<05516>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_;
[and] there was not a man
<0259>
left
<07604> (8738)_.
{a man: Heb. unto one}
4:17
Howbeit Sisera
<05516>
fled away
<05127> (8804)
on his feet
<07272>
to the tent
<0168>
of Jael
<03278>
the wife
<0802>
of Heber
<02268>
the Kenite
<07017>_:
for [there was] peace
<07965>
between Jabin
<02985>
the king
<04428>
of Hazor
<02674>
and the house
<01004>
of Heber
<02268>
the Kenite
<07017>_.
4:18
And Jael
<03278>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
Sisera
<05516>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Turn in
<05493> (8798)_,
my lord
<0113>_,
turn in
<05493> (8798)
to me; fear
<03372> (8799)
not. And when he had turned in
<05493> (8799)
unto her into the tent
<0168>_,
she covered
<03680> (8762)
him with a mantle
<08063>_.
{mantle: or, rug, or, blanket}
4:19
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
to drink
<08248> (8685)_;
for I am thirsty
<06770> (8804)_.
And she opened
<06605> (8799)
a bottle
<04997>
of milk
<02461>_,
and gave him drink
<08248> (8686)_,
and covered
<03680> (8762)
him.
4:20
Again he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Stand in
<05975> (8798)
the door
<06607>
of the tent
<0168>_,
and it shall be, when any man
<0376>
doth come
<0935> (8799)
and enquire
<07592> (8804)
of thee, and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Is there
<03426> (0)
any man
<0376>
here
<03426>_?
that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
No.
4:21
Then Jael
<03278>
Heber's
<02268>
wife
<0802>
took
<03947> (8799)
a nail
<03489>
of the tent
<0168>_,
and took
<07760> (8799)
an hammer
<04718>
in her hand
<03027>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
softly
<03814>
unto him, and smote
<08628> (8799)
the nail
<03489>
into his temples
<07541>_,
and fastened
<06795> (8799)
it into the ground
<0776>_:
for he was fast asleep
<07290> (8738)
and weary
<05774> (8799)_.
So he died
<04191> (8799)_.
{and took: Heb. and put}
4:22
And, behold, as Barak
<01301>
pursued
<07291> (8802)
Sisera
<05516>_,
Jael
<03278>
came out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and I will shew
<07200> (8686)
thee the man
<0376>
whom thou seekest
<01245> (8764)_.
And when he came
<0935> (8799)
into her [tent], behold, Sisera
<05516>
lay
<05307> (8802)
dead
<04191> (8801)_,
and the nail
<03489>
[was] in his temples
<07541>_.
4:23
So God
<0430>
subdued
<03665> (8686)
on that day
<03117>
Jabin
<02985>
the king
<04428>
of Canaan
<03667>
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
4:24
And the hand
<03027>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
prospered
<03212> (8799) <01980> (8800)_,
and prevailed
<07186>
against Jabin
<02985>
the king
<04428>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
until they had destroyed
<03772> (8689)
Jabin
<02985>
king
<04428>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
{prospered...: Heb. going went and was hard}
5:1
Then sang
<07891> (8799)
Deborah
<01683>
and Barak
<01301>
the son
<01121>
of Abinoam
<042>
on that day
<03117>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
5:2
Praise
<01288> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>
for the avenging
<06544> (8800) <06546>
of Israel
<03478>_,
when the people
<05971>
willingly offered
<05068> (8692)
themselves.
5:3
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O ye kings
<04428>_;
give ear
<0238> (8685)_,
O ye princes
<07336> (8802)_;
I, [even] I, will sing
<07891> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_;
I will sing
<02167> (8762)
[praise] to the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
5:4
LORD
<03068>_,
when thou wentest out
<03318> (8800)
of Seir
<08165>_,
when thou marchedst out
<06805> (8800)
of the field
<07704>
of Edom
<0123>_,
the earth
<0776>
trembled
<07493> (8804)_,
and the heavens
<08064>
dropped
<05197> (8804)_,
the clouds
<05645>
also dropped
<05197> (8804)
water
<04325>_.
5:5
The mountains
<02022>
melted
<05140> (8804)
from before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] that Sinai
<05514>
from before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{melted: Heb. flowed}
5:6
In the days
<03117>
of Shamgar
<08044>
the son
<01121>
of Anath
<06067>_,
in the days
<03117>
of Jael
<03278>_,
the highways
<0734>
were unoccupied
<02308> (8804)_,
and the travellers
<01980> (8802)
walked
<03212> (8799)
through byways
<06128> <05410>_.
{travellers: Heb. walkers of paths} {byways: Heb. crooked ways}
5:7
[The inhabitants of] the villages
<06520>
ceased
<02308> (8804)_,
they ceased
<02308> (8804)
in Israel
<03478>_,
until that I Deborah
<01683>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
that I arose
<06965> (8804)
a mother
<0517>
in Israel
<03478>_.
5:8
They chose
<0977> (8799)
new
<02319>
gods
<0430>_;
then [was] war
<03901>
in the gates
<08179>_:
was there a shield
<04043>
or spear
<07420>
seen
<07200> (8735)
among forty
<0705>
thousand
<0505>
in Israel
<03478>_?
5:9
My heart
<03820>
[is] toward the governors
<02710> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>_,
that offered themselves willingly
<05068> (8693)
among the people
<05971>_.
Bless
<01288> (8761)
ye the LORD
<03068>_.
5:10
Speak
<07878> (8798)_,
ye that ride
<07392> (8802)
on white
<06715>
asses
<0860>_,
ye that sit
<03427> (8802)
in judgment
<04055>_,
and walk
<01980> (8802)
by the way
<01870>_.
{Speak: or, Meditate}
5:11
[They that are delivered] from the noise
<06963>
of archers
<02686> (8764)
in the places of drawing water
<04857>_,
there shall they rehearse
<08567> (8762)
the righteous acts
<06666>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
[even] the righteous acts
<06666>
[toward the inhabitants] of his villages
<06520>
in Israel
<03478>_:
then shall the people
<05971>
of the LORD
<03068>
go down
<03381> (8804)
to the gates
<08179>_.
{righteous...: Heb. righteousnesses}
5:12
Awake
<05782> (8798)_,
awake
<05782> (8798)_,
Deborah
<01683>_:
awake
<05782> (8798)_,
awake
<05782> (8798)_,
utter
<01696> (8761)
a song
<07892>_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
Barak
<01301>_,
and lead thy captivity
<07628>
captive
<07617> (8798)_,
thou son
<01121>
of Abinoam
<042>_.
5:13
Then he made him that remaineth
<08300>
have dominion
<07287> (8762)
over the nobles
<0117>
among the people
<05971>_:
the LORD
<03068>
made me have dominion
<07287> (8762)
over the mighty
<01368>_.
5:14
Out of Ephraim
<0669>
[was there] a root
<08328>
of them against Amalek
<06002>_;
after
<0310>
thee, Benjamin
<01144>_,
among thy people
<05971>_;
out of Machir
<04353>
came down
<03381> (8804)
governors
<02710> (8781)_,
and out of Zebulun
<02074>
they that handle
<04900> (8802)
the pen
<07626>
of the writer
<05608> (8802)_.
{handle: Heb. draw with}
5:15
And the princes
<08269>
of Issachar
<03485>
[were] with Deborah
<01683>_;
even Issachar
<03485>_,
and also Barak
<01301>_:
he was sent
<07971> (8795)
on foot
<07272>
into the valley
<06010>_.
For the divisions
<06390>
of Reuben
<07205>
[there were] great
<01419>
thoughts
<02711>
of heart
<03820>_.
{foot: Heb. his feet} {thoughts: Heb. impressions} {For: or, In}
5:16
Why abodest
<03427> (8804)
thou among
<0996>
the sheepfolds
<04942>_,
to hear
<08085> (8800)
the bleatings
<08292>
of the flocks
<05739>_?
For the divisions
<06390>
of Reuben
<07205>
[there were] great
<01419>
searchings
<02714>
of heart
<03820>_.
{For: or, In}
5:17
Gilead
<01568>
abode
<07931> (8804)
beyond
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_:
and why did Dan
<01835>
remain
<01481> (8799)
in ships
<0591>_?
Asher
<0836>
continued
<03427> (8804)
on the sea
<03220>
shore
<02348>_,
and abode
<07931> (8799)
in his breaches
<04664>_.
{shore: or, port} {breaches: or, creeks}
5:18
Zebulun
<02074>
and Naphtali
<05321>
[were] a people
<05971>
[that] jeoparded
<02778> (8765)
their lives
<05315>
unto the death
<04191> (8800)
in the high places
<04791>
of the field
<07704>_.
{jeoparded: Heb. exposed to reproach}
5:19
The kings
<04428>
came
<0935> (8804)
[and] fought
<03898> (8738)_,
then fought
<03898> (8738)
the kings
<04428>
of Canaan
<03667>
in Taanach
<08590>
by the waters
<04325>
of Megiddo
<04023>_;
they took
<03947> (8804)
no gain
<01215>
of money
<03701>_.
5:20
They fought
<03898> (8738)
from heaven
<08064>_;
the stars
<03556>
in their courses
<04546>
fought
<03898> (8738)
against Sisera
<05516>_.
{courses: Heb. paths}
5:21
The river
<05158>
of Kishon
<07028>
swept them away
<01640> (8804)_,
that ancient
<06917>
river
<05158>_,
the river
<05158>
Kishon
<07028>_.
O my soul
<05315>_,
thou hast trodden down
<01869> (8799)
strength
<05797>_.
5:22
Then were the horsehoofs
<06119> <05483>
broken
<01986> (8804)
by the means of the pransings
<01726>_,
the pransings
<01726>
of their mighty ones
<047>_.
{pransings: or, tramplings, or, plungings}
5:23
Curse
<0779> (8798)
ye Meroz
<04789>_,
said
<0559> (8804)
the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
curse
<0779> (8798)
ye bitterly
<0779> (8800)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof; because they came
<0935> (8804)
not to the help
<05833>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to the help
<05833>
of the LORD
<03068>
against the mighty
<01368>_.
5:24
Blessed
<01288> (8792)
above women
<0802>
shall Jael
<03278>
the wife
<0802>
of Heber
<02268>
the Kenite
<07017>
be, blessed
<01288> (8792)
shall she be above women
<0802>
in the tent
<0168>_.
5:25
He asked
<07592> (8804)
water
<04325>_,
[and] she gave
<05414> (8804)
[him] milk
<02461>_;
she brought forth
<07126> (8689)
butter
<02529>
in a lordly
<0117>
dish
<05602>_.
5:26
She put
<07971> (8799)
her hand
<03027>
to the nail
<03489>_,
and her right hand
<03225>
to the workmen's
<06001>
hammer
<01989>_;
and with the hammer she smote
<01986> (8804)
Sisera
<05516>_,
she smote off
<04277> (8804)
his head
<07218>_,
when she had pierced
<04272> (8804)
and stricken through
<02498> (8804)
his temples
<07541>_.
{with...: Heb. she hammered}
5:27
At her feet
<07272>
he bowed
<03766> (8804)_,
he fell
<05307> (8804)_,
he lay down
<07901> (8804)_:
at her feet
<07272>
he bowed
<03766> (8804)_,
he fell
<05307> (8804)_:
where
<0834>
he bowed
<03766> (8804)_,
there he fell down
<05307> (8804)
dead
<07703> (8803)_.
{At: Heb. Between} {dead: Heb. destroyed}
5:28
The mother
<0517>
of Sisera
<05516>
looked
<08259> (8738)
out at a window
<02474>_,
and cried
<02980> (8762)
through the lattice
<0822>_,
Why is his chariot
<07393>
[so] long
<0954> (8765)
in coming
<0935> (8800)_?
why tarry
<0309> (8765)
the wheels
<06471>
of his chariots
<04818>_?
5:29
Her wise
<02450>
ladies
<08282>
answered
<06030> (8799)
her, yea, she returned
<07725> (8686)
answer
<0561>
to herself, {answer: Heb. her words}
5:30
Have they not sped
<04672> (8799)_?
have they [not] divided
<02505> (8762)
the prey
<07998>_;
to every
<07218>
man
<01397>
a damsel
<07356>
[or] two
<07361>_;
to Sisera
<05516>
a prey
<07998>
of divers colours
<06648>_,
a prey
<07998>
of divers colours
<06648>
of needlework
<07553>_,
of divers colours
<06648>
of needlework on both sides
<07553>_,
[meet] for the necks
<06677>
of [them that take] the spoil
<07998>_?
{every...: Heb. the head of a man}
5:31
So let all thine enemies
<0341> (8802)
perish
<06> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>_:
but [let] them that love
<0157> (8802)
him [be] as the sun
<08121>
when he goeth forth
<03318> (8800)
in his might
<01369>_.
And the land
<0776>
had rest
<08252> (8799)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
6:1
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Midian
<04080>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_.
6:2
And the hand
<03027>
of Midian
<04080>
prevailed
<05810> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_:
[and] because
<06440>
of the Midianites
<04080>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
made
<06213> (8804)
them the dens
<04492>
which [are] in the mountains
<02022>_,
and caves
<04631>_,
and strong holds
<04679>_.
{prevailed: Heb. was strong}
6:3
And [so] it was, when Israel
<03478>
had sown
<02232> (8804)_,
that the Midianites
<04080>
came up
<05927> (8804)_,
and the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and the children
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_,
even they came up
<05927> (8804)
against them;
6:4
And they encamped
<02583> (8799)
against them, and destroyed
<07843> (8686)
the increase
<02981>
of the earth
<0776>_,
till thou come
<0935> (8800)
unto Gaza
<05804>_,
and left
<07604> (8686)
no sustenance
<04241>
for Israel
<03478>_,
neither sheep
<07716>_,
nor ox
<07794>_,
nor ass
<02543>_.
{sheep: or goat}
6:5
For they came up
<05927> (8799)
with their cattle
<04735>
and their tents
<0168>_,
and they came
<0935> (8804) (8675) <0935> (8799)
as
<01767>
grasshoppers
<0697>
for multitude
<07230>_;
[for] both they and their camels
<01581>
were without number
<04557>_:
and they entered
<0935> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
to destroy
<07843> (8763)
it.
6:6
And Israel
<03478>
was greatly
<03966>
impoverished
<01809> (8735)
because
<06440>
of the Midianites
<04080>_;
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
6:7
And it came to pass, when the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8804)
unto the LORD
<03068>
because
<0182>
of the Midianites
<04080>_,
6:8
That the LORD
<03068>
sent
<07971> (8799)
a prophet
<0376> <05030>
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
which said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
I brought you up
<05927> (8689)
from Egypt
<04714>_,
and brought you forth
<03318> (8686)
out of the house
<01004>
of bondage
<05650>_;
{a prophet: Heb. a man a prophet}
6:9
And I delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of the Egyptians
<04714>_,
and out of the hand
<03027>
of all that oppressed
<03905> (8801)
you, and drave them out
<01644> (8762)
from before
<06440>
you, and gave
<05414> (8799)
you their land
<0776>_;
6:10
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto you, I [am] the LORD
<03068>
your God
<0430>_;
fear
<03372> (8799)
not the gods
<0430>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
in whose land
<0776>
ye dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
but ye have not obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_.
6:11
And there came
<0935> (8799)
an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
under an oak
<0424>
which [was] in Ophrah
<06084>_,
that [pertained] unto Joash
<03101>
the Abiezrite
<033>_:
and his son
<01121>
Gideon
<01439>
threshed
<02251> (8802)
wheat
<02406>
by the winepress
<01660>_,
to hide
<05127> (8687)
[it] from
<06440>
the Midianites
<04080>_.
{Gideon: Gr. Gedeon} {to hide...: Heb. to cause it to flee}
6:12
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The LORD
<03068>
[is] with thee, thou mighty
<01368>
man of valour
<02428>_.
6:13
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Oh
<0994>
my Lord
<0113>_,
if
<03426>
the LORD
<03068>
be with us, why then is all this befallen
<04672> (8804)
us? and where [be] all his miracles
<06381> (8737)
which our fathers
<01>
told
<05608> (8765)
us of, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Did not the LORD
<03068>
bring us up
<05927> (8689)
from Egypt
<04714>_?
but now the LORD
<03068>
hath forsaken
<05203> (8804)
us, and delivered
<05414> (8799)
us into the hands
<03709>
of the Midianites
<04080>_.
6:14
And the LORD
<03068>
looked
<06437> (8799)
upon him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
in this thy might
<03581>_,
and thou shalt save
<03467> (8689)
Israel
<03478>
from the hand
<03709>
of the Midianites
<04080>_:
have not I sent
<07971> (8804)
thee?
6:15
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Oh
<0994>
my Lord
<0136>_,
wherewith
<04100>
shall I save
<03467> (8686)
Israel
<03478>_?
behold, my family
<0504> (8676) <0505>
[is] poor
<01800>
in Manasseh
<04519>_,
and I [am] the least
<06810>
in my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
{my family...: Heb. my thousand is the meanest}
6:16
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite
<05221> (8689)
the Midianites
<04080>
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_.
6:17
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If now I have found
<04672> (8804)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
then shew
<06213> (8804)
me a sign
<0226>
that thou talkest
<01696> (8764)
with me.
6:18
Depart
<04185> (8799)
not hence, I pray thee, until I come
<0935> (8800)
unto thee, and bring forth
<03318> (8689)
my present
<04503>_,
and set
<03240> (8689)
[it] before
<06440>
thee. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will tarry
<03427> (8799)
until thou come again
<07725> (8800)_.
{present: or, meat offering}
6:19
And Gideon
<01439>
went in
<0935> (8804)_,
and made ready
<06213> (8799)
a kid
<05795> <01423>_,
and unleavened cakes
<04682>
of an ephah
<0374>
of flour
<07058>_:
the flesh
<01320>
he put
<07760> (8804)
in a basket
<05536>_,
and he put
<07760> (8804)
the broth
<04839>
in a pot
<06517>_,
and brought [it] out
<03318> (8686)
unto him under the oak
<0424>_,
and presented
<05066> (8686)
[it]. {a kid: Heb. a kid of the goats}
6:20
And the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)
the flesh
<01320>
and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_,
and lay
<03240> (8685)
[them] upon this
<01975>
rock
<05553>_,
and pour out
<08210> (8798)
the broth
<04839>_.
And he did
<06213> (8799)
so.
6:21
Then the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
put forth
<07971> (8799)
the end
<07097>
of the staff
<04938>
that [was] in his hand
<03027>_,
and touched
<05060> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>
and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_;
and there rose up
<05927> (8799)
fire
<0784>
out of the rock
<06697>_,
and consumed
<0398> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>
and the unleavened cakes
<04682>_.
Then the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
departed
<01980> (8804)
out of his sight
<05869>_.
6:22
And when Gideon
<01439>
perceived
<07200> (8799)
that he [was] an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas
<0162>_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_!
for because
<03651>
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
face
<06440>
to face
<06440>_.
6:23
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Peace
<07965>
[be] unto thee; fear
<03372> (8799)
not: thou shalt not die
<04191> (8799)_.
6:24
Then Gideon
<01439>
built
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
there unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
it Jehovahshalom
<03073>_:
unto this day
<03117>
it [is] yet in Ophrah
<06084>
of the Abiezrites
<033>_.
{Jehovahshalom: that is, The LORD send peace}
6:25
And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)
thy father's
<01>
young
<06499>
bullock
<07794>_,
even the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>
of seven
<07651>
years old
<08141>_,
and throw down
<02040> (8804)
the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>
that thy father
<01>
hath, and cut down
<03772> (8799)
the grove
<0842>
that [is] by it: {even: or, and}
6:26
And build
<01129> (8804)
an altar
<04196>
unto the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
upon the top
<07218>
of this rock
<04581>_,
in the ordered place
<04634>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>_,
and offer
<05927> (8689)
a burnt sacrifice
<05930>
with the wood
<06086>
of the grove
<0842>
which thou shalt cut down
<03772> (8799)_.
{rock: Heb. strong place} {in the ordered...: or, in an orderly manner}
6:27
Then Gideon
<01439>
took
<03947> (8799)
ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
of his servants
<05650>_,
and did
<06213> (8799)
as the LORD
<03068>
had said
<01696> (8765)
unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared
<03372> (8804)
his father's
<01>
household
<01004>_,
and the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
that he could not do
<06213> (8800)
[it] by day
<03119>_,
that he did
<06213> (8799)
[it] by night
<03915>_.
6:28
And when the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>
was cast down
<05422> (8795)_,
and the grove
<0842>
was cut down
<03772> (8795)
that [was] by it, and the second
<08145>
bullock
<06499>
was offered
<05927> (8717)
upon the altar
<04196>
[that was] built
<01129> (8803)_.
6:29
And they said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
Who hath done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_?
And when they enquired
<01875> (8799)
and asked
<01245> (8762)_,
they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
hath done
<06213> (8804)
this thing
<01697>_.
6:30
Then the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joash
<03101>_,
Bring out
<03318> (8685)
thy son
<01121>_,
that he may die
<04191> (8799)_:
because he hath cast down
<05422> (8804)
the altar
<04196>
of Baal
<01168>_,
and because he hath cut down
<03772> (8804)
the grove
<0842>
that [was] by it.
6:31
And Joash
<03101>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all that stood
<05975> (8804)
against him, Will ye plead
<07378> (8799)
for Baal
<01168>_?
will ye save
<03467> (8686)
him? he that will plead
<07378> (8799)
for him, let him be put to death
<04191> (8714)
whilst [it is yet] morning
<01242>_:
if he [be] a god
<0430>_,
let him plead
<07378> (8799)
for himself, because [one] hath cast down
<05422> (8804)
his altar
<04196>_.
6:32
Therefore on that day
<03117>
he called
<07121> (8799)
him Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let Baal
<01168>
plead
<07378> (8799)
against him, because he hath thrown down
<05422> (8804)
his altar
<04196>_.
{Jerubbaal: that is, Let Baal plead} {Jerubbesheth: that is, Let the shameful thing plead}
6:33
Then all the Midianites
<04080>
and the Amalekites
<06002>
and the children
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
were gathered
<0622> (8738)
together
<03162>_,
and went over
<05674> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in the valley
<06010>
of Jezreel
<03157>_.
6:34
But the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<03847> (8804)
upon Gideon
<01439>_,
and he blew
<08628> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>_;
and Abiezer
<044>
was gathered
<02199> (8735)
after
<0310>
him. {came...: Heb. clothed} {gathered: Heb. called}
6:35
And he sent
<07971> (8804)
messengers
<04397>
throughout all Manasseh
<04519>_;
who also was gathered
<02199> (8735)
after
<0310>
him: and he sent
<07971> (8804)
messengers
<04397>
unto Asher
<0836>_,
and unto Zebulun
<02074>_,
and unto Naphtali
<05321>_;
and they came up
<05927> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
them. {gathered: Heb. called}
6:36
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
If thou wilt
<03426>
save
<03467> (8688)
Israel
<03478>
by mine hand
<03027>_,
as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,
6:37
Behold, I will put
<03322> (8688)
a fleece
<01492>
of wool
<06785>
in the floor
<01637>_;
[and] if the dew
<02919>
be on the fleece
<01492>
only, and [it be] dry
<02721>
upon all the earth
<0776>
[beside], then shall I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou wilt save
<03467> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
by mine hand
<03027>_,
as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_.
6:38
And it was so: for he rose up early
<07925> (8686)
on the morrow
<04283>_,
and thrust
<02115> (0)
the fleece
<01492>
together
<02115> (8799)_,
and wringed
<04680> (8799)
the dew
<02919>
out of the fleece
<01492>_,
a bowl
<05602>
full
<04393>
of water
<04325>_.
6:39
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto God
<0430>_,
Let not thine anger
<0639>
be hot
<02734> (8799)
against me, and I will speak
<01696> (8762)
but this once
<06471>_:
let me prove
<05254> (8762)_,
I pray thee, but this once
<06471>
with the fleece
<01492>_;
let it now be dry
<02721>
only upon the fleece
<01492>_,
and upon all the ground
<0776>
let there be dew
<02919>_.
6:40
And God
<0430>
did
<06213> (8799)
so that night
<03915>_:
for it was dry
<02721>
upon the fleece
<01492>
only, and there was dew
<02919>
on all the ground
<0776>_.
7:1
Then Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
who [is] Gideon
<01439>_,
and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, rose up early
<07925> (8686)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
beside the well of Harod
<05878>_:
so that the host
<04264>
of the Midianites
<04080>
were on the north side
<06828>
of them, by the hill
<01389>
of Moreh
<04176>_,
in the valley
<06010>_.
7:2
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
The people
<05971>
that [are] with thee [are] too many
<07227>
for me to give
<05414> (8800)
the Midianites
<04080>
into their hands
<03027>_,
lest Israel
<03478>
vaunt
<06286> (8691)
themselves against me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Mine own hand
<03027>
hath saved
<03467> (8689)
me.
7:3
Now therefore go to
<04994>_,
proclaim
<07121> (8798)
in the ears
<0241>
of the people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whosoever [is] fearful
<03373>
and afraid
<02730>_,
let him return
<07725> (8799)
and depart early
<06852> (8799)
from mount
<02022>
Gilead
<01568>_.
And there returned
<07725> (8799)
of the people
<05971>
twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
thousand
<0505>_;
and there remained
<07604> (8738)
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>_.
7:4
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
The people
<05971>
[are] yet [too] many
<07227>_;
bring them down
<03381> (8685)
unto the water
<04325>_,
and I will try
<06884> (8799)
them for thee there: and it shall be, [that] of whom I say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, This shall go
<03212> (8799)
with thee, the same shall go
<03212> (8799)
with thee; and of whomsoever I say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, This shall not go
<03212> (8799)
with thee, the same shall not go
<03212> (8799)_.
7:5
So he brought down
<03381> (8686)
the people
<05971>
unto the water
<04325>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
Every one that lappeth
<03952> (8799)
of the water
<04325>
with his tongue
<03956>_,
as a dog
<03611>
lappeth
<03952> (8799)_,
him shalt thou set
<03322> (8686)
by himself; likewise every one that boweth down
<03766> (8799)
upon his knees
<01290>
to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
7:6
And the number
<04557>
of them that lapped
<03952> (8764)_,
[putting] their hand
<03027>
to their mouth
<06310>_,
were three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_:
but all the rest
<03499>
of the people
<05971>
bowed down
<03766> (8804)
upon their knees
<01290>
to drink
<08354> (8800)
water
<04325>_.
7:7
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
By the three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
that lapped
<03952> (8764)
will I save
<03467> (8686)
you, and deliver
<05414> (8804)
the Midianites
<04080>
into thine hand
<03027>_:
and let all the [other] people
<05971>
go
<03212> (8799)
every man
<0376>
unto his place
<04725>_.
7:8
So the people
<05971>
took
<03947> (8799)
victuals
<06720>
in their hand
<03027>_,
and their trumpets
<07782>_:
and he sent
<07971> (8765)
all
<0376>
[the rest of] Israel
<03478>
every man
<0376>
unto his tent
<0168>_,
and retained
<02388> (8689)
those three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_:
and the host
<04264>
of Midian
<04080>
was beneath him in the valley
<06010>_.
7:9
And it came to pass the same night
<03915>_,
that the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get thee down
<03381> (8798)
unto the host
<04264>_;
for I have delivered
<05414> (8804)
it into thine hand
<03027>_.
7:10
But if thou fear
<03373>
to go down
<03381> (8800)_,
go
<03381> (0)
thou with Phurah
<06513>
thy servant
<05288>
down
<03381> (8798)
to the host
<04264>_:
7:11
And thou shalt hear
<08085> (8804)
what they say
<01696> (8762)_;
and afterward
<0310>
shall thine hands
<03027>
be strengthened
<02388> (8799)
to go down
<03381> (8804)
unto the host
<04264>_.
Then went he down
<03381> (8799)
with Phurah
<06513>
his servant
<05288>
unto the outside
<07097>
of the armed men
<02571>
that [were] in the host
<04264>_.
{armed men: or, ranks by five}
7:12
And the Midianites
<04080>
and the Amalekites
<06002>
and all the children
<01121>
of the east
<06924>
lay
<05307> (8802)
along in the valley
<06010>
like grasshoppers
<0697>
for multitude
<07230>_;
and their camels
<01581>
[were] without number
<04557>_,
as the sand
<02344>
by the sea
<03220>
side
<08193>
for multitude
<07230>_.
7:13
And when Gideon
<01439>
was come
<0935> (8799)_,
behold, [there was] a man
<0376>
that told
<05608> (8764)
a dream
<02472>
unto his fellow
<07453>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and, lo, a cake
<06742> (8675) <06742>
of barley
<08184>
bread
<03899>
tumbled
<02015> (8693)
into the host
<04264>
of Midian
<04080>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto a tent
<0168>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
it that it fell
<05307> (8799)_,
and overturned
<02015> (8799) <04605>
it, that the tent
<0168>
lay along
<05307> (8804)_.
7:14
And his fellow
<07453>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] nothing else save the sword
<02719>
of Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>_,
a man
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_:
[for] into his hand
<03027>
hath God
<0430>
delivered
<05414> (8804)
Midian
<04080>_,
and all the host
<04264>_.
7:15
And it was [so], when Gideon
<01439>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the telling
<04557>
of the dream
<02472>_,
and the interpretation
<07667>
thereof, that he worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
into the host
<04264>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_;
for the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
into your hand
<03027>
the host
<04264>
of Midian
<04080>_.
{interpretation: Heb. breaking}
7:16
And he divided
<02673> (8799)
the three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
[into] three
<07969>
companies
<07218>_,
and he put
<05414> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>
in every man's hand
<03027>_,
with empty
<07386>
pitchers
<03537>_,
and lamps
<03940>
within
<08432>
the pitchers
<03537>_.
{a trumpet...: Heb. trumpets in the hand of all of them} {lamps: or, firebrands, or, torches}
7:17
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Look
<07200> (8799)
on me, and do
<06213> (8799)
likewise: and, behold, when I come
<0935> (8802)
to the outside
<07097>
of the camp
<04264>_,
it shall be [that], as I do
<06213> (8799)_,
so shall ye do
<06213> (8799)_.
7:18
When I blow
<08628> (8804)
with a trumpet
<07782>_,
I and all that [are] with me, then blow
<08628> (8804)
ye the trumpets
<07782>
also on every side
<05439>
of all the camp
<04264>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
[The sword] of the LORD
<03068>_,
and of Gideon
<01439>_.
7:19
So Gideon
<01439>_,
and the hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
that [were] with him, came
<0935> (8799)
unto the outside
<07097>
of the camp
<04264>
in the beginning
<07218>
of the middle
<08484>
watch
<0821>_;
and they had but
<0389>
newly
<06965> (8687)
set
<06965> (8689)
the watch
<08104> (8802)_:
and they blew
<08628> (8799)
the trumpets
<07782>_,
and brake
<05310> (8800)
the pitchers
<03537>
that [were] in their hands
<03027>_.
7:20
And the three
<07969>
companies
<07218>
blew
<08628> (8799)
the trumpets
<07782>_,
and brake
<07665> (8799)
the pitchers
<03537>_,
and held
<02388> (8686)
the lamps
<03940>
in their left
<08040>
hands
<03027>_,
and the trumpets
<07782>
in their right
<03225>
hands
<03027>
to blow
<08628> (8800)
[withal]: and they cried
<07121> (8799)_,
The sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and of Gideon
<01439>_.
7:21
And they stood
<05975> (8799)
every man
<0376>
in his place round about
<05439>
the camp
<04264>_:
and all the host
<04264>
ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and cried
<07321> (8686)_,
and fled
<05127> (8799) (8675) <05127> (8686)_.
7:22
And the three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
blew
<08628> (8799)
the trumpets
<07782>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
set
<07760> (8799)
every man's
<0376>
sword
<02719>
against his fellow
<07453>_,
even throughout all the host
<04264>_:
and the host
<04264>
fled
<05127> (8799)
to Bethshittah
<01029>
in Zererath
<06888>_,
[and] to the border
<08193>
of Abelmeholah
<065>_,
unto Tabbath
<02888>_.
{in: or, toward} {border: Heb. lip}
7:23
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)
out of Naphtali
<05321>_,
and out of Asher
<0836>_,
and out of all Manasseh
<04519>_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
the Midianites
<04080>_.
7:24
And Gideon
<01439>
sent
<07971> (8804)
messengers
<04397>
throughout all mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come down
<03381> (8798)
against
<07125> (8800)
the Midianites
<04080>_,
and take
<03920> (8798)
before them the waters
<04325>
unto Bethbarah
<01012>
and Jordan
<03383>_.
Then all the men
<0376>
of Ephraim
<0669>
gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
the waters
<04325>
unto Bethbarah
<01012>
and Jordan
<03383>_.
7:25
And they took
<03920> (8799)
two
<08147>
princes
<08269>
of the Midianites
<04080>_,
Oreb
<06159>
and Zeeb
<02062>_;
and they slew
<02026> (8799)
Oreb
<06159>
upon the rock
<06697>
Oreb
<06159>_,
and Zeeb
<02062>
they slew
<02026> (8804)
at the winepress
<03342>
of Zeeb
<02062>_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
Midian
<04080>_,
and brought
<0935> (8689)
the heads
<07218>
of Oreb
<06159>
and Zeeb
<02062>
to Gideon
<01439>
on the other side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_.
8:1
And the men
<0376>
of Ephraim
<0669>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why hast thou
<04100>
served
<06213> (8804)
us thus
<01697>_,
that thou calledst
<07121> (8800)
us not, when thou wentest
<01980> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with the Midianites
<04080>_?
And they did chide
<07378> (8799)
with him sharply
<02394>_.
{Why...: Heb. What thing is this thou hast done unto us} {sharply: Heb. strongly}
8:2
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, What have I done
<06213> (8804)
now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning
<05955>
of the grapes of Ephraim
<0669>
better
<02896>
than the vintage
<01210>
of Abiezer
<044>_?
8:3
God
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
into your hands
<03027>
the princes
<08269>
of Midian
<04080>_,
Oreb
<06159>
and Zeeb
<02062>_:
and what was I able
<03201> (8804)
to do
<06213> (8800)
in comparison of you? Then their anger
<07307>
was abated
<07503> (8804)
toward him, when he had said
<01697>
that
<01696> (8763)_.
{anger: Heb. spirit}
8:4
And Gideon
<01439>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Jordan
<03383>_,
[and] passed over
<05674> (8802)_,
he, and the three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
that [were] with him, faint
<05889>_,
yet pursuing
<07291> (8802)
[them].
8:5
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
Give
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray you, loaves
<03603>
of bread
<03899>
unto the people
<05971>
that follow
<07272>
me; for they [be] faint
<05889>_,
and I am pursuing
<07291> (8802)
after
<0310>
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
kings
<04428>
of Midian
<04080>_.
8:6
And the princes
<08269>
of Succoth
<05523>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Are] the hands
<03709>
of Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
now in thine hand
<03027>_,
that we should give
<05414> (8799)
bread
<03899>
unto thine army
<06635>_?
8:7
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore when the LORD
<03068>
hath delivered
<05414> (8800)
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
into mine hand
<03027>_,
then I will tear
<01758> (8804)
your flesh
<01320>
with the thorns
<06975>
of the wilderness
<04057>
and with briers
<01303>_.
{tear: Heb. thresh}
8:8
And he went up
<05927> (8799)
thence to Penuel
<06439>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)
unto them likewise
<02063>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Penuel
<06439>
answered
<06030> (8799)
him as the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>
had answered
<06030> (8804)
[him].
8:9
And he spake
<0559> (8799)
also unto the men
<0582>
of Penuel
<06439>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When I come again
<07725> (8800)
in peace
<07965>_,
I will break down
<05422> (8799)
this tower
<04026>_.
8:10
Now Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
[were] in Karkor
<07174>_,
and their hosts
<04264>
with them, about fifteen
<02568> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
[men], all that were left
<03498> (8737)
of all the hosts
<04264>
of the children
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_:
for there fell
<05307> (8802)
an hundred
<03967>
and twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
{men that...: or, every one drawing a sword}
8:11
And Gideon
<01439>
went up
<05927> (8799)
by the way
<01870>
of them that dwelt
<07931> (8803)
in tents
<0168>
on the east
<06924>
of Nobah
<05025>
and Jogbehah
<03011>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
the host
<04264>_:
for the host
<04264>
was secure
<0983>_.
8:12
And when Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
fled
<05127> (8799)_,
he pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
them, and took
<03920> (8799)
the two
<08147>
kings
<04428>
of Midian
<04080>_,
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
and discomfited
<02729> (8689)
all the host
<04264>_.
{discomfited: Heb. terrified}
8:13
And Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
returned
<07725> (8799)
from battle
<04421>
before
<04608>
the sun
<02775>
[was up],
8:14
And caught
<03920> (8799)
a young man
<05288>
of the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and enquired
<07592> (8799)
of him: and he described
<03789> (8799)
unto him the princes
<08269>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and the elders
<02205>
thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen
<07657> <07651>
men
<0376>_.
{described: Heb. writ}
8:15
And he came
<0935> (8799)
unto the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
with whom ye did upbraid
<02778> (8765)
me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
[Are] the hands
<03709>
of Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
now in thine hand
<03027>_,
that we should give
<05414> (8799)
bread
<03899>
unto thy men
<0582>
[that are] weary
<03287>_?
8:16
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the elders
<02205>
of the city
<05892>_,
and thorns
<06975>
of the wilderness
<04057>
and briers
<01303>_,
and with them he taught
<03045> (8686)
the men
<0582>
of Succoth
<05523>_.
{taught: Heb. made to know}
8:17
And he beat down
<05422> (8804)
the tower
<04026>
of Penuel
<06439>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_.
8:18
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
What
<0375>
manner of men
<0582>
[were they] whom ye slew
<02026> (8804)
at Tabor
<08396>_?
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
As thou
<03644>
[art], so [were] they; each one
<0259>
resembled
<08389>
the children
<01121>
of a king
<04428>_.
{resembled...: Heb. according to the form, etc}
8:19
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
They [were] my brethren
<0251>_,
[even] the sons
<01121>
of my mother
<0517>_:
[as] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
if
<03863>
ye had saved them alive
<02421> (8689)_,
I would not slay
<02026> (8804)
you.
8:20
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jether
<03500>
his firstborn
<01060>_,
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
[and] slay
<02026> (8798)
them. But the youth
<05288>
drew
<08025> (8804)
not his sword
<02719>_:
for he feared
<03372> (8804)_,
because he [was] yet a youth
<05288>_.
8:21
Then Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Rise
<06965> (8798)
thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)
upon us: for as the man
<0376>
[is, so is] his strength
<01369>_.
And Gideon
<01439>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
Zebah
<02078>
and Zalmunna
<06759>_,
and took away
<03947> (8799)
the ornaments
<07720>
that [were] on their camels
<01581>_'
necks
<06677>_.
{ornaments: or, ornaments like the moon}
8:22
Then the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
Rule
<04910> (8798)
thou over us, both thou, and thy son
<01121>_,
and thy son's
<01121>
son
<01121>
also: for thou hast delivered
<03467> (8689)
us from the hand
<03027>
of Midian
<04080>_.
8:23
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I will not rule
<04910> (8799)
over you, neither shall my son
<01121>
rule
<04910> (8799)
over you: the LORD
<03068>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over you.
8:24
And Gideon
<01439>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I would desire
<07592> (8799)
a request
<07596>
of you, that ye would give
<05414> (8798)
me every man
<0376>
the earrings
<05141>
of his prey
<07998>_.
(For they had golden
<02091>
earrings
<05141>_,
because they [were] Ishmaelites
<03459>.)
8:25
And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
We will willingly
<05414> (8800)
give
<05414> (8799)
[them]. And they spread
<06566> (8799)
a garment
<08071>_,
and did cast
<07993> (8686)
therein every man
<0376>
the earrings
<05141>
of his prey
<07998>_.
8:26
And the weight
<04948>
of the golden
<02091>
earrings
<05141>
that he requested
<07592> (8804)
was a thousand
<0505>
and seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of gold
<02091>_;
beside ornaments
<07720>_,
and collars
<05188>_,
and purple
<0713>
raiment
<0899>
that [was] on the kings
<04428>
of Midian
<04080>_,
and beside the chains
<06060>
that [were] about their camels
<01581>_'
necks
<06677>_.
{collars: or, sweet jewels}
8:27
And Gideon
<01439>
made
<06213> (8799)
an ephod
<0646>
thereof, and put
<03322> (8686)
it in his city
<05892>_,
[even] in Ophrah
<06084>_:
and all Israel
<03478>
went thither a whoring
<02181> (8799)
after
<0310>
it: which thing became a snare
<04170>
unto Gideon
<01439>_,
and to his house
<01004>_.
8:28
Thus was Midian
<04080>
subdued
<03665> (8735)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
so that they lifted up
<05375> (8800)
their heads
<07218>
no more
<03254> (8804)_.
And the country
<0776>
was in quietness
<08252> (8799)
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
in the days
<03117>
of Gideon
<01439>_.
8:29
And Jerubbaal
<03378>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
went
<03212> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in his own house
<01004>_.
8:30
And Gideon
<01439>
had threescore and ten
<07657>
sons
<01121>
of his body
<03409>
begotten
<03318> (8802)_:
for he had many
<07227>
wives
<0802>_.
{of his...: Heb. going out of his thigh}
8:31
And his concubine
<06370>
that [was] in Shechem
<07927>_,
she also bare
<03205> (8804)
him a son
<01121>_,
whose name
<08034>
he called
<07760> (8799)
Abimelech
<040>_.
{called: Heb. set}
8:32
And Gideon
<01439>
the son
<01121>
of Joash
<03101>
died
<04191> (8799)
in a good
<02896>
old age
<07872>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in the sepulchre
<06913>
of Joash
<03101>
his father
<01>_,
in Ophrah
<06084>
of the Abiezrites
<033>_.
8:33
And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon
<01439>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
turned again
<07725> (8799)_,
and went a whoring
<02181> (8799)
after
<0310>
Baalim
<01168>_,
and made
<07760> (8799)
Baalberith
<01170>
their god
<0430>_.
8:34
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
remembered
<02142> (8804)
not the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_,
who had delivered
<05337> (8688)
them out of the hands
<03027>
of all their enemies
<0341> (8802)
on every side
<05439>_:
8:35
Neither shewed
<06213> (8804)
they kindness
<02617>
to the house
<01004>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
[namely], Gideon
<01439>_,
according to all the goodness
<02896>
which he had shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto Israel
<03478>_.
9:1
And Abimelech
<040>
the son
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>
went
<03212> (8799)
to Shechem
<07927>
unto his mother's
<0517>
brethren
<0251>_,
and communed
<01696> (8762)
with them, and with all the family
<04940>
of the house
<01004>
of his mother's
<0517>
father
<01>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
9:2
Speak
<01696> (8761)_,
I pray you, in the ears
<0241>
of all the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
Whether [is] better
<02896>
for you, either that all the sons
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
[which are] threescore and ten
<07657>
persons
<0376>_,
reign
<04910> (8800)
over you, or that one
<0259>
reign
<04910> (8800)
over you? remember
<02142> (8804)
also that I [am] your bone
<06106>
and your flesh
<01320>_.
{Whether...: Heb. What is good? whether, etc}
9:3
And his mother's
<0517>
brethren
<0251>
spake
<01696> (8762)
of him in the ears
<0241>
of all the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>
all these words
<01697>_:
and their hearts
<03820>
inclined
<05186> (8799)
to follow
<0310>
Abimelech
<040>_;
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
He [is] our brother
<0251>_.
{to follow: Heb. after}
9:4
And they gave
<05414> (8799)
him threescore and ten
<07657>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>
out of the house
<01004>
of Baalberith
<01170>_,
wherewith Abimelech
<040>
hired
<07936> (8799)
vain
<07386>
and light
<06348> (8802)
persons
<0582>_,
which followed
<03212> (8799)
him
<0310>_.
9:5
And he went
<0935> (8799)
unto his father's
<01>
house
<01004>
at Ophrah
<06084>_,
and slew
<02026> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>
the sons
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_,
[being] threescore and ten
<07657>
persons
<0376>_,
upon one
<0259>
stone
<068>_:
notwithstanding yet Jotham
<03147>
the youngest
<06996>
son
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>
was left
<03498> (8735)_;
for he hid
<02244> (8738)
himself.
9:6
And all the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>
gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,
and all the house
<01004>
of Millo
<04407> (8677) <01037>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)_,
and made
<04427> (8686)
Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>_,
by the plain
<0436>
of the pillar
<05324> (8716)
that [was] in Shechem
<07927>_.
{plain: or, oak}
9:7
And when they told
<05046> (8686)
[it] to Jotham
<03147>_,
he went
<03212> (8799)
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the top
<07218>
of mount
<02022>
Gerizim
<01630>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and cried
<07121> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hearken
<08085> (8798)
unto me, ye men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
that God
<0430>
may hearken
<08085> (8799)
unto you.
9:8
The trees
<06086>
went forth
<01980> (8804) (8676) <01980> (8800)
[on a time] to anoint
<04886> (8800)
a king
<04428>
over them; and they said
<0559> (8799)
unto the olive tree
<02132>_,
Reign
<04427> (8798)
thou over us.
9:9
But the olive tree
<02132>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Should I leave
<02308> (8804)
my fatness
<01880>_,
wherewith by me they honour
<03513> (8762)
God
<0430>
and man
<0582>_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
to be promoted
<05128> (8800)
over the trees
<06086>_?
{go...: or, go up and down for other trees}
9:10
And the trees
<06086>
said
<0559> (8799)
to the fig tree
<08384>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)
over us.
9:11
But the fig tree
<08384>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Should I forsake
<02308> (8804)
my sweetness
<04987>_,
and my good
<02896>
fruit
<08570>_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
to be promoted
<05128> (8800)
over the trees
<06086>_?
9:12
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the trees
<06086>
unto the vine
<01612>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)
over us.
9:13
And the vine
<01612>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Should I leave
<02308> (8804)
my wine
<08492>_,
which cheereth
<08055> (8764)
God
<0430>
and man
<0582>_,
and go
<01980> (8804)
to be promoted
<05128> (8800)
over the trees
<06086>_?
9:14
Then said
<0559> (8799)
all the trees
<06086>
unto the bramble
<0329>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)
thou, [and] reign
<04427> (8798)
over us. {bramble: or, thistle}
9:15
And the bramble
<0329>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the trees
<06086>_,
If in truth
<0571>
ye anoint
<04886> (8802)
me king
<04428>
over you, [then] come
<0935> (8798)
[and] put your trust
<02620> (8798)
in my shadow
<06738>_:
and if not, let fire
<0784>
come out
<03318> (8799)
of the bramble
<0329>_,
and devour
<0398> (8799)
the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_.
9:16
Now therefore, if ye have done
<06213> (8804)
truly
<0571>
and sincerely
<08549>_,
in that ye have made Abimelech
<040>
king
<04427> (8686)_,
and if ye have dealt
<06213> (8804)
well
<02896>
with Jerubbaal
<03378>
and his house
<01004>_,
and have done
<06213> (8804)
unto him according to the deserving
<01576>
of his hands
<03027>_;
9:17
(For my father
<01>
fought
<03898> (8738)
for you, and adventured
<07993> (8686)
his life
<05315>
far
<05048>_,
and delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of the hand
<03027>
of Midian
<04080>_:
{adventured...: Heb. cast his life}
9:18
And ye are risen up
<06965> (8804)
against my father's
<01>
house
<01004>
this day
<03117>_,
and have slain
<02026> (8799)
his sons
<01121>_,
threescore and ten
<07657>
persons
<0376>_,
upon one
<0259>
stone
<068>_,
and have made Abimelech
<040>_,
the son
<01121>
of his maidservant
<0519>_,
king
<04427> (8686)
over the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
because he [is] your brother
<0251>;)
9:19
If ye then have dealt
<06213> (8804)
truly
<0571>
and sincerely
<08549>
with Jerubbaal
<03378>
and with his house
<01004>
this day
<03117>_,
[then] rejoice
<08055> (8798)
ye in Abimelech
<040>_,
and let him also rejoice
<08055> (8799)
in you:
9:20
But if not, let fire
<0784>
come out
<03318> (8799)
from Abimelech
<040>_,
and devour
<0398> (8799)
the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
and the house
<01004>
of Millo
<04407> (8677) <01037>_;
and let fire
<0784>
come out
<03318> (8799)
from the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
and from the house
<01004>
of Millo
<04407> (8676) <01037>_,
and devour
<0398> (8799)
Abimelech
<040>_.
9:21
And Jotham
<03147>
ran away
<01272> (8799)_,
and fled
<05127> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Beer
<0876>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there, for fear
<06440>
of Abimelech
<040>
his brother
<0251>_.
9:22
When Abimelech
<040>
had reigned
<07786> (8799)
three
<07969>
years
<08141>
over Israel
<03478>_,
9:23
Then God
<0430>
sent
<07971> (8799)
an evil
<07451>
spirit
<07307>
between Abimelech
<040>
and the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_;
and the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>
dealt treacherously
<0898> (8799)
with Abimelech
<040>_:
9:24
That the cruelty
<02555>
[done] to the threescore and ten
<07657>
sons
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>
might come
<0935> (8800)_,
and their blood
<01818>
be laid
<07760> (8800)
upon Abimelech
<040>
their brother
<0251>_,
which slew
<02026> (8804)
them; and upon the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
which aided
<02388> (8765) <03027>
him in the killing
<02026> (8800)
of his brethren
<0251>_.
{aided...: Heb. strengthened his hands to kill}
9:25
And the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>
set
<07760> (8799)
liers in wait
<0693> (8764)
for him in the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and they robbed
<01497> (8799)
all that came
<05674> (8799)
along that way
<01870>
by them: and it was told
<05046> (8714)
Abimelech
<040>_.
9:26
And Gaal
<01603>
the son
<01121>
of Ebed
<05651>
came
<0935> (8799)
with his brethren
<0251>_,
and went over
<05674> (8799)
to Shechem
<07927>_:
and the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>
put their confidence
<0982> (8799)
in him.
9:27
And they went out
<03318> (8799)
into the fields
<07704>_,
and gathered
<01219> (8799)
their vineyards
<03754>_,
and trode
<01869> (8799)
[the grapes], and made
<06213> (8799)
merry
<01974>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>
of their god
<0430>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and cursed
<07043> (8762)
Abimelech
<040>_.
{merry: or, songs}
9:28
And Gaal
<01603>
the son
<01121>
of Ebed
<05651>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,
and who [is] Shechem
<07927>_,
that we should serve
<05647> (8799)
him? [is] not [he] the son
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_?
and Zebul
<02083>
his officer
<06496>_?
serve
<05647> (8798)
the men
<0582>
of Hamor
<02544>
the father
<01>
of Shechem
<07927>_:
for why should we serve
<05647> (8799)
him?
9:29
And would to God this people
<05971>
were under
<05414> (8799)
my hand
<03027>_!
then would I remove
<05493> (8686)
Abimelech
<040>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to Abimelech
<040>_,
Increase
<07235> (8761)
thine army
<06635>_,
and come out
<03318> (8798)_.
9:30
And when Zebul
<02083>
the ruler
<08269>
of the city
<05892>
heard
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
of Gaal
<01603>
the son
<01121>
of Ebed
<05651>_,
his anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.
{kindled: or, hot}
9:31
And he sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto Abimelech
<040>
privily
<08649>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, Gaal
<01603>
the son
<01121>
of Ebed
<05651>
and his brethren
<0251>
be come
<0935> (8802)
to Shechem
<07927>_;
and, behold, they fortify
<06696> (8802)
the city
<05892>
against thee. {privily: Heb. craftily or, to Tormah}
9:32
Now therefore up
<06965> (8798)
by night
<03915>_,
thou and the people
<05971>
that [is] with thee, and lie in wait
<0693> (8798)
in the field
<07704>_:
9:33
And it shall be, [that] in the morning
<01242>_,
as soon as the sun
<08121>
is up
<02224> (8800)_,
thou shalt rise early
<07925> (8686)_,
and set
<06584> (8804)
upon the city
<05892>_:
and, behold, [when] he and the people
<05971>
that [is] with him come out
<03318> (8802)
against thee, then mayest thou do
<06213> (8804)
to them as thou
<03027>
shalt find occasion
<04672> (8799)_.
{as thou shalt...: Heb. as thine hand shall find}
9:34
And Abimelech
<040>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, by night
<03915>_,
and they laid wait
<0693> (8799)
against Shechem
<07927>
in four
<0702>
companies
<07218>_.
9:35
And Gaal
<01603>
the son
<01121>
of Ebed
<05651>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_:
and Abimelech
<040>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, from lying in wait
<03993>_.
9:36
And when Gaal
<01603>
saw
<07200> (8799)
the people
<05971>_,
he said
<0559> (8799)
to Zebul
<02083>_,
Behold, there come
<03381> (0)
people
<05971>
down
<03381> (8802)
from the top
<07218>
of the mountains
<02022>_.
And Zebul
<02083>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou seest
<07200> (8802)
the shadow
<06738>
of the mountains
<02022>
as [if they were] men
<0582>_.
9:37
And Gaal
<01603>
spake
<01696> (8763)
again
<03254> (8686)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
See there come
<03381> (0)
people
<05971>
down
<03381> (8802)
by the middle
<02872>
of the land
<0776>_,
and another
<0259>
company
<07218>
come
<0935> (8804)
along by the plain
<0436>
of
<01870>
Meonenim
<06049> (8781)_.
{middle: Heb. navel} {Meonenim: or, the regarders of times}
9:38
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Zebul
<02083>
unto him, Where [is] now
<0645>
thy mouth
<06310>_,
wherewith thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] Abimelech
<040>_,
that we should serve
<05647> (8799)
him? [is] not this the people
<05971>
that thou hast despised
<03988> (8804)_?
go out
<03318> (8798)_,
I pray now
<04994>_,
and fight
<03898> (8734)
with them.
9:39
And Gaal
<01603>
went out
<03318> (8799)
before
<06440>
the men
<01167>
of Shechem
<07927>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
with Abimelech
<040>_.
9:40
And Abimelech
<040>
chased
<07291> (8799)
him, and he fled
<05127> (8799)
before
<06440>
him, and many
<07227>
were overthrown
<05307> (8799)
[and] wounded
<02491>_,
[even] unto the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>_.
9:41
And Abimelech
<040>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
at Arumah
<0725>_:
and Zebul
<02083>
thrust out
<01644> (8762)
Gaal
<01603>
and his brethren
<0251>_,
that they should not dwell
<03427> (8800)
in Shechem
<07927>_.
9:42
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that the people
<05971>
went out
<03318> (8799)
into the field
<07704>_;
and they told
<05046> (8686)
Abimelech
<040>_.
9:43
And he took
<03947> (8799)
the people
<05971>_,
and divided
<02673> (8799)
them into three
<07969>
companies
<07218>_,
and laid wait
<0693> (8799)
in the field
<07704>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the people
<05971>
[were] come forth
<03318> (8802)
out of the city
<05892>_;
and he rose up
<06965> (8799)
against them, and smote
<05221> (8686)
them.
9:44
And Abimelech
<040>_,
and the company
<07218>
that [was] with him, rushed forward
<06584> (8804)_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_:
and the two
<08147>
[other] companies
<07218>
ran upon
<06584> (8804)
all [the people] that [were] in the fields
<07704>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
them.
9:45
And Abimelech
<040>
fought
<03898> (8738)
against the city
<05892>
all that day
<03117>_;
and he took
<03920> (8799)
the city
<05892>_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
the people
<05971>
that [was] therein, and beat down
<05422> (8799)
the city
<05892>_,
and sowed
<02232> (8799)
it with salt
<04417>_.
9:46
And when all the men
<01167>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
heard
<08085> (8799)
[that], they entered
<0935> (8799)
into an hold
<06877>
of the house
<01004>
of the god
<0410>
Berith
<01286>_.
9:47
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Abimelech
<040>_,
that all the men
<01167>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
were gathered together
<06908> (8694)_.
9:48
And Abimelech
<040>
gat him up
<05927> (8799)
to mount
<02022>
Zalmon
<06756>_,
he and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him; and Abimelech
<040>
took
<03947> (8799)
an axe
<07134>
in his hand
<03027>_,
and cut down
<03772> (8799)
a bough
<07754>
from the trees
<06086>_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
it, and laid
<07760> (8799)
[it] on his shoulder
<07926>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>
that [were] with him, What ye have seen
<07200> (8804)
me do
<06213> (8804)_,
make haste
<04116> (8761)_,
[and] do
<06213> (8798)
as I
<03644>
[have done]. {me do: Heb. I have done}
9:49
And all the people
<05971>
likewise cut down
<03772> (8799)
every man
<0376>
his bough
<07754>_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
Abimelech
<040>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
[them] to the hold
<06877>_,
and set
<03341> (8686)
the hold
<06877>
on fire
<0784>
upon them; so that all the men
<0582>
of the tower
<04026>
of Shechem
<07927>
died
<04191> (8799)
also, about a thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
and women
<0802>_.
9:50
Then went
<03212> (8799)
Abimelech
<040>
to Thebez
<08405>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against Thebez
<08405>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
it.
9:51
But there was a strong
<05797>
tower
<04026>
within
<08432>
the city
<05892>_,
and thither fled
<05127> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
and women
<0802>_,
and all they
<01167>
of the city
<05892>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
[it] to them, and gat them up
<05927> (8799)
to the top
<01406>
of the tower
<04026>_.
9:52
And Abimelech
<040>
came
<0935> (8799)
unto the tower
<04026>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against it, and went hard
<05066> (8799)
unto the door
<06607>
of the tower
<04026>
to burn
<08313> (8800)
it with fire
<0784>_.
9:53
And a certain
<0259>
woman
<0802>
cast
<07993> (8686)
a piece
<06400>
of a millstone
<07393>
upon Abimelech's
<040>
head
<07218>_,
and all to brake
<07533> (8686)
his skull
<01538>_.
9:54
Then he called
<07121> (8799)
hastily
<04120>
unto the young man
<05288>
his armourbearer
<05375> (8802) <03627>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Draw
<08025> (8798)
thy sword
<02719>_,
and slay
<04191> (8786)
me, that men say
<0559> (8799)
not of me, A woman
<0802>
slew
<02026> (8804)
him. And his young man
<05288>
thrust him through
<01856> (8799)_,
and he died
<04191> (8799)_.
9:55
And when the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Abimelech
<040>
was dead
<04191> (8804)_,
they departed
<03212> (8799)
every man
<0376>
unto his place
<04725>_.
9:56
Thus God
<0430>
rendered
<07725> (8686)
the wickedness
<07451>
of Abimelech
<040>_,
which he did
<06213> (8804)
unto his father
<01>_,
in slaying
<02026> (8800)
his seventy
<07657>
brethren
<0251>_:
9:57
And all the evil
<07451>
of the men
<0582>
of Shechem
<07927>
did God
<0430>
render
<07725> (8689)
upon their heads
<07218>_:
and upon them came
<0935> (8799)
the curse
<07045>
of Jotham
<03147>
the son
<01121>
of Jerubbaal
<03378>_.
10:1
And after
<0310>
Abimelech
<040>
there arose
<06965> (8799)
to defend
<03467> (8687)
Israel
<03478>
Tola
<08439>
the son
<01121>
of Puah
<06312>_,
the son
<01121>
of Dodo
<01734>_,
a man
<0376>
of Issachar
<03485>_;
and he dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in Shamir
<08069>
in mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_.
{defend: or, deliver: Heb. save}
10:2
And he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
twenty
<06242>
and three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
and died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in Shamir
<08069>_.
10:3
And after
<0310>
him arose
<06965> (8799)
Jair
<02971>_,
a Gileadite
<01569>_,
and judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
years
<08141>_.
10:4
And he had thirty
<07970>
sons
<01121>
that rode
<07392> (8802)
on thirty
<07970>
ass colts
<05895>_,
and they had thirty
<07970>
cities
<05892>_,
which are called
<07121> (8799)
Havothjair
<02334>
unto this day
<03117>_,
which [are] in the land
<0776>
of Gilead
<01568>_.
{Havothjair: or, the villages of Jair}
10:5
And Jair
<02971>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in Camon
<07056>_.
10:6
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
again
<03254> (8686)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>_,
and Ashtaroth
<06252>_,
and the gods
<0430>
of Syria
<0758>_,
and the gods
<0430>
of Zidon
<06721>_,
and the gods
<0430>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the gods
<0430>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and the gods
<0430>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and forsook
<05800> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and served
<05647> (8804)
not him.
10:7
And the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was hot
<02734> (8799)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and he sold
<04376> (8799)
them into the hands
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and into the hands
<03027>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
10:8
And that year
<08141>
they vexed
<07492> (8799)
and oppressed
<07533> (8779)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
eighteen
<08083> <06240>
years
<08141>_,
all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
that [were] on the other side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>
in the land
<0776>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
which [is] in Gilead
<01568>_.
{oppressed: Heb. crushed}
10:9
Moreover the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
passed over
<05674> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>
to fight
<03898> (8736)
also against Judah
<03063>_,
and against Benjamin
<01144>_,
and against the house
<01004>
of Ephraim
<0669>_;
so that Israel
<03478>
was sore
<03966>
distressed
<03334> (8799)_.
10:10
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
cried
<02199> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee, both because we have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
our God
<0430>_,
and also served
<05647> (8799)
Baalim
<01168>_.
10:11
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians
<04714>_,
and from the Amorites
<0567>_,
from the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and from the Philistines
<06430>_?
10:12
The Zidonians
<06722>
also, and the Amalekites
<06002>_,
and the Maonites
<04584>_,
did oppress
<03905> (8804)
you; and ye cried
<06817> (8799)
to me, and I delivered
<03467> (8686)
you out of their hand
<03027>_.
10:13
Yet ye have forsaken
<05800> (8804)
me, and served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_:
wherefore I will deliver
<03467> (8687)
you no more
<03254> (8686)_.
10:14
Go
<03212> (8798)
and cry
<02199> (8798)
unto the gods
<0430>
which ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)_;
let them
<01992>
deliver
<03467> (8686)
you in the time
<06256>
of your tribulation
<06869>_.
10:15
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_:
do
<06213> (8798)
thou unto us whatsoever seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto thee; deliver
<05337> (8685)
us only, we pray thee, this day
<03117>_.
{seemeth...: Heb. is good in thine eyes}
10:16
And they put away
<05493> (8686)
the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
from among
<07130>
them, and served
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_:
and his soul
<05315>
was grieved
<07114> (8799)
for the misery
<05999>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{strange...: Heb. gods of strangers} {grieved: Heb. shortened}
10:17
Then the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
were gathered together
<06817> (8735)_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
in Gilead
<01568>_.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
assembled themselves together
<0622> (8735)_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
in Mizpeh
<04709>_.
{gathered: Heb. cried}
10:18
And the people
<05971>
[and] princes
<08269>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
one
<0376>
to another
<07453>_,
What man
<0376>
[is he] that will begin
<02490> (8686)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_?
he shall be head
<07218>
over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gilead
<01568>_.
11:1
Now Jephthah
<03316>
the Gileadite
<01569>
was a mighty man
<01368>
of valour
<02428>_,
and he [was] the son
<01121>
of an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_:
and Gilead
<01568>
begat
<03205> (8686)
Jephthah
<03316>_.
{Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
11:2
And Gilead's
<01568>
wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8799)
him sons
<01121>_;
and his wife's
<0802>
sons
<01121>
grew up
<01431> (8799)_,
and they thrust out
<01644> (8762)
Jephthah
<03316>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou shalt not inherit
<05157> (8799)
in our father's
<01>
house
<01004>_;
for thou [art] the son
<01121>
of a strange
<0312>
woman
<0802>_.
11:3
Then Jephthah
<03316>
fled
<01272> (8799)
from
<06440>
his brethren
<0251>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the land
<0776>
of Tob
<02897>_:
and there were gathered
<03950> (8691)
vain
<07386>
men
<0582>
to Jephthah
<03316>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
with him. {from: Heb. from the face [of]}
11:4
And it came to pass in process of time
<03117>_,
that the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
made war
<03898> (8735)
against Israel
<03478>_.
{in process...: Heb. after days}
11:5
And it was so, that when the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
made war
<03898> (8738)
against Israel
<03478>_,
the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
went
<03212> (8799)
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
Jephthah
<03316>
out of the land
<0776>
of Tob
<02897>_:
11:6
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and be our captain
<07101>_,
that we may fight
<03898> (8735)
with the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
11:7
And Jephthah
<03316>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
Did not ye hate
<08130> (8804)
me, and expel
<01644> (8762)
me out of my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_?
and why are ye come
<0935> (8804)
unto me now when ye are in distress
<06887> (8804)_?
11:8
And the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
Therefore we turn again
<07725> (8804)
to thee now, that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)
with us, and fight
<03898> (8738)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and be our head
<07218>
over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gilead
<01568>_.
11:9
And Jephthah
<03316>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
If ye bring me home again
<07725> (8688)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
deliver
<05414> (8804)
them before
<06440>
me, shall I be your head
<07218>_?
11:10
And the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
The LORD
<03068>
be witness
<08085> (8802)
between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)
not so according to thy words
<01697>_.
{witness...: Heb. the hearer between us}
11:11
Then Jephthah
<03316>
went
<03212> (8799)
with the elders
<02205>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
and the people
<05971>
made
<07760> (8799)
him head
<07218>
and captain
<07101>
over them: and Jephthah
<03316>
uttered
<01696> (8762)
all his words
<01697>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
in Mizpeh
<04709>_.
11:12
And Jephthah
<03316>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
<0935> (8804)
against me to fight
<03898> (8736)
in my land
<0776>_?
11:13
And the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
answered
<0559> (8799)
unto the messengers
<04397>
of Jephthah
<03316>_,
Because Israel
<03478>
took away
<03947> (8804)
my land
<0776>_,
when they came up
<05927> (8800)
out of Egypt
<04714>_,
from Arnon
<0769>
even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,
and unto Jordan
<03383>_:
now therefore restore those [lands] again
<07725> (8685)
peaceably
<07965>_.
11:14
And Jephthah
<03316>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
again
<03254> (8686)
unto the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_:
11:15
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
Jephthah
<03316>_,
Israel
<03478>
took not away
<03947> (8804)
the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
nor the land
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_:
11:16
But when Israel
<03478>
came up
<05927> (8800)
from Egypt
<04714>_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
through the wilderness
<04057>
unto the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Kadesh
<06946>_;
11:17
Then Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Let me, I pray thee, pass through
<05674> (8799)
thy land
<0776>_:
but the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>
would not hearken
<08085> (8804)
[thereto]. And in like manner they sent
<07971> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_:
but he would
<014> (8804)
not [consent]: and Israel
<03478>
abode
<03427> (8799)
in Kadesh
<06946>_.
11:18
Then they went along
<03212> (8799)
through the wilderness
<04057>_,
and compassed
<05437> (8799)
the land
<0776>
of Edom
<0123>_,
and the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
by the east side
<04217> <08121>
of the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
on the other side
<05676>
of Arnon
<0769>_,
but came
<0935> (8804)
not within the border
<01366>
of Moab
<04124>_:
for Arnon
<0769>
[was] the border
<01366>
of Moab
<04124>_.
11:19
And Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto Sihon
<05511>
king
<04428>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
the king
<04428>
of Heshbon
<02809>_;
and Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let us pass
<05674> (8799)_,
we pray thee, through thy land
<0776>
into
<05704>
my place
<04725>_.
11:20
But Sihon
<05511>
trusted
<0539> (8689)
not Israel
<03478>
to pass
<05674> (8800)
through his coast
<01366>_:
but Sihon
<05511>
gathered
<0622> (0)
all his people
<05971>
together
<0622> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in Jahaz
<03096>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
against Israel
<03478>_.
11:21
And the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
Sihon
<05511>
and all his people
<05971>
into the hand
<03027>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
them: so Israel
<03478>
possessed
<03423> (8799)
all the land
<0776>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of that country
<0776>_.
11:22
And they possessed
<03423> (8799)
all the coasts
<01366>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
from Arnon
<0769>
even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,
and from the wilderness
<04057>
even unto Jordan
<03383>_.
11:23
So now the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
hath dispossessed
<03423> (8689)
the Amorites
<0567>
from before
<06440>
his people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and shouldest thou possess
<03423> (8799)
it?
11:24
Wilt not thou possess
<03423> (8799)
that which Chemosh
<03645>
thy god
<0430>
giveth thee to possess
<03423> (8686)_?
So whomsoever the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
shall drive out
<03423> (8689)
from before
<06440>
us, them will we possess
<03423> (8799)_.
11:25
And now [art] thou any thing better
<02896>
than Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_?
did he ever
<07378> (8800)
strive
<07378> (8804)
against Israel
<03478>_,
or did he ever
<03898> (8736)
fight
<03898> (8738)
against them,
11:26
While Israel
<03478>
dwelt
<03427> (8800)
in Heshbon
<02809>
and her towns
<01323>_,
and in Aroer
<06177>
and her towns
<01323>_,
and in all the cities
<05892>
that [be] along by the coasts
<03027>
of Arnon
<0769>_,
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
years
<08141>_?
why therefore did ye not recover
<05337> (8689)
[them] within that time
<06256>_?
11:27
Wherefore I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee, but thou doest
<06213> (8802) <0853>
me wrong
<07451>
to war
<03898> (8736)
against me: the LORD
<03068>
the Judge
<08199> (8802)
be judge
<08199> (8799)
this day
<03117>
between the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
11:28
Howbeit the king
<04428>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
hearkened
<08085> (8804)
not unto the words
<01697>
of Jephthah
<03316>
which he sent
<07971> (8804)
him.
11:29
Then the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came upon Jephthah
<03316>_,
and he passed over
<05674> (8799)
Gilead
<01568>_,
and Manasseh
<04519>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
Mizpeh
<04708>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
and from Mizpeh
<04708>
of Gilead
<01568>
he passed over
<05674> (8804)
[unto] the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
11:30
And Jephthah
<03316>
vowed
<05087> (8799)
a vow
<05088>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
If thou shalt without fail
<05414> (8800)
deliver
<05414> (8799)
the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
into mine hands
<03027>_,
11:31
Then it shall be, that whatsoever
<03318> (8802)
cometh forth
<03318> (8799)
of the doors
<01817>
of my house
<01004>
to meet
<07125> (8800)
me, when I return
<07725> (8800)
in peace
<07965>
from the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
shall surely be the LORD'S
<03068>_,
and I will offer it up
<05927> (8689)
for a burnt offering
<05930>_.
{whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and...: or, or I will offer it, etc}
11:32
So Jephthah
<03316>
passed over
<05674> (8799)
unto the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against them; and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into his hands
<03027>_.
11:33
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
them from Aroer
<06177>_,
even till thou come
<0935> (8800)
to Minnith
<04511>_,
[even] twenty
<06242>
cities
<05892>_,
and unto the plain
<058>
of the vineyards
<03754> (8677) <064>_,
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_.
Thus the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>
were subdued
<03665> (8735)
before
<06440>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{the plain: or, Abel}
11:34
And Jephthah
<03316>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Mizpeh
<04709>
unto his house
<01004>_,
and, behold, his daughter
<01323>
came out
<03318> (8802)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him with timbrels
<08596>
and with dances
<04246>_:
and she [was his] only child
<03173>_;
beside her he had neither son
<01121>
nor
<0176>
daughter
<01323>_.
{beside...: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself}
11:35
And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)
her, that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas
<0162>_,
my daughter
<01323>_!
thou hast brought
<03766> (0)
me very
<03766> (8689)
low
<03766> (8687)_,
and thou art one of them that trouble
<05916> (8802)
me: for I have opened
<06475> (8804)
my mouth
<06310>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and I cannot
<03201> (8799)
go back
<07725> (8800)_.
11:36
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, My father
<01>_,
[if] thou hast opened
<06475> (8804)
thy mouth
<06310>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
do
<06213> (8798)
to me according to that which
<0834>
hath proceeded
<03318> (8804)
out of thy mouth
<06310>_;
forasmuch
<0310>
as the LORD
<03068>
hath taken
<06213> (8804)
vengeance
<05360>
for thee of thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
[even] of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
11:37
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her father
<01>_,
Let this thing
<01697>
be done
<06213> (8735)
for me: let me alone
<07503> (8685)
two
<08147>
months
<02320>_,
that I may go up
<03212> (8799)
and down
<03381> (8804)
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
and bewail
<01058> (8799)
my virginity
<01331>_,
I and my fellows
<07464> (8675) <07474>_.
{go up...: Heb. go and go down}
11:38
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)_.
And he sent her away
<07971> (8799)
[for] two
<08147>
months
<02320>_:
and she went
<03212> (8799)
with her companions
<07464>_,
and bewailed
<01058> (8799)
her virginity
<01331>
upon the mountains
<02022>_.
11:39
And it came to pass at the end
<07093>
of two
<08147>
months
<02320>_,
that she returned
<07725> (8799)
unto her father
<01>_,
who did
<06213> (8799)
with her [according] to his vow
<05088>
which he had vowed
<05087> (8804)_:
and she knew
<03045> (8804)
no man
<0376>_.
And it was a custom
<02706>
in Israel
<03478>_,
{custom: or, ordinance}
11:40
[That] the daughters
<01323>
of Israel
<03478>
went
<03212> (8799)
yearly
<03117> <03117>
to lament
<08567> (8763)
the daughter
<01323>
of Jephthah
<03316>
the Gileadite
<01569>
four
<0702>
days
<03117>
in a year
<08141>_.
{yearly: Heb. from year to year} {to lament: or, to talk with}
12:1
And the men
<0376>
of Ephraim
<0669>
gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)_,
and went
<05674> (8799)
northward
<06828>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jephthah
<03316>_,
Wherefore passedst thou over
<05674> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and didst not call
<07121> (8804)
us to go
<03212> (8800)
with thee? we will burn
<08313> (8799)
thine house
<01004>
upon thee with fire
<0784>_.
{gathered...: Heb. were called}
12:2
And Jephthah
<03316>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I and my people
<05971>
were
<01961> (8804)
at great
<03966>
strife
<0376> <07379>
with the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_;
and when I called
<02199> (8799)
you, ye delivered
<03467> (8689)
me not out of their hands
<03027>_.
12:3
And when I saw
<07200> (8799)
that ye delivered
<03467> (8688)
[me] not, I put
<07760> (8799)
my life
<05315>
in my hands
<03709>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
against the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into my hand
<03027>_:
wherefore then are ye come up
<05927> (8804)
unto me this day
<03117>_,
to fight
<03898> (8736)
against me?
12:4
Then Jephthah
<03316>
gathered together
<06908> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
and fought
<03898> (8735)
with Ephraim
<0669>_:
and the men
<0582>
of Gilead
<01568>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Ephraim
<0669>_,
because they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Ye Gileadites
<01568>
[are] fugitives
<06412>
of Ephraim
<0669>
among
<08432>
the Ephraimites
<0669>_,
[and] among
<08432>
the Manassites
<04519>_.
12:5
And the Gileadites
<01568>
took
<03920> (8799)
the passages
<04569>
of Jordan
<03383>
before the Ephraimites
<0669>_:
and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites
<0669>
which were escaped
<06412>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me go over
<05674> (8799)_;
that the men
<0582>
of Gilead
<01568>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite
<0673>_?
If he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay;
12:6
Then said
<0559> (8799)
they unto him, Say
<0559> (8798)
now Shibboleth
<07641>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
Sibboleth
<05451>_:
for he could not frame
<03559> (0)
to pronounce
<01696> (8763)
[it] right
<03559> (8686)_.
Then they took
<0270> (8799)
him, and slew
<07819> (8799)
him at the passages
<04569>
of Jordan
<03383>_:
and there fell
<05307> (8799)
at that time
<06256>
of the Ephraimites
<0669>
forty
<0705>
and two
<08147>
thousand
<0505>_.
12:7
And Jephthah
<03316>
judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
six
<08337>
years
<08141>_.
Then died
<04191> (8799)
Jephthah
<03316>
the Gileadite
<01569>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in [one of] the cities
<05892>
of Gilead
<01568>_.
12:8
And after
<0310>
him Ibzan
<078>
of Bethlehem
<01035>
judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_.
12:9
And he had thirty
<07970>
sons
<01121>_,
and thirty
<07970>
daughters
<01323>_,
[whom] he sent
<07971> (8765)
abroad
<02351>_,
and took
<0935> (8689)
in thirty
<07970>
daughters
<01323>
from abroad
<02351>
for his sons
<01121>_.
And he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_.
12:10
Then died
<04191> (8799)
Ibzan
<078>_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
at Bethlehem
<01035>_.
12:11
And after
<0310>
him Elon
<0356>_,
a Zebulonite
<02075>_,
judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_;
and he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
ten
<06235>
years
<08141>_.
12:12
And Elon
<0356>
the Zebulonite
<02075>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in Aijalon
<0357>
in the country
<0776>
of Zebulun
<02074>_.
12:13
And after
<0310>
him Abdon
<05658>
the son
<01121>
of Hillel
<01985>_,
a Pirathonite
<06553>_,
judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>_.
12:14
And he had forty
<0705>
sons
<01121>
and thirty
<07970>
nephews
<01121> <01121>_,
that rode
<07392> (8802)
on threescore and ten
<07657>
ass colts
<05895>_:
and he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
eight
<08083>
years
<08141>_.
{nephews: Heb. sons' sons}
12:15
And Abdon
<05658>
the son
<01121>
of Hillel
<01985>
the Pirathonite
<06553>
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and was buried
<06912> (8735)
in Pirathon
<06552>
in the land
<0776>
of Ephraim
<0669>_,
in the mount
<02022>
of the Amalekites
<06003>_.
13:1
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
did
<06213> (8800)
evil
<07451>
again
<03254> (8686)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_.
{did evil...: Heb. added to commit, etc}
13:2
And there was a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
of Zorah
<06881>_,
of the family
<04940>
of the Danites
<01839>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Manoah
<04495>_;
and his wife
<0802>
[was] barren
<06135>_,
and bare
<03205> (8804)
not.
13:3
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto the woman
<0802>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren
<06135>_,
and bearest
<03205> (8804)
not: but thou shalt conceive
<02029> (8804)_,
and bear
<03205> (8804)
a son
<01121>_.
13:4
Now therefore beware
<08104> (8734)_,
I pray thee, and drink
<08354> (8799)
not wine
<03196>
nor strong drink
<07941>_,
and eat
<0398> (8799)
not any unclean
<02931>
[thing]:
13:5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_;
and no razor
<04177>
shall come
<05927> (8799)
on his head
<07218>_:
for the child
<05288>
shall be a Nazarite
<05139>
unto God
<0430>
from the womb
<0990>_:
and he shall begin
<02490> (8686)
to deliver
<03467> (8687)
Israel
<03478>
out of the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
13:6
Then the woman
<0802>
came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<0559> (8799)
her husband
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
A man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8804)
unto me, and his countenance
<04758>
[was] like the countenance
<04758>
of an angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>_,
very
<03966>
terrible
<03372> (8737)_:
but I asked
<07592> (8804)
him not whence he [was], neither told
<05046> (8689)
he me his name
<08034>_:
13:7
But he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive
<02030>_,
and bear
<03205> (8802)
a son
<01121>_;
and now drink
<07941>
no wine
<03196>
nor strong drink
<08354> (8799)_,
neither eat
<0398> (8799)
any unclean
<02932>
[thing]: for the child
<05288>
shall be a Nazarite
<05139>
to God
<0430>
from the womb
<0990>
to the day
<03117>
of his death
<04194>_.
13:8
Then Manoah
<04495>
intreated
<06279> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O
<0994>
my Lord
<0136>_,
let
<04994>
the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
which thou didst send
<07971> (8804)
come again
<0935> (8799)
unto us, and teach
<03384> (8686)
us what we shall do
<06213> (8799)
unto the child
<05288>
that shall be born
<03205> (8795)_.
13:9
And God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to the voice
<06963>
of Manoah
<04495>_;
and the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
came again
<0935> (8799)
unto the woman
<0802>
as she sat
<03427> (8802)
in the field
<07704>_:
but Manoah
<04495>
her husband
<0376>
[was] not with her.
13:10
And the woman
<0802>
made haste
<04116> (8762)_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and shewed
<05046> (8686)
her husband
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, the man
<0376>
hath appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto me, that came
<0935> (8804)
unto me the [other] day
<03117>_.
13:11
And Manoah
<04495>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
his wife
<0802>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the man
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Art] thou the man
<0376>
that spakest
<01696> (8765)
unto the woman
<0802>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
13:12
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now let thy words
<01697>
come to pass
<0935> (8799)_.
How shall we order
<04941>
the child
<05288>_,
and [how] shall we do
<04639>
unto him? {How shall we order...: Heb. What shall be the manner of the, etc} {how shall we do...: or, what shall he do?: Heb. what shall be his work?}
13:13
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Manoah
<04495>_,
Of all that I said
<0559> (8804)
unto the woman
<0802>
let her beware
<08104> (8735)_.
13:14
She may not eat
<0398> (8799)
of any [thing] that cometh
<03318> (8799)
of the vine
<01612>_,
neither let her drink
<08354> (8799)
wine
<03196>
or strong drink
<07941>_,
nor eat
<0398> (8799)
any unclean
<02932>
[thing]: all that I commanded
<06680> (8765)
her let her observe
<08104> (8799)_.
13:15
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
I pray thee, let us detain
<06113> (8799)
thee, until we shall have made ready
<06213> (8799)
a kid
<01423> <05795>
for
<06440>
thee. {for thee: Heb. before thee}
13:16
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Manoah
<04495>_,
Though thou detain
<06113> (8799)
me, I will not eat
<0398> (8799)
of thy bread
<03899>_:
and if
<0518>
thou wilt offer
<06213> (8799)
a burnt offering
<05930>_,
thou must offer
<05927> (8686)
it unto the LORD
<03068>_.
For Manoah
<04495>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that he [was] an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
13:17
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
What [is] thy name
<08034>_,
that when thy sayings
<01697>
come to pass
<0935> (8799)
we may do thee honour
<03513> (8765)_?
13:18
And the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why askest
<07592> (8799)
thou thus after my name
<08034>_,
seeing it [is] secret
<06383> (8675) <06383>_?
{secret: or, wonderful}
13:19
So Manoah
<04495>
took
<03947> (8799)
a kid
<01423> <05795>
with a meat offering
<04503>_,
and offered
<05927> (8799)
[it] upon a rock
<06697>
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
and [the angel] did
<06213> (8800)
wondrously
<06381> (8688)_;
and Manoah
<04495>
and his wife
<0802>
looked on
<07200> (8802)_.
13:20
For it came to pass, when the flame
<03851>
went up
<05927> (8800)
toward heaven
<08064>
from off the altar
<04196>_,
that the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
ascended
<05927> (8799)
in the flame
<03851>
of the altar
<04196>_.
And Manoah
<04495>
and his wife
<0802>
looked on
<07200> (8802)
[it], and fell on
<05307> (8799)
their faces
<06440>
to the ground
<0776>_.
13:21
But the angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>
did no more
<03254> (8804)
appear
<07200> (8736)
to Manoah
<04495>
and to his wife
<0802>_.
Then Manoah
<04495>
knew
<03045> (8804)
that he [was] an angel
<04397>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
13:22
And Manoah
<04495>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his wife
<0802>_,
We shall surely
<04191> (8800)
die
<04191> (8799)_,
because we have seen
<07200> (8804)
God
<0430>_.
13:23
But his wife
<0802>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, If
<03863>
the LORD
<03068>
were pleased
<02654> (8804)
to kill
<04191> (8687)
us, he would not have received
<03947> (8804)
a burnt offering
<05930>
and a meat offering
<04503>
at our hands
<03027>_,
neither would he have shewed
<07200> (8689)
us all these [things], nor would as at this time
<06256>
have told
<08085> (8689)
us [such things] as these
<02063>_.
13:24
And the woman
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Samson
<08123>_:
and the child
<05288>
grew
<01431> (8799)_,
and the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
13:25
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
began
<02490> (8686)
to move him at times
<06470> (8800)
in the camp
<04264>
of Dan
<01835>
between Zorah
<06881>
and Eshtaol
<0847>_.
{the camp...: Heb. Mahanehdan}
14:1
And Samson
<08123>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to Timnath
<08553>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
a woman
<0802>
in Timnath
<08553>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
14:2
And he came up
<05927> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
a woman
<0802>
in Timnath
<08553>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Philistines
<06430>_:
now therefore get
<03947> (8798)
her for me to wife
<0802>_.
14:3
Then his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Is there] never
<0369>
a woman
<0802>
among the daughters
<01323>
of thy brethren
<0251>_,
or among all my people
<05971>_,
that thou goest
<01980> (8802)
to take
<03947> (8800)
a wife
<0802>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>
Philistines
<06430>_?
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Get
<03947> (8798)
her for me; for she pleaseth me well
<03474> (8804) <05869>_.
{pleaseth...: Heb. is right in mine eyes}
14:4
But his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that it [was] of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he sought
<01245> (8764)
an occasion
<08385>
against the Philistines
<06430>_:
for at that time
<06256>
the Philistines
<06430>
had dominion
<04910> (8802)
over Israel
<03478>_.
14:5
Then went
<03381> (0)
Samson
<08123>
down
<03381> (8799)_,
and his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>_,
to Timnath
<08553>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to the vineyards
<03754>
of Timnath
<08553>_:
and, behold, a young
<03715>
lion
<0738>
roared
<07580> (8802)
against
<07125> (8800)
him. {against...: Heb. in meeting him}
14:6
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came mightily
<06743> (8799)
upon him, and he rent
<08156> (8762)
him as he would have rent
<08156> (8763)
a kid
<01423>_,
and [he had] nothing
<03972>
in his hand
<03027>_:
but he told
<05046> (8689)
not his father
<01>
or his mother
<0517>
what he had done
<06213> (8804)_.
14:7
And he went down
<03381> (8799)_,
and talked
<01696> (8762)
with the woman
<0802>_;
and she pleased
<03474> (0)
Samson
<08123>
well
<03474> (8799) <05869>_.
14:8
And after a time
<03117>
he returned
<07725> (8799)
to take
<03947> (8800)
her, and he turned aside
<05493> (8799)
to see
<07200> (8800)
the carcase
<04658>
of the lion
<0738>_:
and, behold, [there was] a swarm
<05712>
of bees
<01682>
and honey
<01706>
in the carcase
<01472>
of the lion
<0738>_.
14:9
And he took
<07287> (8799)
thereof in his hands
<03709>_,
and went on
<03212> (8799)
eating
<0398> (8800)_,
and came
<01980> (8800)
to his father
<01>
and mother
<0517>_,
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
them, and they did eat
<0398> (8799)_:
but he told
<05046> (8689)
not them that he had taken
<07287> (8804)
the honey
<01706>
out of the carcase
<01472>
of the lion
<0738>_.
14:10
So his father
<01>
went down
<03381> (8799)
unto the woman
<0802>_:
and Samson
<08123>
made
<06213> (8799)
there a feast
<04960>_;
for so used the young men
<0970>
to do
<06213> (8799)_.
14:11
And it came to pass, when they saw
<07200> (8800)
him, that they brought
<03947> (8799)
thirty
<07970>
companions
<04828>
to be with him.
14:12
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I will now put forth
<02330> (8799)
a riddle
<02420>
unto you: if ye can certainly
<05046> (8687)
declare
<05046> (8686)
it me within the seven
<07651>
days
<03117>
of the feast
<04960>_,
and find [it] out
<04672> (8804)_,
then I will give
<05414> (8804)
you thirty
<07970>
sheets
<05466>
and thirty
<07970>
change
<02487>
of garments
<0899>_:
{sheets: or, shirts}
14:13
But if ye cannot
<03201> (8799)
declare
<05046> (8687)
[it] me, then shall ye give
<05414> (8804)
me thirty
<07970>
sheets
<05466>
and thirty
<07970>
change
<02487>
of garments
<0899>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Put forth
<02330> (8798)
thy riddle
<02420>_,
that we may hear
<08085> (8799)
it. {sheets: or, shirts}
14:14
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Out of the eater
<0398> (8802)
came forth
<03318> (8804)
meat
<03978>_,
and out of the strong
<05794>
came forth
<03318> (8804)
sweetness
<04966>_.
And they could
<03201> (8804)
not in three
<07969>
days
<03117>
expound
<05046> (8687)
the riddle
<02420>_.
14:15
And it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>_,
that they said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samson's
<08123>
wife
<0802>_,
Entice
<06601> (8761)
thy husband
<0376>_,
that he may declare
<05046> (8686)
unto us the riddle
<02420>_,
lest we burn
<08313> (8799)
thee and thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>
with fire
<0784>_:
have ye called
<07121> (8804)
us to take that we have
<03423> (8800)_?
[is it] not [so]? {take...: Heb. possess us, or, impoverish us?}
14:16
And Samson's
<08123>
wife
<0802>
wept
<01058> (8799)
before him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou dost but hate
<08130> (8804)
me, and lovest
<0157> (8804)
me not: thou hast put forth
<02330> (8804)
a riddle
<02420>
unto the children
<01121>
of my people
<05971>_,
and hast not told
<05046> (8689)
[it] me. And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Behold, I have not told
<05046> (8689)
[it] my father
<01>
nor my mother
<0517>_,
and shall I tell
<05046> (8686)
[it] thee?
14:17
And she wept
<01058> (8799)
before him the seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_,
while their feast
<04960>
lasted
<01961> (8804)_:
and it came to pass on the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>_,
that he told
<05046> (8686)
her, because she lay sore
<06693> (8689)
upon him: and she told
<05046> (8686)
the riddle
<02420>
to the children
<01121>
of her people
<05971>_.
{the seven...: or, the rest of the seven days}
14:18
And the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him on the seventh
<07637>
day
<03117>
before the sun
<02775>
went down
<0935> (8799)_,
What [is] sweeter
<04966>
than honey
<01706>_?
and what [is] stronger
<05794>
than a lion
<0738>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, If
<03884>
ye had not plowed
<02790> (8804)
with my heifer
<05697>_,
ye had not found out
<04672> (8804)
my riddle
<02420>_.
14:19
And the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came
<06743> (8799)
upon him, and he went down
<03381> (8799)
to Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
thirty
<07970>
men
<0376>
of them, and took
<03947> (8799)
their spoil
<02488>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
change
<02487>
of garments unto them which expounded
<05046> (8688)
the riddle
<02420>_.
And his anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)_,
and he went up
<05927> (8799)
to his father's
<01>
house
<01004>_.
{spoil: or, apparel}
14:20
But Samson's
<08123>
wife
<0802>
was [given] to his companion
<04828>_,
whom he had used as his friend
<07462> (8765)_.
15:1
But it came to pass within a while after
<03117>_,
in the time
<03117>
of wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>_,
that Samson
<08123>
visited
<06485> (8799)
his wife
<0802>
with a kid
<01423> <05795>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go in
<0935> (8799)
to my wife
<0802>
into the chamber
<02315>_.
But her father
<01>
would not suffer
<05414> (8804)
him to go in
<0935> (8800)_.
15:2
And her father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I verily
<0559> (8800)
thought
<0559> (8804)
that thou hadst utterly
<08130> (8800)
hated
<08130> (8804)
her; therefore I gave
<05414> (8799)
her to thy companion
<04828>_:
[is] not her younger
<06996>
sister
<0269>
fairer
<02896>
than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. {take...: Heb. let her be thine}
15:3
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
concerning them, Now
<06471>
shall I be more blameless
<05352> (8738)
than the Philistines
<06430>_,
though I do
<06213> (8802)
them a displeasure
<07451>_.
{more...: or, blameless from the Philistines though, etc}
15:4
And Samson
<08123>
went
<03212> (8799)
and caught
<03920> (8799)
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
foxes
<07776>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
firebrands
<03940>_,
and turned
<06437> (8686)
tail
<02180>
to tail
<02180>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a
<0259>
firebrand
<03940>
in the midst
<08432>
between two
<08147>
tails
<02180>_.
{firebrands: or, torches}
15:5
And when he had set
<01197> (8686)
the brands
<03940>
on fire
<0784>_,
he let [them] go
<07971> (8762)
into the standing corn
<07054>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
and burnt up
<01197> (8686)
both the shocks
<01430>_,
and also the standing corn
<07054>_,
with the vineyards
<03754>
[and] olives
<02132>_.
15:6
Then the Philistines
<06430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who hath done
<06213> (8804)
this? And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Samson
<08123>_,
the son in law
<02860>
of the Timnite
<08554>_,
because he had taken
<03947> (8804)
his wife
<0802>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
her to his companion
<04828>_.
And the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8799)_,
and burnt
<08313> (8799)
her and her father
<01>
with fire
<0784>_.
15:7
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Though
<0518>
ye have done
<06213> (8799)
this
<02063>_,
yet will I be avenged
<05358> (8738)
of you, and after
<0310>
that I will cease
<02308> (8799)_.
15:8
And he smote
<05221> (8686)
them hip
<07785>
and
<05921>
thigh
<03409>
with a great
<01419>
slaughter
<04347>_:
and he went down
<03381> (8799)
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the top
<05585>
of the rock
<05553>
Etam
<05862>_.
15:9
Then the Philistines
<06430>
went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in Judah
<03063>_,
and spread
<05203> (8735)
themselves in Lehi
<03896>_.
15:10
And the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Why are ye come up
<05927> (8804)
against us? And they answered
<0559> (8799)_,
To bind
<0631> (8800)
Samson
<08123>
are we come up
<05927> (8804)_,
to do
<06213> (8800)
to him as he hath done
<06213> (8804)
to us.
15:11
Then three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>
went
<03381> (8799)
to the top
<05585>
of the rock
<05553>
Etam
<05862>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Samson
<08123>_,
Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou not that the Philistines
<06430>
[are] rulers
<04910> (8802)
over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, As they did
<06213> (8804)
unto me, so have I done
<06213> (8804)
unto them. {went: Heb. went down}
15:12
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We are come down
<03381> (8804)
to bind
<0631> (8800)
thee, that we may deliver
<05414> (8800)
thee into the hand
<03027>
of the Philistines
<06430>_.
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Swear
<07650> (8734)
unto me, that ye will not fall upon
<06293> (8799)
me yourselves.
15:13
And they spake
<0559> (8799)
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
No; but we will bind
<0631> (8799)
thee fast
<0631> (8800)_,
and deliver
<05414> (8804)
thee into their hand
<03027>_:
but surely
<04191> (8687)
we will not kill
<04191> (8686)
thee. And they bound
<0631> (8799)
him with two
<08147>
new
<02319>
cords
<05688>_,
and brought him up
<05927> (8686)
from the rock
<05553>_.
15:14
[And] when he came
<0935> (8804)
unto Lehi
<03896>_,
the Philistines
<06430>
shouted
<07321> (8689)
against
<07125> (8800)
him: and the Spirit
<07307>
of the LORD
<03068>
came mightily
<06743> (8799)
upon him, and the cords
<05688>
that [were] upon his arms
<02220>
became as flax
<06593>
that was burnt
<01197> (8804)
with fire
<0784>_,
and his bands
<0612>
loosed
<04549> (8735)
from off his hands
<03027>_.
{loosed: Heb. were melted}
15:15
And he found
<04672> (8799)
a new
<02961>
jawbone
<03895>
of an ass
<02543>_,
and put forth
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
it, and slew
<05221> (8686)
a thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
therewith. {new: Heb. moist}
15:16
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
With the jawbone
<03895>
of an ass
<02543>_,
heaps
<02565>
upon heaps
<02565>_,
with the jaw
<03895>
of an ass
<02543>
have I slain
<05221> (8689)
a thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
{heaps upon...: Heb. an heap, two heaps}
15:17
And it came to pass, when he had made an end
<03615> (8763)
of speaking
<01696> (8763)_,
that he cast away
<07993> (8686)
the jawbone
<03895>
out of his hand
<03027>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
that place
<04725>
Ramathlehi
<07437>_.
{Ramathlehi: that is, the lifting up of the jawbone, or, casting away of the jawbone}
15:18
And he was sore
<03966>
athirst
<06770> (8799)_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
on the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou hast given
<05414> (8804)
this great
<01419>
deliverance
<08668>
into the hand
<03027>
of thy servant
<05650>_:
and now shall I die
<04191> (8799)
for thirst
<06772>_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)
into the hand
<03027>
of the uncircumcised
<06189>_?
15:19
But God
<0430>
clave
<01234> (8799)
an hollow place
<04388>
that [was] in the jaw
<03895>_,
and there came
<03318> (8799)
water
<04325>
thereout; and when he had drunk
<08354> (8799)_,
his spirit
<07307>
came again
<07725> (8799)_,
and he revived
<02421> (8799)_:
wherefore he called
<07121> (8802)
the name
<08034>
thereof Enhakkore
<05875>_,
which [is] in Lehi
<03896>
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Enhakkore: that is, the well of him that called or, cried} {the jaw: or, Lehi, as called in this chapter}
15:20
And he judged
<08199> (8799)
Israel
<03478>
in the days
<03117>
of the Philistines
<06430>
twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_.
16:1
Then went
<03212> (8799)
Samson
<08123>
to Gaza
<05804>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
there an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_,
and went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her. {harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}
16:2
[And it was told] the Gazites
<05841>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Samson
<08123>
is come
<0935> (8804)
hither. And they compassed [him] in
<05437> (8799)_,
and laid wait
<0693> (8799)
for him all night
<03915>
in the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_,
and were quiet
<02790> (8691)
all the night
<03915>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
In the morning
<01242>_,
when it is day
<0216>_,
we shall kill
<02026> (8804)
him. {quiet: Heb. silence}
16:3
And Samson
<08123>
lay
<07901> (8799)
till midnight
<02677> <03915>_,
and arose
<06965> (8799)
at midnight
<02677> <03915>_,
and took
<0270> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the gate
<08179>
of the city
<05892>_,
and the two
<08147>
posts
<04201>_,
and went away
<05265> (8799)
with them, bar
<01280>
and all, and put
<07760> (8799)
[them] upon his shoulders
<03802>_,
and carried them up
<05927> (8686)
to the top
<07218>
of an hill
<02022>
that [is] before
<06440>
Hebron
<02275>_.
{bar...: Heb. with the bar}
16:4
And it came to pass afterward
<0310>_,
that he loved
<0157> (8799)
a woman
<0802>
in the valley
<05158>
of Sorek
<07796>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Delilah
<01807>_.
{in...: or, by the brook}
16:5
And the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8799)
unto her, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Entice
<06601> (8761)
him, and see
<07200> (8798)
wherein his great
<01419>
strength
<03581>
[lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail
<03201> (8799)
against him, that we may bind
<0631> (8804)
him to afflict
<06031> (8763)
him: and we will give
<05414> (8799)
thee every one
<0376>
of us eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.
{afflict: or, humble}
16:6
And Delilah
<01807>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Samson
<08123>_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, wherein thy great
<01419>
strength
<03581>
[lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)
to afflict
<06031> (8763)
thee.
16:7
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, If they bind
<0631> (8799)
me with seven
<07651>
green
<03892>
withs
<03499>
that were never dried
<02717> (8795)_,
then shall I be weak
<02470> (8804)_,
and be as another
<0259>
man
<0120>_.
{green...: or, new cords: Heb. moist} {another: Heb. one}
16:8
Then the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
brought up
<05927> (8686)
to her seven
<07651>
green
<03892>
withs
<03499>
which had not been dried
<02717> (8795)_,
and she bound
<0631> (8799)
him with them. {green...: or, new cords: Heb. moist}
16:9
Now [there were] men lying in wait
<0693> (8802)_,
abiding
<03427> (8802)
with her in the chamber
<02315>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The Philistines
<06430>
[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.
And he brake
<05423> (8762)
the withs
<03499>_,
as a thread
<06616>
of tow
<05296>
is broken
<05423> (8735)
when it toucheth
<07306> (8687)
the fire
<0784>_.
So his strength
<03581>
was not known
<03045> (8738)_.
{toucheth: Heb. smelleth}
16:10
And Delilah
<01807>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samson
<08123>_,
Behold, thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)
me, and told
<01696> (8762)
me lies
<03577>_:
now tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)_.
16:11
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, If they bind
<0631> (8799)
me fast
<0631> (8800)
with new
<02319>
ropes
<05688>
that never were occupied
<04399> <06213> (8738)_,
then shall I be weak
<02470> (8804)_,
and be as another
<0259>
man
<0120>_.
{that never...: Heb. wherewith work hath not been done}
16:12
Delilah
<01807>
therefore took
<03947> (8799)
new
<02319>
ropes
<05688>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him therewith, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The Philistines
<06430>
[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.
And [there were] liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
abiding
<03427> (8802)
in the chamber
<02315>_.
And he brake
<05423> (8762)
them from off his arms
<02220>
like a thread
<02339>_.
16:13
And Delilah
<01807>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Samson
<08123>_,
Hitherto
<02008>
thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)
me, and told
<01696> (8762)
me lies
<03577>_:
tell
<05046> (8685)
me wherewith thou mightest be bound
<0631> (8735)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, If thou weavest
<0707> (8799)
the seven
<07651>
locks
<04253>
of my head
<07218>
with the web
<04545>_.
16:14
And she fastened
<08628> (8799)
[it] with the pin
<03489>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, The Philistines
<06430>
[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.
And he awaked
<03364> (8799)
out of his sleep
<08142>_,
and went away
<05265> (8799)
with the pin
<03489>
of the beam
<0708>_,
and with the web
<04545>_.
16:15
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, How
<0349>
canst thou say
<0559> (8799)_,
I love
<0157> (8804)
thee, when thine heart
<03820>
[is] not with me? thou hast mocked
<02048> (8765)
me these three
<07969>
times
<06471>_,
and hast not told
<05046> (8689)
me wherein thy great
<01419>
strength
<03581>
[lieth].
16:16
And it came to pass, when she pressed
<06693> (8689)
him daily
<03117>
with her words
<01697>_,
and urged
<0509> (8762)
him, [so] that his soul
<05315>
was vexed
<07114> (8799)
unto death
<04191> (8800)_;
{vexed: Heb. shortened}
16:17
That he told
<05046> (8686)
her all his heart
<03820>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, There hath not come
<05927> (8804)
a razor
<04177>
upon mine head
<07218>_;
for I [have been] a Nazarite
<05139>
unto God
<0430>
from my mother's
<0517>
womb
<0990>_:
if I be shaven
<01548> (8795)_,
then my strength
<03581>
will go
<05493> (8804)
from me, and I shall become weak
<02470> (8804)_,
and be like any [other] man
<0120>_.
16:18
And when Delilah
<01807>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that he had told
<05046> (8689)
her all his heart
<03820>_,
she sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
for the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Come up
<05927> (8798)
this once
<06471>_,
for he hath shewed
<05046> (8689)
me all his heart
<03820>_.
Then the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
came up
<05927> (8804)
unto her, and brought
<05927> (8686)
money
<03701>
in their hand
<03027>_.
16:19
And she made him sleep
<03462> (8762)
upon her knees
<01290>_;
and she called
<07121> (8799)
for a man
<0376>_,
and she caused him to shave off
<01548> (8762)
the seven
<07651>
locks
<04253>
of his head
<07218>_;
and she began
<02490> (8686)
to afflict
<06031> (8763)
him, and his strength
<03581>
went
<05493> (8799)
from him.
16:20
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The Philistines
<06430>
[be] upon thee, Samson
<08123>_.
And he awoke
<03364> (8799)
out of his sleep
<08142>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go out
<03318> (8799)
as at other times before
<06471>_,
and shake
<05287> (8735)
myself. And he wist
<03045> (8804)
not that the LORD
<03068>
was departed
<05493> (8804)
from him.
16:21
But the Philistines
<06430>
took
<0270> (8799)
him, and put out
<05365> (8762)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and brought him down
<03381> (8686)
to Gaza
<05804>_,
and bound
<0631> (8799)
him with fetters of brass
<05178>_;
and he did grind
<02912> (8802)
in the prison
<0631> (8803)
house
<01004>_.
{put out: Heb. bored out}
16:22
Howbeit the hair
<08181>
of his head
<07218>
began
<02490> (8686)
to grow again
<06779> (8763)
after
<0834>
he was shaven
<01548> (8795)_.
{after...: or, as when he was shaven}
16:23
Then the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
gathered them together
<0622> (8738)
for to offer
<02076> (8800)
a great
<01419>
sacrifice
<02077>
unto Dagon
<01712>
their god
<0430>_,
and to rejoice
<08057>_:
for they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Our god
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
Samson
<08123>
our enemy
<0341> (8802)
into our hand
<03027>_.
16:24
And when the people
<05971>
saw
<07200> (8799)
him, they praised
<01984> (8762)
their god
<0430>_:
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Our god
<0430>
hath delivered
<05414> (8804)
into our hands
<03027>
our enemy
<0341> (8802)_,
and the destroyer
<02717> (8688)
of our country
<0776>_,
which slew
<02491>
many
<07235> (8689)
of us. {which...: Heb. and who multiplied our slain}
16:25
And it came to pass, when their hearts
<03820>
were merry
<02896>_,
that they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
for Samson
<08123>_,
that he may make us sport
<07832> (8762)_.
And they called
<07121> (8799)
for Samson
<08123>
out of the prison
<0631> (8803)
house
<01004>_;
and he made them
<06440>
sport
<06711> (8762)_:
and they set
<05975> (8686)
him between the pillars
<05982>_.
{them: Heb. before them}
16:26
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the lad
<05288>
that held
<02388> (8688)
him by the hand
<03027>_,
Suffer
<03240> (8685)
me that I may feel
<04184> (8685) (8675) <03237> (8685)
the pillars
<05982>
whereupon the house
<01004>
standeth
<03559> (8737)_,
that I may lean
<08172> (8735)
upon them.
16:27
Now the house
<01004>
was full
<04390> (8804)
of men
<0582>
and women
<0802>_;
and all the lords
<05633>
of the Philistines
<06430>
[were] there; and [there were] upon the roof
<01406>
about three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
and women
<0802>_,
that beheld
<07200> (8802)
while Samson
<08123>
made sport
<07832> (8800)_.
16:28
And Samson
<08123>
called
<07121> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
remember
<02142> (8798)
me, I pray thee, and strengthen
<02388> (8761)
me, I pray thee, only this once
<06471>_,
O God
<0430>_,
that I may be at once
<0259>
avenged
<05358> (8735) <05359>
of the Philistines
<06430>
for my two
<08147>
eyes
<05869>_.
16:29
And Samson
<08123>
took hold
<03943> (8799)
of the two
<08147>
middle
<08432>
pillars
<05982>
upon which the house
<01004>
stood
<03559> (8737)_,
and on which it was borne up
<05564> (8735)_,
of the one
<0259>
with his right hand
<03225>_,
and of the other
<0259>
with his left
<08040>_.
{on which...: or, he leaned on them}
16:30
And Samson
<08123>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me die
<04191> (8799) <05315>
with the Philistines
<06430>_.
And he bowed
<05186> (8799)
himself with [all his] might
<03581>_;
and the house
<01004>
fell
<05307> (8799)
upon the lords
<05633>_,
and upon all the people
<05971>
that [were] therein. So the dead
<04191> (8801)
which he slew
<04191> (8689)
at his death
<04194>
were more
<07227>
than [they] which he slew
<04191> (8689)
in his life
<02416>_.
{me: Heb. my soul}
16:31
Then his brethren
<0251>
and all the house
<01004>
of his father
<01>
came down
<03381> (8799)_,
and took
<05375> (8799)
him, and brought [him] up
<05927> (8799)_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him between Zorah
<06881>
and Eshtaol
<0847>
in the buryingplace
<06913>
of Manoah
<04495>
his father
<01>_.
And he judged
<08199> (8804)
Israel
<03478>
twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>_.
17:1
And there was a man
<0376>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
whose name
<08034>
[was] Micah
<04321>_.
17:2
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his mother
<0517>_,
The eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>
that were taken
<03947> (8795)
from thee, about which thou cursedst
<0422> (8804)_,
and spakest
<0559> (8804)
of also in mine ears
<0241>_,
behold, the silver
<03701>
[is] with me; I took
<03947> (8804)
it. And his mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be thou] of the LORD
<03068>_,
my son
<01121>_.
17:3
And when he had restored
<07725> (8686)
the eleven hundred
<0505> <03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>
to his mother
<0517>_,
his mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
I had wholly
<06942> (8687)
dedicated
<06942> (8689)
the silver
<03701>
unto the LORD
<03068>
from my hand
<03027>
for my son
<01121>_,
to make
<06213> (8800)
a graven image
<06459>
and a molten image
<04541>_:
now therefore I will restore
<07725> (8686)
it unto thee.
17:4
Yet he restored
<07725> (8686)
the money
<03701>
unto his mother
<0517>_;
and his mother
<0517>
took
<03947> (8799)
two hundred
<03967>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
them to the founder
<06884> (8802)_,
who made
<06213> (8799)
thereof a graven image
<06459>
and a molten image
<04541>_:
and they were in the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04321>_.
17:5
And the man
<0376>
Micah
<04318>
had an house
<01004>
of gods
<0430>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
an ephod
<0646>_,
and teraphim
<08655>_,
and consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>
one
<0259>
of his sons
<01121>_,
who became his priest
<03548>_.
{consecrated: Heb. filled the hand}
17:6
In those days
<03117>
[there was] no king
<04428>
in Israel
<03478>_,
[but] every man
<0376>
did
<06213> (8799)
[that which was] right
<03477>
in his own eyes
<05869>_.
17:7
And there was a young man
<05288>
out of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>
of the family
<04940>
of Judah
<03063>_,
who [was] a Levite
<03881>_,
and he sojourned
<01481> (8804)
there.
17:8
And the man
<0376>
departed
<03212> (8799)
out of the city
<05892>
from Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
where he could find
<04672> (8799)
[a place]: and he came
<0935> (8799)
to mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
to the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_,
as he journeyed
<06213> (8800) <01870>_.
{as he...: Heb. in making his way}
17:9
And Micah
<04318>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Whence
<0370>
comest
<0935> (8799)
thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] a Levite
<03881>
of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,
and I go
<01980> (8802)
to sojourn
<01481> (8800)
where I may find
<04672> (8799)
[a place].
17:10
And Micah
<04318>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Dwell
<03427> (8798)
with me, and be unto me a father
<01>
and a priest
<03548>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
thee ten
<06235>
[shekels] of silver
<03701>
by the year
<03117>_,
and a suit
<06187>
of apparel
<0899>_,
and thy victuals
<04241>_.
So the Levite
<03881>
went in
<03212> (8799)_.
{a suit...: or, a double suit, etc: Heb. an order of garments}
17:11
And the Levite
<03881>
was content
<02974> (8686)
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
with the man
<0376>_;
and the young man
<05288>
was unto him as one
<0259>
of his sons
<01121>_.
17:12
And Micah
<04318>
consecrated
<04390> (8762) <03027>
the Levite
<03881>_;
and the young man
<05288>
became his priest
<03548>_,
and was in the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_.
17:13
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Micah
<04318>_,
Now know
<03045> (8804)
I that the LORD
<03068>
will do me good
<03190> (8686)_,
seeing I have a Levite
<03881>
to [my] priest
<03548>_.
18:1
In those days
<03117>
[there was] no king
<04428>
in Israel
<03478>_:
and in those days
<03117>
the tribe
<07626>
of the Danites
<01839>
sought
<01245> (8764)
them an inheritance
<05159>
to dwell in
<03427> (8800)_;
for unto that day
<03117>
[all their] inheritance
<05159>
had not fallen
<05307> (8804)
unto them among
<08432>
the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_.
18:2
And the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>
sent
<07971> (8799)
of their family
<04940>
five
<02568>
men
<0582>
from their coasts
<07098>_,
men
<01121>
of valour
<02428>_,
from Zorah
<06881>_,
and from Eshtaol
<0847>_,
to spy
<07270> (8763)
out the land
<0776>_,
and to search
<02713> (8800)
it; and they said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
search
<02713> (8798)
the land
<0776>_:
who when they came
<0935> (8799)
to mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
to the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_,
they lodged
<03885> (8799)
there. {men of: Heb. sons of}
18:3
When they [were] by the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_,
they knew
<05234> (8689)
the voice
<06963>
of the young man
<05288>
the Levite
<03881>_:
and they turned in
<05493> (8799)
thither, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Who brought
<0935> (8689)
thee hither
<01988>_?
and what makest
<06213> (8802)
thou in this [place]? and what hast thou here?
18:4
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Thus
<02090>
and thus
<02090>
dealeth
<06213> (8804)
Micah
<04318>
with me, and hath hired
<07936> (8799)
me, and I am his priest
<03548>_.
18:5
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Ask counsel
<07592> (8798)_,
we pray thee, of God
<0430>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
whether our way
<01870>
which we go
<01980> (8802)
shall be prosperous
<06743> (8686)_.
18:6
And the priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Go
<03212> (8798)
in peace
<07965>_:
before
<05227>
the LORD
<03068>
[is] your way
<01870>
wherein ye go
<03212> (8799)_.
18:7
Then the five
<02568>
men
<0582>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
to Laish
<03919>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that [were] therein
<07130>_,
how they dwelt
<03427> (8802)
careless
<0983>_,
after the manner
<04941>
of the Zidonians
<06722>_,
quiet
<08252> (8802)
and secure
<0982> (8802)_;
and [there was] no magistrate
<03423> (8802) <06114>
in the land
<0776>_,
that might put [them] to shame
<03637> (8688)
in [any] thing
<01697>_;
and they [were] far
<07350>
from the Zidonians
<06722>_,
and had no business
<01697>
with [any] man
<0120>_.
{Laish: also called, Leshem} {magistrate: Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraints}
18:8
And they came
<0935> (8799)
unto their brethren
<0251>
to Zorah
<06881>
and Eshtaol
<0847>_:
and their brethren
<0251>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, What [say] ye?
18:9
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
that we may go up
<05927> (8799)
against them: for we have seen
<07200> (8804)
the land
<0776>_,
and, behold, it [is] very
<03966>
good
<02896>_:
and [are] ye still
<02814> (8688)_?
be not slothful
<06101> (8735)
to go
<03212> (8800)_,
[and] to enter
<0935> (8800)
to possess
<03423> (8800)
the land
<0776>_.
18:10
When ye go
<0935> (8800)_,
ye shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto a people
<05971>
secure
<0982> (8802)_,
and to a large
<07342>
land
<0776>_:
for God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
it into your hands
<03027>_;
a place
<04725>
where [there is] no want
<04270>
of any thing
<01697>
that [is] in the earth
<0776>_.
18:11
And there went
<05265> (8799)
from thence of the family
<04940>
of the Danites
<01839>_,
out of Zorah
<06881>
and out of Eshtaol
<0847>_,
six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
appointed
<02296> (8803)
with weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_.
{appointed: Heb. girded}
18:12
And they went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and pitched
<02583> (8799)
in Kirjathjearim
<07157>_,
in Judah
<03063>_:
wherefore they called
<07121> (8804)
that place
<04725>
Mahanehdan
<04265>
unto this day
<03117>_:
behold, [it is] behind
<0310>
Kirjathjearim
<07157>_.
18:13
And they passed
<05674> (8799)
thence unto mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_.
18:14
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
the five
<02568>
men
<0582>
that went
<01980> (8802)
to spy out
<07270> (8763)
the country
<0776>
of Laish
<03919>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto their brethren
<0251>_,
Do ye know
<03045> (8804)
that there is
<03426>
in these houses
<01004>
an ephod
<0646>_,
and teraphim
<08655>_,
and a graven image
<06459>_,
and a molten image
<04541>_?
now therefore consider
<03045> (8798)
what ye have to do
<06213> (8799)_.
18:15
And they turned
<05493> (8799)
thitherward, and came
<0935> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of the young man
<05288>
the Levite
<03881>_,
[even] unto the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_,
and saluted
<07592> (8799) <07965>
him. {saluted...: Heb. asked him of peace}
18:16
And the six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
appointed
<02296> (8803)
with their weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_,
which [were] of the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>_,
stood
<05324> (8737)
by the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>_.
18:17
And the five
<02568>
men
<0582>
that went
<01980> (8802)
to spy out
<07270> (8763)
the land
<0776>
went up
<05927> (8799)_,
[and] came in
<0935> (8804)
thither, [and] took
<03947> (8804)
the graven image
<06459>_,
and the ephod
<0646>_,
and the teraphim
<08655>_,
and the molten image
<04541>_:
and the priest
<03548>
stood
<05324> (8737)
in the entering
<06607>
of the gate
<08179>
with the six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
[that were] appointed
<02296> (8803)
with weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_.
18:18
And these went
<0935> (8804)
into Micah's
<04318>
house
<01004>_,
and fetched
<03947> (8799)
the carved image
<06459>_,
the ephod
<0646>_,
and the teraphim
<08655>_,
and the molten image
<04541>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the priest
<03548>
unto them, What do
<06213> (8802)
ye?
18:19
And they said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,
lay
<07760> (8798)
thine hand
<03027>
upon thy mouth
<06310>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
with us, and be to us
<01961> (8800)
a father
<01>
and a priest
<03548>_:
[is it] better
<02896>
for thee to be a priest
<03548>
unto the house
<01004>
of one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
or that thou be a priest
<03548>
unto a tribe
<07626>
and a family
<04940>
in Israel
<03478>_?
18:20
And the priest's
<03548>
heart
<03820>
was glad
<03190> (8799)_,
and he took
<03947> (8799)
the ephod
<0646>_,
and the teraphim
<08655>_,
and the graven image
<06459>_,
and went in
<0935> (8799)
the midst
<07130>
of the people
<05971>_.
18:21
So they turned
<06437> (8799)
and departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
the little ones
<02945>
and the cattle
<04735>
and the carriage
<03520>
before
<06440>
them.
18:22
[And] when they were a good way
<07368> (8689)
from the house
<01004>
of Micah
<04318>_,
the men
<0582>
that [were] in the houses
<01004>
near to Micah's
<04318>
house
<01004>
were gathered together
<02199> (8738)_,
and overtook
<01692> (8686)
the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>_.
18:23
And they cried
<07121> (8799)
unto the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>_.
And they turned
<05437> (8686)
their faces
<06440>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Micah
<04318>_,
What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company
<02199> (8738)_?
{comest...: Heb. art gathered together?}
18:24
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Ye have taken away
<03947> (8804)
my gods
<0430>
which I made
<06213> (8804)_,
and the priest
<03548>_,
and ye are gone away
<03212> (8799)_:
and what have I more? and what [is] this [that] ye say
<0559> (8799)
unto me, What aileth thee?
18:25
And the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let not thy voice
<06963>
be heard
<08085> (8686)
among us, lest angry
<04751> <05315>
fellows
<0582>
run
<06293> (8799)
upon thee, and thou lose
<0622> (8804)
thy life
<05315>_,
with the lives
<05315>
of thy household
<01004>_.
{angry: Heb. bitter of soul}
18:26
And the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>
went
<03212> (8799)
their way
<01870>_:
and when Micah
<04318>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that they [were] too strong
<02389>
for him, he turned
<06437> (8799)
and went back
<07725> (8799)
unto his house
<01004>_.
18:27
And they took
<03947> (8804)
[the things] which Micah
<04318>
had made
<06213> (8804)_,
and the priest
<03548>
which he had, and came
<0935> (8799)
unto Laish
<03919>_,
unto a people
<05971>
[that were] at quiet
<08252> (8802)
and secure
<0982> (8802)_:
and they smote
<05221> (8686)
them with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
and burnt
<08313> (8804)
the city
<05892>
with fire
<0784>_.
18:28
And [there was] no deliverer
<05337> (8688)_,
because it [was] far
<07350>
from Zidon
<06721>_,
and they had no business
<01697>
with [any] man
<0120>_;
and it was in the valley
<06010>
that [lieth] by Bethrehob
<01050>_.
And they built
<01129> (8799)
a city
<05892>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
therein.
18:29
And they called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
Dan
<01835>_,
after the name
<08034>
of Dan
<01835>
their father
<01>_,
who was born
<03205> (8795)
unto Israel
<03478>_:
howbeit
<0199>
the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
[was] Laish
<03919>
at the first
<07223>_.
18:30
And the children
<01121>
of Dan
<01835>
set up
<06965> (8686)
the graven image
<06459>_:
and Jonathan
<03083>_,
the son
<01121>
of Gershom
<01647>_,
the son
<01121>
of Manasseh
<04519>_,
he and his sons
<01121>
were priests
<03548>
to the tribe
<07626>
of Dan
<01839>
until the day
<03117>
of the captivity
<01540> (8800)
of the land
<0776>_.
18:31
And they set them up
<07760> (8799)
Micah's
<04318>
graven image
<06459>_,
which he made
<06213> (8804)_,
all the time
<03117>
that the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>
was in Shiloh
<07887>_.
19:1
And it came to pass in those days
<03117>_,
when [there was] no king
<04428>
in Israel
<03478>_,
that there was a certain
<0376>
Levite
<03881>
sojourning
<01481> (8802)
on the side
<03411>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_,
who took
<03947> (8799)
to him a concubine
<0802> <06370>
out of Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_.
{a concubine: Heb. a woman a concubine, or, a wife a concubine}
19:2
And his concubine
<06370>
played the whore
<02181> (8799)
against him, and went away
<03212> (8799)
from him unto her father's
<01>
house
<01004>
to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,
and was there four
<0702>
whole months
<02320> <03117>_.
{four whole months: or, a year and four month: Heb. days, four months}
19:3
And her husband
<0376>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
after
<0310>
her, to speak
<01696> (8763)
friendly
<03820>
unto her, [and] to bring her again
<07725> (8687)_,
having his servant
<05288>
with him, and a couple
<06776>
of asses
<02543>_:
and she brought
<0935> (8686)
him into her father's
<01>
house
<01004>_:
and when the father
<01>
of the damsel
<05291>
saw
<07200> (8799)
him, he rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him. {friendly...: Heb. to her heart}
19:4
And his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,
the damsel's
<05291>
father
<01>_,
retained
<02388> (8686)
him; and he abode
<03427> (8799)
with him three
<07969>
days
<03117>_:
so they did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and lodged
<03885> (8799)
there.
19:5
And it came to pass on the fourth
<07243>
day
<03117>_,
when they arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
that he rose up
<06965> (8799)
to depart
<03212> (8800)_:
and the damsel's
<05291>
father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his son in law
<02860>_,
Comfort
<05582> (8798)
thine heart
<03820>
with a morsel
<06595>
of bread
<03899>_,
and afterward
<0310>
go your way
<03212> (8799)_.
{Comfort: Heb. Strengthen}
19:6
And they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them together
<03162>_:
for the damsel's
<05291>
father
<01>
had said
<0559> (8799)
unto the man
<0376>_,
Be content
<02974> (8685)_,
I pray thee, and tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_,
and let thine heart
<03820>
be merry
<03190> (8799)_.
19:7
And when the man
<0376>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
to depart
<03212> (8800)_,
his father in law
<02859> (8802)
urged
<06484> (8799)
him: therefore he lodged
<03885> (8799)
there again
<07725> (8799)_.
19:8
And he arose early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>
on the fifth
<02549>
day
<03117>
to depart
<03212> (8800)_:
and the damsel's
<05291>
father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Comfort
<05582> (8798)
thine heart
<03824>_,
I pray thee. And they tarried
<04102> (8701)
until afternoon
<03117> <05186> (8800)_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
both
<08147>
of them. {until afternoon: Heb. till the day declined}
19:9
And when the man
<0376>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
to depart
<03212> (8800)_,
he, and his concubine
<06370>_,
and his servant
<05288>_,
his father in law
<02859> (8802)_,
the damsel's
<05291>
father
<01>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, now the day
<03117>
draweth
<07503> (8804)
toward evening
<06150> (8800)_,
I pray you tarry all night
<03885> (8798)_:
behold, the day
<03117>
groweth to an end
<02583> (8800)_,
lodge
<03885> (8798)
here, that thine heart
<03824>
may be merry
<03190> (8799)_;
and to morrow
<04279>
get you early
<07925> (8689)
on your way
<01870>_,
that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)
home
<0168>_.
{draweth: Heb. is weak} {the day groweth to an end: Heb. it is the pitching time of the day} {home: Heb. to thy tent}
19:10
But the man
<0376>
would
<014> (8804)
not tarry that night
<03885> (8800)_,
but he rose up
<06965> (8799)
and departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
over against
<05227>
Jebus
<02982>_,
which [is] Jerusalem
<03389>_;
and [there were] with him two
<06776>
asses
<02543>
saddled
<02280> (8803)_,
his concubine
<06370>
also [was] with him. {over against: Heb. to over against}
19:11
[And] when they [were] by Jebus
<02982>_,
the day
<03117>
was far
<03966>
spent
<07286> (8804)_;
and the servant
<05288>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his master
<0113>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
I pray thee, and let us turn in
<05493> (8799)
into this city
<05892>
of the Jebusites
<02983>_,
and lodge
<03885> (8799)
in it.
19:12
And his master
<0113>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We will not turn aside
<05493> (8799)
hither into the city
<05892>
of a stranger
<05237>_,
that [is] not of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
we will pass over
<05674> (8804)
to Gibeah
<01390>_.
19:13
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servant
<05288>_,
Come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us draw near
<07126> (8799)
to one
<0259>
of these places
<04725>
to lodge all night
<03885> (8804)_,
in Gibeah
<01390>_,
or in Ramah
<07414>_.
19:14
And they passed on
<05674> (8799)
and went their way
<03212> (8799)_;
and the sun
<08121>
went down
<0935> (8799)
upon them [when they were] by
<0681>
Gibeah
<01390>_,
which [belongeth] to Benjamin
<01144>_.
19:15
And they turned aside
<05493> (8799)
thither, to go in
<0935> (8800)
[and] to lodge
<03885> (8800)
in Gibeah
<01390>_:
and when he went in
<0935> (8799)_,
he sat him down
<03427> (8799)
in a street
<07339>
of the city
<05892>_:
for [there was] no man
<0376>
that took
<0622> (8764)
them into his house
<01004>
to lodging
<03885> (8800)_.
19:16
And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)
an old
<02205>
man
<0376>
from his work
<04639>
out of the field
<07704>
at even
<06153>_,
which [was] also
<0376>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_;
and he sojourned
<01481> (8804)
in Gibeah
<01390>_:
but the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
[were] Benjamites
<01145>_.
19:17
And when he had lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
he saw
<07200> (8799)
a wayfaring
<0732> (8802)
man
<0376>
in the street
<07339>
of the city
<05892>_:
and the old
<02205>
man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whither goest
<03212> (8799)
thou? and whence
<0370>
comest
<0935> (8799)
thou?
19:18
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We [are] passing
<05674> (8802)
from Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>
toward the side
<03411>
of mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>_;
from thence [am] I: and I went
<03212> (8799)
to Bethlehemjudah
<01035> <03063>_,
but I [am now] going
<01980> (8802)
to the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
and there [is] no man
<0376>
that receiveth
<0622> (8764)
me to house
<01004>_.
{receiveth: Heb. gathereth}
19:19
Yet there is
<03426>
both straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
for our asses
<02543>_;
and there is bread
<03899>
and wine
<03196>
also for me, and for thy handmaid
<0519>_,
and for the young man
<05288>
[which is] with thy servants
<05650>_:
[there is] no want
<04270>
of any thing
<01697>_.
19:20
And the old
<02205>
man
<0376>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Peace
<07965>
[be] with thee; howsoever
<07535>
[let] all thy wants
<04270>
[lie] upon me; only lodge
<03885> (8799)
not in the street
<07339>_.
19:21
So he brought
<0935> (8686)
him into his house
<01004>_,
and gave provender
<01101> (8799)
unto the asses
<02543>_:
and they washed
<07364> (8799)
their feet
<07272>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_.
19:22
[Now] as they were making their hearts
<03820>
merry
<03190> (8688)_,
behold, the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>_,
certain
<0582>
sons
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
beset
<05437> (0)
the house
<01004>
round about
<05437> (8738)_,
[and] beat
<01849> (8693)
at the door
<01817>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
to the master
<01167>
of the house
<01004>_,
the old
<02205>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring forth
<03318> (8685)
the man
<0376>
that came
<0935> (8804)
into thine house
<01004>_,
that we may know
<03045> (8799)
him.
19:23
And the man
<0376>_,
the master
<01167>
of the house
<01004>_,
went out
<03318> (8799)
unto them, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Nay
<0408>_,
my brethren
<0251>_,
[nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly
<07489> (8686)_;
seeing
<0310>
that this man
<0376>
is come
<0935> (8804)
into mine house
<01004>_,
do
<06213> (8799)
not this folly
<05039>_.
19:24
Behold, [here is] my daughter
<01323>
a maiden
<01330>_,
and his concubine
<06370>_;
them I will bring out
<03318> (8686)
now, and humble
<06031> (8761)
ye them, and do
<06213> (8798)
with them what seemeth
<05869>
good
<02896>
unto you: but unto this man
<0376>
do
<06213> (8799)
not so
<02063>
vile
<05039>
a thing
<01697>_.
{so vile...: Heb. the matter of this folly}
19:25
But the men
<0582>
would
<014> (8804)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
to him: so the man
<0376>
took
<02388> (8686)
his concubine
<06370>_,
and brought
<03318> (8686)
her forth
<02351>
unto them; and they knew
<03045> (8799)
her, and abused
<05953> (8691)
her all the night
<03915>
until the morning
<01242>_:
and when the day
<07837>
began to spring
<05927> (8800)_,
they let her go
<07971> (8762)_.
19:26
Then came
<0935> (8799)
the woman
<0802>
in the dawning
<06437> (8800)
of the day
<01242>_,
and fell down
<05307> (8799)
at the door
<06607>
of the man's
<0376>
house
<01004>
where her lord
<0113>
[was], till it was light
<0216>_.
19:27
And her lord
<0113>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and opened
<06605> (8799)
the doors
<01817>
of the house
<01004>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)
to go
<03212> (8800)
his way
<01870>_:
and, behold, the woman
<0802>
his concubine
<06370>
was fallen down
<05307> (8802)
[at] the door
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_,
and her hands
<03027>
[were] upon the threshold
<05592>_.
19:28
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Up
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us be going
<03212> (8799)_.
But none answered
<06030> (8802)_.
Then the man
<0376>
took
<03947> (8799)
her [up] upon an ass
<02543>_,
and the man
<0376>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and gat
<03212> (8799)
him unto his place
<04725>_.
19:29
And when he was come
<0935> (8799)
into his house
<01004>_,
he took
<03947> (8799)
a knife
<03979>_,
and laid hold
<02388> (8686)
on his concubine
<06370>_,
and divided
<05408> (8762)
her, [together] with her bones
<06106>_,
into twelve
<08147> <06240>
pieces
<05409>_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
her into all the coasts
<01366>
of Israel
<03478>_.
19:30
And it was so
<01961> (8738)_,
that all that saw
<07200> (8802)
it said
<0559> (8804)_,
There was no such deed
<02063>
done nor seen
<07200> (8738)
from the day
<03117>
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came up
<05927> (8800)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
unto this day
<03117>_:
consider
<07760> (8798)
of it, take advice
<05779> (8798)_,
and speak
<01696> (8761)
[your minds].
20:1
Then all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)_,
and the congregation
<05712>
was gathered together
<06950> (8735)
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
from Dan
<01835>
even to Beersheba
<0884>_,
with the land
<0776>
of Gilead
<01568>_,
unto the LORD
<03068>
in Mizpeh
<04709>_.
20:2
And the chief
<06438>
of all the people
<05971>_,
[even] of all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
presented
<03320> (8691)
themselves in the assembly
<06951>
of the people
<05971>
of God
<0430>_,
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
footmen
<0376> <07273>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
20:3
(Now the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
heard
<08085> (8799)
that the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
were gone up
<05927> (8804)
to Mizpeh
<04709>.)
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Tell
<01696> (8761)
[us], how was
<01961> (8738)
this wickedness
<07451>_?
20:4
And the Levite
<03881> <0376>_,
the husband
<0376>
of the woman
<0802>
that was slain
<07523> (8737)_,
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I came
<0935> (8804)
into Gibeah
<01390>
that [belongeth] to Benjamin
<01144>_,
I and my concubine
<06370>_,
to lodge
<03885> (8800)_.
{the Levite: Heb. the man the Levite}
20:5
And the men
<01167>
of Gibeah
<01390>
rose
<06965> (8799)
against me, and beset
<05437> (0)
the house
<01004>
round about
<05437> (8799)
upon me by night
<03915>_,
[and] thought
<01819> (8765)
to have slain
<02026> (8800)
me: and my concubine
<06370>
have they forced
<06031> (8765)_,
that she is dead
<04191> (8799)_.
{forced: Heb. humbled}
20:6
And I took
<0270> (8799)
my concubine
<06370>_,
and cut her in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,
and sent
<07971> (8762)
her throughout all the country
<07704>
of the inheritance
<05159>
of Israel
<03478>_:
for they have committed
<06213> (8804)
lewdness
<02154>
and folly
<05039>
in Israel
<03478>_.
20:7
Behold, ye [are] all children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_;
give
<03051> (8798)
here
<01988>
your advice
<01697>
and counsel
<06098>_.
20:8
And all the people
<05971>
arose
<06965> (8799)
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We will not any
<0376>
[of us] go
<03212> (8799)
to his tent
<0168>_,
neither will we any
<0376>
[of us] turn
<05493> (8799)
into his house
<01004>_.
20:9
But now this [shall be] the thing
<01697>
which we will do
<06213> (8799)
to Gibeah
<01390>_;
[we will go up] by lot
<01486>
against it;
20:10
And we will take
<03947> (8804)
ten
<06235>
men
<0582>
of an hundred
<03967>
throughout all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
of a thousand
<0505>_,
and a thousand
<0505>
out of ten thousand
<07233>_,
to fetch
<03947> (8800)
victual
<06720>
for the people
<05971>_,
that they may do
<06213> (8800)_,
when they come
<0935> (8800)
to Gibeah
<01387>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
according to all the folly
<05039>
that they have wrought
<06213> (8804)
in Israel
<03478>_.
20:11
So all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
were gathered
<0622> (8735)
against the city
<05892>_,
knit together
<02270>
as one
<0259>
man
<0376>_.
{knit...: Heb. fellows}
20:12
And the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
sent
<07971> (8799)
men
<0582>
through all the tribe
<07626>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
What wickedness
<07451>
[is] this that is done
<01961> (8738)
among you?
20:13
Now therefore deliver
<05414> (8798)
[us] the men
<0582>_,
the children
<01121>
of Belial
<01100>_,
which [are] in Gibeah
<01390>_,
that we may put them to death
<04191> (8686)_,
and put away
<01197> (8762)
evil
<07451>
from Israel
<03478>_.
But the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
would
<014> (8804)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
to the voice
<06963>
of their brethren
<0251>
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
20:14
But the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
gathered themselves together
<0622> (8735)
out of the cities
<05892>
unto Gibeah
<01390>_,
to go out
<03318> (8800)
to battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
20:15
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
were numbered
<06485> (8691)
at that time
<03117>
out of the cities
<05892>
twenty
<06242>
and six
<08337>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_,
beside the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Gibeah
<01390>_,
which were numbered
<06485> (8694)
seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>_.
20:16
Among all this people
<05971>
[there were] seven
<07651>
hundred
<03967>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>
lefthanded
<0334> <03027> <03225>_;
every one could sling
<07049> (8802)
stones
<068>
at an hair
<08185>
[breadth], and not miss
<02398> (8686)_.
20:17
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_,
beside Benjamin
<01144>_,
were numbered
<06485> (8694)
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
sword
<02719>_:
all these [were] men
<0376>
of war
<04421>_.
20:18
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went up
<05927> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,
and asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of God
<0430>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which
<04310>
of us shall go up
<05927> (8799)
first
<08462>
to the battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Judah
<03063>
[shall go up] first
<08462>_.
20:19
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and encamped
<02583> (8799)
against Gibeah
<01390>_.
20:20
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to battle
<04421>
against Benjamin
<01144>_;
and the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
to fight
<04421>
against them at Gibeah
<01390>_.
20:21
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
came forth
<03318> (8799)
out of Gibeah
<01390>_,
and destroyed down
<07843> (8686)
to the ground
<0776>
of the Israelites
<03478>
that day
<03117>
twenty
<06242>
and two
<08147>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_.
20:22
And the people
<05971>
the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
encouraged
<02388> (8691)
themselves, and set their battle
<04421>
again
<03254> (8686)
in array
<06186> (8800)
in the place
<04725>
where they put themselves in array
<06186> (8804)
the first
<07223>
day
<03117>_.
20:23
(And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went up
<05927> (8799)
and wept
<01058> (8799)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
until even
<06153>_,
and asked
<07592> (8799)
counsel of the LORD
<03068>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I go up
<05066> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)
to battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
my brother
<0251>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
against him.)
20:24
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
came near
<07126> (8799)
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
the second
<08145>
day
<03117>_.
20:25
And Benjamin
<01144>
went forth
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
them out of Gibeah
<01390>
the second
<08145>
day
<03117>_,
and destroyed down
<07843> (8686)
to the ground
<0776>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
again eighteen
<08083> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_;
all these drew
<08025> (8802)
the sword
<02719>_.
20:26
Then all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and all the people
<05971>_,
went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto the house
<01004>
of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
there before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
and fasted
<06684> (8799)
that day
<03117>
until even
<06153>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
20:27
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
enquired
<07592> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>_,
(for the ark
<0727>
of the covenant
<01285>
of God
<0430>
[was] there in those days
<03117>_,
20:28
And Phinehas
<06372>_,
the son
<01121>
of Eleazar
<0499>_,
the son
<01121>
of Aaron
<0175>_,
stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
it in those days
<03117>,)
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Shall I yet again
<03254> (8686)
go out
<03318> (8800)
to battle
<04421>
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
my brother
<0251>_,
or shall I cease
<02308> (8799)_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)_;
for to morrow
<04279>
I will deliver
<05414> (8799)
them into thine hand
<03027>_.
20:29
And Israel
<03478>
set
<07760> (8799)
liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
round about
<05439>
Gibeah
<01390>_.
20:30
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
went up
<05927> (8799)
against the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
and put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
against Gibeah
<01390>_,
as at other times
<06471>_.
20:31
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
went out
<03318> (8799)
against
<07125> (8800)
the people
<05971>_,
[and] were drawn away
<05423> (8717)
from the city
<05892>_;
and they began
<02490> (8686)
to smite
<05221> (8687)
of the people
<05971>_,
[and] kill
<02491>_,
as at other times
<06471>_,
in the highways
<04546>_,
of which one
<0259>
goeth up
<05927> (8802)
to the house
<01004>
of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,
and the other
<0259>
to Gibeah
<01390>
in the field
<07704>_,
about thirty
<07970>
men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{to smite...: Heb. to smite of the people wounded as at, etc} {the house...: or, Bethel}
20:32
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
They [are] smitten down
<05062> (8737)
before
<06440>
us, as at the first
<07223>_.
But the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
Let us flee
<05127> (8799)_,
and draw
<05423> (8804)
them from the city
<05892>
unto the highways
<04546>_.
20:33
And all the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
rose up
<06965> (8804)
out of their place
<04725>_,
and put themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
at Baaltamar
<01193>_:
and the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
of Israel
<03478>
came forth
<01518> (8688)
out of their places
<04725>_,
[even] out of the meadows
<04629>
of Gibeah
<01387>_.
20:34
And there came
<0935> (8799)
against
<05048>
Gibeah
<01390>
ten
<06235>
thousand
<0505>
chosen
<0977> (8803)
men
<0376>
out of all Israel
<03478>_,
and the battle
<04421>
was sore
<03513> (8804)_:
but they knew
<03045> (8804)
not that evil
<07451>
[was] near
<05060> (8802)
them.
20:35
And the LORD
<03068>
smote
<05062> (8799)
Benjamin
<01144>
before
<06440>
Israel
<03478>_:
and the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
destroyed
<07843> (8686)
of the Benjamites
<01145>
that day
<03117>
twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
and an hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>_:
all these drew
<08025> (8802)
the sword
<02719>_.
20:36
So the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that they were smitten
<05062> (8738)_:
for the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
gave
<05414> (8799)
place
<04725>
to the Benjamites
<01145>_,
because they trusted
<0982> (8804)
unto the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
which they had set
<07760> (8804)
beside Gibeah
<01390>_.
20:37
And the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
hasted
<02363> (8689)_,
and rushed
<06584> (8799)
upon Gibeah
<01390>_;
and the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)
drew [themselves] along
<04900> (8799)_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
all the city
<05892>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_.
{drew...: or, made a long sound with the trumpet}
20:38
Now there was an appointed sign
<04150>
between the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
and
<05973>
the liers in wait
<0693> (8802)_,
that they should make a great
<07235> (8685)
flame
<04864>
with smoke
<06227>
rise up
<05927> (8687)
out of the city
<05892>_.
{sign: or, time} {and: Heb. with} {flame: Heb. elevation}
20:39
And when the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
retired
<02015> (8799)
in the battle
<04421>_,
Benjamin
<01144>
began
<02490> (8689)
to smite
<05221> (8687)
[and] kill
<02491>
of the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
about thirty
<07970>
persons
<0376>_:
for they said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<05062> (8736)
they are smitten down
<05062> (8737)
before
<06440>
us, as [in] the first
<07223>
battle
<04421>_.
{to smite...: Heb. to smite the wounded}
20:40
But when the flame
<04864>
began
<02490> (8689)
to arise up
<05927> (8800)
out of the city
<05892>
with a pillar
<05982>
of smoke
<06227>_,
the Benjamites
<01145>
looked
<06437> (8799)
behind
<0310>
them, and, behold, the flame
<03632>
of the city
<05892>
ascended up
<05927> (8804)
to heaven
<08064>_.
{the flame of: Heb. the whole consumption of}
20:41
And when the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
turned again
<02015> (8804)_,
the men
<0376>
of Benjamin
<01144>
were amazed
<0926> (8735)_:
for they saw
<07200> (8804)
that evil
<07451>
was come
<05060> (8804)
upon them. {was come...: Heb. touched them}
20:42
Therefore they turned
<06437> (8799)
[their backs] before
<06440>
the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
unto the way
<01870>
of the wilderness
<04057>_;
but the battle
<04421>
overtook
<01692> (8689)
them; and them which [came] out of the cities
<05892>
they destroyed
<07843> (8688)
in the midst
<08432>
of them.
20:43
[Thus] they inclosed
<03803> (8765)
the Benjamites
<01145>
round about
<03803> (8765)_,
[and] chased
<07291> (8689)
them, [and] trode them down
<01869> (8689)
with ease
<04496>
over against
<05227>
Gibeah
<01390>
toward the sunrising
<04217> <08121>_.
{with ease...: or, from Menuchah, etc} {over...: Heb. unto over against}
20:44
And there fell
<05307> (8799)
of Benjamin
<01144>
eighteen
<08083> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_;
all these [were] men
<0582>
of valour
<02428>_.
20:45
And they turned
<06437> (8799)
and fled
<05127> (8799)
toward the wilderness
<04057>
unto the rock
<05553>
of Rimmon
<07417>_:
and they gleaned
<05953> (8779)
of them in the highways
<04546>
five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_;
and pursued
<01692> (8686)
hard after
<0310>
them unto Gidom
<01440>_,
and slew
<05221> (8686)
two thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of them.
20:46
So that all which fell
<05307> (8802)
that day
<03117>
of Benjamin
<01144>
were twenty
<06242>
and five
<02568>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
that drew
<08025> (8802)
the sword
<02719>_;
all these [were] men
<0582>
of valour
<02428>_.
20:47
But six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
turned
<06437> (8799)
and fled
<05127> (8799)
to the wilderness
<04057>
unto the rock
<05553>
Rimmon
<07417>_,
and abode
<03427> (8799)
in the rock
<05553>
Rimmon
<07417>
four
<0702>
months
<02320>_.
20:48
And the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
turned again
<07725> (8804)
upon the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
as well the men
<04974>
of [every] city
<05892>_,
as
<05704>
the beast
<0929>_,
and all that came to hand
<04672> (8737)_:
also they set
<07971> (8765)
on fire
<0784>
all the cities
<05892>
that they came to
<04672> (8737)_.
{came to hand: Heb. was found} {they came...: Heb. were found}
21:1
Now the men
<0376>
of Israel
<03478>
had sworn
<07650> (8738)
in Mizpeh
<04709>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
There shall not any
<0376>
of us give
<05414> (8799)
his daughter
<01323>
unto Benjamin
<01144>
to wife
<0802>_.
21:2
And the people
<05971>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the house
<01004>
of God
<0430> (8677) <01008>_,
and abode
<03427> (8799)
there till even
<06153>
before
<06440>
God
<0430>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
their voices
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799) <01065>
sore
<01419>_;
21:3
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
why is this come to pass in Israel
<03478>_,
that there should be to day
<03117>
one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
lacking
<06485> (8736)
in Israel
<03478>_?
21:4
And it came to pass on the morrow
<04283>_,
that the people
<05971>
rose early
<07925> (8686)_,
and built
<01129> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>_,
and offered
<05927> (8686)
burnt offerings
<05930>
and peace offerings
<08002>_.
21:5
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is there] among all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
that
<0834>
came
<05927> (8804)
not up with the congregation
<06951>
unto the LORD
<03068>_?
For they had made a great
<01419>
oath
<07621>
concerning him that came not up
<05927> (8804)
to the LORD
<03068>
to Mizpeh
<04709>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
He shall surely
<04191> (8800)
be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.
21:6
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
repented
<05162> (8735)
them for Benjamin
<01144>
their brother
<0251>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
There is one
<0259>
tribe
<07626>
cut off
<01438> (8738)
from Israel
<03478>
this day
<03117>_.
21:7
How shall we do
<06213> (8799)
for wives
<0802>
for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,
seeing we have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by the LORD
<03068>
that we will not give
<05414> (8800)
them of our daughters
<01323>
to wives
<0802>_?
21:8
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
What one
<0259>
[is there] of the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
that came not up
<05927> (8804)
to Mizpeh
<04709>
to the LORD
<03068>_?
And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)
none
<0376>
to the camp
<04264>
from Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
to the assembly
<06951>_.
21:9
For the people
<05971>
were numbered
<06485> (8691)_,
and, behold, [there were] none
<0376>
of the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
there.
21:10
And the congregation
<05712>
sent
<07971> (8799)
thither twelve
<08147> <06240>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
of the valiantest
<01121> <02428>_,
and commanded
<06680> (8762)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and smite
<05221> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
with the edge
<06310>
of the sword
<02719>_,
with the women
<0802>
and the children
<02945>_.
21:11
And this [is] the thing
<01697>
that ye shall do
<06213> (8799)_,
Ye shall utterly destroy
<02763> (8686)
every male
<02145>_,
and every woman
<0802>
that hath lain
<04904>
by man
<03045> (8802)_.
{hath lain...: Heb. knoweth the lying with man}
21:12
And they found
<04672> (8799)
among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>
four
<0702>
hundred
<03967>
young
<05291>
virgins
<01330>_,
that had known
<03045> (8804)
no man
<0376>
by lying
<04904>
with any male
<02145>_:
and they brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto the camp
<04264>
to Shiloh
<07887>_,
which [is] in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
{young...: Heb. young women virgins}
21:13
And the whole congregation
<05712>
sent
<07971> (8799)
[some] to speak
<01696> (8762)
to the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
that [were] in the rock
<05553>
Rimmon
<07417>_,
and to call
<07121> (8799)
peaceably
<07965>
unto them. {to speak...: Heb. and spake and called} {call...: or, proclaim peace}
21:14
And Benjamin
<01144>
came again
<07725> (8799)
at that time
<06256>_;
and they gave
<05414> (8799)
them wives
<0802>
which they had saved alive
<02421> (8765)
of the women
<0802>
of Jabeshgilead
<03003> <01568>_:
and yet so they sufficed
<04672> (8804)
them not.
21:15
And the people
<05971>
repented
<05162> (8737)
them for Benjamin
<01144>_,
because that the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06213> (8804)
a breach
<06556>
in the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>_.
21:16
Then the elders
<02205>
of the congregation
<05712>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
How shall we do
<06213> (8799)
for wives
<0802>
for them that remain
<03498> (8737)_,
seeing the women
<0802>
are destroyed
<08045> (8738)
out of Benjamin
<01144>_?
21:17
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There must be] an inheritance
<03425>
for them that be escaped
<06413>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
that a tribe
<07626>
be not destroyed
<04229> (8735)
out of Israel
<03478>_.
21:18
Howbeit we may
<03201> (8799)
not give
<05414> (8800)
them wives
<0802>
of our daughters
<01323>_:
for the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
have sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that giveth
<05414> (8802)
a wife
<0802>
to Benjamin
<01144>_.
21:19
Then they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, [there is] a feast
<02282>
of the LORD
<03068>
in Shiloh
<07887>
yearly
<03117> <03117>
[in a place] which [is] on the north side
<06828>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
on the east side
<04217> <08121>
of the highway
<04546>
that goeth up
<05927> (8802)
from Bethel
<01008>
to Shechem
<07927>_,
and on the south

come out
<03318> (8799)
to dance
<02342> (8800)
in dances

come
<0935> (8799)
unto us to complain

that we will say
<0559> (8804)
unto them, Be favourable
<02603> (8798)
unto them for our sakes: because we reserved
<03947> (8804)

<0802>
in the war

for ye did not give

[them] wives

according to their number

did
