David therefore sent out spies, and understood knew that Saul Shaul was come in very deed prepared. And David arose, and came to the place where Saul Shaul had pitched encamped: and David beheld saw the place where Saul Shaul lay, and Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, the captain governor of his host: and Saul Shaul lay in the trench route, and the people pitched encamped round about him. Then answered David and said to Ahimelech Achiy Melech the Hittite Hethiy, and to Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah, brother to Joab Yah Ab, saying, Who will go down shall descend with me to Saul Shaul to the camp? And Abishai Abi Shai said, I will go down shall descend with thee. So David and Abishai Abi Shai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul Shaul lay sleeping within the trench route, and his spear stuck pierced in the ground earth at his bolster headpieces: but Abner Abi Ner and the people lay round about him. Then said Abishai Abi Shai to David, God Elohim hath delivered shut thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray beseech thee, with the spear even to the earth at once one time, and I will not smite him the second time. And David said to Abishai Abi Shai, Destroy Ruin him not: for who can stretch send forth his hand against the L ORD'S Yah Veh's anointed, and be guiltless exonorated? David said furthermore, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, the L ORD Yah Veh shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle war, and perish be scraped away. The L ORD forbid Far be it that I should stretch send forth mine hand against the L ORD'S Yah Veh's anointed: but, I pray beseech thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster headpieces, and the cruse of water, and let us go. So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster Shaul's headpieces; and they gat them away went, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sound sleep from the L ORD Yah Veh was fallen upon them. Then David went passed over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill a mountain afar off; a great space place being between them: And David cried called out to the people, and to Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner Abi Ner? Then Abner Abi Ner answered and said, Who art thou that criest callest to the king sovereign? And David said to Abner Abi Ner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel Yisra El? wherefore then hast thou not kept guarded thy lord adoni the king sovereign? for there came one of the people in to destroy ruin the king sovereign thy lord adoni. This thing word is not good that thou hast done worked. As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, ye are worthy to die sons of death, because ye have not kept guarded your master adoni, the L ORD'S Yah Veh's anointed. And now see where the king's sovereign's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster headpieces. And Saul knew Shaul recognized David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David?

and David sends spies and knows Shaul comes prepared: and David rises and comes to the place where Shaul encamps: and David sees the place where Shaul lies and Abi Ner the son of Ner the governor of his host: and Shaul lies in the route; and the people encamp all around him. Then David answers Achiy Melech the Hethiy and Abi Shai the son of Seruyah brother to Yah Ab and says, saying, Who descends with me to Shaul to the camp? And Abi Shai says, I descend with you.

10 11

So David and Abi Shai come to the people by night: and behold, Shaul lies sleeping within the route with his spear pierced in the earth at his headpieces: and Abi Ner and the people lie all around him. Then Abi Shai says to David, Elohim shuts your enemy into your hand this day: now let me smite him, I beseech you, with the spear even to the earth one time — and not a second time. And David says to Abi Shai, Ruin him not: for who may send his hand against the anointed of Yah Veh and be exonorated? David says, As Yah Veh lives, Yah Veh smites him; or his day comes to die; or he descends into war and is scraped away: far be it that I send my hand against the anointed of Yah Veh: but, I beseech you, take now the spear at his headpieces and the cruse of water; and we go.

And David takes the spear and the cruse of water from the headpieces of Shaul; and they go and no man sees it — neither knows nor wakens, for they all sleep; because a sound sleep from Yah Veh falls on them.

Then David passes over to the other side and stands on the top of a mountain afar off — a great place between them: and David calls to the people and to Abi Ner the son of Ner saying, Answer you not, Abi Ner?

Then Abi Ner answers and says, Who are you who calls to the sovereign? 15

And David says to Abi Ner, Are not you a man? Who in Yisra El likens to you? Why guard you not your adoni the sovereign? For one of the people came in to ruin the sovereign your adoni: this word you work is not good: Yah Veh lives — you are sons of death, because you guard not your adoni, the anointed of Yah Veh: and now see where the spear of the sovereign is and the cruse of water at his headpieces. And Shaul recognizes the voice of David and says, Is this your voice, my son David?

And David said, It is my voice, my lord adoni, O king sovereign. And he said, Wherefore doth my lord adoni thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done worked? or what evil is in mine hand? Now therefore, I pray beseech thee, let my lord adoni the king sovereign hear the words of his servant. If the L ORD Yah Veh have stirred goaded thee up against me, let him accept scent an offering: but if they be the children sons of men humanity, cursed be they before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh; for they have driven me out this day from abiding being scraped in the inheritance of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Go, serve other gods elohim. Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before at the face of the L ORD Yah Veh: for the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El is come out gone to seek a one flea, as when one doth hunt pursueth a partridge in the mountains. Then said Saul Shaul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will shall vilify thee no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious valued in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool follied, and have inadvertently erred exceedingly mightily abounding. And David answered and said, Behold the king's sovereign's spear! and let one of the young men lads come pass over and fetch take it. The L ORD render Yah Veh return to every man his righteousness justness and his faithfulness trustworthiness; for the L ORD Yah Veh delivered gave thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch willed to not send forth mine hand against the L ORD'S Yah Veh's anointed. And, behold, as thy life soul was much set by greatened this day in mine eyes, so let my life soul be much set by greatened in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and let him deliver rescue me out of all tribulation. Then Saul Shaul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: in working, thou shalt both do great things work, and in prevailing, also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul Shaul returned to his place. DAVID AND THE PELESHETHIY And David said in his heart, I shall now perish be scraped away one day by the hand of Saul Shaul: there is nothing naught better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines Peleshethiy; and Saul Shaul shall despair of me quit me, to seek me any more in any coast border of Israel Yisra El: so in escaping, shall I escape out of his hand. And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king sovereign of Gath. And David dwelt settled with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives women, Ahinoam Achiy Noam the Jezreelitess Yizre Eliyth, and Abigail Abi Gail the Carmelitess Karmeliyth, Nabal's wife woman. And it was told Saul Shaul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again added not to seek for him. And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace charism in thine eyes,

And David says, My voice, my adoni, O sovereign! 18 19

And then he says, Why this — my adoni pursuing his servant? What work I? What evil is in my hand? Now I beseech you, that my adoni the sovereign hear the words of his servant: If Yah Veh goads you against me, have him scent an offering: and if sons of humanity, cursed are they at the face of Yah Veh; for they drive me out this day from being scraped into the inheritance of Yah Veh, saying, Go, serve other elohim. And now, may my blood not fall to the earth at the face of Yah Veh: for the sovereign of Yisra El goes to seek one flea as one pursues a partridge in the mountains.

Then says Shaul, I sinned! Return, my son David, for I vilify you no more, because my soul is valued in your eyes this day: behold, I follied and inadvertently erred mighty aboundingly.

And David answers and says, Behold the spear of the sovereign! Pass one of the lads over and take it: and Yah Veh returns his justness and his trustworthiness to every man; for Yah Veh gave you into my hand today, but I willed to not send my hand against the anointed of Yah Veh: and behold, as your soul greatens this day in my eyes, so may my soul greaten in the eyes of Yah Veh; and rescue me from all tribulation.

Then Shaul says to David, Blessed — you, my son David: in working, work; and in prevailing, prevail. — and David goes his way and Shaul returns to his place. DAVID AND THE PELESHETHIY And David says in his heart, And now I become scraped away one day by the hand of Shaul: there is naught better for me than to speedily escape into the land of the Peleshethiy; so that Shaul quits seeking me any more in any border of Yisra El: and in escaping, I escape from his hand. And David rises and passes over with his six hundred men to Achish the son of Maoch the sovereign of Gath: and David settles with Achish at Gath — he and his men — every man with his household, David with his two women, Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth and Abi Gail the Karmeliyth — the woman of Nabal. And they tell Shaul that David flees to Gath: and he adds not to seek for him. And David says to Achish, If I now find charism in your eyes,

let them give me a place in some town in the country one of the cities of the field, that I may dwell settle there: for why should thy servant dwell settle in the royal sovereigndom city with thee? Then Achish gave him Ziklag Siqlag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth Siqlag becometh unto the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah unto this day. And the time number of days that David dwelt settled in the country field of the Philistines Peleshethiy was a full year of days and four months. And David and his men went up ascended, and invaded stripped the Geshurites Geshuriy, and the Gezrites Gezeriy, and the Amalekites Amaleqiy: for those nations were of old they were originally the inhabitants settlers of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt Misrayim. And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep flock, and the oxen, and the asses he burros, and the camels, and the apparel covering, and returned, and came to Achish. And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road stripped to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah Yah Hudah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites Yerachme Eliy, and against the south of the Kenites Qayiniy. And David saved let neither man nor woman alive live, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did worked David, and so will thus shall be his manner judgment all the while days he dwelleth settleth in the country field of the Philistines Peleshethiy. And Achish believed trusted David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; In stinking, he stinketh among his people Yisra El; therefore he shall be my servant for ever eternally. THE NECROMANCER OF EN DOR And so be it came to pass, in those days, that the Philistines Peleshethiy gathered their armies camps together for warfare hostility, to fight with Israel Yisra El. And Achish said unto David, In knowing, Know thou assuredly this that thou shalt go out with me to battle into the camp, thou and thy men. And David said to Achish, Surely Thus thou shalt know what thy servant can do work. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make I shall set thee keeper guard of mine head for ever all days. Now Samuel was dead Shemu El died, and all Israel had lamented Yisra El chopped over him, and buried entombed him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul Shaul had put away turned aside those that had familiar spirits the necromancers, and the wizards knowers, out of the land. And the Philistines Peleshethiy gathered themselves together, and came and pitched encamped in Shunem: and Saul Shaul gathered all Israel Yisra El together, and they pitched encamped in Gilboa. And when Saul Shaul saw the host camp of the Philistines Peleshethiy, he was afraid awed, and his heart greatly mightily trembled. And when Saul Shaul enquired asked of the L ORD Yah Veh, the L ORD Yah Veh answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then said Saul Shaul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit — a baalah, that I may go to her, and enquire of her.

give me a place in one of the cities of the field to settle there: for why settle your servant with you in the sovereigndom city? 6 7

Then that day Achish gives him Siqlag: so Siqlag becomes to the sovereigns of Yah Hudah to this day: and the number of days David settles in the field of the Peleshethiy is a full year of days and four months.

And David and his men ascend and strip the Geshuriy and the Gezeriy and the Amaleqiy: for they are originally the settlers of the land as you go to Shur to the land of Misrayim: and David smites the land and leaves neither man nor woman alive; and takes away the flock and the oxen and the he burros and the camels and the covering and returns and comes to Achish.

And Achish says, Where stripped you today?

And David says, Against the south of Yah Hudah and against the south of the Yerachme Eliy and against the south of the Qayiniy. And David lets neither man nor woman live to bring to Gath, saying, Lest they tell on us, saying, So worked David and thus be his judgment all the days he settles in the field of the Peleshethiy. And Achish trusts David, saying, In stinking, he stinks among his people Yisra El; so he becomes my servant eternally. THE NECROMANCER OF EN DOR And so be it, in those days, the Peleshethiy gather their camps for hostility, to fight Yisra El. And Achish says to David, In knowing, know this: that you go with me into the camp — you and your men.

And David says to Achish, Thus you know what your servant works. And Achish says to David, So I set you guard of my head all days.

And Shemu El dies and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Shaul turns aside the necromancers and the knowers from the land.

And the Peleshethiy gather and come and encamp in Shunem: and Shaul gathers all Yisra El and they encamp in Gilboa: and Shaul sees the camp of the Peleshethiy, and he awes and his heart trembles mightily.

And Shaul asks of Yah Veh, and Yah Veh answers him not — neither by dreams nor by Urim nor by prophets.

Then Shaul says to his servants, Seek me a woman — a baalah to go to and enquire of her.

And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit — a baalah at Endor En Dor. And Saul disguised himself Shaul searched, and put on enrobed other raiment clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray beseech thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit necromancer, and bring me him up ascend him to me, whom I shall name say unto thee. And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul Shaul hath done worked, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits the necromancers, and the wizards knowers, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life soul, to cause me to die deathify me? And Saul sware Shaul oathed to her by the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, there shall no punishment perversion happen to thee for this thing word. Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up ascend unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel Ascend Shemu El. And when the woman saw Samuel Shemu El, she cried with a loud great voice: and the woman spake said to Saul Shaul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul Shaul. And the king sovereign said unto her, Be not afraid awed: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul Shaul, I saw gods elohim ascending out of the earth. And he said unto her, What be his form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up ascendeth; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul Shaul perceived that it was Samuel Shemu El, and he stooped bowed with his face nostrils to the ground earth, and bowed prostrated himself. And Samuel Shemu El said to Saul Shaul, Why hast thou disquieted quivered me, to bring ascend me up? And Saul answered Shaul said, I am sore mighty distressed; for the Philistines make war Peleshethiy fight against me, and God Elohim is departed turned aside from me, and answereth me no more, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do work. Then said Samuel Shemu El, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the L ORD Yah Veh is departed turned aside from thee, and is become thine enemy? And the LORD Yah Veh hath done worked to him, as he spake worded by me my hand: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath rent ripped the kingdom sovereigndom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour friend, even to David: Because thou obeyedst heardest not the voice of the L ORD Yah Veh, nor executedst workedst his fierce fuming wrath upon Amalek Amaleq, therefore hath the L ORD Yah Veh done worked this thing word unto thee this day. Moreover the L ORD Yah Veh will shall also deliver Israel give Yisra El with thee into the hand of the Philistines Peleshethiy: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the L ORD Yah Veh also shall deliver give the host camp of Israel Yisra El into the hand of the Philistines Peleshethiy. Then Saul Shaul fell straightway hastily all the fulness of his stature along on the earth, and was sore afraid mightily awed,

And his servants say to him, Behold, a woman — a baalah at En Dor. 8

And Shaul searches and enrobes other clothes; and he goes with two men and they come to the woman by night. And he says, I beseech you, divine to me by the necromancer and ascend to me whom I say to you.

And the woman says to him, Behold, you know what Shaul works — how he cut off the necromancers and the knowers from the land. Why lay you a snare for my soul to deathify me?

And Shaul oaths to her by Yah Veh, saying, Yah Veh lives, no perversion happens to you for this word.

Then the woman says, Whom ascend I to you? And he says, Ascend Shemu El.

And the woman sees Shemu El, and cries with a great voice: and the woman says to Shaul, saying, Why deceive you me? You are Shaul.

And the sovereign says to her, Awe not! What see you? And the woman says to Shaul, I see elohim ascending from the earth.

And he says to her, What is his form? And she says, An old man ascends; and he covers with a mantle. And Shaul perceives it is Shemu El: and he bows with his nostrils to the earth and prostrates himself.

And Shemu El says to Shaul, Why quiver you me to ascend me? And Shaul says, I am mightily distressed; for the Peleshethiy fight me and Elohim turns aside from me and answers me no more — neither by the hand of prophets nor by dreams: so I call you, to have me know what to work.

Then says Shemu El, Why then ask you of me, seeing Yah Veh turns aside from you and becomes your enemy? And Yah Veh works to himself as he worded by my hand: for Yah Veh rips the sovereigndom from your hand and gives it to your friend — to David: because you neither hearkened to the voice of Yah Veh nor worked his fuming wrath on Amaleq: so Yah Veh works this word to you this day. Yes, Yah Veh also gives Yisra El with you into the hand of the Peleshethiy: and tomorrow you and your sons are with me: and Yah Veh gives the camp of Yisra El into the hand of the Peleshethiy.

because of the words of Samuel Shemu El: and there was no strength force in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night. And the woman came unto Saul Shaul, and saw that he was sore troubled mighty terrified, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid thy maid hath obeyed heard thy voice, and I have put set my life soul in my hand palm, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest wordest unto me. Now therefore, I pray beseech thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid thy maid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee at thy face; and eat, that thou mayest have strength force, when thou goest on thy way. But he refused, and said, I will shall not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled urged him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat settled upon the bed. And the woman had a fat calf calf of the stall in the house; and she hasted, and killed sacrificed it, and took flour, and kneaded, and did bake unleavened bread matsah thereof: And she brought it near before Saul at the face of Shaul, and before at the face of his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night. THE PELESHETHIY DISTRUST DAVID Now the Philistines Peleshethiy gathered together all their armies camps to Aphek Apheq: and the Israelites Yisra Eliy pitched encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel Yizre El. And the lords ringleaders of the Philistines Peleshethiy passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward afterward with Achish. Then said the princes governors of the Philistines Peleshethiy, What do be these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes governors of the Philistines Peleshethiy, Is not this David, the servant of Saul Shaul the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault naught in him since from the day he fell unto me away unto this day? And the princes governors of the Philistines Peleshethiy were wroth enraged with him; and the princes governors of the Philistines Peleshethiy said unto him, Make this fellow man return, that he may go again return to his place which thou hast appointed overseen for him, and let him not go down descend with us to battle war, lest in the battle war he be an adversary a satan to us: for wherewith should he reconcile satisfy himself unto his master adoni? should it not be with the heads of these men? Is not this David, of whom they sang answered one to another in round dances, saying, Saul slew Shaul smote his thousands, and David his ten thousands myriads? Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, thou hast been upright straight, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host camp is good in my sight eyes: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not in the eyes of the ringleaders thou art not good. Wherefore now return, and go in peace shalom, that thou displease not the lords work not evil in the eyes of the ringleaders of the Philistines Peleshethiy.

because of the words of Shemu El: and there is no force in him; for he had eaten no bread all day or all night. 21

And the woman comes to Shaul and sees he is mightily terrified; and says to him, Behold, your maid heard your voice and I set my soul in my palm and hearkened to the words you worded me. So now, I beseech you, you also hearken to the voice of your maid; and I set a morsel of bread at your face; and eat, so that you have force when you go on your way. But he refuses and says, I eat not. And his servants and the woman urge him; and he hearkens to their voice: so he rises from the earth and settles on the bed. And the woman has a calf of the stall in the house; and she hastens and sacrifices; and takes flour and kneads and bakes matsah thereof: and she brings it near the face of Shaul and the face of his servants; and they eat. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they rise and go away that night. THE PELESHETHIY DISTRUST DAVID And the Peleshethiy gather all their camps to Apheq; and the Yisra Eliy encamp by a fountain in Yizre El: and the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy pass on by hundreds and by thousands; and David and his men pass on afterward with Achish. And the governors of the Peleshethiy say, What are these Hebrews? And Achish says to the governors of the Peleshethiy, Is this not David the servant of Shaul the sovereign of Yisra El, who became with me these days or these years; and I found naught in him from the day he fell away to this day?

And the governors of the Peleshethiy rage against him; and the governors of the Peleshethiy say to him, Return this man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; return him to the place you oversee for him that he not descend with us to war; lest in the war he becomes a satan to us. How satisfies he his adoni? Is it not with the heads of these men? Is not this David, of whom they answer one another in round dances saying, Shaul smites his thousands and David his myriads? Then Achish calls David and says to him, Surely, Yah Veh lives, you are straight: your going out and your coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes: for I find no evil in you since the day of your coming to me to this day: but in the eyes of the ringleaders you are not good: and now, return and go in shalom, that you not work evil in the eyes of the ringleaders of the Peleshethiy.

And now start early in the morning with the servants of your adoni who came with you: and as soon as you start early in the morning, and have light, go.

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done worked? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long from the day as I have been with thee at thy face unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord adoni the king sovereign? And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight eyes, as an angel of God Elohim: notwithstanding the princes governors of the Philistines Peleshethiy have said, He shall not go up ascend with us to the battle war. Wherefore now rise up start early in the morning with thy master's adoni's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up start early in the morning, and have light, depart go. So David and his men rose up started early to depart go in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines Peleshethiy. And the Philistines Peleshethiy went up ascended to Jezreel Yizre El. DAVID DESTROYS THE AMALEQIY And so be it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag Siqlag on the third day, that the Amalekites Amaleqiy had invaded stripped the south, and Ziklag Siqlag, and smitten Ziklag Siqlag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any deathified no man, either great or small, but carried drove them away, and went on their way. So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives women, and their sons, and their daughters were taken captives captured. Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power force to weep. And David's two wives women were taken captives captured, Ahinoam Achiy Noam the Jezreelitess Yizre Eliyth, and Abigail Abi Gail the wife woman of Nabal the Carmelite Karmeliy. And David was greatly distressed mighty depressed; for the people spake said of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved embittered, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged strengthened himself in the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim. And David said to Abiathar Abi Athar the priest, Ahimelech's Achiy Melech's son, I pray beseech thee, bring me hither near the ephod. And Abiathar Abi Athar brought thither near the ephod to David. And David enquired asked at the LORD Yah Veh, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered said to him, Pursue: for in overtaking, thou shalt surely overtake them, and in rescuing, without fail recover all rescue. So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook wadi Besor, where those that were left behind remained stayed. But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode stayed behind, which were so faint exhausted that they could not go pass over the brook wadi Besor. And they found an Egyptian a man — a Misrayim in the field, and brought took him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water; And they gave him a piece slice of a cake lump of figs, and two clusters of raisins raisincakes: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again returned to him:

DAVID DESTROYS THE AMALEQIY And so be it, on the third day, David and his men come to Siqlag: and the Amaleqiy strip the south and Siqlag and smite Siqlag and burn it with fire and capture the women therein: they deathify no man, either great or small, but drive them away and go on their way. And David and his men come to the city, and behold, it is burned with fire; and their women and their sons and their daughters are captured. And David and the people with him lift their voice and weep, until they have no more force to weep: for they had captured the two women of David — Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth and Abi Gail the woman of Nabal the Karmeliy: and David is mighty depressed; for the people say of stoning him, because the soul of all the people embitters — every man for his sons and for his daughters. And David strengthens in Yah Veh his Elohim; and David says to Abi Athar the priest the son of Achiy Melech, I beseech you, bring near the ephod. — and Abi Athar brings near the ephod to David. And David asks at Yah Veh, saying, Pursue I after this troop? Overtake them? And he says to him, Pursue! In overtaking, overtake! And in rescuing, rescue!

And David goes — he with his six hundred men and comes to the wadi Besor, and those remaining, stay: and David pursues — he and four hundred men: for two hundred stay behind — too exhausted to pass over the wadi Besor. And they find a man — a Misrayim in the field and take him to David; and give him bread and he eats; and they have him drink water; and they give him a slice of a lump of figs and two raisincakes: and he eats, and his spirit returns to him:

for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. And David said unto him, To whom belongest be thou? and whence art be thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt lad — a Misrayim, servant to a man, an Amalekite Amaleqiy; and my master adoni left me, because three days agone I fell sick. We made an invasion upon stripped the south of the Cherethites Kerethiy, and upon the coast which belongeth be to Judah Yah Hudah, and upon the south of Caleb Kaleb; and we burned Ziklag Siqlag with fire. And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company troop? And he said, Swear Oath unto me by God Elohim, that thou wilt shalt neither kill deathify me, nor deliver shut me into the hands of my master adoni, and I will bring shall descend thee down to this company troop. And when he had brought descended him down, behold, they were spread abroad dispersed upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing celebrating, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines Peleshethiy, and out of the land of Judah Yah Hudah. And David smote them from the twilight evening breeze even unto the evening of the next day morrow: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men lads, which rode upon camels, and fled. And David recovered rescued all that the Amalekites Amaleqiy had carried away taken: and David rescued his two wives women. And there was nothing naught lacking to them, neither from small nor to great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing aught that they had taken to them: David recovered returned all. And David took all the flocks and the herds oxen, which they drave before at the face of those other cattle chattel, and said, This is David's spoil. And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint exhausted that they could not follow go with David, whom they had made also to abide settled at the brook wadi Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted asked them of shalom. Then answered all the wicked evil men and men of Belial of Beli Yaal, of those men that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will shall not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered rescued, save to every man his wife woman and his children sons, that they may lead drive them away, and depart go. Then said David, Ye shall not do so work thus, my brethren, with that which the L ORD Yah Veh hath given us, who hath preserved guarded us, and delivered given the company troop that came against us into our hand. For who will shall hearken unto you in this matter word? but as his part allotment is that goeth down descendeth to the battle war, so thus shall his part allotment be that tarrieth settleth by the stuff his instruments: they shall part alike allot unitedly. And it was so thus it became from that day forward and onward,

for he had neither eaten bread nor drank water three days and three nights. 13

And David says to him, Whose are you? Whence are you? And he says, I am a lad — a Misrayim; servant to a man, an Amaleqiy; and my adoni leaves me, because three days ago, I fell sick. We stripped the south of the Kerethiy and against that which is to Yah Hudah; and on the south of Kaleb; and we burned Siqlag with fire. And David says to him, Bring you me down to this troop? And he says, Oath to me by Elohim, that you neither deathify me nor shut me into the hands of my adoni — and I descend you to this troop.

And he descends him, and behold, they disperse upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking and celebrating, because of all the great spoil they took from the land of the Peleshethiy and from the land of Yah Hudah.

And David smites them from the evening breeze to the evening of the morrow: and not a man of them escapes except four hundred lads flee riding on camels.

And David rescues all that the Amaleqiy took: and David rescues his two women: and they lack naught — from small to great; neither sons nor daughters; neither spoil nor aught they took to them: David returns all: and David takes all the flocks and the oxen, which they drove at the face of those chattel and says, This is the spoil for David.

And David comes to the two hundred men who were too exhausted to go with David, whom they settled at the wadi Besor: and they go to meet David and to meet the people with him: and David comes near to the people, and he asks shalom of them.

And all the evil men of Beli Yaal, of those men who went with David, answer and say, Because they went not with us, we give them naught of the spoil we rescued, except to every man his woman and his sons to drive them away and go.

And David says, Work not thus, my brothers, with what Yah Veh gives us, who guards us from the troop that come against us and gives them into our hand. And who hearkens to you in this word? but as his allotment, who descends to the war, thus his allotment, who settles by his instruments — they allot unitedly. — and so be it, from that day and onward,

that he made set it a statute and an ordinance a judgment for Israel Yisra El unto this day. And when David came to Ziklag Siqlag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah Yah Hudah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present blessing for you of the spoil of the enemies of the L ORD Yah Veh; To them which were in Bethel Beth El, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir Yattir, And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa, And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites Yerachme Eliy, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites Qayiniy, And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan Kor Ashan, and to them which were in Athach, And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt had walked. THE DEATH OF SHAUL Now the Philistines Peleshethiy fought against Israel Yisra El: and the men of Israel Yisra El fled from before the face of the Philistines Peleshethiy, and fell down slain pierced in mount Gilboa. And the Philistines Peleshethiy followed hard adhered upon Saul Shaul and upon his sons; and the Philistines Peleshethiy slew Jonathan smote Yah Nathan, and Abinadab Abi Nadab, and Melchishua Malki Shua, Saul's Shaul's sons. And the battle went sore war was heavy against Saul Shaul, and the archers hit men bow shooters found him; and he was sore wounded mighty writhed of the archers shooters. Then said Saul Shaul unto his armourbearer instrument bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust stab me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust stab me through, and abuse exploit me. But his armourbearer would instrument bearer willed not; for he was sore afraid mighty awed. Therefore Saul Shaul took a sword, and fell upon it. And when his armourbearer instrument bearer saw that Saul was dead Shaul had died, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him. So Saul Shaul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer instrument bearer, and all his men, that same day together. And when the men of Israel Yisra El that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan Yarden, saw that the men of Israel Yisra El fled, and that Saul Shaul and his sons were dead had died, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines Peleshethiy came and dwelt settled in them. And so be it came to pass, on the morrow, when the Philistines Peleshethiy came to strip the slain pierced, that they found Saul Shaul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour instruments, and sent into the land of the Philistines Peleshethiy round about, to publish evangelize it in the house of their idols, and among the people. And they put set his armour instruments in the house of Ashtaroth:

that he set it a statute and a judgment for Yisra El to this day. 26

And David comes to Siqlag, and he sends of the spoil to the elders of Yah Hudah — to his friends, saying, Behold, a blessing for you of the spoil of the enemies of Yah Veh: to them in Beth El and to them in south Ramoth and to them in Yattir and to them in Aroer and to them in Siphmoth and to them in Eshtemoa and to them in Rachal and to them in the cities of the Yerachme Eliy and to them in the cities of the Qayiniy and to them in Hormah and to them in Kor Ashan and to them in Athach and to them in Hebron and to all the places where David himself and his men walked. THE DEATH OF SHAUL And the Peleshethiy fight Yisra El: and the men of Yisra El flee the face of the Peleshethiy and fall pierced in mount Gilboa: and the Peleshethiy adhere to Shaul and his sons; and the Peleshethiy smite Yah Nathan and Abi Nadab and Malki Shua — sons of Shaul: and the war is heavy against Shaul and the bow shooter men find him; and he is mighty writhed by the shooters. And Shaul says to his instrument bearer, Draw your sword and stab me; lest these uncircumcised come and stab me and exploit me. But his instrument bearer wills not; for he awes mightily: and Shaul takes a sword and falls on it: and his instrument bearer sees Shaul die, and he likewise falls on his sword and dies with him. And Shaul dies — and his three sons and his instrument bearer and all his men that same day together. And the men of Yisra El beyond the valley and beyond Yarden see the men of Yisra El flee, and Shaul and his sons die, they forsake their cities and flee; and the Peleshethiy come and settle in them. And so be it, on the morrow, when the Peleshethiy come to strip the pierced, they find Shaul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa: and they cut off his head and strip off his instruments and send them all around into the land of the Peleshethiy — to evangelize it in the house of their idols and among their people.

DAVID HEARS OF THE DEATH OF SHAUL Now And so be it came to pass, after the death of Saul Shaul, when David was returned from the slaughter smiting of the Amalekites Amaleqiy, and David had abode settled two days in Ziklag Siqlag; It came even to pass became, on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul Shaul with his clothes rent ripped, and earth soil upon his head: and so it was became, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance prostrated. And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel Yisra El am I escaped. And David said unto him, How went the matter word? I pray beseech thee, tell me. And he answered said, That the people are fled from the battle war, and many an abounding of the people also are fallen and dead die; and Saul Shaul and Jonathan Yah Nathan his son are dead have died also. And David said unto the young man lad that told him, How knowest thou that Saul Shaul and Jonathan Yah Nathan his son be dead have died? And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance In meeting, as I met upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul Shaul leaned upon his spear; and, lo behold, the chariots and horsemen masters of the cavalry followed hard adhered after him. And when he looked faced behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered said, Here am I. And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered said to him, I am an Amalekite Amaleqiy. He said unto me again, Stand, I pray beseech thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon my embroidered mail possesseth me, because my life soul is yet whole in me. So I stood upon him, and slew deathified him, because I was sure knew that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown separatism that was upon his head, and the bracelet anklet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord adoni. Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent ripped them; and likewise all the men that were with him: And they mourned chopped, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul Shaul, and for Jonathan Yah Nathan his son, and for the people of the L ORD Yah Veh, and for the house of Israel Yisra El; because they were fallen by the sword. And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered said, I am the son of a stranger man, a sojourner, an Amalekite Amaleqiy. And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid awed to stretch send forth thine hand to destroy the L ORD'S ruin Yah Veh's anointed? And David called one of the young men lads, and said, Go near, and fall encounter upon him. And he smote him that he died. And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified answered against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S deathified Yah Veh's anointed.

DAVID HEARS OF THE DEATH OF SHAUL And so be it, after the death of Shaul, David returns from the smiting of the Amaleqiy and David settles two days in Siqlag: and so be it, on the third day, behold, a man comes from the camp of Shaul with his clothes ripped and soil on his head: and so be it, he comes to David and falls to the earth and prostrates. And David says to him, Whence come you? And he says to him, I escape from the camp of Yisra El.

And David says to him, How goes the word? I beseech you, tell me. And he says, The people flee the war and also an abundance of the people fall and die; and Shaul and Yah Nathan his son also die.

And David says to the lad who tells him, How know you that Shaul and Yah Nathan his son die?

And the young man tells him saying, In meeting, as I meet on mount Gilboa, behold, Shaul leans on his spear; and behold, the chariots and masters of the cavalry adhere after him.

And he faces behind him and he sees me and calls to me. And I say, Here — I.

And he says to me, Who are you? And I say to him, I am an Amaleqiy.

11 12

And he says to me, Stand, I beseech you, over me and slay me: for my embroidered mail possesses me, because my soul is yet whole in me. — and I stand over him and deathify him, because I know he lives not after he falls: and I take the separatism on his head and the anklet on his arm and bring them here to my adoni. And David holds his clothes and rips them; and also all the men with him: and they chop and weep and fast until evening for Shaul and for Yah Nathan his son and for the people of Yah Veh and for the house of Yisra El; because they fall by the sword. And David says to the young man who tells him, Whence are you? And he says, I am the son of a man — a sojourner — an Amaleqiy.

And David says to him, How is it you awed not to send your hand to ruin the anointed of Yah Veh?

And David calls one of the lads and says, Go near, encounter on him. — and he smites him so that he dies.

And David says to him, Your blood is on your head; for your mouth answers against you, saying, I deathified the anointed of Yah Veh.

Apocalypse 20:12

The splendor of Yisra El is pierced on your bamahs: how the mighty fall!

Neither tell in Gath, nor evangelize in the outskirts of Ashqelon; lest the daughters of the Peleshethiy cheer, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised jump for joy.

You mountains of Gilboa, — neither dew nor rain be on you nor fields of exaltments: for there the buckler of the mighty loaths — the buckler of Shaul as not anointed with oil.

From the blood of the pierced from the fat of the mighty neither the bow of Yah Nathan retreats nor the sword of Shaul returns empty.

Shaul and Yah Nathan — lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they separate not: — swifter than eagles, they prevail mightily over lions.

You daughters of Yisra El, weep over Shaul, who enrobes you in scarlet with pleasures; who ascends ornaments of gold on your robe.

How the mighty fall midst the war! O Yah Nathan, you — pierced in your bamahs. I distress for you, my brother Yah Nathan: mighty pleasing are you to me: marvellous your love to me surpassing the love of women.

Apocalypse 20:12

19 20

The beauty splendour of Israel Yisra El is slain pierced upon thy high places bamahs: how are the mighty fallen! Tell it not in Gath, publish evangelize it not in the streets outskirts of Askelon Ashqelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines Peleshethiy rejoice cheer, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph jump for joy. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no — neither dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings exaltments: for there the shield buckler of the mighty is vilely cast away loatheth, the shield buckler of Saul Shaul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. From the blood of the slain pierced, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan Yah Nathan turned retreated not back, and the sword of Saul Shaul returned not empty. Saul Shaul and Jonathan Yah Nathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided separated: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than prevailed mightily over lions. Ye daughters of Israel Yisra El, weep over Saul Shaul, who clothed enrobed you in scarlet, with other delights pleasures, who put on ascended ornaments of gold upon your apparel robe. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle war! O Jonathan Yah Nathan, thou wast slain pierced in thine high places thy bamahs. I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan Yah Nathan: very pleasant mighty pleasing hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful marvellous, passing surpassing the love of women. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons instruments of war perished destructed! DAVID ANOINTED SOVEREIGN And so be it came to pass, after this, that David enquired asked of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Shall I go up ascend into any one of the cities of Judah Yah Hudah? And the LORD Yah Veh said unto him, Go up Ascend. And David said, Whither shall I go up ascend? And he said, Unto Hebron. So David went up ascended thither, and his two wives women also, Ahinoam Achiy Noam the Jezreelitess Yizre Eliyth, and Abigail Abi Gail Nabal's wife woman the Carmelite Karmeliy. And his men that were with him did David bring up ascend, every man with his household: and they dwelt settled in the cities of Hebron. And the men of Judah Yah Hudah came, and there they anointed David king sovereign over the house of Judah Yah Hudah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead Yabesh Gilad were they that buried Saul entombed Shaul.

THE LAMENTATION OF DAVID And David laments this lamentation over Shaul and over Yah Nathan his son: and he says to teach the sons of Yah Hudah the bow: Behold, it is inscribed in the scroll of the straight:

How the mighty fall and the instruments of war destruct! DAVID ANOINTED SOVEREIGN And so be it, after this, David asks of Yah Veh, saying, Ascend I into one of the cities of Yah Hudah? And Yah Veh says to him, Ascend. And David says, Whither ascend I? And he says, To Hebron.

So David ascends thither and also his two women, Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth and the woman of Abi Gail, Nabal the Karmeliy: and David ascends with his men — every man with his household; and they settle in the cities of Hebron: and the men of Yah Hudah come and there they anoint David sovereign over the house of Yah Hudah. And they tell David, saying, The men of Yabesh Gilad entombed Shaul.

THE SON OF SHAUL REIGNS OVER YISRA EL But Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, captain governor of Saul's Shaul's host, took Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth the son of Saul Shaul, and brought passed him over to Mahanaim Machanayim; And made caused him king to reign over Gilead Gilad, and over the Ashurites Ashshuriy, and over Jezreel Yizre El, and over Ephraim Ephrayim, and over Benjamin Ben Yamin, and over all Israel Yisra El. Ishbosheth Saul's Ish Bosheth Shaul's son was a son of forty years old when he began to reign over Israel Yisra El, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah Yah Hudah followed went after David. And the time number of days that David was king sovereign in Hebron over the house of Judah Yah Hudah was seven years and six months. CIVIL WAR And Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth the son of Saul Shaul, went out from Mahanaim Machanayim to Gibeon Gibon. And Joab Yah Ab the son of Zeruiah Seruyah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon Gibon: and they sat down settled, the one on the one side of the pool by the pool here, and the other one on the other side of the pool by the pool there. And Abner Abi Ner said to Joab Yah Ab, Let the young men lads now arise, and play before us entertain at our face. And Joab Yah Ab said, Let them arise. Then there arose and went passed over by number twelve of Benjamin Ben Yamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth of Ish Bosheth the son of Saul Shaul, and twelve of the servants of David. And they caught every one each man held his fellow friend by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's friend's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim Helgath Hats Surim, which is in Gibeon Gibon. And there was a very sore battle mighty hard war that day; and Abner Abi Ner was beaten smitten, and the men of Israel Yisra El, before at the face of the servants of David. And there were three sons of Zeruiah Seruyah there, Joab Yah Ab, and Abishai Abi Shai, and Asahel Asa El: and Asahel Asa El was as light swift of foot as a wild roe one of the gazelles in the field. And Asahel Asa El pursued after Abner Abi Ner; and in going he turned spread not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner after Abi Ner.

Then Abner looked Abi Ner faced behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel Asa El? And he answered said, I am. And Abner Abi Ner said to him, Turn thee aside Spread to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men lads, and take thee his armour clothes. But Asahel would Asa El willed to not turn aside from following of after him. And Abner Abi Ner said again added to say to Asahel Asa El, Turn thee aside from following after me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground earth? how then should I hold up lift my face to Joab Yah Ab thy brother? Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner Abi Ner with the hinder end back of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out went behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place under it: and so be it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel Asa El fell down and died stood still. Joab Yah Ab also and Abishai Abi Shai pursued after Abner Abi Ner: and the sun went down descended when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah at the face of Giach by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon Gibon. And the children sons of Benjamin Ben Yamin gathered themselves together after Abner Abi Ner, and became one troop band, and stood on the top of an one hill. Then Abner Abi Ner called to Joab Yah Ab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever in perpetuity? knowest thou not that it will shall be bitterness bitter in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid say to the people return from following after their brethren? And Joab Yah Ab said, As God Elohim liveth, unless thou hadst spoken worded, surely then in the morning the people had gone up ascended every one each man from following after his brother. So Joab blew Yah Ab blast a trumpet shophar, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel Yisra El no more, neither fought they any more added they yet to fight. And Abner Abi Ner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan Yarden, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim Machanayim. And Joab Yah Ab returned from following Abner after Abi Ner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked mustered of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel Asa El. But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin Ben Yamin, and of Abner's Abi Ner's men, so that three hundred and threescore sixty men died. And they took up Asahel lifted Asa El, and buried entombed him in the sepulchre tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem Beth Lechem. And Joab Yah Ab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day light. THE HOUSE OF DAVID STRENGTHENED Now there was long war between the house of Saul Shaul and between the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger walked on strengthened, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker walked on poor. DAVID BIRTHS SONS And unto David were sons born birthed in Hebron:

Then Abi Ner faces back and says, Are you Asa El? And he says, I.

And Abi Ner says to him, Spread to your right or to your left and hold on to one of the lads and take his clothes. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Asa El wills to not turn aside from after him.

And Abi Ner adds to say to Asa El, Turn aside from after me! Why smite I you to the earth? How then lift I my face to Yah Ab your brother?

And he refuses to turn aside: and Abi Ner smites him under the fifth with the back of the spear so that the spear goes out behind him; and there he falls and dies under it: and so be it, all who come to the place where Asa El falls and dies stand still: and Yah Ab and Abi Shai pursue Abi Ner: and the sun descends and they come to the hill of Ammah at the face of Giach by the way of the wilderness of Gibon: and the sons of Ben Yamin gather themselves together after Abi Ner and become one band and stand on the top of one hill.

And Abi Ner calls to Yah Ab and says, The sword â&#x20AC;&#x201D; devours it in perpetuity? Know you not that it embitters in the latter end? How long be it then, ere you say to the people to return from after their brothers?

And Yah Ab says, Elohim lives: unless you had worded, surely then in the morning the people had ascended each man from after his brother.

So Yah Ab blasts a shophar and all the people stand still; and neither pursue Yisra El any more, nor add still to fight: and Abi Ner and his men walk all that night through the plain and pass over Yarden and go through all Bithron and come to Machanayim.

And Yah Ab returns from after Abi Ner: and when he gathers all the people there are mustered, of the servants of David, nineteen men and Asa El: and the servants of David smite of Ben Yamin and of the men of Abi Ner so that three hundred and sixty men die. And they lift Asa El and entomb him in the tomb of his father in Beth Lechem. And Yah Ab and his men go all night and come to Hebron at light. THE HOUSE OF DAVID STRENGTHENS And the war is long between the house of Shaul and between the house of David: and David walks on strengthened and the house of Saul walks on poor. DAVID BIRTHS SONS And to David sons are birthed in Hebron:

and his firstborn firstbirthed was Amnon, of Ahinoam Achiy Noam the Jezreelitess Yizre Eliyth; And his second, Chileab Kil Ab, of Abigail Abi Gail the wife woman of Nabal the Carmelite Karmeliy; and the third, Absalom Abi Shalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king Talmay sovereign of Geshur; And the fourth, Adonijah Adoni Yah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah Shaphat Yah the son of Abital Abi Tal; And the sixth, Ithream Yithre Am, by Eglah David's wife woman. These were born birthed to David in Hebron. ABI NER UNITES WITH DAVID And so be it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul Shaul and between the house of David, that Abner made Abi Ner strengthened himself strong for the house of Saul Shaul. And Saul Shaul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah Rispah, the daughter of Aiah Ajah: and Ishbosheth he said to Abner Abi Ner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine? Then was Abner very wroth Abi Ner mighty inflamed for the words of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah Yah Hudah do shew kindness worketh mercy this day unto the house of Saul Shaul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends companions, and have not delivered presented thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest visitest me to day with a fault perversion concerning this woman? So do God work Elohim to Abner Abi Ner, and more add also, except, as the L ORD Yah Veh hath sworn oathed to David, even so I do work to him; To translate pass over the kingdom sovereigndom from the house of Saul Shaul, and to set up raise the throne of David over Israel Yisra El and over Judah Yah Hudah, from Dan even to Beersheba Beer Sheba. And he could not answer Abner return Abi Ner a word again, because he feared awed him. And Abner Abi Ner sent messengers angels to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make Cut thy league covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring turn about all Israel Yisra El unto thee. And he said, Well Good; I will make shall cut a league covenant with thee: but one thing word I require ask of thee, that is saying, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's Shaul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face. And David sent messengers angels to Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth, Saul's Shaul's son, saying, Deliver Give me my wife woman Michal, which I espoused betrothed to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines Peleshethiy. And Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth sent, and took her from her husband man, even from Phaltiel Phalti El the son of Laish Lush. And her husband man went with her along walking and weeping behind her to Bahurim Bachurim. Then said Abner Abi Ner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. And Abner Abi Ner had communication word with the elders of Israel Yisra El, saying, Ye sought for David in times past three yesters ago to be king sovereign over you: Now then do work it:

and his firstbirthed: Amnon of Achiy Noam the Yizre Eliyth; and his second: Kil Ab of Abi Gail the woman of Nabal the Karmeliy; and the third: Abi Shalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmay sovereign of Geshur; and the fourth: Adoni Yah the son of Haggith; and the fifth: Shaphat Yah the son of Abi Tal; and the sixth: Yithre Am of Eglah, the woman of David: these were birthed to David in Hebron. ABI NER UNITES WITH DAVID And so be it, war becomes between the house of Shaul and between the house of David; and Abi Ner strengthens himself for the house of Shaul.

And Shaul has a concubine; her name is Rispah the daughter of Ajah: and he says to Abi Ner, Why go you in the concubine of my father?

And Abi Ner inflames mightily for the words of Ish Bosheth and says, Am I the head of a dog because I work Yah Hudah mercy this day — to the house of Shaul your father and to his brothers and to his companions and present you not into the hand of David for visiting me today with a perversion concerning this woman?

O that Elohim work thus to Abi Ner, and add also; except, as Yah Veh oathed to David, even thus work I to him — to pass the sovereigndom from the house of Shaul and to raise the throne of David over Yisra El and over Yah Hudah from Dan even to Beer Sheba. — and he cannot return Abi Ner a word because he awes him.

11 12

And Abi Ner sends angels to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? Saying, Cut your covenant with me and behold, my hand is with you, to turn all Yisra El around to you.

And he says, Good; I cut a covenant with you: only, I ask one word of you, saying, You not see my face, unless you first bring Michal the daughter of Shaul when you come to see my face.

And David sends angels to Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul, saying, Give me my woman Michal whom I betrothed to me for a hundred foreskins of the Peleshethiy.

And Ish Bosheth sends and takes her from her man — from Phalti El the son of Lush: and her man goes with her walking and weeping behind her to Bachurim.

And Abi Ner says to him, Go, return. — and he returns. 17 18

And Abi Ner words with the elders of Yisra El, saying, Three yesters ago you sought David to be sovereign over you: and now work it:

for the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken said of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will shall save my people Israel Yisra El out of the hand of the Philistines Peleshethiy, and out of the hand of all their enemies. And Abner Abi Ner also spake worded in the ears of Benjamin Ben Yamin: and Abner Abi Ner went also to speak word in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel in the eyes of Yisra El, and that seemed good to in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin Ben Yamin. So Abner Abi Ner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner worked Abi Ner and the men that were with him a feast banquet. And Abner Abi Ner said unto David, I will shall arise and go, and will shall gather all Israel Yisra El unto my lord adoni the king sovereign, that they may make cut a league covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart thy soul desireth. And David sent Abner Abi Ner away; and he went in peace shalom. YAH AB DEATHIFIES ABI NER And, behold, the servants of David and Joab Yah Ab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner Abi Ner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace shalom. When Joab Yah Ab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab Yah Ab, saying, Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner came to the king sovereign, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace shalom. Then Joab Yah Ab came to the king sovereign, and said, What hast thou done worked? behold, Abner Abi Ner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone in walking, he hath walked away? Thou knowest Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive entice thee, and to know thy going out rising and thy coming in entering, and to know all that thou doest workest. And when Joab Yah Ab was come out went from David, he sent messengers angels after Abner Abi Ner, which brought turned him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not. And when Abner Abi Ner was returned to Hebron, Joab took Yah Ab turned him aside in the gate midst of the portal to speak word with him quietly serenely, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel Asa El his brother. And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom sovereigndom are guiltless innocent before the L ORD for ever at the face of Yah Veh eternally from the blood of Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner: Let it rest It waiteth on the head of Joab Yah Ab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail be cut off from the house of Joab Yah Ab one that hath an issue floweth, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on holdeth a staff crutch, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. So Joab Yah Ab, and Abishai Abi Shai his brother slew Abner slaughtered Abi Ner, because he had slain deathified their brother Asahel Asa El at Gibeon Gibon in the battle war. And David said to Joab Yah Ab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend Rip your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth saq,

for Yah Veh says of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I save my people Yisra El from the hand of the Peleshethiy, and from the hand of all their enemies. 19

And Abi Ner also words in the ears of Ben Yamin: and Abi Ner also goes to word in the ears of David in Hebron all that seems good in the eyes of Yisra El, and seems good in the eyes of the whole house of Ben Yamin.

And Abi Ner comes to David to Hebron with twenty men: and David works a banquet to Abi Ner and the men with him.

And Abi Ner says to David, I rise and go, and gather all Yisra El to my adoni the sovereign to cut a covenant with you to reign over all your soul desires. — and David sends Abi Ner away; and he goes in shalom.

YAH AB DEATHIFIES ABI NER And, behold, the servants of David and Yah Ab come from the troop and bring in a great spoil with them: and Abi Ner is not with David in Hebron; for he sends him away and he goes in shalom.

And Yah Ab and all the host with him come and tell Yah Ab, saying, Abi Ner the son of Ner came to the sovereign, and he sent him away, and he goes in shalom.

And Yah Ab comes to the sovereign, and says, What work you? Behold, Abi Ner came to you. Why sent you him away — in walking, to walk away? You know Abi Ner the son of Ner came to entice thee — to know your rising and your entering, — to know all you work.

And Yah Ab goes from David and sends angels after Abi Ner who turn him from the well of Sirah: and David knows it not.

And Abi Ner returns to Hebron and Yah Ab turns him aside midst the portal to word with him serenely; and smites him under the fifth, so that he dies for the blood of Asa El his brother.

And afterward, David hears, and he says, I and my sovereigndom are eternally innocent at the face of Yah Veh from the blood of Abi Ner the son of Ner: it awaits on the head of Yah Ab and on all the house of his father; that there not be cut off from the house of Yah Ab one who flows or is a leper or who holds a crutch or who falls on the sword or who lacks bread.

And Yah Ab and Abi Shai his brother slaughter Abi Ner, because he deathified their brother Asa El at Gibon in the war.

And David says to Yah Ab and to all the people with him, Rip your clothes and gird with saq;

and mourn before Abner chop at the face of Abi Ner. And king sovereign David himself followed the bier walked after the bed. And they buried Abner entombed Abi Ner in Hebron: and the king sovereign lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave tomb of Abner Abi Ner; and all the people wept. And the king sovereign lamented over Abner Abi Ner, and said, Died as a fool dieth Abner Dieth Abi Ner the death of a fool? Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters approached copper: as a man falleth before at the face of wicked men sons, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again added to weep over him. And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat chew bread while it was yet still day, David sware oathed, saying, So do God Thus work Elohim to me, and more may add also, if I taste bread, or ought else at all, till the face of the sun be down. And all the people took notice of recognized it, and it pleased them was good in their eyes: as whatsoever the king did sovereign worked pleased was good in the eyes of all the people. For all the people and all Israel Yisra El understood knew that day that it was not of the king sovereign to slay Abner deathify Abi Ner the son of Ner. And the king sovereign said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince governor and a great man fallen this day in Israel Yisra El? And I am this day weak tender, though anointed king sovereign; and these men the sons of Zeruiah Seruyah be too hard for me: the L ORD Yah Veh shall reward shalam the doer worker of evil according to his wickedness evil. I SH BOSHETH IS DEATHIFIED And when Saul's Shaul's son heard that Abner was dead Abi Ner died in Hebron, his hands were feeble slackened, and all the Israelites Yisra Eliy were troubled terrified. And Saul's Shaul's son had two men that were captains governors of bands troops: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other second Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite Beerothiy, of the children sons of Benjamin Ben Yamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned fabricated to Benjamin Ben Yamin. And the Beerothites Beerothiy fled to Gittaim Gittayim, and were sojourners there until this day.) And Jonathan Yah Nathan, Saul's Shaul's son, had a son that was lame smitten of his feet. He was a son of five years old when the tidings reports came of Saul Shaul and Jonathan Yah Nathan out of Jezreel Yizre El, and his nurse took foster lifted him up, and fled: and so be it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame limped. And his name was Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth. And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite Beerothiy, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon. And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched should take wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped. For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew deathified him,

and chop at the face of Abi Ner. 32

33 34

And sovereign David walks after the bed: and they entomb Abi Ner in Hebron: and the sovereign lifts his voice and weeps at the tomb of Abi Ner; and all the people weep. And the sovereign laments over Abi Ner, and says, Abi Ner — dies he the death of a fool? Neither with hands bound nor feet approaching copper — as a man fallen at the face of wicked sons, you fall. — and all the people add to weep over him.

And all the people come to have David chew bread while it is still day, and David oaths, saying, Thus work Elohim to me, and add also, if I taste bread or aught at all, until the face of the sun downs.

And all the people recognize and it is good in their eyes: that whatever the sovereign works is good in the eyes of all the people. And that day, all the people and all Yisra El know it was not of the sovereign to deathify Abi Ner the son of Ner.

And the sovereign says to his servants, Know you not that a governor and a great man is fallen this day in Yisra El? And this day I am tender, though anointed sovereign; and these men — the sons of Seruyah are too hard for me: Yah Veh shalams the worker of evil according to his evil. I SH BOSHETH IS DEATHIFIED And when the son of Shaul hears that Abi Ner dies in Hebron, his hands slacken, and all the Yisra Eliy terrify. And the son of Shaul has two men — governors of troops: the name of the one, Baanah and the name of the second, Rechab the sons of Rimmon a Beerothiy of the sons of Ben Yamin: for Beeroth is also fabricated to Ben Yamin. And the Beerothiy flee to Gittayim, and are sojourners there until this day. And Yah Nathan, the son of Shaul, has a son with smitten feet — a son of five years; as the reports of Shaul and Yah Nathan come from Yizre El; and his foster lifts him, and flees: and so be it, as she hastens to flee, he falls, and limps: and his name is Mephi Bosheth. And Rechab and Baanah the sons of Rimmon the Beerothiy go, and at about the heat of the day come to the house of Ish Bosheth who lies down on a bed at noon: and they come midst the house as though to take wheat; and smite him under the fifth: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escape: yes, they come into the house, he lies down on his bed in his bedchamber; and they smite him and deathify him

and beheaded him twisted off his head, and took his head, and gat them away journeyed through the plain all night. And they brought the head of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king sovereign, Behold the head of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth the son of Saul Shaul thine enemy, which sought thy life soul; and the L ORD hath avenged Yah Veh giveth avengements to my lord adoni the king sovereign this day of Saul Shaul, and of his seed. And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite Beerothiy, and said unto them, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity tribulation, When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead Shaul died, thinking to have brought good tidings who in his own eyes became a bringer of evangelism, I took hold of him, and slew slaughtered him in Ziklag Siqlag, who thought that I would have given him a reward instead of giving him for his tidings evangelism: How much more Also, when wicked men have slain slaughtered a righteous person just man in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require seek his blood of your hand, and take burn you away from the earth? And David commanded misvahed his young men lads, and they slew slaughtered them, and cut chopped off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth Ish Bosheth, and buried entombed it in the sepulchre tomb of Abner Abi Ner in Hebron. DAVID ANOINTED SOVEREIGN Then came all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El to David unto Hebron, and spake said, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. Also in time past three yesters ago, when Saul Shaul was king sovereign over us, thou wast he that leddest broughtest out and broughtest in Israel Yisra El: and the L ORD Yah Veh said to thee, Thou shalt feed tend my people Israel Yisra El, and thou shalt be a captain eminent over Israel Yisra El. So all the elders of Israel Yisra El came to the king sovereign to Hebron; and king sovereign David made cut a league covenant with them in Hebron before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh: and they anointed David king sovereign over Israel Yisra El. David was a son of thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah Yah Hudah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel Yisra El and Judah Yah Hudah. And the king sovereign and his men went to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem unto the Jebusites Yebusiy, the inhabitants settlers of the land: which spake said unto David, saying, Except thou take away turn aside the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking saying, David cannot come in hither. Nevertheless David took captured the strong hold of Zion Siyon: the same is being the city of David. And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up toucheth to the gutter culvert, and smiteth the Jebusites Yebusiy, and the lame and the blind,

and twist off his head; and they take his head and journey through the plain all night. 8

And they bring the head of Ish Bosheth to David to Hebron; and say to the sovereign, Behold the head of Ish Bosheth the son of Shaul your enemy who sought your soul; and this day Yah Veh gives my adoni the sovereign avengements of Shaul and of his seed.

And David answers Rechab and Baanah his brother the sons of Rimmon the Beerothiy and says to them, Yah Veh lives, who redeems my soul from all tribulation, when one told me, saying, Behold, Shaul died, who in his own eyes became a bringer of evangelism, I held him and slaughtered him in Siqlag — instead of giving him for his evangelism: also, when wicked men slaughter a just man in his own house on his bed: so now, Seek I not his blood from your hand? — burn you away from the earth?

And David misvahs his lads; and they slaughter them and chop off their hands and their feet and hang them over the pool in Hebron: and they take the head of Ish Bosheth and entomb it in the tomb of Abi Ner in Hebron. DAVID ANOINTED SOVEREIGN Then all the scions of Yisra El come to David to Hebron, and say, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. Also three yesters ago, when Shaul was sovereign over us, it was you who brought out and brought in Yisra El: and Yah Veh said to you, Tend my people Yisra El! Be eminent over Yisra El! So all the elders of Yisra El come to the sovereign to Hebron; and sovereign David cuts a covenant with them in Hebron at the face of Yah Veh: and they anoint David sovereign over Yisra El. David is a son of thirty years when he begins to reign; and he reigns forty years. In Hebron he reigns over Yah Hudah seven years and six months: and in Yeru Shalem he reigns thirty—three years over all Yisra El and Yah Hudah.

And the sovereign and his men go to Yeru Shalem to the Yebusiy, the settlers of the land: who say to David, saying, Unless you turn aside the blind and the lame, enter not here: and saying, David enters not here.

And David captures the stronghold of Siyon the city of David: and David says on that day, Whoever touches to the culvert, and smites the Yebusiy and the lame and the blind,

that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house. So David dwelt settled in the fort stronghold, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward the house. And in walking, David went walked on, and grew great walked and greatened, and the L ORD God of hosts Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth was with him. And Hiram king sovereign of Tyre Sor sent messengers angels to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters artificers of timber, and masons artificers of the stone for the wall: and they built David an house. And David perceived that the L ORD Yah Veh had established him king sovereign over Israel Yisra El, and that he had exalted lifted his kingdom sovereigndom for his people Israel's Yisra El's sake. And David took him more concubines and wives women out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born birthed to David. And these be the names of those that were born birthed unto him in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon Shelomoh, Ibhar Yibchar also, and Elishua Eli Shua, and Nepheg, and Japhia Yaphia, And Elishama Eli Shama, and Eliada El Ad, and Eliphalet Eli Phelet. But when the Philistines Peleshethiy heard that they had anointed David king sovereign over Israel Yisra El, all the Philistines Peleshethiy came up ascended to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down descended to the hold. The Philistines Peleshethiy also came and spread dispersed themselves in the valley of Rephaim. And David enquired asked of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Shall I go up ascend to the Philistines Peleshethiy? wilt shalt thou deliver give them into mine hand? And the LORD Yah Veh said unto David, Go up Ascend: for in giving, I will doubtless deliver shall give the Philistines Peleshethiy into thine hand. And David came to Baalperazim Baal Perasim, and David smote them there, and said, The L ORD Yah Veh hath broken forth breached upon mine enemies before me at my face, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim Baal Perasim. And there they left their images idols, and David and his men burned lifted them away. And the Philistines Peleshethiy came up yet again added to ascend, and spread dispersed themselves in the valley of Rephaim. And when David enquired asked of the L ORD Yah Veh, he said, Thou shalt not go up ascend; but fetch a compass go about behind them, and come upon them over against opposite the mulberry trees weepers. And let it be it becometh, when thou hearest the sound voice of a going marching in the tops of the mulberry trees weepers, that then thou shalt bestir thyself point: for then shall the L ORD Yah Veh go out before thee at thy face, to smite the host camp of the Philistines Peleshethiy. And David did worked so, as the L ORD Yah Veh had commanded misvahed him; and smote the Philistines Peleshethiy from Geba until thou come to Gazer Gezer.

So David settles in the stronghold, and calls it the city of David; and David builds the house all around from Millo: and in walking, David walks — walks and greatens; and Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth is with him. And Hiram sovereign of Sor sends angels to David — and cedar trees and artificers of timber and artificers of the stone for the wall; and they build David a house: and David perceives that Yah Veh establishes him sovereign over Yisra El; and that he lifts his sovereigndom for sake of his people Yisra El. And David takes more concubines and women from Yeru Shalem, after coming from Hebron: and sons and daughters are birthed to David. And these are the names of those birthed unto him in Yeru Shalem: Shammuah and Shobab and Nathan and Shelomoh and Yibchar and Eli Shua and Nepheg and Yaphia and Eli Shama and El Ad and Eli Phelet. And the Peleshethiy hear that they anoint David sovereign over Yisra El, all the Peleshethiy ascend to seek David; and David hears thereof and descends to the hold: and the Peleshethiy come and disperse in the valley of Rephaim. And David asks Yah Veh, saying, Ascend I to the Peleshethiy? Give you them into my hand? And Yah Veh says to David, Ascend! For in giving, I give the Peleshethiy into your hand.

And David comes to Baal Perasim, and David smites them there, and says, Yah Veh breaches my enemies at my face as the breach of waters: so he calls the name of that place Baal Perasim/Baal Breach.

And there they leave their idols, and David and his men lift them away: and the Peleshethiy add to ascend and to disperse in the valley of Rephaim.

22 23

And David asks of Yah Veh, and he says, Ascend not; but go around behind them, and come upon them opposite the weepers: and so be it, when you hear the voice of marching in the tops of the weepers, then you point: for then Yah Veh goes at your face, to smite the camp of the Peleshethiy. And thus David works as Yah Veh misvahs him; and smites the Peleshethiy from Geba until you come to Gezer.

ARK BROUGHT TO YERU SHALEM Again, David gathered together added to gather all the chosen men of Israel Yisra El, thirty thousand. And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah Yah Hudah, to bring up ascend from thence the ark of God Elohim, whose name is called by the name of the L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth that dwelleth settleth between upon the cherubims cherubim. And they set rode the ark of God Elohim upon a new cart wagon, and brought lifted it out of the house of Abinadab Abi Nadab that was in Gibeah Gibah: and Uzzah and Ahio Achyo, the sons of Abinadab Abi Nadab, drave the new cart wagon. And they brought lifted it out of the house of Abinadab Abi Nadab which was at Gibeah Gibah, accompanying the ark of God Elohim: and Ahio went before Achyo walked at the face of the ark. And David and all the house of Israel Yisra El played entertained before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh on all manner of instruments made of fir wood cypress timber, even on harps, and on psalteries bagpipes, and on timbrels tambourines, and on cornets sistrums, and on cymbals. And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put sent forth his hand to the ark of God Elohim, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook released it. And the anger wrath of the LORD Yah Veh was kindled against Uzzah; and God Elohim smote him there for his error deception; and there he died by the ark of God Elohim. And David was displeased inflamed, because the L ORD Yah Veh had made breached a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah Peres Uzzah to this day. And David was afraid of the LORD awed of Yah Veh that day, and said, How shall the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh come to me? So David would willed to not remove turn aside the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh unto him into the city of David: but David carried aside spread it into the house of Obededom Obed Edom the Gittite Gittiy.

ARK BROUGHT TO YERU SHALEM And David adds to gather all the chosen of Yisra El — thirty thousand: and David rises with all the people with him and goes from Baal Yah Hudah; to ascend the ark of Elohim from there — which is called by the Name — the Name, Yah Veh Sabaoth — that settles upon the cherubim. And they ride the ark of Elohim on a new wagon; and lift it from the house of Abi Nadab in Gibah: and Uzzah and Achyo the sons of Abi Nadab drive the new wagon: and they lift it from the house of Abi Nadab at Gibah, and accompany the ark of Elohim: and Achyo walks at the face of the ark.

And David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzzah: and he calls the name of the place Peres Uzzah/Breach of Strength to this day.

And they bring the ark of Yah Veh and set it in place midst the tent David spread for it: and David holocausts holocausts and shelamim at the face of Yah Veh: and as soon as David finishes holocausting holocausts and shelamim, he blesses the people in the name of Yah Veh Sabaoth: and he allots among all the people — among the whole multitude of Yisra El as well to the women as men — to every man one cake of bread and one portion and one cake of fig. — and all the people go — each man to his house.

And as the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh came into the city of David, Michal Saul's Shaul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king sovereign David leaping and dancing twirling before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh; and she despised him in her heart. And they brought in the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle tent that David had pitched spread for it: and David offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts and peace offerings shelamim before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. And as soon as David had made an end of finished offering burnt offerings holocausting holocausts and peace offerings shelamim, he blessed the people in the name of the L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth. And he dealt allotted among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel Yisra El, as well to the women as men, to every one a man one cake of bread, and a good piece one portion of flesh, and a flagon one cake of wine bread. So all the people departed went every one each man to his house. Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul Shaul came out went to meet David, and said, How glorious honourable was the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El to day, who uncovered exposed himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids maids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! And David said unto Michal, It was before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, which chose me before at the face of thy father, and before at the face of all his house, to appoint misvah me ruler eminent over the people of the L ORD Yah Veh, over Israel Yisra El: therefore will shall I play entertain before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. And I will shall yet be more vile abased than thus, and will shall be base lowly in mine own sight eyes: and of the maidservants maids which thou hast spoken of said, of them shall I be had in honour honoured. Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul Shaul had no child unto the day of her death. THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it came to pass, when the king sat sovereign settled in his house, and the L ORD Yah Veh had given him rest round about from all his enemies; That the king sovereign said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell settle in an house of cedar, but the ark of God Elohim dwelleth settleth within curtains. And Nathan said to the king sovereign, Go, do work all that is in thine heart; for the L ORD Yah Veh is with thee. And so be it came to pass, that night, that the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came unto Nathan, saying, Go and tell say to my servant David, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell settle in? Whereas I have not dwelt settled in any a house since from the time day that I brought up ascended the children sons of Israel Yisra El out of Egypt Misrayim, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children sons of Israel Yisra El spake worded I a word with any one of the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El,

And David returns to bless his household: and Michal the daughter of Shaul goes to meet David and says, How honorable — the sovereign of Yisra El today, who exposes himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants as one of the vain shamelessly uncovers himself!

And David says to Michal, It is at the face of Yah Veh who chose me at the face of your father and at the face of all his house, to misvah me eminent over the people of Yah Veh — over Yisra El: therefore I entertain at the face of Yah Veh: and I abase more than this — lowly in my own eyes: and the maids of which you say, of them I am honored.

As for Michal the daughter of Shaul, she has no child to the day of her death. THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it, the sovereign settles in his house; and Yah Veh gives him rest all around from all his enemies.

And the sovereign says to Nathan the prophet, See, I pray you, I settle in a house of cedar, but the ark of Elohim settles within curtains.

And Nathan says to the sovereign, Go, work all that is in your heart; for Yah Veh is with you.

And so be it, that night, the word of Yah Veh comes to Nathan, saying, Go and say to my servant David, Thus says Yah Veh, You — build me a house to settle in? I settled not in a house from the day I ascended the sons of Yisra El from Misrayim even to this day; and walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak word unto David. A PRAYER OF DAVID Then went king sovereign David in, and sat before the L ORD settled at the face of Yah Veh, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD Adonay Yah Veh? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

Then said David, I will shew kindness shall work mercy unto Hanun the son of Nahash Nachash, as his father shewed kindness worked mercy unto me. And David sent to comfort sigh over him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children sons of Ammon. And the princes governors of the children sons of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord adoni, Thinkest thou that In thine eyes honoureth David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto to sigh over thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, so as to search probe the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow overturn it? Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly mighty ashamed: and the king sovereign said, Tarry Settle at Jericho Yericho until your beards be grown sprout, and then return. And when the children sons of Ammon saw that they stank before to David,

the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul comes to David; and he falls on his face and prostrates. And David says, Mephi Bosheth. And he says, Behold, your servant! 7

And David says to him, Awe not: for in working, I work you mercy for sake of Yah Nathan your father; and restore all the field of Shaul your father to you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that you eat bread at my table continually.

And he prostrates himself and says, What is your servant, that you face such a dead dog as I?

Then the sovereign calls to Siba the lad of Shaul and says to him, All being to Shaul and to all his house I give to the son of your adoni: and you and your sons and your servants serve the soil for him and bring in; so that the son of your adoni has bread to eat: but Mephi Bosheth the son of your adoni eats bread at my table continually. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Siba has fifteen sons and twenty servants.

And Siba says to the sovereign, According to all my adoni the sovereign misvahs his servant, thus your servant works. As for Mephi Bosheth, he eats at my table as one of the sons of the sovereign.

And Mephi Bosheth has a young son; his name is Michah Yah. And all who are seated in the house of Siba are servants to Mephi Bosheth: and Mephi Bosheth settles in Yeru Shalem and eats continually at the table of the sovereign; and is lame on both his feet.

And the governors of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun their adoni, In your eyes, is it because David honors your father, that he sends to sigh over you? Sends not David his servants to you to probe the city and to spy it out and to overturn it?

And Hanun takes the servants of David and shaves off one half of their beards and cuts off their garments in the middle to their buttocks and sends them away.

When Joab Yah Ab saw that the front face of the battle war was against him before at their face and behind, he chose of all the choice men chosen of Israel Yisra El, and put lined them in array up against to meet the Syrians Aramiy: And the rest of the people he delivered gave into the hand of Abishai Abi Shai his brother, that he might put line them in array up against to meet the children sons of Ammon. And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for Aramiy prevail over me, then thou shalt help save me: but if the children sons of Ammon be too strong for prevail over thee, then I will shall come and help save thee. Be of good courage Strengthen, and let us play the men — strengthen for our people, and for the cities of our God Elohim: and the L ORD Yah Veh do that which seemeth him be good in his eyes. And Joab Yah Ab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle war against the Syrians Aramiy: and they fled before him from his face. And when the children sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians Aramiy were fled, then fled they also before Abishai from the face of Abi Shai, and entered into the city. So Joab Yah Ab returned from the children sons of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And when the Syrians Aramiy saw that they were smitten before Israel at the face of Yisra El, they gathered themselves together. And Hadarezer Hadar Ezer sent, and brought out the Syrians Aramiy that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain governor of the host of Hadarezer Hadar Ezer went before them from their face. And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel Yisra El together, and passed over Jordan Yarden, and came to Helam. And the Syrians Aramiy set themselves in array against lined up to meet David, and fought with him. And the Syrians Aramiy fled before Israel from the face of Yisra El; and David slew slaughtered the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians Arami, and forty thousand horsemen cavalry, and smote Shobach the captain governor of their host, who died there. And when all the kings sovereigns that were servants to Hadarezer Hadar Ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel at the face of Yisra El, they made peace did shalam with Israel Yisra El, and served them.

and the sons of Ammon send and hire the Aramiy of Beth Rechob and the Aramiy of Sobah twenty thousand on foot; and of sovereign Maachah a thousand men; and of Ish Tob twelve thousand men: and David hears and sends Yah Ab and all the host of the mighty: and the sons of Ammon come and line up for war at the opening of the portal: and the Aramiy of Sobah and of Rechob and Ish Tob and Maachah are alone in the field. And Yah Ab sees the face of the war is against him — at their face and behind; and he chooses from all the chosen of Yisra El and lines them up to meet the Aramiy: and he gives the rest of the people into the hand of Abi Shai his brother, to line them up to meet the sons of Ammon. And he says, If the Aramiy prevail over me, then you save me: but if the sons of Ammon prevail over you, then I come and save you. Strengthen! — Strengthen for our people and for the cities of our Elohim: and Yah Veh works good in his eyes. And Yah Ab and the people with him draw near to the war against the Aramiy: and they flee his face: and the sons of Ammon see the Aramiy, and they also flee the face of Abi Shai and enter the city: and Yah Ab returns from the sons of Ammon and comes to Yeru Shalem. And the Aramiy see they are smitten at the face of Yisra El, and they gather together: and Hadar Ezer sends and brings the Aramiy beyond the river: and they come to Helam; and Shobach the governor of the host of Hadar Ezer goes from their face. And they tell David, and he gathers all Yisra El and passes over Yarden and comes to Helam. And the Aramiy line up to meet David and fight him: and the Aramiy flee the face of Yisra El; and David slaughters seven hundred chariots and forty thousand cavalry of the Aramiy; and smites Shobach the governor of their host who dies there. And all the sovereigns, the servants to Hadar Ezer, see they are smitten at the face of Yisra El; and they shalam with Yisra El and serve them:

So the Syrians feared Aramiy awed to help save the children sons of Ammon any more. DAVID AND BATH SHEBA And so be it came to pass, after at the turn of the year was expired, at the time when kings angels go forth to battle, that David sent Joab Yah Ab, and his servants with him, and all Israel Yisra El; and they destroyed ruined the children sons of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still settled at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And so be it came to pass, in an eveningtide at evening time, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's sovereign's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing baptizing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon of mighty good visage. And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba Bath Sheba, the daughter of Eliam Eli Am, the wife woman of Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy? And David sent messengers angels, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified hallowed from her uncleanness foulness: and she returned unto her house. And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child have conceived. And David sent to Joab Yah Ab, saying, Send me Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy. And Joab Yah Ab sent Uriah Uri Yah to David. And when Uriah Uri Yah was come unto him, David demanded asked of him how Joab did of the shalom of Yah Ab, and how of the shalom of the people did, and how of the shalom of the war prospered. And David said to Uriah Uri Yah, Go down Descend to thy house, and wash baptize thy feet. And Uriah Uri Yah departed went out of the king's sovereign's house, and there followed went out after him a mess of meat an exaltment from the king sovereign. But Uriah slept Uri Yah laid at the door portal of the king's sovereign's house with all the servants of his lord adoni, and went descended not down to his house. And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went Uri Yah descended not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah Uri Yah, Camest thou not from thy a journey? why then didst thou not go down descend unto thine house? And Uriah Uri Yah said unto David, The ark, and Israel Yisra El, and Judah Yah Hudah, abide settle in tents sukkoth/brush arbors; and my lord Joab adoni Yah Ab, and the servants of my lord adoni, are encamped in upon the open face of the fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife woman? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will shall not do this thing work such word. And David said to Uriah Uri Yah, Tarry Settle here to day also, and to morrow I will let shall send thee depart away. So Uriah abode Uri Yah settled in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem that day, and the morrow. And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him at his face; and he made intoxicated him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord adoni,

and the Aramiy awe to save the sons of Ammon any more.

DAVID AND BATH SHEBA And so be it, at the turn of the year, at the time angels go forth, David sends Yah Ab and his servants with him and all Yisra El; and they ruin the sons of Ammon and besiege Rabbah: and David settles at Yeru Shalem.

And so be it, at evening time, David rises from his bed and walks on the roof of the house of the sovereign: and from the roof he sees a woman baptizing herself; and the woman is of mighty good visage.

And David sends and enquires after the woman and says, Is not this Bath Sheba the daughter of Eli Am the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy?

And David sends angels and takes her; and she comes in to him and he lies down with her; and she hallows herself from her foulness and returns to her house.

And the woman conceives and sends and tells David and says, I conceive.

And David sends to Yah Ab, Send me Uri Yah the Hethiy. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Yah Ab sends Uri Yah to David.

And Uri Yah comes to him, and David asks of the shalom of Yah Ab and of the shalom of the people and of the shalom of the war.

And David says to Uri Yah, Descend to your house and baptize your feet. And Uri Yah goes from the house of the sovereign and an exaltment from the sovereign goes after him: and Uri Yah lies down at the portal of the house of the sovereign with all the servants of his adoni and descends not to his house.

And they tell David, saying, Uri Yah descends not to his house. And David says to Uri Yah, Came you not from a journey? Why descend you not to your house?

And Uri Yah says to David, The ark and Yisra El and Yah Hudah settle in sukkoth/brush arbors; and my adoni Yah Ab and the servants of my adoni encamp on the face of the fields: and I â&#x20AC;&#x201D; go I to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie down with my woman? As you live and as your soul lives, I work no such word.

And David says to Uri Yah, Settle here today also and tomorrow I send you away.

So Uri Yah settles in Yeru Shalem that day and the morrow: and David calls him, and he eats and drinks at his face; and he intoxicates him: and at evening he goes out to lie down on his bed with the servants of his adoni;

but went descended not down to his house. And so be it came to pass, in the morning, that David wrote inscribed a letter scroll to Joab Yah Ab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah Uri Yah. And he wrote inscribed in the letter scroll, saying, Set Give ye Uriah Uri Yah in the forefront at the face of the hottest battle strongest war, and retire turn ye back from after him, that he may be smitten, and die. And so be it came to pass, when Joab observed Yah Ab guarded the city, that he assigned Uriah gave Uri Yah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab Yah Ab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy died also. Then Joab Yah Ab sent and told David all the things words concerning the war; And charged misvahed the messenger angel, saying, When thou hast made an end of finished telling wording the matters words of the war unto the king sovereign, And if so be it becometh that the king's wrath arise sovereign's fury ascend, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would should shoot from the wall? Who smote Abimelech Abi Melech the son of Jerubbesheth Yerub Besheth? did not a woman cast a piece slice of a an upper millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez Tebes? why went approached ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy is dead hath died also. So the messenger angel went, and came and shewed told David all that Joab Yah Ab had sent him for. And the messenger angel said unto David, Surely the men prevailed mightily against us, and came out went unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering opening of the gate portal. And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's sovereign's servants be dead died, and thy servant Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy is dead died also. Then David said unto the messenger angel, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab Yah Ab, Let not this thing displease thee word be evil in thine eyes, for the sword devoureth one as well as another thus: make strengthen thy battle more strong warfare against the city, and overthrow demolish it: and encourage strengthen thou him. And when the wife woman of Uriah Uri Yah heard that Uriah Uri Yah her husband was dead man died, she mourned chopped for her husband master. And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched gathered her to his house, and she became his wife woman, and bare birthed him a son. But the thing word that David had done worked displeased the L ORD was evil in the eyes of Yah Veh. NATHAN REBUKES DAVID And the LORD Yah Veh sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor one impoverished. The rich man had exceeding many mighty abounding flocks and herds oxen: But the poor impoverished man had nothing naught, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought chatteled and nourished up livened: and it grew up together with him, and with his children sons;

but he descends not to his house. 14 15

And so be it, in the morning, David inscribes a scroll to Yah Ab and sends it by the hand of Uri Yah: and he inscribes in the scroll, saying, Give Uri Yah at the face of the strongest war and you turn back from after him that he be smitten and die. And so be it, Yah Ab guards the city; and he gives Uri Yah to a place where he knows there are valiant men: and the men of the city go and fight Yah Ab: and there fall of the people of the servants of David; and Uri Yah the Hethiy also dies. And Yah Ab sends and tells David all the words concerning the war; and misvahs the angel, saying, When you finish wording the words of the war to the sovereign, and so be it, if the fury of the sovereign ascends, and he says to you, Why approached you so near the city to fight? Know you not that they shoot from the wall? Who smote Abi Melech the son of Yerub Besheth? Cast not a woman a slice of an upper millstone on him from the wall, that he died in Tebes? Why approached you the wall? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; then you say, Your servant Uri Yah the Hethiy also died. And the angel goes and comes and tells David all Yah Ab sent him for: and the angel says to David, Surely the men prevail mightily against us and go to us into the field; and we are on them even to the opening of the portal: and the shooters shoot on your servants from off the wall; and some of the servants of the sovereign died and your servant Uri Yah the Hethiy also died.

Then David says to the angel, Say thus to Yah Ab, This word is not evil in your eyes; for thus the sword devours one: strengthen your warfare against the city and demolish it: and you strengthen him.

And the woman of Uri Yah hears her man Uri Yah died, and chops for her master: and the mourning passes, and David sends and gathers her to his house; and she becomes his woman and births him a son: and the word David works is evil in the eyes of Yah Veh.

NATHAN REBUKES DAVID And Yah Veh sends Nathan to David: and he comes to him and says to him, Two men are in one city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the one rich and the one impoverished: the rich has mighty abundant flocks and oxen; but the impoverished has naught â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except one little ewe lamb which he chatteled and livened: and it grows together with him and with his sons:

it did eat of his own meat morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. And there came a traveller wayfarer unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd oxen, to dress work for the wayfaring man caravan that was come unto him; but took the poor impoverished man's ewe lamb, and dressed worked it for the man that was come to him. And David's anger was greatly wrath kindled mightily against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, the man that hath done worked this thing shall surely die is a son of death: And he shall restore shalam for the ewe lamb fourfold, because he did worked this thing word, and because finally, he had no pity compassion. And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, I anointed thee king sovereign over Israel Yisra El, and I delivered rescued thee out of the hand of Saul Shaul; And I gave thee thy master's adoni's house, and thy master's wives adoni's women into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel Yisra El and of Judah Yah Hudah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given had added unto thee such these and such those things. Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment word of the L ORD Yah Veh, to do work evil in his sight eyes? thou hast killed smitten Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy with the sword, and hast taken his wife woman to be thy wife woman, and hast slain slaughtered him with the sword of the children sons of Ammon. Now therefore the sword shall never depart not turn aside eternally from thine house; because finally, thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife woman of Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy to be thy wife woman. Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Behold, I will shall raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will shall take thy wives women before in front of thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour friend, and he shall lie with thy wives women in the sight eyes of this sun. For thou didst workedst it secretly covertly: but I will do shall work this thing word before in front of all Israel Yisra El, and before in front of the sun. And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the L ORD Yah Veh. And Nathan said unto David, The L ORD Yah Veh also hath put away passed over thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit Finally, because by this deed word thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the L ORD Yah Veh to blaspheme scorn, the child son also that is born birthed unto thee in dying, shall surely die. And Nathan departed went unto his house. And the LORD struck Yah Veh smote the child that Uriah's wife bare Uri Yah's woman birthed unto David, and it was very sick. David therefore besought God Elohim for the child lad; and David fasted a fast, and went in, and lay all night stayed overnight upon the earth. And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would willed not, neither did he eat chew bread with them.

it eats of his own morsel and drinks of his own cup and lies down in his bosom as his daughter. 4

And a wayfarer comes to the rich man; and he spares to take of his own flock and of his own oxen, to work for the caravan that comes to him: but takes the ewe lamb of the impoverished man and works it for the man who comes to him.

And David kindles his wrath mightily against the man; and he says to Nathan, Yah Veh lives! The man who works this is a son of death: and have him shalam fourfold for the ewe lamb because he works this word, and finally, has no compassion.

And Nathan says to David, You are the man! Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anointed you sovereign over Yisra El and I rescued you from the hand of Shaul; and I give you the house of your adoni and the women of your adoni into your bosom and give you the house of Yisra El and of Yah Hudah; and if that be too little, I had added these and those to you. Why despise you the word of Yah Veh to work evil in his eyes? You smote Uri Yah the Hethiy with the sword and took his woman to be your woman and slaughtered him with the sword by the sons of Ammon: and now the sword turns not aside from your house eternally; finally, you despised me and took the woman of Uri Yah the Hethiy to be your woman. Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I raise evil against you from your own house and I take your women in front of your eyes and give them to your friend: to lie down with your women in the eyes of this sun. For you worked covertly: but I work this word in front of all Yisra El and in front of the sun. And David says to Nathan, I sinned against Yah Veh. And Nathan says to David, Yah Veh also passes over your sin that you not die. Only, because by this word you give the enemies of Yah Veh great occasion to scorn; and in dying, the son birthed to you dies. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Nathan goes to his house. And Yah Veh smites the child the woman of Uri Yah births to David and it becomes very sick: and David beseeches Elohim for the lad; and David fasts a fast; and goes in and stays overnight on the earth. And the elders of his house rise to him, to raise him off the earth: but he neither wills nor chews bread with them.

But when David saw that his servants whispered enchanted, David perceived discerned that the child was dead died: therefore David said unto his servants, Is Hath the child dead died?

And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah Yedid Yah, because of the L ORD Yah Veh.

Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take capture it: lest I take capture the city, and it be called after my name. And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took captured it.

And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance mightily abounding. And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put set them under saws, and under harrows slicers of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did worked he unto all the cities of the children sons of Ammon.

And his servants say to him, What is this word you work? You fast and weep for the living child; and when the child dies, you rise and eat bread.

And he says, While the child is yet alive, I fast and weep: for I say, Who knows whether Yah Veh grants me charism that the child lives? But now he died. Why fast I? Can I return him? I go to him, but he returns not to me.

And Amnon was so vexed depressed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard and it was marvellous in the eyes of Amnon for him to do any thing work aught to her. But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab Yah Nadab, the son of Shimeah Shimah David's brother: and Jonadab Yah Nadab was a very subtil mighty wise man. And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's sovereign's son, lean from day to day poor morning by morning? wilt shalt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's Abi Shalom's sister. And Jonadab Yah Nadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give cut me meat bread to chew, and dress the meat work cuttings in my sight eyes, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand. So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king sovereign was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king sovereign, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make bake me a couple of cakes in my sight eyes, that I may eat chew at her hand. Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress work him meat cuttings. So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour dough, and kneaded it, and made cakes baked in his sight eyes, and did bake ripened the cakes. And she took a pan, and poured them out before him at his face; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out Send all men from me. And they went out every man from him. And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat cuttings into the chamber, that I may eat chew of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made worked, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. And when she had brought them near unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. And she answered said to him, Nay, my brother, do not force humble me; for no such thing ought such ought not to be done worked in Israel Yisra El: do work not thou this folly. And I, whither shall I cause my shame reproach to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel Yisra El. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak word unto the king sovereign; for he will shall not withhold me from thee. Howbeit he would willed to not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger tougher than she, forced humbled her, and lay with her.

Why not tell me? And Amnon says to him, I love Tamar the sister of my brother Abi Shalom.

And Yah Nadab says to him, Lie down on your bed and make yourself sick: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, I pray you, have my sister Tamar come and cut me bread to chew and work cuttings in my eyes that I may see and eat from her hand.

So Amnon lies down and makes himself sick: and when the sovereign comes to see him Amnon says to the sovereign, I pray you, have Tamar my sister come and bake me a couple of cakes in my eyes, that I may chew from her hand.

And David sends home to Tamar, saying, Go now to the house of your brother Amnon and work him cuttings.

So Tamar goes to the house of her brother Amnon; and he lies down: and she takes dough and kneads and bakes in his eyes and ripens the cakes: and she takes a pan and pours them at his face; but he refuses to eat.

And she says to him, No! This evil in sending me away is greater than the other that you worked me. — and he wills to not hearken to her.

And he calls his lad who ministers to him and says, Send this away from me now and enclose the door after her.

And she has a coverall coat on her: for with such mantles were the virgin daughters of the sovereign enrobed: and his minister brings her out and encloses the door after her.

And Tamar takes ashes on her head and rips the coverall coat on her and sets her hand on her head: and in walking, walks on crying.

And Abi Shalom her brother says to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? Hush now, my sister; he is your brother: set not your heart to this word. — and Tamar settles desolate in the house of her brother Abi Shalom.

And sovereign David hears of all these words and he is mightily inflamed: and Abi Shalom words to his brother Amnon neither good nor evil: for Abi Shalom hates Amnon, for word that he abased his sister Tamar.

And she said unto him, There is no cause No: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst workedst unto me. But he would willed to not hearken unto her. Then he called his servant lad that ministered unto him, and said, Put Send away now this woman out from me, and bolt enclose the door after her. And she had a garment of divers colours coverall coat upon her: for with such robes mantles were the king's sovereign's daughters that were virgins apparelled enrobed. Then his servant minister brought her out, and bolted enclosed the door after her. And Tamar put took ashes on her head, and rent ripped her garment of divers colours coverall coat that was on her, and laid set her hand on her head, and went in walking, walked on crying. And Absalom Abi Shalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace hush now, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing set not thy heart to this word. So Tamar remained settled desolate in her brother Absalom's Abi Shalom's house. But when king sovereign David heard of all these things words, he was very wroth mightily inflamed. And Absalom Abi Shalom spake worded unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad evil: for Absalom Abi Shalom hated Amnon, because for word that he had forced abased his sister Tamar. ABI SHALOM DEATHIFIES AMNON And so be it came to pass, after two full years years of days, that Absalom Abi Shalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor Baal Hasor, which is beside Ephraim Ephrayim: and Absalom Abi Shalom invited called all the king's sovereign's sons. And Absalom Abi Shalom came to the king sovereign, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king sovereign, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. And the king sovereign said to Absalom Abi Shalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable too heavy unto thee. And he pressed breached him: howbeit he would willed to not go, but blessed him. Then said Absalom Abi Shalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king sovereign said unto him, Why should he go with thee? But Absalom pressed Abi Shalom breached him, that he let sent away Amnon and all the king's sovereign's sons go with him. Now Absalom Abi Shalom had commanded misvahed his servants lads, saying, Mark See ye now when Amnon's heart is merry good with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill deathify him, fear awe not: have not I commanded misvahed you? be courageous strengthen, and be valiant sons of valour. And the servants lads of Absalom Abi Shalom did worked unto Amnon as Absalom Abi Shalom had commanded misvahed. Then all the king's sovereign's sons arose, and every man gat him up rode upon his mule, and fled. And so be it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings reports came to David, saying, Absalom Abi Shalom hath slain smitten all the king's sovereign's sons,

ABI SHALOM DEATHIFIES AMNON And so be it, after two years of days, Abi Shalom has sheepshearers in Baal Hasor beside Ephrayim: and Abi Shalom calls all the sons of the sovereign: and Abi Shalom comes to the sovereign and says, Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; may the sovereign, I beseech you, and his servants go with your servant.

And the sovereign says to Abi Shalom, No, my son, not all of us go now lest we be too heavy to you. — and he breaches on him; but he wills to not go; and he blesses him.

And Abi Shalom says, If not, I pray you, have my brother Amnon go with us. And the sovereign says to him, Why have him go with you?

And Abi Shalom breaches on him to send Amnon away with all the sons of the sovereign.

And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I — misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour!

And the lads of Abi Shalom work to Amnon as Abi Shalom misvahs: and all the sons of the sovereign rise and every man rides on his mule and flees.

And so be it, as they are in the way, reports come to David, saying, Abi Shalom smites all the sons of the sovereign

and there is not one of them left remaining. Then the king sovereign arose, and tare ripped his garments clothes, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood stationed by with their clothes rent ripped. And Jonadab Yah Nadab, the son of Shimeah Shimah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose adoni say that they have slain deathified all the young men lads the king's sovereign's sons; for Amnon only is dead died: for by the appointment mouth of Absalom Abi Shalom this hath been determined set from the day that he forced abased his sister Tamar. Now therefore let not my lord adoni the king sovereign take set the thing word to his heart, to think saying that all the king's sovereign's sons are dead died: for Amnon only is dead died. But Absalom Abi Shalom fled. And the young man lad that kept the watch watched lifted up his eyes, and looked saw, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill mountain side behind him. And Jonadab Yah Nadab said unto the king sovereign, Behold, the king's sovereign's sons come: as according to the word of thy servant said, so it is becometh. And so be it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking finished wording, that, behold, the king's sovereign's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king sovereign also and all his servants wept very sore a mighty great weeping. But Absalom Abi Shalom fled, and went to Talmai Talmay, the son of Ammihud Ammi Hud, king sovereign of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. So Absalom Abi Shalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. And the soul of king sovereign David longed concluded to go forth unto Absalom Abi Shalom: for he was comforted sighed concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead died. WISE WOMAN OF TEQOHA Now Joab Yah Ab the son of Zeruiah Seruyah perceived that the king's sovereign's heart was toward Absalom Abi Shalom. And Joab Yah Ab sent to Tekoah Teqoha, and fetched took thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on enrobe now mourning apparel clothes, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time many days mourned for the dead: And come to the king sovereign, and speak on word this manner word unto him. So Joab put Yah Ab set the words in her mouth. And when the woman of Tekoah Teqohiy spake said to the king sovereign, she fell on her face nostrils to the ground earth, and did obeisance prostrated, and said, Help Save, O king sovereign. And the king sovereign said unto her, What aileth — to thee? And she answered said, I am indeed truly a widow woman, and mine husband is dead my man has died. And thy handmaid maid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part no rescuer between them, but the one smote the other first, and slew deathified him. And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid thy maid, and they said, Deliver Give him that smote his brother, that we may kill deathify him, for the life soul of his brother whom he slew slaughtered; and we will destroy shall desolate the heir successor also:

and not one of them remains. 31

And the sovereign rises and rips his clothes and lies down on the earth; and all his servants station by with ripped clothes.

And Yah Nadab the son of Shimah the brother of David answers and says, My adoni, say not that they deathified all the lads of the sons of the sovereign; for only, Amnon died: for this became set by the mouth of Abi Shalom the day he abased his sister Tamar. And now my adoni the sovereign, set not the word to your heart, saying, All the sons of the sovereign died! — for only, Amnon died. And Abi Shalom flees: and the lad who watches lifts his eyes and sees; and behold, much people come by the way of the mountain side behind him.

And Yah Nadab says to the sovereign, Behold, the sons of the sovereign come: according to the word of your servant, so be it.

And so be it, as soon as he finishes wording, behold, the sons of the sovereign come and lift their voice and weep: and the sovereign also and all his servants weep a mighty great weeping: and Abi Shalom flees and goes to Talmay the son of Ammi Hud sovereign of Geshur; and mourns for his son every day.

And Abi Shalom flees and goes to Geshur and is there three years. And sovereign David concludes to go to Abi Shalom: for he sighs concerning Amnon, seeing he died. WISE WOMAN OF TEQOHA And Yah Ab the son of Seruyah perceives that the heart of the sovereign is on Abi Shalom: and Yah Ab sends to Teqoha and takes thence a wise woman and says to her, I pray you, feign yourself to be a mourner and enrobe mourning clothes; and anoint not yourself with oil: and be as a woman who mourns for the dead many days: and come to the sovereign and word this word to him. — and Yah Ab sets the words in her mouth.

And the woman Teqohiy says to the sovereign; and she falls on her nostrils to the earth and prostrates and says, Save, O sovereign.

And the sovereign says to her, What — to you?

And she says, I am truly a widow woman; and my man dies: and your maid has two sons and the two strive in the field and there is no rescuer between them, and the one smites the first and deathifies him: and behold, the whole family rises against your maid and they say, Give him who smote his brother — to deathify him for the soul of his brother he slaughtered; and we desolate his successor also:

and so they shall quench my coal which is left surviveth, and shall not leave to my husband set to my man neither name nor remainder survivors upon the earth face of the soil. And the king sovereign said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge shall misvah concerning thee. And the woman of Tekoah Teqohiy said unto the king sovereign, My lord adoni, O king sovereign, the iniquity perversion be on me, and on my father's house: and the king sovereign and his throne be guiltless innocent. And the king sovereign said, Whosoever saith wordeth ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall be added to not touch thee any more. Then said she, I pray thee, let the king sovereign remember the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers redeemers of blood to destroy any more not abound to ruin, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth. Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid thy maid, I pray thee, speak one word a word unto my lord adoni the king sovereign. And he said, Say Word on. And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought fabricated such a thing word against the people of God Elohim? for the king sovereign doth speak word this thing word as one which is faulty guilty, in that the king sovereign doth not fetch home again hath not returned his banished expelled. For in dying, we must needs die, and are as water spilt poured on the ground earth, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect because Elohim taketh not away any person a soul: yet doth he devise means fabricate fabrications, that his banished expelled be not expelled from him. Now therefore that I am come to speak of word this thing word unto my lord adoni the king sovereign, it is because the people have made caused me afraid to awe: and thy handmaid maid said, I will shall now speak word unto the king sovereign; it may be that perhaps the king sovereign will perform shall work the request word of his handmaid maid. For the king will sovereign shall hear, to deliver rescue his handmaid maid out of the hand palm of the man that would destroy should desolate me and my son together out of the inheritance of God Elohim. Then thine handmaid thy maid said, The word of my lord adoni the king sovereign shall now be comfortable rest: for as an angel of God Elohim, so is my lord adoni the king sovereign to discern hear good and bad evil: therefore the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim will shall be with thee. Then the king sovereign answered and said unto the woman, Hide Conceal not from me, I pray thee, the thing word that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord adoni the king sovereign now speak word. And the king sovereign said, Is not the hand of Joab Yah Ab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said,

and so they quench my coal which survives and set neither name nor survivors to my man on the face of the soil. 8

And the sovereign says to the woman, Go to your house and I misvah concerning you.

And the woman Teqohiy says to the sovereign, My adoni, O sovereign, the perversion be on me and on the house of my father: and the sovereign and his throne be innocent. And the sovereign says, Bring me whoever words to you, that he not add to touch you.

Then she says, I pray you, may the sovereign remember Yah Veh your Elohim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that the redeemers of blood not abound to ruin lest they destroy my son. And he says, Yah Veh lives! Not one hair of your son falls to the earth.

And the woman says, Let your maid, I pray you, word a word to my adoni the sovereign. And he says, Word on.

And the woman says, And why fabricate you such a word against the people of Elohim? For the sovereign words this word as one who is guilty, in that the sovereign returns not his expelled: for in dying, we die and are as water poured on the earth, which is not gathered; because Elohim takes not away a soul: yet he fabricates fabrications, that his expelled not be expelled from him: now I come to word this word to my adoni the sovereign, because the people have me to awe: and your maid says, I now word to the sovereign; so that perhaps the sovereign works the word of his maid. For the sovereign hearkens to rescue his maid from the palm of the man who desolates me and my son together from the inheritance of Elohim.

Then the sovereign answers the woman and says, Conceal not from me, I pray you, the word I ask you. And the woman says, Let my adoni the sovereign now word.

And the sovereign says, Is the hand of Yah Ab with you in all this? And the woman answers and says,

As thy soul liveth, my lord adoni the king sovereign, none no man can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord adoni the king sovereign hath spoken worded: for thy servant Joab Yah Ab, he bade misvahed me, and he put set all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid thy maid: To fetch So as to go about this form the face of speech this word hath thy servant Joab Yah Ab done worked this thing word: and my lord adoni is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God Elohim, to know all things that are in the earth. And the king sovereign said unto Joab Yah Ab, Behold now, I have done worked this thing word: go therefore, bring return the young man Absalom lad Abi Shalom again. And Joab Yah Ab fell to the ground earth on his face, and bowed prostrated himself, and thanked blessed the king sovereign: and Joab Yah Ab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace charism in thy sight eyes, my lord adoni, O king sovereign, in that the king sovereign hath fulfilled worked the request word of his servant. So Joab Yah Ab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom Abi Shalom to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And the king sovereign said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom Abi Shalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's sovereign's face. But in all Israel Yisra El there was none no man to be much praised mightily halaled as Absalom Abi Shalom for his beauty there was not as handsome a man: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head his scalp there was no blemish in him. And when he polled shaved his head, (for it was at every year's end the end of days by days that he polled shaved it: because the hair it was heavy on him, therefore he polled shaved it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight sovereign's stone. And unto Absalom Abi Shalom there were born birthed three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance beautiful visage. So Absalom dwelt Abi Shalom settled two full years of days in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and saw not the king's sovereign's face. Therefore Absalom Abi Shalom sent for Joab Yah Ab, to have sent him to the king sovereign; but he would willed to not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would willed to not come. Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field Yah Ab's allotment is near mine hand, and he hath barley there; go and set burn it on fire. And Absalom's Abi Shalom's servants set the field allotment on fire. Then Joab Yah Ab arose, and came to Absalom Abi Shalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field burnt mine allotment on fire? And Absalom Abi Shalom answered Joab said to Yah Ab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king sovereign, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's sovereign's face;

Your soul lives, my adoni the sovereign, no man can turn right or left from aught that my adoni the sovereign words: for your servant Yah Ab, he misvahed me and he set all these words in the mouth of your maid: so as to go about the face of this word your servant Yah Ab worked this word: and my adoni is wise as the wisdom of an angel of Elohim, to know all that is in the earth. And the sovereign says to Yah Ab, Behold, I pray you, I work this word: go, return the lad Abi Shalom.

And Yah Ab falls to the earth on his face and prostrates and blesses the sovereign: and Yah Ab says, Today your servant knows that I find charism in your eyes, my adoni, O sovereign, in that the sovereign works the word of his servant.

And Yah Ab rises and goes to Geshur and brings Abi Shalom to Yeru Shalem.

And the sovereign says, Have him return to his own house and not see my face.

27 28 29

So Abi Shalom returns to his own house and sees not the face of the sovereign: but in all Yisra El there is no man as mightily halaled as Abi Shalom; none become as handsome a man: from the sole of his foot even to his scalp; there is no blemish in him. And he shaves his head; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and at the end of days by days he shaves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and because it is heavy on him, he shaves; he weighs the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the stone of the sovereign. And three sons are birthed to Abi Shalom and one daughter; her name is Tamar: she is a woman of beautiful visage. So Abi Shalom settles two years of days in Yeru Shalem and sees not the face of the sovereign. And Abi Shalom sends for Yah Ab, to send him to the sovereign; but he wills to not come to him: and when he sends again the second time, he wills to not come. And he says to his servants, See, the allotment of Yah Ab is near my hand, and he has barley there; go and burn it on fire. And the servants of Abi Shalom set the allotment on fire: and Yah Ab rises and comes to Abi Shalom â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to his house and says to him, Your servants, why burn they my allotment on fire? And Abi Shalom says to Yah Ab, Behold, I send to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the sovereign, to say, Why come I from Geshur? It had been good for me to still be there: and now have me see the face of the sovereign;

and if there be any iniquity perversity in me, let him kill deathify me. So Joab Yah Ab came to the king sovereign, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom Abi Shalom, he came to the king sovereign, and bowed prostrated himself on his face nostrils to the ground earth before the king at the face of the sovereign: and the king sovereign kissed Absalom Abi Shalom. THE CONSPIRACY OF ABI SHALOM And so be it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared Abi Shalom worked him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him at his face. And Absalom rose up Abi Shalom started early, and stood beside at hand by the way of the gate portal: and it was so became, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king sovereign for judgment, then Absalom Abi Shalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El. And Absalom Abi Shalom said unto him, See, thy matters words are good and right straightforward; but there is no man deputed of the king sovereign to hear thee. Absalom Abi Shalom said moreover, Oh that I were made Who setteth me judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit plea or cause judgment might come unto me, and I would do him justice should justify him! And it was so became, that when any man came nigh to approached him to do prostrate to him obeisance, he put sent forth his hand, and took held him, and kissed him. And on this manner word did Absalom worked Abi Shalom to all Israel Yisra El that came to the king sovereign for judgment: so Absalom Abi Shalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel Yisra El. And so be it came to pass, after at the end of forty years, that Absalom Abi Shalom said unto the king sovereign, I pray thee, let me go and pay shalam my vow, which I have vowed unto the L ORD Yah Veh, in Hebron. For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode settled at Geshur in Syria Aram, saying, If the L ORD shall bring me again indeed If in returning, Yah Veh shall return me to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, then I will shall serve the L ORD Yah Veh. And the king sovereign said unto him, Go in peace shalom. So he arose, and went to Hebron. But Absalom Abi Shalom sent spies throughout all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound voice of the trumpet shophar, then ye shall say, Absalom Abi Shalom reigneth in Hebron. And with Absalom Abi Shalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity integrity, and they knew not any thing a word. And Absalom Abi Shalom sent for Ahithophel Achiy Thophel the Gilonite Gilohiy, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrificed sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the many people increased continually walked with Absalom Abi Shalom. DAVID FLEES YERU SHALEM And there came a messenger teller to David, saying,

and if there be perversity in me, may he deathify me. 33

15 2

And Yah Ab comes to the sovereign and tells him: and he calls for Abi Shalom, and he comes to the sovereign and prostrates himself on his nostrils to the earth at the face of the sovereign: and the sovereign kisses Abi Shalom. THE CONSPIRACY OF ABI SHALOM And so be it, afterward, Abi Shalom works him chariots and horses and fifty men to run at his face: and Abi Shalom starts early and stands at the hand by the way of the portal: and so be it, any man who has a controversy comes to the sovereign for judgment; and Abi Shalom calls to him and says, Of what city are you? And he says, Your servant is of one of the scions of Yisra El.

And Abi Shalom says to him, See, your words are good and straight; but there is no man of the sovereign to hear you.

And Abi Shalom says, Who set me judge in the land, that every man who has any plea or judgment comes to me to justify him?

And so be it, when any man approaches to prostrate to him, he sends his hand and holds him and kisses him: and Abi Shalom works this word to all Yisra El who come to the sovereign for judgment: and Abi Shalom steals the hearts of the men of Yisra El.

9 10

And so be it, at the end of forty years, Abi Shalom says to the sovereign, I pray you, that I may go, and shalam the vow I vowed to Yah Veh in Hebron: for your servant vowed a vow while I settled at Geshur in Aram, saying, If in returning, Yah Veh returns me to Yeru Shalem, then I serve Yah Veh. And the sovereign says to him, Go in shalom. And he rises and goes to Hebron: and Abi Shalom sends spies throughout all the scions of Yisra El, saying, As soon as you hear the voice of the shophar, say, Abi Shalom reigns in Hebron.

And two hundred men from Yeru Shalem who are called go with Abi Shalom; and they go in their integrity and they know not a word.

And Abi Shalom sends for Achiy Thophel the Gilohiy the counsellor of David from his city â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from Giloh as he sacrifices sacrifices: and the conspiracy is strong; for many people walk with Abi Shalom.

The hearts of the men of Israel Yisra El are after Absalom Abi Shalom. And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, Arise, and let us flee; for in escaping, we shall not else escape from Absalom the face of Abi Shalom: make speed hasten to depart go, lest he hasten and overtake us suddenly, and bring drive evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge mouth of the sword. And the king's sovereign's servants said unto the king sovereign, Behold, thy servants are ready to do shall work whatsoever my lord adoni the king sovereign shall appoint choose. And the king sovereign went forth, and all his household after him at his feet. And the king sovereign left ten women, which were — concubines, to keep guard the house. And the king sovereign went forth, and all the people after him at his feet, and tarried stayed in a place house that was far off. And all his servants passed on beside him at his hand; and all the Cherethites executioners, and all the Pelethites couriers, and all the Gittites Gittiy, six hundred men which came after him at his feet from Gath, passed on before at the face of the king sovereign. Then said the king sovereign to Ittai Ittay the Gittite Gittiy, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide settle with the king sovereign: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make have thee go up and down wander in going with us? seeing I go whither I may go, return thou, and take back return thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee. And Ittai Ittay answered the king sovereign, and said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, and as my lord adoni the king sovereign liveth, surely in what place my lord adoni the king sovereign shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will shall thy servant be. And David said to Ittai Ittay, Go and pass over. And Ittai Ittay the Gittite Gittiy passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones toddlers that were with him. And all the country land wept with a loud great voice, and all the people passed over: the king sovereign also himself passed over the brook Kidron wadi Qidron, and all the people passed over, toward upon the face of the way of the wilderness. And lo Zadok behold Sadoq also, and all the Levites Leviym were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God Elohim: and they set down firmed the ark of God Elohim; and Abiathar went up Abi Athar ascended, until all the people had done consummated passing out of the city. And the king sovereign said unto Zadok Sadoq, Carry Turn back the ark of God Elohim into the city: if I shall find favour charism in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, he will bring shall turn me again back, and shew have me both see it, and his habitation of rest: But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do work to me as seemeth good unto him in his eyes. The king sovereign said also unto Zadok Sadoq the priest, Art not thou a seer?

The hearts of the men of Yisra El are after Abi Shalom. 14

And David says to all his servants with him at Yeru Shalem, Rise! Flee! For in escaping, we escape not the face of Abi Shalom. Hasten to go, lest he hasten and overtake us and drive evil on us and smite the city with the mouth of the sword.

And the servants of the sovereign say to the sovereign, Behold, your servants work whatever my adoni the sovereign chooses.

And the sovereign goes forth with all his household at his feet: and the sovereign leaves ten women concubines to guard the house: and the sovereign goes with all the people at his feet and stays in a house afar off: and all his servants pass on at his hand; and all the executioners and all the couriers and all the Gittiy — six hundred men who come at his feet from Gath, pass on at the face of the sovereign.

17 18

Then the sovereign says to Ittay the Gittiy, Why go you — you also with us? Return to your place and settle with the sovereign: for you are a stranger and also an exile. Yesterday you come — and this day do I have you wander in going with us? Seeing that I go wherever I go, return — return with your brothers: mercy and truth be with you.

And Ittay answers the sovereign and says, Yah Veh lives and adoni the sovereign lives, surely in whatever place my adoni the sovereign is — whether in death or life, even there also your servant is.

And David says to Ittay, Go and pass over. — and Ittay the Gittiy passes over with all his men and with all the toddlers.

And all the land weeps with a great voice and all the people pass over: and the sovereign passes over the wadi Qidron and all the people pass over on the face of the way of the wilderness.

And behold, Sadoq also, and all the Leviym with him bearing the ark of the covenant of Elohim: and they firm the ark of Elohim; and Abi Athar ascends, until all the people consummate passing from the city.

And the sovereign says to Sadoq, Turn back the ark of Elohim into the city: if I find charism in the eyes of Yah Veh he turns me back and has me see it and his habitation of rest: and if he says thus: I delight not in you! Behold, I — may he work to me as seems good in his eyes.

Zadok Sadoq therefore and Abiathar Abi Athar carried turned back the ark of God Elohim to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: and they tarried settled there. And David went up ascended by the ascent of mount Olivet the Olives, and wept as he went up ascended, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot walked unshod: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up ascended, weeping as they went up ascended. And one told David, saying, Ahithophel Achiy Thophel is among the conspirators with Absalom Abi Shalom. And David said, O L ORD Yah Veh, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into follishness in follying, folly the counsel of Achiy Thophel. And so be it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God prostrated to Elohim, behold, Hushai Hushay the Archite Arkiy came to meet him with his coat rent ripped, and earth soil upon his head: Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom Abi Shalom, I will shall be thy servant, O king sovereign; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto since then, so will shall I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat break down the counsel of Ahithophel Achiy Thophel. And hast thou not there with thee Zadok Sadoq and Abiathar Abi Athar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing word soever thou shalt hear out of the king's sovereign's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok Sadoq and Abiathar Abi Athar the priests. Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Achiy Maas, Zadok's Sadoq's son, and Jonathan Yah Nathan, Abiathar's Abi Athar's son; and by them their hand ye shall send unto me every thing word that ye can hear. So Hushai Hushay David's friend came into the city, and Absalom Abi Shalom came into Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. DAVID AND SIBA And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba Siba the servant lad of Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth met him, with a couple pair of asses saddled he burros harnessed, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins raisincakes, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle bag of wine. And the king sovereign said unto Ziba Siba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba Siba said, The asses he burros be for the king's sovereign's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men lads to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint weary in the wilderness may drink. And the king sovereign said, And where is thy master's adoni's son? And Ziba Siba said unto the king sovereign, Behold, he abideth settleth at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem:

28 29 30

Return to the city in shalom with your two sons, Achiy Maas your son and Yah Nathan the son of Abi Athar. See, I linger in the plain of the wilderness, until word comes from you to tell me. And Sadoq and Abi Athar return the ark of Elohim to Yeru Shalem: and they settle there. And David ascends by the ascent of the Olives and weeps as he ascends with his head covered and he walks unshod: and of all the people with him every man covers his head: and they ascend; weeping as they ascend. And one tells David, saying, Achiy Thophel is among the conspirators with Abi Shalom. And David says, O Yah Veh, I pray you, in follying, folly the counsel of Achiy Thophel.

And so be it, David comes to the top, and he prostrates to Elohim; and behold, Hushay the Arkiy comes to meet him with his coat ripped and soil on his head.

And David says to him, If you pass on with me, you become a burden to me: and if you return to the city and say to Abi Shalom, I become your servant, O sovereign; and I become the servant of your father from now on, and I now also become your servant: and you break down the counsel of Achiy Thophel for me. And are there not with you Sadoq and Abi Athar the priests? And so be it, whatever word you hear from the house of the sovereign, tell it to Sadoq and Abi Athar the priests. Behold, their two sons are with them, Achiy Maas of Sadoq and Yah Nathan of Abi Athar; and every word you hear, send me by their hand. So Hushay the friend of David comes to the city and Abi Shalom comes to Yeru Shalem.

36 37

DAVID AND SIBA And David is a little past the top, and behold, Siba the lad of Mephi Bosheth meets him with a pair of harnessed he burros; and on them two hundred bread and a hundred raisincakes and a hundred summer fruits and a bag of wine. And the sovereign says to Siba, What mean you by these? And Siba says, The he burros are for the house of the sovereign to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the lads to eat; and the wine, for such as are weary in the wilderness to drink.

And the sovereign says, Where is the son of your adoni? And Siba says to the sovereign, Behold, he settles at Yeru Shalem:

for he said, To day shall the house of Israel Yisra El restore me the kingdom sovereigndom of my father. Then said the king sovereign to Ziba Siba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth. And Ziba Siba said, I humbly beseech prostrate to thee that I may find grace charism in thy sight eyes, my lord adoni, O king sovereign. SHIMI ABASES DAVID And when king sovereign David came to Bahurim Bachurim, behold, thence came out went a man of the family of the house of Saul Shaul, whose name was Shimei Shimi, the son of Gera: he came forth went, and cursed still abased as he came went. And he cast stoned stones at David, and at all the servants of king sovereign David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. And thus said Shimei Shimi when he cursed abased, Come out Go, come out go, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial Beli Yaal: The L ORD Yah Veh hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul Shaul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the L ORD Yah Veh hath delivered given the kingdom sovereigndom into the hand of Absalom Abi Shalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief evil, because thou art a bloody man. Then said Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah unto the king sovereign, Why should this dead dog curse abase my lord adoni the king sovereign? let me go pass over, I pray thee, and take twist off his head. And the king sovereign said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah Seruyah? so let him curse abase, because the L ORD Yah Veh hath said unto him, Curse Abase David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done worked so? And David said to Abishai Abi Shai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth went of my bowels inwards, seeketh my life soul: how much more now may this Benjamite Ben Yaminiy do it? let him alone, and let him curse allow him to abase; for the L ORD Yah Veh hath bidden said to him. It may be that the L ORD Perhaps Yah Veh will look on mine affliction shall see my humiliation, and that the L ORD Yah Veh will requite shall return me good for his cursing abasing this day. And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei Shimi went along on the hill's mountain side over against beside him, and cursed abased as he went, and threw stoned stones at beside him, and cast dusted dust. And the king sovereign, and all the people that were with him, came weary languid, and refreshed themselves there. ABI SHALOM APPROACHES YERU SHALEM And Absalom Abi Shalom, and all the people of the men of Israel Yisra El, came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and Ahithophel Achiy Thophel with him. And so be it came to pass, when Hushai Hushay the Archite Arkiy, David's friend, was come unto Absalom Abi Shalom, that Hushai Hushay said unto Absalom Abi Shalom, God save the king Let the sovereign live, God save the king Let the sovereign live. And Absalom Abi Shalom said to Hushai Hushay, Is this thy kindness mercy to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?

for he says, Today the house of Yisra El restores to me the sovereigndom of my father. 4

Then the sovereign says to Siba, Behold, you are all to Mephi Bosheth. And Siba says, I prostrate to you to find charism in your eyes, my adoni, O sovereign.

SHIMI ABASES DAVID And sovereign David comes to Bachurim; and behold, there goes a man of the family of the house of Shaul; his name is Shimi the son of Gera: he goes and abases as he goes: and he stones stones at David and at all the servants of sovereign David: and all the people and all the mighty on his right and on his left. And as Shimi abases, he says thus: Go, go, you bloody man and you man of Beli Yaal: Yah Veh returns on you all the blood of the house of Shaul in whose stead you reign; and Yah Veh gives the sovereigndom into the hand of Abi Shalom your son: and behold, you are in your evil, because you are a man of blood.

And Abi Shai the son of Seruyah says to the sovereign, This dead dog â&#x20AC;&#x201D; why abases he my adoni the sovereign? Pass me over, I pray you, and I twist off his head.

And the sovereign says, What have I to do with you, you sons of Seruyah? he abases thus because Yah Veh says to him, Abase David. Who then is to say, Why work you so?

And David says to Abi Shai and to all his servants, Behold, my son who came from my inwards seeks my soul: how much more now this Ben Yaminiy? allow him to abase; for Yah Veh says to him.

Perhaps Yah Veh sees my humiliation and Yah Veh returns me good for his abasing this day.

And David and his men go by the way, and Shimi goes along beside him on the mountain side; and abases as he goes and stones stones beside him; and dusts dust. And the sovereign and all the people with him become languid; and refresh themselves there.

15 16

The sovereign lives! And Abi Shalom says to Hushay, Is this your mercy to your friend? Why go you not with your friend?

And Hushai Hushay said unto Absalom Abi Shalom, Nay; but whom the L ORD Yah Veh, and this people, and all the men of Israel Yisra El, choose, his will shall I be, and with him will shall I abide settle. And again secondly, whom should I serve? should I not serve in at the presence face of his son? as I have served in at thy father's presence face, so will shall I be in at thy presence face. Then said Absalom Abi Shalom to Ahithophel Achiy Thophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do work. And Ahithophel Achiy Thophel said unto Absalom Abi Shalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left allowed to keep guard the house; and all Israel Yisra El shall hear that thou art abhorred stinkest of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong strengthened. So they spread Absalom Abi Shalom a tent upon the top of the house roof; and Absalom Abi Shalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight eyes of all Israel Yisra El. And the counsel of Ahithophel Achiy Thophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired asked at the oracle word of God Elohim: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel Achiy Thophel both with David and with Absalom Abi Shalom. THE COUNSEL OF HUSHAY Moreover Ahithophel Achiy Thophel said unto Absalom Abi Shalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will shall arise and pursue after David this night: And I will shall come upon him while he is weary belaboured and weak handed, and will make shall cause him afraid to tremble: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will shall smite the king sovereign only: And I will bring back shall return all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace shalom. And the saying pleased word was right Absalom well in the eyes of Abi Shalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel Yisra El. Then said Absalom Abi Shalom, Call now Hushai Hushay the Archite Arkiy also, and let us hear likewise what he saith is in his mouth. And when Hushai Hushay was come to Absalom Abi Shalom, Absalom spake Abi Shalom said unto him, saying, Ahithophel Achiy Thophel hath spoken worded after this manner word: shall we do work after his saying word? if not; speak word thou. And Hushai Hushay said unto Absalom Abi Shalom, The counsel that Ahithophel Achiy Thophel hath given counselled is not good at this time. For, said Hushai Hushay, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds bitter of soul, as a bear robbed of her whelps bereft in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will shall not lodge stay overnight with the people. Behold, he is hid now in some pit one of the pits, or in some other place one of the places: and so be it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown fallen at the first beginning, that in hearing, whosoever heareth it will a hearer shall say, There is a slaughter plague among the people that follow Absalom go after Abi Shalom. And he also that is valiant the son of valour,

And Hushay says to Abi Shalom, No; but whom Yah Veh and this people and all the men of Yisra El choose, his I am; and with him I settle. And secondly, whom serve I? — is it not at the face of his son? As I served at the face of your father, thus I at your face.

And Abi Shalom says to Achiy Thophel, Give counsel among you what to work.

And Achiy Thophel says to Abi Shalom, Go in to the concubines of your father, whom he allowed to guard the house; so that all Yisra El hears that you stink of your father: then strengthen the hands of all who are with you.

And they spread a tent for Abi Shalom on the roof; and Abi Shalom goes in to his concubines of his father in the eyes of all Yisra El. And the counsel Achiy Thophel counsels in those days, is as if a man asks at the word of Elohim: thus is all the counsel of Achiy Thophel both with David and with Abi Shalom.

THE COUNSEL OF HUSHAY And Achiy Thophel says to Abi Shalom, I pray you that I may choose twelve thousand men and I rise and pursue after David this night: and I come on him — belabored and weak handed; and tremble him: and all the people with him flee; and I smite the sovereign only: and I return all the people to you — return the man you seek and all: — all the people being in shalom. — and the word is right in the eyes of Abi Shalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Yisra El.

And Abi Shalom says, Call, I pray you, Hushay the Arkiy also and likewise hear what is in his mouth.

And Hushay comes to Abi Shalom, and Abi Shalom says to him, saying, Achiy Thophel words after this word: Work we after his word? If not; you word.

And Hushay says to Abi Shalom, The counsel Achiy Thophel counsels is not good at this time. For, says Hushay, you know your father and his men are mighty; and bitter of soul as a bereft bear in the field: and your father is a man of war and stays not overnight with the people. Behold, even now he hides in one of the pits or in one of the places: and so be it, when some of them fall at the beginning, that in hearing, a hearer says, There is a plague among the people who go after Abi Shalom; and he who also is the son of valour

whose heart is as the heart of a lion, in melting, shall utterly melt: for all Israel Yisra El knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men sons of valour. Therefore I counsel that all Israel Yisra El in gathering, be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba Beer Sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude abundance; and that thou go to battle war in thine own person by yourself. So shall we come upon him in some place one of the places where he shall be found, and we will shall light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground soil: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as remain even one. Moreover, if he be gotten gathered into a city, then shall all Israel Yisra El bring ropes bear lines to that city, and we will draw shall drag it into the river wadi, until there be not one small stone even a bundle found there. And Absalom Abi Shalom and all the men of Israel Yisra El said, The counsel of Hushai Hushay the Archite Arkiy is better than the counsel of Ahithophel Achiy Thophel. For the L ORD Yah Veh had appointed misvahed to defeat break down the good counsel of Ahithophel Achiy Thophel, to the intent so that the L ORD Yah Veh might bring evil upon Absalom Abi Shalom. Then said Hushai Hushay unto Zadok Sadoq and to Abiathar Abi Athar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel Achiy Thophel counsel Absalom Abi Shalom and the elders of Israel Yisra El; and thus and thus have I counselled. Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge Stay not overnight this night in the plains of the wilderness, but in passing, speedily pass over; lest the king sovereign be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. Now Jonathan Yah Nathan and Ahimaaz Achiy Maas stayed by Enrogel En Rogel; for they might could not be seen to come into the city: and a wench maid went and told them; and they went and told king sovereign David. Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom Abi Shalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim Bachurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down descended. And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth face, and spread ground corn grits thereon; and the thing word was not known. And when Absalom's Abi Shalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz Achiy Maas and Jonathan Yah Nathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone passed over the brook streamlet of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And so be it came to pass, after they were departed went, that they came up ascended out of the well, and went and told king sovereign David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel Achiy Thophel counselled against you. Then David arose, and all the people that were with him,

whose heart is as the heart of a lion, in melting, he melts: for all Yisra El knows that your father is mighty and they with him are sons of valour. 11

So I counsel, that in gathering, all Yisra El gathers to you — from Dan even to Beer Sheba, as the sand by the sea for abundance; and that you go to war by yourself: and we come upon him in one of the places where we find him; and we light on him as the dew falls on the soil: and of him and of all the men with him not even one remains: and if he gathers into a city, then all Yisra El bears lines to that city and we drag it into the wadi, until they find not even a bundle there.

And Abi Shalom and all the men of Yisra El say, The counsel of Hushay the Arkiy is better than the counsel of Achiy Thophel: and Yah Veh misvahs to break down the good counsel of Achiy Thophel, so that Yah Veh brings evil on Abi Shalom.

Then Hushay says to Sadoq and to Abi Athar the priests, Achiy Thophel counsels thus and thus and Abi Shalom and the elders of Yisra El; and I counsel thus and thus: and now send quickly and tell David, saying, Stay not overnight this night in the plains of the wilderness, but in passing, pass over; lest the sovereign and all the people with him be swallowed.

And Yah Nathan and Achiy Maas stay by En Rogel; for they cannot be seen to come into the city: and a maid goes and tells them; and they go and tell sovereign David: and a lad sees them and tells Abi Shalom: and both of them go away quickly and come to a house of the man in Bachurim which has a well in his court — wherein they descend: and the woman takes a covering and spreads it over the face of the well; and spreads grits thereon; and the word is not known. And when the servants of Abi Shalom come to the house of the woman, they say, Where are Achiy Maas and Yah Nathan? And the woman says to them, They pass over the streamlet of water. — and they seek and cannot find them and they return to Yeru Shalem.

And so be it, after they go, they ascend from the well and go and tell sovereign David, and say to David, Rise and pass quickly over the water: for Achiy Thophel counsels against you thus. And David and all the people with him rise

and they passed over Jordan Yarden: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone passed over Jordan Yarden. And when Ahithophel Achiy Thophel saw that his counsel was not followed worked, he saddled harnessed his ass he burro, and arose, and gat him home went to his house, to his city, and put his household in order misvahed concerning his house, and hanged strangled himself, and died, and was buried entombed in the sepulchre tomb of his father. Then David came to Mahanaim Machanayim. And Absalom Abi Shalom passed over Jordan Yarden, he and all the men of Israel Yisra El with him. And Absalom Abi Shalom made set Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab Yah Ab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra Yithra an Israelite Yisra Eliy, that went in to Abigail Abi Gail the daughter of Nahash Nachash, sister to Zeruiah Seruyah, Joab's Yah Ab's mother. So Israel Yisra El and Absalom Abi Shalom pitched encamped in the land of Gilead Gilad. And so be it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim Machanayim, that Shobi the son of Nahash Nachash of Rabbah of the children sons of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel Ammi El of Lodebar Lo Debar, and Barzillai Barzillay the Gileadite Giladiy of Rogelim, Brought near beds, and basons, and earthen vessels formed instruments, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, And honey, and butter, and sheep flock, and cheese of kine oxen, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry famished, and weary languid, and thirsty, in the wilderness. DAVID LINES UP FOR WAR And David numbered mustered the people that were with him, and set captains governors of thousands, and captains governors of hundreds over them. And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab Yah Ab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah, Joab's Yah Ab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai Ittay the Gittite Gittiy. And the king sovereign said unto the people, In going, I will shall surely go forth with you myself — I also. But the people answered said, Thou shalt not go forth: for if in fleeing, we flee away, they will shall not care for set their heart on us; neither if half of us die, will shall they care for set their heart on us: but now thou art worth as ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour help us out of the city. And the king sovereign said unto them, What seemeth you best well—pleaseth your eyes I will do shall work. And the king sovereign stood by the gate side portal handle, and all the people came out went by hundreds and by thousands. And the king commanded sovereign misvahed Joab Yah Ab and Abishai Abi Shai and Ittai Ittay, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man lad, even with Absalom Abi Shalom. And all the people heard when the king sovereign gave misvahed all the captains charge governors the word concerning Absalom Abi Shalom.

and pass over Yarden until the morning light; until not one lacks who passes not over Yarden. 23

And Achiy Thophel sees that his counsel works not, he harnesses his he burro and rises and goes to his house — to his city and misvahs concerning his house; and strangles himself and dies: and is entombed in the tomb of his father.

And David comes to Machanayim: and Abi Shalom passes over Yarden — he and all the men of Yisra El with him. And Abi Shalom sets Amasa captain of the host in the stead of Yah Ab: Amasa is a son of a man; his name is Yithra: an Yisra Eliy who goes in to Abi Gail the daughter of Nachash sister to Seruyah the mother of Yah Ab.

And Yisra El and Abi Shalom encamp in the land of Gilad.

And so be it, David comes to Machanayim, and Shobi the son of Nachash of Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and Machir the son of Ammi El of Lo Debar and Barzillay the Giladiy of Rogelim bring near beds and basons and formed instruments; and wheat and barley and flour and parched and beans and lentiles and parched and honey and butter and flock and cheese of oxen for David and for the people with him, to eat: for they say, The people famish and languish and thirst in the wilderness.

DAVID LINES UP FOR WAR And David musters the people with him and sets governors of thousands and governors of hundreds over them: and David sends a third of the people under the hand of Yah Ab and a third under the hand of Abi Shai the son of Seruyah the brother of Yah Ab and a third under the hand of Ittay the Gittiy. And the sovereign says to the people, In going, I — I also go with you.

And the people say, You go not: for in fleeing, if we flee, neither set they their heart on us; nor if half of us die, set they their heart on us: but now you are as ten thousand of us: and now it is better that you help us from the city.

And the sovereign says to them, Whatever well—pleases your eyes, I work. And the sovereign stands by the portal handle and all the people go by hundreds and by thousands.

And the sovereign misvahs Yah Ab and Abi Shai and Ittay, saying, For my sake, be gentle to the lad Abi Shalom. And all the people hear the sovereign misvah the word to all the governors concerning Abi Shalom:

So the people went out into the field against Israel to meet Yisra El: and the battle war was in the wood forest of Ephraim Ephrayim; Where the people of Israel Yisra El were slain smitten before at the face of the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter plague that day of twenty thousand men. For the battle war was there scattered over the face of all the country land: and the wood forest abounded devoured and consumed more people that day than the sword devoured consumed. THE DEATH OF ABI SHALOM And Absalom Abi Shalom met faced the servants of David. And Absalom Abi Shalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs thicket of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken given up between the heaven heavens and between the earth; and the mule that was under him went away passed on. And a certain one man saw it, and told Joab Yah Ab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom Abi Shalom hanged in an oak. And Joab Yah Ab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground earth? and I would should have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a one girdle. And the man said unto Joab Yah Ab, Though If I should receive weigh a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand upon my palm, yet would should I not put send forth mine hand against the king's sovereign's son: for in our hearing ears the king charged sovereign misvahed thee and Abishai Abi Shai and Ittai Ittay, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom Guard against the lad — against Abi Shalom. Otherwise I should have wrought worked falsehood against mine own life soul: for there is no matter word hid concealed from the king sovereign, and thou thyself wouldest shouldest have set thyself against me. Then said Joab Yah Ab, I may not tarry wait thus with thee at thy face. And he took three darts scions in his hand palm, and thrust staked them through the heart of Absalom Abi Shalom, while he was yet alive in the midst heart of the oak. And ten young men lads that bare Joab's armour Yah Ab's instruments compassed surrounded about and smote Absalom Abi Shalom, and slew deathified him. And Joab blew Yah Ab blast the trumpet shophar, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel Yisra El: for Joab held back Yah Ab restrained the people. And they took Absalom Abi Shalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood forest, and laid stationed a very mighty great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel Yisra El fled every one man to his tent. Now Absalom Abi Shalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up stationed for himself a pillar monolith, which is in the king's dale Sovereign's Valley: for he said, I have no son to keep memorialize my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar monolith after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place The Hand of Abi Shalom. Then said Ahimaaz Achiy Maas the son of Zadok Sadoq, says,

and the people go to the field to meet Yisra El: and the war is in the forest of Ephrayim; where the people of Yisra El are smitten at the face of the servants of David; and that day there is a great plague of twenty thousand: for the war scatters over the face of all the land: and that day the forest abounds and consumes more people than the sword consumes. THE DEATH OF ABI SHALOM And Abi Shalom faces the servants of David: and Abi Shalom rides on a mule; and the mule goes under the thicket of a great oak; and the oak holds his head given between the heavens and between the earth; and the mule under him passes on.

And one man sees it and tells Yah Ab and says, Behold, I see Abi Shalom hang in an oak.

And Yah Ab says to the man that tells him, Behold, you see! Why smote you not him there to the earth? — and I had given you ten silver and one girdle.

And the man says to Yah Ab, If I weigh a thousand silver on my palm I send not my hand against the son of the sovereign: for in our ears the sovereign misvahed you and Abi Shai and Ittay saying, Guard against the lad — against Abi Shalom: or I had worked falsehood against my own soul: for no word is concealed from the sovereign — and you yourself had set yourself against me.

15 16

Then Yah Ab says, Not so: I await at your face. And he takes three scions in his palm and stakes them through the heart of Abi Shalom while he is yet alive in the heart of the oak: and ten lads bearing the instruments of Yah Ab surround Abi Shalom and smite and deathify him: and Yah Ab blasts the shophar and the people return from pursuing Yisra El: for Yah Ab restrains the people.

And they take Abi Shalom and cast him into a great pit in the forest and station a mighty great heap of stones on him: and all Yisra El flees every man to his tent.

And in his lifetime Abi Shalom takes and stations a monolith for himself in the Valley of the Sovereign: for he says, I have no son to memorialize my name: and he calls the monolith after his own name: and it is called to this day, The Hand of Abi Shalom.

Then Achiy Maas the son of Sadoq says,

Let me now run, and bear the king tidings sovereign the evangelism, how that the LORD Yah Veh hath avenged judged him from the hand of his enemies. And Joab Yah Ab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings be a man evangelizing this day, but thou shalt bear tidings evangelize another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings not evangelize, because the king's sovereign's son is dead died. Then said Joab Yah Ab to Cushi Kushiy, Go tell the king sovereign what thou hast seen. And Cushi Kushiy bowed prostrated himself unto Joab Yah Ab, and ran. Then said Ahimaaz Achiy Maas the son of Zadok Sadoq yet again to Joab added to say to Yah Ab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi Kushiy. And Joab Yah Ab said, Wherefore wilt shalt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready evangelism to present? But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz Achiy Maas ran by the way of the plain environ, and overran Cushi passed Kushiy. And David sat settled between the two gates portals: and the watchman watcher went up to the roof over the gate portal unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked saw, and behold a man running alone. And the watchman cried watcher called out, and told the king sovereign. And the king sovereign said, If he be alone, there is tidings evangelism in his mouth. And he came apace in walking, he walked, and drew near approached. And the watchman watcher saw another man running: and the watchman watcher called unto the porter, and said, Behold another a man running alone. And the king sovereign said, He also bringeth tidings evangelizeth. And the watchman watcher said, Me thinketh the running I see the racing of the foremost first is like the running racing of Ahimaaz Achiy Maas the son of Zadok Sadoq. And the king sovereign said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings evangelism. And Ahimaaz Achiy Maas called, and said unto the king sovereign, All is well Shalom. And he fell down prostrated to the earth upon his face nostrils before at the face of the king sovereign, and said, Blessed be the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, which hath delivered shut up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord adoni the king sovereign. And the king sovereign said, Is the young man Absalom safe lad Abi Shalom at shalom? And Ahimaaz answered Achiy Maas said, When Joab Yah Ab sent the king's sovereign's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult multitude, but I knew not what it was. And the king sovereign said unto him, Turn aside around, and stand here thus. And he turned aside around, and stood still. And, behold, Cushi Kushiy came; and Cushi Kushiy said, Tidings is brought Evangelism, my lord adoni the king sovereign: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath avenged judged thee this day from the hand of all them that rose up against thee. And the king sovereign said unto Cushi Kushiy,

Run me to bear the evangelism to the sovereign; for Yah Veh judged him by the hand of his enemies. 20

And Yah Ab says to him, You are not a man to evangelize this day; but to evangelize another day: but this day you evangelize not because the son of the sovereign died.

Then Yah Ab says to Kushiy, Go tell the sovereign what you saw.

And Kushiy prostrates himself to Yah Ab and runs: and Achiy Maas the son of Sadoq adds to say to Yah Ab, And whatever it be, have me, I pray you, also run after Kushiy. And Yah Ab says, Why is this — that you run, my son, seeing you have no evangelism to present?

And whatever it be, let me run. And he says to him, Run.

And Achiy Maas runs by the way of the environs and passes Kushiy: and David settles between the two portals: and the watcher goes up to the roof over the portal to the wall and lifts his eyes and sees; and behold, a man running alone: and the watcher calls out and tells the sovereign. And the sovereign says, If he is alone, there is evangelism in his mouth: and in walking, he walks and approaches.

And the watcher sees another man running: and the watcher calls to the porter and says, Behold, a man running alone. And the sovereign says, He also evangelizes.

And the watcher says, I see the racing of the first as the racing of Achiy Maas the son of Sadoq. And the sovereign says, He is a good man and comes with good evangelism.

And Achiy Maas calls to the sovereign and says, Shalom. And he prostrates to the earth on his nostrils at the face of the sovereign and says, Blessed — Yah Veh your Elohim who shut up the men who lifted their hand against my adoni the sovereign.

And the sovereign says, Is the lad Abi Shalom at shalom? And Achiy Maas says, When Yah Ab sent the servant of the sovereign and your servant, I saw a great multitude, but I knew not what it is.

And the sovereign says, Turn around and stand. — and he turns around and stands.

And behold, Kushiy comes; and Kushiy says, Evangelism, my adoni the sovereign: for Yah Veh judges you this day from the hand of all who rise against you. And the sovereign says to Kushiy,

Is the young man Absalom safe lad Abi Shalom at shalom? And Cushi answered Kushiy said, The enemies of my lord adoni the king sovereign, and all that rise against thee to do vilify thee hurt, be as that young man lad is. And the king was much moved sovereign quivered, and went up ascended to the chamber upper room over the gate portal, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom Abi Shalom, my son, my son Absalom Abi Shalom! would God O that I had died for thee, O Absalom Abi Shalom, my son, my son! DAVID REBUKED FOR MOURNING And it was told Joab Yah Ab, Behold, the king sovereign weepeth and mourneth for Absalom Abi Shalom. And the victory salvation that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved sovereign writhed for his son. And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle war. But the king covered sovereign muffled his face, and the king sovereign cried with a loud great voice, O my son Absalom Abi Shalom, O Absalom Abi Shalom, my son, my son! And Joab Yah Ab came into the house to the king sovereign, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved rescued thy life soul, and the lives souls of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives souls of thy wives women, and the lives souls of thy concubines; In that thou lovest thine enemies haters, and hatest thy friends beloved. For thou hast declared told this day, that thou regardest neither princes governors nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom Abi Shalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well been straight in thine eyes. Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably word unto the heart of thy servants: for I swear oath by the L ORD Yah Veh, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one no man shall stay overnight with thee this night: and that will shall be worse more vilified unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now. Then the king sovereign arose, and sat settled in the gate portal. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king sovereign doth sit settle in the gate portal. And all the people came before at the face of the king sovereign: for Israel Yisra El had fled every man to his tent. THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF DAVID IS RESTORED And all the people were at strife pleaded throughout all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El, saying, The king saved sovereign rescued us out of the hand palm of our enemies, and he delivered rescued us out of the hand palm of the Philistines Peleshethiy; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom Abi Shalom. And Absalom Abi Shalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead hath died in battle war. Now therefore why speak ye not a word hush ye of bringing returning the king back sovereign? And king sovereign David sent to Zadok Sadoq and to Abiathar Abi Athar the priests, saying, Speak Word unto the elders of Judah Yah Hudah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring return the king sovereign back to his house?

Is the lad Abi Shalom at shalom? And Kushiy says, may the enemies of my adoni the sovereign and all who rise against you to vilify you become as that lad. 33

19 2

And the sovereign quivers and ascends to the upper room over the portal and weeps: and as he goes, he says thus, O my son Abi Shalom! My son — my son Abi Shalom! O that I had died in your stead! O Abi Shalom! My son — my son! DAVID REBUKED FOR MOURNING And they tell Yah Ab, and behold, the sovereign weeps and mourns for Abi Shalom: and the salvation that day becomes mourning to all the people: for that day the people hear say that the sovereign writhes for his son: and that day the people steal away to the city as shamed people steal away when they flee in war.

And the sovereign muffles his face and the sovereign cries with a great voice, O my son Abi Shalom! O Abi Shalom! My son — my son!

And Yah Ab comes to the sovereign in the house and says, This day you shame the faces of all your servants, who this day rescued your soul and the souls of your sons and of your daughters and the souls of your women and the souls of your concubines; for you love your haters and hate your beloved: for this day you tell that you regard neither governors nor servants: and I perceive this day, that had Abi Shalom lived we had all died this day, and it had been straight in your eyes.

Now rise, go and word to the heart of your servants: for I oath by Yah Veh, if you go not forth, no man stays overnight with you this night: and this is more vilifying to you than all the evil that befell you from your youth until now.

And the sovereign rises and settles in the portal: and they tell all the people, saying, Behold, the sovereign settles in the portal. And all the people come at the face of the sovereign: and Yisra El flees every man to his tent.

THE SOVEREIGNDOM OF DAVID IS RESTORED And so be it, all the people throughout all the scions of Yisra El plead, saying, The sovereign rescued us from the palm of our enemies; and he rescued us from the palm of the Peleshethiy; and now he flees from the land because of Abi Shalom: and Abi Shalom, whom we anointed over us, died in war. And now why hush you in returning the sovereign? And sovereign David sends to Sadoq and to Abi Athar the priests, saying, Word to the elders of Yah Hudah, saying, Why are you the last to return the sovereign to his house?

(seeing the speech and the word of all Israel Yisra El is come to the king sovereign, even to his house.) Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back return the king sovereign? And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do Elohim work so to me, and more add also, if thou be not captain governor of the host before me continually at my face all days in the room of Joab under Yah Ab. And he bowed spread the heart of all the men of Judah Yah Hudah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king sovereign, Return thou, and all thy servants. So the king sovereign returned, and came to Jordan Yarden. And Judah Yah Hudah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king sovereign, to conduct pass the king sovereign over Jordan Yarden. And Shimei Shimi the son of Gera, a Benjamite Ben Yaminiy, which was of Bahurim Bachurim, hasted and came down descended with the men of Judah Yah Hudah to meet king sovereign David. And there were a thousand men of Benjamin Ben Yamin with him, and Ziba Siba the servant lad of the house of Saul Shaul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went prospered over Jordan Yarden before at the face of the king sovereign. And there went passed over a ferry boat raft to carry pass over the king's sovereign's household, and to do what he thought work good in his eyes. And Shimei Shimi the son of Gera fell down before at the face of the king sovereign, as he was come passed over Jordan Yarden; And said unto the king sovereign, Let not my lord adoni impute iniquity fabricate perversity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely pervert the day that my lord adoni the king sovereign went out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that the king sovereign should take set it to his heart. For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph Yoseph to go down descend to meet my lord adoni the king sovereign. But Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah answered and said, Shall not Shimei Shimi be put to death deathified for this, because he cursed abased the L ORD'S Yah Veh's anointed? And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah Seruyah, that ye should this day be adversaries satans unto me? shall there any man be put to death deathified this day in Israel Yisra El? for do not I know that I am this day king sovereign over Israel Yisra El? Therefore the king sovereign said unto Shimei Shimi, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware sovereign oathed unto him. And Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth the son of Saul Shaul came down descended to meet the king sovereign, and had neither dressed worked his feet, nor trimmed worked his beard upper lip, nor washed laundered his clothes, from the day the king departed sovereign went until the day he came again in peace shalom. And so be it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem to meet the king sovereign,

— and the word of all Yisra El comes to the sovereign — to his house. 12 13

You are my brothers — you are my bones and my flesh. Why then are you the last to return the sovereign? And say to Amasa, Are you not of my bone and of my flesh? Elohim work thus to me and add also if you become not governor of the host at my face all days under Yah Ab.

And he spreads the heart of all the men of Yah Hudah as one man; so that they send to the sovereign, Return you and all your servants.

And the sovereign returns and comes to Yarden: and Yah Hudah comes to Gilgal — comes to meet the sovereign to pass the sovereign over Yarden: and Shimi the son of Gera a Ben Yaminiy of Bachurim hastens and descends with the men of Yah Hudah to meet sovereign David — with a thousand men of Ben Yamin and Siba the lad of the house of Shaul with his fifteen sons and his twenty servants; and they prosper over Yarden at the face of the sovereign.

And a raft passes over — passes over the house of the sovereign to work good in his eyes: and he passes over Yarden and Shimi the son of Gera falls at the face of the sovereign, and says to the sovereign, O that my adoni neither fabricate perversity to me, nor remember what your servant perverted the day my adoni the sovereign went from Yeru Shalem — that the sovereign set it to his heart: for your servant knows I sinned: and behold, I come this day — the first of all the house of Yoseph to descend to meet my adoni the sovereign.

And Abi Shai the son of Seruyah answers and says, Was not Shimi deathified for this — because he abased the anointed of Yah Veh?

And David says, What have I to do with you, you sons of Seruyah, that this day you are satans to me? Is any man deathified this day in Yisra El? For know I not that I — this day am sovereign over Yisra El?

And the sovereign says to Shimi, You die not. — and the sovereign oaths to him.

And Mephi Bosheth the son of Shaul descends to meet the sovereign; and has neither worked his feet nor worked his upper lip nor laundered his clothes from the day the sovereign went until the day he came in shalom.

And so be it, he comes to Yeru Shalem to meet the sovereign,

that the king sovereign said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth? And he answered said, My lord adoni, O king sovereign, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle shall harness me an ass a he burro, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king sovereign; because thy servant is lame. And he hath slandered treaded upon thy servant unto my lord adoni the king sovereign; but my lord adoni the king sovereign is as an angel of God Elohim: do work therefore what is good in thine eyes. For all of my father's house were naught but dead men men of death before my lord to my adoni the king sovereign: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right justness therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king sovereign? And the king sovereign said unto him, Why speakest wordest thou any more of thy matters words? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide Siba allot the land field. And Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth said unto the king sovereign, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as since my lord adoni the king sovereign is come again in peace shalom unto his own house. And Barzillai Barzillay the Gileadite Giladiy came down descended from Rogelim, and went passed over Jordan Yarden with the king sovereign, to conduct send him over Jordan Yarden. Now Barzillai Barzillay was a very aged man aged mightily, even fourscore — a son of eighty years old: and he had provided sustained the king sovereign of sustenance while he lay resided at Mahanaim Machanayim; for he was a very mighty great man. And the king sovereign said unto Barzillai Barzillay, Come Pass thou over with me, and I will feed shall sustain thee with me in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And Barzillai Barzillay said unto the king sovereign, How long have I to live How many days are the years of my life, that I should go up ascend with the king sovereign unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem? I am this day fourscore a son of eighty years old: and can I discern know between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men songsters and singing women songstresses? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord adoni the king sovereign? Thy servant will go shall pass a little way over Jordan Yarden with the king sovereign: and why, in dealing, should the king sovereign recompense it me with such a reward deal with me thus? Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave tomb of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham Kimham; let him go pass over with my lord adoni the king sovereign; and do work to him what shall seem good unto thee in thine eyes. And the king answered sovereign said, Chimham Kimham shall go pass over with me, and I will do shall work to him that which shall seem good unto thee in thine eyes: and whatsoever thou shalt require choose of me, that will shall I do work for thee.

and the sovereign says to him, Why went you not with me, Mephi Bosheth? 26

And he says, My adoni, O sovereign, my servant deceived me: for your servant said, I harness me a he burro to ride and go to the sovereign — because your servant is lame; and he treaded against your servant to my adoni the sovereign; and my adoni the sovereign is as an angel of Elohim: so work whatever is good in your eyes: for all of the house of my father are naught but men of death to my adoni the sovereign: yet you set your servant among them who eat at your own table. What justness have I yet to cry any more to the sovereign?

And the sovereign says to him, Why word you any more of your words? I said, You and Siba allot the field.

And Mephi Bosheth says to the sovereign, Yes, have him take all — since my adoni the sovereign comes again in shalom to his own house.

And Barzillay the Giladiy descends from Rogelim and passes over Yarden with the sovereign to send him over Yarden. And Barzillay aged mightily — a son of eighty years: and he sustained the sovereign when he resided at Machanayim; and he is a mighty great man.

And the sovereign says to Barzillay, Pass over with me and I sustain you with me in Yeru Shalem.

And Barzillay says to the sovereign, How many days are the years of my life, that I ascend with the sovereign to Yeru Shalem? I am this day a son of eighty years: Know I good and evil? Your servant — tastes I what I eat or what I drink? Hear I any more the voice of songsters and songstresses? Why then becomes your servant yet a burden to my adoni the sovereign? Your servant passes a little way over Yarden with the sovereign: In dealing, why deals the sovereign thus with me? O that your servant, I pray you, return to die in my own city by the tomb of my father and of my mother: but behold your servant Kimham; pass him over with my adoni the sovereign; and work to him what seems good in your eyes.

And all the people went passed over Jordan Yarden. And when the king was come sovereign passed over, the king sovereign kissed Barzillai Barzillay, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place. Then the king went on sovereign passed over to Gilgal, and Chimham went on Kimham passed over with him: and all the people of Judah Yah Hudah conducted passed the king sovereign over, and also half the people of Israel Yisra El. And, behold, all the men of Israel Yisra El came to the king sovereign, and said unto the king sovereign, Why have our brethren the men of Judah Yah Hudah stolen thee away, and have brought passed the king sovereign, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan Yarden? And all the men of Judah Yah Hudah answered the men of Israel Yisra El, Because the king sovereign is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry inflamed for this matter word? in eating, have we eaten at all of the king's sovereign's cost? or hath he given borne us any gift offering? And the men of Israel Yisra El answered the men of Judah Yah Hudah, and said, We have ten parts hands in the king sovereign, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise belittle us, that our advice word should not be first had in bringing back returning our king sovereign? And the words of the men of Judah Yah Hudah were fiercer harder than the words of the men of Israel Yisra El. SHEBA REBELS And there happened to be was called there a man of Belial Beli Yaal, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite Ben Yaminiy: and he blew blast a trumpet shophar, and said, We have no part allotment in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse Yishay: every man to his tents, O Israel Yisra El. So every man of Israel Yisra El went up ascended from after David, and followed went after Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah Yah Hudah clave adhered unto their king sovereign, from Jordan Yarden even to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And David came to his house at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem; and the king sovereign took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left allowed to keep guard the house, and put gave them in ward a house of guard, and fed sustained them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up bound unto the day of their death they died, living in widowhood. Then said the king sovereign to Amasa, Assemble Cry out unto me the men of Judah Yah Hudah within three days, and be stand thou here present. So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah cried out unto Yah Hudah: but he tarried lingered longer than beyond the set time season which he had appointed him to congregate. And David said to Abishai Abi Shai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm evil than did Absalom Abi Shalom: take thou thy lord's adoni's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get find him fenced protected cities, and escape us deliver himself from our eyes. And there went out after him Joab's Yah Ab's men, and the Cherethites executioners, and the Pelethites couriers, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

And all the people pass over Yarden: and the sovereign passes over; and the sovereign kisses Barzillay and blesses him; and he returns to his own place: and the sovereign passes over to Gilgal and Kimham passes over with him: and all the people of Yah Hudah pass the sovereign over and also half the people of Yisra El.

And behold, all the men of Yisra El come to the sovereign and say to the sovereign, Why have our brothers the men of Yah Hudah stolen you away — and pass the sovereign and his household and all the men of David with him over Yarden?

And all the men of Yah Hudah answer the men of Yisra El, Because the sovereign is near to us: Why then inflame you for this word? In eating, eat we that of the sovereign? Bears he us any offering?

And the men of Yisra El answer the men of Yah Hudah and say, We have ten hands in the sovereign and we have also more in David than you. Why then belittle you us, that our word be not first to return our sovereign? — and the words of the men of Yah Hudah are harder than the words of the men of Yisra El.

And so be a man, called of Beli Yaal, his name is Sheba the son of Bichria a Ben Yaminiy: and he blasts a shophar and says, We have neither allotment in David nor inheritance in the son of Yishay: every man to his tents, O Yisra El.

SHEBA REBELS

And every man of Yisra El ascends from after David and goes after Sheba the son of Bichri: and the men of Yah Hudah adhere to their sovereign — from Yarden even to Yeru Shalem.

And David comes to his house at Yeru Shalem; and the sovereign takes the ten women concubines whom he allowed to guard the house; and gives them in a house of guard and sustains them; but goes not in to them. Thus they are bound to the day they die — living in widowhood.

Then the sovereign says to Amasa, Cry out to me the men of Yah Hudah in three days; and you stand here.

So Amasa cries out to Yah Hudah: but he lingers beyond the season to congregate.

And David says to Abi Shai, Now Sheba the son of Bichri does us more evil than Abi Shalom: take the servants of your your adoni and pursue him; lest he find cities of protection and delivers himself from our eyes.

And the men of Yah Ab go after him — the executioners and the couriers and all the mighty; and they go from Yeru Shalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri:

And Amasa regards not the sword in the hand of Yah Ab: and he smites him therewith in the fifth and pours his inwards to the earth and repeats it not; and he dies: and Yah Ab and Abi Shai his brother pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

So Joab Yah Ab and Abishai Abi Shai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri. And one a man of Joab's men Yah Ab's lads stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab Whoever delighteth in Yah Ab, and he that is whoever be for David, let him go after Joab Yah Ab. And Amasa wallowed rolled in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed turned Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still. When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on men passed over after Joab Yah Ab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. And he went passed through all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah Beth Maachah, and all the Berites Beriy: and they were gathered together congregated, and went also after him. And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah Beth Maachah, and they cast up poured a bank mound against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab Yah Ab battered ruined the wall, to throw it down and felled it. Then cried called out a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab Yah Ab, Come near Approach hither, that I may speak word with thee. And when he was come near approached unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab Yah Ab? And he answered said, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid thy maid. And he answered said, I do hear.

I am one of them that are peaceable shalam and faithful in Israel am amenable in Yisra El: thou seekest to destroy deathify a city and a mother in Israel Yisra El: why wilt shalt thou swallow up the inheritance of the L ORD Yah Veh? And Joab Yah Ab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy ruin. The matter word is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim Ephrayim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king sovereign, even against David: deliver give him only, and I will depart shall go from the city. And the woman said unto Joab Yah Ab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over through the wall.

And a wise woman calls out from the city, Hear! Hear! I pray you, say to Yah Ab, Approach here, and I word with you.

And he approaches her, and the woman says, Are you Yah Ab? And he says, I. Then she says to him, Hear the words of your maid.

20 21

And he says, I hear. Then she says, saying, In wording, they word in the beginning, saying, In asking, they ask at Abel: and so they consummate. I shalam and am amenable in Yisra El: you seek to deathify a city and a mother in Yisra El: Why swallow the inheritance of Yah Veh? And Yah Ab answers and says, Far be it, far be it from me to swallow or ruin: the word is not thus: but a man of mount Ephrayim Sheba the son of Bichri by name lifts his hand against the sovereign — against David: give him only, and I go from the city. And the woman says to Yah Ab, Behold, his head — thrown to you through the wall.

Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab Yah Ab. And he blew blast a trumpet shophar, and they retired scattered from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab Yah Ab returned to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem unto the king sovereign. Now Joab Yah Ab was over all the host of Israel Yisra El: and Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada was over the Cherethites executioners and over the Pelethites couriers: And Adoram Adoni Ram was over the tribute vassal: and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat the son of Ahilud Achiy Lud was recorder remembrancer: And Sheva Sheya was scribe: and Zadok Sadoq and Abiathar Abi Athar were the priests: And Ira also the Jairite Yairiy was a chief ruler priest about David. REVENGE OF THE GIBONIY Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD sought the face of Yah Veh. And the LORD answered Yah Veh said, It is for Saul Shaul, and for his the bloody house, because he slew deathified the Gibeonites Giboniy. And the king sovereign called the Gibeonites Giboniy, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites Giboniy were not of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, but of the remnant of the Amorites Emoriy; and the children sons of Israel Yisra El had sworn oathed unto them: and Saul Shaul sought to slay smite them in his zeal jealousy to the children sons of Israel Yisra El and Judah Yah Hudah.) Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites Giboniy, What shall I do work for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement kapar/atone for you, that ye may bless the inheritance of the L ORD Yah Veh? And the Gibeonites Giboniy said unto him, We will shall have no silver nor gold of Saul Shaul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill deathify any man in Israel Yisra El. And he said, What ye shall say, that will shall I do work for you. And they answered said to the king sovereign, The man that consumed finished us off, and that devised considered against us that we should be destroyed desolated from remaining standing by in any of the coasts borders of Israel Yisra El, Let seven men of his sons be delivered given unto us, and we will hang shall impale them up unto the L ORD Yah Veh in Gibeah Gibah of Saul Shaul, whom the L ORD Yah Veh did choose. And the king sovereign said, I will shall give them. But the king sovereign spared Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth, the son of Jonathan Yah Nathan the son of Saul Shaul, because of the L ORD'S Yah Veh's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan between Yah Nathan the son of Saul Shaul. But the king sovereign took the two sons of Rizpah Rispah the daughter of Aiah Ajah, whom she bare birthed unto Saul Shaul, Armoni and Mephibosheth Mephi Bosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul Shaul, whom she brought up birthed for Adriel Adri El the son of Barzillai Barzillay the Meholathite Mecholathiy:

— and in her wisdom the woman goes to all the people; and they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and cast it to Yah Ab. And he blasts a shophar and they scatter from the city — every man to his tent: and Yah Ab returns to Yeru Shalem to the sovereign.

24 25 26

And Yah Ab is over all the host of Yisra El: and Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada is over the executioners and over the couriers: and Adoni Ram is over the vassal: and Yah Shaphat the son of Achiy Lud is remembrancer: and Sheya is scribe: and Sadoq and Abi Athar are priests: and also Ira the Yairiy is a priest to David. REVENGE OF THE GIBONIY And there is a famine in the days of David — three years — year after year; and David seeks the face of Yah Veh. And Yah Veh says, It is for Shaul and for the bloody house, because he deathified the Giboniy.

And the sovereign calls the Giboniy and says to them — now the Giboniy are not of the sons of Yisra El but of the remnant of the Emoriy — and the sons of Yisra El oathed to them: — and Shaul sought to smite them in his jealousy toward the sons of Yisra El and Yah Hudah: — yes, David says to the Giboniy, What work I for you? Wherewith kapar/atone I for you so that you bless the inheritance of Yah Veh? And the Giboniy says to him, We have silver and gold neither of Shaul nor of his house; nor for us to deathify any man in Yisra El. And he says, Whatever you say, I work for you.

And they say to the sovereign, The man who finishes us off — who considers against us desolates us from standing by in any of the borders of Yisra El: give us seven men of his sons and we impale them to Yah Veh in Gibah of Shaul, whomever Yah Veh chooses. And the sovereign says, I give them.

And the sovereign spares Mephi Bosheth the son of Yah Nathan the son of Shaul because of the oath of Yah Veh between them — between David and between Yah Nathan the son of Shaul.

And the sovereign takes the two sons of Rispah the daughter of Ajah whom she birthed to Shaul — Armoni and Mephi Bosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Shaul, whom she birthed to Adri El the son of Barzillay the Mecholathiy:

and he gives them into the hands of the Giboniy and they impale them in the mountain at the face of Yah Veh: and they fall sevenfold together — deathified in the days of harvest at the first — in the beginning of barley harvest.

And Rispah the daughter of Ajah takes saq and spreads it for her on the rock — from the beginning of harvest until water from the heavens pours on them and gives neither the flyers of the heavens to rest on them by day nor the live beings of the field by night.

And they tell David what Rispah the daughter of Ajah, the concubine of Shaul works: and David goes and takes the bones of Shaul and the bones of Yah Nathan his son from the masters of Yabesh Gilad — who stole them from the broadway of Beth Shaan, where the Peleshethiy hanged them in the day the Peleshethiy smote Shaul in Gilboa: and from there he ascends the bones of Shaul and the bones of Yah Nathan his son; and they gather the bones of the impailed; and they entomb the bones of Shaul and Yah Nathan his son in the land of Ben Yamin in Sela in the tomb of Qish his father: and they perform all the sovereign misvahs: and after they intreat Elohim for the land.

And he delivered gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites Giboniy, and they hanged impaled them in the hill mountain before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh: and they fell all seven sevenfold together, and were put to death deathified in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest. And Rizpah Rispah the daughter of Aiah Ajah took sackcloth saq, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped poured upon them out of heaven the heavens, and suffered gave neither the birds flyers of the air heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts live beings of the field by night. And it was told David what Rizpah Rispah the daughter of Aiah Ajah, the concubine of Saul Shaul, had done worked. And David went and took the bones of Saul Shaul and the bones of Jonathan Yah Nathan his son from the men masters of Jabeshgilead Yabesh Gilad, which had stolen them from the street broadway of Bethshan Beth Shaan, where the Philistines Peleshethiy had hanged them, in the day when the Philistines Peleshethiy had slain Saul smitten Shaul in Gilboa: And he brought up ascended from thence the bones of Saul Shaul and the bones of Jonathan Yah Nathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged impailed. And the bones of Saul Shaul and Jonathan Yah Nathan his son buried entombed they in the country land of Benjamin Ben Yamin in Zelah Sela, in the sepulchre tomb of Kish Qish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded sovereign misvahed. And after that God Elohim was intreated for the land. Moreover the Philistines Peleshethiy had yet war again with Israel Yisra El; and David went down descended, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines Peleshethiy: and David waxed faint fluttered. And Ishbibenob Yishbo Be Nob, which was of the sons of the giant born birthed to Rapha, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass copper in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought said to have slain smitten David. But Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah succoured helped him, and smote the Philistine Peleshethiy, and killed deathified him. Then the men of David sware oathed unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle war, that thou quench not the light lamp of Israel Yisra El. And so be it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle war with the Philistines Peleshethiy at Gob: then Sibbechai Sibbechay the Hushathite Hushathiy slew smote Saph, which was of the sons of the giant born birthed to Rapha. And there was again a battle war in Gob with the Philistines Peleshethiy, where Elhanan El Hanan the son of Jaareoregim Yaare Oregim, a Bethlehemite Beth Lechemiy, slew the brother of Goliath smote Golyath the Gittite Gittiy, the staff timber of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. And there was yet a battle war in Gath, where was a man of great stature measure, that had on every hand six fingers and the digits of his hands were six,

And again the Peleshethiy war with Yisra El; and David descends with his servants and fights the Peleshethiy: and David flutters: and Yishbo Be Nob, who is birthed to Rapha, whose spear weighs three hundred copper weight — being girded with a new one says of smitting David. But Abi Shai the son of Seruyah helps him and smites the Peleshethiy and deathifies him. And the men of David oath to him, saying, Neither go anymore with us to war, nor quench the lamp of Yisra El.

And so be it, after this, there is war again with the Peleshethiy at Gob: then Sibbechay the Hushathiy smites Saph, who is birthed to Rapha.

And again there is war with the Peleshethiy in Gob, and El Hanan the son of Yaare Oregim a Beth Lechemiy smites Golyath the Gittiy the timber of whose spear is as the beam of a weaver: and again there is war in Gath and there is a man of measure — the digits of his hands are six

And when he defied Israel reproached Yisra El, Jonathan Yah Nathan the son of Shimeah Shimah the brother of David slew smote him. These four were born birthed to the giant Rapha in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. THE SONG OF HALAL OF DAVID And David spake worded unto the L ORD Yah Veh the words of this song in the day that the LORD Yah Veh had delivered rescued him out of the hand palm of all his enemies, and out of the hand palm of Saul Shaul: And he said, The L ORD Yah Veh is my rock, and my fortress stronghold, and my deliverer escape; The God Elohim of my rock; in him will shall I trust seek refuge: he is my shield buckler, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower secure loft, and my refuge retreat, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. I will shall call on the L ORD Yah Veh, who is worthy to be praised the halaled: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. When the waves of death compassed surrounded me, the floods wadies of ungodly men Beli Yaal made me afraid frightened me; The sorrows cords of hell sheol compassed me about surrounded me; the snares of death prevented confronted me; In my distress tribulation I called upon the L ORD Yah Veh, and cried to my God Elohim: and he did hear my voice out of his temple manse, and my cry did enter into be in his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled quaked; the foundations of heaven the heavens moved quaked and shook, because he was wroth inflamed. There went up ascended a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled burnt away by it. He bowed spread the heavens also, and came down descended; and dripping darkness was under his feet. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind spirit/wind. And he made placed darkness pavilions brush arbors round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies vapour. Through the brightness before brilliancy in front of him were coals of fire kindled burnt away. The L ORD Yah Veh thundered from heaven the heavens, and the most High uttered Elyon gave his voice. And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited agitated them. And the channels reservoirs of the sea appeared were seen, the foundations of the world were discovered exposed, at the rebuking of the L ORD Yah Veh, at the blast breath of the breath spirit/wind of his nostrils. He sent from above high, he took me; he drew me out of many great waters; He delivered rescued me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. They prevented confronted me in the day of my calamity: but the L ORD Yah Veh was my stay support.

and the digits of his feet are six — twenty—four in number: and he also is birthed to Rapha: and he reproaches Yisra El and Yah Nathan the son of Shimah the brother of David smites him. These four are birthed to Rapha in Gath and fall by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. THE SONG OF HALAL OF DAVID And David words the words of this song to Yah Veh the day Yah Veh rescues him from the palm of all his enemies and from the palm of Shaul: and he says, Yah Veh is my rock and my stronghold and my escape; the Elohim of my rock — in him I seek refuge: my buckler and the horn of my salvation; my secure loft and my retreat; my saviour — you save me from violence. I call on Yah Veh — the halaled: and I am saved from my enemies.

He hears my voice from his manse and my cry is in his ears: then the earth shakes and quakes; the foundations of the heavens quake and shake because he inflames.

Smoke from his nostrils ascend and fire from his mouth consumes: coals burn away by it.

For I have kept guarded the ways of the L ORD Yah Veh, and have not wickedly departed done wickedly from against my God Elohim. For all his judgments were before in front of me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart turned not aside from them. I was also upright before integrious unto him, and have kept guarded myself from mine iniquity my perversity. Therefore the L ORD Yah Veh hath recompensed returned to me according to my righteousness justness; according to my cleanness purity in his eye sight front of his eyes. With the merciful thou wilt shalt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man mighty integrious thou wilt shalt shew thyself upright integrious. With the pure thou wilt shalt shew thyself pure; and with the froward perverted thou wilt shalt shew thyself unsavoury wrestlest. And the afflicted humble people thou wilt shalt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty lofty, that thou mayest bring descend them down low. For thou art my lamp, O L ORD Yah Veh: and the L ORD Yah Veh will lighten shall illuminate my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God Elohim have I leaped over a wall. As for God El, his way is perfect integrious; the word sayings of the L ORD is tried Yah Veh be refined: he is a buckler to all them that trust seek refuge in him. For who is God El, save the L ORD except Yah Veh? and who is a rock, save except our God Elohim? God El is my strength stronghold and power valour: and he maketh looseth my way perfect integrious. He maketh equalizeth my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth standeth me upon my high places bamahs. He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel copper is broken bent by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield buckler of thy salvation: and thy gentleness humbling hath made abounded me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps paces under me; so that my feet did not slip ankles wavered not. I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed desolated them; and turned not again back until I had consumed finished them off. And I have consumed finished them off, and wounded stricken them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet. For thou hast girded me with strength valour to battle war: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued caused to bow under me. Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy exterminate them that hate me. They looked, but there was none to save no savior; even unto the LORD Yah Veh, but he answered them not. Then did I beat I pulverized them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp pulverized them as the mire of the street outway, and did spread expanded them abroad. Thou also hast delivered slipped me out from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept guarded me to be head of the heathen goyim:

Yah Veh deals me according to my justness: according to the purity of my hands he returns to me. For I guard the ways of Yah Veh and do not wickedly against my Elohim: for all his judgments are in front of me; and his statutes, I turn not aside from them: and I am integrious to him and guard myself from my perversity.

And Yah Veh returns to me according to my justness — according to my purity in front of his eyes.

With the merciful you show yourself merciful: with the mighty integrious you show yourself integrious: with the pure you show yourself pure: and with the perverted you show yourself a wrestler.

And the humble people you save: but your eyes are on the lofty for you descend them low.

For you are my lamp, O Yah Veh; O Yah Veh, illuminate my darkness: for by you I run through a troop; by my Elohim I leap over a wall.

And you gird me with valour to war: they who rise against me you have to bow under me: you give me the necks of my enemies — to exterminate them who hate me.

THE FINAL WORDS OF DAVID Now these be the last words of David. An oracle of David the son of Jesse said Yishay, and an oracle of the man mighty who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God Elohim of Jacob Yaaqov, and the sweet psalmist pleasantness of the psalms of Israel Yisra El, said, The Spirit of the L ORD spake Yah Veh worded by me, and his word utterance was in my tongue. The God Elohim of Israel Yisra El said, the Rock of Israel spake Yisra El worded to me, He that ruleth over men who dominates over humanity must be just, ruling dominating in the fear awe of God Elohim. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without thick clouds; as the tender grass springing the sprouts out of the earth by clear shining brilliancy after rain. Although my house be not so with God El; yet he hath made set with me an everlasting eternal covenant, ordered aligned in all things, and sure guarded: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire delight, although he make it not to grow sprout. But the sons of Belial Beli Yaal shall be all of them as thorns thrust fled away, because they cannot be taken with hands: But the man that shall touch them must be fenced filled with iron and the staff timber of a spear; and in burning, they shall be utterly burned burnt with fire in the same place seat. THE MIGHTY OF DAVID These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat Tachkemoniy Yosheb Bash Shabbath, chief head among the captains tertiaries; the same was Adino the Eznite; he lift up his spear spearer against eight hundred, whom he slew pierced at one time. And after him was Eleazar El Azar the son of Dodo the Ahohite Ach Oachiy, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied reproached the Philistines Peleshethiy that were there gathered together to battle war, and the men of Israel Yisra El were gone away had ascended: He arose, and smote the Philistines Peleshethiy

You also lift me on high above them who rise against me: you rescue me from the man of violence.

So I spread hands to you, O Yah Veh, among the goyim; and I pluck to your name.

He greatens salvation for his sovereign: and works mercy to his anointed — to David and to his seed eternally.

THE FINAL WORDS OF DAVID And these are the final words of David — an oracle of David the son of Yishay; an oracle of the mighty raised on high; the anointed of the Elohim of Yaaqov and the pleasantness of the psalms of Yisra El. The Spirit of Yah Veh words by me and his utterance is in my tongue. The Elohim of Yisra El says — the Rock of Yisra El words to me, He who dominates over humanity is just; dominating in the awe of Elohim: rising as the light of the morning — as the morning sun without thick clouds; — as the sprouts from the earth by brilliancy after rain.

Although my house is not so with El; yet he set an eternal covenant with me — aligned in all and guarded: for this is all my salvation and all my delight, although he sprouts it not.

As for Beli Yaal — as a fleeing thorn they all are; because they are not taken by hands: but the man who touches them must be filled with iron with the timber of a spear; and in burning, they are burnt with fire in their seat. THE MIGHTY OF DAVID These are the names of the mighty of David: Tachkemoniy Yosheb Bash Shabbath — head of the tertiaries — the same Adino the spearer who pierced eight hundred at one time.

And after him El Azar the son of Dodo the Ach Oachiy — of the three mighty with David, they reproached the Peleshethiy gathering to war — the men of Yisra El ascended and he rose and smote the Peleshethiy

until his hand was weary belaboured, and his hand clave adhered unto the sword: and the L ORD Yah Veh wrought worked a great victory salvation that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil strip. And after him was Shammah the son of Agee Age the Hararite Harariy. And the Philistines Peleshethiy were gathered together into a troop alive, where was a piece of ground an allotment of field full of lentiles: and the people fled from the face of the Philistines Peleshethiy. But he stood in the midst of the ground allotment, and defended rescued it, and slew smote the Philistines Peleshethiy: and the L ORD Yah Veh wrought worked a great victory salvation. And three of the thirty chief heads went down descended, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop living of the Philistines Peleshethiy pitched encamped in the valley of Rephaim. And David was then in an hold, and the garrison standing camp of the Philistines Peleshethiy was then in Bethlehem Beth Lechem. And David longed desired, and said, Oh that one would should give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem Beth Lechem, which is by the gate portal! And the three mighty men brake through split the host camp of the Philistines Peleshethiy, and drew bailed water out of the well of Bethlehem Beth Lechem, that was by the gate portal, and took lifted it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would willed to not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the L ORD Yah Veh. And he said, Be it far from me, O L ORD Yah Veh, that I should do work this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives with their souls? therefore he would willed to not drink it. These things did worked these three mighty men. And Abishai Abi Shai, the brother of Joab Yah Ab, the son of Zeruiah Seruyah, was chief head among three. And he lifted up wakened his spear against three hundred, and slew pierced them, and had the name among three. Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain governor: howbeit he attained not unto the first three. And Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel Qabse El, who had done many acts great in deeds, he slew smote two lionlike men Ari Eliy of Moab: he went down descended also and slew smote a lion in the midst of a pit well in time a day of snow: And he slew an Egyptian smote a man, a Misrayim, a goodly man man of visage: and the Egyptian Misrayim had a spear in his hand; but he went down descended to him with a staff scion, and plucked stripped the spear out of the Egyptian's Misrayim's hand, and slew slaughtered him with his own spear. These things did Benaiah worked Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada, and had the name among three mighty men. He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard. Asahel Asa El the brother of Joab Yah Ab was one of the thirty; Elhanan El Hanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem Beth Lechem, Shammah the Harodite Harodiy, Elika Eli Qa the Harodite Harodiy, Helez Heles the Paltite Paltiy, Ira the son of Ikkesh Iqqesh the Tekoite Teqohiy,

until his hand belabored and his hand adhered to the sword: and that day Yah Veh worked a great salvation and the people returned after him only, to strip. 11

And after him Shammah the son of Age the Harariy: and the Peleshethiy gathered alive in an allotment of field full of lentiles: and the people fled the face of the Peleshethiy: and he stood midst the allotment and rescued it and smote the Peleshethiy: and Yah Veh worked a great salvation. And three of the thirty heads descended and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam: and the living of the Peleshethiy encamped in the valley of Rephaim: and David was then in a hold and the standing camp of the Peleshethiy was then Beth Lechem.

And David desired and said, Oh that someone give me a drink of the water of the well of Beth Lechem by the portal!

And the three mighty split the camp of the Peleshethiy and bailed water from the well of Beth Lechem by the portal and lifted and brought it to David.

And he willed to not drink thereof but poured it to Yah Veh: and he said, Far be it from me, O Yah Veh, that I work this. Is this the blood of the men who go with their souls? — and he willed to not drink it. These three mighty worked all these.

And Abi Shai the brother of Yah Ab the son of Seruyah was head among three: and he wakened his spear against three hundred and pierced them and had a name among three. Was he not most honorable of three? and he became their governor: howbeit he attained not to the three. And Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada the son of a valiant man of Qabse El; great in deeds: he smote two Ari Eliy of Moab: and descended and smote a lion midst a well in a day of snow: and he smote a man — a Misrayim — a man of visage: and the Misrayim had a spear in his hand; and he descended to him with a scion and stripped the spear from the hand of the Misrayim and slaughtered him with his own spear. These worked Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada and had a name among three mighty: he was more honorable than the thirty but he attained not to the three: and David set him over his guard. Asa El the brother of Yah Ab was one of the thirty; El Hanan the son of Dodo of Beth Lechem, Shammah the Harodiy, Eli Qa the Harodiy, Heles the Paltiy, Ira the son of Iqqesh the Teqohiy,

And Joab Yah Ab said unto the king sovereign, Now the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold a hundred times, and that the eyes of my lord adoni the king sovereign may see it: but why doth my lord adoni the king sovereign delight in this thing word? Notwithstanding the king's sovereign's word prevailed against Joab Yah Ab, and against the captains governors of the host valiant.

DAVID MUSTERS YISRA EL And Yah Veh adds to kindle his wrath against Yisra El; and he goads David against them to say, Go, number Yisra El and Yah Hudah.

And the sovereign says to Yah Ab the governor of the valiant host with him, Flit now through all the scions of Yisra El from Dan even to Beer Sheba; and number the people so that I know the number of the people.

And Yah Ab says to the sovereign, Yes, Yah Veh your Elohim adds to the people — as many as ever they be, a hundred times that the eyes of my adoni the sovereign see. But why delights my adoni the sovereign in this word?

And the word of the sovereign prevails against Yah Ab and against the governors of the valiant: and Yah Ab and the governors of the valiant go from the face of the sovereign to muster the people of Yisra El: and they pass over Yarden and encamp in Aroer, on the right side of the city midst the wadi of Gad and toward Yazer: and they come to Gilad and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; and they come to Dan Yaan and around to Sidon; and come to the fortress of Sor and to all the cities of the Hivviy and of the Kenaaniy; and they go to the south of Yah Hudah to Beer Sheba.

of the number census of the people unto the king sovereign: and there were in Israel Yisra El eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah Yah Hudah were five hundred thousand men. And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered scribed the people. And David said unto the L ORD Yah Veh, I have sinned greatly mightily in that I have done worked: and now, I beseech thee, O L ORD Yah Veh, take away pass over the iniquity perversity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly follied mightily. For when David was up arose in the morning, the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying, Go and say word unto David, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, I offer lift thee these three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do work it unto thee. So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt shalt thou flee three months before thine enemies at the face of thy tribulators, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise perceive, and see what answer word I shall return to him that sent me. And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait tribulate mightily: let us fall now into the hand of the L ORD Yah Veh; for his mercies are great many: and let me not fall into the hand of man humanity. So the L ORD Yah Veh sent gave a pestilence upon Israel Yisra El from the morning even to the time appointed of season: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba Beer Sheba seventy thousand men. And when the angel stretched out spread his hand upon Jerusalem Yeru Shalem to destroy ruin it, the L ORD repented Yah Veh sighed him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed ruined the people, It is enough: stay slacken now thine hand. And the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh was by the threshingplace of Araunah Aravnah the Jebusite Yebusiy. And David spake said unto the L ORD Yah Veh when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo Behold, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly perverted: but these sheep flock, what have they done worked? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house. And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up Ascend, rear an raise a sacrifice altar unto the L ORD Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Araunah Aravnah the Jebusite Yebusiy. And David, according to the saying word of Gad, went up ascended as the L ORD commanded Yah Veh misvahed And Araunah Aravnah looked, and saw the king sovereign and his servants coming on passing over toward him: and Araunah Aravnah went out, and bowed prostrated himself before to the king sovereign on his face nostrils upon the ground earth. And Araunah Aravnah said, Wherefore is my lord adoni the king sovereign come to his servant? And David said, To buy chattel the threshingfloor of thee, to build an a sacrifice altar unto the L ORD Yah Veh, that the plague may be stayed restrained from the people. And Araunah Aravnah said unto David, Let my lord adoni the king sovereign

of the census of the people to the sovereign: and there are of Yisra El eight hundred thousand valiant who draw the sword; and the men of Yah Hudah five hundred thousand men. 10

And after he scribes the people the heart of David is smitten: and David says to Yah Veh, I sinned mightily in what I worked: and now, I beseech you, O Yah Veh, pass over the perversity of your servant; for I follied mightily.

And David rises in the morning, and the word of Yah Veh comes to the prophet Gad, the seer of David, saying, Go and word to David, Thus says Yah Veh, I lift you these three: choose which one to work to you.

And Gad comes to David and tells him and says to him, Come seven years of famine to you in your land? Or flee you three months from the face of your tribulators while they pursue you? Or have three days pestilence in your land? now perceive and see which word I return to him who sends me.

And David says to Gad, I tribulate mightily: may we fall now into the hand of Yah Veh â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for his mercies are many: and may I not fall to the hand of humanity.

And Yah Veh gives a pestilence on Yisra El from the morning even to the time of season: and seventy thousand men of the people die from Dan even to Beer Sheba.

And the angel spreads his hand on Yeru Shalem to ruin it; and Yah Veh sighs of the evil; and says to the angel who ruined the people, Enough! Slacken now your hand. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the angel of Yah Veh is by the threshingplace of Aravnah the Yebusiy.

And David says to Yah Veh when he sees the angel who smites the people and says, Behold, I sinned and I perverted: but these flock, what worked they? O that your hand, I pray you, be against me and against the house of my father.

And that day Gad comes to David and says to him, Ascend! Raise a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Aravnah the Yebusiy.

And David ascends according to the word of Gad as Yah Veh misvahed: and Aravnah looks and sees the sovereign and his servants passing toward him: and Aravnah goes out and prostrates himself to the sovereign on his nostrils on the earth: and Aravnah says, Why comes my adoni the sovereign to his servant? And David says, To chattel your threshingfloor; to build a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh to restrain the plague from the people.

And Aravnah says to David, O that my adoni the sovereign

take and offer up holocaust what seemeth be good unto him in his eyes: behold, here be see — oxen for burnt sacrifice holocaust, and threshing instruments sledges and other instruments of the oxen for wood timber. All these things did Araunah Aravnah, as a king sovereign, give unto the king sovereign. And Araunah Aravnah said unto the king sovereign, The L ORD Yah Veh thy God accept Elohim please thee. And the king sovereign said unto Araunah Aravnah, Nay; but in chatteling, I will surely buy shall chattel it of thee at a price: neither will shall I offer burnt offerings holocaust holocausts unto the L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim of that which doth cost me nothing be gratuitous. So David bought chatteled the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. And David built there an a sacrifice altar unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts and peace offerings shelamim. So the L ORD Yah Veh was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed restrained from Israel Yisra El

take and holocaust whatever is good in his eyes: see — oxen for holocaust and threshing sledges and instruments of the oxen for timber. 23

Aravnah gives all these — sovereign to sovereign: and Aravnah says to the sovereign, Yah Veh your Elohim is pleased of you.

And the sovereign says to Aravnah, No: but in chatteling, I chattel it from you at a price: I holocaust no holocausts to Yah Veh my Elohim of what is gratuitous. — and David chattels the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

And there David builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh and holocausts holocausts and shelamim: and Yah Veh is intreated for the land and the plague is restrained from Yisra El.

So Sadoq the priest and Nathan the prophet and Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada and the executioners and the couriers descend and ride Shelomoh on the mule of sovereign David and walk him to Gichon.

And Sadoq the priest takes a horn of oil from the tent and anoints Shelomoh: and they blast the shophar; and all the people say, Sovereign Shelomoh lives.

And moreover the king's sovereign's servants came to bless our lord king adoni sovereign David, saying, God make Elohim well—prepare the name of Solomon Shelomoh better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king sovereign bowed prostrated himself upon the bed.

And all the guests called that were with Adonijah Adoni Yah were afraid trembled, and rose up, and went every man his way. And Adonijah Adoni Yah feared because awed at the face of Solomon Shelomoh, and arose, and went, and caught hold held on the horns of the sacrifice altar. And it was told Solomon Shelomoh, saying, Behold, Adonijah Adoni Yah feareth king Solomon aweth sovereign Shelomoh: for, lo behold, he hath caught hold on the horns of the sacrifice altar, saying, Let king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh swear oath unto me to day that he will shall not slay deathify his servant with the sword. And Solomon Shelomoh said, If he will shall shew himself a worthy man son of valour, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness evil shall be found in him, he shall die.

and they ascend from there cheering — so that the city quakes — this is the voice you heard: and also, Shelomoh settles on the throne of the sovereigndom: and also, the servants of the sovereign come to bless our adoni sovereign David, saying, Elohim well—prepares the name of Shelomoh better than your name and makes his throne greater than your throne. And the sovereign prostrates himself on the bed: and thus also says the sovereign, Blessed — Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who gives one to settle on my throne this day — my eyes seeing. And all the called with Adoni Yah tremble and rise and every man goes his way: and Adoni Yah awes at the face of Shelomoh and rises and goes and holds on to the horns of the sacrifice altar.

And they tell Shelomoh, saying, Behold, Adoni Yah awes sovereign Shelomoh: for, behold, he holds on to the horns of the sacrifice altar, saying, O that sovereign Shelomoh oath to me today that he not deathify his servant with the sword.

And Shelomoh says, If he shows himself a son of valour, not a hair of his falls to the earth: but if evil is found in him, he dies.

So sovereign Shelomoh sends and they descend him from the sacrifice altar: and he comes and prostrates to sovereign Shelomoh: and Shelomoh says to him, Go to your house.

Do Work therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head grayness go down descend to the grave sheol in peace shalom. But shew kindness work mercy unto the sons of Barzillai Barzillay the Gileadite Giladiy, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came approached to me when I fled because from the face of Absalom Abi Shalom thy brother. And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei Shimi the son of Gera, a Benjamite Ben Yaminiy of Bahurim Bachurim, which cursed abased me with a grievous curse reinforced abasement in the day when I went to Mahanaim Machanayim: but he came down descended to meet me at Jordan Yarden, and I sware oathed to him by the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, I will shall not put deathify thee to death with the sword. Now therefore hold exonerate him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do work unto him; but his hoar head grayness bring thou down descend to the grave sheol with blood. So David slept laid with his fathers, and was buried entombed in the city of David. And the days that David reigned over Israel Yisra El were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. Then sat Solomon settled Shelomoh upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom sovereigndom was established greatly mightily. ADONI YAH APPROACHES BATH SHEBA And Adonijah Adoni Yah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba Bath Sheba the mother of Solomon Shelomoh. And she said, Comest thou peaceably in shalom? And he said, Peaceably In shalom. He said moreover, I have somewhat to say a word unto thee. And she said, Say Word on. And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom sovereigndom was mine, and that all Israel Yisra El set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom sovereigndom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the L ORD Yah Veh. And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me turn not away my face. And she said unto him, Say Word on. And he said, Speak Say, I pray thee, unto Solomon Shelomoh the king sovereign, (for he will shall not say thee nay turn away thy face,) that he give me Abishag Abi Shag the Shunammite Shunemiyth to wife woman. And Bathsheba Bath Sheba said, Well Good; I will speak shall word for thee unto the king sovereign. Bathsheba Bath Sheba therefore went unto king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh, to speak word unto him for Adonijah Adoni Yah. And the king sovereign rose up to meet her, and bowed prostrated himself unto her, and sat down settled on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's sovereign's mother; and she sat settled on his right hand. Then she said, I desire ask one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay Turn not away my face.

and to Amasa the son of Yether — whom he slaughtered and set the blood of war in shalom — and gave the blood of war on his girdle around his loins and in the shoes on his feet. 6 7

And work according to your wisdom that his grayness descend not to sheol in shalom: and work mercy to the sons of Barzillay the Giladiy to be of those who eat at your table: for thus they approached me when I fled the face of Abi Shalom your brother. And behold, you have with you Shimi the son of Gera, a Ben Yaminiy of Bachurim who abased me with a reinforced abasement the day I went to Machanayim: and he descended to meet me at Yarden and I oathed to him by Yah Veh, saying, I deathify you not with the sword.

And now exonerate him not: for you are a wise man and know what you ought to work to him; and his grayness descends to sheol with blood.

So David lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David: and the days David reigns over Yisra El are forty years: he reigns seven years in Hebron and reigns thirty—three years in Yeru Shalem: and Shelomoh settles on the throne of David his father; and his sovereigndom is established mightily.

ADONI YAH APPROACHES BATH SHEBA And Adoni Yah the son of Haggith comes to Bath Sheba the mother of Shelomoh: and she says, Come you in shalom? And he says, In shalom.

And he says, I have a word to you. And she says, Word on.

And he says, You know that the sovereigndom is mine and that all Yisra El set their faces on me to reign: howbeit the sovereigndom turns around and becomes to my brother — for it is his from Yah Veh. And now I ask one petition of you, turn not away my face. And she says to him, Word on.

And he says, Say, I pray you, to Shelomoh the sovereign, — for he turns not away your face — to give me Abi Shag the Shunemiyth to woman.

And Bath Sheba says, Good; I word for you to the sovereign.

And Bath Sheba goes to sovereign Shelomoh, to word to him for Adoni Yah: and the sovereign rises to meet her and prostrates himself to her and settles on his throne and sets a seat for the mother of the sovereign; and she settles at his right.

Then she says, I ask one small petition of you; Turn not away my face.

And the king sovereign said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will shall not say thee nay turn away thy face. And she said, Let Abishag Abi Shag the Shunammite Shunemiyth be given to Adonijah Adoni Yah thy brother to wife woman. And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag Abi Shag the Shunammite Shunemiyth for Adonijah Adoni Yah? ask for him the kingdom sovereigndom also; for he is mine elder my greater brother; even for him, and for Abiathar Abi Athar the priest, and for Joab Yah Ab the son of Zeruiah Seruyah. Then king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh sware oathed by the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, God do Elohim work so to me, and more add also, if Adonijah Adoni Yah have not spoken worded this word against his own life soul. Now therefore, as the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made worked me an house, as he promised worded, Adonijah Adoni Yah shall be put to death deathified this day. And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh sent by the hand of Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada; and he fell encountered upon him that he died. And unto Abiathar Abi Athar the priest said the king sovereign, Get thee Go to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy a man of death: but I will shall not at this time put thee to death deathify thee today, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD Adonay Yah Veh before at the face of David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted humbled in all wherein my father was afflicted humbled. So Solomon Shelomoh thrust out Abiathar expelled Abi Athar from being priest unto the L ORD Yah Veh; that he might fulfil the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. YAH AB IS DEATHIFIED Then tidings reports came to Joab Yah Ab: for Joab Yah Ab had turned spread after Adonijah Adoni Yah, though he turned spread not after Absalom Abi Shalom. And Joab Yah Ab fled unto the tabernacle tent of the L ORD Yah Veh, and caught hold on the horns of the sacrifice altar. And it was told king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh that Joab Yah Ab was fled unto the tabernacle tent of the L ORD Yah Veh; and, behold, he is by beside the sacrifice altar. Then Solomon Shelomoh sent Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada, saying, Go, fall encounter upon him. And Benaiah Bena Yah came to the tabernacle tent of the L ORD Yah Veh, and said unto him, Thus saith the king sovereign, Come forth Go. And he said, Nay; but I will shall die here. And Benaiah Bena Yah brought the king returned word again to the sovereign, saying, Thus said Joab worded Yah Ab, and thus he answered me. And the king sovereign said unto him, Do Work as he hath said worded, and fall encounter upon him, and bury entomb him; that thou mayest take away turn aside the innocent gratuitous blood, which Joab shed Yah Ab poured, from me,

And the sovereign says to her, Ask, my mother: for I turn not away your face. 21

And she says, O that Abi Shag the Shunemiyth be given to Adoni Yah your brother to woman.

And sovereign Shelomoh answers and says to his mother, And why ask you Abi Shag the Shunemiyth for Adoni Yah? Ask you the sovereigndom for him also? For he is my greater brother; even for him and for Abi Athar the priest and for Yah Ab the son of Seruyah.

Then sovereign Shelomoh oaths by Yah Veh, saying, Elohim work thus to me and add also if Adoni Yah words not this word against his own soul: and now, Yah Veh lives, who established me and set me on the throne of David my father — who works me a house as he worded, Adoni Yah is deathified this day.

And sovereign Shelomoh sends by the hand of Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada; and he encounters on him that he dies.

And the sovereign says to Abi Athar the priest, Go to Anathoth — to your own fields; for you are a man of death: but I deathify you not today, because you bore the ark of Adonay Yah Veh at the face of David my father — being humbled in all wherein my father was humbled.

So Shelomoh expels Abi Athar from being priest to Yah Veh; to fulfill the word Yah Veh worded concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

YAH AB IS DEATHIFIED And reports come to Yah Ab: for Yah Ab spread after Adoni Yah though he spread not after Abi Shalom: and Yah Ab flees to the tent of Yah Veh and holds on the horns of the sacrifice altar. And they tell sovereign Shelomoh, Yah Ab flees to the tent of Yah Veh; and behold, beside the sacrifice altar. Then Shelomoh sends Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada saying, Go, encounter him.

And Bena Yah comes to the tent of Yah Veh and says to him, Thus says the sovereign, Go. And he says, No; but here I die. And Bena Yah returns word to the sovereign, saying, Thus Yah Ab words and thus he answers me.

And the sovereign says to him, Work as he worded and encounter him and entomb him; to turn aside the gratuitous blood Yah Ab poured from me

And the LORD Yah Veh shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon encountered two men more righteous just and better than he, and slew slaughtered them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner Abi Ner the son of Ner, captain governor of the host of Israel Yisra El, and Amasa the son of Jether Yether, captain governor of the host of Judah Yah Hudah. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab Yah Ab, and upon the head of his seed for ever eternally: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever shalom eternally from the L ORD Yah Veh. So Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada went up ascended, and fell upon encountered him, and slew deathified him: and he was buried entombed in his own house in the wilderness. And the king sovereign put Benaiah gave Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada in his room stead over the host: and Zadok Sadoq the priest did the king put sovereign give in the room stead of Abiathar Abi Athar. SHIMI IS DEATHIFIED And the king sovereign sent and called for Shimei Shimi, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and dwell settle there, and go not forth thence any whither where. For so be it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron wadi Qidron, in knowing, thou shalt know for certain that in dying, thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head. And Shimei Shimi said unto the king sovereign, The saying word is good: as my lord adoni the king sovereign hath said worded, so will shall thy servant do work. And Shimei dwelt Shimi settled in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem many days. And so be it came to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei Shimi ran away fled unto Achish son of Maachah king sovereign of Gath. And they told Shimei Shimi, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath. And Shimei Shimi arose, and saddled harnessed his ass he burro, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei Shimi went, and brought his servants from Gath. And it was told Solomon Shelomoh that Shimei Shimi had gone from Jerusalem Yeru Shalem to Gath, and was come again returned. And the king sovereign sent and called for Shimei Shimi, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear oath by the L ORD Yah Veh, and protested witnessed unto thee, saying, In knowing, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither where, that in dying, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good. Why then hast thou not kept guarded the oath of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the commandment misvah that I have charged misvahed thee with? The king sovereign said moreover to Shimei Shimi, Thou knowest all the wickedness evil which thine heart is privy to perceiveth, that thou didst workedst to David my father:

and from the house of my father; and Yah Veh returns his blood on his own head — who encountered two men more just and better than he and slaughtered them with the sword my father David not knowing thereof — Abi Ner the son of Ner governor of the host of Yisra El and Amasa the son of Yether governor of the host of Yah Hudah: their blood returns on the head of Yah Ab and on the head of his seed eternally: but on David and on his seed and on his house and on his throne, there is shalom eternally from Yah Veh. So Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada ascends and encounters him and deathifies him: and he is entombed in his own house in the wilderness: and the sovereign gives Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada over the host in his stead: and the sovereign gives Sadoq the priest in the stead of Abi Athar. SHIMI IS DEATHIFIED And the sovereign sends and calls for Shimi and says to him, Build yourself a house in Yeru Shalem and settle there; and go not anywhere: and so be it, the day you go and pass over the wadi Qidron, in knowing, know that in dying, you die: your blood being on your own head.

And Shimi says to the sovereign, Good word! As my adoni the sovereign words, thus your servant works. — and Shimi settles in Yeru Shalem many days.

And so be it, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimi flee to Achish son of Maachah sovereign of Gath. And Shimi is told, saying, Behold, your servants are in Gath.

therefore the L ORD Yah Veh shall return thy wickedness evil upon thine own head; And king Solomon shall be blessed blessed be sovereign Shelomoh, and the throne of David shall be established established be the throne of David before the L ORD for ever at the face of Yah Veh eternally. So the king commanded sovereign misvahed Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada; which went out, and fell encountered upon him, that he died. And the kingdom sovereigndom was established in the hand of Solomon Shelomoh. SHELOMOH REQUESTS WISDOM And Solomon made affinity Shelomoh intermarried with Pharaoh Paroh, king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim, and took Pharaoh's Paroh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of finished building his own house, and the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem round about. Only the people sacrificed in high places bamahs, because there was no house built unto the name of the L ORD Yah Veh, until those days. And Solomon Shelomoh loved the L ORD Yah Veh, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense incensed in high places bamahs. And the king sovereign went to Gibeon Gibon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place bamah: a thousand burnt offerings holocausts did Solomon offer Shelomoh holocausted upon that sacrifice altar. In Gibeon Gibon, the L ORD Yah Veh appeared to Solomon was seen by Shelomoh in a dream by night: and God Elohim said, Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon Shelomoh said, Thou hast shewed worked unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee at thy face in truth, and in righteousness justness, and in uprightness straightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept guarded for him this great kindness mercy, that thou hast given him a son to sit settle on his throne, as it is this day. And now, O L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, thou hast made thy servant king reign instead of David my father: and I am but a little child lad: I know not how to go out or come in. And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted scribed for multitude abundance. Give therefore thy servant an understanding a hearing heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad evil: for who is able to judge this thy so great a grievous people? And the speech word pleased the Lord well—pleased the eyes of Adonay, that Solomon Shelomoh had asked this thing word. And God Elohim said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing word, and hast not asked for thyself long life many days; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life soul of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding discernment to discern hear judgment; Behold, I have done worked according to thy words: lo behold, I have given thee a wise and an understanding discerning heart; so that there was none like thee before thee at thy face,

and Yah Veh returns your evil on your own head: and blessed — sovereign Shelomoh, and established is the throne of David at the face of Yah Veh eternally. So the sovereign misvahs Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada; who goes out and encounters him that he dies. And the sovereigndom is established in the hand of Shelomoh. SHELOMOH REQUESTS WISDOM And Shelomoh intermarries with Paroh sovereign of Misrayim; and takes the daughter of Paroh and brings her into the city of David until he finishes building his own house and the house of Yah Veh and the wall of Yeru Shalem all around: only, the people sacrifice in bamahs because of no house being built to the name of Yah Veh until those days: and Shelomoh loves Yah Veh walking in the statutes of David his father: only, he sacrifices and incenses in bamahs: and the sovereign goes to Gibon to sacrifice there; for that is the great bamah: Shelomoh holocausts a thousand holocausts on that sacrifice altar.

In Gibon Yah Veh is seen by Shelomoh in a dream by night: and Elohim says, Ask what I give you.

And Shelomoh says, You worked great mercy to your servant David my father according as he walked at your face in truth and in justness and in straightness of heart with you: and you guarded this great mercy for him in that you gave him a son to settle on his throne as this day: and now, O Yah Veh my Elohim, you have your servant reign in the stead of David my father: and I am a little lad: I know not to go out or come in: and your servant is midst your people whom you chose — a great people that can neither be numbered nor scribed for abundance: give your servant a hearing heart to judge your people — to discern between good and evil: for who is able to judge this — your grievous people? — and the word well—pleases the eyes of Adonay that Shelomoh asks this word.

And Elohim says to him, Because you ask this word and neither ask many days for yourself, nor ask riches for yourself, nor ask the soul of your enemies; but ask for yourself discernment to hear judgment behold, I work according to your words: behold, I give you a wise and discerning heart; so that neither is any like you at your face

And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any be no man among the kings sovereigns like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt shalt walk in my ways, to keep guard my statutes and my commandments mitsvoth, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen shall prolong thy days. And Solomon Shelomoh awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and stood before at the face of the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh, and offered up burnt offerings holocausted holocausts, and offered peace offerings worked shelamim, and made worked a feast to all his servants. THE FIRST CASE OF SHELOMOH Then came there two women, that were harlots — whores, unto the king sovereign, and stood before him at his face. And the one woman said, O my lord adoni, I and this woman dwell settle in one house; and I was delivered of a child birthed with her in the house. And so be it came to pass, the third day after that I was delivered birthed, that this woman was delivered birthed also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save except we two in the house. And this woman's child son died in the night; because she overlaid layed down upon it. And she arose at midnight in the middle of the night, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid thy maid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child son in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck suckle my son, behold, it was dead had died: but when I had considered discerned it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear birth. And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake worded before at the face of the king sovereign. THE FIRST J UDGMENT OF SHELOMOH Then said the king sovereign, The This one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other that saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king sovereign said, Bring Take me a sword. And they brought a sword before at the face of the king sovereign. And the king sovereign said, Divide Cut the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other one. Then spake said the woman whose the living child son was unto the king sovereign, for her bowels mercies yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord adoni, give her the living child live birthed, and in no wise slay it deathifying, deathify it not. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide cut it. Then the king sovereign answered and said, Give her the living child live birthed, and in no wise slay it in deathifying, deathify it not: she is the mother thereof. And all Israel Yisra El heard of the judgment

nor any rise like you after you: and I also give you what you ask not — both riches and honor: so that there be no man among the sovereigns as you all your days: and if you walk in my ways to guard my statutes and my misvoth as your father David walked, then I prolong your days. And Shelomoh wakens; and behold — a dream: and he comes to Yeru Shalem and stands at the face of the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh and holocausts holocausts and works shelamim and works a feast to all his servants. THE FIRST CASE OF SHELOMOH And two women — whores come to the sovereign and stand at his face: and the one woman says, O my adoni, I and this woman settle in one house; and I birthed with her in the house: and so be it, the third day after I birthed, this woman also birthed: and we are together — no stranger with us in the house except we two in the house: and the son of this woman dies in the night; because she lies down on it: and she rises in the middle of the night and takes my son from beside me while your maid sleeps and lays it in her bosom; and lays her dead son in my bosom: and when I rise in the morning to suckle my son behold, it died: and I discern in the morning, and behold, it is not my son, whom I birthed. And the other woman says, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. And this one says, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. — and they word at the face of the sovereign.

THE FIRST J UDGMENT OF SHELOMOH Then the sovereign says, This one says, This is my son who lives, and your son is the dead: and that one says, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living.

And the sovereign says, Take me a sword. — and they bring a sword at the face of the sovereign.

And the sovereign says, Cut the living child in two; and give half to the one and half to the one.

Then the woman whose son is the living says to the sovereign — for her mercies yearned upon her son and she says, O my adoni, give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not. And the other said, O that it neither be mine nor yours! Cut!

And the sovereign answers and says, Give her the live birthed one; and in deathifying, deathify it not: she is the mother thereof.

for Hiram was ever all days a lover of David. And Solomon Shelomoh sent to Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim for at the face of the wars which were about surrounded him on every side, until the L ORD Yah Veh put gave them under the soles of his feet. But now the L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim hath given me rest on every side round about, so that there is neither adversary a satan nor evil occurrent incident. And, behold, I purpose said to build an house unto the name of the L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, as the L ORD spake Yah Veh worded unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set shall give upon thy throne in thy room stead, he shall build an house unto my name. Now therefore command misvah thou that they hew cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will shall I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any a man that can skill knoweth to hew cut timber like unto the Sidonians Sidoniy. And so be it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon Shelomoh, that he rejoiced greatly cheered mightily, and said, Blessed be the L ORD Yah Veh this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. And Hiram sent to Solomon Shelomoh, saying, I have considered the things heard those which thou sentest to me for: and I will do shall work all thy desire delight concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir cypress. My servants shall bring descend them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey shall set them by sea in floats rafts unto the place that thou shalt appoint send me, and will shall cause them to be discharged scattered there, and thou shalt receive lift them: and thou shalt accomplish work my desire delight, in giving food bread for my household. So Hiram gave Solomon Shelomoh cedar trees and fir cypress trees according to all his desire delight. And Solomon Shelomoh gave Hiram twenty thousand measures kors of wheat for food nourishment to his household, and twenty measures kors of pure pestled oil: thus gave Solomon Shelomoh to Hiram year by year. And the LORD Yah Veh gave Solomon Shelomoh wisdom, as he promised worded him: and there was peace shalom between Hiram and Solomon between Shelomoh; and they two made cut a league covenant together. DRAFTING THE VASSAL And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh raised ascended a levy vassal out of all Israel Yisra El; and the levy vassal was thirty thousand men. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses changes: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home their house: and Adoniram Adoni Ram was over the levy vassal. And Solomon Shelomoh had threescore and ten seventy thousand that bare burdens burdenbearers, and fourscore eighty thousand hewers in the mountains; Beside the chief governor of Solomon's officers Shelomoh's stationed which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred,

— for Hiram was all days a lover of David. 2 3

And Shelomoh sends to Hiram, saying, You know how David my father could not build a house to the name of Yah Veh his Elohim at the face of the wars surrounding him on every side, until Yah Veh gave them under the soles of his feet: and now Yah Veh my Elohim gives me rest all around so that there is neither a satan nor evil incident.

And behold, I say to build a house to the name of Yah Veh my Elohim, as Yah Veh worded to David my father, saying, Your son whom I give upon your throne in your stead, he builds a house to my name.

And now you misvah them to cut me cedar trees from Lebanon: and my servants be with your servants; and I give you hire for your servants according to all you say: for you know there is not among us a man who knows to cut timber as the Sidoniy.

And so be it, Hiram hears the words of Shelomoh, and he cheers mightily, and says, Blessed — Yah Veh this day who gives David a wise son over this great people.

And Hiram sends to Shelomoh, saying, I heard what you sent me: I work all your delight concerning timber of cedar and concerning timber of cypress: my servants descend them from Lebanon to the sea: and I set them by sea in rafts to the place you send me and scatter them there; and you lift them and work my delight by giving bread for my household.

And Hiram gives Shelomoh cedar trees and cypress trees according to all his delight: and Shelomoh gives Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat — nourishment to his household and twenty kors of pestled oil: thus Shelomoh gives to Hiram year by year. And Yah Veh gives Shelomoh wisdom as he worded him: and there is shalom between Hiram and between Shelomoh; and the two cut a covenant. DRAFTING THE VASSAL And sovereign Shelomoh ascends a vassal from all Yisra El; and the vassal is thirty thousand men: and he sends them to Lebanon — ten thousand a month by changes: a month in Lebanon and two months at their house: and Adoni Ram is over the vassal.

which ruled subjugated over the people that wrought worked in the work. And the king commanded sovereign misvahed, and they brought pulled great stones, costly precious stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. And Solomon's Shelomoh's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers Gibliy sculpted: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house. THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it came to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children sons of Israel Yisra El were come gone out of the land of Egypt Misrayim, in the fourth year of Solomon's Shelomoh's reign over Israel Yisra El, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the house which king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh built for the L ORD Yah Veh, the length thereof was threescore sixty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits. And the porch before at the face of the temple manse of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to at the face of the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before at the face of the house. And for the house he made windows worked lookouts of narrow shuttered lights. And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple manse and of the oracle pulpit: and he made chambers worked ribs round about: The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests gave ledges round about, that the beams should not be fastened not held in the walls of the house. And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither which they did shalam at the quarry: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool instrument of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. The door portal for the middle chamber rib was in the right side shoulder of the house: and they went up ascended with winding spiral stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third. So he built the house, and finished it; and covered cieled the house with beams carvings and boards shingles of cedar. And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested took hold on the house with timber of cedar. And the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to Solomon Shelomoh, saying, Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt shalt walk in my statutes, and execute work my judgments, and keep guard all my commandments misvoth to walk in them; then will shall I perform raise my word with thee, which I spake worded unto David thy father: And I will dwell shall tabernacle among the children sons of Israel Yisra El, and will shall not forsake my people Israel Yisra El. So Solomon Shelomoh built the house, and finished it. And he built the walls of the house within with boards ribs of cedar,

who subjugate the people who work the work. 17

And the sovereign misvahs and they pull great stones — precious stones and hewed stones to lay the foundation of the house: and the builders of Shelomoh and the builders of Hiram and the sculpters of Gibliy prepare timber and stones to build the house. THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it, in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Yisra El go from the land of Misrayim — in the fourth year of the reign of Shelomoh over Yisra El — the month Zif — the second month he begins to build the house of Yah Veh. And the house sovereign Shelomoh builds for Yah Veh, sixty cubits long and twenty wide and thirty cubits high; and the porch at the face of the manse of the house, twenty cubits long at the face of the width of the house, and ten cubits wide at the face of the house. And for the house he works lookouts of shuttered lights: and against the wall of the house he builds chambers all around against the walls of the house — all around the manse and the pulpit: and he works ribs all around: the nethermost chamber, five cubits wide; and the middle, six cubits wide; and the third, seven cubits wide: and outside the house he gives ledges all around not held to the walls of the house.

And in building, the house is built of stone which they shalam at the quarry: so that, in building, they hear neither hammer nor axe nor instrument of iron in the house.

The portal for the middle rib is in the right shoulder of the house: and they ascend with spiral stairs to the middle, and from the middle to the third.

And he builds the house; and finishes and ciels the house with carvings and shingles of cedar: and he builds chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they hold on the house with timber of cedar.

both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered overlaid them on the inside house with wood timber, and covered overlaid the floor of the house with planks ribs of fir cypress. And he built twenty cubits on the sides flanks of the house, both from the floor and to the walls with boards ribs of cedar: he even built them for it within a house, even for the oracle pulpit, even for the most holy place Holy of Holies. And the house, that is, the temple before it manse at the face in front, was forty cubits long. And the cedar of the house within was carved were carvings with knops knobs and open flowers blossoms: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. And the oracle pulpit he prepared in the midst of the house within, to set give there the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the oracle in the forepart face of the pulpit was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure concentrated gold; and so covered overlaid the sacrifice altar which was of with cedar. So Solomon Shelomoh overlaid the house within with pure concentrated gold: and he made a partition an overpass by the chains of gold before at the face of the oracle pulpit; and he overlaid it with gold. And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished consummated all the house: also the whole sacrifice altar that was by the oracle pulpit he overlaid with gold. And within the oracle pulpit he made worked two cherubims cherubim of olive oil tree, each ten cubits high. And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other second wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part end of the one wing unto the uttermost part end of the other wing were ten cubits. And the other second cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims cherubim were of one measure and one size shape. The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other thus the second cherub. And he set gave the cherubims cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched spread forth the wings of the cherubims cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other second cherub touched the other second wall; and their wings touched one another wing to wing in the midst of the house. And he overlaid the cherubims cherubim with gold. And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures carvings of cherubims cherubim and palm trees and open flowers blossoms, within and without. And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without. And for the entering portal of the oracle pulpit he made worked doors of olive oil tree: the lintel pilaster and side posts were a fifth part of the wall. The two doors also were of olive oil tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims cherubim and palm trees and open flowers blossoms, and overlaid them with gold, and spread overlaid gold upon the cherubims cherubim, and upon the palm trees.

— both the floor of the house and the walls of the ceiling: and he overlays them on the house with timber and overlays the floor of the house with ribs of cypress: and he builds twenty cubits on the flanks of the house from the floor to the walls with ribs of cedar: he even builds a house for the pulpit — for the Holy of Holies. And the house — the manse at the face in front, forty cubits; and the cedar inside the house are carvings with knobs and open blossoms; all cedar; no stone is seen. And he prepares the pulpit midst the house inside, to give there the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh: and the face of the pulpit, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and twenty cubits high; and he overlays it with concentrated gold; and overlays the sacrifice altar with cedar. And Shelomoh overlays the house inside with concentrated gold; and he makes an overpass by the chains of gold at the face of the pulpit; and he overlays it with gold: and he overlays the whole house with gold until he consummates all the house: and he overlays the whole sacrifice altar by the pulpit with gold; and inside the pulpit he works two cherubim of oil tree, ten cubits high: and the one wing of the cherub, five cubits and the second wing of the cherub, five cubits — ten cubits from the end of the wing to the end of the wing. And the second cherub, ten cubits; both cherubim of one measure and one shape: the height of the one cherub, ten cubits; and thus the second cherub: and he gives the cherubim inside the inner house; and they spread the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touches the one wall; and the wing of the second cherub touches the second wall; and their wings touch wing to wing midst the house: and he overlays the cherubim with gold.

So also made worked he for the door opening of the temple manse posts of olive oil tree, a fourth part of the wall. And the two doors were of fir cypress tree: the two leaves ribs of the one door were folding, and the two leaves hangings of the other second door were folding. And he carved thereon cherubims cherubim and palm trees and open flowers blossoms: and covered overlaid them with gold fitted straight upon the carved engraved work. And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams. In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh laid, in the month Zif: And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul Buwl, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts word thereof, and according to all the fashion judgment of it. So was he seven years in building it. THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE OF SHELOMOH But Solomon Shelomoh was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. And it was covered cieled with cedar above upon the beams ribs, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. And there were windows lookouts in three rows, and light window was against light window in three ranks steps. And all the doors portals and posts were square, with the windows lookouts: and light window was against light window in three ranks steps. And he made worked a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them at their face: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them at their face. Then he made worked a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered cieled with cedar from one side of the floor to the other floor to floor. And his house where he dwelt settled had another court within to house the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made Shelomoh worked also an house for Pharaoh's Paroh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. All these were of costly precious stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without the house, even from the foundation unto the coping support, and so on the outside toward the great court. And the foundation was of costly precious stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. And above were costly precious stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and for the porch of the house.

And he builds the inner court with three rows of hewed stone and a row of cedar beams.

it contained two thousand baths. And he made worked ten bases of brass copper; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. And the work of the bases was on this manner thus: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims cherubim: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made wreaths of thin festoon work. And every one base had four brasen copper wheels, and plates axles of brass copper: and the four corners supports thereof had undersetters shoulder pieces: under the laver were undersetters molten shoulder pieces poured, at the side of every addition each man a wreath. And the mouth of it within housing the chapiter cap and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and a half a cubit: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings carvings with their borders, foursquare, not round. And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees hands of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a one wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees hands, and their naves rims, and their felloes spokes, and their spokes hubs, were all molten poured. And there were four undersetters shoulder pieces to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters shoulder pieces were of the very base itself. And in the top of the base was there a round compass round about of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges hands thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. For on the plates slabs of the ledges hands thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved engraved cherubims cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion nakedness of every one man, and additions wreaths round about. After this manner Thus he made worked the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size shape. Then made worked he ten lavers of brass copper: one laver contained forty baths: and every one laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. And he put gave five bases on the right side shoulder of the house, and five on the left side shoulder of the house: and he set gave the sea on the right side shoulder of the house eastward over against toward the south.

And he works ten bases of copper; one base, four cubits long and four cubits wide and three cubits high: and the work of the bases is thus: with borders; and borders between the ledges; and on the borders between the ledges: lions, oxen and cherubim: and on the ledges, a base above: and the lions and oxen below of wreaths of festoon work: and one base has four copper wheels and axles of copper; and the four supports have shoulder pieces: under the laver, shoulder pieces poured with a wreath at the side of each man: and the mouth of it houses the cap and above, a cubit: and the mouth is round after the work of the base, a cubit and half a cubit: and also on the mouth of it are carvings with their borders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; foursquare, not round: and under the borders, four wheels; and the hands of the wheels, to the base: and one wheel, a cubit and half a cubit high: and the work of the wheels as the work of a chariot wheel: their hands and their rims and their spokes and their hubs, all poured: and there are four shoulder pieces to the four corners of one base: and the shoulder pieces are of the very base itself: and in the top of the base all around, half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the hands and the borders of the same: and on the slabs of the hands and on the borders he engraves cherubim lions and palm trees according to the nakedness of man and wreaths all around.

In the plain environs of Jordan Yarden did the king cast sovereign pour them, in the clay ground compacted soil between Succoth Sukkoth/Brush Arbors and between Zarthan Sarethan. And Solomon Shelomoh left set all the vessels instruments unweighed, because they were exceeding many for the mighty mighty abundance: neither was the weight of the brass copper found out probed. And Solomon Shelomoh made worked all the vessels instruments that pertained unto be in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: the sacrifice altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread face bread was, And the candlesticks menorahs of pure concentrated gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before at the face of the oracle pulpit, with the flowers blossoms, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, And the bowls basons, and the snuffers tweezers, and the basons sprinklers, and the spoons bowls, and the censers trays of pure concentrated gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place Holy of Holies, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple manse. So was ended all the work shalamed that king Solomon made sovereign Shelomoh worked for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And Solomon Shelomoh brought in the things which holies of David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels instruments, did he put give among the treasures of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. THE ARK IN THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH Then Solomon Shelomoh assembled congregated the elders of Israel Yisra El, and all the heads of the tribes rods, the chief hierarchs of the fathers of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, unto king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that they might bring up ascend the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh out of the city of David, which is Zion Siyon. And all the men of Israel Yisra El assembled themselves congregated unto king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh at the feast celebration in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. And all the elders of Israel Yisra El came, and the priests took up lifted the ark. And they brought up ascended the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the tabernacle tent of the congregation, and all the holy vessels instruments that were in the tabernacle tent, even those did the priests and the Levites Leviym bring up ascend.

In the environs of Yarden the sovereign poured them, in the compacted soil between Sukkoth/Brush Arbors and between Sarethan: and Shelomoh set all the instruments for the mighty mighty abundance: and they probe not the weight of the copper. And Shelomoh works all the instruments in the house of Yah Veh: the sacrifice altar of gold and the table of gold, whereon is the face bread, and the menorahs of concentrated gold — five at the right and five at the left at the face of the pulpit, with the blossoms and the lamps and the tongs of gold; and the basons and the tweezers and the sprinklers and the bowls and the trays of concentrated gold; and the hinges of gold for the doors of the inner house — the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the manse.

And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh unto his place, into the oracle pulpit of the house, to the most holy place Holy of Holies, even under the wings of the cherubims cherubim. For the cherubims cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above. And they drew out lengthened the staves, that the ends heads of the staves were seen out in the holy place holies before at the face of the oracle pulpit, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day. There was nothing naught in the ark save only the two tables slabs of stone, which Moses put Mosheh set there at Horeb, when the L ORD made a covenant Yah Veh cut with the children sons of Israel Yisra El, when they came went out of the land of Egypt Misrayim. And so be it came to pass, when the priests were come gone out of the holy place holies, that the cloud filled the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, So that the priests could not stand to minister because at the face of the cloud: for the glory honour of the L ORD Yah Veh had filled the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. Then spake Solomon said Shelomoh, The L ORD Yah Veh said that he would dwell should tabernacle in the thick dripping darkness. In building, I have surely built thee an house to dwell reside in, a settled place an establishment for thee to abide settle in for ever eternally. And the king sovereign turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel Yisra El: (and all the congregation of Israel Yisra El stood;) And he said, Blessed be the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, which spake worded with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel Yisra El out of Egypt Misrayim, I chose no city out of all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel Yisra El. And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto David my father, Whereas Because it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well good that it was in thine heart. Nevertheless Only thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come go forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. And the LORD Yah Veh hath performed raised his word that he spake worded, and I am risen up in the room stead of David my father, and sit settle on the throne of Israel Yisra El, as the L ORD promised Yah Veh worded, and have built an house for the name of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El. And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he made cut with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt Misrayim.

And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh to his place — to the pulpit of the house — to the Holy of Holies under the wings of the cherubim: for the cherubim spread their two wings over the place of the ark; and the cherubim cover over the ark and over the staves from above: and they lengthen the staves so that the heads of the staves are seen in the holies at the face of the pulpit but they are not seen outside; and there they are to this day: — naught is inside the ark only, the two slabs of stone Mosheh set there at Horeb when Yah Veh cut with the sons of Yisra El as they came from the land of Misrayim. And so be it, the priests come from the holies; and the cloud fills the house of Yah Veh so that the priests cannot stand to minister at the face of the cloud: for the honor of Yah Veh fills the house of Yah Veh. Then Shelomoh says, Yah Veh says to tabernacle in the dripping darkness: in building, I built you a house — a residence; an establishment for you to settle in eternally. And the sovereign turns his face around and blesses all the congregation of Yisra El: and all the congregation of Yisra El stands; and he says, Blessed — Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who worded with his mouth to David my father and fulfills his hand, saying, Since the day I brought my people Yisra El from Misrayim, I chose no city from all the scions of Yisra El to build a house for my name to be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Yisra El. And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. And Yah Veh says to David my father, Because it is in your heart to build a house to my name, you do good that it is in your heart: only, you build not the house; but your son who comes from your loins — he builds the house to my name. And Yah Veh raises the word he worded and I rise in the stead of David my father and settle on the throne of Yisra El as Yah Veh worded; and build a house for the name of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: and there I set a place for the ark wherein is the covenant of Yah Veh which he cut with our fathers when he brought them from the land of Misrayim.

The L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us: That he may incline spread our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep guard his commandments misvoth, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded misvahed our fathers. And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication besought before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, be near unto the L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim day and night, that he maintain work the cause judgment of his servant, and the cause judgment of his people Israel Yisra El at all times the day by day word, as the matter word shall require: That all the people of the earth may know that the L ORD Yah Veh is God Elohim, and that there is — none else. Let And so be your heart therefore be perfect at shalom with the L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim, to walk in his statutes, and to keep guard his commandments misvoth, as at this day. THE HANUKKAH And the king sovereign, and all Israel Yisra El with him, offered sacrificed sacrifice before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. And Solomon offered Shelomoh sacrificed a sacrifice of peace offerings shelamim, which he offered sacrificed unto the L ORD Yah Veh, two and twenty thousand oxen,

you gave their fathers — the city you chose and the house I built for your name: then hear their prayer and their supplication in the heavens the place of your settlement and work their judgment; and forgive your people who sinned against you and all the rebellions they rebelled against you and give them mercies at the face of their captors that they mercy them: for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought from Misrayim from midst the furnace of iron: that your eyes be open to the supplication of your servant and to the supplication of your people Yisra El; to hearken to them in all they call to you.

For you separated them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance as you worded by the hand of Mosheh your servant when you brought our fathers from Misrayim, O Adonay Yah Veh.

And so be it, Shelomoh finishes praying all this prayer and supplication to Yah Veh; and he rises from the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh — from bowing on his knees with his palms spread to the heavens: and he stands and blesses all the congregation of Yisra El with a great voice, saying, Blessed — Yah Veh who gives rest to his people Yisra El according to all he words: there falls not one word of all the good words he worded by the hand of Mosheh his servant. Yah Veh our Elohim is with us as he was with our fathers: he neither leaves us nor forsakes us: to spread our hearts to him to walk in all his ways and to guard his misvoth and his statutes and his judgments which he misvahed our fathers. And may these words I beseech at the face of Yah Veh be near Yah Veh our Elohim day and night; that he work the judgment of his servant and the judgment of his people Yisra El the day by day word, as the word requires: that all the people of the earth may know that Yah Veh is Elohim — no one else. And so be your heart at shalom with Yah Veh our Elohim — to walk in his statutes and to guard his misvoth as at this day.

and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep flocks. So the king sovereign and all the children sons of Israel Yisra El dedicated hanukkahed the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. The same day did the king sovereign hallow the middle of the court that was before at the face the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: for there he offered burnt offerings worked holocausts, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings shelamim: because the brasen copper sacrifice altar that was before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh was too little to receive contain the burnt offerings holocausts, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings shelamim. And at that time Solomon held Shelomoh worked a feast celebration, and all Israel Yisra El with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river wadi of Egypt Misrayim, before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh our God Elohim, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days. On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king sovereign, and went unto their tents joyful cheerful and glad good of heart for all the goodness that the L ORD Yah Veh had done worked for David his servant, and for Israel Yisra El his people. YAH VEH IS SEEN BY SHELOMOH And so be it came to pass, when Solomon Shelomoh had finished the building of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the king's sovereign's house, and all Solomon's Shelomoh's desire which he was pleased delighted to do work, That the L ORD Yah Veh appeared to Solomon was seen by Shelomoh the second time, as he had appeared unto was seen by him at Gibeon Gibon. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me besought at my face: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put set my name there for ever eternally; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually all days. And if thou wilt shalt walk before me at my face, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness straightness, to do work according to all that I have commanded misvahed thee, and wilt keep shalt guard my statutes and my judgments: Then I will establish shall raise the throne of thy kingdom sovereigndom upon Israel for ever Yisra El eternally, as I promised worded to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail be cut off from thee a man upon the throne of Israel Yisra El. But if in turning, ye shall at all turn from following after me, ye or your children sons, and will shall not keep guard my commandments misvoth and my statutes which I have set before you given at thy face, but go and serve other gods elohim, and worship prostrate to them: Then will shall I cut off Israel Yisra El out from the face of the land soil which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight shall I send away from my face; and Israel Yisra El shall be a proverb and a byword gibe among all people: And at this house, which is high Elyon,

and a hundred and twenty thousand flocks. Thus the sovereign and all the sons of Yisra El hanukkah the house of Yah Veh. 64

On the same day, the sovereign hallows the middle of the court at the face the house of Yah Veh: for there he works holocausts and offerings and the fat of the shelamim: because the copper sacrifice altar at the face of Yah Veh is too little to contain the holocausts and offerings and the fat of the shelamim.

And at that time Shelomoh works a celebration — and all Yisra El with him — a great congregation from the entering in of Hamath to the wadi of Misrayim at the face of Yah Veh our Elohim — seven days and seven days — fourteen days. On the eighth day he sends the people away: and they bless the sovereign and go to their tents cheerful and good of heart for all the goodness Yah Veh worked for David his servant and for Yisra El his people.

YAH VEH IS SEEN BY SHELOMOH And so be it, Shelomoh finishes building the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign and all the desire Shelomoh delights to work: and Yah Veh is seen by Shelomoh the second time, as he was seen by him at Gibon. And Yah Veh says to him, I heard the prayer and your supplication you besought at my face: I hallowed this house you built to set my name there eternally; my eyes and my heart being there all days. And you, if you walk at my face, as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in straightness; to work according to all I misvah you and guard my statutes and my judgments; then I raise the throne of your sovereigndom on Yisra El eternally, as I worded to David your father, saying, There is not cut off from you a man on the throne of Yisra El. But if in turning, you turn from after me — you or your sons and guard not my misvoth and my statutes which I give at your face, and go and serve other elohim and prostrate to them; then I cut Yisra El from the face of the soil I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I send from my face; and Yisra El becomes a proverb and gibe among all people: and at this house, Elyon,

every one that passeth by it shall be astonished desolated, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the L ORD done Yah Veh worked thus unto this land, and to this house? And they shall answer say, Because they forsook the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt Misrayim, and have taken hold upon other gods elohim, and have worshipped prostrated to them, and served them: therefore hath the L ORD Yah Veh brought upon them all this evil. And so be it came to pass, at the end of twenty years, when Solomon Shelomoh had built the two houses, the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the king's sovereign's house, (Now Hiram the king sovereign of Tyre Sor had furnished Solomon loaded Shelomoh with cedar trees and fir cypress trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee Galiyl. And Hiram came out went from Tyre Sor to see the cities which Solomon Shelomoh had given him; and they pleased him not were not straight in his eyes. And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul Kabul unto this day. And Hiram sent to the king sovereign sixscore talents an hundred and twenty rounds of gold. And this is the reason word of the levy vassal which king Solomon raised sovereign Shelomoh lifted; for to build the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and Hazor Hasor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. For Pharaoh Paroh, king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim had gone up ascended, and taken captured Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain slaughtered the Canaanites Kenaaniy that dwelt settled in the city, and given it for a present dowries unto his daughter, Solomon's wife Shelomoh's woman. And Solomon Shelomoh built Gezer, and Bethhoron Beth Horon the nether, And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, And all the cities of store storage that Solomon Shelomoh had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen cavalry, and that which Solomon the desire of Shelomoh that he desired to build in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion reign. And all the people that were left remained of the Amorites Emoriy, Hittites Hethiy, Perizzites Perizziy, Hivites Hivviy, and Jebusites Yebusiy, which were not of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, Their children sons that were left remained after them in the land, whom the children sons of Israel Yisra El also were not able utterly to destroy to devote, upon those did Solomon Shelomoh levy a tribute ascend a vassal of bondservice service unto this day. But of the children sons of Israel Yisra El did Solomon make Shelomoh gave no bondmen servants: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes governors, and his captains tertiaries, and rulers governors of his chariots, and his horsemen cavalry. These were the chief of the officers governors that were stationed over Solomon's Shelomoh's work,

every one who passes by desolates and hisses and says, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land and to this house? 9

And they say, Because they forsook Yah Veh their Elohim, who brought their fathers from the land of Misrayim; and hold on other elohim and prostrate to them and serve them: therefore Yah Veh brings all this evil on them.

And so be it, at the end of twenty years, that Shelomoh built the two houses — the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign: Hiram sovereign of Sor loaded Shelomoh with cedar trees and cypress trees and with gold — all he desired; then sovereign Shelomoh gives Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galiyl: and Hiram goes from Sor to see the cities Shelomoh gives him: but they are not straight in his eyes.

And he says, What cities are these you give me, my brother? — and he calls them the land of Kabul/Fettered to this day.

And Hiram sends the sovereign a hundred and twenty rounds of gold: and this is the word of the vassal sovereign Shelomoh lifts to build the house of Yah Veh and his own house and Millo and the wall of Yeru Shalem and Hasor and Megiddo and Gezer.

Paroh sovereign of Misrayim ascends and captures Gezer and burns it with fire; and slaughters the Kenaaniy who settle the city and gives it for dowries to his daughter, the woman of Shelomoh.

And Shelomoh builds Gezer and Beth Horon the nether and Baalath and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land; and all the cities of storage of Shelomoh and cities for his chariots and cities for his cavalry; and the desires Shelomoh desires to build in Yeru Shalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his reign — all the people who remain of the Emoriy, Hethiy, Perizziy, Hivviy and Yebusiy who are not of the sons of Yisra El, their sons who remain after them in the land, whom the sons of Yisra El were not able to devote — Shelomoh ascends a vassal of service on them to this day.

But Pharaoh's Paroh's daughter came up ascended out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon he had built for her: then did he build Millo. And three times in a year did Solomon Shelomoh offer burnt offerings holocausted holocausts and peace offerings shelamim upon the sacrifice altar which he built unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and he burnt incense upon the altar incensed thereon that was before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. So did he finished shalam the house. And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh made worked a navy of ships in Eziongeber Esyon Geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore lip of the Red Reed sea, in the land of Edom. And Hiram sent in the navy ships his servants, shipmen men of ships that had knowledge of knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon Shelomoh. And they came to Ophir, and fetched took from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents rounds, and brought it to king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh. THE SOVEREIGNESS OF SHEBA And when the queen sovereigness of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon Shelomoh concerning the name of the L ORD Yah Veh, she came to prove test him with hard questions riddles. And she came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem with a very great train mighty heavy valuables, with camels that bare spices, and very mighty much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon Shelomoh, she communed worded with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon Shelomoh told her all her questions words: there was not any thing hid no word concealed from the king sovereign, which he told her not. And when the queen sovereigness of Sheba had seen all Solomon's Shelomoh's wisdom, and the house that he had built, And the meat food of his table, and the sitting settlement of his servants, and the attendance function of his ministers, and their apparel robes, and his cupbearers butlers, and his ascent by which he went up ascended unto the house of the L ORD Yah Veh; there was no more spirit in her. And she said to the king sovereign, It was a true report word that I heard in mine own land of thy acts words and of thy wisdom. Howbeit I believed trusted not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy thou hast added wisdom and prosperity exceedeth goodness to the fame report which I heard. Happy Blithe are thy men, happy blithe are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee at thy face, and that hear thy wisdom. Blessed be the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, which delighted in thee, to set give thee on the throne of Israel Yisra El: because the L ORD Yah Veh loved Israel for ever Yisra El eternally, therefore made set he thee king sovereign, to do work judgment and justice justness. And she gave the king sovereign an hundred and twenty talents rounds of gold, and of spices very a mighty great store abundance, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen sovereigness of Sheba

— five hundred and fifty to subjugate the people who work the work. 24

Only, the daughter of Paroh ascends from the city of David to the house he built for her: then he builds Millo.

And three times in a year Shelomoh holocausts holocausts and shelamim on the sacrifice altar he built to Yah Veh; and he incenses thereon at the face of Yah Veh: thus he shalams the house.

And sovereign Shelomoh works a navy of ships in Esyon Geber beside Eloth on the lip of the Reed sea in the land of Edom: and Hiram sends his servants in the ships — men of ships who know the sea, with servants of Shelomoh: and they come to Ophir and take gold from there — four hundred and twenty rounds and bring it to sovereign Shelomoh.

THE SOVEREIGNESS OF SHEBA And the sovereigness of Sheba hears of the fame of Shelomoh concerning the name of Yah Veh, and she comes to test him with riddles: and she comes to Yeru Shalem with mighty heavy valuables — with camels bearing spices and mighty much gold and precious stones: and she comes to Shelomoh, and she words with him of all within in her heart.

And Shelomoh tells her all her words: the sovereign conceals no word which he tells her not.

And the sovereigness of Sheba sees all the wisdom of Shelomoh and the house he built and the food of his table and the settlement of his servants and the function of his ministers and their robes and his butlers and the ascent whereby he ascends to the house of Yah Veh; and there is no more spirit in her.

And the navy ships also of Hiram, that brought lifted gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees a mighty abundance of algumim, and precious stones. And the king sovereign made worked of the almug trees algumim pillars banisters for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and for the king's sovereign's house, harps also and psalteries bagpipes for singers: there came no such almug trees algumim, nor were seen unto this day. And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh gave unto the queen sovereigness of Sheba all her desire delight, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon Shelomoh gave her of the hand of his royal sovereign bounty. So she turned faced and went to her own country land, she and her servants. THE WEALTH AND WISDOM OF SHELOMOH Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon Shelomoh in one year was six hundred threescore sixty and six talents rounds of gold, Beside that he had of the merchantmen men explorers, and of the traffick merchandising of the spice merchants, and of all the kings sovereigns of Arabia the mongrels, and of the governors of the country land. And king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh made worked two hundred targets shields of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went ascended to one target shield. And he made three hundred shields bucklers of beaten gold; three pound maneh of gold went ascended to one shield buckler: and the king put sovereign gave them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. Moreover the king made sovereign worked a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best purified gold. The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays hands on either side here and there on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays hands. And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other here and there upon the six steps: there was not the like made such worked in any kingdom sovereigndom. And all king Solomon's sovereign Sholomoh's drinking vessels instruments were of gold, and all the vessels instruments of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure concentrated gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of not fabricated in the days of Solomon Shelomoh. For the king sovereign had at sea a navy the ships of Tarshish with the navy ships of Hiram: once in three years came the navy ships of Tarshish, bringing bearing gold, and silver, ivory tusks, and apes, and peacocks. So king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh exceeded greatened above all the kings sovereigns of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought to Solomon the face of Shelomoh, to hear his wisdom, which God Elohim had put given in his heart. And they brought every man his present offering, vessels instruments of silver, and vessels instruments of gold, and garments clothes, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year word.

And also the ships of Hiram that lift gold from Ophir, bring in from Ophir a mighty abundance of algumim and precious stones. And from the algumim the sovereign works banisters for the house of Yah Veh and for the house of the sovereign; and harps and bagpipes for singers: there neither came such algumim nor was seen to this day. And sovereign Shelomoh gives the sovereigness of Sheba all her delight — whatever she asks, beside what Shelomoh gives her of the hand of his sovereign bounty. So she faces and goes to her own land — she and her servants. THE WEALTH AND WISDOM OF SHELOMOH And the weight of gold that comes to Shelomoh in one year, six hundred sixty—six rounds of gold; beside that of the men explorers and of the merchandising of the merchants and of all the sovereigns of the mongrels and of the governors of the land. And sovereign Shelomoh works two hundred shields of beaten gold; six hundred gold ascends to one shield: and three hundred bucklers of beaten gold; three maneh of gold ascends to one buckler: and the sovereign gives them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. And the sovereign works a great throne of ivory and overlays it with purified gold: the throne has six steps and the top of the throne is round behind: and there are hands here and there on the place of the seat; and two lions stand beside the hands: and twelve lions stand there here and there on the six steps; such as is not worked in any sovereigndom.

And all the drinking instruments of sovereign Sholomoh are of gold; and all the instruments of the house of the forest of Lebanon are of concentrated gold; none of silver: such as is not fabricated in the days of Shelomoh.

For the sovereign has at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram: once in three years the ships of Tarshish come, bearing gold and silver, tusks and apes and peacocks.

Thus sovereign Shelomoh greatens above all the sovereigns of the earth for riches and for wisdom: and all the earth seeks the face of Shelomoh to hear the wisdom Elohim gives in his heart: and every man brings his offering — instruments of silver and instruments of gold and clothes and armour and spices, horses and mules — a year by year word.

And Solomon Shelomoh gathered together chariots and horsemen cavalry: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen cavalry, whom he bestowed guided in the cities for chariots, and with the king sovereign at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And the king made sovereign gave silver to be in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem as stones, and cedars made gave he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale lowland, for abundance. And Solomon Shelomoh had horses brought proceed out of Egypt Misrayim, and linen yarn troops: the king's sovereign's merchants received the linen yarn took the troops at a price. And a chariot came up ascended and went out of Egypt Misrayim for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings sovereigns of the Hittites Hethiy, and for the kings sovereigns of Syria Aram, did they bring them out by their means hand. THE WOMEN OF SHELOMOH But king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh Paroh, women of the Moabites Moabiy, Ammonites Ammoniy, Edomites Edomiy, Zidonians Sidoniy, and Hittites Hethiy: Of the nations goyim concerning which the L ORD Yah Veh said unto the children sons of Israel Yisra El, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away shall pervert your heart after their gods elohim: Solomon clave Shelomoh adhered unto these in love. And he had seven hundred wives women, princesses governesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away women perverted his heart. For And so be it came to pass, when Solomon was old the time Shelomoh aged, that his wives turned away women perverted his heart after other gods elohim: and his heart was not perfect at shalom with the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon Shelomoh went after Ashtoreth the goddess elohim of the Zidonians Sidoniy, and after Milcom Milchom the abomination of the Ammonites Ammoniy. And Solomon did Shelomoh worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and went fulfilled not fully after the L ORD Yah Veh, as did David his father. Then did Solomon Shelomoh build an high place a bamah for Chemosh Kemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill mountain that is before Jerusalem at the face of Yeru Shalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children sons of Ammon. And likewise did worked he for all his strange wives women, which burnt incense incensed and sacrificed unto their gods elohim. And the LORD Yah Veh was angry with Solomon Shelomoh, because his heart was turned spread from the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, which had appeared unto was seen by him twice two times, And had commanded misvahed him concerning this thing word, that he should not go after other gods elohim: but he kept guarded not that which the L ORD commanded Yah Veh misvahed.

And Shelomoh gathers chariots and cavalry: and he has a thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand cavalry whom he guides in the cities for chariots and with the sovereign at Yeru Shalem: and the sovereign gives silver in Yeru Shalem as stones and gives cedars as the sycomore trees in the lowland for abundance: and Shelomoh has horses proceed from Misrayim — and troops: the merchants of the sovereign take the troops at a price: and a chariot ascends and goes from Misrayim for six hundred of silver; and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and thus for all the sovereigns of the Hethiy and for the sovereigns of Aram they bring them out by hand. THE WOMEN OF SHELOMOH And sovereign Shelomoh loves many strange women together with the daughter of Paroh: women of the Moabiy, Ammoniy, Edomiy, Sidoniy and Hethiy, of the goyim — of which Yah Veh says to the sons of Yisra El, Neither go in to them, nor them come in to you: for surely they pervert your heart after their elohim — Shelomoh adheres to these in love: and he has seven hundred women governesses and three hundred concubines: and his women pervert his heart. And so be it, at the time Shelomoh ages, his women pervert his heart after other elohim: and his heart is not at shalom with Yah Veh his Elohim as the heart of David his father: and Shelomoh goes after Ashtoreth the elohim of the Sidoniy; and after Milchom the abomination of the Ammoniy: and Shelomoh works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and fulfills not after Yah Veh as David his father. Then Shelomoh builds a bamah for Kemosh the abomination of Moab in the mountain at the face of Yeru Shalem; and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon: and thus he works for all his strange women who incense and sacrifice to their elohim: and Yah Veh is angry with Shelomoh because his heart spreads from Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El — who was seen by him two times; and misvahed him concerning this word — to not go after other elohim: but he guards not what Yah Veh misvahed.

Wherefore the L ORD Yah Veh said unto Solomon Shelomoh, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept guarded my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded misvahed thee, in ripping, I will surely rend shall rip the kingdom sovereigndom from thee, and will shall give it to thy servant. Notwithstanding in thy days I will shall not do work it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend shall rip it out of the hand of thy son. Howbeit Only I will shall not rend rip away all the kingdom sovereigndom; but will shall give one tribe scion to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's Yeru Shalem's sake which I have chosen. YAH VEH RAISES A SATAN TO SHELOMOH And the LORD Yah Veh stirred up an adversary raised a satan unto Solomon Shelomoh, Hadad the Edomite Edomiy: he was of the king's sovereign's seed in Edom. For so be it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab Yah Ab the captain governor of the host was gone up ascended to bury entomb the slain pierced, after he had smitten every male in Edom; (For six months did Joab remain Yah Ab settle there with all Israel Yisra El, until he had cut off every male in Edom:) That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites men — Edomiy of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt Misrayim; Hadad being yet a little child lad. And they arose out of Midian Midyaniy, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt Misrayim, unto Pharaoh king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim; which gave him an house, and appointed said for him victuals bread, and gave him land. And Hadad found great favour mighty charism in the sight eyes of Pharaoh Paroh, so that he gave him to wife woman the sister of his own wife woman, the sister of Tahpenes Tachpenes the queen lady. And the sister of Tahpenes Tachpenes bare birthed him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes Tachpenes weaned in Pharaoh's midst Paroh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's Paroh's household among the sons of Pharaoh Paroh. And when Hadad heard in Egypt Misrayim that David slept laid with his fathers, and that Joab Yah Ab the captain of the host was dead died, Hadad said to Pharaoh Paroh, Let me depart Send me away, that I may go to mine own country land. Then Pharaoh Paroh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country land? And he answered said, Nothing Naught: howbeit let me go in any wise in sending away, send me away. And God Elohim stirred raised him up another adversary a satan, Rezon the son of Eliadah Eli Ada, which fled from his lord Hadadezer adoni Hadad Ezer king sovereign of Zobah Sobah: And he gathered men unto him, and became captain governor over a band troop, when David slew slaughtered them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus Dammeseq,

And Yah Veh says to Shelomoh, Because you do this, and guard not my covenant and my statutes which I misvahed you, in ripping, I rip the sovereigndom from you and give it to your servant: only, I work it not in your days for sake of David your father: but I rip it from the hand of your son: only, I rip not away all the sovereigndom; but give one scion to your son for sake of David my servant and for sake of Yeru Shalem whom I chose. YAH VEH RAISES A SATAN TO SHELOMOH And Yah Veh raises a satan to Shelomoh — Hadad the Edomiy of the seed of the sovereign in Edom. And so be it, David is in Edom and Yah Ab the governor of the host ascends to entomb the pierced after he smites every male in Edom; Yah Ab settles there six months with all Yisra El until he cuts off every male in Edom; and Hadad flees — he and men — Edomiy with the servants of his father to go to Misrayim. — and Hadad is still a little lad.

And they rise from Midyaniy and come to Paran; and they take men from Paran with them: and they come to Misrayim — to Pharaoh sovereign of Misrayim who gives him a house and says to give him bread and land.

And Hadad finds mighty charism in the eyes of Paroh, so that he gives him to woman the sister of his own woman — the sister of Tachpenes the lady: and the sister of Tachpenes births him Genubath his son, whom Tachpenes weans midst the house of Paroh: and Genubath is in the house of Paroh among the sons of Paroh: and when Hadad hears in Misrayim that David lies down with his fathers, and that Yah Ab the captain of the host dies, Hadad says to Paroh, Send me away, to go to my own land.

And Paroh says to him, But what lack you with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own land? And he says, Naught: but in sending away, send me away.

And Elohim raises a satan — Rezon the son of Eli Ada who had fled from his adoni Hadad Ezer sovereign of Sobah — who gathered men to himself and became governor over a troop when David slaughtered them and they went to Dammeseq

and dwelt settled therein, and reigned in Damascus Dammeseq. And he was an adversary a satan to Israel Yisra El all the days of Solomon Shelomoh, beside the mischief evil that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel Yisra El, and reigned over Syria Aram. YAROB AM REBELS AGAINST SHELOMOH And Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite Ephrathiy of Zereda Seredah, Solomon's Shelomoh's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah Seruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his a hand against the king sovereign. And this was the cause word that he lifted up his a hand against the king sovereign: Solomon Shelomoh built Millo, and repaired shut the breaches of the city of David his father. And the man Jeroboam Yarob Am was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon Shelomoh seeing the young man lad that he was industrious worked, he made him ruler overseer over all the charge burden of the house of Joseph Yoseph. And it came to pass became at that time when Jeroboam Yarob Am went out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that the prophet Ahijah Achiy Yah the Shilonite Shilohiy found him in the way; and he had clad covered himself with a new garment clothes; and they two were alone in the field: And Ahijah Achiy Yah caught manipulated the new garment clothes that was on him, and rent shreaded it in twelve pieces shreads: And he said to Jeroboam Yarob Am, Take thee ten pieces shreads: for thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, the God Elohim of Israel Yisra El, Behold, I will rend shall shread the kingdom sovereigndom out of the hand of Solomon Shelomoh, and will shall give ten tribes scions to thee: (But he shall have one tribe scion for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's Yeru Shalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El:) Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped prostrated to Ashtoreth the goddess elohim of the Zidonians Sidoniy, Chemosh Kemosh the god elohim of the Moabites Moabiy, and Milcom Milchom the god elohim of the children sons of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do work that which is right straight in mine eyes, and to keep in my statutes and in my judgments, as did David his father. Howbeit I will shall not take the whole kingdom sovereigndom out of his hand: but I will make shall set him prince hierarch all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept guarded my commandments misvoth and my statutes: But I will shall take the kingdom sovereigndom out of his son's hand, and will shall give it unto thee, even ten tribes scions. And unto his son will shall I give one tribe scion, that David my servant may have a light alway lamp all days before me at my face in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, the city which I have chosen me to put set my name there. And I will shall take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth,

and settled and reigned in Dammeseq: and he becomes a satan to Yisra El all the days of Shelomoh beside all the evil Hadad did: and he abhors Yisra El and reigns over Aram. YAROB AM REBELS AGAINST SHELOMOH And Yarob Am the son of Nebat — an Ephrathiy of Seredah, servant of Shelomoh, the name of whose mother is Seruah a widow woman — lifts a hand against the sovereign: and this is the word that he lifts a hand against the sovereign: Shelomoh built Millo and shut the breaches of the city of David his father: and the man Yarob Am is mighty of valour: and Shelomoh sees how the lad works, and makes him overseer over all the burden of the house of Yoseph: and so be it, at that time, Yarob Am goes from Yeru Shalem, and the prophet Achiy Yah the Shilohiy finds him in the way; and he covers himself with new clothes; and the two are alone in the field: and Achiy Yah manipulates the new clothes on him and shreds it in twelve shreds: and he says to Yarob Am, Take ten shreads: for thus says Yah Veh, the Elohim of Yisra El, Behold, I shred the sovereigndom from the hand of Shelomoh and give ten scions to you: and he has one scion for sake of my servant David and for sake of Yeru Shalem the city I chose from all the scions of Yisra El: because they forsake me and prostrate to Ashtoreth elohim of the Sidoniy, Kemosh elohim of the Moabiy, and Milchom elohim of the sons of Ammon; and walk not in my ways to work straight in my eyes and in my statutes and in my judgments as David his father: but I take not the whole sovereigndom from his hand: but I set him hierarch all the days of his life for sake of David my servant; whom I chose because he guarded my misvoth and my statutes: and I take the sovereigndom from the hand of his son and give it to you — the ten scions: and to his son I give one scion; so David my servant has a lamp all days at my face in Yeru Shalem — the city I chose to set my name there. And I take you and you reign according to all your soul desires

and shalt be king sovereign over Israel Yisra El. And so be it shall be, if thou wilt shalt hearken unto all that I command misvah thee, and wilt shalt walk in my ways, and do work that is right straight in my sight eyes, to keep guard my statutes and my commandments misvoth, as David my servant did worked; that I will shall be with thee, and build thee a sure trustworthy house, as I built for David, and will shall give Israel Yisra El unto thee. And I will shall for this afflict humble the seed of David, but not for ever all days. Solomon Shelomoh sought therefore to kill Jeroboam deathify Yarob Am. And Jeroboam Yarob Am arose, and fled into Egypt Misrayim, unto Shishak king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim, and was in Egypt Misrayim until the death of Solomon Shelomoh. And the rest of the acts words of Solomon Shelomoh, and all that he did worked, and his wisdom, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the acts words of Solomon Shelomoh? And the time days that Solomon Shelomoh reigned in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem over all Israel Yisra El was forty years. And Solomon slept Shelomoh laid with his fathers, and was buried entombed in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam Rechab Am his son reigned in his stead. YISRA EL REBELS AGAINST RECHAB AM And Rehoboam Rechab Am went to Shechem: for all Israel Yisra El were come to Shechem to make have him king reign. And so be it came to pass, when Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt Misrayim, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence face of king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh, and Jeroboam dwelt Yarob Am settled in Egypt Misrayim;) That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam Yarob Am and all the congregation of Israel Yisra El came, and spake worded unto Rehoboam Rechab Am, saying, Thy father made hardened our yoke grievous: now therefore make swiften thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put gave upon us, lighter, and we will shall serve thee. And he said unto them, Depart Go yet for three days, then come again return to me. And the people departed went. And king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am consulted counselled with the old men elders, that stood before Solomon at the face of Shelomoh his father while he yet lived, and said saying, How do ye advise counsel that I may answer return word to this people? And they spake worded unto him, saying, If thou wilt shalt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt shalt serve them, and answer them, and speak word good words to them, then they will shall be thy servants for ever all days. But he forsook the counsel of the old men elders, which they had given counselled him, and consulted counselled with the young men children that were grown up with him, and which stood before him at his face: And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer return word to this people, who have spoken worded to me, saying, Make Swiften the yoke which thy father did put gave upon us lighter? And the young men children that were grown up with him spake worded unto him,

being sovereign over Yisra El: and so be it, if you hearken to all I misvah you and walk in my ways and work straight in my eyes — to guard my statutes and my misvoth as David my servant worked; I am with you and build you a trustworthy house as I built for David; and give Yisra El to you: and for this I humble the seed of David; but not all days.

And Shelomoh seeks to deathify Yarob Am. And Yarob Am rises and flees to Misrayim — to Shishak sovereign of Misrayim; and is in Misrayim until the death of Shelomoh.

And the rest of the words of Shelomoh and all he worked and his wisdom — are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of Shelomoh?

And the days Shelomoh reigns in Yeru Shalem over all Yisra El, forty years. And Shelomoh lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David his father: and Rechab Am his son reigns in his stead.

12 2

YISRA EL REBELS AGAINST RECHAB AM And Rechab Am goes to Shechem: for all Yisra El comes to Shechem to have him reign. And so be it, Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who is yet in Misrayim, hears, — for he had fled the face of sovereign Shelomoh and Yarob Am settles in Misrayim; and they send and call him. And Yarob Am and all the congregation of Yisra El come and word to Rechab Am, saying, Your father hardened our yoke: now swiften the service of your father and the heavy yoke he gave on us and we serve you. And he says to them, Go yet three days and return to me. And the people go: and sovereign Rechab Am counsels with the elders who had stood at the face of Shelomoh his father while he yet lived, saying, How counsel you, that I return word to this people?

And they word to him, saying, If you are a servant to this people this day and serve them and answer them and word good words to them, then they become your servants all days.

And he forsakes the counsel the elders counsel him; and counsels with the children who grew up with him — who stand at his face: and he says to them, What counsel give you that we return word to this people, who word to me, saying, Swiften the yoke your father gave on us?

And the children who grew up with him word to him,

saying, Thus shalt thou speak say unto this people that spake worded unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make swiften thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say word unto them, My little finger pinky shall be thicker than my father's loins. And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will shall add to your yoke: my father hath chastised disciplined you with whips, but I will chastise shall discipline you with scorpions. So Jeroboam Yarob Am and all the people came to Rehoboam Rechab Am the third day, as the king sovereign had appointed worded, saying, Come Return to me again the third day. And the king sovereign answered the people roughly hard, and forsook the old men's elders's counsel that they gave counselled him; And spake worded to them after the counsel of the young men children, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will shall add to your yoke: my father also chastised disciplined you with whips, but I will chastise shall discipline you with scorpions. Wherefore the king sovereign hearkened not unto the people; for the cause revolution was from the L ORD Yah Veh, that he might perform raise his saying word, which the L ORD spake Yah Veh worded by Ahijah the hand of Achiy Yah the Shilonite Shilohiy unto Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat. THE SOVEREIGNDOM DIVIDED So when all Israel Yisra El saw that the king sovereign hearkened not unto them, the people answered returned word to the king sovereign, saying, What portion allotment have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse Yishay: to your tents, O Israel Yisra El: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed Yisra El went unto their tents. But as for the children sons of Israel Yisra El which dwelt settled in the cities of Judah Yah Hudah, Rehoboam Rechab Am reigned over them. Then king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am sent Adoram Adoni Ram, who was over the tribute vassal; and all Israel Yisra El stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am made speed strengthened himself to get him up ascend to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. So Israel Yisra El rebelled against the house of David unto this day. And so be it came to pass, when all Israel Yisra El heard that Jeroboam was come again Yarob Am had returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation witness, and made had him king reign over all Israel Yisra El: there was none that followed after the house of David, but except the tribe scion of Judah Yah Hudah only. And when Rehoboam Rechab Am was come to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, he assembled congregated all the house of Judah Yah Hudah, with the tribe scion of Benjamin Ben Yamin, an hundred and fourscore eighty thousand chosen men, which were warriors worked war, to fight against the house of Israel Yisra El, to bring return the kingdom sovereigndom again to Rehoboam Rechab Am the son of Solomon Shelomoh. But the word of God Elohim came unto Shemaiah Shema Yah the man of God Elohim, saying, Speak Say unto Rehoboam Rechab Am, the son of Solomon Shelomoh, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah,

saying, Say thus to this people who word to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but swiften it to us — word to them thus, My pinky is thicker than the loins of my father! And now, whereas my father loaded you with a heavy yoke, I add to your yoke: my father disciplined you with whips; and I — I discipline you with scorpions. So Yarob Am and all the people come to Rechab Am the third day as the sovereign worded, saying, Return to me the third day: and the sovereign answers the people hard and forsakes the counsel the elders counsel him; and words to them after the counsel of the children, saying, My father made your yoke heavy and I — I add to your yoke: my father disciplined you with whips, and I — I discipline you with scorpions. And the sovereign hearkens not to the people; for the revolution is from Yah Veh to raise his word which Yah Veh worded by the hand of Achiy Yah the Shilohiy to Yarob Am the son of Nebat. THE SOVEREIGNDOM DIVIDED And all Yisra El sees that the sovereign hearkens not to them, and the people return word to the sovereign, saying, What allotment have we in David? Yes, there is no inheritance in the son of Yishay: to your tents, O Yisra El! Now see to your own house, O David. — and Yisra El goes to their tents. As for the sons of Yisra El who settle in the cities of Yah Hudah, Rechab Am reigns over them: and sovereign Rechab Am sends Adoni Ram who is over the vassal; and all Yisra El stones him with stones, that he dies: and sovereign Rechab Am strengthens himself to ascend to his chariot to flee to Yeru Shalem. and Yisra El rebels against the house of David to this day.

And so be it, all Yisra El hears that Yarob Am returns, and they send and call him to the witness and have him reign over all Yisra El: there is no one after the house of David, except only, the scion of Yah Hudah.

And Rechab Am comes to Yeru Shalem, and he congregates all the house of Yah Hudah with the scion of Ben Yamin — a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who work war — to fight against the house of Yisra El — to return the sovereigndom to Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh.

And the word of Elohim is to Shema Yah the man of Elohim, saying, Say to Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh sovereign of Yah Hudah,

and unto all the house of Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Ye shall not go up ascend, nor fight against your brethren the children sons of Israel Yisra El: return every man to his house; for this thing word is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, and returned to depart go, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh. THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE OF YAROB AM Then Jeroboam Yarob Am built Shechem in mount Ephraim Ephrayim, and dwelt settled therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel Penu El. And Jeroboam Yarob Am said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom sovereigndom return to the house of David: If this people go up ascend to do work sacrifice in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again return unto their lord adoni, even unto Rehoboam Rechab Am, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and they shall kill slaughter me, and go again return to Rehoboam Rechab Am, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah. Whereupon the king sovereign took counsel, and made worked two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up ascend to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: behold thy gods Elohim, O Israel Yisra El, which brought ascended thee up out of the land of Egypt Misrayim. And he set the one in Bethel Beth El, and the other put one gave he in Dan. And this thing word became a sin: for the people went to worship before at the face of the one, even unto Dan. And he made worked an house of high places bamahs, and made worked priests of the lowest end of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam Yarob Am ordained worked a feast celebration in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast celebration that is in Judah Yah Hudah, and he offered holocausted upon the sacrifice altar. So did worked he in Bethel Beth El, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made worked: and he placed stood in Bethel Beth El the priests of the high places bamahs which he had made worked. So he offered holocausted upon the sacrifice altar which he had made worked in Bethel Beth El the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised contrived of his own heart; and ordained worked a feast celebration unto the children sons of Israel Yisra El: and he offered holocausted upon the sacrifice altar, and burnt incense incensed. THE MAN OF ELOHIM WITH THE WORD OF YAH VEH And, behold, there came a man of God Elohim out of Judah Yah Hudah by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh unto Bethel Beth El: and Jeroboam Yarob Am stood by the sacrifice altar to burn incense. And he cried called out against the sacrifice altar in the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, O sacrifice altar, sacrifice altar, thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh; Behold, a child son shall be born birthed unto the house of David, Josiah Yoshi Yah by name; and upon thee shall he offer sacrifice the priests of the high places bamahs that burn incense upon thee,

25 26 27

and to all the house of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and to the remnant of the people, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: Neither ascend nor fight against your brothers the sons of Yisra El: return every man to his house; for this word is from me. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they hear the word of Yah Veh and return to go according to the word of Yah Veh. THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE OF YAROB AM And Yarob Am builds Shechem in mount Ephrayim and settles therein; and from there, he goes out and builds Penu El: and Yarob Am says in his heart, Now the sovereigndom returns to the house of David: if this people ascend to work sacrifice in the house of Yah Veh at Yeru Shalem, then the heart of this people returns to their adoni â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Rechab Am sovereign of Yah Hudah; and they slaughter me and return to Rechab Am sovereign of Yah Hudah.

And the sovereign takes counsel and works two calves of gold, and says to them, Too much for you to ascend to Yeru Shalem: behold your Elohim, O Yisra El, who ascended you from the land of Misrayim.

And he sets the one in Beth El and gives the one in Dan: and this word becomes a sin: for the people go at the face of the one, to Dan. And he works a house of bamahs and works priests of the end of the people who are not of the sons of Levi: and Yarob Am works a celebration in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the celebration in Yah Hudah: and he holocausts on the sacrifice altar: thus he works in Beth El sacrificing to the calves he worked: and in Beth El he stands the priests of the bamahs he worked: and he holocausts on the sacrifice altar what he worked in Beth El the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month he contrives of his own heart; and works a celebration to the sons of Yisra El: and he holocausts on the sacrifice altar and incenses.

THE MAN OF ELOHIM WITH THE WORD OF YAH VEH And behold, there comes a man of Elohim from Yah Hudah by the word of Yah Veh to Beth El: and Yarob Am stands by the sacrifice altar to incense: and he calls out against the sacrifice altar in the word of Yah Veh, and says, Sacrifice altar! Sacrifice altar! Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, a son is birthed to the house of David, Yoshi Yah by name; and on you he sacrifices the priests of the bamahs who incense upon you;

and men's human bones shall be burnt upon thee. And he gave a sign an omen the same day, saying, This is the sign omen which the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken worded; Behold, the sacrifice altar shall be rent ripped, and the ashes that are fat upon it shall be poured out. And so be it came to pass, when king Jeroboam sovereign Yarob Am heard the saying word of the man of God Elohim, which had cried called out against the sacrifice altar in Bethel Beth El, that he put sent forth his hand from the sacrifice altar, saying, Lay hold on Apprehend him. And his hand, which he put sent forth against him, dried up withered, so that he could not pull it in again turn it back to him. The sacrifice altar also was rent ripped, and the ashes fat poured out from the sacrifice altar, according to the sign omen which the man of God Elohim had given by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the king sovereign answered and said unto the man of God Elohim, Intreat Stroke now the face of the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God Elohim besought the L ORD stroked the face of Yah Veh, and the king's sovereign's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before formerly. And the king sovereign said worded unto the man of God Elohim, Come home with me, and refresh support thyself, and I will shall give thee a reward gift. And the man of God Elohim said unto the king sovereign, If thou wilt shalt give me half thine house, I will shall not go in with thee, neither will shall I eat bread nor drink water in this place: For so was it charged misvahed me by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again return by the same way that thou camest. So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel Beth El. THE DISOBEDIENT PROPHET Now there dwelt an old settled one elder prophet in Bethel Beth El; and his sons son came and told scribed him all the works that the man of God Elohim had done worked that day in Bethel Beth El: the words which he had spoken worded unto the king sovereign, them they told scribed also to their father. And their father said worded unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God Elohim went, which came from Judah Yah Hudah. And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass Harness my he burro. So they saddled him the ass harnessed his he burro: and he rode thereon, And went after the man of God Elohim, and found him sitting settled under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God Elohim that camest from Judah Yah Hudah? And he said, I am. Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will shall I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: For it was said worded to me by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there,

and burn human bones upon you. 3

And that same day, he gives an omen, saying, This is the omen Yah Veh words; Behold, the sacrifice altar is ripped, and the fat thereon, poured out.

And so be it, sovereign Yarob Am hears the word of the man of Elohim who calls out against the sacrifice altar in Beth El, and he sends his hand from the sacrifice altar, saying, Apprehend him.

And the hand he sends against him withers so that he cannot turn it back to him: and the sacrifice altar rips and the fat pours from the sacrifice altar according to the omen the man of Elohim gives by the word of Yah Veh. And the sovereign answers and says to the man of Elohim, Stroke now the face of Yah Veh your Elohim, and pray for me, that my hand be restored. And the man of Elohim strokes the face of Yah Veh, and the hand of the sovereign restores and becomes as formerly.

And the sovereign words to the man of Elohim, Come home with me and support yourself; and I give you a gift.

And the man of Elohim says to the sovereign, If you give me half your house, I neither go in with you nor eat bread nor drink water in this place: for thus he misvahed me by the word of Yah Veh, saying, Neither eat bread nor drink water nor return the way you came. — and he goes another way and returns not the way he came to Beth El.

THE DISOBEDIENT PROPHET And one elder prophet settles in Beth El; and his son comes and scribes all the works the man of Elohim works that day in Beth El — the words he worded to the sovereign, they scribe to their father.

And their father words to them, What way goes he? — for his sons see the way the man of Elohim who came from Yah Hudah goes.

And he says to his sons, Harness my he burro. — and they harness his he burro.

And he rides thereon and goes after the man of Elohim: and he finds him settled under an oak: and he says to him, Are you the man of Elohim who comes from Yah Hudah? And he says, I.

Then he says to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

And he says, I neither return with you nor go in with you nor eat bread nor drink water with you in this place: for I was worded by the word of Yah Veh, Neither eat bread nor drink water there;

nor turn again return to go by the way that thou camest. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake worded unto me by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Bring Return him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto had deceived him. So he went back returned with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water. And so be it came to pass, as they sat settled at the table, that the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came unto the prophet that brought him back returned him: And he cried called out unto the man of God Elohim that came from Judah Yah Hudah, saying, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Forasmuch Because as thou hast disobeyed rebelled the mouth of the L ORD Yah Veh, and hast not kept guarded the commandment misvah which the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim commanded misvahed thee, But camest back returnest, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the L ORD did say he worded to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre tomb of thy fathers. And so be it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass harnessed his he burro, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back returned. And when he was gone, a lion met found him by the way, and slew deathified him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass he burro stood by beside it, the lion also stood by beside the carcase. And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by beside the carcase: and they came and told worded it in the city where the old prophet dwelt settled. And when the prophet that brought returned him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God Elohim, who was disobedient rebelled unto the word mouth of the L ORD Yah Veh: therefore the L ORD Yah Veh hath delivered given him unto the lion, which hath torn broken him, and slain deathifed him, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded unto him. And he spake worded to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass Harness my he burro. And they saddled harnessed him. And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass he burro and the lion standing by beside the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn broken the ass he burro. And the prophet took up lifted the carcase of the man of God Elohim, and laid set it upon the ass he burro, and brought returned it back: and the old elder prophet came to the city, to mourn chop and to bury entomb him. And he laid set his carcase in his own grave tomb; and they mourned chopped over him, saying, Alas Ho, my brother! And so be it came to pass, after he had buried entombed him, that he spake said to his sons, saying, When I am dead die, then bury entomb me in the sepulchre tomb wherein the man of God Elohim is buried entombed;

nor return to go the way you came. 18

He says to him, I also am a prophet as you; and an angel worded to me by the word of Yah Veh, saying, Return him with you to your house to eat bread and drink water. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he deceived him:

And he returns with him and eats bread in his house and drinks water.

And so be it, they settle at the table, and the word of Yah Veh comes to the prophet who returned him: and he calls to the man of Elohim who came from Yah Hudah, saying, Thus saith Yah Veh, Because you rebel the mouth of Yah Veh, and guard not the misvah Yah Veh your Elohim misvahs you; and return, and eat bread and drink water in the place whereof he worded you, Neither eat bread nor drink water; your carcase comes not to the tomb of your fathers.

And so be it, after he eats bread and after he drinks, he harnesses the he burro, of the prophet he had returned: and when he goes a lion finds him by the way and deathifies him: and his carcase is cast in the way and the he burro stands beside it, and the lion stands beside the carcase: and behold, men pass by and see the carcase cast in the way and the lion standing beside the carcase: and they come and word in the city wherein the old prophet settles.

And the prophet who returned him from the way hears and says, It is the man of Elohim who rebelled the mouth of Yah Veh: therefore Yah Veh gives him to the lion to break him and deathify him according to the word Yah Veh worded to him.

And he words to his sons, saying, Harness my he burro.

30 31

And they harness: and he goes and finds his carcase cast in the way; and the he burro and the lion standing beside the carcase: the lion had neither eaten the carcase nor broken the he burro. And the prophet lifts the carcase of the man of Elohim, and sets it upon the he burro, and returns it: and the elder prophet comes to the city to chop and to entomb him: and he sets his carcase in his own tomb; and they chop over him, Ho, my brother! And so be it, after he entombs him, he says to his sons, saying, When I die, entomb me in the tomb wherein the man of Elohim is entombed;

lay set my bones beside his bones: For the saying word which he cried called out by the word of the L ORD Yah Veh against the sacrifice altar in Bethel Beth El, and against all the houses of the high places bamahs which are in the cities of Samaria Shomeron, in becoming, shall surely come to pass become. After this thing word Jeroboam Yarob Am returned not from his evil way, but made again returned and worked of the lowest end of the people priests of the high places bamahs: whosoever would delighted, he consecrated him filled his hand, and he became one of the priests of the high places bamahs. And this thing word became sin unto the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am, even to cut it off, and to destroy desolate it from off the face of the earth soil. THE PROPHECY OF ACHIY YAH AGAINST YAROB AM At that time Abijah Abi Yah the son of Jeroboam Yarob Am fell sick. And Jeroboam Yarob Am said to his wife woman, Arise, I pray beseech thee, and disguise alter thyself, that thou be not known they not know thee to be the wife woman of Jeroboam Yarob Am; and get thee go to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah Achiy Yah the prophet, which told worded me that I should be king sovereign over this people. And take with thee in thine hand ten loaves bread, and cracknels crumbs, and a cruse bottle of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child lad. And Jeroboam's wife Yarob Am's woman did worked so and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah Achiy Yah. But Ahijah Achiy Yah could not see; for his eyes were set arose by reason of his age grayness. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Ahijah Achiy Yah, Behold, the wife woman of Jeroboam Yarob Am cometh to ask enquire a thing word of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say word unto her: for so be it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign estrange herself to be another woman. And it was so became, when Ahijah Achiy Yah heard the sound voice of her feet, as she came in at the door portal, that he said, Come in, thou wife woman of Jeroboam Yarob Am; why feignest estrangest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings hardness. Go, tell Jeroboam say to Yarob Am, Thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, Forasmuch as Because I exalted thee from among the people, and made gave thee prince eminence over my people Israel Yisra El, And rent ripped the kingdom sovereigndom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept guarded my commandments misvoth, and who followed walked after me with all his heart, to do work that only which was right straight in mine eyes; But hast done evil vilified to work above all that were before thee at thy face: for thou hast gone and made worked thee other gods elohim, and molten images, to provoke vex me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back: Therefore, behold, I will shall bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am, and will shall cut off from Jeroboam Yarob Am him that pisseth urinateth against the wall,

set my bones beside his bones: for the word he called out by the word of Yah Veh against the sacrifice altar in Beth El, and against all the houses of the bamahs in the cities of Shomeron, in becoming, they become.

After this word Yarob Am returns not from his evil way, but returns and works from the ends of the people priests of the bamahs: whoever delights, he fills his hand, and he becomes a priest of the bamahs.

And this word becomes the sin of the house of Yarob Am to cut off and to desolate from off the face of the soil.

THE PROPHECY OF ACHIY YAH AGAINST YAROB AM At that time, Abi Yah the son of Yarob Am sickens; and Yarob Am says to his woman, Rise, I beseech thee, and alter yourself, that you not be known to be the woman of Yarob Am; and go to Shiloh: behold, Achiy Yah the prophet there, who worded of me as sovereign over this people: and take in your hand ten bread and crumbs and a container of honey; and go to him: he tells what becomes of the lad.

And the woman of Yarob Am works thus: and rises and goes to Shiloh and comes to the house of Achiy Yah. — and Achiy Yah cannot see for his eyes rise because of his grayness.

And Yah Veh says to Achiy Yah, Behold, the woman of Yarob Am comes to enquire a word of you for her son; for he is sick: word thus and thus to her: for so be it, when she comes, she estranges herself to be another.

And so be it, Achiy Yah hears the voice of her feet as she comes to the portal; and he says, Come in, woman of Yarob Am; why estrange yourself to be another? For I am sent to you with hardness! Go, say to Yarob Am, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Because I exalted you from among the people; and gave you eminence over my people Yisra El; and ripped the sovereigndom from the house of David; and gave it to you: and you became not as my servant David — who guarded my misvoth — who walked after me with all his heart — to work only, straight in my eyes: and vilified to work above all who are at your face: and went and worked other elohim and molten to vex me; and cast me behind your back: therefore, behold, I bring evil on the house of Yarob Am, and cut off from Yarob Am him who urinates against the wall,

Him that dieth of Jeroboam Yarob Am in the city shall the dogs eat devour; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls flyers of the air eat heavens devour: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken worded it. Arise thou therefore, get thee go to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. And all Israel Yisra El shall mourn for chop over him, and bury entomb him: for he only of Jeroboam Yarob Am shall come to the grave tomb, because in him there is found some a good thing word toward the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El in the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am. Moreover the L ORD Yah Veh shall raise him up a king sovereign over Israel Yisra El, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am that day: but what? even now. For the L ORD Yah Veh shall smite Israel Yisra El, as a reed is shaken stalk wags in the water, and he shall root up Israel uproot Yisra El out of this good land soil, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made worked their groves asherim, provoking the L ORD to anger vexing Yah Veh. And he shall give Israel Yisra El up because of the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am, who did sin, and who made Israel Yisra El to sin. And Jeroboam's wife Yarob Am's woman arose, and departed went, and came to Tirzah Tirsah: and when she came to the threshold of the door house, the child lad died; And they buried entombed him; and all Israel mourned for Yisra El chopped over him, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded by the hand of his servant Ahijah Achiy Yah the prophet. And the rest of the acts words of Jeroboam Yarob Am, how he warred fought, and how he reigned, behold, they are written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El.

And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess Ammoniyth. And Judah did Yah Hudah worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and they provoked caused him to jealousy be jealous with their sins which they had committed sinned, above all that their fathers had done worked. For they also built them high places bamahs, and images monoliths, and groves asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

And you, rise; go to your own house: when your feet enter the city, the child dies: and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him: for of Yarob Am, only, he comes to the tomb; because in him there is found a good word toward Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in the house of Yarob Am. And Yah Veh raises a sovereign over Yisra El, to cut off the house of Yarob Am that day. And what? Even now! For Yah Veh smites Yisra El as a stalk wags in the water; and uproots Yisra El from this good soil he gave to their fathers; and scatters them beyond the river because they work their asherim — vexing Yah Veh: and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins — who had Yisra El sin. And the woman of Yarob Am rises; and goes and comes to Tirsah: and she comes to the threshold of the house and the lad dies; and they entomb him; and all Yisra El chops over him — according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the prophet.

And so be it came to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am, that Shishak king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim came up ascended against Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: And he took away the treasures of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the treasures of the king's sovereign's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields bucklers of gold which Solomon Shelomoh had made worked. And king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am made worked in their stead brasen shields copper bucklers, and committed oversaw them unto the hands of the chief governor of the guard runners, which kept guarded the door portal of the king's sovereign's house. And it was so became, when the king sovereign went into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, that the guard runners bare them, and brought turned them back into the guard runners chamber.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him worked at his face: and his heart was not perfect at shalom with the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim, as the heart of David his father. Nevertheless for David's sake did the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim give gave him a lamp in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to set up raise his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem station Yeru Shalem: Because David did worked that which was right straight in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and turned not aside from any thing all that he commanded misvahed him all the days of his life, save only in the matter word of Uriah Uri Yah the Hittite Hethiy.

THE REIGN OF ASA OVER YAH HUDAH And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam Yarob Am, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El reigned Asa over Judah Yah Hudah. And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom Abi Shalom. And Asa did worked that which was right straight in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, as did David his father. And he took passed away the sodomites hallowed whoremongers out of the land, and removed turned aside all the idols that his fathers had made worked. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed turned aside from being queen lady, because she had made worked an idol of awe in a grove an asherah; and Asa destroyed cut off her idol of awe, and burnt it by the brook Kidron wadi Qidron. But the high places bamahs were not removed turned aside: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect at shalom with the L ORD Yah Veh all his days. And he brought in the things which holies of his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated his own holies, into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, silver, and gold, and vessels instruments. And there was war between Asa and Baasha king Basha sovereign of Israel Yisra El all their days. And Baasha king Basha sovereign of Israel Yisra El went up ascended against Judah Yah Hudah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer give any to go out or come in to Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah. Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left remained in the treasures of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the treasures of the king's sovereign's house, and delivered gave them into the hand of his servants: and king sovereign Asa sent them to Benhadad Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimon Tab Rimon, the son of Hezion Hezyon, king sovereign of Syria Aram, that dwelt settled at Damascus Dammeseq, saying, There is a league covenant between me and between thee, and between my father and between thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present bribe of silver and gold; come and break thy league covenant with Baasha king Basha sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that he may depart ascend from me. So Benhadad Ben Hadad hearkened unto king sovereign Asa, and sent the captains governors of the hosts valiant which he had against the cities of Israel Yisra El, and smote Ijon Iyon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah Abel Beth Maachah, and all Cinneroth Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali. And so be it came to pass, when Baasha Basha heard thereof, that he left off ceased building of Ramah, and dwelt settled in Tirzah Tirsah. Then king sovereign Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah had all Yah Hudah hear; none was exempted exonerated: and they took away lifted the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha Basha had builded; and king sovereign Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin Ben Yamin, and Mizpah Mispeh.

THE REIGN OF ASA OVER YAH HUDAH And in the twentieth year of Yarob Am sovereign of Yisra El Asa reigns over Yah Hudah: and he reigns forty—one years in Yeru Shalem. And the name of his mother, Maachah the daughter of Abi Shalom. And Asa works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh as David his father: and he passes the hallowed whoremongers from the land, and turns aside all the idols his fathers worked: and also turns aside his mother Maachah from being lady, because she worked an idol of awe in an asherah; and Asa cuts off her idol of awe and burns it by the wadi Qidron: and the bamahs are not turned aside: only, the heart of Asa is at shalom with Yah Veh all his days: and he brings in the holies of his father and his own holies to the house of Yah Veh — silver and gold and instruments. And so be it, war between Asa and between Basha sovereign of Yisra El all their days: and Basha sovereign of Yisra El ascends against Yah Hudah and builds Ramah that he gives no one to go or to come to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah: and Asa takes all the silver and the gold remaining in the treasures of the house of Yah Veh, and the treasures of the house of the sovereign, and gives them to the hand of his servants: and sovereign Asa sends them to Ben Hadad the son of Tab Rimon the son of Hezyon sovereign of Aram; who settles at Dammeseq, saying, There is a covenant between me and between you, and between my father and between your father: behold, I sent you a bribe of silver and gold; come and break your covenant with Basha sovereign of Yisra El, so that he ascends from me.

So Ben Hadad hearkens unto sovereign Asa, and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and smites Iyon and Dan and Abel Beth Maachah and all Kinneroth with all the land of Naphtali.

And so be it, Basha hears, and he ceases building Ramah and settles in Tirsah. Then sovereign Asa has all Yah Hudah hear — none is exonerated: and they lift the stones of Ramah, and the timber wherewith Basha built; and with them, sovereign Asa builds Geba of Ben Yamin and Mispeh.

And he did worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel Yisra El to sin. And Baasha Basha the son of Ahijah Achiy Yah, of the house of Issachar Yissachar, conspired against him; and Baasha Basha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged was to the Philistines Peleshethiy; for Nadab and all Israel Yisra El laid siege to besieged Gibbethon. Even in the third year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah did Baasha slay Basha deathified him, and reigned in his stead. And so be it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am; he left not to Jeroboam Yarob Am any survivors that breathed hath breath, until he had destroyed desolated him, according unto the saying word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded by the hand of his servant Ahijah Achiy Yah the Shilonite Shilohiy: Because of the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am which he sinned, and which he made Israel Yisra El sin, by his provocation vexation wherewith he provoked vexed the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El to anger. Now the rest of the acts words of Nadab, and all that he did worked, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El?

Yes, Basha deathifies him in the third year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and reigns in his stead. And so be it, he reigns, and he smites all the house of Yarob Am; he leaves Yarob Am no survivors to breathe until he desolates him according unto the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the Shilohiy: because of the sins Yarob Am sins, and which he has Yisra El sin; by his vexation whereby he vexes Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.

And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu Yah Hu the son of Hanani came the word of the L ORD Yah Veh against Baasha Basha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did worked in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh in provoking vexing him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am; and because he killed smote him. THE REIGN OF ELAH OVER YISRA EL In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah began Elah the son of Baasha Basha to reign over Israel Yisra El in Tirzah Tirsah, two years. And his servant Zimri, captain governor of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah Tirsah, drinking himself drunk intoxicated in the house of Arza Arsa steward of his the house in Tirzah Tirsah. And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed deathified him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and reigned in his stead. And so be it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat settled on his throne, that he slew smote all the house of Baasha Basha: he left him let survive not one that pisseth urinateth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks redeemers, nor of his friends. Thus did Zimri destroy desolate all the house of Baasha Basha, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded against Baasha Basha by Jehu the hand of Yah Hu the prophet. For all the sins of Baasha Basha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel Yisra El to sin, in provoking vexing the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El to anger with their vanities. Now the rest of the acts words of Elah, and all that he did worked, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El? THE REIGN OF ZIMRI OVER YISRA EL In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah Tirsah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged be to the Philistines Peleshethiy. And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain smitten the king sovereign: wherefore all Israel Yisra El made Omri, the captain governor of the host, king reign over Israel Yisra El that day in the camp. And Omri went up ascended from Gibbethon, and all Israel Yisra El with him, and they besieged Tirzah Tirsah. And so be it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken captured, that he went into the palace citadel of the king's sovereign's house,

and he of his who dies in the fields, the flyers of the heavens devour. 5

And the rest of the words of Basha and what he worked and his might; are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

And Basha lies down with his fathers — entombed in Tirsah: and Elah his son reigns in his stead. And so be it, by the hand of the prophet Yah Hu the son of Hanani the word of Yah Veh comes against Basha and against his house for all the evil he works in the eyes of Yah Veh — in vexing him with the work of his hands in being as the house of Yarob Am; and because he smote him.

THE REIGN OF ELAH OVER YISRA EL In the twenty—sixth year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Elah the son of Basha begins to reign over Yisra El in Tirsah, two years: and his servant Zimri governor of half his chariots conspires against him as he is in Tirsah — drinking himself intoxicated in the house of Arsa the steward of the house in Tirsah: and Zimri goes in and smites him and deathifies him in the twenty—seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah; and he reigns in his stead. And so be it, he begins to reign; and as soon as he settles on his throne he smites all the house of Basha so that not one who urinates against a wall survives — neither of his redeemers nor of his friends: thus Zimri desolates all the house of Basha; according to the word Yah Veh worded against Basha by the hand of Yah Hu the prophet: for all the sins of Basha and the sins of Elah his son which they sin; and by which they have Yisra El sin; in vexing Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with their vanities. And the rest of the words of Elah, and all he works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? THE REIGN OF ZIMRI OVER YISRA EL In the twenty—seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Zimri reigns seven days in Tirsah. And the people encamp against Gibbethon who are to the Peleshethiy. And the people who encamp hear say, Zimri conspired and smote the sovereign: wherefore all Yisra El has Omri become the governor of the host — to reign over Yisra El that day in the camp: and Omri ascends from Gibbethon with all Yisra El and they besiege Tirsah: and so be it, Zimri sees the city captured, and he goes to the citadel of the house of the sovereign,

and burnt the king's sovereign's house over him with fire, and died. For his sins which he sinned in doing working evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, in walking in the way of Jeroboam Yarob Am, and in his sin which he did worked, to make Israel Yisra El to sin. Now the rest of the acts words of Zimri, and his treason conspiracy that he wrought conspired, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El? THE REIGN OF O MRI OVER YISRA EL Then were the people of Israel Yisra El divided allotted into two parts: half of the people followed were after Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king reign; and half followed were after Omri. But the people that followed were after Omri prevailed against the people that followed were after Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned. In the thirty and first year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah began Omri to reign over Israel Yisra El, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah Tirsah. And he bought chatteled the hill Samaria mount Shomeron of Shemer for two talents rounds of silver, and built on the hill mount, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner adoni of the hill mount, Samaria Shomeron. But Omri wrought worked evil in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and did worse vilified than that were before him above all at their face. For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel Yisra El to sin, to provoke vex the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El to anger with their vanities. Now the rest of the acts words of Omri which he did worked, and his might that he shewed worked, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El? So Omri slept laid with his fathers, and was buried entombed in Samaria Shomeron: and Ahab Ach Ab his son reigned in his stead. THE REIGN OF ACH AB OVER YISRA EL And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah began Ahab Ach Ab the son of Omri to reign over Israel Yisra El: and Ahab Ach Ab the son of Omri reigned over Israel Yisra El in Samaria Shomeron twenty and two years. And Ahab Ach Ab the son of Omri did worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh above all that were before him at his face. And so be it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing trifle for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, that he took to wife woman Jezebel Iy Zebel the daughter of Ethbaal Eth Baal king sovereign of the Zidonians Sidoniy, and went and served Baal, and worshipped prostrated to him. And he reared up an raised a sacrifice altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria Shomeron. And Ahab made a grove Ach Ab worked an asherah; and Ahab did more Ach Ab added to work

and burns the house of the sovereign over himself with fire, and he dies for the sins he sins in working evil in the eyes of Yah Veh — in walking in the way of Yarob Am and in the sin he works to have Yisra El sin. And the rest of the words of Zimri and the conspiracy he conspired: are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? THE REIGN OF O MRI OVER YISRA EL Then the people of Yisra El allot in two parts: half of the people after Tibni the son of Ginath to have him reign; and half after Omri: and the people after Omri prevail against the people after Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni dies and Omri reigns. In the thirty—first year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Omri begins to reign over Yisra El, twelve years: he reigns six years in Tirsah: and he chattels mount Shomeron of Shemer for two rounds of silver; and builds on the mount and calls the name of the city he builds after the name of Shemer adoni of the mount, Shomeron. And Omri works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and vilifies above all at their face: for he walks in all the way of Yarob Am the son of Nebat and in his sin whereby he has Yisra El sin — to vex Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with their vanities.

And the rest of the words Omri works and the might he works; are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

And Omri lies down with his fathers — entombed in Shomeron: and Ach Ab his son reigns in his stead.

THE REIGN OF ACH AB OVER YISRA EL And in the thirty—eighth year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah, Ach Ab the son of Omri begins to reign over Yisra El: and Ach Ab the son of Omri reigns over Yisra El in Shomeron twenty—two years. And Ach Ab the son of Omri works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh above all at his face. And so be it, as trifling for him to walk in the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat, he takes to woman Iy Zebel the daughter of Eth Baal sovereign of the Sidoniy; and goes and serves Baal and prostrates to him: and he raises a sacrifice altar for Baal in the house of Baal he builds in Shomeron: and Ach Ab works an asherah; and Ach Ab adds to work

to provoke vex the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El to anger than all the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El that were before him at their face. In his days did Hiel Hi El the Bethelite Beth Eliy build Jericho Yericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram Abi Ram his firstborn firstbirthed, and set up stationed the gates doors thereof in his youngest lesser son Segub, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded by Joshua the hand of Yah Shua the son of Nun. RAVENS SUSTAIN ELI YAH And Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy, who was of the inhabitants settlers of Gilead Gilad, said unto Ahab Ach Ab, As the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El liveth, before whom at whose face I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word mouth. And the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came unto him, saying, Get thee Go hence, and turn face thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith wadi Kerith, that is before Jordan at the face of Yarden. And so be it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook wadi; and I have commanded misvahed the ravens to feed sustain thee there. So he went and did worked according unto the word of the L ORD Yah Veh: for he went and dwelt settled by the brook Cherith wadi Kerith, that is before Jordan at the face of Yarden. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook wadi. And so be it came to pass, after a while at the end of days, that the brook dried up wadi withered, because there had been no rain in the land. And the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee go to Zarephath Sarephath, which belongeth be to Zidon Sidon, and dwell settle there: behold, I have commanded misvahed a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath Sarephath. And when he came to the gate portal of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks timber: and he called to her, and said, Fetch Take me, I pray beseech thee, a little water in a vessel an instrument, that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch take it, he called to her, and said, Bring Take me, I pray beseech thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim liveth, I have not a cake no bakings, but an handful a palmful of meal flour in a barrel pitcher, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks timbers, that I may go in and dress work it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto her, Fear Awe not; go and do work as thou hast said worded: but make work me thereof a little cake ashcake first, and bring it unto me, and after make work for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, The barrel pitcher of meal flour shall not waste finish, neither shall the cruse of oil fail lack, until the day that the L ORD sendeth Yah Veh giveth rain upon the earth face of the soil.

In his days Hi El the Beth Eliy builds Yericho: he lays the foundation in Abi Ram his firstbirthed and stations the doors in his lesser Segub; according to the word Yah Veh words by the hand of Yah Shua the son of Nun. RAVENS SUSTAIN ELI YAH And Eli Yah the Tisbehiy of the settlers of Gilad, says to Ach Ab, Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, at whose face I stand, neither dew nor rain becomes these years, except as according to my mouth. And the word of Yah Veh comes to him, saying, Go from here and face eastward and hide yourself by the wadi Kerith at the face of Yarden: and so be it, drink of the wadi; and I misvah the ravens to sustain you there. So he goes and works according to the word of Yah Veh: he goes and settles by the wadi Kerith at the face of Yarden: and the ravens bring him bread and flesh in the morning and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drinks of the wadi: and so be it, at the end of days, the wadi withers, there being no rain in the land.

And so be the word of Yah Veh to him, saying, Rise, go to Sarephath, Sidon and settle there: behold, I misvah a widow woman there to sustain you.

So he rises and goes to Sarephath: and he comes to the portal of the city and behold, the widow woman gathers timber: and he calls to her, and says, Take me, I beseech you, a little water in an instrument, to drink.

And she goes to take it, and he calls to her, and says, Take me, I beseech you, a morsel of bread in your hand.

And she says, Yah Veh your Elohim lives, I have no bakings except a palmful of flour in a pitcher and a little oil in a cruse: and behold, I gather two timbers to go in and work for me and my son to eat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and die.

And Eli Yah says to her, Awe not! Go and work as you worded: but first, work me a little ashcake and bring it to me; and after, work for you and for your son: for thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Neither the pitcher of flour finishes off nor the cruse of oil lack until the day Yah Veh gives rain on the face of the soil.

And she went and did worked according to the saying word of Elijah Eli Yah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. And the barrel pitcher of meal flour wasted finished not, neither did the cruse of oil fail lack, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded by Elijah the hand of Eli Yah. ELI YAH ENLIVENS THE SON OF THE WIDOW And so be it came to pass, after these things words, that the son of the woman, the mistress baalah of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore mighty strong, that there was remained no breath left in him. And she said unto Elijah Eli Yah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God Elohim? art thou come unto me to call my sin perversity to remembrance, and to slay deathify my son? And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried ascended him up into a loft an upper room, where he abode settled, and laid him upon his own bed. And he cried called out unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, O L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, hast thou also brought evil upon vilified the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying deathifying her son? And he stretched measured himself upon the child three times, and cried called out unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, O L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, I pray beseech thee, let this child's soul come return into him again his inwards. And the LORD Yah Veh heard the voice of Elijah Eli Yah; and the soul of the child came returned into him again his inwards, and he revived lived. And Elijah Eli Yah took the child, and brought descended him down out of the chamber upper room into the house, and delivered gave him unto his mother: and Elijah Eli Yah said, See, thy son liveth. And the woman said to Elijah Eli Yah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God Elohim, and that the word of the L ORD Yah Veh in thy mouth is truth. ELI YAH AND O BAD YAH And so be it came to pass, after many days, that the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to Elijah Eli Yah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab be seen by Ach Ab; and I will send shall give rain upon the earth face of the soil. And Elijah Eli Yah went to shew himself unto Ahab be seen of Ach Ab. And there was a sore strong famine in Samaria Shomeron. And Ahab Ach Ab called Obadiah Obad Yah, which was the governor of his the house. (Now Obadiah Obad Yah feared the L ORD greatly awed Yah Veh mightily: For it was so became, when Jezebel Iy Zebel cut off the prophets of the L ORD Yah Veh, that Obadiah Obad Yah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty men in a cave, and fed sustained them with bread and water.) And Ahab Ach Ab said unto Obadiah Obad Yah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks wadies: peradventure perhaps we may find grass leeks to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not cut off all the beasts animals. So they divided allotted the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab Ach Ab went one way by himself, and Obadiah Obad Yah went another one way by himself. And as Obadiah Obad Yah was in the way, behold,

And she goes and works according to the word of Eli Yah: and she and he and her house, eat for days: and neither the pitcher of flour finishes off nor the cruse of oil lacks; according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of Eli Yah. ELI YAH ENLIVENS THE SON OF THE WIDOW And so be it, after these words, the son of the woman, the baalah of the house, falls sick; and his sickness is mighty strong, no breath remains in him.

And she says to Eli Yah, What have I to do with you, O you man of Elohim? Come you to me to call my perversity to remembrance and to deathify my son?

And he says to her, Give me your son.

And he takes him from her bosom and ascends him into an upper room where he settles and lays him down on his own bed: and he calls to Yah Veh and says, O Yah Veh my Elohim, vilify you the widow with whom I sojourn by deathifying her son?

And he measures himself on the child three times and calls to Yah Veh and says, O Yah Veh my Elohim, I beseech you, return the soul of this child into his inwards.

And Yah Veh hears the voice of Eli Yah; and he returns the soul of the child into his inwards and he lives.

And Eli Yah takes the child and descends him from the upper room in the house and gives him to his mother: and Eli Yah says, See, your son lives.

And the woman says to Eli Yah, Now this I know that you are a man of Elohim and that the word of Yah Veh in your mouth is truth.

ELI YAH AND O BAD YAH And so be it, after many days, the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah in the third year, saying, Go, be seen by Ach Ab; and I give rain on the face of the soil. — and Eli Yah goes and is seen by Ach Ab. — and the famine in Shomeron is strong. And Ach Ab calls Obad Yah the governor of the house. — and Obad Yah awes Yah Veh mightily. And so be it, Iy Zebel cuts off the prophets of Yah Veh, and Obad Yah takes a hundred prophets and hides the men in a cave by fifties; and sustains them with bread and water.

And Ach Ab says to Obad Yah, Go to the land — to all fountains of water and to all wadies: perhaps we find leeks to save the horses and mules alive and not cut off all the animals.

So they allot the land between them to pass throughout it: Ach Ab goes one way by himself and Obad Yah goes one way by himself: and Obad Yah is in the way, and behold,

Elijah Eli Yah met him: and he knew recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah adoni Eli Yah? And he answered said to him, I am: go, tell say to thy lord adoni, Behold, Elijah Eli Yah is here. And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest shouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab Ach Ab, to slay deathify me? As the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim liveth, there is no nation goyim or kingdom sovereigndom, whither my lord adoni hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there No; he took an oath oathed of the kingdom sovereigndom and nation goyim, that they found thee not. And now thou sayest, Go, tell say to thy lord adoni, Behold, Elijah Eli Yah is here. And so be it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the L ORD Yah Veh shall carry lift thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab Ach Ab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay slaughter me: but I thy servant fear the L ORD awe Yah Veh from my youth. Was it not told my lord adoni what I did worked when Jezebel Iy Zebel slew slaughtered the prophets of the LORD Yah Veh, how I hid an hundred men of the L ORD'S Yah Veh's prophets by fifty men in a cave, and fed sustained them with bread and water? And now thou sayest, Go, tell say to thy lord adoni, Behold, Elijah Eli Yah is here: and he shall slay slaughter me. And Elijah Eli Yah said, As the L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth liveth, before whom at whose face I stand, I will shall surely shew myself unto be seen by him to day. So Obadiah Obad Yah went to meet Ahab Ach Ab, and told him: and Ahab Ach Ab went to meet Elijah Eli Yah. And so be it came to pass, when Ahab Ach Ab saw Elijah Eli Yah, that Ahab Ach Ab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel Yisra El? And he answered said, I have not troubled Israel Yisra El; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments misvoth of the L ORD Yah Veh, and thou hast followed walked after Baalim. Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel Yisra El unto mount Carmel Karmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves asherim four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's Iy Zebel's table. So Ahab Ach Ab sent unto all the children sons of Israel Yisra El, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel Karmel. And Elijah Eli Yah came near unto all the people, and said, How long halt limp ye between divided in two opinions? if the L ORD Yah Veh be God Elohim, follow go after him: but if Baal, then follow go after him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah Eli Yah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the L ORD Yah Veh; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut dismember it in pieces, and lay set it on wood timber, and put set no fire under: and I will dress the other shall work one bullock, and lay give it on wood timber, and put set no fire under:

Eli Yah meets him and he recognizes him and falls on his face and says, Are you he — my adoni Eli Yah? 8

And he says to him, I: go, say to your adoni, Behold, Eli Yah!

And he says, What have I sinned, that you deliver your servant to the hand of Ach Ab, to deathify me? Yah Veh your Elohim lives, there is no goyim or sovereigndom, where my adoni has not sent to seek you: and when they say, Not here! — he has the sovereigndom and goyim oath that they found you not. And now you say, Go, say to your adoni, Behold, Eli Yah: and so be it, as I go from you, the Spirit of Yah Veh lifts you — I know not where; and when I come and tell Ach Ab, and he finds you not, he slaughters me: and your servant awes Yah Veh from my youth. Has not my adoni been told what I worked; when Iy Zebel slaughtered the prophets of Yah Veh; how I hid a hundred men of the prophets of Yah Veh — by fifty men in a cave and sustained them with bread and water? And now you say, Go, say to your adoni, Behold, Eli Yah! — and he slaughters me.

11 12

And Eli Yah says, Yah Veh Sabaoth lives, at whose face I stand, surely, today I am seen by him.

So Obad Yah goes to meet Ach Ab and tells him: and Ach Ab goes to meet Eli Yah: and so be it, Ach Ab sees Eli Yah, and Ach Ab says to him, Are you he who troubles Yisra El?

And he says, Not I who troubles Yisra El: but you and the house of your father in that you forsake the misvoth of Yah Veh and walk after Baalim: and now send; gather all Yisra El to me to mount Karmel and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty and the prophets of the asherim four hundred who eat at the table of Iy Zebel. — and Ach Ab sends to all the sons of Yisra El and gathers the prophets to mount Karmel.

And Eli Yah comes near all the people, and says, How long limp you divided in two? If Yah Veh be Elohim, go after him! And if Baal, go after him! — and the people answer him not a word.

Then Eli Yah says to the people, I — I only, remain a prophet of Yah Veh; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men: have them give us two bullocks; and they choose one bullock for themselves and dismember it and set it on timber and set no fire: and I work one bullock and give it on timber and set no fire:

And call ye on the name of your gods elohim, and I will shall call on the name of the L ORD Yah Veh: and the God elohim that answereth by fire, let him be God Elohim. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken Good word. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress work it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods elohim, but put set no fire under. And they took the bullock which was given he gave them, and they dressed worked it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear answer us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the sacrifice altar which was made worked. And it came to pass became at noon, that Elijah Eli Yah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud Call out with a great voice: for he is a god elohim; either he is talking meditateth, or he is pursuing withdraweth, or he is in a journey, or peradventure perhaps he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud called out with a great voice, and cut incised themselves after their manner judgment with knives swords and lancets javelins, till the blood gushed poured out upon them. And so be it came to pass, when midday noon was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering holocaust of the evening sacrifice offering, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded hearkened. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired healed the sacrifice altar of the LORD Yah Veh that was broken down demolished. And Elijah Eli Yah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes scions of the sons of Jacob Yaaqov, unto whom the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came, saying, Israel Yisra El shall be thy name: And with the stones he built an a sacrifice altar in the name of the L ORD Yah Veh: and he made worked a trench channel round about the sacrifice altar, as great as would contain to house two measures seahs of seed. And he put lined up the wood timber in order, and cut dismembered the bullock in pieces, and laid set him on the wood timber, and said, Fill four barrels pitchers with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice holocaust, and on the wood timber. And he said, Do it the second time Double. And they did it the second time doubled. And he said, Do it the third time Triple. And they did it the third time tripled. And the water ran went round about the sacrifice altar; and he filled the trench channel also with water. And so be it came to pass, at the time of the offering holocaust of the evening sacrifice offering, that Elijah Eli Yah the prophet came near, and said, L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Isaac Yischaq, and of Israel Yisra El, let it be known this day that thou art God Elohim in Israel Yisra El, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done worked all these things at thy word.

and you call on the name of your elohim and I call on the name of Yah Veh: and the elohim who answers by fire — he is Elohim. And all the people answer and say, Good word.

And Eli Yah says to the prophets of Baal, Choose one bullock for yourselves and work it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your elohim, but set no fire. And they take the bullock he gives them and they work it; and call on the name of Baal from morning even until noon saying, O Baal, answer us. — and there is neither voice, nor answer: and they leap on the sacrifice altar they worked.

And so be it, at noon, Eli Yah mocks them and says, Call out with a great voice; for he is elohim: either he meditates or withdraws or journeys or perhaps he sleeps and wakens.

And they call with a great voice and incise themselves according to their judgment with swords and javelins, until blood pours over them: and so be it, noon passes, and they prophesy until the holocaust of the offering; and there is neither voice nor any answering, nor any hearkening.

And Eli Yah says to all the people, Come near to me. — and all the people come near him. And he heals the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh that is demolished: and Eli Yah takes twelve stones — according to the number of the scions of the sons of Yaaqov, — to whom the word of Yah Veh became saying, Yisra El becomes your name: and with the stones he builds a sacrifice altar in the name of Yah Veh: and he works a channel all around the sacrifice altar to house two seahs of seed: and he lines up the timber and dismembers the bullock and sets him on the timber and says, Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the holocaust and on the timber. And he says, Double! — and they double. And he says, Triple! — and they triple.

And the water goes all around the sacrifice altar; and he also fills the channel with water.

And so be it, at the holocaust of the offering, Eli Yah the prophet comes near and says, Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Yischaq, and Yisra El, so be it known this day that you are Elohim in Yisra El and I your servant: and by your word I work all these.

Then the fire of Yah Veh falls; and consumes the holocaust and the timber and the stones and the dust and licks up the water in the channel.

And all the people see, and fall on their faces and say, Yah Veh, he is Elohim! Yah Veh, he is Elohim!

And Eli Yah says to them, Apprehend the prophets of Baal; that not a man of them escape. — and they apprehend them.

Hear Answer me, O L ORD Yah Veh, hear answer me, that this people may know that thou art the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim, and that thou hast turned their heart back again backward. Then the fire of the L ORD Yah Veh fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice holocaust, and the wood timber, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench channel. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The L ORD Yah Veh, he is the God Elohim; the L ORD Yah Veh, he is the God Elohim. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto them, Take Apprehend the prophets of Baal; let not one a man of them escape. And they took apprehended them: and Elijah brought Eli Yah descended them down to the brook Kishon wadi Qishon, and slew slaughtered them there. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto Ahab Ach Ab, Get thee up Ascend, eat and drink; for there is a sound voice of abundance multitude of rain. So Ahab went up Ach Ab ascended to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up Eli Yah ascended to the top of Carmel Karmel; and he cast prostrated himself down upon the earth, and put set his face between his knees, And said to his servant lad, Go up Ascend now, look toward the way of the sea. And he went up ascended, and looked, and said, There is nothing naught. And he said, Go again Turn back seven times. And so be it came to pass, at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth ascendeth a little thick cloud out of the sea, like as a man's hand palm. And he said, Go up Ascend, say unto Ahab Ach Ab, Prepare Bind thy chariot, and get thee down descend that the rain stop restrain thee not. And it came to pass in the mean while became thus, that the heaven was black heavens were darkened with thick clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab Ach Ab rode, and went to Jezreel Yizre El. And the hand of the L ORD Yah Veh was on Elijah Eli Yah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab at the face of Ach Ab to the entrance of Jezreel Yizre El. ELI YAH FLEES FROM I Y ZEBEL And Ahab Ach Ab told Jezebel Iy Zebel all that Elijah Eli Yah had done worked, and withal how he had slain slaughtered all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel Iy Zebel sent a messenger an angel unto Elijah Eli Yah, saying, So let the gods do elohim work to me, and more add also, if I make set not thy life soul as the life soul of one of them by to morrow about this time. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life soul, and came to Beersheba Beer Sheba, which belongeth be to Judah Yah Hudah, and left set his servant lad there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down settled under a one juniper tree: and he requested asked for himself his soul that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD Yah Veh, take away my life soul; for I am not better than my fathers. And as he lay and slept under a one juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake an ashcake baken on the coals red hot stones, and a cruse of water at his head pieces.

And Eli Yah descends them to the wadi Qishon and slaughters them there. 41 42

And Eli Yah says to Ach Ab, Ascend; eat and drink; for there is a voice of multitude of rain. — and Ach Ab ascends to eat and to drink. And Eli Yah ascends to the top of Karmel and prostrates himself on the earth and set his face between his knees and says to his lad, Ascend now; look the way of the sea. And he ascends and looks and says, Naught! And he says, Turn back seven times.

And so be it, at the seventh he says, Behold, a little thick cloud ascends from the sea — as a palm of a man. And he says, Ascend, say to Ach Ab, Bind; and descend that the rain not restrain you.

And so be it, the heavens darken — thick clouds and wind and a great rain. — and Ach Ab rides and goes to Yizre El.

And the hand of Yah Veh is on Eli Yah; and he girds his loins and runs at the face of Ach Ab to enter Yizre El.

ELI YAH FLEES FROM I Y ZEBEL And Ach Ab tells Iy Zebel all Eli Yah worked; and how he slaughtered all the prophets with the sword.

And Iy Zebel sends an angel to Eli Yah, saying, Thus work the elohim and add also; about this time tomorrow I set your soul as the soul of one of them.

And he sees and rises and goes for his soul and comes to Beer Sheba, Yah Hudah and sets his lad there; and goes by himself a journey of a day into the wilderness and comes and settles under one juniper: and he asks for his soul to die; and says, Enough now, O Yah Veh, take away my soul; for I am no better than my fathers.

And as he lies down and sleeps under one juniper, behold, an angel touches him and says to him, Rise! Eat!

And he looks, and behold, an ashcake baked on red hot stones and a cruse of water at his head pieces.

And the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh came again returned the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. ELI YAH IN MOUNT HOREB And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength substance of that meat food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God Elohim. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged stayed overnight there; and, behold, the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah Eli Yah? And he said, In being jealous, I have been very jealous for the L ORD God of hosts Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: for the children sons of Israel Yisra El have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine demolished thy sacrifice altars, and slain slaughtered thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left remain; and they seek my life soul, to take it away. And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. And, behold, the L ORD Yah Veh passed by, and a great and strong wind rent split the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh; but the L ORD Yah Veh was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake a quake; but the L ORD Yah Veh was not in the earthquake quake: And after the earthquake quake a fire; but the L ORD Yah Veh was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small thin voice. And it was so became, when Elijah Eli Yah heard it, that he wrapped veiled his face in his mighty mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in opening of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah Eli Yah? And he said, In being jealous, I have been very jealous for the L ORD God of hosts Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: because the children sons of Israel Yisra El have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine demolished thy sacrifice altars, and slain slaughtered thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left remain; and they seek my life soul, to take it away. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus Dammeseq: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael Haza El to be king sovereign over Syria Aram: And Jehu Yah Hu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king sovereign over Israel Yisra El: and Elisha Eli Shua the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah Abel Mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room stead. And so be it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael Haza El shall Jehu slay Yah Hu deathify and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu Yah Hu shall Elisha slay Eli Shua deathify. Yet I have left survived me seven thousand in Israel Yisra El, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. So he departed went thence, and found Elisha Eli Shua the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him at his face, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah Eli Yah passed by him, and cast his mighty mantle upon him.

And he eats and drinks and returns and lies down. 7

ELI YAH IN MOUNT HOREB And he rises and eats and drinks and goes in the substance of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of Elohim: and he comes to a cave and stays there overnight; and behold, the word of Yah Veh to him and says to him, What — to you here, Eli Yah?

And behold, a voice says to him, What — to you here, Eli Yah?

And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: because the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I — I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul.

And he returned back afterward from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew sacrificed them, and boiled stewed their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah Eli Yah, and ministered unto him. ARAM ATTACKS SHOMERON And Benhadad Ben Hadad the king sovereign of Syria Aram gathered all his host valiant together: and there were thirty and two kings sovereigns with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up ascended and besieged Samaria Shomeron, and warred fought against it. And he sent messengers angels to Ahab Ach Ab, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad Ben Hadad, Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives women also and thy children sons, even the goodliest, are mine.

And Ahab Ach Ab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Even by the young men lads of the princes governors of the provinces jurisdictions. Then he said, Who shall order bind the battle war? And he answered said, Thou. Then he numbered mustered the young men lads of the princes governors of the provinces jurisdictions, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered mustered all the people, even all the children sons of Israel Yisra El, being seven thousand.

And do work this thing word, Take Turn aside the kings sovereigns away, every man out of his place, and put captains set governors in their rooms stead: And number thee an army the valiant, like the army valiant that thou hast lost hath fallen, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will shall fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they prevail over them.

And the children sons of Israel Yisra El were numbered mustered, and were all present maintained, and went against to meet them: and the children sons of Israel Yisra El pitched before encamped in front of them like two little flocks of kids bare doe goats; but the Syrians Aramiy filled the country land. And there came near a man of God Elohim, and spake said unto the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, and said, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Because the Syrians Aramiy have said, The L ORD Yah Veh is God Elohim of the hills mountains, but he is not God Elohim of the valleys, therefore will shall I deliver give all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the L ORD I — Yah Veh. And they pitched encamped one over against the other seven days. And so it was became, that in the seventh day the battle was joined war approached: and the children sons of Israel Yisra El slew smote of the Syrians Aramiy an hundred thousand footmen on foot in one day. But the rest remaining fled to Aphek Apheq, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left remained. And Benhadad Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber. And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings sovereigns of the house of Israel Yisra El are merciful kings sovereigns: let us, I pray beseech thee, put sackcloth set saq on our loins, and ropes lines upon our heads, and go out to the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El: perhaps he will save thy life shall let thy soul live.

And he said, Is he yet alive? He is my brother. Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him prognosticated of him, and did hastily catch they hasted and snatched it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad Ben Hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring take him. Then Benhadad came forth Ben Hadad went to him; and he caused him to come up ascend into the chariot. And Benhadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will shall restore; and thou shalt make streets set outways for thee in Damascus Dammeseq, as my father made set in Samaria Shomeron. Then said Ahab he, I will shall send thee away with this covenant. So he made cut a covenant with him, and sent him away. A S ON OF THE PROPHETS ORDERS A SMITING And a certain one man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour friend in the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, Smite me, I pray beseech thee. And the man refused to smite him. Then said he unto him,

And so be it, at the turn of the year, Ben Hadad musters the Aramiy and ascends to Apheq to war against Yisra El: and the sons of Yisra El are mustered and maintained; and go to meet them: and the sons of Yisra El encamp in front of them as two bare doe goats; and the Aramiy fill the land.

And a man of Elohim comes near and says to the sovereign of Yisra El and says, Thus says Yah Veh, Because the Aramiy say, Yah Veh is Elohim of the mountains, but he is not Elohim of the valleys, I give all this great multitude into your hand, that you know I — Yah Veh.

And they encamp one over against the other seven days. And so be it, in the seventh day, the war approaches: and the sons of Yisra El smite of the Aramiy a hundred thousand on foot in one day: and the remaining flee to Apheq — to the city; and a wall falls on twenty—seven thousand of the men who remain: and Ben Hadad flees and comes to the city — to an inner chamber.

And his servants say to him, Behold now, we hear that the sovereigns of the house of Yisra El are merciful sovereigns: have us, I beseech you, set saq on our loins and lines on our heads and go to the sovereign of Yisra El: peradventure he keeps your soul alive.

And they gird saq on their loins and put lines on their heads and come to the sovereign of Yisra El and say, Your servant Ben Hadad says, I beseech you, may my soul live. And he says, Is he still alive? he is my brother.

Now the men prognosticate of him and they hasten and snatch: and they say, Your brother Ben Hadad. Then he says, Go! Take him! Then Ben Hadad goes to him; and he ascends him into the chariot and says to him, The cities my father took from your father, I restore; and set outways for yourself in Dammeseq, as my father set in Shomeron.

Then he finds another man and says, Smite me, I beseech you. — and the man smites him, so that in smiting he wounds him.

So the prophet goes and stands by for the sovereign by the way and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes: and as the sovereign passes by, he cries to the sovereign and he says, Your servant goes midst the war; and behold, a man turns aside and brings a man to me and says, Guard this man: if in missing, he is missing, then your soul is for his soul; or else weigh a round of silver. — and as your servant works here and there, and he is nowhere.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says to him, Thus your judgment — as you appoint. 41

21 2

And he hastens and turns aside the ashes from his eyes; and the sovereign of Yisra El recognizes that he is of the prophets; and he says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Because you send away from your hand a man whom I devoted to destruction, so be it, your soul for his soul and your people for his people. And the sovereign of Yisra El goes to his house peeved and enraged and comes to Shomeron. ACH AB COVETS THE VINEYARD OF NABOTH And so be it, after these words, Naboth the Yizre Eliy has a vineyard in Yizre El beside the temple of Ach Ab sovereign of Shomeron: and Ach Ab words to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard to be my garden of greens because it is beside my house: and for it, I give you a better vineyard; or if it seems good in your eyes, I give you the price in silver.

And Naboth says to Ach Ab, Far be it, to give you the inheritance of my fathers.

And Ach Ab comes to his house peeved and enraged because of the word Naboth the Yizre Eliy words to him: for he said, I give you not the inheritance of my fathers: and he lies down on his bed and turns away his face and eats no bread.

And Iy Zebel his woman comes to him and words to him, Why is your spirit so peeved, that you eat no bread?

And he says to her, Because I word to Naboth the Yizre Eliy and say to him, Give me your vineyard for silver; or else, if it delight you, I give you a vineyard for it: and he says, I give you not my vineyard.

And Iy Zebel his woman says to him, Work you not the sovereigndom of Yisra El?

So she wrote letters inscribed scrolls in Ahab's Ach Ab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters scrolls unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling settling with Naboth. And she wrote inscribed in the letters scrolls, saying, Proclaim Call a fast, and set seat Naboth on high among the head of the people: And set two men, sons of Belial Beli Yaal, before in front of him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme bless God Elohim and the king sovereign. And then carry bring him out, and stone him, that he may die. And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants settled in his city, did worked as Jezebel Iy Zebel had sent unto them, and as it was written inscribed in the letters scrolls which she had sent unto them. They proclaimed called a fast, and set seated Naboth on high among the head of the people. And there came in two men, children sons of Belial Beli Yaal, and sat before settled in front of him: and the men of Belial Beli Yaal witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God blessed Elohim and the king sovereign. Then they carried brought him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died. Then they sent to Jezebel Iy Zebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead hath died. And so be it came to pass, when Jezebel Iy Zebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead had died, that Jezebel Iy Zebel said to Ahab Ach Ab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizre Eliy, which he refused to give thee for money silver: for Naboth is not alive, but dead hath died. And so be it came to pass, when Ahab Ach Ab heard that Naboth was dead died, that Ahab Ach Ab rose up to go down descend to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizre Eliy, to take possession of it. And the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy, saying, Arise, go down descend to meet Ahab Ach Ab king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, which is in Samaria Shomeron: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down hath descended to possess it. And thou shalt speak word unto him, saying, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Hast thou killed murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak word thou unto him, saying, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, In the place where dogs licked lapped the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick lap thy blood, even thine. And Ahab Ach Ab said to Elijah Eli Yah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered said, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh. Behold, I will shall bring evil upon thee, and will take shall burn away thy posterity, and will shall cut off from Ahab Ach Ab him that pisseth urinateth against the wall, and him that is shut up restrained and left in Israel Yisra El, And will make shall give thine house

So she inscribes scrolls in the name of Ach Ab and seals them with his seal: and sends the scrolls to the elders and to the nobles in his city who settle with Naboth: and she inscribes in the scrolls, saying, Call a fast and seat Naboth the head of the people: and set two men, sons of Beli Yaal, in front of him, to witness against him, saying, You bless Elohim and the sovereign. — and then bring him out and stone him that he die. And the men of his city — the elders and the nobles who settle in his city work as Iy Zebel sent them — as inscribed in the scrolls she sent them: they call a fast and seat Naboth at the head of the people. And two men come in — sons of Beli Yaal and settle in front of him: and the men of Beli Yaal witness against him — against Naboth in the presence of the people saying, Naboth blesses Elohim and the sovereign. And they bring him from the city and stone him with stones that he dies: and they send to Iy Zebel, saying, They stoned Naboth and he died.

And so be it, Iy Zebel hears they stoned Naboth and he died, and Iy Zebel says to Ach Ab, Rise! Possess the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre Eliy which he refused to give you for silver: for Naboth is not alive, but died.

And so be it, Ach Ab hears that Naboth died, and Ach Ab rises to descend to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre Eliy, to possess it.

And the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying, Rise! Descend to meet Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El, who is in Shomeron: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he descends to possess it: and word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: You — murder? And also possess?

And word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: In the place dogs lapped the blood of Naboth dogs lap your blood — even yours. 20

And Ach Ab says to Eli Yah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he says, I have found: because you sold yourself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: behold, I bring evil on you and burn away your posterity and cut off from Ach Ab all who urinate against the wall and who are restrained and left in Yisra El: and give your house

like the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha Basha the son of Ahijah Achiy Yah, for the provocation vexation wherewith thou hast provoked vexed me to anger, and made Israel Yisra El to sin. And of Jezebel Iy Zebel also spake the L ORD worded Yah Veh, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel devour Iy Zebel by the wall trench of Jezreel Yizre El. Him that dieth of Ahab Ach Ab in the city the dogs shall eat devour; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls flyers of the air eat heavens devour. But there was none like unto Ahab Ach Ab, which did sell himself to work wickedness evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, whom Jezebel Iy Zebel his wife stirred up woman goaded. And he did very abominably mighty abhorrently in following going after idols, according to all things as did worked the Amorites Emoriy, whom the L ORD cast out Yah Veh dispossessed before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. And so be it came to pass, when Ahab Ach Ab heard those words, that he rent ripped his clothes, and put sackcloth set saq upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth saq, and went softly walked gently. And the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy, saying, Seest thou how Ahab Ach Ab humbleth himself before me at my face? because he humbleth himself before me at my face, I will shall not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will shall I bring the evil upon his house. THE THIRD WAR OF ACH AB WITH ARAM And they continued settled three years without war between Syria Aram and Israel Yisra El. And so be it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah came down descended to the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead Gilad is ours, and we be still hushed, and take it not out of the hand of the king sovereign of Syria Aram? And he said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, Wilt Shalt thou go with me to battle war to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad? And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said to the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses. And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said unto the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, Enquire, I pray beseech thee, at the word of the L ORD Yah Veh to day. Then the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad to battle war, or shall I forbear cease? And they said, Go up Ascend; for the Lord Adonay shall deliver give it into the hand of the king sovereign. And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the L ORD Yah Veh besides, that we might enquire of him? And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah Michah Yah the son of Imlah Yimlah, by whom we may enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh:

as the house of Yarob Am the son of Nebat and as the house of Basha the son of Achiy Yah for the vexation whereby you vex me and have Yisra El sin. 23 24

25 26

And Yah Veh also words of Iy Zebel, saying, The dogs devour Iy Zebel by the trench of Yizre El. He who dies of Ach Ab in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour. Surely there is none like Ach Ab who sold himself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh — whom Iy Zebel his woman goaded. And he mighty abhorrently goes after idols according to all the Emoriy worked — whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

And so be it, Ach Ab hears those words, and he rips his clothes and sets saq on his flesh and fasts and lies down in saq and walks gently.

And the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying, See how Ach Ab humbles himself at my face? Because he humbles himself at my face I bring no evil in his days: but in the days of his son I bring the evil on his house.

THE THIRD WAR OF ACH AB WITH ARAM And they settle three years without war between Aram and Yisra El: and so be it, in the third year, Yah Shaphat the sovereign of Yah Hudah descends to the sovereign of Yisra El.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says to his servants, Know you not that Ramoth Gilad is ours? And we hush in taking it from the hand of the sovereign of Aram?

And he says to Yah Shaphat, Come with me to war to Ramoth Gilad? And Yah Shaphat says to the sovereign of Yisra El, I as you; my people as your people; my horses as your horses.

And Yah Shaphat says to the sovereign of Yisra El, Enquire, I beseech you today, the word of Yah Veh.

And the sovereign of Yisra El gathers the prophets — about four hundred men and says to them, Go I to war against Ramoth Gilad? Or cease I? And they say, Ascend; for Adonay gives it in the hand of the sovereign.

And Yah Shaphat says, Is there not a prophet of Yah Veh here — to enquire of him?

And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, There is still one man, Michah Yah the son of Yimlah, by whom we may enquire of Yah Veh:

but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said, Let not the king sovereign say so. Then the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El called an officer one eunuch, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah Michah Yah the son of Imlah Yimlah. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah sat settled each man on his throne, having put on enrobed their robes clothes, in a void place threshingfloor in the entrance opening of the gate portal of Samaria Shomeron; and all the prophets prophesied before them at their face. And Zedekiah Sidqi Yah the son of Chenaanah Kenaanah made worked him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, With these shalt thou push butt the Syrians Aramiy, until thou have consumed finished them off. And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up Ascend to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad, and prosper: for the L ORD Yah Veh shall deliver give it into the king's sovereign's hand. MICHAH YAH PROPHESIES DEFEAT And the messenger angel that was gone to call Micaiah Michah Yah spake worded unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare are good unto the king sovereign with one mouth: let thy word, I pray beseech thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak word that which is good. And Micaiah Michah Yah said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, what the L ORD Yah Veh saith unto me, that will shall I speak word. So he came to the king sovereign. And the king sovereign said unto him, Micaiah Michah Yah, shall we go against Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad to battle war, or shall we forbear cease? And he answered said to him, Go Ascend, and prosper: for the L ORD Yah Veh shall deliver give it into the hand of the king sovereign. And the king sovereign said unto him, How many times shall I adjure oath thee that thou tell word me nothing naught but that which is true truth in the name of the L ORD Yah Veh? And he said, I saw all Israel Yisra El scattered upon the hills mountains, as sheep flocks that have not a shepherd no tender: and the L ORD Yah Veh said, These have no master adoni: let them return every man to his house in peace shalom. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, Did I not tell say to thee that he would should prophesy no good concerning me, but evil? And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the L ORD Yah Veh: I saw the L ORD sitting Yah Veh settled on his throne, and all the host of heaven the heavens standing by him on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD Yah Veh said, Who shall persuade Ahab entice Ach Ab, that he may go up ascend and fall at Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad? And this one said on this manner thus, and another that one said on that manner thus. And there came forth went a spirit, and stood before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, and said, I will persuade shall entice him. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto him, Wherewith How? And he said, I will shall go forth,

but I hate him; for he prophesies no good concerning me; but evil. And Yah Shaphat says, O that the sovereign not say thus. 9

Then the sovereign of Yisra El calls one eunuch and says, Hasten Michah Yah the son of Yimlah!

And the sovereign of Yisra El and Yah Shaphat the sovereign of Yah Hudah settle — each man on his throne; their clothes enrobed; in a threshingfloor in the opening of the portal of Shomeron: and all the prophets prophesy at their face.

And Sidqi Yah the son of Kenaanah works himself horns of iron: and he says, Thus says Yah Veh, But the Aramiy with these until you finish them off.

And all the prophets prophesy thus, saying, Ascend to Ramoth Gilad and prosper: for Yah Veh gives it in the hand of the sovereign.

MICHAH YAH PROPHESIES DEFEAT And the angel who goes to call Michah Yah words to him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are good to the sovereign with one mouth: and so be it, I beseech you, your word as their word — a good word.

And Michah Yah says, Yah Veh lives: what Yah Veh says to me, I word.

And he comes to the sovereign; and the sovereign says to him, Michah Yah, Go we to war against Ramoth Gilad? Or cease? And he says to him, Ascend and prosper: for Yah Veh gives it into the hand of the sovereign.

And the sovereign says to him, How many times oath I you that you word me naught but truth in the name of Yah Veh?

And he says, I see all Yisra El scattered on the mountains as flocks with no tender: and Yah Veh says, These have no adoni: return them — every man to his house in shalom.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, Said I not to you that he prophesies no good concerning me — but evil?

And he says, Therefore hear the word of Yah Veh: I see Yah Veh settled on his throne and all the host of the heavens stand by him at his right and at his left. And Yah Veh says, Who entices Ach Ab to ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilad? And this one says thus; and that one says thus: and a spirit goes and stands at the face of Yah Veh and says, I entice him.

Now therefore, behold, the L ORD Yah Veh hath put given a lying false spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken worded evil concerning thee. But Zedekiah Sidqi Yah the son of Chenaanah went Kenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah Michah Yah on the cheek, and said, Which way went Where passed the Spirit of the L ORD Yah Veh from me to speak word unto thee? And Micaiah Michah Yah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said, Take Micaiah Michah Yah, and carry return him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash Yah Ash the king's sovereign's son; And say, Thus saith the king sovereign, Put Set this fellow one in the prison house, and feed him with have him eat bread of affliction oppression and with water of affliction oppression, until I come in peace shalom. And Micaiah Michah Yah said, If in returning, thou return at all in peace shalom, the L ORD Yah Veh hath not spoken worded by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you. ACH AB DEATHIFIED So the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah went up ascended to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, I will shall disguise myself, and enter into the battle war; but put enrobe thou on thy robes clothes. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El disguised himself, and went into the battle war. But the king sovereign of Syria Aram commanded misvahed his thirty and two captains governors that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El. And so be it came to pass, when the captains governors of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat cried out. And so be it came to pass, when the captains governors of the chariots perceived saw that it was not the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that they turned back from pursuing after him. And a certain man drew a bow at a venture in his integrity, and smote the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El between the joints of the harness habergeon: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot charioteer, Turn thine hand, and carry bring me out of the host camp; for I am wounded sick.

And there went passed a proclamation shout throughout the host camp

and I become a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he says, Entice him and also prevail: Go! Work thus! 23

And now behold, Yah Veh gives a false spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets and Yah Veh words evil concerning you.

And Sidqi Yah the son of Kenaanah comes near and smites Michah Yah on the cheek and says, Where passes the Spirit of Yah Veh from me to word to you?

And Michah Yah says, Behold, you see in that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says, Take Michah Yah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Yah Ash the son of the sovereign: and say, Thus says the sovereign, Set this one in the prison house; and have him eat bread of oppression and water of oppression, until I come in shalom.

And Michah Yah says, If in returning, you return in shalom, Yah Veh words not thus by me. And he says, Hearken, O people — all of you.

YAH VEH J UDGES ACHAZ YAH Then And Moab rebelled against Israel Yisra El after the death of Ahab Ach Ab. And Ahaziah Achaz Yah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber room that was in Samaria Shomeron, and was sick: and he sent messengers angels, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub Baal Zebub the god elohim of Ekron Eqron whether I shall recover live of this disease sickness. But the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh said worded to Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy, Arise, go up ascend to meet the messengers angels of the king sovereign of Samaria Shomeron, and say word unto them, Is it not because there is not a God Elohim in Israel Yisra El, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub Baal Zebub the god elohim of Ekron Eqron? Now therefore thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Thou shalt not come down descend from that bed on which thou art gone up ascended, but in dying, shalt surely die. And Elijah departed Eli Yah went. And when the messengers angels turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now thus turned back? And they said unto him, There came ascended a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again return unto the king sovereign that sent you, and say word unto him, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Is it not because there is not a God Elohim in Israel Yisra El, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub Baal Zebub the god elohim of Ekron Eqron? therefore thou shalt not come down descend from that bed on which thou art gone up ascended, but in dying, shalt surely die. And he said worded unto them, What manner is your judgment of the man was he which came up ascended to meet you, and told worded you these words? And they answered said to him, He was an hairy man a man, a master of hair, and girt with a girdle of leather skin about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy. Then the king sovereign sent unto him a captain governor of fifty with his fifty. And he went up ascended to him: and, behold, he sat settled on the top of an hill a mountain. And he spake worded unto him, Thou man of God Elohim, the king sovereign hath said worded, Come down Descend. And Elijah Eli Yah answered and said worded to the captain governor of fifty, If I be a man of God Elohim, then let fire come down descend from heaven the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down descended fire from heaven the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty. Again also And he returned and sent unto him another captain governor of fifty with his fifty.

YAH VEH J UDGES ACHAZ YAH And Moab rebels against Yisra El after the death of Ach Ab. And Achaz Yah falls through a lattice in his upper room in Shomeron and is sick: and he sends angels and says to them, Go, enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron if I live of this sickness.

And the angel of Yah Veh words to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, Rise, ascend to meet the angels of the sovereign of Shomeron and word to them, Is it because there is no elohim in Yisra El, that you go to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron?

And so thus says Yah Veh, You descend not from that bed you ascended; but in dying, you die.

And Eli Yah goes: and the angel turns back to him, and he says to them, Why turn you back thus?

And they say to him, A man ascends to meet us, and says to us, Go! Return to the sovereign who sent you and word to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Is it because there is no elohim in Yisra El that you send to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron? so you descend not from that bed you ascended; but in dying, you die.

And he words to them, What is your judgment of the man who ascended to meet you and worded you these words?

And they say to him, He is a man, a master of hair and girt with a girdle of skin around his loins; and he says he is Eli Yah the Tisbehiy.

Then the sovereign sends him a governor of fifty with his fifty: and he ascends to him: and behold, he settles on the top of a mountain: and he words to him, You — man of Elohim, the sovereign words, Descend.

And Eli Yah answers and words to the governor of fifty, If I am a man of Elohim, fire descends from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty. — and fire descends from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.

And he returns and sends him another governor of fifty with his fifty: and he answers and words to him, O man of Elohim, thus says the sovereign, Descend quickly.

And Eli Yah answers and words to them, If I am a man of Elohim, fire descends from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty. — and the fire of Elohim descends from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.

And he returns and sends a governor of the third fifty with his fifty:

And the third captain governor of fifty went up ascended, and came and fell bowed on his knees before Elijah in front of Eli Yah, and besought him, and said worded unto him, O man of God Elohim, I pray beseech thee, let my life soul, and the life soul of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight eyes. Behold, there came descended fire down from heaven the heavens, and burnt up consumed the two captains governors of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life soul now be precious in thy sight eyes. And the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh said worded unto Elijah Eli Yah, Go down Descend with him: be not afraid of awed to face him. And he arose, and went down descended with him unto the king sovereign. And he said worded unto him, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers angels to enquire of Baalzebub Baal Zebub the god elohim of Ekron Eqron, is it not because there is no God Elohim in Israel Yisra El to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down descend off that bed on which thou art gone up ascended, but in dying, shalt surely die. So he died according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh which Elijah Eli Yah had spoken worded. And Jehoram Yah Ram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram Yah Ram the son of Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah; because he had no son. Now the rest of the acts words of Ahaziah Achaz Yah which he did worked, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El? ELI YAH ASCENDS TO THE HEAVENS And so be it came to pass, when the L ORD would take up Elijah Yah Veh should ascend Eli Yah into heaven the heavens by a whirlwind storm, that Elijah Eli Yah went with Elisha Eli Shua from Gilgal. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto Elisha Eli Shua, Tarry Settle here, I pray beseech thee; for the L ORD Yah Veh hath sent me to Bethel Beth El. And Elisha Eli Shua said unto him, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will shall not leave thee. So they went down descended to Bethel Beth El. And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel Beth El came forth went to Elisha Eli Shua, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the L ORD Yah Veh will shall take away thy master adoni from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace hush. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto him, Elisha Eli Shua, tarry settle here, I pray beseech thee; for the L ORD Yah Veh hath sent me to Jericho Yericho. And he said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will shall not leave thee. So they came to Jericho Yericho. And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho Yericho came near to Elisha Eli Shua, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the L ORD Yah Veh will shall take away thy master adoni from thy head to day? And he answered said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace hush. And Elijah Eli Yah said unto him, Tarry Settle, I pray beseech thee, here; for the L ORD Yah Veh hath sent me to Jordan Yarden. And he said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will shall not leave thee. And they two went on.

and the third governor of fifty ascends and comes and bows on his knees in front of Eli Yah and beseeches him and words to him, O man of Elohim, I beseech you, that my soul and the soul of these fifty, your servants, be precious in your eyes: behold, fire descended from the heavens and consumed the two governors of the former fifties with their fifties: and now, O that my soul be precious in your eyes.

And the angel of Yah Veh words to Eli Yah, Descend with him: awe not to face him. — and he rises and descends with him to the sovereign.

And he words to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Why send you angels to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron, is it because there is no Elohim in Yisra El to enquire of his word? So you descend not from that bed you ascended, but in dying, you die.

And he dies according to the word of Yah Veh which Eli Yah worded: and Yah Ram reigns in his stead in the second year of Yah Ram the son of Yah Shaphat sovereign of Yah Hudah; because he has no son. And the rest of the words of Achaz Yah worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

ELI YAH ASCENDS TO THE HEAVENS And so be it, Yah Veh ascends Eli Yah into the heavens by a storm, and Eli Yah and Eli Shua go from Gilgal. And Eli Yah says to Eli Shua, Settle here, I beseech you; for Yah Veh sends me to Beth El. And Eli Shua says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. — and they descend to Beth El.

And the sons of the prophets at Beth El go to Eli Shua and say to him, Know you that today Yah Veh takes your adoni from your head? And he says, Yes, I know; hush.

And Eli Yah says to him, Eli Shua, settle here, I beseech you; for Yah Veh sends me to Yericho. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. — and they come to Yericho.

And the sons of the prophets at Yericho come near to Eli Shua and say to him, Know you that today Yah Veh takes your adoni from your head? And he says, Yes, I know it; hush.

And Eli Yah says to him, Settle, I beseech you, here; for Yah Veh sends me to Yarden. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. — and the two go on.

And Elijah Eli Yah took his mighty mantle, and wrapped it together rolled it up, and smote the waters, and they were divided halved hither and thither, so that they two went passed over on dry ground parched area. And so be it came to pass, when they were gone passed over, that Elijah Eli Yah said unto Elisha Eli Shua, Ask what I shall do work for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha Eli Shua said, I pray beseech thee, let a double portion twofold mouth of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee so be it; but if not, it shall not be so be it not.

And when the sons of the prophets which were to view opposite at Jericho Yericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah Eli Yah doth rest on Elisha Eli Shua. And they came to meet him, and bowed prostrated themselves to the ground earth before in front of him. And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men sons of valour; let them go, we pray beseech thee, and seek thy master adoni: lest peradventure — unless the Spirit of the L ORD Yah Veh hath taken lifted him up, and cast him upon some one mountain, or into some one valley. And he said, ye shall not send. And when they urged him till he was ashamed shamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not. And when they came returned again to him, (for he tarried settled at Jericho Yericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not? WATERS HEALED And the men of the city said unto Elisha Eli Shua, Behold, I pray beseech thee, the situation site of this city is pleasant good, as my lord adoni seeth: but the water is naught evil, and the ground barren earth aborteth. And he said, Bring Take me a new cruse, and put set salt therein. And they brought took it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said,

And fifty men of the sons of the prophets go and stand opposite afar off; and the two stand by Yarden; and Eli Yah takes his mighty mantle and rolls it up and smites the waters: and they halve here and there so that the two pass over on parched area. And so be it, they pass over, and Eli Yah says to Eli Shua, Ask what I work for you ere I am taken from you. And Eli Shua says, I beseech you, that a twofold mouth of your spirit be on me.

And he says, You ask hard: if you see me taken from you, so be it; and if not, so be it not.

And so be it, in walking, they walk and word; and behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire; and they separate between them both: and Eli Yah ascends by a storm into the heavens.

And he smites the waters and they halve here and there; and Eli Shua passes over.

And when the sons of the prophets opposite Yericho see him, they say, The spirit of Eli Yah rests on Eli Shua. And they come to meet him and prostrate themselves to the earth in front of him: and they say to him, Behold now, there are with your servants fifty sons of valour; have them go, we beseech you, to seek your adoni — unless the Spirit of Yah Veh lifted him and cast him on one mountain or in one valley.

So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying word of Elisha Eli Shua which he spake worded. ELI SHUA RIDICULED And he went up ascended from thence unto Bethel Beth El: and as he was going up ascending by the way, there came forth went little children lads out of the city, and mocked ridiculed him, and said unto him, Go up Ascend, thou bald head baldy; go up ascend, thou bald head baldy. And he turned faced back, and looked on saw them, and cursed abased them in the name of the L ORD Yah Veh. And there came forth went two she bears out of the wood forest, and tare split forty and two children of them. And he went from thence to mount Carmel Karmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria Shomeron. THE REIGN OF YAH RAM OVER YISRA EL Now Jehoram Yah Ram the son of Ahab Ach Ab began to reign over Israel Yisra El in Samaria Shomeron the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and reigned twelve years. And he wrought worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away turned aside the image monolith of Baal that his father had made worked. Nevertheless he cleaved adhered unto the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, which made Israel Yisra El to sin; he departed turned not aside therefrom. THE REBELLION OF MOAB And Mesha king sovereign of Moab was a sheepmaster brander, and rendered returned unto the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El an hundred thousand lambs rams, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool. But And so be it came to pass, when Ahab Ach Ab was dead, that the king sovereign of Moab rebelled against the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El.

And he said, I will go up shall ascend: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. And he said, Which way shall we go up ascend? And he answered said, The way through the wilderness of Edom. So the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El went, and the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and the king sovereign of Edom: and they fetched a compass went of about seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host camp, and for the cattle animals that followed them at their feet. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said, Alas Aha! that the L ORD Yah Veh hath called these three kings together sovereigns, to deliver give them into the hand of Moab! But Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the L ORD Yah Veh, that we may enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh by him? And one of the king sovereign of Israel's Yisra El's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha Eli Shua the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah Eli Yah.

Thus says Yah Veh, I heal these waters; there is no more death or barren. — and the waters are healed to this day, according to the word Eli Shua worded. ELI SHUA RIDICULED And he ascends from thence to Beth El: and he ascends by the way, and little lads go from the city and ridicule him and say to him, Ascend, baldy! Ascend, baldy!

THE REIGN OF YAH RAM OVER YISRA EL And Yah Ram the son of Ach Ab begins to reign over Yisra El in Shomeron the eighteenth year of Yah Shaphat sovereign of Yah Hudah; and reigns twelve years: and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; only, not as his father and as his mother: for he turns aside the monolith of Baal his father worked: only, he adheres to the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat who had Yisra El to sin; he turns not aside therefrom. THE REBELLION OF MOAB And Mesha sovereign of Moab is a brander; and he returns a hundred thousand rams and a hundred thousand rams wool to the sovereign of Yisra El. And so be it, Ach Ab is dead, and the sovereign of Moab rebels against the sovereign of Yisra El: and the same day the sovereign Yah Ram goes from Shomeron and musters all Yisra El: and he goes and sends to Yah Shaphat the sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, The sovereign of Moab rebels against me: come you with me to war against Moab? And he says, I ascend: I — as you; my people as your people; my horses as your horses.

And he says, Which way ascend we? And he says, The way through the wilderness of Edom.

And the sovereign of Yisra El and the sovereign of Yah Hudah and the sovereign of Edom go: and they go about a seven day journey: and there is no water for the camp and for the animals following at their feet.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says, Aha! Yah Veh calls these three sovereigns to give them into the hand of Moab!

And Elisha Eli Shua said unto the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, What have I to do with thee? get thee go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto him, Nay: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath called these three kings sovereigns together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. And Elisha Eli Shua said, As the L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth liveth, before at the face of whom I stand, surely, were it not that for unless I regard the presence lift the face of Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, I would should not look toward thee, nor see thee. But now bring take me a minstrel strummer. And so be it came to pass, when the minstrel played strummer strummed, that the hand of the L ORD Yah Veh came upon him. And he said, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Make Work this valley wadi full of ditches dugouts. For thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley wadi shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle chattel, and your beasts animals. And this is but a light thing a trifle in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh: he will deliver shall give the Moabites Moabiy also into your hand. And ye shall smite every fenced fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells fountains of water, and mar pain every good piece of land allotment with stones. And so be it came to pass, in the morning, when the meat offering was offered holocausted, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country land was filled with water. And when all the Moabites Moabiy heard that the kings sovereigns were come up ascended to fight against them, they gathered called together all that were able to put on armour gird a girdle, and upward, and stood in the border. And they rose up started early in the morning, and the sun shone rose upon the water, and the Moabites Moabiy saw the water on the other side in front as red as blood: And they said, This is blood: in being desolated, the kings sovereigns are surely slain desolated, and they have smitten one another man his friend: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. And when they came to the camp of Israel Yisra El, the Israelites Yisra Eliy rose up and smote the Moabites Moabiy, so that they fled before them from their face: but they went forward smiting and they smote the Moabites Moabiy even in their country. And they beat down demolished the cities, and on every good piece of land allotment cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells fountains of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth Qir Hareseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it. And when the king sovereign of Moab saw that the battle war was too sore strong for him,

And he says, Thus says Yah Veh, Work this wadi full of dugouts: for thus says Yah Veh, you neither see wind nor see rain; and that wadi fills with water and you drink — both you and your chattel and your animals: and this is a trifle in the eyes of Yah Veh: and he gives the Moabiy into your hand.

And there was great indignation rage against Israel Yisra El: and they departed pulled stakes from him, and returned to their own land.

And Elisha Eli Shua said unto her, What shall I do work for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid Thy maid hath not any thing naught in the house, save a pot except an anointing flask of oil. Then he said, Go, borrow ask thee vessels instruments abroad of all thy neighbours fellow tabernaclers, even empty vessels instruments; borrow not a few diminish not. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels instruments, and thou shalt set aside pluck that which is full. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought near the vessels to her; and she poured out. And so be it came to pass, when the vessels instruments were full filled, that she said unto her son, Bring near me yet a vessel an instrument.

And Gehazi answered Gay Chazi said, Verily Nevertheless she hath no child son, and her husband man is old. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door portal. And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord adoni, thou man of God Elohim, do not lie unto thine handmaid thy maid. And the woman conceived, and bare birthed a son at that season that Elisha Eli Shua had said worded unto her, according to the time of life.

And she went up ascended, and laid him on the bed of the man of God Elohim, and shut the door upon him, and went out. And she called unto her husband man, and said, Send me, I pray beseech thee, one of the young men lads, and one of the asses she burros, that I may run to the man of God Elohim, and come again return. And he said, Wherefore wilt shalt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath shabbath. And she said, It shall be well Shalom. Then she saddled an ass harnessed a she burro, and said to her servant lad, Drive, and go forward; slack restrain not thy riding for me, except I bid say to thee. So she went and came unto the man of God Elohim to mount Carmel Karmel. And so be it came to pass, when the man of God Elohim saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi Gay Chazi his servant lad, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite Shunemiyth: Run now, I pray beseech thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well Shalom with thee? is it well Shalom with thy husband man? is it well Shalom with the child? And she answered said, It is well Shalom: And when she came to the man of God Elohim to the hill mountain, she caught held him by the feet: but Gehazi came near Gay Chazi approaches to thrust expel her away. And the man of God Elohim said, Let Release her alone; for her soul is vexed embittered within her: and the L ORD Yah Veh hath hid concealed it from me, and hath not told me. Then she said, Did I desire ask a son of my lord adoni? did I not say, Do not deceive mislead me? Then he said to Gehazi Gay Chazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any find a man, salute bless him not; and if any salute a man bless thee, answer him not again: and lay set my staff upon the face of the child lad.

Behold, you tremble all this trembling; What work we for you? What word we to the sovereign — or to the governor of the host? And she says, I settle among my own people. 14

And he says, What then work we for her? And Gay Chazi says, Verily, she has no son and her man is old.

And he says, Call her. — and he calls her, and she stands in the portal.

And he says, About this season, according to the time of life, you embrace a son.

And she says, No, my adoni, you man of Elohim; lie not to your maid. — and the woman conceives and births a son at the season Eli Shua worded to her according to the time of life. THE SON DIES

And the child grows, and so be it, on a day, he goes to his father to the harvesters, and he says to his father, My head! My head! And he says to a lad, Lift him to his mother: — and he lifts him and brings him to his mother; and he settles on her knees until noon and dies.

And she ascends and lies him down on the bed of the man of Elohim and shuts him in and comes out.

And she calls to her man and says, Send me, I beseech, one of the lads and one of the she burros; and I run to the man of Elohim and return.

And he says, Why go you to him today? It is neither new moon nor shabbath. And she says, Shalom.

And she harnesses a she burro and says to her lad, Drive! Go! Restrain not your riding for me, unless I say so.

So she goes and comes to the man of Elohim — to mount Karmel.

And so be it, the man of Elohim sees her afar off, and he says to Gay Chazi his lad, Behold, that Shunemiyth: run now, I beseech you, to meet her and say to her, Shalom with you? Shalom with your man? Shalom with the child? And she says, Shalom!

And when she comes to the man of Elohim to the mountain, she holds him by the feet: and Gay Chazi approaches to expel her. And the man of Elohim says, Release her; for her soul is embittered: and Yah Veh concealed it from me and told me not.

Then she says, Asked I a son of my adoni? Said I not, Mislead me not?

Then he says to Gay Chazi, Gird your loins and take my staff in your hand and go your way: if you find a man, bless him not; and if a man bless you, answer him not: and set my staff on the face of the lad.

And the Syrians Aramiy had gone out by companies troops, and had brought away captive captured out of the land of Israel Yisra El a little maid lass; and she waited on at the face of Naaman's wife woman. And she said unto her mistress lady, Would God my lord O that my adoni were with faced the prophet that is in Samaria Shomeron! for he would recover that he gather him of his leprosy. And one went in, and told his lord adoni, saying, Thus and thus said worded the maid lass that is of the land of Israel Yisra El. And the king sovereign of Syria Aram said, Go to, go, and I will shall send a letter scroll unto the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El. And he departed went, and took with him in his hand ten talents rounds of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment clothes. And he brought the letter scroll to the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, saying, Now when this letter scroll is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover gather him of his leprosy. And so be it came to pass, when the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El had read called out the letter scroll, that he rent ripped his clothes, and said, Am I God Elohim, to kill deathify and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover gather a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider only perceive, I pray beseech you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel beseeches against me. And so be it was so, when Elisha Eli Shua the man of God Elohim had heard that the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El had rent ripped his clothes, that he sent to the king sovereign, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent ripped thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel Yisra El. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door portal of the house of Elisha Eli Shua. And Elisha Eli Shua sent a messenger an angel unto him, saying, Go and wash baptise in Jordan Yarden seven times, and thy flesh shall come again return to thee, and thou shalt be clean purified. But Naaman was wroth enraged, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought said, That in coming, He will shall surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim, and strike wave his hand over the place, and recover gather the leper. Are not Abana Amanah and Pharpar Parpar, rivers of Damascus Dammeseq, better than all the waters of Israel Yisra El? may I not wash baptise in them, and be clean purified? So he turned from his face and went away in a rage fury. And his servants came near, and spake worded unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid worded thee do some a great thing word, wouldest shouldest thou not have done worked it? how much rather then also, when he saith to thee, Wash Baptize, and be clean purified?

ELI SHUA HEALS NAAMAN And Naaman governor of the host of the sovereign of Aram is a great man at the face of his adoni; accepted by face, because by him Yah Veh gave salvation to Aram: he is also a mighty man in valour — a leper.

And the Aramiy go by troops and capture a little lass from the land of Yisra El; and she waits at the face of the woman of Naaman.

And she says to her lady, O that my adoni face the prophet in Shomeron to gather him of his leprosy.

And one goes in and tells his adoni, saying, The lass of the land of Yisra El words thus and thus.

And the sovereign of Aram says, Go! Go, and I send a scroll to the sovereign of Yisra El.

And he goes; and in his hand he takes ten rounds of silver and six thousand of gold and ten changes of clothes: and he brings the scroll to the sovereign of Yisra El, saying, And now this scroll comes to you; and behold, I send Naaman my servant to you to gather him of his leprosy.

And so be it, Eli Shua the man of Elohim hears that the sovereign of Yisra El rips his clothes, and he sends to the sovereign, saying, Why rip your clothes? Have him come to me so that he knows there is a prophet in Yisra El.

And Naaman comes with his horses and with his chariot and stands at the portal of the house of Eli Shua.

And Eli Shua sends an angel to him, saying, Go and baptize in Yarden seven times and your flesh returns to you, and you are purified.

And Naaman rages and goes away and says, Behold, I say to myself, In coming, he comes to me and stands and calls on the name of Yah Veh his Elohim and waves his hand over the place and gathers the leper! Are not Amanah and Parpar, rivers of Dammeseq, better than all the waters of Yisra El? Baptize I not in them and become purified? — and he turns his face and goes in a fury.

And his servants come near and word to him and say, My father, had the prophet worded you a great word, had you not worked it? And also, he says to you, Baptize and be purified.

And he sees them, and the sovereign of Yisra El says to Eli Shua, Smite I? Smite I, my father?

And he says, Smite not! Do you smite whom you captured with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water at their face to eat and drink and go to their adoni.

And he digs great provision for them: and they eat and drink; and he sends them away to go to their adoni: and the troops of Aram add not to come into the land of Yisra El.

FAMINE IN SHOMERON And so be it, afterward, Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram gathers all his camp and ascends and besieges Shomeron; and there is a great famine in Shomeron: and behold, they besiege it, until the head of a he burro is eighty silver and the fourth qab of dove dungs is five silver.

And as the sovereign of Yisra El passes by on the wall, a woman cries out to him, saying, Save, my adoni, O sovereign.

And he says, If Yah Veh saves you not, how save I you? From the threshingfloor? Or from the trough?

And the sovereign says to her, What ails you?

And she says, This woman said to me, Give your son to eat today and eat my son tomorrow: so we stewed my son and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, to eat him: and she hid her son.

And so be it, the sovereign hears the words of the woman, and he rips his clothes; and he passes by on the wall and the people see; and behold, he houses saq on his flesh.

And he says, Elohim work thus and add also to me, if the head of Eli Shua the son of Shaphat stands on him this day.

And Eli Shua settles in his house and the elders settle with him; and he sends a man from his face: but ere the angel comes to him, he says to the elders, You see how this son of a murderer sends to turn aside my head? See when the angel comes, and shut the door and press him at the door. Is not the voice of feet of his adoni after him?

And while he yet words with them, behold, the angel descends to him: and he says, Behold, this evil is of Yah Veh! Why await I Yah Veh any longer?

But Elisha sat Eli Shua settled in his house, and the elders sat settled with him; and the king sent a man from before him his face: but ere the messenger angel came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away turn aside mine head? look see, when the messenger angel cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast press him at the door: is not the sound voice of his master's adoni's feet behind after him? And while he yet talked worded with them, behold, the messenger came down angel descended unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the L ORD Yah Veh; what Why should I wait for the L ORD await Yah Veh any longer? ELI SHUA PROPHESIES FOOD Then Elisha Eli Shua said, Hear ye the word of the L ORD Yah Veh; Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, To morrow about this time shall a measure seah of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate portal of Samaria Shomeron. Then a lord tertiary on whose hand the king sovereign leaned answered the man of God Elohim, and said, Behold, if the L ORD though Yah Veh would make should work windows in heaven the heavens, might this thing word be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat hereof. And there were four leprous men at the entering in opening of the gate portal: and they said one man to another friend, Why sit settle we here until we die? If we say, We will shall enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still settle here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host camp of the Syrians Aramiy: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill deathify us, we shall but die. And they rose up in the twilight evening breeze, to go unto the camp of the Syrians Aramiy: and when they were come to the uttermost part extremity of the camp of Syria Aram, behold, there was no man there. For the Lord Adonay had made the host camp of the Syrians Aramiy to hear a noise voice of chariots, and a noise voice of horses, even the noise voice of a great host valiant: and they said one man to another brother, Lo Behold, the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El hath hired against us the kings sovereigns of the Hittites Hethiy, and the kings sovereigns of the Egyptians Misrayim, to come upon us. Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight evening breeze, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses he burros, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life soul. And when these lepers came to the uttermost part extremity of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried lifted thence silver, and gold, and raiment clothes, and went and hid it; and came again returned, and entered into another tent, and carried lifted thence also, and went and hid it. Then they said one man to another friend, We do work not well: this day is a day of good tidings evangelism, and we hold our peace hush: if we tarry wait till the morning light, some mischief will come upon perversion shall find us: now therefore come,

ELI SHUA PROPHESIES FOOD And Eli Shua says, Hear the word of Yah Veh; Thus says Yah Veh, Tomorrow about this time, a seah of flour for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the portal of Shomeron. Then a tertiary on whose hand the sovereign leans answers the man of Elohim and says, Behold, though Yah Veh work windows in the heavens, how becomes this word? And he says, Behold, you see with your eyes and eat not thereof.

And there are four leprous men at the opening of the portal: and they say man to friend, Why settle we here until we die? If we say, We enter into the city, then the famine is in the city and we die there: and if we settle here, we die also. Now come and fall to the camp of the Aramiy: if they save us alive, we live; and if they deathify us, we die. And they rise in the evening breeze to go to the camp of the Aramiy: and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, no man is there: for Adonay has the camp of the Aramiy hear a voice of chariots and a voice of horses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the voice of a great valiant. And they say man to brother, Behold, the sovereign of Yisra El hires against us the sovereigns of the Hethiy and the sovereigns of the Misrayim to come against us.

And they rise and flee in the evening breeze and leave their tents and the camp as it is and their horses and their he burros â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and flee for their soul: and these lepers come to the extremity of the camp; and they go into one tent and eat and drink and lift silver and gold and clothes; and go hide it; and return and enter into another tent and lift from there; and go hide it.

So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians Aramiy, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man human, but horses tied bound, and asses tied he burros bound, and the tents as they were. And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's sovereign's house within. And the king sovereign arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will shall now shew tell you what the Syrians Aramiy have done worked to us. They know that we be hungry famished; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come go out of the city, we shall catch apprehend them alive, and get into the city. And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray beseech thee, five of the horses that remain survive, which are left survive in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel Yisra El that are left survive in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites Yisra Eliy that are consumed:) and let us send and see. They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sovereign sent after the host camp of the Syrians Aramiy, saying, Go and see. And they went after them unto Jordan Yarden: and, lo behold, all the way was full of garments clothes and vessels instruments, which the Syrians Aramiy had cast away in their haste. And the messengers angels returned, and told the king sovereign. And the people went out, and spoiled plundered the tents camps of the Syrians Aramiy. So a measure seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the king appointed sovereign mustered the lord tertiary on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of oversee the gate portal: and the people trode upon trampled him in the gate portal, and he died, as the man of God Elohim had said worded, who spake worded when the king came down sovereign descended to him.

And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode trampled upon him in the gate portal, and he died. ELI SHUA PROPHESIES FAMINE Then spake Elisha worded Eli Shua unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life enlivened, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did worked after the saying word of the man of God Elohim: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines Peleshethiy seven years.

And they come and call the porter of the city: and they tell for themselves, saying, We came to the camp of the Aramiy, and behold, neither man nor voice of human; but bound horses and bound he burros and the tents as they were.

And he calls the porters; and they tell it inside the house of the sovereign.

And the sovereign rises in the night and says to his servants, I now tell you what the Aramiy works to us. They know that we famish; and so they go from the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they go from the city, we apprehend them alive and get into the city.

And one of his servants answers and says, Have some take, I beseech you, five of the horses that survive — that survive in the city, — and behold, they that survive are as all the multitude of Yisra El: and behold, even as all the multitude of the Yisra Eliy that are consumed — and let us send and see.

And they take two chariot horses; and the sovereign sends after the camp of the Aramiy, saying, Go! See!

And they go after them to Yarden: and behold, all the way is full of clothes and instruments, which the Aramiy cast away in their haste. — and the angels return and tell the sovereign.

And the people go and plunder the camps of the Aramiy: and a seah of flour for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel according to the word of Yah Veh.

And the sovereign musters the tertiary on whose hand he leans to oversee the portal: and the people trample him in the portal; and he dies, as the man of Elohim words — words as the sovereign descends to him. And so be it, as the man of Elohim words to the sovereign, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel and a seah of flour for a shekel, be tomorrow about this time in the portal of Shomeron: and that the tertiary answered the man of Elohim and said, Now, behold, though Yah Veh work windows in the heavens, how becomes such a word? And he said, Behold, you see it with your eyes, but eat not. — and so it befell him: and the people trample him in the portal and he dies.

And the king sovereign talked worded with Gehazi Gay Chazi the servant lad of the man of God Elohim, saying, Tell Scribe me, I pray beseech thee, all the great things that Elisha Eli Shua hath done worked. And so be it came to pass, as he was telling scribing to the king sovereign how he had restored a dead body to life enlivened the dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life enlivened, cried to the king sovereign for her house and for her land field.

And when the king sovereign asked the woman, she told scribed to him. So the king sovereign appointed gave unto her a certain officer one eunuch, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits produce of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now. ELI SHUA PROPHESIES EVIL And Elisha Eli Shua came to Damascus Dammeseq; and Benhadad Ben Hadad the king sovereign of Syria Aram was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God Elohim is come hither. And the king sovereign said unto Hazael Haza El, Take a present an offering in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God Elohim, and enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh by him, saying, shall I recover live of this disease sickness? So Hazael Haza El went to meet him, and took a present with him an offering in his hand, even of every good thing of Damascus Dammeseq, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him at his face, and said, Thy son Benhadad Ben Hadad king sovereign of Syria Aram hath sent me to thee, saying, shall I recover live of this disease sickness? And Elisha Eli Shua said unto him, Go, say unto him, In living, Thou mayest certainly recover shalt live: howbeit the L ORD Yah Veh hath shewed me see that in dying, he shall surely die. And he settled his countenance stedfastly stood setting his face, until he was ashamed shamed: and the man of God Elohim wept. And Hazael Haza El said, Why weepeth my lord adoni? And he answered said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do shalt work unto the children sons of Israel Yisra El: their strong holds fortresses wilt shalt thou set send on fire, and their young men youths wilt shalt thou slay slaughter with the sword, and wilt dash shalt splatter their children sucklings, and rip up splittest open their women with child conceivers. And Hazael Haza El said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do work this great thing word? And Elisha answered Eli Shua said, The L ORD Yah Veh hath shewed me see that thou shalt be king sovereign over Syria Aram. So he departed went from Elisha Eli Shua, and came to his master adoni; who said to him, What said Elisha Eli Shua to thee? And he answered said, He told said to me that in living, thou shouldest surely recover live. And so be it came to pass, on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth net, and dipped it in water,

THE LAND OF THE WOMAN RESTORED And so be it, at the end of seven years, the woman returns from the land of the Peleshethiy: and goes to cry to the sovereign for her house and for her field.

And the sovereign words with Gay Chazi the lad of the man of Elohim, saying, Scribe me, I beseech, all the great that Eli Shua works.

And so be it, he scribes to the sovereign how he enlivened the dead, and behold, how the woman whose son he enlivened cries to the sovereign for her house and for her field. And Gay Chazi says, My adoni, O sovereign, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Eli Shua enlivened!

And the sovereign asks the woman, and she scribes to him. And the sovereign gives her one eunuch, saying, Restore all that is hers and all the produce of the field since the day she left the land, even until now.

And Haza El says, Why weeps my adoni? And he says, Because I know the evil you work to the sons of Yisra El: you send their fortresses on fire; and slaughter their youths with the sword; and splatter their sucklings and split open their conceivers.

And Haza El says, But what? Is your servant a dog, to work this great word? And Eli Shua says, Yah Veh shows me you as sovereign over Aram.

And he goes from Eli Shua and comes to his adoni; who says to him, What says Eli Shua to you? And he says, He says to me, In living, you live.

In his days, Edom rebels from under the hand of Yah Hudah; and has a sovereign reign over them.

And Yah Ram passes over to Sair with all his chariots: and he rises by night and smites the Edomiy who surround him and the governors of the chariots: and the people flee to their tents: and Edom rebels from under the hand of Yah Hudah to this day: and Libnah rebels at the same time.

And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab Ach Ab thy master adoni, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the L ORD Yah Veh, at the hand of Jezebel Iy Zebel. For the whole house of Ahab Ach Ab shall perish destruct: and I will shall cut off from Ahab Ach Ab him that pisseth urinateth against the wall, and him that is shut up restrained and left in Israel Yisra El: And I will make shall give the house of Ahab Ach Ab like the house of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha Basha the son of Ahijah Achiy Yah: And the dogs shall eat Jezebel devour Iy Zebel in the portion allotment of Jezreel Yizre El, and there shall be none to bury entomb her.

then let none no escapee go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel Yizre El. So Jehu Yah Hu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel Yizre El; for Joram Yah Ram lay there. And Ahaziah Achaz Yah king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah was come down descended to see Joram Yah Ram. And there stood a watchman watcher on the tower in Jezreel Yizre El, and he spied saw the company throng of Jehu Yah Hu as he came, and said, I see a company throng. And Joram Yah Ram said, Take an horseman a charioteer, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace Shalom? So there went one on horseback riding on a horse to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king sovereign, Is it peace Shalom? And Jehu Yah Hu said, What hast thou to do with peace shalom? turn thee behind me. And the watchman watcher told, saying, The messenger angel came to them, but he cometh not again returneth not. Then he sent out a second on horseback riding on a horse, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king sovereign, Is it peace Shalom? And Jehu answered Yah Hu said, What hast thou to do with peace shalom? turn thee behind me. And the watchman watcher told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu Yah Hu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously insanely. And Joram Yah Ram said, Make ready Bind. And his chariot was made ready bound. And Joram Yah Ram king sovereign of Israel Yisra El and Ahaziah Achaz Yah king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah went out, each man in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu to meet Yah Hu, and met found him in the portion allotment of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizre Eliy. And so be it came to pass, when Joram Yah Ram saw Jehu Yah Hu, that he said, Is it peace Shalom, Jehu Yah Hu? And he answered said, What peace shalom, so long as that the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel Iy Zebel and her witchcrafts sorceries are so many? And Joram Yah Ram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah Achaz Yah, There is treachery fraud, O Ahaziah Achaz Yah. And Jehu Yah Hu drew a bow with his full strength filled his hand with a bow, and smote Jehoram Yah Ram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk bowed down in his chariot. Then said Jehu he to Bidkar Bidqar his captain tertiary, Take up Lift, and cast him in the portion allotment of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite Yizre Eliy: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together paired after Ahab Ach Ab his father, the L ORD Yah Veh laid this burden upon him; Surely I have seen yesterday yesternight the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the L ORD an oracle of Yah Veh; and I will requite shall shalam thee in this plat allotment, saith the L ORD an oracle of Yah Veh. Now therefore take lift and cast him into the plat of ground allotment, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh.

let no escapee go from the city to go tell it in Yizre El. 16

So Yah Hu rides in a chariot and goes to Yizre El; for Yah Ram lies down there: and Achaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah descends to see Yah Ram: and a watcher stands on the tower in Yizre El; and he sees the throng of Yah Hu as he comes; and says, I see a throng. And Yah Ram says, Take a charioteer and send to meet them; and say, Shalom?

So one goes riding on a horse to meet him and says, Thus says the sovereign, Shalom? And Yah Hu says, What have you to do with shalom? Turn behind me.

And the watcher tells, saying, The angel comes to them; but he returns not: and he sends out a second riding on a horse who comes to them and says, Thus says the sovereign, Shalom? And Yah Hu says, What have you to do with shalom? Turn behind me.

And the watcher tells, saying, He comes to them and returns not: and the driving is as the driving of Yah Hu the son of Nimshi; for he drives insanely.

And Yah Ram says, Bind! — and they bind his chariot. And Yah Ram sovereign of Yisra El and Achaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah go — each man in his chariot and they go to meet Yah Hu; and they find him in the allotment of Naboth the Yizre Eliy.

And so be it, Yah Ram sees Yah Hu, and he says, Shalom, Yah Hu? And he says, What shalom when the whoredoms of your mother Iy Zebel and her sorceries are many?

And Yah Ram turns his hands and flees and says to Achaz Yah, Fraud, O Achaz Yah!

And Yah Hu fills his hand with a bow and smites Yah Ram between his arms and the arrow comes out his heart; and he bows down in his chariot: and says to Bidqar his tertiary, Lift! Cast him in the allotment of the field of Naboth the Yizre Eliy: for remember, when I and you rode paired after Ach Ab his father, Yah Veh laid this burden on him; yesternight I see the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons — an oracle of Yah Veh; and I shalam you in this allotment — an oracle of Yah Veh. And now, Lift! Cast him into the allotment according to the word of Yah Veh.

I Y ZEBEL DEATHIFIED And when Jehu Yah Hu was come to Jezreel Yizre El, Jezebel Iy Zebel heard of it; and she painted set her face eyes in stibium, and tired well—prepared her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu Yah Hu entered in at the gate portal, she said, Had Zimri peace shalom, who slew slaughtered his master adoni? And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw her down Release her. So they threw her down released her: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode trampled her under foot. And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see Visit now this cursed woman, and bury entomb her: for she is a king's sovereign's daughter. And they went to bury entomb her: but they found no more of her than the skull cranium, and the feet, and the palms of her hands. Wherefore they came again returned, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded by the hand of his servant Elijah Eli Yah the Tishbite Tisbehiy, saying, In the portion allotment of Jezreel Yizre El shall dogs eat devour the flesh of Jezebel Iy Zebel: And the carcase of Jezebel Iy Zebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion allotment of Jezreel Yizre El; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel Iy Zebel. THE HOUSEHOLD OF ACH AB IS DEATHIFIED And Ahab Ach Ab had seventy sons in Samaria Shomeron. And Jehu wrote letters Yah Hu inscribed scrolls, and sent to Samaria Shomeron, unto the rulers governors of Jezreel Yizre El, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children be amenable to Ach Ab, saying, Now as soon as this letter scroll cometh to you, seeing your master's adoni's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced fortified city also, and armour; Look even out the best and meetest straightest of your master's adoni's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's adoni's house. But they were exceedingly afraid mighty awed, and said, Behold, two kings sovereigns stood not before him at his face: how then shall we stand? And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children amenable, sent to Jehu Yah Hu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do shall work all that thou shalt bid say to us; we will not make any king shall have no man to reign: do work thou that which is good in thine eyes.

And Achaz Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah sees and flees by the way of the garden house: and Yah Hu pursues him and says, Smite him — him also in the chariot at the ascent to Gur by Yible Am. And he flees to Megiddo and dies there: and his servants ride him in a chariot to Yeru Shalem and entomb him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David. ACHAZ YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH And in the eleventh year of Yah Ram the son of Ach Ab Achaz Yah begins to reign over Yah Hudah.

And he lifts his face to the window and says, Who is on my side? Who? — and two or three eunuchs look to him.

And he says, Release her! — and they release her: and sprinkle her blood on the wall and on the horses and trample her under foot.

And he comes in, and he eats and drinks and says, Visit now this cursed; and entomb her: for she is a daughter of a sovereign.

And they go to entomb her: but they find no more of her than the cranium and the feet and the palms of her hands: and they return and tell him.

And he says, This is the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying, In the allotment of Yizre El dogs devour the flesh of Iy Zebel: and the carcase of Iy Zebel becomes as dung on the face of the field in the allotment of Yizre El; so that they not say, This is Iy Zebel. THE HOUSEHOLD OF ACH AB IS DEATHIFIED And Ach Ab has seventy sons in Shomeron: And Yah Hu inscribes scrolls and sends to Shomeron, to the governors of Yizre El, to the elders and to them who are amenable to Ach Ab, saying, And now this scroll comes to you, seeing the sons of your adoni are with you and chariots and horses with you and a fortified city and armour; see to the best and straightest of the sons of your adoni; and set him on the throne of his father and fight for the house of your adoni.

And they awe mightily and say, Behold, two sovereigns stood not at his face: how then stand we?

And him over the house and him over the city and the elders and the amenable send to Yah Hu, saying, We are your servants and work all you say to us; we have no man to reign: work what is good in your eyes.

Then he wrote inscribed a letter scroll the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will shall hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's adoni's sons, and come to me to Jezreel Yizre El by to morrow this time. Now the king's sovereign's sons, being seventy persons men, were with the great men of the city, which brought greatened them up. And so be it came to pass, when the letter scroll came to them, that they took the king's sovereign's sons, and slew slaughtered seventy persons men, and put set their heads in baskets boilers, and sent him them to Jezreel Yizre El. And there came a messenger an angel, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sovereign's sons. And he said, Lay Set ye them in two heaps at the entering in opening of the gate portal until the morning. And so be it came to pass, in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, ye be righteous just: behold, I conspired against my master adoni, and slew slaughtered him: but who slew smote all these? Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing naught of the word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which the L ORD spake Yah Veh worded concerning the house of Ahab Ach Ab: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath done worked that which he spake worded by the hand of his servant Elijah Eli Yah. So Jehu slew Yah Hu smote all that remained survived of the house of Ahab Ach Ab in Jezreel Yizre El, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks those he knew, and his priests, until in surviving, he left him none remaining surviving. And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria Shomeron. And as he was at the shearing tenders' house of binding/Beth Eqed in the way, Jehu Yah Hu met with found the brethren of Ahaziah Achaz Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered said, We are the brethren of Ahaziah Achaz Yah; and we go down descend to salute bid shalom to the children sons of the king sovereign and the children sons of the queen lady. And he said, Take Apprehend them alive. And they took apprehended them alive, and slew slaughtered them at the pit well of the shearing house of binding/Beth Eqed, even two and forty men; neither left he survived any of them. And when he was departed gone thence, he lighted on Jehonadab found Yah Nadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted blessed him, and said to him, Is thine heart right straight, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered Yah Nadab said, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took ascended him up to him into the chariot. And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the L ORD Yah Veh. So they made him ride in his chariot. And when he came to Samaria Shomeron, he slew smote all that remained survived unto Ahab Ach Ab in Samaria Shomeron, till he had destroyed desolated him, according to the saying word of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he spake worded to Elijah Eli Yah. And Jehu Yah Hu gathered all the people together, and said unto them,

And he inscribes them a scroll a second time, saying, If you are mine and if you hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men — the sons of your adoni and come to me to Yizre El by this time tomorrow. The sons of the sovereign — seventy men are with the great men of the city — who greatened them. And so be it, the scroll comes to them, and they take the sons of the sovereign; and slaughter seventy men and set their heads in boilers and send him them to Yizre El. And an angel comes and tells him, saying, They bring the heads of the sons of the sovereign. And he says, Set them in two heaps at the opening of the portal until the morning.

And so be it, in the morning, he goes and stands and says to all the people, You are just! Behold, I conspired against my adoni and slaughtered him! But who smote all these? Now you know that no word of Yah Veh falls to the earth that Yah Veh words concerning the house of Ach Ab: for Yah Veh works what he worded by the hand of his servant Eli Yah.

And Yah Hu smites all the house of Ach Ab in Yizre El who survive — all his great men and those he knew and his priests until in surviving, none survive.

And he rises and departs and goes to Shomeron: and he is at the house of binding/Beth Eqed of the tenders in the way; and Yah Hu finds the brothers of Achaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and says, Who are you?

And they say, We are the brothers of Achaz Yah; and we descend to bid shalom to the sons of the sovereign and the sons of the lady. 14

And he says, Apprehend them alive! And they apprehend them alive and slaughter them at the well of the house of binding/Beth Eqed — forty—two men — none of whom survive.

And he goes from there, and he finds Yah Nadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he blesses him, and says to him, Is your heart as straight as my heart with your heart? And Yah Nadab says, So be it. If so be it, give your hand.

And he gives his hand; and ascends him to himself in the chariot; and he says, Come with me and see my zeal for Yah Veh. So they ride him in his chariot: and when he comes to Shomeron, he smites all who survived Ach Ab in Shomeron until he desolates him according to the word Yah Veh worded to Eli Yah.

Ahab Ach Ab served Baal a little; but Jehu Yah Hu shall serve him much aboundingly. Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none no man be wanting missing: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting missing, he shall not live. But Jehu did Yah Hu worked it in subtilty trickery, to the intent that he might so as to destroy the worshippers servants of Baal. And Jehu Yah Hu said, Proclaim Hallow a solemn private assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed called it. And Jehu Yah Hu sent through all Israel Yisra El: and all the worshippers servants of Baal came, so that there was not a man left surviving that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full filled from one end mouth to another mouth. And he said unto him that was over the vestry wardrobe, Bring forth vestments robes for all the worshippers servants of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments robes. And Jehu Yah Hu went, and Jehonadab Yah Nadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers servants of Baal, Search, and look see that there be here with you none of the servants of the L ORD Yah Veh, but the worshippers servants of Baal only. And when they went in to offer work sacrifices and burnt offerings holocausts, Jehu appointed fourscore Yah Hu set eighty men without, and said, If any a man of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life soul shall be for the life of him his soul. And so be it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of finished offering working the burnt offering holocaust, that Jehu Yah Hu said to the guard runners and to the captains tertiaries, Go in, and slay smite them; let none come forth no man go. And they smote them with the edge mouth of the sword; and the guard runners and the captains tertiaries cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. And they brought forth the images monoliths out of the house of Baal, and burned them. And they brake pulled down the image monolith of Baal, and brake pulled down the house of Baal, and made set it a draught house sewer unto this day. Thus Jehu destroyed Yah Hu desolated Baal out of Israel Yisra El. Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who made Israel Yisra El to sin, Jehu departed not Yah Hu turned not aside from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel Beth El, and that were in Dan. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Jehu Yah Hu, Because thou hast done well good in executing that which is right working straight in mine eyes, and hast done worked unto the house of Ahab Ach Ab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children sons of the fourth generation shall sit settle on the throne of Israel Yisra El. But Jehu took no heed Yah Hu guarded not to walk in the law torah of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El with all his heart: for he departed turned not aside from the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am, which made Israel Yisra El to sin.

Ach Ab served Baal a little; Yah Hu serves him aboundingly: now call to me all the prophets of Baal — all his servants and all his priests — no man missing: for I have a great sacrifice to Baal; whosoever is missing, lives not. — and Yah Hu works trickery so as to destroy the servants of Baal.

And Yah Hu says, Hallow a private assembly for Baal! — and they call it.

And Yah Hu sends through all Yisra El: and all the servants of Baal came, so that no man survives who comes not: and they come to the house of Baal; and the house of Baal is filled from mouth to mouth.

And he says to him who are over the wardrobe, Bring the robes for all the servants of Baal! — and he brings the robes.

And Yah Hu goes to the house of Baal with Yah Nadab the son of Rechab and says to the servants of Baal, Search! See that no servants of Yah Veh are here with you except the servants of Baal by themselves.

And they go in to work sacrifices and holocausts, and Yah Hu sets eighty men outside and says, The man who allows any of the men I bring to your hands to escape — his soul for his soul.

And so be it, as he finishes working the holocaust, Yah Hu says to the runners and to the tertiaries, Go! Smite them! Allow no man to go! — and they smite them with the mouth of the sword; and the runners and the tertiaries cast them out, and go to the city of the house of Baal: and they bring the monoliths from the house of Baal and burn them; and they pull down the monolith of Baal and pull down the house of Baal and set it a sewer to this day; thus Yah Hu desolated Baal from Yisra El. Only, the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat who had Yisra El to sin, Yah Hu turns not aside from after them the golden calves in Beth El and in Dan.

And Yah Veh says to Yah Hu, Because you work good and straight in my eyes and work to the house of Ach Ab according to all in my heart, your sons to the fourth settle on the throne of Yisra El.

In those days the L ORD Yah Veh began to cut Israel short Yisra El off: and Hazael Haza El smote them in all the coasts borders of Israel Yisra El; From Jordan Yarden eastward toward the rising of the sun, all the land of Gilead Gilad, the Gadites Gadiy, and the Reubenites Reu Beniy, and the Manassites Menash Shiy, from Aroer, which is by the river wadi Arnon, even Gilead Gilad and Bashan. Now the rest of the acts words of Jehu Yah Hu, and all that he did worked, and all his might, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El? And Jehu slept Yah Hu laid with his fathers: and they buried entombed him in Samaria Shomeron. And Jehoahaz Yah Achaz his son reigned in his stead. And the time day that Jehu Yah Hu reigned over Israel Yisra El in Samaria Shomeron was twenty and eight years. ATHAL YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH And when Athaliah Athal Yah the mother of Ahaziah Achaz Yah saw that her son was dead died, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the sovereigndom. But Jehosheba Yah Sheba, the daughter of king Joram sovereign Yah Ram, sister of Ahaziah Achaz Yah, took Joash Yah Ash the son of Ahaziah Achaz Yah, and stole him from among the king's sovereign's sons which were slain deathified; and they hid him, even him and his nurse suckler, in the bedchamber from Athaliah the face of Athal Yah, so that he was not slain deathified. And he was with her hid in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh six years. And Athaliah Athal Yah did reign over the land. And the seventh year Jehoiada Yah Yada sent and fetched took the rulers governors over hundreds, with the captains executioners and the guard runners, and brought them to him into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and made cut a covenant with them, and took an oath oathed of them in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and shewed them had them see the king's sovereign's son. And he commanded misvahed them, saying, This is the thing word that ye shall do work; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shabbath shall even be keepers of the watch guard the guard of the king's sovereign's house; And a third part shall be at the gate portal of Sur; and a third part at the gate portal behind the guard runners: so shall ye keep guard the watch guard of the house, that it be not broken down uprooted. And two parts hands of all you that go forth on the sabbath shabbath, even they shall keep guard the watch guard of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh about the king sovereign. And ye shall compass surround the king sovereign round about, every man with his weapons instruments in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges ranks, let him be slain deathified: and be ye with the king sovereign as he goeth out and as he cometh in. And the captains governors over the hundreds did worked according to all things that Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest commanded misvahed: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath shabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath shabbath, and came to Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest.

In those days Yah Veh begins to cut off Yisra El and Haza El smites them in all the borders of Yisra El — from Yarden toward the rising of the sun; all the land of Gilad; the Gadiy and the Reu Beniy and the Menash Shiy; from Aroer by the wadi Arnon; even Gilad and Bashan.

And the rest of the words of Yah Hu and all he worked and all his might, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

And Yah Hu lies down with his fathers: and they entomb him in Shomeron: and Yah Achaz his son reigns in his stead. And the days Yah Hu reigns over Yisra El in Shomeron are twenty—eight years.

ATHAL YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH And Athal Yah is the mother of Achaz Yah; and she sees that her son dies; and she rises and destroys all the seed of the sovereigndom. And Yah Sheba the daughter of sovereign Yah Ram sister of Achaz Yah takes Yah Ash the son of Achaz Yah and steals him from among the sons of the sovereign who are deathified; and they hide him — him and his suckler in the bedchamber from the face of Athal Yah; and he is not deathified. And he is hidden with her in the house of Yah Veh for six years: and Athal Yah reigns over the land.

And the seventh year Yah Yada sends and takes the governors over hundreds, with the executioners and the runners and brings them to him to the house of Yah Veh; and cuts a covenant with them and has them oath in the house of Yah Veh; and has them see the son of the sovereign.

And he misvahs them, saying, This is the word you work; a third of you enter in on the shabbath to guard the guard of the house of the sovereign; and a third at the portal of Sur; and a third at the portal behind the runners: thus you guard the guard of the house that it not be uprooted: and two hands of you all go forth on the shabbath and guard the guard of the house of Yah Veh surrounding the sovereign: surround the sovereign all around every man with his instruments in his hand: and deathify him who comes inside the ranks: and you be with the sovereign as he goes and as he comes.

And Jehoash Yah Ash said to the priests, All the money silver of the dedicated things holies that is brought into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, even the money silver of every one man that passeth the account, the money silver that every man is set at of the appraisal of his soul, and all the money silver that cometh ascendeth into any man's heart to bring into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair strengthen the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found. But And so be it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash sovereign Yah Ash, the priests had not repaired strengthened the breaches of the house. Then king Jehoash sovereign Yah Ash called for Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair strengthen ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive take no more money silver of your acquaintance, but deliver give it for the breaches of the house. And the priests consented to receive take no more money silver of the people, neither to repair strengthen the breaches of the house. But Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest took a chest one ark, and bored a hole in the lid door of it, and set gave it beside the sacrifice altar, on the right side as one man cometh into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: and the priests that kept guarded the door threshold put gave therein all the money silver that was brought into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And so be it was so, when they saw that there was much money silver in the chest ark, that the king's sovereign's scribe and the high great priest came up ascended, and they put up in bags bound it up, and told numbered the money silver that was found in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And they gave the money silver, being told gauged, into the hands of them that did worked the work, that had the oversight the overseers of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: and they laid it out brought it to the carpenters carvers of timber and builders, that wrought worked upon the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, And to masons wallers, and hewers of stone, and to buy chattel timber and hewed stone to repair strengthen the breaches of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and for all that was laid out went for the house to repair strengthen it. Howbeit there were not made worked for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh bowls basons of silver, snuffers tweezers, basons sprinklers, trumpets, any vessels instruments of gold, or vessels instruments of silver, of the money silver that was brought into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: But they gave that to the workmen those doing the work,

And all his days Yah Ash works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh wherein Yah Yada the priest taught him: only, they turn not aside the bamahs: the people still sacrifice and incense in the bamahs. And Yah Ash says to the priests, Bring all the silver of the holies into the house of Yah Veh: the silver of every man who passes — the silver of the appraisal of his soul, all the silver ascending into any heart of man to bring to the house of Yah Veh, the priests take it to every man of his acquaintance to strengthen the breaches of the house wherever they find any breach. And so be it, in the twenty—third year of sovereign Yah Ash, the priests had not strengthened the breaches of the house: and sovereign Yah Ash calls to Yah Yada the priest and to the priests and says to them, Why strengthen you not the breaches of the house? And now take no silver of your acquaintances but give it for the breaches of the house. And the priests consent to neither take silver of the people nor strengthen the breaches of the house: and Yah Yada the priest takes one ark and bores a hole in the door and gives it beside the sacrifice altar — on the right side as man enters the house of Yah Veh: and the priests guarding the threshold give therein all the silver brought into the house of Yah Veh. And so be it, they see much silver in the ark, and the scribe and the great priest of the sovereign ascend and bind and number the silver found in the house of Yah Veh: and they give the gauged silver into the hands of them who work the work — the overseers of the house of Yah Veh: and they bring it to the carvers of timber and builders who work on the house of Yah Veh; and to wallers and hewers of stone; and to chattel timber and hewed stone to strengthen the breaches of the house of Yah Veh; and for all that goes to strengthen the house. Only, there are no workings for the house of Yah Veh — basons of silver, tweezers, sprinklers, trumpets, any instruments of gold, or instruments of silver, of the silver brought into the house of Yah Veh: but they give that to them who do the work

But Hazael Haza El king sovereign of Syria Aram oppressed Israel Yisra El all the days of Jehoahaz Yah Achaz.

but not as the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El that were before him at his face. Against him came up ascended Shalmaneser king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave returned him presents offerings. And the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers angels to So, king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim, and brought holocausted no present offering to the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, as he had done year by year: therefore the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur shut restrained him up, and bound him in the house of prison. Then the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur came up ascended throughout all the land, and went up ascended to Samaria Shomeron, and besieged it three years. YISRA EL EXILED In the ninth year of Hoshea the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur took Samaria captured Shomeron, and carried Israel away exiled Yisra El into Assyria Ashshur, and placed set them in Halah Halach and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes Madaim. For And so be it was , that the children sons of Israel Yisra El had sinned against the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim, which had brought ascended them up out of the land of Egypt Misrayim, from under the hand of Pharaoh Paroh, king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim, and had feared awed other gods elohim, And walked in the statutes of the heathen goyim, whom the L ORD cast out Yah Veh dispossessed from before the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, and of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El, which they had made worked. And the children sons of Israel Yisra El did secretly covertly those things words that were not right against the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim and they built them high places bamahs in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen guards to the fenced fortified city. And they set stationed them up images monoliths and groves asherim in every high hill, and under every green tree: And there they burnt incense incensed in all the high places bamahs, as did the heathen goyim whom the L ORD carried away Yah Veh exiled before them from their face; and wrought wicked things worked evil words to provoke the L ORD to anger vex Yah Veh: For they served idols, whereof the L ORD Yah Veh had said unto them, Ye shall not do work this thing word. Yet the L ORD testified Yah Veh witnessed against Israel Yisra El, and against Judah Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep guard my commandments misvoth and my statutes, according to all the law torah which I commanded misvahed your fathers, and which I sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets. Notwithstanding they would not hear hearkened not, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe trust in the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim.

but not as the sovereigns of Yisra El at his face. Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against him; and Hoshea becomes his servant and returns him offerings: and the sovereign of Ashshur finds conspiracy in Hoshea: for he sends angels to So the sovereign of Misrayim and holocausts no offering to the sovereign of Ashshur as year by year: and the sovereign of Ashshur restrains him and binds him in the house of prison: and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends to all the land and ascends to Shomeron and besieges it three years. YISRA EL EXILED In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim. And so be it, the sons of Yisra El sin against Yah Veh their Elohim — who ascended them from the land of Misrayim from under the hand of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim — and they awe other elohim which they work: and walk in the statutes of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed from the face of the sons of Yisra El and from the sovereigns of Yisra El: and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree: and incense there in all the bamahs as the goyim whom Yah Veh exiled from their face; and work evil words to vex Yah Veh: and serve idols, whereof Yah Veh said to them, Work not this word!

And Yah Veh witnesses against Yisra El and against Yah Hudah, by the hand of all the prophets and by all the seers, saying, Turn from your evil ways and guard my misvoth and my statutes, according to all the torah I misvahed your fathers — which I send to you by the hand of my servants the prophets.

and they followed went after vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen goyim that were round about them, concerning whom the L ORD Yah Veh had charged misvahed them, that they should not do work like them. And they left all the commandments misvoth of the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim and made worked them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove worked an asherah, and worshipped prostrated to all the host of heaven the heavens, and served Baal. And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divined divination and enchantments prognostications, and sold themselves to do work evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, to provoke vex him to anger. Therefore the L ORD Yah Veh was very mighty angry with Israel Yisra El, and removed turned them aside out of his sight face: there was none left none survived but the tribe scion of Judah Yah Hudah only. Also Judah Yah Hudah kept guarded not the commandments misvoth of the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim but walked in the statutes of Israel Yisra El which they made worked. And the LORD Yah Veh rejected refused all the seed of Israel Yisra El, and afflicted humbled them, and delivered gave them into the hand of spoilers plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight face. For he rent Israel ripped Yisra El from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat king to reign: and Jeroboam drave Israel Yarob Am banished Yisra El from following the LORD going after Yah Veh, and made them sin a great sin. For the children sons of Israel Yisra El walked in all the sins of Jeroboam Yarob Am which he did worked; they departed turned not aside from them; Until the L ORD removed Yah Veh turned aside Israel Yisra El out of his sight face, as he had said worded by the hand of all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away Yisra El exiled out of their own land soil to Assyria Ashshur unto this day. GOYIM SETTLE IN SHOMERON And the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur brought men from Babylon Babel, and from Cuthah Kuth, and from Ava Avva, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim Sepharvayim, and placed set them in the cities of Samaria Shomeron instead of the children sons of Israel Yisra El: and they possessed Samaria Shomeron, and dwelt settled in the cities thereof. And so be it was, at the beginning of their dwelling settling there, that they feared awed not the L ORD Yah Veh: therefore the L ORD Yah Veh sent lions among them, which slew some of slaughtered among them. Wherefore they spake said to the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, saying, The nations goyim which thou hast removed exiled, and placed set in the cities of Samaria Shomeron, know not the manner judgment of the God Elohim of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay deathify them, because they know not the manner judgment of the God Elohim of the land.

and they go after vanity and become vain and go after the goyim all around them — to whom Yah Veh misvahed to not work like them: and they leave all the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim; and work moltens — two calves and work an asherah and prostrate to all the host of the heavens and serve Baal: and they pass their sons and their daughters through the fire; and divine divination and prognostications and sell themselves to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh — to vex him. So Yah Veh angers mightily at Yisra El and turns them aside from his face: none survive except only, the scion of Yah Hudah: Yah Hudah also guards not the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim but walks in the statutes Yisra El works. And Yah Veh refuses all the seed of Yisra El and humbles them; and gives them into the hand of plunderers until he casts them from his face: for he rips Yisra El from the house of David; and they have Yarob Am the son of Nebat reign: and Yarob Am banishes Yisra El from going after Yah Veh and has them sin a great sin: and the sons of Yisra El walk in all the sins Yarob Am works: they turn not aside from them; until Yah Veh turns Yisra El aside from his face, as he worded by the hand of all his servants the prophets: thus Yisra El is exiled from their own soil to Ashshur to this day. GOYIM SETTLE IN SHOMERON And the sovereign of Ashshur brings them from Babel and from Kuth and from Avva and from Hamath and from Sepharvayim; and sets them in the cities of Shomeron in the stead of the sons of Yisra El: and they possess Shomeron and settle in the cities thereof. And so be it, at the beginning of their settling there, they awe not Yah Veh: and Yah Veh sends lions among them to slaughter among them. And they say to the sovereign of Ashshur saying, The goyim you exiled and set in the cities of Shomeron know not the judgment of the Elohim of the land: and he sends lions among them: and behold, they deathify them, because they know not the judgment of the Elohim of the land.

And the sovereign of Ashshur misvahs, saying, Walk one of the priests here whom you exiled from there; and have them go and settle there and have him direct the judgment of the Elohim of the land.

And one of the priests they exile from Shomeron comes and settles in Beth El; and directs them how to awe Yah Veh: and goyim by goyim, they work their own elohim and set them in the houses of the bamahs the Shomeroniy work — goyim by goyim in the cities wherein they settle: and the men of Babel work Sukkoth Benoth; and the men of Kuth work Nergal; and the men of Hamath work Ashima; and the Avviy work Nibchaz and Tartaq; and the Sepharviy burn their sons in the fire to Adram Melech and Anam Melech the elohim of the Sepharvayim.

Then the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur commanded misvahed, saying, Carry Walk thither one of the priests whom ye brought exiled from thence; and let them go and dwell settle there, and let him teach direct them the manner judgment of the God Elohim of the land. Then one of the priests whom they had carried away exiled from Samaria Shomeron came and dwelt settled in Bethel Beth El, and taught directed them how they should fear the L ORD awe Yah Veh. Howbeit every nation goyim by goyim made gods worked elohim of their own, and put set them in the houses of the high places bamahs which the Samaritans Shomeroniy had made worked, every nation goyim by goyim in their cities wherein they dwelt settled. And the men of Babylon Babel made Succothbenoth worked Sukkoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Kuth worked Nergal, and the men of Hamath made worked Ashima, And the Avites Avviy made Nibhaz worked Nibchaz and Tartak Tartaq, and the Sepharvites Sepharviy burnt their children sons in fire to Adrammelech Adram Melech and Anammelech Anam Melech, the gods elohim of Sepharvaim Sepharvayim. So they feared the L ORD awed Yah Veh, and made worked unto themselves of the lowest end of them priests of the high places bamahs, which sacrificed worked for them in the houses of the high places bamahs. They feared the L ORD awed Yah Veh, and served their own gods elohim, after the manner judgment of the nations goyim whom they carried away exiled from thence. Unto this day they do work after the former manners judgments: they fear awe not the LORD Yah Veh, neither do work they after their statutes, or after their ordinances judgments, or after the law torah and commandment misvah which the L ORD Yah Veh commanded misvahed the children sons of Jacob Yaaqov, whom he named Israel on whose name he set, Yisra El; With whom the L ORD Yah Veh had made cut a covenant, and charged misvahed them, saying, Ye shall not fear awe other gods elohim, nor bow prostrate yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them: But the L ORD Yah Veh, who brought ascended you up out of the land of Egypt Misrayim with great power force and a stretched out spread arm, him shall ye fear awe, and to him shall ye worship prostrate, and to him shall ye do sacrifice. And the statutes, and the ordinances judgments, and the law torah, and the commandment misvah, which he wrote inscribed for you, ye shall observe guard to do for evermore work all days; and ye shall not fear awe other gods elohim. And the covenant that I have made cut with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear awe other gods elohim. But the L ORD Yah Veh your God Elohim ye shall fear awe; and he shall deliver rescue you out of the hand of all your enemies. Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did worked after their former manner judgment. So these nations goyim feared the LORD awed Yah Veh, and served their graven images sculptiles, both their children sons, and their children's children son's sons: as did worked their fathers, so do work they unto this day.

And they awe Yah Veh and works to themselves — to the end of them priests of the bamahs who work for them in the houses of the bamahs. They awe Yah Veh and served their own elohim after the judgment of the goyim whom they exiled from thence. To this day they work after the former judgments: they neither awe Yah Veh nor work after their statutes — or after their judgments or after the torah and misvah Yah Veh misvahed the sons of Yaaqov — on whom he set the name, Yisra El: with whom Yah Veh cut a covenant and misvahed them, saying, Neither awe other elohim nor prostrate yourselves to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them: but Yah Veh who ascended you from the land of Misrayim with great force and spread arm, awe him; to him, prostrate; to him, sacrifice: and the statutes and the judgments and the torah and the misvah he inscribed for you, guard to work all days; and awe not other elohim: and forget not the covenant I cut with you and awe not other elohim: but awe Yah Veh your Elohim: and he rescues you from the hand of all your enemies. And they hearken not but they work after their former judgment: and these goyim awe Yah Veh and serve their sculptiles — both their sons and sons of their sons: as their fathers worked, thus work they to this day.

YECHIZQI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Now so be it came to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah the son of Ahaz Achaz, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah began to reign. A son of Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah Zechar Yah. And he did worked that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, according to all that David his father did worked. He removed turned aside the high places bamahs, and brake the images monoliths, and cut down the groves asherim, and brake in pieces crushed the brasen copper serpent that Moses Mosheh had made worked: for unto those days the children sons of Israel Yisra El did burn incense incensed to it: and he called it Nehushtan Coppery/Nechustan. He trusted confided in the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El; so that after him was none like him among all the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah, nor any that were before him at his face. For he clave adhered to the L ORD Yah Veh, and departed turned not aside from following after him, but kept guarded his commandments misvoth, which the L ORD Yah Veh commanded Moses misvahed Mosheh. And the LORD Yah Veh was with him; and he prospered comprehended whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, and served him not. He smote the Philistines Peleshethiy, even unto Gaza Azzah, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen guards to the fenced fortified city. And so be it came to pass, in the fourth year of king Hezekiah sovereign Yechizqi Yah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that Shalmaneser king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur came up ascended against Samaria Shomeron, and besieged it. And at the end of three years they took captured it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, Samaria Shomeron was taken captured. And the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur did carry away Israel exiled Yisra El unto Assyria Ashshur, and put guided them in Halah Halach and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes Madaim: Because they obeyed heard not the voice of the L ORD Yah Veh their God Elohim but transgressed trespassed his covenant, and all that Moses Mosheh the servant of the L ORD commanded Yah Veh misvahed, and would not hear them hearkened not, nor do worked them. Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah sovereign Yechizqi Yah did Sennacherib Sancherib king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur come up ascend against all the fenced cut off cities of Judah Yah Hudah, and took apprehended them. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah sent to the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur to Lachish, saying, I have offended sinned; return from me: that which thou puttest givest on me will shall I bear.

YECHIZQI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM And so be it, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Yechizqi Yah the son of Achaz sovereign of Yah Hudah reigns: a son of twenty—five years when he begins to reign; and he reigns twenty—nine years in Yeru Shalem: the name of his mother, Abi the daughter of Zechar Yah: and he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh, according to all David his father worked: he turns aside the bamahs and breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and crushes the copper serpent Mosheh worked: for in those days the sons of Yisra El incensed to it: and he called it Coppery/Nechustan. He confides in Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El; and there is none like him among all the sovereigns of Yah Hudah — neither after him nor at his face: and he adheres to Yah Veh and turns not aside from after him; but guards the misvoth Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh: and Yah Veh is with him; he comprehends wherever he goes: and he rebels against the sovereign of Ashshur and serves him not: he smites the Peleshethiy to Azzah — to the borders; from the tower of the guards to the fortified city. And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah — the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it: and at the end of three years they capture it: in the sixth year of Yechizqi Yah — in the ninth year of Hoshea sovereign of Yisra El Shomeron is captured: and the sovereign of Ashshur exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and guides them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan; and in the cities of the Madaim: because they hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim; but trespass his covenant; and all that Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed they neither hearken nor work them.

And in the fourteenth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur ascends against all the cut off cities of Yah Hudah and apprehends them.

And Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah sends to the sovereign of Ashshur to Lachish saying, I sinned; turn away from me: whatever you give on me, I bear.

unto Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Speak Word, I pray beseech thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language Aramaic; for we understand hear it: and talk word not with us in the Jews' language Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people that are on the wall. But Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler said unto them, Hath my master adoni sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak word these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit settle on the wall, that they may eat their own dung dungs, and drink their own piss the urine at their feet with you? Then Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stood and cried called out with a loud great voice in the Jews' language Yah Hudaic, and spake worded, saying, Hear the word of the great king sovereign, the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur: Thus saith the king sovereign, Let not Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver rescue you out of his hand: Neither let Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah make you trust confide in the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, In rescuing, The L ORD will surely deliver Yah Veh shall rescue us, and this city shall not be delivered given into the hand of the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur. Hearken not to Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah: for thus saith the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, Make an agreement Work with me by a present blessing, and come go out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one man of his fig tree, and drink ye every one man the waters of his cistern well: Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn crop and wine juice, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, when he persuadeth goadeth you, saying, The L ORD will deliver Yah Veh shall rescue us. In rescuing, Hath any of the gods elohim of the nations goyim delivered at all rescued a man his land out of the hand of the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur? Where are the gods elohim of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods elohim of Sepharvaim Sepharvayim, Hena, and Ivah Avva? have they delivered Samaria rescued Shomeron out of mine hand? Who are they among all the gods elohim of the countries lands, that have delivered rescued their country land out of mine hand, that the L ORD Yah Veh should deliver Jerusalem rescue Yeru Shalem out of mine hand? But the people held their peace hushed, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment sovereign's misvah was, saying, Answer him not. Then came Eliakim El Yaqim the son of Hilkiah Hilqi Yah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah Yah Ach the son of Asaph the recorder remembrancer, to Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah with their clothes rent ripped, and told him the words of Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler. And so be it came to pass, when king Hezekiah sovereign Yechizqi Yah heard it, that he rent ripped his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth saq,

say to Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear it: and word not with us in Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people on the wall. 27

And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? — and not to the men who settle on the wall — to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you?

Then Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stands and calls with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and words saying, Hear the word of the great sovereign — the sovereign of Ashshur; thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you for he is not able to rescue you from his hand: nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us; that this city not be given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat — every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink — every man of you of the waters of his well: until I come and take you away to a land like your own land — a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey — to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us. In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur?

Where are the elohim of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim, Hena and Avva? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? Who are they among all the elohim of the lands who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand?

And the people hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not.

Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the remembrancer, come to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler.

And he sent Eliakim El Yaqim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth saq, to Isaiah Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amoz Amos. And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, This day is a day of trouble tribulation, and of rebuke reproof, and blasphemy scorning; for the children sons are come to the birth matrix, and there is not strength force to bring forth birth. It may be the LORD Perhaps Yah Veh thy God Elohim will shall hear all the words of Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, whom the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur his master adoni hath sent to reproach the living God Elohim; and will shall reprove the words which the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant survivors that are left found. So the servants of king Hezekiah sovereign Yechizqi Yah came to Isaiah Yesha Yah. And Isaiah Yesha Yah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master adoni, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Be Awe not afraid at the face of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants lads of the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur have blasphemed me. Behold, I will send shall give a blast spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumour report, and shall return to his own land; and I will shall cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. So Rabshakeh Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler returned, and found the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur warring fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed had pulled stakes from Lachish. And when he heard say of Tirhakah Tirhaqah king sovereign of Ethiopia Kush, Behold, he is come out gone to fight against thee: he returned and sent messengers angels again unto Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus shall ye speak say to Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, saying, Let not thy God Elohim in whom thou trustest confidest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem Yeru Shalem shall not be delivered given into the hand of the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur. Behold, thou hast heard what the kings sovereigns of Assyria Ashshur have done worked to all lands, by destroying devoting them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered rescued? Have the gods elohim of the nations goyim delivered rescued them which my fathers have destroyed ruined; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph Reseph, and the children sons of Eden which were in Thelasar? Where is the king sovereign of Hamath, and the king sovereign of Arpad, and the king sovereign of the city of Sepharvaim Sepharvayim, of Hena, and Ivah Avva? And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah received took the letter scroll of the hand of the messengers angels, and read called it out: and Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah went up ascended into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and spread it before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah prayed before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, and said, O L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El,

and goes into the house of Yah Veh. 2

And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests — covered with saq to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos: and they say to him, Thus says Yechizqi Yah: This day is a day of tribulation and of reproof and scorning; for the sons come to the matrix and there is no force to birth: perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears all the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler whom his adoni the sovereign of Ashshur sends to reproach the living Elohim; and reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and lift a prayer for the survivors that are found. And the servants of sovereign Yechizqi Yah come to Yesha Yah: and Yesha Yah says to them, Say thus to your adoni, Yah Veh says thus: Awe not at the face of the words you heard, by which the lads of the sovereign of Ashshur blasphemed me: behold, I give him a spirit; and he hears a report and returns to his own land; and I fell him by the sword in his own land.

And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler returns and finds the sovereign of Ashshur fighting Libnah: for he heard that he pulled stakes from Lachish.

And when he hears say of Tirhaqah sovereign of Kush, Behold, he goes to fight you! — he returns and sends angels to Yechizqi Yah, saying, Say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you confide deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur work to all lands by devoting them: — and you — rescued? Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined — Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar? Where is the sovereign of Hamath and the sovereign of Arpad and the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim — of Hena and Avva?

L ORD Yah Veh, bow down spread thine ear, and hear: open, L ORD Yah Veh, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib Sancherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God Elohim. Of a truth Truly, LORD Yah Veh, the kings sovereigns of Assyria Ashshur have destroyed desolated the nations goyim and their lands, And have cast given their gods elohim into the fire: for they were no gods elohim, but the work of men's human hands, wood timber and stone: therefore they and have destroyed them.

Then Isaiah Yesha Yah the son of Amoz Amos sent to Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib Sancherib, king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur I have heard. This is the word that the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken worded concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion Siyon hath despised thee, and laughed derided thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem hath shaken her head at after thee. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel Yisra El. By the hand of thy messengers angels thou hast reproached the Lord Adonay, and hast said, With the multitude abundance of my chariots I am come up ascend to the height of the mountains, to the sides flanks of Lebanon, and will shall cut down the tall height of cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir cypress trees thereof: and I will shall enter into the lodgings of his borders edges, and into the forest of his Carmel Karmel/orchard. I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet steps have I dried up parched all the rivers of besieged places seige/Masor. Hast thou not heard long ago from afar how I have done worked it, and of ancient times days that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass be, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cut off cities into ruinous desolate heaps. Therefore And their inhabitants settlers were of small power short of hand, they were dismayed terrified and confounded shamed; they were as the grass herb of the field, and as the green herb sprouts, as the grass leeks on the house tops roofs, and as corn blasted before it be grown up at the face of her stalks. But I know thy abode settlement, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage quaking against me. Because thy rage quaking against me and thy tumult uproar is come up ascendeth into mine ears, therefore I will put shall set my hook in thy nose nostrils, and my bridle bit in thy lips, and I will shall turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

who settles between the cherubim; you are Elohim — you alone of all the sovereigndoms of the earth; you worked the heavens and earth: Yah Veh, spread your ear and hear: open, Yah Veh, your eyes and see: and hear the words of Sancherib, who sends him to reproach the living Elohim. Truly, Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur desolated the goyim and their lands, and gave their elohim to the fire: for they are no elohim but the work of human hands — timber and stone: and destroyed them. Now, O Yah Veh our Elohim, I beseech you, you — save us from his hand; so that all the sovereigndoms of the earth know you are Yah Veh Elohim — you only. And Yesha Yah the son of Amos sends to Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: What you pray to me against Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur I hear. This is the word Yah Veh words concerning him: The virgin the daughter of Siyon despises you and derides you; the daughter of Yeru Shalem shakes her head after you. Whom reproach you and blaspheme? Against whom exalt you your voice and lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy of Yisra El!

By the hand of your angels you reproach Adonay and say, With the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains — to the flanks of Lebanon and cut down the height of cedar trees thereof and the choice cypress trees thereof: and I enter the lodgings of his edges and the forest of his Karmel/orchard.

I dig and drink strange waters; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of seige/Masor. Hear you not from afar, I worked it? And of ancient days, I formed it? And now I bring it to become waste — cut off cities into desolate heaps: and their settlers are short of hand terrified and shamed — as the herb of the field — as the green sprouts — as the leeks on the roofs blasted at the face of her stalks.

And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves of the spontaneous growth, and in the second year that which springeth of the same of the spontaneous sprout; and in the third year sow seed ye, and reap harvest, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof. And the remnant escapees that is escaped survived of the house of Judah Yah Hudah shall yet again take root downward, and bear work fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem shall go forth a remnant survivor, and they that escape the escapees out of mount Zion Siyon: the zeal of the L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth shall do work this. Therefore thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh concerning the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before precede it with shield buckler, nor cast pour a bank mound against it. By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the L ORD an oracle of Yah Veh. For I will defend shall garrison this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake. And so be it came to pass that night, that the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians Ashshuri an hundred fourscore eighty and five thousand: and when they arose started early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses carcases. So Sennacherib Sancherib, king sovereign of Assyria departed Ashshur pulled stakes, and went and returned, and dwelt settled at Nineveh. And so be it came to pass, as he was worshipping prostrating in the house of Nisroch his god elohim, that Adrammelech Adram Melech and Sharezer Shareser his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia Ararat. And Esarhaddon Esar Chaddon his son reigned in his stead. THE SICKNESS OF YECHIZQI YAH In those days was Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah Yesha Yah the son of Amoz Amos came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Set Misvah concerning thine house in order for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, I beseech thee, O L ORD Yah Veh, remember now how I have walked before thee at thy face in truth and with a perfect heart heart at shalom, and have done worked that which is good in thy sight eyes. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah wept sore a great weeping. And so be it came to pass, afore Isaiah ere Yesha Yah was gone out into the middle court city, that the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to him, saying, Turn again back, and tell Hezekiah say to Yechizqi Yah the captain eminent of my people, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, the God Elohim of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will shall heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up ascend unto the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And I will shall add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver shall rescue thee and this city

And this is your sign: this year, eat of the spontaneous growth; and in the second year, of the spontaneous sprout; and in the third year, seed and harvest and plant vineyards and eat the fruits thereof: and the escapees of the house of Yah Hudah who survive take root downward and work fruit upward: for survivors go from Yeru Shalem and escapees from mount Siyon: the zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this. So thus says Yah Veh concerning the sovereign of Ashshur: He neither comes into this city nor shoots an arrow there nor precedes it with buckler nor pours a mound against it: by the way he comes, by the same he returns; and comes not into this city — an oracle of Yah Veh: and I garrison this city to save it for my own sake and for sake of my servant David.

And so be it, that night, the angel of Yah Veh goes out and smites in the camp of the Ashshuri — a hundred eighty—five thousand: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases.

And Sancherib, sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh: and so be it, he prostrates in the house of Nisroch his elohim. and his sons Adram Melech and Shareser smite him with the sword: and they escape into the land of Ararat: and Esar Chaddon his son reigns in his stead.

THE SICKNESS OF YECHIZQI YAH In those days Yechizqi Yah is sick unto death: and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos comes to him and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Misvah concerning your house for you die and live not. And he turns his face to the wall and prays to Yah Veh, saying, I beseech you, O Yah Veh, remember, I pray you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart at shalom and worked good in your eyes! — and Yechizqi Yah weeps a great weeping. And so be it, ere Yesha Yah goes midst the city, the word of Yah Veh comes to him, saying, Turn back and say to Yechizqi Yah, the eminent of my people, Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of David your father, I hear your prayer; I see your tears; behold, I heal you: on the third day, ascend to the house of Yah Veh: and I add fifteen years to your days; and I rescue you and this city

And Isaiah Yesha Yah said, Take a lump cake of figs. And they took and laid set it on the boil ulcer, and he recovered enlivened. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah said unto Isaiah Yesha Yah, What shall be the sign that the L ORD will Yah Veh shall heal me, and that I shall go up ascend into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh the third day? And Isaiah Yesha Yah said, This sign shalt thou have of the L ORD Yah Veh, that the L ORD Yah Veh will do the thing shall work the word that he hath spoken worded: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go turn back ten degrees? And Hezekiah answered Yechizqi Yah said, It is a light thing trifle for the shadow to go down spread ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. And Isaiah Yesha Yah the prophet cried called out unto the L ORD Yah Veh: and he brought turned the shadow ten degrees backward, by the degrees which it had gone down descended in the dial degrees of Ahaz Achaz. THE BABEL ENVOYS At that time Berodachbaladan Berodach Bel Adoni, the son of Baladan Bel Adan, king sovereign of Babylon Babel, sent letters scrolls and a present an offering unto Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah: for he had heard that Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah had been sick. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah hearkened unto them, and shewed them had them see all the house of his precious things spicery, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious best ointment, and all the house of his armour instruments, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing no word in his house, nor in all his dominion reign, that Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah shewed them not had them not see. Then came Isaiah Yesha Yah the prophet unto king Hezekiah sovereign Yechizqi Yah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah said, They are come from a far country land, even from Babylon Babel. And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered Yechizqi Yah said, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing no word among my treasures that I have not shewed them had them see. And Isaiah Yesha Yah said unto Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, Hear the word of the L ORD Yah Veh. Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store treasured unto this day, shall be carried lifted into Babylon Babel: nothing no word shall be left remain, saith the L ORD Yah Veh. And of thy sons that shall issue emerge from thee, which thou shalt beget birth, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace temple of the king sovereign of Babylon Babel. Then said Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah unto Isaiah Yesha Yah, Good is the word of the L ORD Yah Veh which thou hast spoken worded.

from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur: and I garrison this city for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David. 7

And Yesha Yah says, Take a cake of figs. — and they take and set it on the ulcer and he enlivens.

And Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, What is the sign that Yah Veh heals me and I ascend into the house of Yah Veh the third day?

And Yesha Yah says, This is your sign of Yah Veh that Yah Veh works the word he worded: that the shadow go forward ten degrees, or turns back ten degrees.

And Yechizqi Yah says, It is a trifle that the shadow spread ten degrees: no, but have the shadow turn back ten degrees.

And Yesha Yah the prophet calls to Yah Veh: and he turns back the shadow ten degrees by the degrees it descends in the degrees of Achaz.

THE BABEL ENVOYS At that time Berodach Bel Adoni, the son of Bel Adan sovereign of Babel sends scrolls and an offering to Yechizqi Yah: for he hears Yechizqi Yah is sick: and Yechizqi Yah hearkens to them and has them see all the house of his spicery — the silver and the gold and the spices and the best ointment and all the house of his instruments and all they find in his treasures — neither word in his house nor in all his reign that Yechizqi Yah has them not see. And Yesha Yah the prophet comes to sovereign Yechizqi Yah and says to him, What say these men? And whence come they to you? And Yechizqi Yah says, They come from a far land — from Babel.

And he says, What saw they in your house? And Yechizqi Yah says, I had them see all that is in my house: there is no word among my treasures that I had them not see.

16 17

And Yesha Yah says to Yechizqi Yah, Hear the word of Yah Veh. Behold, the days come, that all in your house which your fathers treasure to this day, is lifted to Babel — no word remains, says Yah Veh. And of your sons who emerge from you, whom you birth, they take away; to be eunuchs in the temple of the sovereign of Babel. Then Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, Good is the word of Yah Veh you worded.

And he said, Is it not good, if peace shalom and truth be in my days? THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH And the rest of the acts words of Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, and all his might, and how he made worked a pool, and a conduit channel, and brought water into the city, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah? And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah slept laid with his fathers: and Manasseh Menash Sheh his son reigned in his stead. MENASH SHEH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Manasseh Menash Sheh was a son of twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah Hephsi Bah. And he did worked that which was evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, after the abominations abhorrences of the heathen goyim, whom the L ORD cast out Yah Veh dispossessed before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. For he built up again returned and built the high places bamahs which Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah his father had destroyed; and he reared up raised sacrifice altars for Baal, and made a grove worked an asherah, as did Ahab worked Ach Ab king sovereign of Israel Yisra El; and worshipped prostrated to all the host of heaven the heavens, and served them. And he built sacrifice altars in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, of which the LORD Yah Veh said, In Jerusalem will I put Yeru Shalem shall I set my name. And he built sacrifice altars for all the host of heaven the heavens in the two courts of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times cloudgazed, and used enchantments prognosticated, and dealt worked with familiar spirits necromancers and wizards knowers: he wrought much wickedness abounded to work evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, to provoke vex him to anger. And he set a graven image sculptile of the grove asherah that he had made worked in the house, of which the LORD Yah Veh said to David, and to Solomon Shelomoh his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes scions of Israel Yisra El, will I put shall I set my name for ever eternally: Neither will shall I make the feet of Israel Yisra El move any more waver again out of the land soil which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe shall guard to do work according to all that I have commanded misvahed them, and according to all the law torah that my servant Moses Mosheh commanded misvahed them. But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced Menash Sheh strayed them to do work more evil than did the nations goyim whom the L ORD destroyed Yah Veh desolated before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. And the LORD spake Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying, Because Manasseh Menash Sheh, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah hath done worked these abominations abhorrences, and hath done wickedly vilified above all that the Amorites did Emoriy worked, which were before him at his face, and hath made Judah Yah Hudah also to sin with his idols:

And he says, But not if shalom and truth become in my days. 20

THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH And the rest of the words of Yechizqi Yah and all his might and how he works a pool and a channel and brings water into the city, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? And Yechizqi Yah lies down with his fathers: and Menash Sheh his son reigns in his stead. MENASH SHEH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Menash Sheh is a son of twelve years when he begins to reign; and reigns fiftyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;five years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Hephsi Bah. And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; after the abhorrences of the goyim, whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El. And he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father destroyed; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baal and works an asherah as Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El worked; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them. And he builds sacrifice altars in the house of Yah Veh; of which Yah Veh said, In Yeru Shalem I set my name: and he builds sacrifice altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Yah Veh: and he passes his son through the fire and cloudgazes and prognosticates and works with necromancers and knowers: he abounds to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh to vex him: and he sets a sculptile of the asherah he worked in the house, of which Yah Veh said to David and to Shelomoh his son, In this house and in Yeru Shalem, which I chose from all scions of Yisra El, I set my name eternally: and I add not to waver the feet of Yisra El from the soil I gave their fathers; only, if they guard to work according to all I misvahed them; and according to all the torah my servant Mosheh misvahed them.

And they hearken not: and Menash Sheh strays them to work more evil than the goyim whom Yah Veh desolated at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

And Yah Veh words by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying, Because Menash Sheh sovereign of Yah Hudah works these abhorrences and vilifies above all the Emoriy worked at his face and also has Yah Hudah sin with his idols:

Therefore thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem Yeru Shalem and Judah Yah Hudah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle. And I will stretch shall spread over Jerusalem Yeru Shalem the line of Samaria Shomeron, and the plummet plumb line of the house of Ahab Ach Ab: and I will shall wipe Jerusalem Yeru Shalem as a man wipeth a dish wiping a bowl, wiping it, and turning it upside down to descend upon its face. And I will forsake shall abandon the remnant survivors of mine inheritance, and deliver give them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey plunder and a spoil plunder to all their enemies; Because they have done worked that which was evil in my sight eyes, and have provoked vexed me to anger since from the day their fathers came forth went out of Egypt Misrayim, even unto this day. Moreover Manasseh Menash Sheh shed poured innocent blood very much mighty aboundingly, till he had filled Jerusalem Yeru Shalem from one end mouth to another mouth; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah Yah Hudah to sin, in doing working that which was evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh. Now the rest of the acts words of Manasseh Menash Sheh, and all that he did worked, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah? And Manasseh Menash Sheh slept laid with his fathers, and was buried entombed in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead. AMON REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Amon was a son of twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz Harus of Jotbah Yotbah. And he did worked that which was evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, as his father Manasseh did Menash Sheh worked. And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped prostrated to them: And he forsook the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew deathified the king sovereign in his own house. And the people of the land slew smote all them that had conspired against king sovereign Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah Yoshi Yah his son king to reign in his stead. Now the rest of the acts words of Amon which he did worked, are they not written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah? And he was buried entombed in his sepulchre tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah Yoshi Yah his son reigned in his stead. YOSHI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Josiah Yoshi Yah was a son of eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah Yedidah, the daughter of Adaiah Ada Yah of Boscath Bosqath. And he did worked that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

14 15

so thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I bring evil on Yeru Shalem and Yah Hudah that whoever hears of it, both his ears tingle: and over Yeru Shalem I spread the line of Shomeron and the plumb line of the house of Ach Ab: and I wipe Yeru Shalem — wipe as wiping a bowl, and turn it to descend on its face: and I abandon the survivors of my inheritance and give them into the hand of their enemies; to become a plunder — a plunder to all their enemies because they work evil in my eyes to vex me — from the day their fathers came from Misrayim even to this day.

And also Menash Sheh pours innocent blood mighty aboundingly, until he fills Yeru Shalem mouth to mouth; beside his sin wherewith he had Yah Hudah sin, in working evil in the eyes of Yah Veh.

And the rest of the words of Menash Sheh and all he worked and the sin he sinned, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah?

And Menash Sheh lies down with his fathers entombed in the garden of his own house in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigns in his stead.

20 21 22 23 24

AMON REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Amon is a son of twenty—two years when he begins to reign; and he reigns two years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Meshullemeth the daughter of Harus of Yotbah. And he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh, as his father Menash Sheh worked: and he walks in all the way his father walked and serves the idols his father served and prostrates to them: and he forsakes Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers and walks not in the way of Yah Veh. And the servants of Amon conspire against him and deathify the sovereign in his own house: and the people of the land smite all who conspire against sovereign Amon; and the people of the land have Yoshi Yah his son reign in his stead.

And the rest of the words Amon works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah?

And he is entombed in his tomb in the garden of Uzza: and Yoshi Yah his son reigns in his stead.

YOSHI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Yoshi Yah is a son of eight years when he begins to reign; and he reigns thirty—one years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Yedidah the daughter of Ada Yah of Bosqath. And he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh and walks in all the way of David his father and turns not aside to the right or to the left.

And so be it came to pass, in the eighteenth year of king Josiah sovereign Yoshi Yah, that the king sovereign sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah Asal Yah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, saying, Go up Ascend to Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the high great priest, that he may sum consummate the silver which is brought into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, which the keepers guards of the door threshold have gathered of the people: And let them deliver give it into the hand of the doers workers of the work, that have the oversight of oversee the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: and let them give it to the doers workers of the work which is in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, to repair strengthen the breaches of the house, Unto carpenters carvers, and builders, and masons wallers, and to buy chattel timber and hewn stone to repair strengthen the house. Howbeit there was no reckoning made fabricating with them of the money silver that was delivered given into their hand, because they dealt faithfully worked trustworthily. And Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the high great priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book scroll of the law torah in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And Hilkiah Hilqi Yah gave the book scroll to Shaphan, and he read called it out. And Shaphan the scribe came to the king sovereign, and brought the king word again returned word to the sovereign, and said, Thy servants have gathered melted the money silver that was found in the house, and have delivered given it into the hand of them that do work the work, that have the oversight of oversee the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And Shaphan the scribe shewed told the king sovereign, saying, Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the priest hath delivered given me a book scroll. And Shaphan read called it out before at the face of the king sovereign. And so be it came to pass, when the king sovereign had heard the words of the book scroll of the law torah, that he rent ripped his clothes. And the king commanded sovereign misvahed Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the priest, and Ahikam Achiy Qam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah Michah Yah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah Asah Yah a servant of the king's sovereign's, saying, Go ye, enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh for me, and for the people, and for all Judah Yah Hudah, concerning the words of this book scroll that is found: for great is the wrath fury of the L ORD Yah Veh that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book scroll, to do work according unto all that which is written inscribed concerning us. So Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the priest, and Ahikam Achiy Qam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah Asah Yah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife woman of Shallum the son of Tikvah Tiqvah, the son of Harhas Harchas, keeper guard of the wardrobe clothes; (now she dwelt settled in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem in the college second;) and they communed worded with her. And she said unto them,

And so be it, in the eighteenth year of sovereign Yoshi Yah, the sovereign sends Shaphan the son of Asal Yah the son of Meshullam the scribe to the house of Yah Veh saying, Ascend to Hilqi Yah the great priest, to consummate the silver brought into the house of Yah Veh which the guards of the threshold gathered of the people: to give it into the hand of the workers who oversee the work of the house of Yah Veh — to give it to the workers of the work in the house of Yah Veh to strengthen the breaches of the house — to carvers and builders and wallers — to chattel timber and hew stone to strengthen the house: only, fabricate not with them the silver given into their hand because they work trustworthily. And Hilqi Yah the great priest says to Shaphan the scribe, I found the scroll of the torah in the house of Yah Veh. And Hilqi Yah gives the scroll to Shaphan and he calls it out.

And Shaphan the scribe comes to the sovereign and returns word to the sovereign and says, Your servants melted the silver found in the house and gave it to the hand of them who work the work — who oversee the house of Yah Veh.

And Shaphan the scribe tells the sovereign saying, Hilqi Yah the priest gives me a scroll: and Shaphan calls it out at the face of the sovereign: and so be it, the sovereign hears the words of the scroll of the torah and he rips his clothes.

And the sovereign misvahs Hilqi Yah the priest and Achiy Qam the son of Shaphan and Achbor the son of Michah Yah and Shaphan the scribe and Asah Yah a servant of the sovereign saying, Go you, enquire of Yah Veh for me and for the people and for all Yah Hudah concerning the words of this scroll they found: for the great fury of Yah Veh kindles against us; because our fathers hearkened not to the words of this scroll — to work according to all inscribed concerning us.

And Hilqi Yah the priest and Achiy Qam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asah Yah go to Huldah the prophetess the woman of Shallum the son of Tiqvah the son of Harchas the guard of the clothes; — and she settles in Yeru Shalem — in the second and they word with her.

Thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, Tell Say to the man that sent you to me, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Behold, I will shall bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants settlers thereof, even all the words of the book scroll which the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah hath read called out: Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense incensed unto other gods elohim, that they might provoke vex me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath fury shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched. But to the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah which sent you to enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, As touching the words which thou hast heard; Because thine heart was tender tenderized, and thou hast humbled thyself before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, when thou heardest what I spake worded against this place, and against the inhabitants settlers thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse an abasement, and hast rent ripped thy clothes, and wept before me at my face; I also have heard thee, saith the L ORD an oracle of Yah Veh. Behold therefore, I will shall gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave tomb in peace shalom; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will shall bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again returned word to the sovereign. YOSHI YAH CUTS A COVENANT And the king sovereign sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah Yah Hudah and of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And the king sovereign went up ascended into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and all the men of Judah Yah Hudah and all the inhabitants settlers of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read called out in their ears all the words of the book scroll of the covenant which was found in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the king sovereign stood by a pillar, and made cut a covenant before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, to walk after the L ORD Yah Veh, and to keep guard his commandments misvoth and his testimonies witnesses and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform raise the words of this covenant that were written inscribed in this book scroll. And all the people stood to the covenant. And the king commanded sovereign misvahed Hilkiah Hilqi Yah the high great priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers guards of the door threshold, to bring forth out of the temple manse of the L ORD Yah Veh all the vessels instruments that were made worked for Baal, and for the grove asherah, and for all the host of heaven the heavens: and he burned them without Jerusalem Yeru Shalem in the fields of Kidron Qidron, and carried lifted the ashes dust of them unto Bethel Beth El.

Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Say to the man who sends you to me, Thus says Yah Veh, Behold, I bring evil on this place and the settlers thereof — all the words of the scroll the sovereign of Yah Hudah calls out: because they forsake me and incense to other elohim — to vex me with all the works of their hands; I kindle my fury against this place and quench not. And to the sovereign of Yah Hudah who sends you to enquire of Yah Veh, say thus to him: Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El — the words you heard; because you tenderized your heart and humbled yourself at the face of Yah Veh, when you heard what I worded against this place and against the settlers thereof — that they become a desolation and an abasement and you ripped your clothes and wept at my face; I also hear — an oracle of Yah Veh. So behold, I gather you to your fathers — gather you to your tomb in shalom that your eyes not see all the evil I bring on this place. — and they return word to the sovereign. YOSHI YAH CUTS A COVENANT And the sovereign sends and gathers to him all the elders of Yah Hudah and of Yeru Shalem: and the sovereign ascends into the house of Yah Veh with all the men of Yah Hudah and all the settlers of Yeru Shalem and the priests and the prophets and all the people both small and great: and he calls out in their ears all the words of the scroll of the covenant found in the house of Yah Veh: and the sovereign stands by a pillar and cuts a covenant at the face of Yah Veh — to walk after Yah Veh and to guard his misvoth and his witnesses and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul — to raise the words of this covenant inscribed in this scroll: and all the people stand to the covenant. And the sovereign misvahs Hilqi Yah the great priest and the priests of the second order and the guards of the threshold — to bring from the manse of Yah Veh all the instruments worked for Baal and for the asherah and for all the host of the heavens: and he burns them outside Yeru Shalem in the fields of Qidron; and lifts their dust to Beth El.

And he brake in pieces the images monoliths, and cut down the groves asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men humans. Moreover the sacrifice altar that was at Bethel Beth El, and the high place bamah which Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who made Israel Yisra El to sin, had made worked, both that sacrifice altar and the high place bamah he brake pulled down, and burned the high place bamah, and stamped pulverized it small to powder into dust, and burned the grove asherah. And as Josiah Yoshi Yah turned himself his face, he spied saw the sepulchres tombs that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres tombs, and burned them upon the sacrifice altar, and polluted fouled it, according to the word of the L ORD Yah Veh which the man of God proclaimed Elohim called out, who proclaimed called out these words. Then he said, What title monument is that that I see? And the men of the city told said to him, It is the sepulchre tomb of the man of God Elohim, which came from Judah Yah Hudah, and proclaimed called out these things words that thou hast done worked against the sacrifice altar of Bethel Beth El. And he said, Let him alone; let no man move shake his bones. So they let his bones alone escape, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria Shomeron. And all the houses also of the high places bamahs that were in the cities of Samaria Shomeron, which the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El had made worked to provoke the L ORD to anger vex, Josiah took away Yoshi Yah turned aside, and did worked to them according to all the acts works that he had done worked in Bethel Beth El. And he slew sacrificed all the priests of the high places bamahs that were there upon the sacrifice altars, and burned men's human bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And the king sovereign commanded misvahed all the people, saying, Keep Work the passover pasach unto the L ORD Yah Veh your God Elohim, as it is written inscribed in the book scroll of this covenant. Surely there was not holden worked such a passover pasach from the days of the judges that judged Israel Yisra El, nor in all the days of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El, nor of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah; But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah sovereign Yoshi Yah, wherein this passover pasach was holden worked to the L ORD Yah Veh in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem.

And like unto him was there no king before him sovereign at his face, that turned to the L ORD Yah Veh with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law torah of Moses Mosheh; neither after him arose there any like him.

and he breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and fills their places with bones of humans: and also the sacrifice altar at Beth El and the bamah Yarob Am the son of Nebat, who had Yisra El sin, worked, both that sacrifice altar and the bamah he pulls down and burns the bamah and pulverizes to dust and burns the asherah.

And Yoshi Yah turns his face, and he sees the tombs in the mount; and sends and takes the bones from the tombs and burns them on the sacrifice altar and fouls it, according to the word of Yah Veh which the man of Elohim called out — who called out these words.

Then he says, What monument is this that I see? And the men of the city say to him, It is the tomb of the man of Elohim, who comes from Yah Hudah and calls out these words you worked against the sacrifice altar of Beth El.

And he says, Leave him alone; No man shakes his bones. — and his bones escape with the bones of the prophet who came from Shomeron.

And Yoshi Yah also turns aside all the houses of the bamahs in the cities of Shomeron which the sovereigns of Yisra El worked to vex, and works to them according to all the works he worked in Beth El: and he sacrifices all the priests of the bamahs on the sacrifice altars; and burns human bones on them; and returns to Yeru Shalem.

And the sovereign misvahs all the people, saying, Work the pasach to Yah Veh your Elohim, as inscribed in the scroll of this covenant.

Surely such a pasach was never worked from the days of the judges who judged Yisra El, neither in all the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El, nor of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah: but in the eighteenth year of sovereign Yoshi Yah this pasach was worked to Yah Veh in Yeru Shalem.

And like unto him became no sovereign at his face — who turned to Yah Veh with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might — according to all the torah of Mosheh; nor arose any like unto him after him.

Therefore he would willed to not drink it. These things did worked these three mightiest mighty.

And the settlers of Yebus say to David, Come not here. — and David captures the hunthold of Siyon — the city of David.

And David says, Whoever smites the Yebusiy first becomes head and governor.

So Yah Ab the son of Seruyah ascends first and becomes head: and David settles in the hunthold; so they call it City of David: and he builds the city all around — from Millo and all around: and Yah Ab enlivens the survivors of the city: and in walking, David walks greater and greater: for Yah Veh Sabaoth is with him. THE HEADS OF THE MIGHTY OF DAVID And these are heads of the mighty of David — who strengthen themselves with him in his sovereigndom and with all Yisra El, to have him reign according to the word of Yah Veh concerning Yisra El.

And this is the number of the mighty of David: Yashob Am a son of the Hachmoniy, the head of the tertiaries: he wakened his spear against three hundred — pierced at one time.

And after him El Azar the son of Dodo the Ach Oachiy of the three mighty; he is with David at Pas Dammin; and there the Peleshethiy gathered to war; and there was an allotment of field full of barley; and the people fled the face of the Peleshethiy; and they set themselves midst that allotment and rescued it; and slaughtered the Peleshethiy; and Yah Veh saved them by a great salvation.

And three of the thirty heads descend the rock to David — to the cave of Adullam: and the camp of the Peleshethiy encamp in the valley of Rephaim: and David is then in the hold and the Peleshethiy station is then at Beth Lechem.

And David desired and said, Oh that one give me drink of the water of the well of Beth Lechem at the portal!

And the three split through the camp of the Peleshethiy and bailed water from the well of Beth Lechem by the portal; and lifted and brought to David.

And David willed to not drink of it but poured it out to Yah Veh and said, My Elohim, far be it from me to work this: I — Drink I the blood of these men with their souls? For by their souls they bring it. — and he willed to not drink. The three mighty worked these.

for they had released the oxen stumbled. And the anger wrath of the L ORD Yah Veh was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put spread his hand to the ark: and there he died before God at the face of Elohim. And David was displeased inflamed, because the L ORD Yah Veh had made breached a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza Peres Uzza to this day. And David was afraid awed of God Elohim that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God Elohim home to me? So David brought returned not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside spread it into the house of Obededom Obed Edom the Gittite Gittiy.

Then David said, God Elohim hath broken in breached upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth breaching of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim Baal Perasim. And when they had left their gods elohim there, David gave a commandment said, and they were burned Burn them with fire. And the Philistines yet again Peleshethiy added yet to spread themselves abroad out in the valley. Therefore David enquired asked again of God Elohim; and God Elohim said unto him, Go Ascend not up after them;

for they had released the oxen: and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Uzza and he smites him, because he spread his hand to the ark: and there he dies at the face of Elohim: and David inflames, because Yah Veh breaches a breach on Uzza: and calls that place Peres Uzza/Breach of Uzza to this day.

And David awes Elohim that day, saying, How bring I the ark of Elohim to me?

And David returns not the ark to himself to the city of David, but spreads it into the house of Obed Edom the Gittiy: and the ark of Elohim settles with the house of Obed Edom in his house three months: and Yah Veh blesses the house of Obed Edom and all he has.

What can David speak add more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. O L ORD Yah Veh, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done worked all this greatness, in making known all these great things greatnesses. O L ORD Yah Veh, there is none like thee, neither is there any God Elohim beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And what one nation goyim in the earth is like thy people Israel Yisra El, whom God Elohim went to redeem to be his own people, to make set thee a name of greatness and terribleness awesomeness, by driving out nations goyim from before the face of thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt Misrayim? For thy people Israel Yisra El didst thou make give thine own people for ever eternally; and thou, L ORD Yah Veh, becamest their God Elohim. Therefore now, L ORD Yah Veh, let the thing word that thou hast spoken worded concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever amened eternally, and do work as thou hast said worded. Let it even be established amened, that thy name may be magnified for ever greatened eternally, saying, The L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth is the God — Elohim of Israel Yisra El, even a God — Elohim to Israel Yisra El: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee at thy face. For thou, O my God Elohim, hast told exposed in the ear of thy servant that thou wilt shalt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee at thy face. And now, L ORD Yah Veh, thou art God Elohim, and hast promised worded this goodness unto thy servant: Now therefore let it please thee be thy will to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever at thy face eternally: for thou blessest, O L ORD Yah Veh, and it shall be blessed for ever eternally.

And David smote Hadarezer Hadar Ezer king sovereign of Zobah Sobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish station his dominion hand by the river Euphrates. And David took captured from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen cavalry, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed uprooted/hamstrung all the chariot horses,

What more may David add to you for the honor of your servant? For you know your servant. O Yah Veh, for sake of your servant and according to your own heart, you work all this greatness — that all these greatnesses be known. O Yah Veh — no one like you — no Elohim except you according to all we hear with our ears.

And what one goyim in the earth is as your people Yisra El — for whom Elohim goes to redeem to be his own people to set you a name of greatness and awesomeness by driving out goyim from the face of your people — whom you redeemed from Misrayim?

Yes, you give your people Yisra El to become your people eternally; and you, Yah Veh, become their Elohim.

but reserved remained of them an hundred chariots. And when the Syrians Aramiy of Damascus Dammeseq came to help Hadarezer Hadar Ezer, king sovereign of Zobah Sobah, David slew smote of the Syrians Aramiy two and twenty thousand men. Then David put garrisons set in Syria—damascus Aram Dammeseq; and the Syrians Aramiy became David's servants, and brought gifts bore offerings. Thus the L ORD preserved Yah Veh saved David whithersoever he went. And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer Hadar Ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. Likewise from Tibhath Tibchath, and from Chun Kun, cities of Hadarezer Hadar Ezer, brought took David very mighty much brass copper, wherewith Solomon Shelomoh made worked the brasen copper sea, and the pillars, and the vessels instruments of brass copper. Now when Tou king sovereign of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host valiant of Hadarezer king Hadar Ezer sovereign of Zobah Sobah; He sent Hadoram his son to king sovereign David, to enquire ask of his welfare shalom, and to congratulate bless him, because he had fought against Hadarezer Hadar Ezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war Hadar Ezer was a man of wars with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels instruments of gold and silver and brass copper. Them also king sovereign David dedicated hallowed unto the L ORD Yah Veh, with the silver and the gold that he brought lifted from all these nations goyim; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines Peleshethiy, and from Amalek Amaleq. Moreover Abishai Abi Shai the son of Zeruiah Seruyah slew smote of the Edomites Edomiy in the valley of salt Gay Melach/Valley of Salt eighteen thousand. And he put garrisons set stations in Edom; and all the Edomites Edomiy became David's servants. Thus the L ORD preserved Yah Veh saved David whithersoever he went. So David reigned over all Israel Yisra El, and executed worked judgment and justice justness among all his people. And Joab Yah Ab the son of Zeruiah Seruyah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat the son of Ahilud Achiy Lud, recorder remembrancer. And Zadok Sadoq the son of Ahitub Achiy Tub, and Abimelech Abi Melech the son of Abiathar Abi Athar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe; And Benaiah Bena Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada was over the Cherethites executioners and the Pelethites couriers; and the sons of David were chief about heads at the hand of the king sovereign. SONS OF AMMON REJECT THE MERCY OF DAVID Now And so be it came to pass after this, that Nahash Nachash the king sovereign of the children sons of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead. And David said, I will shew kindness shall work mercy unto Hanun the son of Nahash Nachash, because his father shewed kindness worked mercy to me. And David sent messengers angels to comfort sigh over him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children sons of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort sigh over him. But the princes governors of the children sons of Ammon

And the Aramiy of Dammeseq come to help Hadar Ezer sovereign of Sobah, and David smites of the Aramiy — twenty—two thousand men: and David sets in Aram Dammeseq; and the Aramiy become servants of David and bear offerings. Thus Yah Veh saves David wherever he goes. And David takes the shields of gold on the servants of Hadar Ezer and brings them to Yeru Shalem: and from Tibchath and from Kun, cities of Hadar Ezer, David takes mighty much copper, with which Shelomoh works the copper sea and the pillars and the instruments of copper. And Tou sovereign of Hamath hears that David smites all the valiant of Hadar Ezer sovereign of Sobah; and he sends Hadoram his son to sovereign David to ask shalom of him and to bless him because he fought Hadar Ezer and smote him — for Hadar Ezer was a man of wars with Tou; and all manner of instruments of gold and silver and copper: and sovereign David hallows to Yah Veh, with the silver and the gold he lifts from all the goyim — from Edom and from Moab and from the sons of Ammon and from the Peleshethiy and from Amaleq. And Abi Shai the son of Seruyah smites eighteen thousand of the Edomiy in Gay Melach/Valley of Salt. And he sets stations in Edom; and all the Edomiy become the servants of David. — thus Yah Veh saves David wherever he goes.

And David reigns over all Yisra El and works judgment and justness among all his people.

And Yah Ab the son of Seruyah is over the host; and Yah Shaphat the son of Achiy Lud, remembrancer; and Sadoq the son of Achiy Tub and Abi Melech the son of Abi Athar, the priests; and Shavsha, scribe; and Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada is over the executioners and the couriers; and the sons of David are heads at the hand of the sovereign.

said to Hanun, Thinkest thou In thine eyes that David doth doth David honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto to sigh over thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search probe, and to overthrow overturn, and to spy out the land? Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by to their buttocks crotch, and sent them away. Then there went certain, and told David how concerning the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly mighty ashamed. And the king sovereign said, Tarry Settle at Jericho Yericho until your beards be grown sprout, and then return. And when the children sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious a stink to David, Hanun and the children sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents rounds of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen cavalry out of Mesopotamia Aram Naharaim, and out of Syriamaachah Aram Maachah, and out of Zobah Sobah. So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king sovereign of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched encamped before at the face of Medeba. And the children sons of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle war. THE HOST OF DAVID LINES UP AGAINST THE SONS OF AMMON And when David heard of it, he sent Joab Yah Ab, and all the host of the mighty men. And the children sons of Ammon came out went, and put the battle in array lined up for war before in front of the gate portal of the city: and the kings sovereigns that were come were by themselves in the field. Now when Joab Yah Ab saw that the battle face of the war was set against him before at his face and behind, he chose out of all the choice chosen of Israel Yisra El, and put lined them in array up against to meet the Syrians Aramiy. And the rest of the people he delivered gave unto the hand of Abishai Abi Shai his brother, and they set themselves in array lined up against to meet the children sons of Ammon. And he said, If the Syrians Aramiy be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me become my salvation: but if the children sons of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help shall save thee. Be of good courage Strengthen, and let us behave ourselves valiantly toughen for our people, and for the cities of our God Elohim: and let the L ORD Yah Veh do work that which is good in his sight eyes. So Joab Yah Ab and the people that were with him drew nigh before at the face of the Syrians Aramiy unto the battle war; and they fled before him from his face. And when the children sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians Aramiy were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai from the face of Abi Shai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab Yah Ab came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And when the Syrians Aramiy saw that they were put to the worse smitten before Israel at the face of Yisra El, they sent messengers angels,

say to Hanun, In your eyes, honors David your father, by sending to sigh over you? Come not his servants to you to probe and to overturn and to spy out the land? 4

And Hanun takes the servants of David and shaves them and cuts off their garments in the middle to the crotch and sends them away: and some go and tell David concerning the men: and he sends to meet them for the men are mighty shamed. And the sovereign says, Settle at Yericho until your beards sprout and return.

And the sons of Ammon see they make themselves a stink to David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a thousand rounds of silver to hire chariots and cavalry from Aram Naharaim and from Aram Maachah and from Sobah: and they hire thirty—two thousand chariots and the sovereign of Maachah and his people — who come and encamp at the face of Medeba: and the sons of Ammon gather from their cities and come to war. THE HOST OF DAVID LINES UP AGAINST THE SONS OF AMMON And David hears, and he sends Yah Ab and all the host of the mighty: and the sons of Ammon go and line up for war in front of the portal of the city: and the sovereigns come by themselves in the field. And Yah Ab sees that the face of the war is set against him at his face and behind; and he chooses from all the chosen of Yisra El and lines them up to meet the Aramiy: and the rest of the people he gives to the hand of Abi Shai his brother and they line up to meet the sons of Ammon. And he says, If the Aramiy are too strong for me, then you become my salvation: but if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I save you. Strengthen! Toughen! — for our people and for the cities of our Elohim: O that Yah Veh work good in his eyes. And Yah Ab and the people with him draw near the face of the Aramiy to the war; and they flee from his face: and the sons of Ammon see the Aramiy flee, and they likewise flee the face of Abi Shai his brother and enter the city: and Yah Ab comes to Yeru Shalem. And the Aramiy see they are smitten at the face of Yisra El; and they send angels

and drew forth brought the Syrians Aramiy that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain governor of the host of Hadarezer Hadar Ezer went before them at their face. And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel Yisra El, and passed over Jordan Yarden, and came upon them, and set the battle in array lined up against them. So when David had put the battle in array lined up for war against to meet the Syrians Aramiy, they fought with him. But the Syrians Aramiy fled before Israel from the face of Yisra El; and David slew slaughtered of the Syrians Aramiy seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed deathified Shophach the captain governor of the host. And when the servants of Hadarezer Hadar Ezer saw that they were put to the worse smitten before Israel at the face of Yisra El, they made peace shalamed with David, and became his servants: neither would willed the Syrians Aramiy help to save the children sons of Ammon any more. THE HOST OF DAVID RUINS THE SONS OF AMMON And so be it came to pass, that after the turn of the year was expired, at the time that kings sovereigns go out to battle, Joab led forth Yah Ab drove the power valiant of the army hosts, and wasted ruined the country land of the children sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried settled at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And Joab Yah Ab smote Rabbah, and destroyed demolished it. And David took the crown of their king sovereign from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent the weight of a round of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much a mighty abounding of spoil out of the city. And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut sawed them with saws, and with harrows slicers of iron, and with axes saws. Even so dealt worked David with all the cities of the children sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. DAVID WARS WITH THE PELESHETHIY AND THE RAPHAIY And so be it came to pass after this, that there arose stood war at Gezer with the Philistines Peleshethiy; at which time Sibbechai when Sibbechay the Hushathite slew Sippai Hushathiy smote Sippay, that was birthed of the children of the giant Rapha: and they were subdued. And there was war again with the Philistines Peleshethiy; and Elhanan El Hanan the son of Jair Yaur slew Lahmi smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath Golyath the Gittite Gittiy, whose spear staff timber was like a weaver's beam. And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature measure, whose fingers and toes digits were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son birthed of the giant Rapha. But when he defied Israel reproached Yisra El, Jonathan Yah Nathan the son of Shimea Shimah David's brother slew smote him. These were born birthed unto the giant Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

and bring the Aramiy from beyond the river: and Shophach the governor of the host of Hadar Ezer comes at their face. 17

And they tell David; and he gathers all Yisra El and passes over Yarden and comes on them and lines up against them: and David lines up for war to meet the Aramiy and they fight with him: and the Aramiy flee the face of Yisra El: and David slaughters of the Aramiy seven thousand in chariots and forty thousand footmen and deathifies Shophach the governor of the host. And the servants of Hadar Ezer see they are smitten at the face of Yisra El; and they shalam with David and become his servants: and the Aramiy will no more to save the sons of Ammon. THE HOST OF DAVID RUINS THE SONS OF AMMON And so be it, after the turn of the year, at the time sovereigns go out, Yah Ab drives the valiant of the hosts and ruins the land of the sons of Ammon; and comes and besieges Rabbah: and David settles at Yeru Shalem: and Yah Ab smites Rabbah and demolishes it. And David takes the crown off the head of their sovereign and finds the weight is a round of gold; and there are precious stones in it; and they set it on the head of David: and he brings a mighty abounding of spoil from the city: and he brings the people therein and saws them with saws and with slicers of iron and with saws: and thus David works with all the cities of the sons of Ammon: and David and all the people return to Yeru Shalem. DAVID WARS WITH THE PELESHETHIY AND THE RAPHAIY And so be it, after this, war stands at Gezer with the Peleshethiy; and Sibbechay the Hushathiy smites Sippay, birthed of Rapha: and they are subdued.

And again there is war with the Peleshethiy; and El Hanan the son of Yaur smites Lachmi the brother of Golyath the Gittiy — whose spear timber is like the beam of a weaver.

And again there is war at Gath; there being a man of measure whose digits are six and six — twenty—four; and he also is birthed of Rapha: and he reproaches Yisra El, and Yah Nathan the son of Shimah the brother of David smites him. These are birthed to Rapha in Gath; and they fall by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

SATAN GOADS DAVID TO NUMBER YISRA EL And Satan stood up against Israel Yisra El, and provoked goaded David to number Israel Yisra El. And David said to Joab Yah Ab and to the rulers governors of the people, Go, number and scribe Israel Yisra El from Beersheba Beer Sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. And Joab answered Yah Ab said, The L ORD make Yah Veh add to his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord adoni the king sovereign, are they not all my lord's adoni's servants? why then doth my lord require adoni seek this thing? why will shall he be a cause of trespass guilt to Israel Yisra El? Nevertheless the king's sovereign's word prevailed against Joab Yah Ab. Wherefore Joab departed Yah Ab went, and went throughout all Israel Yisra El, and came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And Joab Yah Ab gave the sum number of the number census of the people unto David. And all they of Israel Yisra El were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah Yah Hudah was four hundred threescore and ten seventy thousand men that drew sword. But Levi and Benjamin Ben Yamin counted mustered he not among them: for the king's sovereign's word was abominable abhorrent to Joab Yah Ab. And God was displeased with this thing And this word was evil in the eyes of Elohim; therefore he smote Israel Yisra El. And David said unto God Elohim, I have sinned greatly mightily, because I have done worked this thing word: but now, I beseech thee, do away pass over the iniquity perversity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly follied mightily. And the LORD spake Yah Veh worded unto Gad, David's seer, saying, Go and tell word to David, saying, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, I offer spread to thee three things: choose thee one of these, that I may do work it unto thee. So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, Choose Take to thee Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed scraped away before at the face of thy foes tribulators, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the L ORD Yah Veh, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the L ORD destroying Yah Veh ruining throughout all the coasts borders of Israel Yisra El. Now therefore advise thyself see what word I shall bring again return to him that sent me. And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait mighty tribulated: let me fall now I pray thee, into the hand of the L ORD Yah Veh; for very great mighty many are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man humanity. So the L ORD Yah Veh sent gave pestilence upon Israel Yisra El: and there fell of Israel Yisra El seventy thousand men. And God Elohim sent an angel unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem to destroy ruin it: and as he was destroying ruining, the L ORD beheld Yah Veh saw, and he repented sighed him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed ruined, It is enough, Enough! stay Slacken now thine hand. And the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite Yebusiy. And David lifted up his eyes,

SATAN GOADS DAVID TO NUMBER YISRA EL And Satan stands against Yisra El and goads David to number Yisra El: and David says to Yah Ab and to the governors of the people, Go, number and scribe Yisra El from Beer Sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, so I know.

And Yah Ab says, Yah Veh adds to his people a hundred times: but, my adoni sovereign, are they not all servants of my adoni? Why seeks my adoni this? Why becomes he a guilt to Yisra El?

And the word of the sovereign prevails against Yah Ab: and Yah Ab goes — goes through all Yisra El and comes to Yeru Shalem: and Yah Ab gives the number of the census of the people to David: and all Yisra El is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men who draw sword: and Yah Hudah is four hundred seventy thousand men who draw sword: and he musters not Levi and Ben Yamin among them: for the word of the sovereign is abhorrent to Yah Ab: and this word is evil in the eyes of Elohim; and he smites Yisra El.

6 7 8

And David says to Elohim, I sinned mightily in working this word: and now, I beseech you, pass over the perversity of your servant; for I follied mightily.

And Yah Veh words to Gad the seer of David, saying, Go and word to David, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: I spread these three to you: choose one of these, for me to work to you.

11 12

And Gad comes to David and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh: Take to you — either three years famine; — or three months to be scraped away at the face of your tribulators as the sword of your enemies overtakes you; — or three days of the sword of Yah Veh even the pestilence in the land and the angel of Yah Veh ruining throughout all the borders of Yisra El: and now see, What word return I to him who sends me?

And David says to Gad, I am mighty tribulated: Let me fall, I pray you, into the hand of Yah Veh; for mighty many are his mercies: but that I not fall into the hand of humanity.

So Yah Veh gives pestilence on Yisra El: and there fall seventy thousand men of Yisra El: and Elohim sends an angel to ruin Yeru Shalem: and as he ruins, Yah Veh sees and he sighs concerning the evil; and says to the angel who ruins, Enough now! Slacken your hand!

And the angel of Yah Veh stands by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: and David lifts his eyes

and saw the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh stand between the earth and between the heaven heavens, having a drawn sword his sword drawn in his hand stretched out spread over Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed covered in sackcloth saq, fell upon their faces. And David said unto God Elohim, Is it not I that commanded said the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed in vilifying, have vilified; but as for these sheep this flock, what have they done worked? let thine hand, I pray beseech thee, O L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. Then the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh commanded said to Gad to say to David, that David should go up ascend, and set up an raise a sacrifice altar unto the L ORD Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite Yebusiy. And David went up ascended at the saying word of Gad, which he spake worded in the name of the L ORD Yah Veh. And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat. And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face nostrils to the ground earth. Then David said to Ornan, Grant Give me the place of this the threshingfloor, that I may build an a sacrifice altar therein unto the L ORD Yah Veh: thou shalt grant give it me for the full price silver: that the plague may be stayed restrained from the people. And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord adoni the king sovereign do work that which is good in his eyes: lo see, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings holocausts, and the threshing instruments sledges for wood timber, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all. And king sovereign David said to Ornan, Nay; but in chatteling, I will verily buy shall chattel it for the full price silver: for I will shall not take lift that which is thine for the L ORD Yah Veh, nor offer burnt offerings holocaust holocausts without cost gratuitously. So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight. And David built there an a sacrifice altar unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts and peace offerings shelamim, and called upon the L ORD Yah Veh; and he answered him from heaven the heavens by fire upon the sacrifice altar of burnt offering holocaust. And the LORD commanded Yah Veh said to the angel; and he put up turned back his sword again into the sheath thereof. At that time when David saw that the L ORD Yah Veh had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite Yebusiy, then he sacrificed there. For the tabernacle of the L ORD Yah Veh, which Moses made Mosheh worked in the wilderness, and the sacrifice altar of the burnt offering holocaust, were at that season time in the high place bamah at Gibeon Gibon. But David could not go before it at its face to enquire of God Elohim: for he was afraid frightened because from the face of the sword of the angel of the L ORD Yah Veh.

and sees the angel of Yah Veh stand between the earth and between the heavens, with his sword drawn in his hand spread over Yeru Shalem. — and David and the elders cover in saq and fall on their faces. 17

And David says to Elohim, Said I not to number the people? Yes, I who sins? Who in vilifying, vilifies? And as for this flock, what worked they? Let your hand, I beseech you, O Yah Veh my Elohim, be on me and on the house of my father; but not on your people, to plague them.

And the angel of Yah Veh says to Gad to say to David, that David ascend and raise a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy.

And David ascends at the word Gad words in the name of Yah Veh: and Ornan turns back and sees the angel; and his four sons with him hide themselves: and Ornan threshes wheat: and David comes to Ornan; and Ornan looks and sees David and goes from the threshingfloor and bows himself to David with his nostrils to the earth.

20 21

And David says to Ornan, Give me the place of the threshingfloor to build a sacrifice altar therein to Yah Veh — give it me for the full silver: to restrain the plague from the people.

And Ornan says to David, Take it to yourself and may my adoni the sovereign work what is good in his eyes: see, I give you the oxen for holocausts and the threshing sledges for timber and the wheat for the offering — I give all.

And sovereign David says to Ornan, No; but in chatteling, I chattel it for the full silver: for neither lift I what is yours for Yah Veh, nor holocaust holocausts gratuitously.

And David gives Ornan six hundred shekels of gold by weight for the place: and there David builds a sacrifice altar to Yah Veh and holocausted holocausts and shelamim; and calls on Yah Veh. — and he answers him from the heavens by fire on the sacrifice altar of holocaust.

27 28

And Yah Veh says to the angel; and he turns his sword back into its sheath: at that time David sees that Yah Veh answers him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: and he sacrifices there. And the tabernacle of Yah Veh, Mosheh worked in the wilderness and the sacrifice altar of the holocaust, are at that time in the bamah at Gibon: and David cannot go at its face to enquire of Elohim because he is frightened of the face of the sword of the angel of Yah Veh.

So David prepared abundantly in abundance before at the face of his death. Then he called for Solomon Shelomoh his son, and charged misvahed him to build an house for the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El. And David said to Solomon Shelomoh, My son, as for me, it was in my mind heart to build an house unto the name of the L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim: But the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to me, saying, Thou hast shed poured blood abundantly in abundance, and hast made worked great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed poured much blood upon the earth in my sight face. Behold, a son shall be born birthed to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will shall give him rest him from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon Shelomoh, and I will shall give peace shalom and quietness rest unto Israel Yisra El in his days. He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son to me, son, and I will shall be his father to him, father; and I will shall establish the throne of his kingdom sovereigndom over Israel for ever Yisra El eternally. Now, my son, the L ORD Yah Veh be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, as he hath said worded of thee. Only the L ORD Yah Veh give thee wisdom comprehension and understanding discernment, and give misvah thee charge concerning Israel Yisra El, that thou mayest keep guard the law torah of the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed guardest to fulfil work the statutes and judgments which the L ORD Yah Veh charged Moses with misvahed Mosheh concerning Israel Yisra El: be strong strengthen, and of good courage encourage; dread awe not, nor be dismayed terrify. Now, behold, in my trouble humiliation I have prepared for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh an hundred thousand talents rounds of gold, and a thousand thousand talents rounds of silver; and of brass copper and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

And he calls for Shelomoh his son and misvahs him to build a house for Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: and David says to Shelomoh his son, As for me, it is in my heart to build a house to the name of Yah Veh my Elohim: and the word of Yah Veh comes to me, saying, You poured blood in abundance and worked great wars: you build not a house to my name, because you poured much blood on the earth at my face: behold — a son is birthed to you who is a man of rest; and I rest him from all his enemies all around: for his name becomes Shelomoh/Of Shalom; and I give Yisra El shalom and rest in his days: he builds a house for my name; and he becomes to me, son and I become to him, father; and I establish the throne of his sovereigndom over Yisra El eternally.

And God Elohim said to Solomon Shelomoh, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth holdings, or honour, nor the life soul of thine enemies thy haters, neither yet hast asked long life many days; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king reign: Wisdom and knowledge is granted given unto thee; and I will shall give thee riches, and wealth holdings, and honour, such as none of the kings sovereigns have had that have been before thee at thy face, neither shall there any become after thee have the like.

THE ARK BROUGHT INTO THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH Thus all the work that Solomon made Shelomoh worked for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh was finished shalamed: and Solomon Shelomoh brought in all the things that holies of David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put gave he among the treasures of the house of God Elohim. Then Solomon assembled Shelomoh congregated the elders of Israel Yisra El, and all the heads of the tribes rods, the chief hierarch of the fathers of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to bring up ascend the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh out of the city of David, which is Zion Siyon. Wherefore all the men of Israel Yisra El assembled congregated themselves unto the king sovereign in the feast celebration which was in the seventh month. And all the elders of Israel Yisra El came; and the Levites took up Leviym bore the ark. And they brought up ascended the ark, and the tabernacle tent of the congregation, and all the holy vessels instruments that were in the tabernacle tent, these did the priests and the Levites Leviym bring up ascend. Also king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh, and all the congregation witness of Israel Yisra El that were assembled congregated unto him before at the face of the ark, sacrificed sheep flock and oxen, which could not be told scribed nor numbered for multitude abundance. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh unto his place, to the oracle pulpit of the house, into the most holy place Holy of Holies, even under the wings of the cherubims cherubim: For the cherubims cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above. And they drew out lengthened the staves of the ark, that the ends heads of the staves were seen from the ark before at the face of the oracle pulpit; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. There was nothing naught in the ark save except the two tables slabs which Moses put Mosheh gave therein at Horeb, when the L ORD made Yah Veh cut a covenant with the children sons of Israel Yisra El, when they came went out of Egypt Misrayim. THE HONOR OF YAH VEH FILLS THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it came to pass, when the priests were come gone out of the holy place holies: (for all the priests that were present found were sanctified hallowed, and did not then wait guard by course allotment: Also the Levites Leviym which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun Yeduthun, with their sons and their brethren,

THE ARK BROUGHT INTO THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And they shalam all the work Shelomoh works for the house of Yah Veh: and Shelomoh brings in all the holies of David his father; and he gives the silver and the gold and all the instruments among the treasures of the house of Elohim: then Shelomoh congregates the elders of Yisra El and all the heads of the rods — hierarch of the fathers of the sons of Yisra El to Yeru Shalem; to ascend the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh from the city of David — Siyon. And all the men of Yisra El congregate to the sovereign in the celebration in the seventh month: and all the elders of Yisra El come and the Leviym bear the ark; and they ascend the ark and the tent of the congregation and all the holy instruments in the tent — the priests and the Leviym ascend these: and sovereign Shelomoh and all the witness of Yisra El who congregate to him at the face of the ark, sacrifice flock and oxen — neither scribed nor numbered for abundance: and the priests bring the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh to its place — to the pulpit of the house in the Holy of Holies under the wings of the cherubim: and the cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark; and the cherubim cover over the ark and the staves: and they lengthen the staves so that the heads of the staves are seen from the ark at the face of the pulpit; but they are not seen outward: and there it is to this day — naught in the ark except the two slabs Mosheh gave at Horeb, when Yah Veh cut with the sons of Yisra El when they came from Misrayim. THE HONOR OF YAH VEH FILLS THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it, the priests go from the holies: — for all the priests who are found are hallowed with none to guard by allotment: and the Leviym — the singers — all of them — of Asaph, of Heman, of Yeduthun, with their sons and their brothers

being arrayed enrobed in white bleached linen, having cymbals and psalteries bagpipes and harps, stood at the east end rising of the sacrifice altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding trumpeting with trumpets:) So be It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound voice to be heard in praising halaling and thanking the LORD extending hands to Yah Veh; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick song, and praised the L ORD halaled Yah Veh, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever be eternal: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the L ORD Yah Veh; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason at the face of the cloud: for the glory honour of the L ORD Yah Veh had filled the house of God Elohim. SHELOMOH RECOUNTS THE PROMISES OF YAH VEH Then said Solomon Shelomoh, The L ORD Yah Veh hath said that he would dwell should tabernacle in the thick dripping darkness. But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place an establishment for thy dwelling settling for ever eternally. And the king sovereign turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel Yisra El: and all the congregation of Israel Yisra El stood. And he said, Blessed be the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake worded with his mouth to my father David, saying, Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt Misrayim I chose no city among all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler eminent over my people Israel Yisra El: But I have chosen Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel Yisra El. Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El. But the L ORD Yah Veh said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well good in that it was in thine heart: Notwithstanding Only thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come go forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. The L ORD Yah Veh therefore hath performed raised his word that he hath spoken worded: for I am risen up in the room stead of David my father, and am set settled on the throne of Israel Yisra El, as the L ORD promised Yah Veh worded, and have built the house for the name of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El. And in it therein have I put set the ark, wherein is the covenant of the L ORD Yah Veh, that he made cut with the children sons of Israel Yisra El. THE PRAYER OF HANUKKAH OF SHELOMOH And he stood before at the face of the sacrifice altar of the L ORD Yah Veh in the presence of all the congregation of Israel Yisra El, and spread forth his hands palms: For Solomon Shelomoh had made worked a brasen scaffold copper laver, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set given it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before in front of all the congregation of Israel Yisra El,

SHELOMOH RECOUNTS THE PROMISES OF YAH VEH Then Shelomoh says, Yah Veh says that he tabernacles in the dripping darkness: and I — I build a house of habitation for you and an establishment for you to settle eternally. And the sovereign turns his face and blesses the whole congregation of Yisra El: and all the congregation of Yisra El stands; and he says, Blessed — Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, who, with his hands fulfills what he worded with his mouth to my father David, saying, Since the day I brought my people from the land of Misrayim I neither chose a city among all the scions of Yisra El to build a house for my name to be there; nor chose I any man to be eminent over my people Yisra El: and I choose Yeru Shalem, for my name to be there; and choose David to be over my people Yisra El. And it is in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: and Yah Veh says to David my father, Because it is in your heart to build a house for my name, you do good in that it is in your heart: only, you build not the house; but your son who comes from your loins — he builds the house for my name. And Yah Veh raises the word he worded: and I rise in the stead of David my father and settle on the throne of Yisra El as Yah Veh worded; and build the house for the name of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: and therein I set the ark wherein is the covenant of Yah Veh he cut with the sons of Yisra El. THE PRAYER OF HANUKKAH OF SHELOMOH And he stands at the face of the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh in the presence of all the congregation of Yisra El and spreads his palms: for Shelomoh worked a copper laver, five cubits long and five cubits wide and three cubits high and gives it midst the court: and he stands thereon and kneels on his knees in front of all the congregation of Yisra El

THE HANUKKAH OF THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH Now when Solomon Shelomoh had made an end of finished praying, the fire came down descended from heaven the heavens, and consumed the burnt offering holocaust and the sacrifices; and the glory honour of the L ORD Yah Veh filled the house.

YAH VEH IS SEEN BY SHELOMOH And Yah Veh is seen by Shelomoh by night and says to him, I hear your prayer and choose this place for myself for a house of sacrifice. If I restrain the heavens to not rain; or if I misvah the locusts to devour the land; or if I send pestilence among my people; if my people, on whom my Name* is called, humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their evil ways; then I hear from the heavens and forgive their sin and heal their land. *name: see Yah Hudah in Lexicon

*name: see Yah Hudah in Lexicon

And Shelomoh finishes the house of Yah Veh and the house of the sovereign: and he prospers all who come to the heart of Shelomoh to work in the house of Yah Veh and in his own house.

Now my eyes open and my ears hearken to the prayer in this place: and now I choose and hallow this house, for my name being there eternally: and my eyes and my heart being there all days. And as for you, if you walk at my face as David your father walked and work according to all I misvah you and guard my statutes and my judgments; then I raise the throne of your sovereigndom according as I cut with David your father, saying, There is not cut off to you a man to reign in Yisra El. And if you turn away and forsake my statutes and my misvoth which I give at your face and go and serve other elohim and worship them; then I uproot them from my soil which I gave them; and this house I hallowed for my name, I cast from my face and give it to be a proverb and a gibe among all the peoples.

And this house, being Elyon, all who pass by, desolate and say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land and to this house?

And they say, Because they forsook Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers who brought them from the land of Misrayim; and laid hold on other elohim and prostrated to them and served them: so he brings all this evil on them.

And Solomon Shelomoh went to Hamathzobah Hamath Sobah, and prevailed against it. And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store storage cities, which he built in Hamath. Also he built Bethhoron Beth Horon the upper and Bethhoron Beth Horon the nether, fenced rampart cities, with walls, gates doors, and bars; And Baalath, and all the store storage cities that Solomon Shelomoh had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen cavalry, and all that Solomon desired Shelomoh attached to build in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion reign. As for all the people that were left remaining of the Hittites Hethiy, and the Amorites Emoriy, and the Perizzites Perizziy, and the Hivites Hivviy, and the Jebusites Yebusiy, which were not of Israel Yisra El, But of their children sons, who were left remained after them in the land, whom the children sons of Israel Yisra El consumed finished not, them did Solomon Shelomoh make cause to pay tribute ascend a vassal until this day. But of the children sons of Israel Yisra El did Solomon make Shelomoh gave no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief governor of his captains tertiaries, and captains governors of his chariots and horsemen cavalry. And these were the chief governor of king Solomon's sovereign Shelomoh's officers station prefects, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule subjugated over the people. And Solomon brought up Shelomoh ascended the daughter of Pharaoh Paroh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife woman shall not dwell settle in the house of David king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, because the places are holy of the holies, whereunto the ark of the L ORD Yah Veh hath come. Then Solomon Shelomoh offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts unto the L ORD Yah Veh on the sacrifice altar of the L ORD Yah Veh, which he had built before at the face of the porch, Even after a certain rate every day day by day word, offering holocausting according to the commandment misvah of Moses Mosheh, on the sabbaths shabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts seasons, three times in the year, even in the feast celebration of unleavened bread matsah, and in the feast celebration of weeks, and in the feast celebration of tabernacles sukkoth/brush arbors.

THE FAME OF SHELOMOH And so be it, at the end of twenty years, Shelomoh builds the house of Yah Veh and his own house; and the cities Hiram gives to Shelomoh, Shelomoh builds them, and has the sons of Yisra El settle there. And Shelomoh goes to Hamath Sobah and prevails against it: and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness and builds all the storage cities in Hamath: and he builds Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the nether — rampart cities with walls, doors and bars: and Baalath and all the storage cities Shelomoh has and all the chariot cities and the cities of the cavalry and all that Shelomoh attaches to build in Yeru Shalem and in Lebanon and throughout all the land of his reign. All the people who remain of the Hethiy and the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Hivviy and the Yebusiy who are not of Yisra El — of their sons who remain after them in the land whom the sons of Yisra El finished not off; Shelomoh ascends them — a vassal until this day. And of the sons of Yisra El Shelomoh gives no servants for his work; but they are men of war and governors of his tertiaries and governors of his chariots and cavalry: and these are the station prefects of the governor of sovereign Shelomoh — two hundred and fifty who subjugate over the people. And Shelomoh ascends the daughter of Paroh from the city of David to the house he built for her: for he says, My woman settles not in the house of David sovereign of Yisra El because of the holies where the ark of Yah Veh has come. Then Shelomoh holocausts holocausts to Yah Veh on the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh which he built at the face of the porch; even after a day by day word; holocausting according to the misvah of Mosheh; on the shabbaths and on the new moons and on the seasons, three times in the year, even in the celebration of matsah and in the celebration of weeks and in the celebration of sukkoth/brush arbors. And according to the judgment of David his father; he stands the allotments of the priests to their service; and the Leviym to their guards; to halal and minister in front of the priests as the day by day word: and the porters by their allotments, portal by portal: for thus is the misvah of David the man of Elohim.

Now all the work of Solomon Shelomoh was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and until it was finished. So the house of the L ORD Yah Veh was perfected at shalom. Then went Solomon Shelomoh to Eziongeber Esyon Geber, and to Eloth, at the sea side lip in the land of Edom. And Huram Hiram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of knew the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon Shelomoh to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents rounds of gold, and brought them to king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh. THE SOVEREIGNESS OF SHEBA And when the queen sovereigness of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon Shelomoh, she came to prove Solomon test Shelomoh with hard questions riddles at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, with a very great company mighty heavy valuables, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon Shelomoh, she communed worded with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon Shelomoh told her all her questions words: and there was nothing hid no word concealed from Solomon Shelomoh which he told her not. And when the queen sovereigness of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon Shelomoh, and the house that he had built, And the meat food of his table, and the sitting seat of his servants, and the attendance function of his ministers and their apparel robes; his cupbearers butlers also, and their apparel robes; and his ascent holocausts by which he went up holocausted into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh; there was no more spirit in her. And she said to the king sovereign, It was a true report word which I heard in mine own land of thine acts thy words, and of thy wisdom: Howbeit I believed trusted not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness increase of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame addest to the report that I heard. Happy Blithe are thy men, and happy blithe are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee at thy face, and hear thy wisdom. Blessed be the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, which delighted in thee to set give thee on his throne, to be king sovereign for the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim: because thy God Elohim loved Israel Yisra El, to establish stand them for ever eternally, therefore made gave he thee king sovereign over them, to do work judgment and justice justness. And she gave the king sovereign an hundred and twenty talents rounds of gold, and of spices great mighty abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen sovereigness of Sheba gave king Solomon sovereign Shelomoh. And the servants also of Huram Hiram, and the servants of Solomon Shelomoh, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum algumim trees and precious stones.

And they turn not aside from the misvah of the sovereign regarding the priests and Leviym concerning any word, or the treasures: and they prepare all the work of Shelomoh to the day of the foundation of the house of Yah Veh and until it is finished: the house of Yah Veh is at shalom. Then Shelomoh goes to Esyon Geber and to Eloth, at the lip of the sea in the land of Edom: and by the hands of his servants Hiram sends him ships and servants who know the sea; and they go with the servants of Shelomoh to Ophir; and there they take four hundred and fifty rounds of gold and bring them to sovereign Shelomoh. THE SOVEREIGNESS OF SHEBA And the sovereigness of Sheba hears of the fame of Shelomoh, and she comes to Yeru Shalem to test Shelomoh with riddles: and with mighty heavy valuables and camels bearing spices and gold in abundance and precious stones: and she comes to Shelomoh and she words with him of all that is in her heart.

And Shelomoh tells her all her words: and Shelomoh conceals no word which he tells her not.

And the sovereigness of Sheba sees the wisdom of Shelomoh: and the house he built and the food of his table; and the seat of his servants and the function of his ministers and their robes; and his butlers and their robes; and the holocausts he holocausts in the house of Yah Veh; and there is no more spirit in her.

And she says to the sovereign, True is the word I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom: and I trust not their words until I come and my eyes see: and behold, the one half of the increase of your wisdom is not told me: for you add to the report I heard. Blithed — your men and blithed — these your servants who stand continually at your face and hear your wisdom. Blessed — Yah Veh your Elohim, who delights in you to give you on his throne — sovereign for Yah Veh your Elohim: because your Elohim loves Yisra El that they stand eternally: so he gives you sovereign over them, to work judgment and justness.

And she gives the sovereign a hundred and twenty rounds of gold and of spices mighty abundance and precious stones: there is no such spice as the sovereigness of Sheba gives sovereign Shelomoh.

and Sorah and Ayalon and Hebron in Yah Hudah and in Ben Yamin — rampart cities: and he strengthens the ramparts and gives eminence in them and treasure of food and of oil and wine: and city by city, shields and javelins; and strengthens them aboundingly mighty; and he has Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin. And the priests and the Leviym in all Yisra El stand by him from every border: for the Leviym left their suburbs and their possession and come to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: because Yarob Am and his sons abandoned them from priesting to Yah Veh. And he stands priests for the bamahs and for the bucks and for the calves he works: and after them, from all the scions of Yisra El, such as give their hearts to seek Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, come to Yeru Shalem to sacrifice to Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers.

And they strengthen the sovereigndom of Yah Hudah and strengthen Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: for three years they walk in the way of David and Shelomoh.

And Rechab Am takes Machalath the daughter of Yerimoth the son of David to woman; and Abi Hail the daughter of Eli Ab the son of Yishay; who birth him sons: Yeush and Shemar Yah and Zaham.

19 20

And after her he takes Maachah the daughter of Abi Shalom; who births him Abi Yah and Attay and Ziza and Shelomith.

And Rechab Am loves Maachah the daughter of Abi Shalom above all his women and his concubines: — for he has eighteen women and sixty concubines; and births twenty—eight sons and sixty daughters.

And Rechab Am stands Abi Yah the son of Maachah the head — eminent among his brothers: to have him reign: and he discerns and separates all his sons throughout all the lands of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin — to every rampart city: and he gives them food in abundance: and he asks a multitude of women.

RECHAB AM FORSAKES THE TORAH And so be it, Rechab Am establishes the sovereigndom and strengthens himself, and he forsakes the torah of Yah Veh and all Yisra El with him.

SOVEREIGN OF MISRAYIM ASCENDS AGAINST YERU SHALEM And so be it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am Shishak king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim came up ascended against Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, because they had transgressed treasoned against the L ORD Yah Veh, With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore sixty thousand horsemen cavalry: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt Misrayim; the Lubims Lubiym, the Sukkiims Sukkiym, and the Ethiopians Kushiym. And he took captured the fenced rampart cities which pertained be to Judah Yah Hudah, and came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. Then came Shemaiah Shema Yah the prophet to Rehoboam Rechab Am, and to the princes governors of Judah Yah Hudah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem because from the face of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. Whereupon the princes governors of Israel Yisra El and the king sovereign humbled themselves; and they said, The L ORD is righteous Yah Veh is just. And when the L ORD Yah Veh saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the L ORD Yah Veh came to Shemaiah Shema Yah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will shall not destroy ruin them, but I will grant shall give them some deliverance a little escape; and my wrath fury shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem Yeru Shalem by the hand of Shishak. Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms sovereigndoms of the countries lands. So Shishak king sovereign of Egypt Misrayim came up ascended against Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and the treasures of the king's sovereign's house; he took all: he carried took away also the shields bucklers of gold which Solomon Shelomoh had made worked. Instead of which king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am made shields worked bucklers of brass copper, and committed oversaw them to the hands of the chief governor of the guard runners, that kept guarded the entrance portal of the king's sovereign's house. And when the king sovereign entered into the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, the guard runners came and fetched lifted them, and brought returned them again into the guard runners chamber. And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the L ORD Yah Veh turned from him, that he would should not destroy ruin him altogether fully: and also in Judah things Yah Hudah all went well good. So king Rehoboam sovereign Rechab Am strengthened himself in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam Rechab Am was a son of one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, the city which the L ORD Yah Veh had chosen out of all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El, to put set his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess Ammoniyth. And he did worked evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the L ORD Yah Veh.

SOVEREIGN OF MISRAYIM ASCENDS AGAINST YERU SHALEM 2

And so be it, in the fifth year of sovereign Rechab Am, Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem — because they treasoned against Yah Veh with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand cavalry: and people without number come with him from Misrayim — the Lubiym, the Sukkiym and the Kushiym: and he captures the rampart cities of Yah Hudah and comes to Yeru Shalem.

And Shema Yah the prophet comes to Rechab Am and to the governors of Yah Hudah who gather to Yeru Shalem from the face of Shishak; and says to them, Thus says Yah Veh: You forsook me; and I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

And the governors of Yisra El and the sovereign humble themselves; and they say, Yah Veh is just.

And Yah Veh sees them humble themselves, and the word of Yah Veh comes to Shema Yah, saying, They humble themselves; I ruin them not, but I give them a little escape; and not pour my fury on Yeru Shalem by the hand of Shishak: but they become his servants; so that they know my service and the service of the sovereigndoms of the lands.

And Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem and takes away the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign — he takes all: and he takes the bucklers of gold Shelomoh worked: and in their stead sovereign Rechab Am works bucklers of copper and gives their oversight to the hands of the governor of the runners who guard the portal of the house of the sovereign.

And the sovereign enters the house of Yah Veh, and the runners come and lift them and return them to the runners chamber.

And he humbles himself, the wrath of Yah Veh turns from him, to not ruin him fully: and also in Yah Hudah all goes good.

And sovereign Rechab Am strengthens himself in Yeru Shalem and reigns: for Rechab Am is a son of forty—one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns seventeen years in Yeru Shalem — the city Yah Veh chose from all the scions of Yisra El to set his name there.

And the name of his mother, Naamah — an Ammoniyth: and he works evil, because he prepares not his heart to seek Yah Veh.

Now the acts words of Rehoboam Rechab Am, first and last, are they not written inscribed in the book words of Shemaiah Shema Yah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies genealogized? And there were wars between Rehoboam of Rechab Am and Jeroboam continually Yarob Am all days. And Rehoboam slept Rechab Am laid with his fathers, and was buried entombed in the city of David: and Abijah Abi Yah his son reigned in his stead. ABI YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam sovereign Yarob Am began Abijah Abi Yah to reign over Judah Yah Hudah. He reigned three years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah Michah Yah the daughter of Uriel Uri El of Gibeah Gibah. And there was war between Abijah Abi Yah and Jeroboam Yarob Am. And Abijah Abi Yah set the battle in array lined up for war with an army of valiant men of war mighty of valour, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam Yarob Am also set the battle in array lined up in war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. And Abijah stood up Abi Yah arose upon mount Zemaraim Semarayim, which is in mount Ephraim Ephrayim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam Yarob Am, and all Israel Yisra El; Ought ye not to know that the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El gave the kingdom sovereigndom over Israel Yisra El to David for ever eternally, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? Yet Jeroboam Yarob Am the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon Shelomoh the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord adoni. And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children sons of Belial Beli Yaal, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam Rechab Am the son of Solomon Shelomoh, when Rehoboam Rechab Am was young and tenderhearted a lad of tender heart, and could not withstand them strengthen himself at their face.

But as for us, the L ORD Yah Veh is our God Elohim, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the L ORD Yah Veh, are the sons of Aaron Aharon, and the Levites wait upon their business Leviym in the work: And they burn incense unto the L ORD Yah Veh every morning by morning and every evening by evening burnt sacrifices holocausts and sweet incense of aromatics: the shewbread arrangement bread also set they in order upon the pure table;

ABI YAH REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH In the eighteenth year of sovereign Yarob Am Abi Yah begins to reign over Yah Hudah: he reigns three years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Michah Yah the daughter of Uri El of Gibah. And so be it, war between Abi Yah and between Yarob Am: and Abi Yah lines up for war with an army of mighty of valour — four hundred thousand chosen men: and Yarob Am lines up in war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men mighty of valour. And Abi Yah rises on mount Semarayim, in mount Ephrayim, and says, Hear me, you Yarob Am and all Yisra El; Ought you not to know that Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El gives the sovereigndom over Yisra El to David eternally? — to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? And Yarob Am the son of Nebat, the servant of Shelomoh the son of David, rises and rebels against his adoni!

And vain men, the sons of Beli Yaal gather to him and strengthen themselves against Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: and Rechab Am is a lad of tender heart and cannot strengthen himself at their face.

And now you say to strengthen yourselves at the face of the sovereigndom of Yah Veh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude; and golden calves with you which Yarob Am worked you for elohim.

Expelled you not the priests of Yah Veh — the sons of Aharon and the Leviym? And worked priests after the manner of the nations of lands? So that whoever comes to fill his hand with a steer the son of an ox and seven rams, becomes a priest of a non—elohim.

As for us, Yah Veh is our Elohim and we forsake him not; and the priests, who minister to Yah Veh, are the sons of Aharon and the Leviym in the work: and they incense to Yah Veh morning by morning and evening by evening holocausts and incense of aromatics; the arrangement bread on the pure table;

and the candlestick menorah of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening by evening: for we keep guard the charge guard of the L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim; but ye have forsaken him. And, behold, God Elohim himself is with us for our captain head, and his priests with sounding blasting trumpets to cry alarm blast against you. O children sons of Israel Yisra El, fight ye not against the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. But Jeroboam Yarob Am caused an ambushment to come about lurked around behind them: so they were before Judah at the face of Yah Hudah, and the ambushment was they lurked behind them. And when Judah Yah Hudah looked turned to face back, behold, the battle war was before at their face and behind: and they cried unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and the priests sounded with trumpeted the trumpets. Then the men of Judah Yah Hudiy gave a shout: and as the men of Judah Yah Hudiy shouted, so be it came to pass, that God Elohim smote Jeroboam Yarob Am and all Israel Yisra El before Abijah at the face of Abi Yah and Judah Yah Hudah. And the children sons of Israel Yisra El fled before Judah from the face of Yah Hudah: and God delivered Elohim gave them into their hand. And Abijah Abi Yah and his people slew smote them with a great slaughter stroke: so there fell down slain pierced of Israel Yisra El five hundred thousand chosen men. Thus the children sons of Israel Yisra El were brought under subdued at that time, and the children sons of Judah Yah Hudah prevailed strengthened, because they relied leaned upon the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. And Abijah Abi Yah pursued after Jeroboam Yarob Am, and took captured cities from him, Bethel Beth El with the towns daughters thereof, and Jeshanah Yeshanah with the towns daughters thereof, and Ephrain with the towns daughters thereof. Neither did Jeroboam Yarob Am recover strength again retain force in the days of Abijah Abi Yah: and the L ORD struck Yah Veh smote him, and he died. But Abijah waxed mighty Abi Yah strengthened, and married bore him fourteen wives women, and begat birthed twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. And the rest of the acts words of Abijah Abi Yah, and his ways, and his sayings words, are written inscribed in the story commentary of the prophet Iddo. THE DEATH OF ABI YAH So Abijah slept Abi Yah laid with his fathers, and they buried entombed him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet rested ten years. ASA REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH And Asa did worked that which was good and right straight in the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim: For he took away turned aside the sacrifice altars of the strange gods, and the high places bamahs, and brake down the images monoliths, and cut down the groves asherim: And commanded Judah said to Yah Hudah to seek the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, and to do work the law torah and the commandment misvah.

and the menorah of gold with the lamps thereof to burn evening by evening: for we guard the guard of Yah Veh our Elohim; but you — you forsook him. 12

And behold, with us — Elohim for head and his priests with blasting trumpets to blast against you. O sons of Yisra El, fight not against Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; for you prosper not.

And Yarob Am lurks around behind them: so they are at the face of Yah Hudah and they lurk behind them: and Yah Hudah turns to face back, and behold, the war is at their face and behind: and they cry to Yah Veh and the priests trumpet the trumpets: and the Yah Hudiy give a shout: and the Yah Hudiy shout, and so be it, Elohim smites Yarob Am and all Yisra El at the face of Abi Yah and Yah Hudah: and the sons of Yisra El flee the face of Yah Hudah: and Elohim gives them into their hand; and Abi Yah and his people smite them with a great stroke: so there fall down, pierced of Yisra El, five hundred thousand chosen men. And at that time, they subdue sons of Yisra El, and the sons of Yah Hudah strengthen, because they lean on Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers.

And Abi Yah pursues Yarob Am and captures cities from him: Beth El with the daughters thereof and Yeshanah with the daughters thereof and Ephrain with the daughters thereof. Yarob Am retains no force in the days of Abi Yah: and Yah Veh smites him and he dies.

And Abi Yah strengthens and has fourteen women and births twenty—two sons and sixteen daughters.

Also he took away turned aside out of all the cities of Judah Yah Hudah the high places bamahs and the images sun icons: and the kingdom sovereigndom was quiet before him rested at his face. And he built fenced rampart cities in Judah Yah Hudah: for the land had rest rested, and he had no war in those years; because the L ORD Yah Veh had given him rest rested him. Therefore And he said unto Judah Yah Hudah, Let us build these cities, and make about surround them with walls, and towers, gates doors, and bars, while the land is yet before us at our face; because we have sought the L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side rested us all around. So they built and prospered. And Asa had an army of men mighty of valour that bare targets shields and spears javelins, out of Judah Yah Hudah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin Ben Yamin, that bare shields bucklers and drew arched bows, two hundred and fourscore eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valour. And there came out went against them Zerah Zerach the Ethiopian Kushiy with an host of a thousand thousand of valour, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. Then Asa went out against him at his face, and they set the battle in array lined up for war in the valley of Zephathah Sephathah at Mareshah. And Asa cried called unto the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim, and said, L ORD Yah Veh, it is nothing naught with thee to help, whether with between many, or with them that have no power force: help us, O L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim; for we rest lean on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O L ORD Yah Veh, thou art our God Elohim; let no mortal man prevail restrain against thee. So the L ORD Yah Veh smote the Ethiopians Kushiy before at the face of Asa, and before Judah at the face of Yah Hudah; and the Ethiopians Kushiy fled. And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians Kushiy were overthrown felled, that they could not recover themselves had no invigoration; for they were destroyed broken before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, and before at the face of his host camp; and they carried bore away very much spoil a mighty abundance of plunder. And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD Yah Veh came upon them: and they spoiled plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. They smote also the tents of cattle chattel, and carried away captured sheep flocks and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. AZAR YAH AT THE FACE OF ASA And the Spirit of God Elohim came upon Azariah Azar Yah the son of Oded: And he went out to meet at the face of Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin; The L ORD Yah Veh is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will shall be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will shall forsake you. Now for a long season many days Israel Yisra El hath been without the true God Elohim,

and he turns aside the bamahs and the sun icons from all the cities of Yah Hudah; and the sovereigndom rests at his face: and he builds rampart cities in Yah Hudah: for the land rests and he has no war in those years; because Yah Veh rests him.

And he says to Yah Hudah, We build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars while the land is still at our face; because we seek Yah Veh our Elohim: we seek him and he rests us all around. — and they build and prosper.

And Asa, has from Yah Hudah, mighty of valour who bear shields and javelins three hundred thousand; and from Ben Yamin, who bear bucklers and arched bows two hundred and eighty thousand. — all these mighty of valour.

And Zerach the Kushiy goes against them with a thousand thousand of valour and three hundred chariots and comes to Mareshah; and Asa goes at his face and they line up for war in the valley of Sephathah at Mareshah.

And Asa calls to Yah Veh his Elohim and says, Yah Veh, it is naught with you to help — between many, or them who have no force: help us, O Yah Veh our Elohim; for we lean on you; and in your name we go against this multitude. O Yah Veh, you are our Elohim; may mortal man not restrain against you.

And Yah Veh smites the Kushiy at the face of Asa and at the face of Yah Hudah; and the Kushiy flee: and Asa and the people with him pursue them to Gerar: and the Kushiy are felled, for they have no invigoration; for they break at the face of Yah Veh and at the face of his camp; and they bear away a mighty abundance of plunder: and they smite all the cities all around Gerar; for the fear of Yah Veh comes on them: and they plunder all the cities; for there is exceeding much spoil in them: and they smite the tents of chattel and capture flocks and camels in abundance and return to Yeru Shalem.

AZAR YAH AT THE FACE OF ASA And the Spirit of Elohim comes on Azar Yah the son of Oded: and he goes out at the face of Asa and says to him, Hear me, Asa and all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin; Yah Veh is with you, in your being with him; and if you seek him, he is found of you; but if you forsake him, he forsakes you.

and without a teaching priest, and without law torah. But when they in their trouble tribulation did turn unto the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, and sought him, he was found of them. And in those times there was no peace shalom to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were confusion upon all the inhabitants settlers of the countries lands. And nation was destroyed of nation goyim crushed goyim, and city of city: for God did vex Elohim agitated them with all adversity tribulation. Be ye strong therefore Strengthen, and let not your hands be weak slacken: for your work hire shall be rewarded to your deed. THE REFORM OF ASA And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage strengthened, and put passed away the abominable idols abominations out of all the land of Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin, and out of the cities which he had taken captured from mount Ephraim Ephrayim, and renewed the sacrifice altar of the L ORD Yah Veh, that was before at the face of the porch of the L ORD Yah Veh. And he gathered all Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin, and the strangers sojourners with them out of Ephraim Ephrayim and Manasseh Menash Sheh, and out of Simeon Shimon: for they fell to him out of Israel Yisra El in abundance, when they saw that the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim was with him. So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign sovereigndom of Asa. And they offered sacrificed unto the L ORD Yah Veh the same time day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep flocks. And they entered into a covenant to seek the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; That whosoever would should not seek the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El should be put to death deathified, whether from small or great, whether from man or woman. And they sware oathed unto the L ORD Yah Veh with a loud great voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets shophars. And all Judah rejoiced Yah Hudah cheered at the oath: for they had sworn oathed with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire pleasure; and he was found of them: and the L ORD gave Yah Veh rested them rest round about. And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king sovereign, he removed turned her aside from being queen lady, because she had made worked an idol of awe in a grove an asherah: and Asa cut down her idol of awe, and stamped pulverized it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron wadi Qidron. But the high places bamahs were not taken away turned aside out of Israel Yisra El: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect at shalom all his days. And he brought into the house of God Elohim the things that holies of his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated holies of his own, silver, and gold, and vessels instruments. And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign sovereigndom of Asa.

and without a teaching priest and without torah: and in their tribulation they turn to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El and seek him, and find him: and in those times shalom is neither to him who goes out nor to him who comes in; but great confusion on all the settlers of the lands: and crush — goyim by goyim and city by city: for Elohim agitates them with all tribulation. Strengthen! Slacken not your hands! As your hire, thus your deed. THE REFORM OF ASA And Asa hears these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet; and he strengthens and passes the abominations from all the land of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and from the cities he captured from mount Ephrayim; and renews the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh at the face of the porch of Yah Veh: and he gathers all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and the sojourners with them from Ephrayim and Menash Sheh and from Shimon — for they fall to him from Yisra El in abundance, when they see Yah Veh his Elohim is with him. And they gather at Yeru Shalem in the third month in the fifteenth year of the sovereigndom of Asa: and the same day, they sacrifice to Yah Veh of the spoil they bring — seven hundred oxen and seven thousand flocks: and they enter a covenant to seek Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; and deathify whoever seeks not Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El — from small or great — from man or woman: and they oath to Yah Veh with a great voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with shophars.

And all Yah Hudah cheers at the oath: for they oath with all their heart and seek him with their whole pleasure; and they find him: and Yah Veh rests them all around.

And also Maachah turns aside the mother of Asa the sovereign from being lady; because she works an idol of awe in an asherah: and Asa cuts down her idol of awe and pulverizes and burns it at the wadi Qidron: yet the bamahs are not turned aside from Yisra El: only, the heart of Asa is at shalom all his days: and into the house of Elohim he brings the holies of his father and the holies of his own — silver and gold and instruments: and there is no war to the thirty—fifth year of the sovereigndom of Asa.

THE SOVEREIGN OF YISRA EL COMES AGAINST YAH HUDAH In the six and thirtieth year of the reign sovereigndom of Asa, Baasha king Basha sovereign of Israel Yisra El came up ascended against Judah Yah Hudah, and built Ramah, to the intent until that he might let give that none go out or come in to Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah. Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh and of the king's sovereign's house, and sent to Benhadad Ben Hadad, king sovereign of Syria Aram, that dwelt settled at Damascus Dammeseq, saying, There is a league covenant between me and between thee, as there was between my father and between thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league covenant with Baasha king Basha sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that he may depart ascend from me. And Benhadad Ben Hadad hearkened unto king sovereign Asa, and sent the captains governors of his armies valiant against the cities of Israel Yisra El; and they smote Ijon Iyon, and Dan, and Abelmaim Abel Maim, and all the store storage cities of Naphtali. And so be it came to pass, when Baasha Basha heard it, that he left off ceased building of Ramah, and let ceased his work cease. Then Asa the king sovereign took all Judah Yah Hudah; and they carried lifted away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha Basha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah Mispeh. And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied leaned on the king sovereign of Syria Aram, and not relied leaned on the L ORD Yah Veh thy God Elohim, therefore is the host valiant of the king sovereign of Syria Aram escaped out of thine hand. Were not the Ethiopians Kushiy and the Lubims Lubiy a huge host an abundance of valiant, with very many a mighty abundance of chariots and horsemen cavalry? yet, because thou didst rely lean on the L ORD Yah Veh, he delivered gave them into thine hand. For the eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh run to and fro flit throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong strengthened in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect at shalom toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly follied: therefore from henceforth this time thou shalt have wars. Then Asa was wroth vexed with the seer, and put gave him in a prison stock house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed crushed some of the people the same time. And, behold, the acts words of Asa, first and last, lo behold, they are written inscribed in the book scroll of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah and Israel Yisra El. THE DEATH OF ASA And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign sovereigndom was diseased sickens in his feet, until his disease sickness was exceeding great severe: yet in his disease sickness he sought not to the L ORD Yah Veh, but to the physicians healers. And Asa slept laid with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

THE SOVEREIGN OF YISRA EL COMES AGAINST YAH HUDAH In the thirty—sixth year of the sovereigndom of Asa, Basha sovereign of Yisra El ascends against Yah Hudah and builds Ramah, so as not to give anyone to go or come to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah. And Asa brings silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and of the house of the sovereign and sends to Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram who settles at Dammeseq, saying, There is a covenant between me and between you, as between my father and between your father: behold, I send you silver and gold; go break your covenant with Basha sovereign of Yisra El so that he ascends from me. And Ben Hadad hearkens to sovereign Asa and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and they smite Iyon and Dan and Abel Maim and all the storage cities of Naphtali. And so be it, Basha hears, and he ceases building of Ramah and ceases his work.

And Asa the sovereign takes all Yah Hudah; and they lift the stones of Ramah and the timber that Basha builds; and with them he builds Geba and Mispeh.

And at that time, Hanani the seer comes to Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and says to him, Because you lean on the sovereign of Aram and lean not on Yah Veh your Elohim, so the valiant of the sovereign of Aram escapes from your hand. Were not the Kushiy and the Lubiy an abundance of valiant, with a mighty abundance of chariots and cavalry? Yet, because you leaned on Yah Veh he gave them into your hand. As for Yah Veh, — his eyes flit throughout the whole earth, strengthened in behalf of them whose heart is at shalom toward him. Herein you folly: from this time on you have wars.

And Asa is vexed with the seer and gives him in a stock house; because of his rage because of this: and at that time, Asa crushes some of the people.

And behold, the words of Asa, first and last, behold, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah and Yisra El?

THE DEATH OF ASA And in the thirty—ninth year of his sovereigndom Asa sickens in his feet until his sickness is severe: yet in his sickness he seeks not Yah Veh, but the healers. And Asa lies down with his fathers and dies in the forty—first year of his reign.

And the LORD Yah Veh was with Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; But sought to the L ORD God Elohim of his father, and walked in his commandments misvoth, and not after the doings works of Israel Yisra El. Therefore the L ORD Yah Veh stablished the kingdom sovereigndom in his hand; and all Judah Yah Hudah brought to Jehoshaphat presents gave Yah Shaphat offerings; and he had riches and honour in abundance. And his heart was lifted up exalted in the ways of the L ORD Yah Veh: moreover he took away turned aside the high places bamahs and groves asherim out of Judah Yah Hudah. Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes governors, even to Benhail Ben Hail, and to Obadiah Obad Yah, and to Zechariah Zechar Yah, and to Nethaneel Nethan El, and to Michaiah Michah Yah, to teach in the cities of Judah Yah Hudah.

And they taught in Judah Yah Hudah, and had the book scroll of the law torah of the L ORD Yah Veh with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah Yah Hudah, and taught the people. And the fear of the L ORD Yah Veh fell upon all the kingdoms sovereigndoms of the lands that were round about Judah Yah Hudah, so that they made no war fought not against Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat. Also some of the Philistines Peleshethiy brought Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat presents offerings, and tribute burden silver; and the Arabians Arabiy brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat waxed great exceedingly walked and greatened upward; and he built in Judah castles Yah Hudah palaces, and cities of store storage. And he had much business work in the cities of Judah Yah Hudah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And these are the numbers of them mustered according to the house of their fathers:

— entombed in his own tombs, which he dug for himself in the city of David; and lay him in a bed filled with spices — species by species of perfumed ointment: and they burn a mighty great burning for him. YAH SHAPHAT REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH And Yah Shaphat his son reigns in his stead and strengthens himself against Yisra El: and he gives the valiant in all the fortified cities of Yah Hudah; and gives stations in the land of Yah Hudah and in the cities of Ephrayim Asa his father captured. And Yah Veh is with Yah Shaphat, because he walks in the first ways of his father David and seeks not to Baalim; for he seeks to Elohim of his father; and walks in his misvoth and not after the works of Yisra El: and Yah Veh establishes the sovereigndom in his hand; and all Yah Hudah gives Yah Shaphat offerings; and he has riches and honor in abundance: and his heart exalts in the ways of Yah Veh: and again he turns aside the bamahs and asherim from Yah Hudah. And in the third year of his reign he sends to his governors — to Ben Hail and to Obad Yah and to Zechar Yah and to Nethan El and to Michah Yah to teach in the cities of Yah Hudah: and the Leviym with them — Shema Yah and Nethan Yah and Zebad Yah and Asa El and Shemi Ramoth and Yah Nathan and Adoni Yah and Tobi Yah and Tob Adoni Yah, the Leviym; and with them — Eli Shama and Yah Ram the priests: and they teach in Yah Hudah and have the scroll of the torah of Yah Veh with them; and go about throughout all the cities of Yah Hudah and teach the people. And the fear of Yah Veh falls on all the sovereigndoms of the lands all around Yah Hudah, so that they fight not against Yah Shaphat: and the Peleshethiy bring Yah Shaphat offerings and burden silver; and the Arabiy bring him flocks — seven thousand and seven hundred rams and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. And Yah Shaphat walks and greatens upward; and in Yah Hudah he builds palaces and cities of storage: and he has much work in the cities of Yah Hudah. And the men of war, mighty of valour, are in Yeru Shalem: and these are the mustered according to the house of their fathers:

And Ahab killed sheep Ach Ab sacrificed flocks and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded goaded him to go up ascend with him to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad. And Ahab Ach Ab king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, Wilt Shalt thou go with me to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad? And he answered said to him, I am as thou art As I, so thou, and my people as thy people as thy people, so my people; and we will shall even be with thee in the war.

And they said, Go up Ascend; for God will deliver Elohim shall give it into the king's sovereign's hand. But Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the L ORD Yah Veh besides, that we might enquire of him? And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the L ORD Yah Veh: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always all his days evil: the same is Micaiah Michah Yah the son of Imla Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat said, Let not the king sovereign say so. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El called for one of his officers eunuch, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah Hasten Michah Yah the son of Imla Yimlah.

YAH SHAPHAT I NTERMARRIES WITH ACH AB And Yah Shaphat has riches and honor in abundance; and intermarries with Ach Ab: and at the end of years, he descends to Ach Ab to Shomeron; and Ach Ab sacrifices flocks and oxen in abundance for himself and for the people with him. — and they goad him to ascend to Ramoth Gilad. And Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat sovereign of Yah Hudah, Come with me to Ramoth Gilad? And he says to him, As I, thus you! As your people, thus my people — even with you in the war.

And Yah Shaphat says to the sovereign of Yisra El, Enquire, I beseech you, this day, the word of Yah Veh.

And the sovereign of Yisra El gathers prophets — four hundred men and says to them, Go we to Ramoth Gilad to war? Or cease I? And they say, Ascend! For Elohim gives it into the hand of the sovereign.

sat either of them settled each man on his throne, clothed enrobed in their robes clothes, and they sat settled in a void place threshingfloor at the entering in opening of the gate portal of Samaria Shomeron; and all the prophets prophesied before them at their face. And Zedekiah Sidqi Yah the son of Chenaanah Kenaanah had made worked him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh, With these thou shalt push Syria butt Aram until they be consumed finished off. And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up Ascend to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad, and prosper: for the L ORD Yah Veh shall deliver give it into the hand of the king sovereign. And the messenger angel that went to call Micaiah Michah Yah spake worded to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare are good to the king sovereign with one assent mouth; let thy word therefore, I pray beseech thee, be like one of their's, and speak word thou good. And Micaiah Michah Yah said, As the L ORD Yah Veh liveth, even what my God Elohim saith, that will shall I speak word. And when he was come to the king sovereign, the king sovereign said unto him, Micaiah Michah Yah, shall we go to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad to battle war, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up Ascend, and prosper, and they shall be delivered given into your hand. And the king sovereign said to him, How many times shall I adjure oath thee that thou say nothing word naught but the truth to me in the name of the L ORD Yah Veh? Then he said, I did see all Israel Yisra El scattered upon the mountains, as sheep flocks that have no shepherd tender: and the L ORD Yah Veh said, These have no master adoni; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace shalom. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said to Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, Did I not tell say to thee that he would should not prophesy good unto me, but evil? Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the L ORD Yah Veh; I saw the L ORD sitting Yah Veh seated upon his throne, and all the host of heaven the heavens standing on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD Yah Veh said, Who shall entice Ahab Ach Ab, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, that he may go up ascend and fall at Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad? And one spake said, saying after this manner thus, and another saying after that manner thus. Then there came out went a spirit, and stood before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, and said, I will shall entice him. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will shall go out, and be a lying false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD he said, Thou shalt entice him, Entice! and thou shalt also prevail: Prevail! go out, Go! and do even so. Work! Now therefore, behold, the L ORD Yah Veh hath put given a lying false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the L ORD Yah Veh hath spoken worded evil against thee. Then Zedekiah Sidqi Yah the son of Chenaanah Kenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah Michah Yah upon the cheek, and said,

— each man settles on his throne enrobed in their clothes: and they settle in a threshingfloor at the opening of the portal of Shomeron; and all the prophets prophesy at their face. 10

And Sidqi Yah the son of Kenaanah works him horns of iron, and says, Thus says Yah Veh, Butt Aram with these until they are finished off.

And all the prophets prophesy thus, saying, Ascend to Ramoth Gilad and prosper: for Yah Veh gives it into the hand of the sovereign.

And the angel who goes to call Michah Yah words to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets are good to the sovereign with one mouth; and so be your word, I beseech you, as one of theirs and word you good.

And Michah Yah says, Yah Veh lives; even what my Elohim says, I word.

And he comes to the sovereign, and the sovereign says to him, Michah Yah, go we to Ramoth Gilad to war? Or forbear I? And he says, Ascend and prosper: and they are given into your hand.

And the sovereign says to him, How many times oath I you that you word naught but the truth to me in the name of Yah Veh?

Then he says, I see all Yisra El scatter on the mountains as flocks having no tender: and Yah Veh says, These have no adoni; return them — every man to his house in shalom.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, Said I not to you that he never prophesies to me good, but evil?

And he says, So hear the word of Yah Veh; I see Yah Veh seated on his throne and all the host of the heavens standing at his right and at his left: and Yah Veh says, Who entices Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El to ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilad? — and one says, saying thus: and another, saying thus.

Then a spirit goes and stands at the face of Yah Veh and says, I entice him! And Yah Veh says to him, With what?

And he says, I go out and become a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he says, Entice! Prevail! Go! Work!

And now, behold, Yah Veh gives a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yah Veh words evil against you.

Which way went passed the Spirit of the L ORD Yah Veh from me to speak word unto thee? And Micaiah Michah Yah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. Then the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said, Take ye Micaiah Michah Yah, and carry turn him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash Yah Ash, the king's sovereign's son; And say, Thus saith the king sovereign, Put Set this fellow in the prison house, and feed him with have him eat bread of affliction oppression and with water of affliction oppression, until I return in peace shalom. And Micaiah Michah Yah said, If in returning, thou certainly shalt return in peace shalom, then hath not the L ORD spoken Yah Veh worded by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. THE DEATH OF ACH AB So the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El and Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah went up ascended to Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad. And the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El said unto Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, I will shall disguise myself, and I will shall go to the battle war; but put thou on enrobe thy robes clothes. So the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El disguised himself; and they went to the battle war.

And so be it came to pass, when the captains governors of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, that they said, It is the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El. Therefore they compassed about surrounded him to fight: but Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat cried out, and the L ORD Yah Veh helped him; and God moved Elohim goaded them to depart from him. For so be it came to pass, that, when the captains governors of the chariots perceived saw that it was not the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, they turned back again from pursuing after him. And a certain man drew a bow at a venture in his integrity, and smote the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El between the joints of the harness habergeon: therefore he said to his chariot man charioteer, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry bring me out of the host camp; for I am wounded sickened. And the battle increased war ascended that day: howbeit the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians Aramiy until the even: and about the time of the sun going down descending he died. YAH SHAPHAT APPOINTS J UDGES And Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, the king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah returned to his house in peace shalom to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem.

Nevertheless there are good things words found in thee, in that thou hast taken burnt away the groves asherim out of the land,

Which way passes the Spirit of Yah Veh from me to word to you? 24

And Michah Yah says, Behold, you see for yourself the day you go into an inner chamber to hide.

And the sovereign of Yisra El says, Take Michah Yah and turn him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Yah Ash the son of the sovereign; and say, Thus says the sovereign: Set this in the prison house; and have him eat bread of oppression and water of oppression, until I return in shalom.

THE DEATH OF ACH AB And the sovereign of Yisra El and Yah Shaphat the sovereign of Yah Hudah ascend to Ramoth Gilad: and the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, I disguise myself and I go to the war; but you enrobe your clothes. — and the sovereign of Yisra El disguises himself; and they go to the war.

And the sovereign of Aram misvahs the governors of the chariots with him, saying, Fight not with small or great — except with the sovereign of Yisra El.

And so be it, when the governors of the chariots see Yah Shaphat, they say, The sovereign of Yisra El.

And they surround him to fight: and Yah Shaphat cries out and Yah Veh helps him; and Elohim goads them from him: yes, so be it, the governors of the chariots see it is not the sovereign of Yisra El, and they turn back again from after him: and in his integrity, a man draws a bow and smites the sovereign of Yisra El between the joints of the habergeon.

Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria Aram; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar Haseson Tamar, which is Engedi En Gedi. And Jehoshaphat feared Yah Shaphat awed, and set himself gave his face to seek the L ORD Yah Veh, and proclaimed called a fast throughout over all Judah Yah Hudah. And Judah Yah Hudah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the L ORD seek Yah Veh: even out of all the cities of Judah Yah Hudah they came to seek the L ORD Yah Veh.

And they dwelt settled therein, and have built thee a sanctuary holies therein for thy name, saying, If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before at the face of this house, and in at thy presence face, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction tribulation, then thou wilt shalt hear and help save. And now, behold, the children sons of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest shouldest not let Israel give Yisra El to invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt Misrayim, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed desolated them not; Behold, I say, how they reward deal us, to come to cast expel us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit possess.

And all Judah Yah Hudah stood before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh, with their little ones toddlers, their wives women, and their children sons. Then upon Jahaziel Yachazi El the son of Zechariah Zechar Yah, the son of Benaiah Bena Yah, the son of Jeiel Yei El, the son of Mattaniah Mattan Yah, a Levite Leviy of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the L ORD Yah Veh in the midst of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah Yah Hudah, and ye inhabitants settlers of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat sovereign Yah Shaphat, Thus saith the L ORD Yah Veh unto you, Be not afraid Awe not, nor dismayed terrify by reason at the face of this great multitude; for the battle war is not yours, but God's Elohim's. To morrow go descend ye down against them: behold, they come up ascend by the cliff ascent of Ziz Sis; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook wadi, before at the face of the wilderness of Jeruel Yeru El.

So the Edomites revolted Edomiy rebelled from under the hand of Judah Yah Hudah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt rebelled from under his hand; because he had forsaken the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers.

Moreover the L ORD Yah Veh stirred up wakened against Jehoram Yah Ram the spirit of the Philistines Peleshethiy, and of the Arabians Arabiy, that were near alongside by the hand of the Ethiopians Kushiy: And they came up ascended into Judah Yah Hudah, and brake into split it, and carried away captured all the substance acquisition that was found in the king's sovereign's house, and his sons also, and his wives women; so that there was never a no son left survived him, save Jehoahaz except Yah Achaz, the youngest of his sons. And after all this the L ORD Yah Veh smote him in his bowels inwards with an incurable disease a nonhealing sickness. And so be it came to pass, that in process of time day by day, after the end in the going of two years, his bowels fell out inwards went by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases evil sicknesses.

and to this day, the Edomiy rebel from under the hand of Yah Hudah. And at the same time, Libnah rebels from under his hand; because he forsook Yah Veh Elohim of his fathers: also, he works bamahs in the mountains of Yah Hudah and has the settlers of Yeru Shalem to whore and to drive/expel Yah Hudah. And there comes, inscribed to him, from Eli Yah the prophet, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of David your father, Because you walk neither in the ways of Yah Shaphat your father nor in the ways of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah; and walk in the way of the sovereigns of Yisra El and have Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem whore as the house of Ach Ab whored; and also slaughtered your brothers of the house of your father — who are better than you: behold, Yah Veh smites your people and your sons and your women and all your acquisitions with a great plague: and you have great sickness — disease of your inwards until your inwards go because of the sickness, day by day. And Yah Veh wakens, against Yah Ram, the spirit of the Peleshethiy and of the Arabiy, who are alongside by the hand of the Kushiy: and they ascend to Yah Hudah and split it and capture all the acquisitions they find in the house of the sovereign — and also his sons and his women; so that no son survives him except Yah Achaz, the youngest of his sons. And after all this, Yah Veh smites his inwards with a nonhealing sickness. And so be it, day by day, in the going of two years, his inwards go by reason of his sickness: and he dies of evil sicknesses: and his people work no burning for him, as the burning of his fathers: a son of thirty—two — and he begins to reign; and he reigns in Yeru Shalem eight years and goes without desire; — entombed in the city of David but not in the tombs of the sovereigns.

Wherefore he did worked evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh like the house of Ahab Ach Ab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction ruin. He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram Yah Ram the son of Ahab Ach Ab, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El to war against Hazael Haza El king sovereign of Syria Aram at Ramothgilead Ramoth Gilad: and the Syrians Aramiy smote Joram Yah Ram. And he returned to be healed in Jezreel Yizre El because of the wounds strokes which were given they smote him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael Haza El, king sovereign of Syria Aram. And Azariah Azar Yah the son of Jehoram Yah Ram, king sovereign of Judah went down Yah Hudah descended to see Jehoram Yah Ram the son of Ahab Ach Ab at Jezreel Yizre El, because he was sick. And the destruction trampling of Ahaziah Achaz Yah was of God Elohim by coming to Joram Yah Ram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram Yah Ram against Jehu Yah Hu the son of Nimshi, whom the L ORD Yah Veh had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab Ach Ab. And so be it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment Yah Hu judged upon the house of Ahab Ach Ab, and found the princes governors of Judah Yah Hudah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah Achaz Yah, that ministered to Ahaziah Achaz Yah, he slew slaughtered them. And he sought Ahaziah Achaz Yah: and they caught captured him, (for he was hid in Samaria Shomeron,) and brought him to Jehu Yah Hu: and when they had slain deathified him, they buried entombed him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat Yah Shaphat, who sought the L ORD Yah Veh with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah Achaz Yah had no power force to keep still retain the kingdom sovereigndom. But when Athaliah Athal Yah the mother of Ahaziah Achaz Yah saw that her son was dead had died, she arose and destroyed worded to all the seed royal sovereigndom seed of the house of Judah Yah Hudah.

He also walks in the ways of the house of Ach Ab: for his mother is his counsellor to do wickedly: and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh as the house of Ach Ab: for they are his counsellors after the death of his father — to his ruin: he also walks after their counsel and goes with Yah Ram the son of Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El to war against Haza El sovereign of Aram at Ramoth Gilad: and the Aramiy smite Yah Ram; and he returns to heal in Yizre El because of the strokes they smote him at Ramah when he fought Haza El sovereign of Aram. And Azar Yah the son of Yah Ram sovereign of Yah Hudah descends to see Yah Ram the son of Ach Ab at Yizre El because he is sick: and the trampling of Achaz Yah is of Elohim for coming to Yah Ram: for when he comes, he goes with Yah Ram against Yah Hu the son of Nimshi — whom Yah Veh anointed to cut off the house of Ach Ab. And so be it, Yah Hu judges the house of Ach Ab: and he finds the governors of Yah Hudah and the sons of the brothers of Achaz Yah who minister to Achaz Yah; and slaughters them: and he seeks Achaz Yah: and they capture him — he hides in Shomeron and brings him to Yah Hu: and they deathify him and entomb him — because, say they, he is the son of Yah Shaphat, who sought Yah Veh with all his heart: and the house of Achaz Yah has no force to retain the sovereigndom.

And the Levites Leviym shall compass surround the king sovereign round about, every man with his weapons instruments in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death deathified: but be ye with the king sovereign when he cometh in, and when he goeth out. So the Levites Leviym and all Judah Yah Hudah did worked according to all things that Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest had commanded misvahed, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath shabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath shabbath: for Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest dismissed liberated not the courses allotments.

And he took the captains governors of hundreds, and the nobles mighty, and the governors sovereigns of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down descended the king sovereign from the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: and they came through the high gate Elyon Portal into the king's sovereign's house, and set settled the king sovereign upon the throne of the kingdom sovereigndom. And all the people of the land rejoiced cheered: and the city was quiet rested, after that they had slain Athaliah deathified Athal Yah with the sword. YAH ASH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Joash Yah Ash was a son of seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah Zib Yah of Beersheba Beer Sheba. And Joash Yah Ash did worked that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh all the days of Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest. And Jehoiada Yah Yada took for him two wives women; and he begat birthed sons and daughters. YAH ASH RENEWS THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH And so be it came to pass, after this, that Joash was minded it was in the heart of Yah Ash to repair renew the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And he gathered together the priests and the Levites Leviym, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah Yah Hudah, and gather of all Israel Yisra El money silver to repair strengthen the house of your God Elohim from enough year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter word. Howbeit the Levites Leviym hastened it not. And the king sovereign called for Jehoiada Yah Yada the chief head, and said unto him,

who oversee the valiant, and says to them, Bring her from the house of the ranks: and whosever goes after her, deathify her with the sword — for the priest says, Deathify her not in the house of Yah Veh. 15

So they set hands on her; and she comes to the entrance of the horse portal by the house of the sovereign, and there they deathify her.

And Yah Yada cuts a covenant between him and between all the people and between the sovereign, to be a people to Yah Veh: and all the people go to the house of Baal and pull it down and break his sacrifice altars and his images in pieces and slaughter Mattan the priest of Baal at the face of the sacrifice altars: and Yah Yada sets the overseers of the house of Yah Veh at the hand of the priests — the Leviym David allotted in the house of Yah Veh to holocaust the holocausts of Yah Veh, as inscribed in the torah of Mosheh; with cheer and with singing, by the hand of David: and he stands the porters at the portals of the house of Yah Veh, so that no one who is foul in any word enters in.

And he takes the governors of hundreds and the mighty and the sovereigns of the people and all the people of the land; and descends the sovereign from the house of Yah Veh: and they come through Elyon Portal into the house of the sovereign; and settle the sovereign on the throne of the sovereigndom.

And all the people of the land cheer and the city rests; and they deathify Athal Yah with the sword.

Why hast thou not required of the Levites Leviym to bring in out of Judah Yah Hudah and out of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem the collection burden, according to the commandment of Moses Mosheh the servant of the LORD Yah Veh, and of the congregation of Israel Yisra El, for the tabernacle tent of witness? For the sons of Athaliah Athal Yah, that wicked woman, had broken up breached the house of God Elohim; and also all the dedicated things holies of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh did they bestow work upon Baalim. And at the king's commandment sovereign's saying they made a chest worked one ark, and set gave it without at the gate portal of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And they made a proclamation gave voice through Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to bring in to the L ORD Yah Veh the collection burden that Moses Mosheh the servant of God Elohim laid upon Israel Yisra El in the wilderness. And all the princes governors and all the people rejoiced cheered, and brought in, and cast into the chest ark, until they had made an end finished. Now so be it came to pass, that at what time the chest ark was brought unto the king's office sovereign's oversight by the hand of the Levites Leviym, and when they saw that there was much money silver, the king's sovereign's scribe and the high head priest's officer overseer came and emptied the chest ark, and took lifted it, and carried returned it to his place again. Thus they did worked day by day, and gathered money silver in abundance. And the king sovereign and Jehoiada Yah Yada gave it to such as did worked the work of the service of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and hired masons hewers and carpenters artificers to repair renew the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and also such as wrought artificers of iron and brass copper to mend strengthen the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. So the workmen wrought workers worked, and the work was perfected by them and healing ascended upon the work of their hand, and they set stood the house of God Elohim in his state quantity, and strengthened it. And when they had finished it, they brought the rest remainder of the money silver before at the face of the king sovereign and Jehoiada Yah Yada, whereof were made vessels worked instruments for the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, even vessels to minister instruments of ministry, and to offer holocaust withal, and spoons bowls, and vessels instruments of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh continually all the days of Jehoiada Yah Yada. But Jehoiada waxed old Yah Yada aged, and was full satisfied of days when he died; a son of an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died. And they buried entombed him in the city of David among the kings sovereigns, because he had done worked good in Israel Yisra El, both toward God Elohim, and toward his house. Now after the death of Jehoiada Yah Yada came the princes governors of Judah Yah Hudah, and made obeisance prostrated to the king sovereign. Then the king sovereign hearkened unto them. And they left forsook the house of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, and served groves asherim and idols:

Why have you not required of the Leviym to bring in the burden from Yah Hudah and from Yeru Shalem according to Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh? And of the congregation of Yisra El for the tent of witness? 7

For the sons of Athal Yah the wicked breached the house of Elohim; and they also worked all the holies of the house of Yah Veh to the Baalim.

And the sovereign says, and they work one ark; and give it outside the portal of the house of Yah Veh: and they give voice in Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem, to bring in the burden Mosheh the servant of Elohim laid on Yisra El in the wilderness to Yah Veh. And all the governors and all the people cheer and bring and cast in the ark until they finish. And so be it, that at the time, they bring in the ark for the oversight of the sovereign by the hand of the Leviym; and they see there is much silver: and the scribe of the sovereign and the overseer of the head priest come and empty the ark and lift it and return it to his place: thus they work day by day and gather silver in abundance.

And the sovereign and Yah Yada give it to such as work the work of the service of the house of Yah Veh; and hire hewers and artificers to renew the house of Yah Veh; and also artificers of iron and copper to strengthen the house of Yah Veh: and the workers work and healing ascends on the work of their hand; and they stand the house of Elohim in quantity and strengthen it.

And they finish; and they bring the remainder of the silver at the face of the sovereign and Yah Yada; and they work instruments for the house of Yah Veh — instruments of ministry and of holocaust and bowls — even instruments of gold and silver: and they holocaust holocausts in the house of Yah Veh continually all the days of Yah Yada.

And Yah Yada ages, satisfied of days and he dies; a son of a hundred and thirty years when he dies: and they entomb him among the sovereigns in the city of David because he worked good in Yisra El — both toward Elohim and toward his house.

And after the death of Yah Yada the governors of Yah Hudah come and prostrate to the sovereign: then the sovereign hearkens to them: and they forsake the house of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers and serve asherim and idols;

and wrath rage came upon Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem for this their trespass guilt. Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring return them again unto the L ORD Yah Veh; and they testified witnessed against them: but they would not give ear hearkened not. And the Spirit of God Elohim came upon Zechariah enrobed Zechar Yah the son of Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God Elohim, Why transgress trespass ye the commandments misvoth of the L ORD Yah Veh, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the L ORD Yah Veh, he hath also forsaken you. And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment misvah of the king sovereign in the court of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. Thus Joash Yah Ash the king sovereign remembered not the kindness mercy which Jehoiada Yah Yada his father had done worked to him, but slew slaughtered his son. And when he died, he said, The L ORD look Yah Veh see upon it, and require it. ARAM ASCENDS AGAINST YAH HUDAH AND YERU SHALEM And so be it came to pass, at the end revolution of the year, that the host valiant of Syria Aram came up ascended against him: and they came to Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and destroyed ruined all the princes governors of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king sovereign of Damascus Dammeseq. For the army valiant of the Syrians Aram came with a small company of little men, and the L ORD delivered Yah Veh gave a very mighty great host valiant into their hand, because they had forsaken the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. So they executed judgment worked judgments against Joash Yah Ash. THE DEATH OF YAH ASH And when they were departed went from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada Yah Yada the priest, and slew slaughtered him on his bed, and he died: and they buried entombed him in the city of David, but they buried entombed him not in the sepulchres tombs of the kings sovereigns. And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess Ammoniyth, and Jehozabad Yah Zabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess Moabiyth. Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the greatened burdens laid upon him, and the repairing foundation of the house of God Elohim, behold, they are written inscribed in the story commentary of the book scroll of the kings sovereigns. And Amaziah Amaz Yah his son reigned in his stead. AMAZ YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Amaziah Amaz Yah was a son of twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan Yah Addan of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And he did worked that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, but not with a perfect heart heart at shalom.

and rage comes upon Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem for this their guilt: and he sends prophets among them to return them to Yah Veh: and they witness against them; but they hearken not.

And the Spirit of Elohim enrobes Zechar Yah the son of Yah Yada the priest — who stands above the people and says to them, Thus says Elohim, Why trespass you the misvoth of Yah Veh, and prosper not? Because you forsake Yah Veh, he forsakes you.

And at the misvah of the sovereign they conspire against him; and stone him with stones in the court of the house of Yah Veh. Thus Yah Ash the sovereign remembers not the mercy Yah Yada his father worked to him; but slaughters his son.

And as he dies, he says, Yah Veh sees and requires.

ARAM ASCENDS AGAINST YAH HUDAH AND YERU SHALEM And so be it, at the revolution of the year, the valiant of Aram ascend against him: and they come to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem and ruin all the governors of the people from among the people; and send all their spoil to the sovereign of Dammeseq. For the valiant of Aram come with little men; and Yah Veh gives a mighty great valiant into their hand, because they forsook Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers: thus they work judgments against Yah Ash. THE DEATH OF YAH ASH And they go from him — for they leave him in great diseases and his own servants conspire against him for the blood of the sons of Yah Yada the priest; and slaughter him on his bed and he dies: and they entomb him in the city of David; and entomb him not in the tombs of the sovereigns.

And these are they who conspire against him: Zabad the son of Shimeath, an Ammoniyth and Yah Zabad the son of Shimrith, a Moabiyth.

And as for his sons and his greatened burdens and the foundation of the house of Elohim, behold, they are inscribed in the commentary of the scroll of the sovereigns. And Amaz Yah his son reigns in his stead.

Now so be it came to pass, when the kingdom sovereigndom was established to strong upon him, that he slew slaughtered his servants that had killed smitten the king sovereign his father. But he slew deathified not their children sons, but did as it is written inscribed in the law torah in the book scroll of Moses Mosheh, where the L ORD commanded Yah Veh misvahed, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children sons, neither shall the children sons die for the fathers, but every man each shall die for his own sin. Moreover Amaziah Amaz Yah gathered Judah Yah Hudah together, and made stood them captains governors over thousands, and captains governors over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin: and he numbered mustered them from sons of twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men chosen, able to go forth to war hostility, that could handle spear hold javelin and shield. He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel Yisra El for an hundred talents rounds of silver. But there came a man of God Elohim to him, saying, O king sovereign, let not the army host of Israel Yisra El go with thee; for the L ORD Yah Veh is not with Israel Yisra El, to wit, with all the children sons of Ephraim Ephrayim. But if thou wilt shalt go, do work it; be strong strengthen for the battle war: God Elohim shall make stumble thee fall before at the face of the enemy: for God Elohim hath power force to help, and to cast down stumble. And Amaziah Amaz Yah said to the man of God Elohim, But what shall we do work for the hundred talents rounds which I have given to the army troop of Israel Yisra El? And the man of God answered Elohim said, The L ORD Yah Veh is able to give thee much aboundingly more than this. Then Amaziah Amaz Yah separated them, to wit, the army troop that was come to him out of Ephraim Ephrayim, to go home to their place again: wherefore their anger wrath was greatly mightily kindled against Judah Yah Hudah, and they returned home to their place in great anger fuming wrath. And Amaziah Amaz Yah strengthened himself, and led forth drove his people, and went to the valley of salt Gay Melach/Valley of Salt, and smote of the children sons of Seir ten thousand. And other ten thousand left alive did the children sons of Judah Yah Hudah carry away captive capture, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces split. But the soldiers sons of the band of the army troop which Amaziah sent Amaz Yah turned back, that they should not go with him to battle war, fell upon stripped the cities of Judah Yah Hudah, from Samaria Shomeron even unto Bethhoron Beth Horon, and smote three thousand of them, and took plundered much spoil. Now so be it came to pass, after that Amaziah Amaz Yah was come from the slaughter smiting of the Edomites Edomiy, that he brought the gods elohim of the children sons of Seir, and set stood them up to be his gods elohim,

And so be it, the sovereigndom is strong on him; and he slaughters his servants who smote the sovereign his father: and he deathifies not their sons, but as inscribed in the torah in the scroll of Mosheh. Yah Veh misvahed, saying, Neither the fathers die for the sons nor the sons die for the fathers; but each dies for his own sin. And Amaz Yah gathers Yah Hudah and stands governors over thousands and governors over hundreds according to the houses of their fathers throughout all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin: and he musters them from sons of twenty years and above and finds three hundred thousand chosen of them to go forth to hostility — who hold javelin and shield: and he hires a hundred thousand mighty of valor of Yisra El for a hundred rounds of silver. And a man of Elohim comes to him, saying, O sovereign, the host of Yisra El goes not with you; for Yah Veh is not with Yisra El — with all the sons of Ephrayim; but if you go, Work! Strengthen for the war! Elohim stumbles you at the face of the enemy: for Elohim has force to help — and to stumble. And Amaz Yah says to the man of Elohim, But what work we for the hundred rounds I gave to the troop of Yisra El? And the man of Elohim says, Yah Veh is able to give you aboundingly more than this.

Then Amaz Yah separates them — the troop that came to him from Ephrayim to go to their place: and they kindle their wrath mightily against Yah Hudah; and return to their place in fuming wrath.

And Amaz Yah strengthens himself and drives his people and goes to Gay Melach/Valley of Salt and smites ten thousand of the sons of Seir: and the sons of Yah Hudah capture ten thousand alive; and bring them to the top of the rock and cast them from the top of the rock; and they all split.

And the sons of the band of the troop whom Amaz Yah turned back to not go with him to war — they strip the cities of Yah Hudah — from Shomeron even to Beth Horon and smite three thousand of them and plunder much spoil.

And so be it, after Amaz Yah comes from the smiting of the Edomiy, he brings the elohim of the sons of Seir; and stands them to be his elohim;

and bowed down himself before them prostrated at their face, and burned incense incensed unto them. Wherefore the anger wrath of the L ORD Yah Veh was kindled against Amaziah Amaz Yah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods elohim of the people, which could not deliver rescue their own people out of thine hand? And so be it came to pass, as he talked worded with him, that the king he said unto him, Art thou made given of the king's counsel to be counsellor to the sovereign? forbear cease; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare ceased, and said, I know that God Elohim hath determined counselled to destroy ruin thee, because thou hast done worked this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel. THE SOVEREIGN OF YAH HUDAH CHALLENGES THE SOVEREIGN OF YISRA EL Then Amaziah Amaz Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah took advice counselled, and sent to Joash Yah Ash, the son of Jehoahaz Yah Achaz, the son of Jehu Yah Hu, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face. And Joash Yah Ash, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El sent to Amaziah Amaz Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, saying, The thistle thorn that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife woman: and there passed by a wild beast live being of the field that was in Lebanon, and trode down trampled the thistle thorn. Thou sayest, Lo Behold, thou hast smitten the Edomites Edomiy; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast honour: abide settle now at home in thy house; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt coax evil, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah Yah Hudah with thee? But Amaziah would not hear Amaz Yah hearkened not; for it came be of God Elohim, that he might deliver give them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods elohim of Edom. So Joash Yah Ash, the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El went up ascended; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah Amaz Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, at Bethshemesh Beth Shemesh, which belongeth be to Judah Yah Hudah. And Judah Yah Hudah was put to the worse smitten before Israel at the face of Yisra El, and they fled every man to his tent. And Joash Yah Ash, the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El took Amaziah apprehended Amaz Yah, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, the son of Joash Yah Ash, the son of Jehoahaz Yah Achaz, at Bethshemesh Beth Shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem from the gate portal of Ephraim Ephrayim to the corner gate portal at the face, four hundred cubits. And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels instruments that were found in the house of God Elohim with Obededom Obed Edom, and the treasures of the king's sovereign's house, the hostages sons as pledges also, and returned to Samaria Shomeron. And Amaziah Amaz Yah the son of Joash Yah Ash, king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah

and prostrates at their face and incenses to them. 15

And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Amaz Yah and he sends him a prophet, who says to him, Why seek you after the elohim of the people, who rescued not their own people from your hand?

And so be it, as he words with him, he says to him, Who gives you to be counsellor to the sovereign? Cease! Why be smitten? Then the prophet ceases and says, I know Elohim counsels to ruin, because you work this and hearken not to my counsel.

And under their hand was an army a host, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made worked war with mighty power valiant force, to help the king sovereign against the enemy.

And he made worked in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem engines fabrications, invented by cunning men — the fabrication of fabricators, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks corners, to shoot flow arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad went forth afar off; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong prevailed. But when he was strong strengthened, his heart was lifted up exalted to his destruction ruin him: for he transgressed treasoned against the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim, and went into the temple manse of the L ORD Yah Veh to burn incense upon the sacrifice altar of incense. And Azariah Azar Yah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore eighty priests of the L ORD Yah Veh, that were valiant men sons of valour: And they withstood Uzziah Uzzi Yah the king sovereign, and said unto him, It appertaineth becometh not unto thee, Uzziah Uzzi Yah, to burn incense unto the L ORD Yah Veh, but to the priests the sons of Aaron Aharon, that are consecrated hallowed to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary holies; for thou hast trespassed treasoned; neither shall it be for thine honour from the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim. Then Uzziah Uzzi Yah was wroth enraged, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth enraged with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before at the face of the priests in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, from beside the incense sacrifice altar. And Azariah Azar Yah the chief head priest, and all the priests, looked upon faced him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust hasted him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the L ORD Yah Veh had smitten touched him. And Uzziah Uzzi Yah the king sovereign was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt settled in a several liberty house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the L ORD Yah Veh: and Jotham Yah Tham his son was over the king's sovereign's house, judging the people of the land. Now the rest of the acts words of Uzziah Uzzi Yah, first and last, did Isaiah Yesha Yah the prophet, the son of Amoz Amos, write inscribe. So Uzziah slept Uzzi Yah laid with his fathers, and they buried entombed him with his fathers in the field of the burial tomb which belonged to the kings be the sovereigns; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham Yah Tham his son reigned in his stead. YAH THAM REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Jotham Yah Tham was a son of twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem.

and Maase Yah the officer under the hand of Hanan Yah, of the governors of the sovereign: the whole number of the head of the fathers of the mighty of valour — two thousand and six hundred: and under their hand is a host — three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred who work war with valiant force to help the sovereign against the enemy. And throughout all the host Uzzi Yah prepares for them bucklers and javelins and helmets and habergeons and bows and stones for slings: and in Yeru Shalem he works fabrications — the fabrication of fabricators to be on the towers and on the corners from which to flow arrows and great stones: and his name goes afar off; for they help him marvellously until he prevails.

And he strengthens, and exalts his heart to his ruin; and he treasons against Yah Veh his Elohim: and goes into the manse of Yah Veh to incense on the sacrifice altar of incense.

And Azar Yah the priest goes in after him and eighty priests of Yah Veh with him — sons of valour: and they withstand Uzzi Yah the sovereign and say to him, This becomes you not, Uzzi Yah, to incense to Yah Veh: but only to the priests, the sons of Aharon, who are hallowed to incense: go from the holies; for you treason; it is not for your honor from Yah Veh Elohim.

And Uzzi Yah rages: and has a censer in his hand to incense: and as he rages with the priests, the leprosy rises in his forehead at the face of the priests in the house of Yah Veh beside the incense sacrifice altar. And Azar Yah, the head priest and all the priests face him, and behold, he is leprous in his forehead and they hasten him from thence; yes, he himself also hastens to go out because Yah Veh touched him: and Uzzi Yah the sovereign is a leper to the day of his death and settles in a liberty house — a leper; for he is cut off from the house of Yah Veh: and Yah Tham his son is over the house of the sovereign judging the people of the land.

And the rest of the words of Uzzi Yah — first and last Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos, inscribes.

And Uzzi Yah lies down with his fathers — entombed with his fathers in the field of the tomb of the sovereigns; for they say, He is a leper: and Yah Tham his son reigns in his stead.

YAH THAM REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Yah Tham is a son of twenty—five years when he begins to reign: and he reigns sixteen years in Yeru Shalem.

His mother's name also was Jerushah Yerushah, the daughter of Zadok Sadoq. And he did worked that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, according to all that his father Uzziah did Uzzi Yah worked: howbeit he entered not into the temple manse of the L ORD Yah Veh. And the people did yet corruptly ruined. He built the high gate Elyon Portal of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and on the wall of Ophel he built much abundantly. Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah Yah Hudah, and in the forests he built castles palaces and towers. He fought also with the king sovereign of the Ammonites sons of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children sons of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents rounds of silver, and ten thousand measures kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much This did the children sons of Ammon pay return unto him, both the second year, and the third. So Jotham became mighty Yah Tham prevailed, because he prepared his ways before the L ORD at the face of Yah Veh his God Elohim. Now the rest of the acts words of Jotham Yah Tham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo behold, they are written inscribed in the book scroll of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El and Judah Yah Hudah. He was a son of five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And Jotham slept Yah Tham laid with his fathers, and they buried entombed him in the city of David: and Ahaz Achaz his son reigned in his stead. ACHAZ REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Ahaz Achaz was a son of twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: but he did worked not that which was right straight in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, like David his father: For he walked in the ways of the kings sovereigns of Israel Yisra El, and made worked also molten images moltens for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense incensed in the valley of the son of Hinnom burning, and burnt his children sons in the fire, after the abominations abhorrences of the heathen goyim whom the L ORD Yah Veh had cast out dispossessed before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. He sacrificed also and burnt incense incensed in the high places bamahs, and on the hills, and under every green tree. Wherefore the L ORD Yah Veh his God Elohim delivered gave him into the hand of the king sovereign of Syria Aram; and they smote him, and carried away captured a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus Dammeseq. And he was also delivered given into the hand of the king sovereign of Israel Yisra El, who smote him with a great slaughter stroke. For Pekah Peqach the son of Remaliah Remal Yah slew slaughtered in Judah Yah Hudah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men sons of valour; because they had forsaken the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim Ephrayim, slew Maaseiah slaughtered Maase Yah the king's sovereign's son, and Azrikam Ezri Qam the governor eminent of the house,

the name of his mother, Yerushah the daughter of Sadoq. And he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh according to all his father Uzzi Yah worked: only he enters not into the manse of Yah Veh: and the people ruin. He builds Elyon Portal of the house of Yah Veh and on the wall of Ophel he builds abundantly: and he builds cities in the mountains of Yah Hudah and in the forests he builds palaces and towers: and he fights the sovereign of the sons of Ammon and prevails against them. And the same year, the sons of Ammon give him a hundred rounds of silver and ten thousand kors of wheat and ten thousand of barley: the sons of Ammon return this to him both the second year and the third: and Yah Tham prevails because he prepares his ways at the face of Yah Veh his Elohim.

And the rest of the words of Yah Tham and all his wars and his ways, behold, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah and Yisra El?

He is a son of twenty—five years when he begins to reign; and reigns sixteen years in Yeru Shalem: and Yah Tham lies down with his fathers — entombed in the city of David: and Achaz his son reigns in his stead.

And Peqach the son of Remal Yah slaughters in Yah Hudah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day — all sons of valour; because they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers.

and Elkanah El Qanah that was next second to the king sovereign. And the children sons of Israel Yisra El carried away captive captured of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took plundered also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria Shomeron. But a prophet of the L ORD Yah Veh was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before at the face of the host that came to Samaria Shomeron, and said unto them, Behold, because the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers was wroth in his fury with Judah Yah Hudah, he hath delivered given them into your hand, and ye have slain slaughtered them in a rage that reacheth up toucheth unto heaven the heavens. And now ye purpose say to keep under subdue the children sons of Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem for bondmen servants and bondwomen maids unto you: but are there not with you, even only with you, sins guilt against the LORD Yah Veh your God Elohim? Now hear me therefore, and deliver return the captives again, which ye have taken captive captured of your brethren: for the fierce fuming wrath of the L ORD Yah Veh is upon you. Then certain men of the heads of the children sons of Ephraim Ephrayim, Azariah Azar Yah the son of Johanan Yah Hanan, Berechiah Berech Yah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah Yechizqi Yah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up arose against them that came from the war hostility, And said unto them, ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended guilted against the L ORD Yah Veh already, ye intend say to add more to our sins and to our trespass guilt: for our trespass guilt is great, and there is fierce fuming wrath against Israel Yisra El. So the armed men equipped left the captives and the spoil plunder before at the face of the princes governors and all the congregation. And the men which were expressed appointed by name rose up, and took held the captives, and with the spoil clothed enrobed all that were naked among them, and arrayed enrobed them, and shod enclosed them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried guided all the feeble of them that faltered upon asses he burros, and brought them to Jericho Yericho, the city of palm trees, to beside their brethren: then they returned to Samaria Shomeron. At that time did king Ahaz sovereign Achaz send unto the kings sovereigns of Assyria Ashshur to help him. For again the Edomites Edomiy had come and smitten Judah Yah Hudah, and carried away captured captives. The Philistines Peleshethiy also had invaded stripped the cities of the low country lowlands, and of the south of Judah Yah Hudah, and had taken Bethshemesh captured Beth Shemesh, and Ajalon Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho Sochoh with the villages daughters thereof, and Timnah with the villages daughters thereof, Gimzo also and the villages daughters thereof: and they dwelt settled there. For the L ORD Yah Veh brought Judah low humbled Yah Hudah because of Ahaz Achaz, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El; for he made Judah naked exposed Yah Hudah,

and El Qanah the second to the sovereign: and the sons of Yisra El capture two hundred thousand of their brothers — women, sons and daughters: and also plunder much spoil from them and bring the spoil to Shomeron.

And a prophet of Yah Veh is there; his name, Oded: and he goes at the face of the host who come to Shomeron, and says to them, Behold, Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers in his fury with Yah Hudah gives them into your hand: slaughter them in a rage it touches to the heavens.

And now, sons of Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, you say to subdue them as your servants and maids: but have you not guilt — all yours against Yah Veh your Elohim? And now hear me; and return the captives you captured of your brothers: for the fuming wrath of Yah Veh is on you.

And the men, heads of the sons of Ephrayim, Azar Yah the son of Yah Hanan Berech Yah the son of Meshillemoth and Yechizqi Yah the son of Shallum and Amasa the son of Hadlai rise against them who come from the hostility and say to them, Bring not the captives here for the guilt against Yah Veh is on us; and you say to add to our sins and to our guilt: for our guilt is great and there is fuming wrath against Yisra El. And the equipped leave the captives and the plunder at the face of the governors and all the congregation: and the men appointed by name rise and hold the captives; and enrobe all the naked with the spoil — enrobe them and enclose them and give them to eat and to drink and anoint them; and guide all who faltered on he burros: and bring them to Yericho, the city of palm trees, beside their brothers: and they return to Shomeron. At that time, sovereign Achaz sends to help the sovereign of Ashshur: and again the Edomiy come and smite Yah Hudah and capture captives: and the Peleshethiy strip the cities of the lowlands and of the south of Yah Hudah and capture Beth Shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Sochoh with the daughters thereof and Timnah with the daughters thereof and Gimzo and the daughters thereof: and there they settle.

and transgressed sore in treasoning, treasoned against the L ORD Yah Veh. And Tilgathpilneser Tilgath Pileser king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur came unto him, and distressed besieged him, but strengthened him not. For Ahaz took away a portion Achaz allotted out of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and out of the house of the king sovereign, and of the princes governors, and gave it unto the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur: but he helped him not. And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more add to treason against the L ORD Yah Veh: this is that king Ahaz sovereign Achaz. For he sacrificed unto the gods elohim of Damascus Dammeseq, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods elohim of the kings sovereigns of Syria Aram help them, therefore will shall I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of stumbled him, and of all Israel Yisra El. And Ahaz Achaz gathered together the vessels instruments of the house of God Elohim, and cut in pieces chopped the vessels instruments of the house of God Elohim, and shut up the doors of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, and he made worked him sacrifice altars in every corner of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem.

Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out quenched the lamps, and have not burned incensed incense nor offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts in the holy place holies unto the God Elohim of Israel Yisra El. Wherefore the wrath rage of the L ORD Yah Veh was upon Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and he hath delivered given them to trouble agitation, to astonishment desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes. For, lo behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives women are in captivity for this. Now it is in mine heart to make cut a covenant with the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, that his fierce fuming wrath may turn away from us. My sons, be not now negligent misled: for the L ORD Yah Veh hath chosen you to stand before him at his face, to serve minister unto him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense. Then the Levites Leviym arose, Mahath Machath the son of Amasai Amasay, and Joel Yah El the son of Azariah Azar Yah, of the sons of the Kohathites Qehathiy: and of the sons of Merari, Kish Qish the son of Abdi, and Azariah Azar Yah the son of Jehaleleel Ye Halal El: and of the Gershonites Gershoniy; Joah Yah Ach the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah Yah Ach: And of the sons of Elizaphan El Saphan; Shimri, and Jeiel Yei El: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah Zechar Yah, and Mattaniah Mattan Yah: And of the sons of Heman; Jehi El Yechi El, and Shimei Shimi: and of the sons of Jeduthun Yeduthun; Shemaiah Shema Yah, and Uzziel Uzzi El.

And the number of the burnt offerings holocausts, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks seventy oxen, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering holocaust to the L ORD Yah Veh. And the consecrated things holies were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep flocks. But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay strip all the burnt offerings holocausts: wherefore their brethren the Levites Leviym did help strengthened them, till the work was ended finished, and until the other priests had sanctified hallowed themselves: for the Levites Leviym were more upright straight in heart to sanctify hallow themselves than the priests. And also the burnt offerings holocausts were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings shelamim, and the drink offerings libations for every burnt offering the holocaust. So the service of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh was set in order established.

For the king sovereign had taken counsel, and his princes governors, and all the congregation in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to keep work the passover pasach in the second month. For they could not keep work it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified hallowed themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem.

And the congregation brings in sacrifices and spread hands; and as many as are of a voluntary heart, holocaust: and the number of the holocausts the congregation brings: seventy oxen, a hundred rams and two hundred lambs — all these are for a holocaust to Yah Veh. And the holies: six hundred oxen and three thousand flocks. Only, the priests are so few, that they cannot strip all the holocausts: and their brothers the Leviym strengthen them until the work is finished and until the priests hallow themselves: for the Leviym are more straight in heart to hallow themselves than the priests: and also the holocausts are in abundance — with the fat of the shelamim and the libations for the holocaust: and the service of the house of Yah Veh is established; and Yechizqi Yah and all the people cheer, because Elohim prepares the people. — for the word becomes suddenly.

THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH Now the rest of the acts words of Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah, and his goodness mercy, behold, they are written inscribed in the vision of Isaiah Yesha Yah the prophet, the son of Amoz Amos, and in the book scroll of the kings sovereigns of Judah Yah Hudah and Israel Yisra El. And Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah slept laid with his fathers,

who cuts off all the mighty of valour and the eminent and governors in the camp of the sovereign of Ashshur: and he returns with shamed face to his own land. And he comes to the house of his elohim; and the offspring of his inwards fell him there with the sword: and Yah Veh saves Yechizqi Yah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem from the hand of Sancherib the sovereign of Ashshur and from the hand of all others; and guides them all around.

And many bring offerings to Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; and preciousnesses to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: so that he is lifted in the eyes of all goyim thereafter.

In those days, Yechizqi Yah is sick to die and prays to Yah Veh: and he says to him and he gives him an omen: and Yechizqi Yah returns not according as he was dealt; for his heart lifts: and there is rage on him and on Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: and Yechizqi Yah humbles himself for the haughtiness of his heart — he and the settlers of Yeru Shalem; so that the rage of Yah Veh comes not on them in the days of Yechizqi Yah: and Yechizqi Yah abounds mightily in riches and honor: and he works himself treasuries for silver and for gold and for esteemed stones and for spices and for bucklers and for all manner of instruments of desire — storage for the produce of crop and juice and oil; and stalls for animal by animal and stalls for droves: and he works cities and chattels of flocks and oxen in abundance: for Elohim gives him mighty much acquisition. This is the same Yechizqi Yah who stopped the upper watersprings of Gichon and brought it downward — duskward of the city of David — and Yechizqi Yah prospers in all his works.

And thus, by the interpreters of the governors of Babel, who send to him to enquire of the omen in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that is in his heart.

And Yechizqi Yah lies down with his fathers

and they buried entombed him in the chiefest ascent of the sepulchres tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah Yah Hudah and the inhabitants settlers of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem did worked him honour at his death. And Manasseh Menash Sheh his son reigned in his stead. MENASH SHEH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM Manasseh Menash Sheh was a son of twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: But did worked that which was evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, like unto the abominations abhorrences of the heathen goyim, whom the L ORD Yah Veh had cast out dispossessed before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. For he returned and built again the high places bamahs which Hezekiah Yechizqi Yah his father had broken pulled down, and he reared up raised sacrifice altars for Baalim, and made groves worked asherim, and worshipped prostrated to all the host of heaven the heavens, and served them. Also he built sacrifice altars in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh, whereof the L ORD Yah Veh had said, In Jerusalem Yeru Shalem shall my name be for ever eternally. And he built sacrifice altars for all the host of heaven the heavens in the two courts of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. And he caused his children sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom burning: also he observed times cloudglazed, and used enchantments prognosticated, and used witchcraft sorcered, and dealt worked with a familiar spirit necromancer, and with wizards knowers: he wrought much abounded to work evil in the sight eyes of the L ORD Yah Veh, to provoke vex him to anger. And he set a carved image sculptile, the idol figurine which he had made worked, in the house of God Elohim, of which God Elohim had said to David and to Solomon Shelomoh his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El, will shall I put set my name for ever eternally: Neither will shall I any more remove turn aside the foot of Israel Yisra El from out of the land soil which I have appointed stood for your fathers; so that they will take heed shall guard to do work all that I have commanded misvahed them, according to the whole law torah and the statutes and the ordinances judgments by the hand of Moses Mosheh. So Manasseh Menash Sheh made Judah Yah Hudah and the inhabitants settlers of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem to err stray, and to do worse than work evil above the heathen goyim, whom the L ORD Yah Veh had destroyed desolated before at the face of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. And the LORD spake Yah Veh worded to Manasseh Menash Sheh, and to his people: but they would not hearken hearkened not. Wherefore the L ORD Yah Veh brought upon them the captains governors of the host of the king sovereign of Assyria Ashshur, which took Manasseh captured Menash Sheh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters copper, and carried walked him to Babylon Babel. And when he was in affliction tribulated, he besought stroked the face the L ORD of Yah Veh his God Elohim,

— entombed in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem work him honor at his death. — and Menash Sheh his son reigns in his stead.

And he sets a sculptile — a figurine he worked in the house of Elohim, of which Elohim said to David and to Shelomoh his son, In this house and in Yeru Shalem which I chose from all the scions of Yisra El I set my name eternally: I neither turn aside the foot of Yisra El from the soil which I stood for your fathers; so that they guard to work all I misvahed them, according to the whole torah and the statutes and the judgments by the hand of Mosheh.

Nevertheless Josiah would not turn Yoshi Yah turned not his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God Elohim, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo. And the archers shooters shot at king Josiah sovereign Yoshi Yah; and the king sovereign said to his servants, Have me away Pass me over; for I am sore wounded mighty sick. His servants therefore took passed him out of that chariot, and put rode him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought walked him to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and he died, and was buried entombed in one of the sepulchres tombs of his fathers. And all Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem mourned for Josiah Yoshi Yah. And Jeremiah Yirme Yah lamented for Josiah Yoshi Yah: and all the singing men songsters and the singing women songstresses spake say of Josiah Yoshi Yah in their lamentations to this day, and made gave them an ordinance a statute in Israel Yisra El: and, behold, they are written inscribed in the lamentations.

THE DEATH OF YOSHI YAH After all this, Yoshi Yah prepares the house, and Necho sovereign of Misrayim ascends to fight Karchemish by Euphrates: and Yoshi Yah goes to meet him.

And he sends angels to him, saying, What have I to do with you, sovereign of Yah Hudah? — not against you this day but I war against the house: for Elohim says to me to hasten! Cease from Elohim who is with me that he not ruin you.

And Yoshi Yah turns not his face from him; but disguises himself to fight him; and hearkens not to the words of Necho from the mouth of Elohim; and comes to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

And the shooters shoot sovereign Yoshi Yah; and the sovereign says to his servants, Pass me over; for I am mighty sick.

And his servants pass him from that chariot and ride him in his second chariot; and they walk him to Yeru Shalem and he dies — entombed in the tombs of his fathers: and all Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem mourns for Yoshi Yah: and Yirme Yah laments for Yoshi Yah: and all the songsters and songstresses say of Yoshi Yah in their lamentations to this day and gives them for a statute in Yisra El: and behold, they are inscribed in the lamentations.

THE RETURN TO YERU SHALEM And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode encamped we in tents three days: and I viewed discerned the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi. Then sent I for Eliezer Eli Ezer, for Ariel Ari El, for Shemaiah Shema Yah, and for Elnathan El Nathan, and for Jarib Yarib, and for Elnathan El Nathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah Zechar Yah, and for Meshullam, chief men heads; also for Joiarib Yah Jarib, and for Elnathan El Nathan, men of understanding discerners. And I sent misvahed them with commandment unto Iddo the chief head at the place Casiphia Kasiphia, and I told them set in their mouth what words they should say word unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims Dedicates, at the place Casiphia Kasiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God Elohim. And by the good hand of our God Elohim upon us they brought us a man of understanding comprehension, of the sons of Mahli Machli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel Yisra El; and Sherebiah Shereb Yah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen; And Hashabiah Hashab Yah, and with him Jeshaiah Yesha Yah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty; Also of the Nethinims Dedicates, whom David and the princes governors had appointed given for the service of the Levites Leviym, two hundred and twenty Nethinims Dedicates: all of them were expressed appointed by name. Then I proclaimed called a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict humble ourselves before at the face of our God Elohim, to seek of him a right straight way for us, and for our little ones toddlers, and for all our substance acquisition. For I was ashamed shamed to require ask of the king sovereign a band of soldiers men of valour and horsemen cavalry to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken said unto the king sovereign, saying, The hand of our God Elohim is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power strength and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. So we fasted and besought our God Elohim for this: and he was intreated of us. Then I separated twelve of the chief governors of the priests, Sherebiah Shereb Yah, Hashabiah Hashab Yah, and ten of their brethren with them, And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels instruments, even the offering exaltment of the house of our God Elohim, which the king sovereign, and his counsellors,

THE RETURN TO YERU SHALEM And I gather them to the river that runs to Ahava; and we encamp there three days: and I discern the people and the priests and find none of the sons of Levi: and I send for Eli Ezer, for Ari El, for Shema Yah and for El Nathan and for Yarib and for El Nathan and for Nathan and for Zechar Yah and for Meshullam — heads; and for Yah Yarib and for El Nathan — discerners: and I misvah them to Iddo the head at the place Kasiphia: and I set in their mouth what words to word to Iddo and to his brothers the Dedicates at the place Kasiphia: to bring us ministers for the house of our Elohim.

And I separate twelve of the governors of the priests — Shereb Yah, Hashab Yah and ten of their brothers with them; and weighed to them the silver and the gold and the instruments and an exaltment of the house of our Elohim which the sovereign and his counsellors

And I said unto them, ye are holy unto the L ORD Yah Veh; the vessels instruments are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering voluntary unto the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers. Watch ye, and keep guard them, until ye weigh them before at the face of the chief governor of the priests and the Levites Leviym, and chief governor of the fathers of Israel Yisra El, at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, in the chambers of the house of the L ORD Yah Veh. So took the priests and the Levites Leviym the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels instruments, to bring them to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem unto the house of our God Elohim. Then we departed pulled stakes from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: and the hand of our God Elohim was upon us, and he delivered rescued us from the hand palm of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait lurked by the way. And we came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and abode settled there three days. Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels instruments weighed in the house of our God Elohim by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah Uri Yah the priest; and with him was Eleazar El Azar the son of Phinehas Pinechas; and with them was Jozabad Yah Zabad the son of Jeshua Yah Shua, and Noadiah Noad Yah the son of Binnui Binnuy, Levites Leviym; By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written inscribed at that time. Also the children sons of those that had been carried away of the exile, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings oblated holocausts unto the God Elohim of Israel Yisra El, twelve bullocks for all Israel Yisra El, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he buck goats for a sin offering the sin: all this was a burnt offering holocaust unto the L ORD Yah Veh. And they delivered gave the king's commissions sovereign's edicts unto the king's lieutenants sovereign's satraps, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered lifted the people, and the house of God Elohim. THE PRAYER OF EZRA CONCERNING INTERMINGLING Now when these things were done finished, the princes governors came near to me, saying, The people of Israel Yisra El, and the priests, and the Levites Leviym, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations abhorrences, even of the Canaanites Kenaaniy, the Hittites Hethiy, the Perizzites Perizziy, the Jebusites Yebusiy, the Ammonites Ammoniy, the Moabites Moabiy, the Egyptians Misrayim, and the Amorites Emoriy.

and his governors and all Yisra El present, lifted: and I weigh to their hand six hundred and fifty rounds of silver and silver instruments a hundred rounds; of gold a hundred rounds and twenty tankards of gold of a thousand darics and two instruments of best yellow copper as desirable as gold. And I say to them, You are holy to Yah Veh; and the instruments are holy; and the silver and the gold are a voluntary to Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers: Watch and guard them until you weigh them at the face of the governor of the priests and the Leviym; and governor of the fathers of Yisra El at Yeru Shalem in the chambers of the house of Yah Veh. And the priests and the Leviym take the weight of the silver and the gold and the instruments, to bring them to Yeru Shalem to the house of our Elohim. And we pull stakes from the river of Ahava on the twelfth of the first month to go to Yeru Shalem: and the hand of our Elohim is on us and he rescues us from the palm of the enemy and of such as lurk by the way: and we come to Yeru Shalem and settle there three days: and on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the instruments are weighed in the house of our Elohim by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uri Yah the priest; and with him is El Azar the son of Pinechas; and with them is Yah Zabad the son of Yah Shua and Noad Yah the son of Binnuy — Leviym; by number and by weight of every one: and all the weight is inscribed at that time. They, the sons of the exile, who came from the captivity oblated holocausts to Elohim of Yisra El — twelve bullocks for all Yisra El, ninety—six rams, seventy—seven lambs, twelve buck goats for the sin: all this — a holocaust to Yah Veh: and they give the edicts of the sovereign to the satraps of the sovereign and to the governors on this side the river: and they lift the people and the house of Elohim. THE PRAYER OF EZRA CONCERNING INTERMINGLING And they finish these and the governors come near me, saying, The people of Yisra El and the priests and the Leviym separate not themselves from the people of the lands according to the abhorrences of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Perizziy, the Yebusiy, the Ammoniy, the Moabiy, the Misrayim and the Emoriy: for they spare their daughters

And when I heard this thing word, I rent ripped my garment clothes and my mantle, and plucked off baldened the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied. Then were assembled gathered unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God Elohim of Israel Yisra El, because of the transgression treason of those that had been carried away exiled; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice offering. And at the evening sacrifice offering I arose up from my heaviness fasting; and having rent ripped my garment clothes and my mantle, I fell bowed upon my knees, and spread out my hands palms unto the L ORD Yah Veh my God Elohim, And said, O my God Elohim, I am ashamed shamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God Elohim: for our iniquities perversities are increased abound over our head, and our trespass guilt is grown up unto the heavens. Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass guilt unto this day; and for our iniquities perversities have we, our kings sovereigns, and our priests, been delivered given into the hand of the kings sovereigns of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil plunder, and to confusion of shamed face, as it is this day. And now for a little space blink grace supplication hath been shewed from the L ORD Yah Veh our God Elohim, to leave us a remnant escapees to escape survive, and to give us a nail stake in his holy place holies, that our God Elohim may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving invigoration in our bondage servitude. For we were bondmen servants; yet our God Elohim hath not forsaken us in our bondage servitude, but hath extended spread mercy unto us in the sight face of the kings sovereigns of Persia, to give us a reviving an invigoration, to set up lift the house of our God Elohim, and to repair stand the desolations parched areas thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah Yah Hudah and in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And now, O our God Elohim, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments misvoth, Which thou hast commanded misvahed by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness a land of exclusion of the people of the lands, with their abominations abhorrences, which have filled it from one end mouth to another mouth with their uncleanness foulness. Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take bear their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace shalom or their wealth goodness for ever eternally: that ye may be strong strengthen, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever for your sons to possess eternally. And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds works, and for our great trespass guilt, seeing that thou our God Elohim hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve spared us from our downward perversities, and hast given us such deliverance an escape as this;

for themselves and for their sons: so that the holy seed mingles with the people of those lands: yes, the hand of the governors and prefects are heads in this treason. 3

And I hear this word and I rip my clothes and my mantle and balden the hair of my head and of my beard, and sit down astonished. and every one who trembles at the words of Elohim of Yisra El gathers to me; because of the treason of those who were exiled; and I sat astonished until the evening offering. And at the evening offering I rise and fast and rip my clothes and my mantle: I bow on my knees and spread my palms to Yah Veh my Elohim, and say, O my Elohim, I shame and blush to lift my face to thee, my Elohim: for our perversities abound over our head, and our guilt grows to the heavens: since the days of our fathers we are in a great guilt — unto this day: and for our perversities, our sovereigns and our priests, are given into the hand of the sovereigns of the lands — to the sword, to captivity, and to a plunder, and to shamed face, as this day. And now for a little blink, supplication becomes from Yah Veh our Elohim — to allow escapees to survive, and to give us a stake in his holies, so that our Elohim lighten our eyes, and give us a little invigoration in our servitude.

For we are servants; yet our Elohim forsakes us not in our servitude; but spreads us mercy at the face of the sovereigns of Persia — to give us an invigoration — to lift the house of our Elohim and to stand the parched areas thereof and to give us a wall in Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem.

And now, O our Elohim, what say we? For we forsook your misvoth which you misvahed by the hand of your servants the prophets, saying, The land you go to possess, is a land of exclusion of the people of the lands with their abhorrences who filled it from mouth to mouth with their foulness. And now, neither give your daughters to their sons, nor bear their daughters to your sons, nor seek their shalom or their goodness eternally: that you strengthen and eat the good of the land for your sons to possess eternally.

And after all that comes upon us for our evil works and for our great guilt — seeing that you our Elohim; spare us from our downward perversities, and give us such an escape as this

A M IGHTY CONGREGATION WEEPS Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed spread hands, weeping and casting himself falling down before at the face of the house of God Elohim, there assembled gathered unto him out of Israel Yisra El a very mighty great congregation of men and women and children: for in weeping, the people wept very sore aboundingly. And Shechaniah Shechan Yah the son of Jehiel Yechi El, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed treasoned against our God Elohim, and have taken settled strange wives women of the people of the land: yet now there is hope expectation in Israel Yisra El concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make cut a covenant with our God Elohim to put away bring all the wives women, and such as are born birthed of them, according to the counsel of my Lord Adonay, and of those that tremble at the commandment misvah of our God Elohim; and let it be done worked according to the law torah. Arise; for this matter belongeth word be unto thee: we also will shall be with thee: be of good courage strengthen, and do work it. Then arose Ezra, and made the chief governor priests, the Levites Leviym, and all Israel Yisra El, to swear oath that they should do work according to this word. And they sware oathed. Then Ezra rose up from before the face of the house of God Elohim, and went into the chamber of Johanan Yah Hanan the son of Eliashib El Yashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression treason of them that had been carried away exiled. And they made proclamation passed a voice throughout Judah Yah Hudah and Jerusalem Yeru Shalem unto all the children sons of the captivity exile, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem; And that whosoever would should not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes governors and the elders, all his substance acquisition should be forfeited devoted, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away exiled. Then all the men of Judah Yah Hudah and Benjamin Ben Yamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem Yeru Shalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat settled in the street broadway of the house of God Elohim, trembling because of this matter word, and for the great rain. And Ezra the priest stood up arose, and said unto them, ye have transgressed treasoned, and have taken settled strange wives women, to increase add to the trespass guilt of Israel Yisra El.

A M IGHTY CONGREGATION WEEPS And Ezra prays and spreads hands — weeping and falling at the face of the house of Elohim: a mighty great congregation from Yisra El — men and women and children gather to him: for in weeping, the people weep aboundingly. And Shechan Yah the son of Yechi El of the sons of Elam, answers and says to Ezra, We — we treason against our Elohim and settle strange women of the people of the land: and now there is expectation in Yisra El concerning this: and now have us cut a covenant with our Elohim to bring all the women and those birthed of them according to the counsel of my Adonay; and those who tremble at the misvah of our Elohim; and work according to the torah. Rise; for this word is to you: and we are with you. Strengthen and work!

And Ezra rises and oaths the governors of the priests, the Leviym and all Yisra El to work according to this word: and they oath.

And Ezra rises from the face of the house of Elohim and goes into the chamber of Yah Hanan the son of El Yashib: and he goes there and neither eats bread nor drinks water: for he mourns because of the treason of the exiles.

And they pass a voice throughout Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem to all the sons of the exile to gather to Yeru Shalem; and whoever comes not within three days according to the counsel of the governors and the elders, that they devote all his acquisitions and separate him from the congregation of the exiles.

And all the men of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin gather to Yeru Shalem within three days — the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people settle in the broadway of the house of Elohim — trembling because of this word and for the great rain.

And Ezra the priest rises and says to them, You — you treason and settle strange women to add to the guilt of Yisra El:

and now give spread hands to Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; and work his pleasure and separate yourselves from the people of the land and from the strange women.

And all the congregation answers and says with a great voice, According to your word, we work: but the people are many and it is a time of much rain; and we have neither force to stand outside nor is this a work of one day or two: for we abound with them who rebel in this word: O that it please our governors of all the congregation to stand and have all who settle strange women in our cities come with the elders and the judges at appointed times — city by city until the fuming wrath of our Elohim for this word turns from us.

NECHEM YAH WEEPS OVER THE SURVIVORS 1 The words of Nehemiah Nechem Yah the son of Hachaliah Hachal Yah. And it came to pass became, in the month Chisleu Kislav, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah Yah Hudah; and I asked them concerning the Jews Yah Hudiym that had escaped, which were left survived of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. 3 And they said unto me, The remnant survivors that are left survived of the captivity there in the province jurisdiction are in great affliction evil and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem also is broken down, and the gates portals thereof are burned with fire. 4 And so be it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down settled and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before at the face of the God Elohim of heaven the heavens, 5 And said, I beseech thee, O L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of heaven the heavens, the great and terrible God awesome El, that keepeth guardeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe guard his commandments misvoth: 6 Let thine ear now be attentive hearken, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now at thy face this day, by day and by night, for the children sons of Israel Yisra El thy servants, and confess spread hands for the sins of the children sons of Israel Yisra El, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. 7 In despoiling, We have dealt very corruptly despoiled against thee, and have not kept guarded the commandments misvoth, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst misvahedst thy servant Moses Mosheh. 8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst misvahedst thy servant Moses Mosheh, saying, If ye transgress treason, I will shall scatter you abroad among the nations people: 9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep guard my commandments misvoth, and do work them; though there were of you cast out expelled unto the uttermost part extremity of the heaven heavens, yet will shall I gather them from thence, and will shall bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set tabernacle my name there. 10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power force, and by thy strong hand. 11 O Lord Adonay, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive hearken to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire delight to fear awe thy name: and prosper, I pray beseech thee, thy servant this day, and grant give him mercy mercies in the sight face of this man.

Now I had not been beforetime sad in evil at his presence face.

NECHEM YAH WEEPS OVER THE SURVIVORS Words of Nechem Yah the son of Hachal Yah. And so be it, in the month Kislav, in the twentieth year, I am in Shushan the palace, and Hanani, one of my brothers, comes — he and men of Yah Hudah; and I ask them concerning the Yah Hudiym who escaped — who survived of the captivity and concerning Yeru Shalem.

And they say to me, The survivors who survived the captivity there in the jurisdiction are in great evil and reproach: and the wall of Yeru Shalem is broken down and the portals thereof are burned with fire.

And so be it, I hear these words, and I settle and weep and mourn for days and fast and pray at the face of Elohim of the heavens; and say, I beseech you, O Yah Veh Elohim of the heavens — the great and awesome El who guards covenant and mercy for them who love him and guard his misvoth: hearken your ear, I pray, and open your eyes to hear the prayer of your servant which I pray at your face this day — by day and by night for the sons of Yisra El your servants; and spread hands for the sins of the sons of Yisra El we sinned against you — both I and the house of my father sinned. In despoiling, we despoiled against you; and guarded neither the misvoth nor the statutes nor the judgments you misvahed your servant Mosheh.

Remember, I beseech you, the word you misvahed your servant Mosheh, saying, If you treason I scatter you abroad among the people: but if you turn to me and guard my misvoth and work them — though some of you were expelled to the extremity of the heavens yet I gather them from there and bring them to the place I chose to tabernacle my name: and they are your servants and your people whom you redeemed by your great force and by your strong hand. O Adonay, I beseech you, Hearken now your ear to the prayer of your servant — and to the prayer of your servants who delight to awe your name: and prosper, I beseech you, your servant this day; and give him mercies in the face of this man. For I am a butler of the sovereign. ARTACH SHASHTA SENDS NECHEM YAH TO YERU SHALEM And so be it, in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artach Shashta the sovereign, wine is at his face: and I lift the wine and give it to the sovereign — and I had never been evil to his face.

Wherefore the king sovereign said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad face evil, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing naught else but sorrow of an evil heart. Then I was very sore afraid mighty aboundingly awed, And said unto the king sovereign, Let the king live for ever The sovereign liveth eternally: why should not my countenance face be sad evil, when the city, the place house of my fathers' sepulchres tombs, lieth waste be parched, and the gates portals thereof are consumed with fire? Then the king sovereign said unto me, For what dost thou make request seekest thou? So I prayed to the God Elohim of heaven the heavens. And I said unto the king sovereign, If it please be good with the king sovereign, and if thy servant have found favour be well—pleased in at thy sight face, that thou wouldest shouldest send me unto Judah Yah Hudah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres tombs, that I may build it. And the king sovereign said unto me, (the queen mistress also sitting settled by him,) For how long shall thy journey walk be? and when wilt shalt thou return? So it pleased was good at the face of the king sovereign to send me; and I set gave him a time an appointment. Moreover I said unto the king sovereign, If it please be good with the king sovereign, let letters epistles be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey pass me over till I come into Judah Yah Hudah; And a letter an epistle unto Asaph the keeper guard of the king's forest sovereign's paradise, that he may give me timber to make fell beams for the gates portals of the palace which appertained be to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted sovereign gave me, according to the good hand of my God Elohim upon me. Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters sovereign's epistles. Now the king sovereign had sent captains governors of the army men of valour and horsemen cavalry with me. When Sanballat the Horonite Horoniy, and Tobiah Tobi Yah the servant, the Ammonite Ammoniy, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly in being evil, it was evil to them that there was come a man human to seek the welfare good of the children sons of Israel Yisra El. NECHEM YAH EXAMINES THE RUINED WALLS So I came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and was there three days. And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man human what my God Elohim had put given in my heart to do work at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: neither was there any beast animal with me, save the beast animal that I rode upon. And I went out by night by the gate portal of the valley, even before at the face of the dragon well monster fountain, and to the dung port dunghill portal, and viewed was examining the walls of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, which were broken down, and the gates portals thereof were consumed with fire. Then I went passed on to the gate portal of the fountain, and to the king's sovereign's pool: but there was no place for the beast animal that was under me to pass.

And the sovereign says to me, Why is your face evil — seeing you are not sick? This is naught but an evil heart. And I abound mighty awed, and say to the sovereign, The sovereign live eternally. Why not, my evil face, when the city, the house of the tombs of my father, is parched; and the portals thereof consume with fire? And the sovereign says to me, For what seek you? And I prayed to Elohim of the heavens; and I say to the sovereign, If it be good with the sovereign and if your servant well—pleases at your face, send me to Yah Hudah — to the city of the tombs of my fathers — to build it.

And the sovereign says to me, — and the mistress settles by him, How long is your walk? And when return you? — and it is good at the face of the sovereign to send me; and I give him an appointment.

And I say to the sovereign, If it is good with the sovereign, give me epistles to the governors beyond the river to pass me over until I come to Yah Hudah: and an epistle to Asaph the guard of the paradise of the sovereign, to give me timber to fell beams for the portals of the palace — for the house and for the wall of the city and for the house I enter. — and the sovereign gives me, according to the good hand of my Elohim on me.

And I come to the governors beyond the river and give them the epistles of the sovereign: and the sovereign sends governors of the men of valour and cavalry with me.

And Sanballat the Horoniy and Tobi Yah the servant — the Ammoniy, hear of it, and in being evil, it is evil to them for a human to come to seek the good of the sons of Yisra El.

Then went I up I ascended in the night by the brook wadi, and viewed examined the wall, and turned back returned, and entered by the gate portal of the valley, and so returned. And the rulers prefects knew not whither I went, or what I did worked; neither had I as yet thus told it to the Jews Yah Hudiym, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers prefects, nor to the rest that did worked the work. Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress evil that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste Yeru Shalem be parched, and the gates portals thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that we be no more a reproach. Then I told them of the hand of my God Elohim which was good upon me; as also the king's sovereign's words that he had spoken said unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. But when Sanballat the Horonite Horoniy, and Tobiah Tobi Yah the servant, the Ammonite Ammoniy, and Geshem the Arabian Arabiy, heard it, they laughed derided us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing word that ye do work? will shall ye rebel against the king sovereign?

But the fish gate portal did the sons of Hassenaah Senaah build, who also laid felled the beams thereof, and set up stood the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. And next unto them at their hand repaired strengthened Meremoth the son of Urijah Uri Yah, the son of Koz Qos. And next unto them at their hand repaired strengthened Meshullam the son of Berechiah Berech Yah, the son of Meshezabeel Meshezab El. And next unto them at their hand repaired Zadok strengthened Sadoq the son of Baana. And next unto them at their hand the Tekoites repaired Teqoaiy strengthened; but their nobles mighty put not their necks to the work service of their Lord Adonay. Moreover the old gate portal repaired Jehoiada strengthened Yah Yada the son of Paseah Paseach, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah Besod Yah; they laid felled the beams thereof, and set up stood the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof. And next unto them at their hand repaired strengthened Melatiah Melat Yah the Gibeonite Giboniy, and Jadon Yadon the Meronothite Meronothiy, the men of Gibeon Gibon, and of Mizpah Mispeh, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river.

and in the night, I ascend by the wadi and examine the wall and return; and enter by the portal of the valley and return: and the prefects know not where I go or what I work; and I tell neither the Yah Hudiym, nor the priests, nor the nobles, nor the prefects, nor the rest who work the work.

And say I to them, You see the evil we are in, how Yeru Shalem is parched and the portals thereof burned with fire: come, and we build the wall of Yeru Shalem, that we are a reproach no more.

And I tell them of the hand of my Elohim who is good on me; and also the words the sovereign says to me. And they say, We rise and build! — and they strengthen their hands for this good.

And Sanballat the Horoniy and Tobi Yah the servant the Ammoniy and Geshem the Arabiy hear; and they deride us and despise us and say, What is this word you work? Rebel you against the sovereign?

And I return word and say to them, The Elohim of the heavens — he prospers us; and we his servants rise and build: but you have neither allotment, nor justness, nor memorial in Yeru Shalem.

THE BUILDERS OF THE WALL And El Yashib the great priest rises with his brothers the priests and they build the flock portal; they hallow it and stand its doors — hallow it even to the tower of Meah to the tower of Hanan El: and at his hand the men of Yericho build: and at their hand: Zakkur the son of Imri builds; and the fish portal, the sons of Senaah build — he who felled its beams and stood its doors its locks and its bars: and at their hand: Meremoth the son of Uri Yah the son of Qos strengthens; and at their hand: Meshullam the son of Berech Yah, the son of Meshezab El strengthens; and at their hand: Sadoq the son of Baana strengthens;

and at their hand: the Teqoaiy strengthen; and their mighty put not their necks to the service of their Adonay; and the old portal Yah Yada the son of Paseach and Meshullam the son of Besod Yah strengthen — they fell its beams and stand its doors and its locks and its bars; and at their hand: Melat Yah the Giboniy strengthens — and Yadon the Meronothiy the men of Gibon and of Mispeh — to the throne of the governor this side the river;

and he says at the face of his brothers and the men of valour of Shomeron, and says, What work these languid Yah Hudiym? Forsake they to themselves? Sacrifice they? Finish they in a day? Enliven they the stones from the heaps of the dust that are burnt?

And Tobi Yah the Ammoniy is by him, and he says, Whatever they build, if a fox ascends, even he splits their stone wall.

Hear, O our Elohim; for we are disrespected: turn their reproach on their own head and give them for plunder in the land of captivity: and neither cover their perversity nor wipe away their sin from your face: for they vex you in front of the builders.

8 9

And he spake before said at the face of his brethren and the army men of valour of Samaria Shomeron, and said, What do work these feeble Jews languid Yah Hudiym? will shall they fortify be left to themselves? will shall they sacrifice? will shall they make an end finish in a day? will shall they revive enliven the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish dust which are burned? Now Tobiah Tobi Yah the Ammonite Ammoniy was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up ascend, he shall even break down split their stone wall. Hear, O our God Elohim; for we are despised disrespected: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey plunder in the land of captivity: And cover not their iniquity perversity, and let not their sin be blotted out wiped away from before thee thy face: for they have provoked vexed thee to anger before in front of the builders. So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined bound together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind heart to work. But And so be it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah Tobi Yah, and the Arabians Arabiy, and the Ammonites Ammoniy, and the Ashdodites Ashdodiy, heard that the walls of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem were made up ascended, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth mightily inflamed, And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and to hinder work error to it. Nevertheless we made our prayer prayed unto our God Elohim, and set a watch stood an underguard against them by day and by night, because of them at their face. THE YAH HUDIYM DISCOURAGED And Judah Yah Hudah said, The strength force of the bearers of burdens burdenbearers is decayed faltered, and there is much rubbish dust aboundeth; so that we are not able to build the wall. And our adversaries tribulators said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay slaughter them, and cause the work to cease. And so be it came to pass, that when the Jews Yah Hudiym which dwelt settled by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us — they will be upon you. Therefore set stood I in the lower nether parts of the places behind the wall, and on the higher places clearing, Yes, I even set stood the people after their families with their swords, their spears javelins, and their bows. And I looked saw, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers prefects, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them Awe ye not at their face: remember the Lord Adonay, which is great and terrible awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives women, and your houses. And so be it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God Elohim had brought broken their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one each man unto his work. And so be it came to pass, from that time forth day, that the half of my servants lads wrought worked in the work,

And we build the wall; and all the wall is bound to the half thereof: for the people have a heart to work. And so be it, Sanballat and Tobi Yah and the Arabiy and the Ammoniy and the Ashdodiy hear the walls of Yeru Shalem are ascended and the breaches begin to stop; and they inflame mightily; and all together they conspire to come and fight Yeru Shalem and work error to it: and we pray to our Elohim and stand an underguard against them by day and by night, at their face. THE YAH HUDIYM DISCOURAGED And Yah Hudah says, The force of the burdenbearers falters and dust abounds so that we are not able to build the wall: and our tribulators say they neither know nor see, until we come among them and slaughter them and cease the work.

And so be it, the Yah Hudiym who settle by them come, and say to us ten times, From all places wherever you return to us — .

And I stand in the nether parts of the places behind the wall and on the clearing — yes, I stand the people by their families with their swords, their javelins and their bows: and I see and rise and say to the nobles and to the prefects and to the rest of the people, Awe not at their face! Remember Adonay — great and awesome! And fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your women and your houses!

and the other half of them held both the spears javelins, the shields bucklers, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers governors were behind all the house of Judah Yah Hudah. They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands hand wrought worked in the work, and with the other one hand held a weapon spear. For the builders, every one each man had his sword girded by bound on his side loins, and so builded. And he that sounded blast the trumpet shophar was by me. And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great abundant and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one man far from another brother. In what place therefore ye hear the sound voice of the trumpet shophar, resort gather ye thither unto us: our God Elohim shall fight for us. So we laboured worked in the work: and half of them held the spears javelins from the rising ascending of the morning dawn till the stars appeared went. Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one each man with his servant lad lodge stay overnight within Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, that in the night they may be a guard an underguard to us, and labour work on the day. So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants lads, nor the men of the guard underguard which followed after me, none of us put off stripped our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing each man went with his spear for water. THE YAH HUDIYM ARE REGRETFUL And there was became a great cry of the people and of their wives women against their brethren the Jews Yah Hudiym. Yes, For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn crop for them, that we may eat, and live. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged pledged our lands fields, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn take crop, because of the dearth famine. There were also that said, We have borrowed money silver for the king's tribute sovereign's measure, and that upon our lands fields and vineyards. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children sons as their children sons: and, lo behold, we bring into bondage subdue our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage subdued already: neither is it in our power the El of our hands to redeem them; for other men have our lands fields and vineyards. And I was very angry mighty inflamed when I heard their cry and these words. Then I consulted my heart reigned with myself, and I rebuked contended with the nobles, and the rulers prefects, and said unto them, Ye exact usury bear interest, every one each man of his brother. And I set gave a great assembly congregation against them. And I said unto them, We after our ability sufficiency have redeemed chatteled our brethren the Jews Yah Hudiym which were sold unto the heathen goyim; and will shall ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace they hushed, and found nothing to answer no word.

and the other half of them hold both the javelins, the bucklers and the bows and the habergeons; and the governors are behind all the house of Yah Hudah. 17

20 21

They who build on the wall and they who bear burdens, and they who load, with one hand work in the work and with one hold a spear: for the builders — each man has his sword bound on his loins and thus builds; and he who blasts the shophar is by me. And I say to the nobles and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is abundant and large and we are separated on the wall — man far from brother: in the place you hear the voice of the shophar, gather there to us: our Elohim fights for us. And we work in the work: and half of them hold the javelins from the ascending of the dawn until the stars come. Likewise at the same time I say to the people, Each man with his lad — stay overnight inside Yeru Shalem — to be our underguard in the night and work by day. So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my lads, nor the men of the underguard after me — none of us strips our clothes; each man goes for water with his spear. THE YAH HUDIYM ARE REGRETFUL And so be it, a great cry of the people and of their women against their brothers the Yah Hudiym.

Yes, they who say, We, our sons and our daughters, are many; and we take crop to eat and live.

And they who say, We pledge our fields, vineyards and houses, to take crop for the famine.

And they who say, We borrowed silver on our fields and vineyards for the measure of the sovereign: and now, our flesh is as the flesh of our brothers — our sons as their sons: and, behold, we subdue our sons and our daughters to be servants and some of our daughters are subdued: and El is not in our hands: for other men have our fields and vineyards.

6 7

And I inflame mightily when I hear their cry and these words: and my heart reigns over me and I contend with the nobles and the prefects, and say to them, You bear interest — each man of his brother: and I give a great congregation against them. And I say to them, With our ability we chatteled our brothers the Yah Hudiym who were sold to the goyim; And you, sell your brothers? — sell to us? — and they hush and find no word.

Also I said, The word that ye work It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear awe of our God Elohim because of the reproach of the heathen goyim our enemies? I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants lads, might exact of them money silver and corn crop: I pray beseech you, let us leave off this usury interest. Restore, I pray beseech you, to them, even this day, their lands fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money silver, and of the corn crop, the wine juice, and the oil, that ye exact of them. Then said they, We will shall restore them, and will require nothing shall seek naught of them; so will shall we do work as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of oathed them, that they should do work according to this promise word. Also I shook my lap bosom, and said, So God Elohim shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth raiseth not this promise word, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the L ORD halaled Yah Veh. And the people did worked according to this promise word. Moreover from the time day that I was appointed misvahed to be their governor in the land of Judah Yah Hudah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes Artach Shashta the king sovereign, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. But the former governors that had been before me at my face were chargeable heavy unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea however, even their servants lads bare rule dominated over the people: but so did worked not I, because at the face of the fear awe of God Elohim. Yea, also I continued held fast in the work of this wall, neither bought chatteled we any land field: and all my servants lads were gathered thither unto the work. Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty men of the Jews Yah Hudiym and rulers prefects, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen goyim that are round about us. Now that which was prepared worked for me daily one day was one ox and six choice sheep pure flock; also fowls birds were prepared worked for me, and once in ten days store abundance of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required sought not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage service was heavy upon this people. Think Remember upon me, my God Elohim, for good, according to all that I have done worked for this people. THE YAH HUDIYM ACCUSED Now And so be it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah Tobi Yah, and Geshem the Arabian Arabiy, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left remaining therein; (though at however until that time I had not set up stood the doors upon the gates portals;) That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet congregate together in some one of the villages in the plain valley of Ono. But they thought fabricated to do work me mischief evil.

10 11

And I say, The word you work is not good: ought you not to walk in the awe of our Elohim because of the reproach of the goyim our enemies? And also I — and my brothers and my lads, exact silver and crop of them: I beseech you, leave off this interest: restore to them, I beseech you, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards and their houses, silver to the hundredth, and of the crop, the juice and the oil, you exacted of them. And they say, We restore them and seek naught of them; thus we work as you say. And I call the priests and oath them to work according to this word: and I shake my bosom and say, Thus may Elohim shake every man from his house and from his labor who raises not this word — even thus be he shaken out and emptied. And all the congregation says, Amen! — and halals Yah Veh; and the people work according to this word.

Also from the day he misvahed me to be their governor in the land of Yah Hudah — from the twentieth year even to the thirty—second year of Artach Shashta the sovereign — twelve years, I and my brothers eat not the bread of the governor: the former governors at my face are heavy to the people and take bread and wine of them, besides forty shekels of silver; also their lads dominate over the people: but I work not thus at the face of the awe of Elohim: and I also hold fast in the work of this wall: we chattel no field: and all my lads gather there to the work.

And of the Yah Hudiym and prefects, there are a hundred and fifty men at my table beside those who come to us from among the goyim all around us.

And here is what is worked for one day: one ox and six pure flock; and birds are worked for me; and once in ten days an abundance of all sorts of wine: yet for all this I seek not the bread of the governor; because the service is heavy on this people.

Remember on me, my Elohim, for good, according to all I work for this people.

THE YAH HUDIYM ACCUSED And so be it, Sanballat and Tobi Yah and Geshem the Arabiy and the rest of our enemies hear I built the wall with no breach remaining therein — also until that time I had not stood the doors on the portals; and Sanballat and Geshem send to me, saying, Come, congregate with us in the villages in the valley of Ono. — and they fabricate to work me evil.

And I sent messengers angels unto them, saying, I am doing working a great work, so that I cannot come down descend: why should the work cease, whilst I leave slacken it, and come down descend to you? Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort word; and I answered returned them after the same manner word. Then sent Sanballat his servant lad unto me in like manner word the fifth time with an open letter epistle in his hand; Wherein was written inscribed, It is reported heard among the heathen goyim, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews Yah Hudiym think fabricate to rebel: for which cause thus thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king sovereign, according to these words. And thou hast also appointed stood prophets to preach call out of thee at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, saying, There is a king sovereign in Judah Yah Hudah: and now shall it be reported heard to by the king sovereign according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done words as thou sayest, but thou feignest contrivest them out of thine own heart. For they all made awe us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened slacken from the work, that it be not done worked. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah Shema Yah the son of Delaiah Dela Yah the son of Mehetabeel Mehetab El, who was shut up restrained; and he said, Let us meet congregate together in the house of God Elohim, within the temple manse, and let us shut the doors of the temple manse: for they will shall come to slay slaughter thee; yea, in the night will shall they come to slay slaughter thee. And I said, should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would should go into the temple manse to save his life live? I will shall not go in. And, lo behold, I perceived recognized that God Elohim had not sent him; but that he pronounced worded this prophecy against me: for Tobiah Tobi Yah and Sanballat had hired him. Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid awed, and do work so, and sin, and that they might have matter become for an evil report name, that they might reproach me. My God Elohim, think remember thou upon Tobiah Tobi Yah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah Noad Yah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear should have me awe. So the wall was finished shalamed in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. And so be it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen goyim that were round about us saw these things, they were much cast down mightily fallen in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought worked of our God Elohim.

And I send angels to them, saying, I work a great work, that I cannot descend: why cease the work — slacken it to descend to you? — and they send me this word four times; and I return the same word. And Sanballat sends his lad to me in like word a fifth time with an open epistle in his hand; wherein is inscribed, It is heard among the goyim; and Gashmu says it, that you and the Yah Hudiym fabricate to rebel: so you build the wall — to be their sovereign — according to these words: and you also stand prophets to call for you at Yeru Shalem, saying, There is a sovereign in Yah Hudah: and now the sovereign hears these words: come now, and we counsel together. And I send to him, saying, There are no such words as you say but you contrive them from your own heart: for they all awe us, saying, Their hands slacken from the work, that it is not worked: and now, my hands strengthen.

And I come to the house of Shema Yah the son of Dela Yah the son of Mehetab El who is restrained; and he says, Congregate us in the house of Elohim inside the manse and shut the doors of the manse: for they come to slaughter you; yes, in the night they come to slaughter you.

And I say, Such a man as I — flee? And who — who am I to go into the manse to live? I go not in.

And, behold, I recognize that Elohim sent him not; but that he words this prophecy against me: for Tobi Yah and Sanballat hired him — a hireling to awe me — to work thus and sin and that they are for an evil name — to reproach me.

13 14

My Elohim, remember on Tobi Yah and Sanballat according to these their works; and on the prophetess Noad Yah and the rest of the prophets that they awe me.

And they shalam the wall in the twenty—fifth of Elul — in fifty—two days. And so be it, all our enemies hear and all the goyim all around us see and they fall mightily in their own eyes: for they perceive that this work is worked of our Elohim.

Also in those days the nobles of Yah Hudah abound passing their epistles to Tobi Yah; and they of Tobi Yah come to them.

For many masters in Yah Hudah oath to him because he is the son in law of Shechan Yah the son of Arach; and his son Yah Hanan took the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berech Yah.

You are he, Yah Veh alone; you worked the heavens — the heavens of the heavens and all their host; the earth and all thereon; the seas and all therein; and you enliven them all; and the host of the heavens prostrates to you. You — Yah Veh Elohim, who chose Abram and brought him from Ur of the Kasdiy and set on him the name, Abraham; and found his heart amenable at your face and cut a covenant with him to give the land of the Kenaaniy, the Hethiy, the Emoriy and the Perizziy and the Yebusiy and the Girgashiy — to give to his seed; and to raise your words; for you are just: and see the humiliation of our fathers in Misrayim and hear their cry by the Reed sea;

And shewedst gavest signs and wonders omens upon Pharaoh Paroh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly seethed against them. So didst thou get work thee a name, as it is this day. And thou didst divide split the sea before them at their face, so that they went passed through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors pursuers thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty strong waters. Moreover thou leddest them in the by day by a cloudy pillar of cloud; and in the by night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. Thou camest down descendest also upon mount Sinai Sinay, and spakest wordest with them from heaven the heavens, and gavest them right straight judgments, and true laws torahs, good statutes and commandments misvoth: And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath shabbath, and commandedst misvahedst them precepts misvoth, statutes, and laws torah, by the hand of Moses Mosheh thy servant: And gavest them bread from heaven the heavens for their hunger famine, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst saidst to them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn lifted thy hand to give them. But they and our fathers dealt proudly seethed, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments misvoth, And refused to obey hearken, neither were mindful of remembered thy wonders marvels that thou didst workedst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain gave a head to return to their bondage servitude: but thou art a God ready to pardon an Elohah of forgivenesses, gracious charismatic and merciful, slow to anger wrath, and of great kindness mercy, and forsookest them not. Yea, when they had made worked them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God Elohim that brought ascended thee up out of Egypt Misrayim, and had wrought worked great provocations scornings; Yet thou in thy manifold abundant mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed turned not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go. Thou gavest also thy good spirit Spirit to instruct have them comprehend, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing naught; their clothes waxed not old wore not out, and their feet swelled not. Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms sovereigndoms and nations people, and didst divide allottedst them into corners to the edges: so they possessed the land of Sihon Sichon, and the land of the king sovereign of Heshbon, and the land of Og king sovereign of Bashan. Their children sons also multipliedst aboundedst thou as the stars of heaven the heavens, and broughtest them into the land,

and give signs and omens on Paroh and on all his servants and on all the people of his land: for you knew they seethed against them: and you worked yourself a name, as this day: and you split the sea at their face so that they passed through midst the sea on the dry; and threw their pursuers into the deeps as a stone into the strong waters: and you led them by day by a pillar of cloud; and by night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein to go: and you descended on mount Sinay and worded with them from the heavens and gave them straight judgments and true torahs, good statutes and misvoth: and had them know your holy shabbath; and misvahed them your misvoth, statutes and torah, by the hand of Mosheh your servant: and gave them bread from the heavens for their famine; and brought them water from the rock for their thirst; and said to them to go in to possess the land which you lifted your hand to give them. And they and our fathers seethed and hardened their necks and hearkened not to your misvoth and refused to hearken; and remembered not the marvels you worked among them and hardened their necks; and in their rebellion gave a head to return them to their servitude. But you are an Elohah of forgivenesses, charismatic and merciful, slow to wrath and of great mercy and forsook them not.

Also, they worked themselves a molten calf and said, This is your Elohim who ascends you from Misrayim; and works great scornings; yet you in your abundant mercies forsook them not in the wilderness: neither turned the pillar of the cloud from them by day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to lead them in the way; nor the pillar of fire by night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to show them light and the way to go. You gave also your good Spirit to have them comprehend and withheld not your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst: yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness so that they neither lacked; nor wore out their clothes nor swelled their feet. And you gave them sovereigndoms and people and allotted them to the edges: and they possessed the land of Sichon and the land of the sovereign of Heshbon and the land of Og sovereign of Bashan: and you abounded their sons as the stars of the heavens; and brought them to the land,

concerning which thou hadst promised said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it. So the children sons went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them at their face the inhabitants settlers of the land, the Canaanites Kenaaniy, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings sovereigns, and the people of the land, that they might do work with them as they would pleased. And they took strong captured cut off cities, and a fat land soil, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged hewed, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit food trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled satisfied, and became fat fattened, and delighted pleased themselves in thy great goodness. Nevertheless they were disobedient rebellious, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law torah behind their backs, and slew slaughtered thy prophets which testified witnessed against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought worked great provocations scornings. Therefore thou deliveredst gavest them into the hand of their enemies tribulators, who vexed tribulated them: and in the time of their trouble tribulation, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven the heavens; and according to thy manifold abundant mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies tribulators. But after they had rest rested, they did returned to work evil again before thee at thy face: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over subjugated them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven the heavens; and many times didst thou deliver rescue them according to thy mercies; And testifiedst witnessedst against them, that thou mightest bring return them again unto thy law torah: yet they dealt proudly seethed, and hearkened not unto thy commandments misvoth, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do human work, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the they gave a revolting shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear hearkened not. Yet many years didst thou forbear draw them, and testifiedst witnessedst against them by thy spirit Spirit in the hand of thy prophets: yet would they not give ear they hearkened not: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume fully work them over, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious charismatic and merciful God El. Now therefore, our God Elohim, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God awesome El, who keepest guardest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little travail diminish before thee at thy face, that hath come been found upon us, on our kings sovereigns, on our princes governors, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time day of the kings sovereigns of Assyria Ashshur unto this day. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right worked true, but we have done wickedly:

concerning which you said to their fathers, to go in to possess it: and the sons came in and possessed the land and you subdued at their face the settlers of the land — the Kenaaniy and gave them into their hands — with their sovereigns and the people of the land — to work with them as they pleased: and they captured cut off cities and a fat soil and possessed houses full of all goods, wells hewed, vineyards and oliveyards and food trees in abundance: so they ate and satisfied and fattened and pleased themselves in your great goodness: and they were rebellious and rebelled against you and cast your torah behind their backs and slaughtered your prophets who witnessed against them to turn them to you: and they worked great scornings: and you gave them into the hand of their tribulators who tribulated them: and in the time of their tribulation they cried to you; and you heard from the heavens; and according to your abundant mercies you gave them saviours to save them from the hand of their tribulators: and they rested; and returned to work evil at your face: and you left them in the hand of their enemies to subjugate them: and they returned and cried to you and you heard from the heavens; and many times you rescued them according to your mercies: and witnessed against them to return them to your torah: and they seethe and hearken not to your misvoth; but sin against your judgments — which if a human work, he lives in them; and they gave a revolting shoulder and hardened their neck and hearkened not: and for many years you draw them and witness against them by your Spirit in the hand of your prophets; and they hearkened not: so you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands. and for sake of your great mercies you neither fully worked them over, nor forsook them; for you are a charismatic and merciful El.

And now, our Elohim El — the great, the mighty and the awesome — who guards covenant and mercy, diminish not from your face all the travail that found us — on our sovereigns, on our governors and on our priests and on our prophets and on our fathers and on all your people since the day of the sovereigns of Ashshur to this day.

These were in the days of Joiakim Yah Yaqim the son of Jeshua Yah Shua, the son of Jozadak Yah Sadaq, and in the days of Nehemiah Nechem Yah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe. HANUKKAH OF THE WALL OF YERU SHALEM And at the dedication hanukkah of the wall of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem they sought the Levites Leviym out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, to keep work the dedication hanukkah with gladness cheer, both with thanksgivings spread hands, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries bagpipes, and with harps. And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country environs of the land round about Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and from the villages courts of Netophathi; Also from the house of Gilgal Hag Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages courts round about Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. And the priests and the Levites Leviym purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates portals, and the wall. Then I brought up ascended the princes governors of Judah Yah Hudah upon the wall, and appointed stood two great companies of them that gave thanks spreaders of hands, whereof one went — processions on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate dunghill portal: And after them went Hoshaiah Hosha Yah, and half of the princes governors of Judah Yah Hudah, And Azariah Azar Yah, Ezra, and Meshullam, Judah Yah Hudah, and Benjamin Ben Yamin, and Shemaiah Shema Yah, and Jeremiah Yirme Yah, And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah Zechar Yah the son of Jonathan Yah Nathan, the son of Shemaiah Shema Yah, the son of Mattaniah Mattan Yah, the son of Michaiah Michah Yah, the son of Zaccur Zakkur, the son of Asaph: And his brethren, Shemaiah Shema Yah, and Azarael Azar El, Milalai Milalay, Gilalai Gilalay, Maai, Nethaneel Nethan El, and Judah Yah Hudah, Hanani, with the musical instruments instruments of song of David the man of God Elohim, and Ezra the scribe before them at their face.

And the other second company of them that gave thanks spreaders of hands went over against opposite them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall; And from above the gate portal of Ephraim Ephrayim, and above the old gate portal, and above the fish gate portal, and the tower of Hananeel Hanan El, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate flock portal: and they stood still in the prison gate guard yard portal.

And the singers sang loud voiced to be heard, with Jezrahiah Yizrach Yah their overseer. Also that day they offered sacrificed great sacrifices, and rejoiced cheered: for God Elohim had made them rejoice cheer with great joy cheer: the wives women also and the children rejoiced cheered: so that the joy cheer of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem was heard even afar off. And at that time day were some appointed over men to oversee the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings exaltments, for the firstfruits firstlings, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions allotments of the law torah for the priests and Levites Leviym: for Judah rejoiced the cheer of Yah Hudah for the priests and for the Levites Leviym that waited stood. And both the singers and the porters kept guarded the ward guard of their God Elohim, and the ward guard of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon Shelomoh his son. For in the days of David and Asaph of old antiquity there were chief heads of the singers, and songs of praise halal and thanksgiving spread hands unto God Elohim. And all Israel Yisra El in the days of Zerubbabel Zerub Babel and in the days of Nehemiah Nechem Yah, gave the portions allotments of the singers and the porters, every day day by day his portion word: and they sanctified holy things hallowed unto the Levites Leviym; and the Levites sanctified Leviym hallowed them unto the children sons of Aaron Aharon. MONGRELS SEPARATED FROM YISRA EL On that day they read called out in the book scroll of Moses Mosheh in the audience ears of the people; and therein was found written inscribed that the Ammonite Ammoniy and the Moabite Moabiy should not come into the congregation of God Elohim for ever eternally; Because they met anticipated not the children sons of Israel Yisra El with bread and with water, but hired Balaam Bilam against them, that he should curse abase them: howbeit our God Elohim turned the curse abasement into a blessing. Now And so be it came to pass, when they had heard the law torah, that they separated from Israel Yisra El all the mixed multitude mongrels. And before at the face of this, Eliashib El Yashib the priest, having given the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God Elohim, was allied near unto Tobiah Tobi Yah: And he had prepared worked for him a great chamber, where aforetime formerly they laid gave the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels instruments, and the tithes of the corn crop, the new wine juice, and the oil, which was commanded to be given the misvah to of the Levites Leviym, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings exaltments of the priests. But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: for in the two and thirtieth year

El Yaqim, Maase Yah, Min Yamin, Michah Yah, El Ya Enay, Zechar Yah and Hanan Yah with trumpets; and Maase Yah and Shema Yah and El Azar and Uzzi and Yah Hanan and Malki Yah and Elam and Ezer; and the singers voice to be heard, with Yizrach Yah their overseer.

And that day they sacrifice great sacrifices and cheer: for Elohim cheers them with great cheer: and also the women and the children cheer: so that the cheer of Yeru Shalem is heard afar off.

And at that day, men oversee the chambers for the treasures, for the exaltments, for the firstlings and for the tithes — to gather into them from the fields of the cities the allotments of the torah for the priests and Leviym: for the cheer of Yah Hudah for the priests and for the Leviym who stand. And both the singers and the porters guard the guard of their Elohim and the guard of the purification according to the commandment of David and of Shelomoh his son; for in the days of David and Asaph of antiquity there are heads of the singers and songs of halal and spread hands to Elohim.

And all Yisra El in the days of Zerub Babel and in the days of Nechem Yah give the allotments of the singers and the porters — his day by day word: and they hallow to the Leviym; and the Leviym hallow to the sons of Aharon. MONGRELS SEPARATED FROM YISRA EL On that day, they call out in the scroll of Mosheh in the ears of the people; and they find inscribed therein that the Ammoniy and the Moabiy are not to come into the congregation of Elohim eternally; because they anticipated not the sons of Yisra El with bread and with water; but hired Bilam against them to abase them: and our Elohim turns the abasement into a blessing. And so be it, when they hear the torah, they separate all the mongrels from Yisra El: and at the face of this, El Yashib the priest gives the oversight of the chamber of the house of our Elohim to one near to Tobi Yah: and he works himself a great chamber where they formerly gave the offerings — the frankincense and the instruments and the tithes of the crop — the juice and the oil the misvah of the Leviym and the singers and the porters; and the exaltments of the priests.

of Artaxerxes Artach Shashta king sovereign of Babylon Babel came I unto the king sovereign, and after certain at the end of days obtained I leave I asked of the king sovereign: And I came to Jerusalem Yeru Shalem, and understood discerned of the evil that Eliashib did El Yashib worked for Tobiah unto Tobi Yah, in preparing working him a chamber in the courts of the house of God Elohim. And it grieved me sore was mighty evil to me: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff instruments to Tobiah Tobi Yah out of the chamber. Then I commanded said, and they cleansed purified the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels instruments of the house of God Elohim, with the meat offering and the frankincense. And I perceived that the portions allotments of the Levites Leviym had not been given them: for the Levites Leviym and the singers, that did worked the work, were fled every one each man to his field. Then contended I with the rulers prefects, and said, Why is the house of God Elohim forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set stood them in their place station. Then brought all Judah Yah Hudah the tithe of the corn crop and the new wine juice and the oil unto the treasuries. And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah Shelem Yah the priest, and Zadok Sadoq the scribe, and of the Levites Leviym, Pedaiah Pedah Yah: and next to them at their hand was Hanan the son of Zaccur Zakkur, the son of Mattaniah Mattan Yah: for they were counted faithful fabricated amenable, and their office was to distribute allot unto their brethren. Remember me, O my God Elohim, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds mercies that I have done worked for the house of my God Elohim, and for the offices underguard thereof. In those days saw I in Judah Yah Hudah some treading wine presses on the sabbath shabbath, and bringing in sheaves heaps, and lading asses he burros; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem Yeru Shalem on the sabbath shabbath day: and I testified against them witnessed in the day wherein they sold victuals hunt. There dwelt men of Tyre settled the Soriy also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware price, and sold on the sabbath shabbath unto the children sons of Judah Yah Hudah, and in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem. Then I contended with the nobles of Judah Yah Hudah, and said unto them, What evil thing word is this that ye do work, and profane the sabbath shabbath day? Did Worked not your fathers thus, and did not our God Elohim bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath add fuming upon Israel Yisra El by profaning the sabbath shabbath. And so be it came to pass, that when the gates portals of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem began to be dark overshadow before at the face of the sabbath shabbath, I commanded said that the gates should be shut, and charged said that they should not be opened till after the sabbath shabbath: and some of my servants lads set stood I at the gates portals, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath shabbath day. So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware sold

of Artach Shashta sovereign of Babel I come to the sovereign; and at the end of days I ask of the sovereign: and I come to Yeru Shalem and discern the evil El Yashib works to Tobi Yah — in working him a chamber in the courts of the house of Elohim: and it is mighty evil to me: and I cast out all the household instruments to Tobi Yah from the chamber. Then I say — and they purify the chambers: and I bring again the instruments of the house of Elohim with the offering and the frankincense: and I perceive that the allotments of the Leviym have not been given them: for the Leviym and the singers who work the work flee — each man to his field.

Then I contend with the prefects and say, Why is the house of Elohim forsaken? — and I gather them and stand them in their station.

And all Yah Hudah brings the tithe of the crop and the juice and the oil to the treasuries.

And treasurers over the treasuries: Shelem Yah the priest and Sadoq the scribe and Pedah Yah of the Leviym; and at their hand: Hanan the son of Zakkur the son of Mattan Yah; for they are fabricated as amenable and their office is to allot to their brothers.

Remember me, O my Elohim, concerning this; and wipe not out the mercies I worked for the house of my Elohim and for its underguard.

In those days in Yah Hudah I see them treading wine presses on the shabbath — and bringing in heaps and lading he burros and also wine, grapes and figs and all the burdens they bring into Yeru Shalem on the shabbath day: and I witness the day they sell hunt: and the Soriy settle therein bringing fish and all manner of price and sell on the shabbath to the sons of Yah Hudah and in Yeru Shalem.

And I contend with the nobles of Yah Hudah and say to them, What evil word is this that you work and profane the shabbath day? Worked not your fathers thus and brought not our Elohim all this evil on us and on this city? And you add fuming on Yisra El by profaning the shabbath.

And so be it, the portals of Yeru Shalem begin to overshadow at the face of the shabbath, and I say to shut the gates and say to not open until after the shabbath: and I stand my lads at the portals, that no burden is brought in on the shabbath day.

Then I testified witnessed against them, and said unto them, Why lodge stay ye overnight about over against the wall? if ye do so again repeat, I will lay shall spread hands on you. From that time forth came they no more not on the sabbath shabbath. And I commanded said to the Levites Leviym that they should cleanse purify themselves, and that they should come and keep guard the gates portals, to sanctify hallow the sabbath shabbath day. Remember me, O my God Elohim, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy. In those days also saw I Jews Yah Hudiym that had married wives settled with women of Ashdod Ashdodiy, of Ammon Ammoniy, and of Moab Moabiy: And their children sons spake worded half in the speech of Ashdod, and could recognized not speak to word in the Jews' language Yah Hudaic, but according to the language of each people by people. And I contended with them, and cursed abased them, and smote certain men of them, and plucked off their hair baldened them, and made them swear oath by God Elohim, saying, ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take bear their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. Did not Solomon Shelomoh, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El sin by these things? yet among many nations goyim was there no king sovereign like him, who was beloved of his God Elohim, and God made Elohim gave him king sovereign over all Israel Yisra El: nevertheless even him did outlandish strange women cause to sin.

And one of the sons of Joiada Yah Yada, the son of Eliashib El Yashib the high great priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite Horoniy: therefore I chased fled him from me. Remember them, O my God Elohim, because they have defiled profaned the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites Leviym. Thus cleansed purified I them from all strangers, and appointed stationed the wards guards of the priests and the Levites Leviym, every one each man in his business work; And for the wood offering qorban of timber, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits firstlings.

Also in those days I see that the Yah Hudiym settle with women of Ashdodiy, of Ammoniy and of Moabiy: and their sons word half in the speech of Ashdod and recognize not to word in Yah Hudaic, but according to the language of people by people. And I contend with them and abase them and smite men of them and balden them and have them oath by Elohim, saying, Neither give your daughters to their sons nor bear their daughters to your sons or for yourselves. Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El — sinned he not by these? Yet among many goyim there is no sovereign like him — beloved of his Elohim; and Elohim gave him sovereign over all Yisra El: and strange women caused even him to sin. And hearken we to you to work all this great evil — to treason against our Elohim in settling with strange women?

And of the sons of Yah Yada, the son of El Yashib the great priest is son in law to Sanballat the Horoniy: and I flee him from me.

Remember them, O my Elohim, because they profane the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Leviym.

Thus I purify them from all strangers and station the guards of the priests and the Leviym — each man in his work; and for the qorban of timber, at times appointed, and for the firstlings.

Now it came to pass And so be it, in the days when the judges ruled judged, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah Beth Lechem Yah Hudah went to sojourn in the country fields of Moab, he, and his wife woman, and his two sons. And the name of the man was Elimelech Eli Melech, and the name of his wife Naomi woman Noomiy, and the name of his two sons Mahlon Machlon and Chilion Kilyon, Ephrathites Ephrathiym of Bethlehemjudah Beth Lechem Yah Hudah. And they came into the country fields of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech Eli Melech Naomi's husband Noomiy's man died; and she was left survived, and her two sons. And they took them wives of the bore women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other second Ruth: and they dwelled settled there about ten years. And Mahlon Machlon and Chilion Kilyon died also both of them; and the woman was left survived of her two sons children and her husband man. Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country fields of Moab: for she had heard in the country fields of Moab how that the L ORD Yah Veh had visited his people in giving them bread. Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah Yah Hudah. And Naomi Noomiy said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each woman to her mother's house: the L ORD deal kindly Yah Veh work mercy with you, as ye have dealt worked with the dead, and with me. The L ORD grant Yah Veh give you that ye may find rest, each of you woman in the house of her husband man. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. And they said unto her, Surely we will shall return with thee unto thy people.

RUTH AND NOOMIY And so be it, in the days the judges judge, a famine is in the land. And a man of Beth Lechem Yah Hudah goes to sojourn in the fields of Moab; he and his woman and his two sons. And the name of the man, Eli Melech and the name of his woman, Noomiy and the name of his two sons, Machlon and Kilyon — Ephrathiym of Beth Lechem Yah Hudah. And they come into the fields of Moab and continue there. And Eli Melech, the man of Noomiy dies; and she and her two sons survive. And they birth women of Moab; the name of the one, Orpah and the name of the second, Ruth; and they settle there about ten years. And both Machlon and Kilyon also die; and the woman survives her two children and her man. And she rises with her daughters in law, to return from the fields of Moab: for she heard that Yah Veh visits his people in the fields of Moab in giving them bread. So she goes with her two daughters in law from the place she was; and they go on the way to return to the land of Yah Hudah. And Noomiy says to her two daughters in law, Go, each woman, return to the house of your mother; Yah Veh work mercy with you, as you worked with the dead and with me. Yah Veh give you to find rest, each woman in the house of her man. — and she kisses them. And they lift their voice and weep and say to her, Surely we return with you to your people. And Noomiy says, Turn back, my daughters! Why go with me? Are there yet sons in my inwards to be your men? Turn back, my daughters! Go! For I am too old to have a man. If I say, I have hope, and even have a man tonight and even birth sons — await you them until they be grown? — ban yourselves from having men? No, my daughters; for it embitters me mightily for your sakes that the hand of Yah Veh goes against me. And they lift their voice and weep again; and Orpah kisses her mother in law; and Ruth adheres to her; and says, Behold, your sister in law returns to her people and to her elohim; you return after your sister in law. And Ruth says, Intercede not that I leave you, or return from following after you; for where you go, I go;

When she saw that she was stedfastly minded strengthened herself to go with her, then she left speaking ceased wording unto her. So they two went until they came to Bethlehem Beth Lechem. And so be it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem Beth Lechem, that all the city was moved quaked about them, and they said, Is this Naomi Noomiy? And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi Noomiy, call me Mara Bitter: for the Almighty Shadday hath dealt very bitterly with mightily embittered me. I went out full and the L ORD Yah Veh hath brought me home again empty turned me back: why then call ye me Naomi Noomiy, seeing the L ORD Yah Veh hath testified answered against me, and the Almighty Shadday hath afflicted vilified me? So Naomi Noomiy returned, and Ruth the Moabitess Moabiyth, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country fields of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem Beth Lechem in the beginning of barley harvest. RUTH AND BOAZ And Naomi Noomiy had a kinsman kin of her husband's man, a mighty man of wealth valuables, of the family of Elimelech Eli Melech; and his name was Boaz. And Ruth the Moabitess Moabiyth said unto Naomi Noomiy, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight eyes I shall find grace charism. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers harvesters: and her hap was happening happened to light on a part an allotment of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred family of Elimelech Eli Melech. And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem Beth Lechem, and said unto the reapers harvesters, The L ORD Yah Veh be with you. And they answered said to him, The L ORD Yah Veh bless thee. Then said Boaz unto his servant lad that was set stationed over the reapers harvesters, Whose damsel lass is this? And the servant lad that was set stationed over the reapers harvesters answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel lass that came back returned with Naomi Noomiy out of the country fields of Moab: And she said, I pray beseech you, let me glean and gather after the reapers harvesters among the sheaves omers: so she came, and hath continued stayed even from the morning until now, that she tarried settled a little in the house. Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go pass from hence, but abide adhere here fast by my maidens lasses: Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap harvest,

and where you stay overnight, I stay overnight; your people are my people and your Elohim, my Elohim; where you die, I die and there I entomb; Yah Veh work to me and add also, if aught but death separate you and me. And she sees that she strengthens herself to go with her; and she ceases wording to her. And the two go until they come to Beth Lechem. And so be it, they come to Beth Lechem, and the whole city quakes about them and they say, Is this Noomiy?

And she says to them, Call me not Noomiy/Pleasant; call me Bitter; for Shadday has mightily embittered me. I go out full and Yah Veh turns me back. Why call me Noomiy, seeing Yah Veh answers against me and Shadday vilifies me?

And Noomiy returns with her daughter in law, Ruth the Moabiyth who return from the fields of Moab; and they come to Beth Lechem in the beginning of barley harvest.

And Noomiy has a kin of her man; a mighty man of valuables of the family of Eli Melech; and his name, Boaz.

And Ruth the Moabiyth says to Noomiy, Let me go, I beseech, to the field and glean ears after him in whose eyes I find charism.

And she says to her, Go, my daughter. 3

And she goes and comes and gleans in the field after the harvesters; and her happening happens to light on an allotment of the field to Boaz of the family of Eli Melech.

And, behold, Boaz comes from Beth Lechem and says to the harvesters, Yah Veh be with you. And they say to him, Yah Veh bless you.

Then Boaz says to his lad who is stationed over the harvesters, Whose lass is this?

And the lad stationed over the harvesters answers and says, The Moabitish lass who returned with Noomiy from the fields of Moab; and she says, I beseech you, let me glean and gather after the harvesters among the omers; so she comes and stays from the morning until now, and settles a little in the house.

And Boaz says to Ruth, Hear you not, my daughter? Neither go to glean in another field, nor pass from here; but adhere here by my lasses; may your eyes be on the field they harvest,

Then she fell on her face, and bowed prostrated herself to the ground earth, and said unto him, Why have I found grace charism in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of recognize me, seeing I am a stranger? And Boaz answered and said unto her, In being told, It hath fully been shewed told me, all that thou hast done worked unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband thy man: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore three yesters ago. The L ORD Yah Veh recompense shalam thy work deed, and a full reward complete hire be given thee of the L ORD God Yah Veh Elohim of Israel Yisra El, under whose wings thou art come to trust seek refuge. Then she said, Let me find favour charism in thy sight eyes, my lord adoni; for that thou hast comforted sighed over me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly worded to the heart unto thine handmaid thy maid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens thy maids. And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither foodtime approach, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar fermentation. And she sat settled beside the reapers harvesters: and he reached snatched her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed satisfied, and left remained. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded misvahed his young men lads, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves omers, and reproach shame her not: And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose of the spoilings, let fistfuls be spoiled for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out threshed that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. And she took lifted it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved which remained after she was sufficed satisfied. And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest workedst thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of recognized thee. And she shewed told her mother in law with whom she had wrought worked, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought worked to day is Boaz. And Naomi Noomiy said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the L ORD Yah Veh, who hath not left off forsaken his kindness mercy to the living and to the dead. And Naomi Noomiy said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen redeemers. And Ruth the Moabitess Moabiyth said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast stick by my young men lads, until they have ended finished all my harvest. And Naomi Noomiy said unto Ruth her daughter in law,

and you go after them. Misvahed I not the lads to not touch you? And when you thirst, go to the instruments and drink from what the lads bail. 10

And she falls on her face and prostrates herself to the earth and says to him, Why find I charism in your eyes, that you recognize me — and I, a stranger?

And Boaz answers and says to her, In being told, I am told, of all you worked to your mother in law after the death of your man; and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your nativity and come to a people you knew not three yesters ago. May Yah Veh shalam your deed and a complete hire be given you of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, under whose wings you come to seek refuge.

And she says, May I find charism in your eyes, my adoni; for sighing over me and for wording to the heart of your maid though I — I am not as one of your maids.

And Boaz says to her, Approach at food time and eat of the bread and dip your morsel in the fermentation. And she settles beside the harvesters; and he snatches her parched and she eats and is satisfied and remains.

And she rises to glean, and Boaz misvahs his lads, saying, Let her glean even among the omers and shame her not; and of the spoilings, let fistfuls be spoiled for her and leave them so that she gleans them — and rebuke her not. And she gleans in the field until evening and threshes what she gleaned — about an ephah of barley. And she lifts it and goes into the city; and her mother in law sees what she gleaned; and she brings and gives her what remained after she was satisfied. And her mother in law says to her, Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed — he who recognizes you. And she tells her mother in law whom she worked with, and says, The name of the man I worked with today, Boaz.

And Noomiy says to her daughter in law, Blessed — he of Yah Veh who forsakes not his mercy to the living and to the dead. And Noomiy says to her, The man is near to us — of our redeemers.

So she kept fast stuck by the maidens lasses of Boaz to glean unto the end finish of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt settled with her mother in law. BOAZ REDEEMS RUTH Then Naomi Noomiy her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with well—please thee?

It is good, my daughter, to go with his lasses, so that they not meet you in any other field. — and she sticks by the lasses of Boaz to glean the finish of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and settles with her mother in law. BOAZ REDEEMS RUTH And Noomiy her mother in law says to her, My daughter, seek I not rest for you, to well—please you? And now, is not Boaz of our kin, with whose lasses you were? Behold, he winnows barley in the threshingfloor tonight.

And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done worked to her. And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law. Then said she, Sit still Settle, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will word shall fall: for the man will shall not be in rest, until he have finished the thing word this day. BOAZ MARRIES RUTH Then went Boaz ascended up to the gate portal, and sat him down settled there: and, behold, the kinsman redeemer of whom Boaz spake worded came passed by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down settle here. And he turned aside, and sat down settled. And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit Settle ye down here. And they sat down settled. And he said unto the kinsman redeemer, Naomi Noomiy, that is come again returned out of the country fields of Moab, selleth a parcel an allotment of land field, which was our brother Elimelech's Eli Melech's: And I thought said to advertise thee expose in thine ear, saying, Buy it before Chattel in front of the inhabitants settlers, and before in front of the elders of my people. If thou wilt shalt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt shalt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside except thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will shall redeem it. Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest chattelest the field of the hand of Naomi Noomiy, thou must buy it chattelest also of Ruth the Moabitess Moabiyth, the wife woman of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. And the kinsman redeemer said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar ruin mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right redemption to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel at the face of Yisra El concerning redeeming and concerning changing exchanging, for to confirm all things words; a man plucked drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour friend: and this was a testimony witness in Israel Yisra El. Therefore the kinsman redeemer said unto Boaz, Buy it Chattel for thee. So he drew off his shoe. And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought chatteled all that was Elimelech's Eli Melech's, and all that was Chilion's Kilyon's and Mahlon's Machlon's, of the hand of Naomi Noomiy. Moreover Ruth the Moabitess Moabiyth, the wife woman of Mahlon Machlon, have I purchased chatteled to be my wife woman,

Give the cloak upon you, and hold it. — and she holds it, and he measures six barley and places it on her; and she goes to the city. 16

And she comes to her mother in law, and she says, Who are you, my daughter? — and she tells her all the man worked to her.

And she says, He gave me these six barley; for he says to me, Go not empty to your mother in law.

Then she says, Settle, my daughter, until you know how the word falls; for the man rests not until he finishes the word this day.

BOAZ MARRIES RUTH And Boaz ascends to the portal and settles there; and behold, the redeemer of whom Boaz worded passes by; to whom he says, Ho, such a one! Turn aside! Settle here! — and he turns aside and settles.

And he takes ten men of the elders of the city and says, You settle here. — and they settle.

And he says to the redeemer, Noomiy, who returned from the fields of Moab, sold an allotment of field, of our brother Eli Melech; and I say to expose in your ear, saying, Chattel in front of the settlers and in front of the elders of my people — if you redeem, redeem; but if you redeem not, then tell me, so that I know; for there is no one to redeem except you; and I after you.

And he says, I redeem. 5

And Boaz says, The day you chattel the field of the hand of Noomiy, you also chattel of Ruth the Moabiyth, the woman of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

And the redeemer says, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I ruin my own inheritance; redeem my redemption to yourself; for I cannot redeem it.

Now at the face of Yisra El concerning redeeming and concerning exchanging to confirm all words was this; a man draws his shoe and gives it to his friend; and this is the witness in Yisra El.

And the redeemer says to Boaz, Chattel for yourself. — and he draws off his shoe.

And Boaz says to the elders and to all the people, you are witnesses this day, that I chatteled all that of Eli Melech and all that of Kilyon and Machlon, of the hand of Noomiy; and I also chatteled Ruth the Moabiyth the woman of Machlon, to be my woman,

And all the people in the portal, and the elders, say, We are witnesses.

And Boaz takes Ruth and she becomes his woman; and he goes in to her and Yah Veh gives her conception and she births a son.

And the women say to Noomiy, Blessed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Yah Veh, who has not ceased you this day without a redeemer, to call out his name in Yisra El.

On the seventh day, when the heart of the sovereign is good with wine, he says to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha and Abagtha, Zethar and Karcas, the seven eunuchs who minister at the face of Achash Rosh the sovereign, to bring Vashti the sovereigness at the face of the sovereign with the diadem of the sovereigndom — for the people and the governors to see her beauty — for she is of good visage.

And the sovereigness Vashti refuses to come at the word of the sovereign by the hand of his eunuchs; and the sovereign enrages mightily, and his fury burns within him.

And the sovereign says to the wise men who know the times

And Memucan answered Memuchan said before at the face of the king sovereign and the princes governors, Vashti the queen sovereigness hath not done wrong bent to the king sovereign only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces jurisdictions of the king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh. For this deed word of the queen sovereigness shall come abroad go unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands masters in their eyes, when it shall be reported saying, The king Ahasuerus Sovereign Achash Rosh commanded said to Vashti the queen sovereigness to be brought in before him at his face, but she came not. Likewise shall the ladies governesses of Persia and Media Maday say this day unto all the king's princes sovereign's governors, which have heard of the deed word of the queen sovereigness. Thus shall there arise too much contempt enough despite and wrath rage. If it please be good with the king sovereign, let there go a royal commandment word of the sovereigndom from him his face, and let it be written inscribed among the laws edicts of the Persians and the Medes Maday, that it be not altered pass not away, That Vashti come no more before at the face of king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh; and let the king sovereign give her royal estate sovereigndom unto another her friend that is better than she.

And the saying word well—pleased the eyes of the king sovereign and the princes governors; and the king did sovereign worked according to the word of Memucan Memuchan: For he sent letters scrolls into all the king's provinces sovereign's jurisdictions, into every province — jurisdiction by jurisdiction according to the writing inscribing thereof, and to every people people by people after their language tongue, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published worded according to the language tongue of every people.

— for thus is the word of the sovereign at the face of all who know edict and pleading; and near to him, Karshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memuchan — the seven governors of Persia and Maday, who see the face of the sovereign — who settle first in the sovereigndom; What work we according to the edict to the sovereigness Vashti — because she works not the edict of the sovereign Achash Rosh by the hand of the eunuchs? And Memuchan at the face of the sovereign and the governors says, Vashti the sovereigness bends not to the sovereign only, but also to all the princes and to all the people in all the jurisdictions of the sovereign Achash Rosh. For this word of the sovereigness goes to all women, so that they despise their masters in their eyes, saying, Sovereign Achash Rosh said to bring Vashti the sovereigness at his face; but she comes not. Yes, this day the governesses of Persia and Maday say to all the governors of the sovereign who hear of the word of the sovereigness. Thus there rises enough despite and rage. If it be good with the sovereign, let a word of the sovereigndom go from his face — inscribed among the edicts of the Persians and the Maday that it not pass away, that Vashti come no more at the face of sovereign Achash Rosh; and that the sovereign give her sovereigndom to her friend who is better than she. And when the sentence the sovereign works is heard throughout all his sovereigndom, — for it is great all the women give their masters esteem; both to great and small. And the word well—pleases the eyes of the sovereign and the governors: and the sovereign works according to the word of Memuchan: and he sends scrolls to all the jurisdictions of the sovereign — jurisdiction by jurisdiction according to the inscribing thereof and to people by people after their tongue, that every man bears rule in his own house; and that it be worded according to the tongue of every people.

Then said the king's servants sovereign's lads that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young lasses of good visage — virgins sought for the king sovereign: And let the king sovereign appoint officers oversee overseers in all the provinces jurisdictions of his kingdom sovereigndom, that they may gather together all the fair young lasses of good visage — virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody hand of Hege the king's chamberlain sovereign's eunuch, keeper guard of the women; and let their things for purification be given them: And let the maiden lass which well—pleaseth the eyes of the king sovereign be queen reign instead of Vashti. And the thing word well—pleased the eyes of the king sovereign; and he did worked so. Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew man — a Yah Hudiy, whose name was Mordecai Mordekay, the son of Jair Yair, the son of Shimei Shimi, the son of Kish Qish, a Benjamite man of Ben Yamin; Who had been carried away exiled from Jerusalem Yeru Shalem with the captivity exile which had been carried away exiled with Jeconiah Yekon Yah king sovereign of Judah Yah Hudah, whom Nebuchadnezzar Nebukadnets Tsar the king sovereign of Babylon Babel had carried away exiled.

Esther Ester had not shewed told her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai Mordekay had charged misvahed her that she should not shew tell it. And Mordecai Mordekay walked every day by day before at the face of the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did the shalom of Ester, and what should become be worked of her.

And the lads of the sovereign who minister to him say, Seek out virgin lasses of good visage for the sovereign; and have the sovereign oversee overseers in all the jurisdictions of his sovereigndom, to gather all the virgin lasses of good visage to Shushan palace to the house of the women, to the hand of Hegai the eunuch of the sovereign, guard of the women; and give them their purification; and have the lass who well—pleases the eyes of the sovereign reign instead of Vashti. — and the word well—pleases the eyes of the sovereign; and thus he works. And there is a man in Shushan palace — a Yah Hudiy — his name, Mordekay the son of Yair the son of Shimi the son of Qish, a man of Ben Yamin who was exiled from Yeru Shalem with the exile which was exiled with Yekon Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, whom Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign of Babel exiled. And he fosters Hadassah, that is, Ester, the daughter of his uncle; for she has neither father nor mother and the lass is beautiful of form and good of visage; whom, when her father and mother died, Mordekay took for his own daughter.

In the evening she went, and on the morrow morning she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody hand of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain sovereign's eunuch, which kept guarded the concubines: she came in unto the king sovereign no more, except the king sovereign delighted in her, and that she were called by name. Now when the turn of Esther Ester, the daughter of Abihail Abi Hail the uncle of Mordecai Mordekay, who had taken her for his daughter, was come reached to go in unto the king sovereign, she required nothing sought no word but what Hegai the king's chamberlain sovereign's eunuch, the keeper guard of the women, appointed said. And Esther obtained favour Ester received charism in the sight eyes of all them that looked upon saw her. So Esther Ester was taken unto king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh into his house royal the house of his sovereigndom in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign sovereigndom.

And at the end of twelve months every lass reaches her turn to go in to sovereign Achash Rosh — according to the edict of the women, — for thus are the days of their purifications fulfilled; six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and with other purifications of the women — and thus the lasses come to the sovereign; and whatever she says is given her to go with her from the house of the women to the house of the sovereign. In the evening she goes; and in the morning she returns into the second house of the women to the hand of Shaashgaz the eunuch of the sovereign who guards the concubines; she comes in to the sovereign no more, unless the sovereign delights in her and calls her name. And the turn of Ester, the daughter of Abi Hail the uncle of Mordekay who took her for his daughter, is reached to go in to the sovereign; and she seeks no word but what Hegai the eunuch of the sovereign the guard of the women says. And Ester receives charism in the eyes of all who see her: and they take Ester to sovereign Achash Rosh to the house of his sovereigndom in the tenth month, the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his sovereigndom.

who told it unto Esther Ester the queen sovereigness; and Esther certified Ester said it to the king thereof sovereign in Mordecai's Mordekay's name. And when inquisition the word was made of the matter researched, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written inscribed in the book scroll of the chronicles words of the days before at the face of the king sovereign. HAMAN PLOTS AGAINST THE YAH HUDIY After these things words did king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh promote greatened Haman the son of Hammedatha Medatha the Agagite Agagiy, and advanced lifted him, and set his seat above all the princes governors that were with him. And all the king's sovereign's servants, that were in the king's gate sovereign's portal, bowed, and reverenced prostrated to Haman: for the king sovereign had so commanded misvahed concerning him. But Mordecai Mordekay bowed not, nor did him reverence prostrated. Then the king's sovereign's servants, which were in the king's gate sovereign's portal, said unto Mordecai Mordekay, Why transgressest trespassest thou the king's commandment sovereign's misvah? Now it came to pass And so be it, when they spake daily said day by day unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters Mordekay's words would should stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew Yah Hudiy. And when Haman saw that Mordecai Mordekay bowed not, nor did him reverence prostrated to him, then was Haman full of wrath filled with fury. And he thought scorn despicable in his eyes to lay send forth hands on Mordecai Mordekay alone; for they had shewed told him of the people of Mordecai Mordekay: wherefore Haman sought to destroy desolate all the Jews Yah Hudiym that were throughout the whole kingdom sovereigndom of Ahasuerus Achash Rosh, even the people of Mordecai Mordekay. In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh, they cast felled Pur, that is, the lot pebble, before at the face of Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh, There is a certain one people scattered abroad and dispersed spread among the people in all the provinces jurisdictions of thy kingdom sovereigndom; and their laws edicts are diverse from all people; neither keep work they the king's laws sovereign's edicts: therefore it is not equated for the king's profit sovereign to suffer allow them. If it please be good with the king sovereign, let it be written inscribed that they may be destroyed: and I will pay shall weigh ten thousand talents rounds of silver to the hands of those that have the charge the workers of the business work, to bring it into the king's sovereign's treasuries. And the king sovereign took twisted off his ring signet from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha Medatha the Agagite Agagiy, the Jews' enemy Yah Hudiym's tribulator. And the king sovereign said unto Haman,

who tells it to Ester the sovereigness; and Ester says it to the sovereign in the name of Mordekay. And they research the word, and find out; and hang them both on a tree; and inscribe it in the scroll of the words of the days at the face of the sovereign. HAMAN PLOTS AGAINST THE YAH HUDIY After these words sovereign Achash Rosh greatens Haman the son of Medatha the Agagiy and lifts him and sets his seat above all the governors with him. And all the servants of the sovereign in the portal of the sovereign bow and prostrate to Haman; for thus the sovereign misvahs concerning him. — and Mordekay neither bows nor prostrates.

And the servants of the sovereign in the portal of the sovereign say to Mordekay, Why trespass you the misvah of the sovereign?

And so be it, day by day they say to him; and he hearkens not to them, and they tell Haman to see whether the words of Mordekay stand; for he had told them that he is a Yah Hudiy.

And Haman sees that Mordekay neither bows nor prostrates to him; and Haman fills with fury: and it is despicable in his eyes to send forth hands on Mordekay by himself; for they tell him of the people of Mordekay; and Haman seeks to desolate all the Yah Hudiym throughout the whole sovereigndom of Achash Rosh — the people of Mordekay.

In the first month — the month Nisan in the twelfth year of sovereign Achash Rosh, they fell Pur, that is, the pebble, at the face of Haman from day to day and from month to month to the twelfth — that is, the month Adar.

And Haman says to sovereign Achash Rosh, There is one people scattered and spread among the people in all the jurisdictions of your sovereigndom; and their edicts are diverse from all people; they work not the edicts of the sovereign; and it equates not that the sovereign allow them. If it be good with the sovereign, inscribe to destroy them; and I weigh ten thousand rounds of silver to the hands of the workers of the work to bring it into the treasuries of the sovereign.

And the sovereign twists his signet from his hand and gives it to Haman the son of Medatha the Agagiy the tribulator of the Yah Hudiym.

And the king sovereign and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed. ESTER TOLD OF THE PLOT OF HAMAN When Mordecai Mordekay perceived all that was done worked, Mordecai rent Mordekay ripped his clothes, and put on sackcloth enrobed saq with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud great and a bitter cry; And came even before at the face of the king's gate sovereign's portal: for none might enter into the king's gate sovereign's portal clothed enrobed with sackcloth saq. And in every province jurisdiction by jurisdiction, whithersoever whatever place the king's commandment sovereign's word and his decree came edict touched, there was great mourning among the Jews Yah Hudiym, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing chopping; and many lay spread in sackcloth saq and ashes. So Esther's maids Ester's lasses and her chamberlains eunuchs came and told it her. Then was the queen sovereigness exceedingly grieved mightily writhed; and she sent raiment clothes to clothe Mordecai enrobe Mordekay, and to take away turn aside his sackcloth saq from him: but he received took it not. Then called Esther Ester for Hatach Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains sovereign's eunuchs, whom he had appointed stood to attend upon face her, and gave him a commandment misvahed to Mordecai for Mordekay, to know what it was, and why it was. So Hatach Hathach went forth to Mordecai Mordekay unto the street broadway of the city, which was before at the face of the king's gate sovereign's portal. And Mordecai Mordekay told him of all that had happened unto him,

The silver is given to you — the people also to work with them as is good in your eyes. 12

Then they call the scribes of the sovereign on the thirteenth of the first month; and they inscribe according to all that Haman misvahed to the satraps of the sovereign and to the governors over jurisdiction by jurisdiction; and to the governors of people by people of jurisdiction by jurisdiction; according to the inscribings thereof; and to people by people after their tongue; inscribed in the name of sovereign Achash Rosh and sealed with the signet of the sovereign.

And they send scrolls by the hand of runners into all the jurisdictions of the sovereign — to desolate, to slaughter and to destroy all Yah Hudiym — from lad to old man, toddlers and women, in one day, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month — the month Adar and spoil their plunder; the transcript of the inscribings for an edict to be given jurisdiction by jurisdiction is exposed to all people to be ready against that day. The runners go, hastened by the word of the sovereign and the edict is given in Shushan palace. And the sovereign and Haman sit to drink; and the city Shushan is perplexed.

ESTER TOLD OF THE PLOT OF HAMAN And Mordekay perceives all that was worked, and Mordekay rips his clothes and enrobes saq with ashes; and goes midst the city and cries a great and a bitter cry; and he even comes at the face of the portal of the sovereign — for no one enters the portal of the sovereign enrobed with saq. And in jurisdiction by jurisdiction whatever place the word of the sovereign and his edict touches, there is great mourning among the Yah Hudiym and fasting and weeping and chopping; and many spread in saq and ashes.

And the lasses of Ester and her eunuchs come and tell her. And the sovereigness writhes mightily; and she sends clothes to enrobe Mordekay and to turn aside his saq from him; but he takes it not.

And Ester calls for Hathach, one of the eunuchs of the sovereign whom he stands at her face; to misvah for Mordekay to know what and why.

And Hatach Hathach came and told Esther Ester the words of Mordecai Mordekay. Again Esther spake And Ester said unto Hatach Hathach, and gave him commandment misvahed unto Mordecai for Mordekay; All the king's sovereign's servants, and the people of the king's provinces sovereign's jurisdictions, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king sovereign into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law edict of his to put deathify him to death, except apart from such to whom the king sovereign shall hold out spread the golden sceptre scion, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king sovereign these thirty days. And they told to Mordecai Mordekay Esther's Ester's words. Then Mordecai Mordekay commanded to answer Esther said to respond to Ester, Think Consider not with thyself thy soul that thou shalt escape in the king's sovereign's house, more than all the Jews Yah Hudiym. THE MISSION OF SOVEREIGNESS ESTER For if in hushing, thou altogether holdest thy peace hushest at this time, then shall there enlargement respite and deliverance arise rescue stand to the Jews Yah Hudiym from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to touchest the kingdom sovereigndom for such a time as this? Then Esther bade them Ester said to return Mordecai Mordekay this answer, Go, gather together all the Jews Yah Hudiym that are present found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will lasses shall fast likewise; and so will thus shall I go in unto the king sovereign, which is not according to the law edict: and if I perish destruct, I perish destruct. So Mordecai went his way Mordekay passed, and did worked according to all that Esther Ester had commanded misvahed him. THE PETITION OF SOVEREIGNESS ESTER Now it came to pass And so be it, on the third day, that Esther Ester put on enrobed her royal sovereigndom apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's sovereign's house, over against opposite the king's sovereign's house: and the king sat sovereign settled upon his royal throne the throne of his sovereigndom in the royal house house of the sovereigndom, over against opposite the gate portal of the house.

And Hathach comes and tells Ester the words of Mordekay: and Ester says to Hathach and misvahs for Mordekay; All the servants and the people of the sovereign of the jurisdictions of the sovereign know, that whoever — whether man or woman, come to the sovereign into the inner court, who is not called, there is one edict of his — to deathify him — apart from such to whom the sovereign spreads the golden scion — then they live; but I am not called to come in to the sovereign these thirty days. — and they tell Mordekay the words of Ester. And Mordekay says to respond to Ester, Consider not in your soul that being in the house of the sovereign you escape any more than all the Yah Hudiym. THE MISSION OF SOVEREIGNESS ESTER But if in hushing, you hush at this time, then respite and rescue to the Yah Hudiym stands from another place; but you and the house of your father is destroyed; and who knows whether you reach the sovereigndom for a time as this? Then Ester says to return this to Mordekay, Go, gather all the Yah Hudiym found in Shushan and fast you for me; and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day; I and also my lasses fast likewise; and thus I go in to the sovereign, which is not according to the edict; and if I destruct, I destruct. So Mordekay passes and works according to all Ester misvahs him. THE PETITION OF SOVEREIGNESS ESTER And so be it, on the third day, Ester enrobes her sovereigndom; and stands in the inner court of the house of the sovereign, opposite the house of the sovereign; and the sovereign settles on the throne of his sovereigndom in the house of the sovereigndom, opposite the portal of the house.

And the king sovereign said unto Esther Ester at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and so be it shall be granted given thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom sovereigndom so be it shall be performed worked. Then answered Esther Ester, and said, My petition and my request is; If I have found favour charism in the sight eyes of the king sovereign, and if it please be good with the king sovereign to grant give my petition, and to perform work my request, let the king sovereign and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare work for them, and I will do shall work to morrow as the king hath said according to the word of the sovereign.

Yet all this availeth equateth me nothing naught, so long as all the time that I see Mordecai Mordekay the Jew Yah Hudiy sitting settled at the king's gate sovereign's portal.

And it was found written inscribed, that Mordecai Mordekay had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains sovereign's eunuchs, the keepers guards of the door threshold, who sought to lay send their hand on the king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh. And the king sovereign said, What honour esteem and dignity greatness hath been done worked to Mordecai Mordekay for this? Then said the king's servants sovereign's lads that ministered unto him, There is nothing done No word hath been worked for him. And the king sovereign said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's sovereign's house, to speak say unto the king sovereign to hang Mordecai Mordekay on the gallows tree that he had prepared for him. And the king's servants sovereign's lads said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king sovereign said, Let him come in. So Haman came in.

Now Haman thought said in his heart, To whom would should the king sovereign delight to do honour work esteem more than to myself? And Haman answered said to the king sovereign, For the man whom the king sovereign delighteth to honour esteem, Let the royal apparel robe of the sovereigndom be brought which the king useth to wear sovereign enrobeth, and the horse that the king sovereign rideth upon, and the crown royal diadem of the sovereigndom which is set given upon his head: And let this apparel robe and horse be delivered given to the hand of one the man of the king's sovereign's most noble princes governors, that they may array enrobe the man withal whom the king sovereign delighteth to honour esteem, and bring him have him ride on horseback through the street broadway of the city, and proclaim before him call out at his face, Thus shall it be done worked to the man whom the king sovereign delighteth to honour esteem.

And Haman told scribed to Zeresh his wife woman and all his friends loved ones every thing all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife woman unto him, If Mordecai Mordekay be of the seed of the Jews Yah Hudiym,

and they call them out at the face of the sovereign. And they find inscribed, that Mordekay had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the sovereign — guards of the threshold who seek to send their hand on the sovereign Achash Rosh. And the sovereign says, What esteem and greatness was worked to Mordekay for this? And the lads of the sovereign who minister to him say, No word was worked for him.

And the sovereign says, Who is in the court? — and Haman comes into the outward court of the house of the sovereign, to say to the sovereign to hang Mordekay on the tree he prepared for him.

And the lads of the sovereign say to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court.

And the sovereign says, Have him come in. — and Haman comes in. And the sovereign says to him, What work we to the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem? And in his heart, Haman says, Who delights the sovereign to work esteem more than myself?

And Haman says to the sovereign, For the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem, bring the robe of the sovereigndom which the sovereign enrobes and the horse the sovereign rides and give the diadem of the sovereigndom upon his head; and give this robe and horse to the hand of the man of the most noble governors of the sovereign — to enrobe the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem; and ride him horseback through the broadway of the city and call out at his face; thus work to the man whom the sovereign delights to esteem.

And while they were yet talking wording with him, came the king's chamberlains the sovereign's eunuchs touched, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther Ester had prepared worked. HAMAN HANGED So And the king sovereign and Haman came to banquet drink with Esther Ester the queen sovereigness. And the king sovereign said again unto Esther Ester on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther sovereigness Ester? and so be it shall be granted given thee: and what is thy request? and so be it shall be performed worked, even to the half of the kingdom sovereigndom. Then Esther Ester the queen sovereigness answered and said, If I have found favour charism in thy sight eyes, O king sovereign, and if it please be good with the king sovereign, let my life soul be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed desolated, to be slain slaughtered, and to perish destruct. But if Even though we had been sold for bondmen servants and bondwomen maids, I had held my tongue hushed, although the enemy tribulator could not countervail equated not the king's sovereign's damage. Then the king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh answered and said unto Esther Ester the queen sovereigness, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart whose heart hath filled him to do so thus to work? And Esther Ester said, The adversary tribulator and enemy is this wicked evil Haman. Then Haman was afraid before frightened at the face of the king sovereign and the queen sovereigness. And the king sovereign arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath fury went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request beseech for his life soul to Esther Ester the queen sovereigness; for he saw that there was evil determined finished against him by the king sovereign. Then the king sovereign returned out of the palace garden into the place house of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther Ester was. Then said the king sovereign, Will Shall he force subdue the queen sovereigness also before in front of me in the house? As the word went out of king's sovereign's mouth, they covered Haman's face. And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains eunuchs, said before at the face of the king sovereign, Behold also, the gallows tree fifty cubits high, which Haman had made worked for Mordecai Mordekay, who had spoken worded good for the king sovereign, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king sovereign said, Hang him thereon. So they hanged Haman on the gallows tree that he had prepared for Mordecai Mordekay. Then was the king's wrath sovereign's fury pacified assuaged. MORDEKAY PROMOTED On that day did the king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy Yah Hudiym's tribulator

at the face of whom you begin to fall, you prevail not against him: but in falling, fall at his face. 14

And as they still word with him, the eunuchs of the sovereign touch and hasten to bring Haman to the banquet Ester worked.

And the sovereign and Haman come to drink with Ester the sovereigness.

And the sovereign also says to Ester on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is your petition, sovereigness Ester? and so be it given you; And what is your request? and so be it worked to the half of the sovereigndom.

And Ester the sovereigness answers and says, If I find charism in your eyes, O sovereign and if it be good with the sovereign, may my soul be given me at my petition and my people at my request; for we have been sold, I and my people, to desolate, to slaughter and to destruct. Even though we have been sold for servants and maids, I hushed; although the tribulator equated not the damage of the sovereign.

HAMAN HANGED

And sovereign Achash Rosh answers and says to Ester the sovereigness, Who is he and where is he, whose heart has filled him thus to work?

And Ester says, The tribulator and enemy is this evil Haman. — and Haman is frightened at the face of the sovereign and the sovereigness.

And the sovereign rises from the banquet of wine, and in his fury goes into the palace garden; and Haman stands to beseech for his soul to Ester the sovereigness; for he sees that there is evil finished against him by the sovereign.

And the sovereign returns from the palace garden to the house of the banquet of wine; and Haman falls upon the bed whereon Ester is. And the sovereign says, Subdues he also the sovereigness in front of me in the house? As the word goes from the mouth of the sovereign, they cover the face of Haman.

And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, says at the face of the sovereign, Behold also, the tree fifty cubits high, which Haman worked for Mordekay who worded good for the sovereign, stands in the house of Haman.

unto Esther Ester the queen sovereigness. And Mordecai Mordekay came before at the face of the king sovereign; for Esther Ester had told what he was unto her. And the king took sovereign twisted off his ring signet, which he had taken passed from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai Mordekay. And Esther Ester set Mordecai Mordekay over the house of Haman. And Esther spake yet again Ester added to word before at the face of the king sovereign, and fell down at the face of his feet, and besought charism of him with tears weeping to put away pass over the mischief evil of Haman the Agagite Agagiy, and his device fabrication that he had devised fabricated against the Jews Yah Hudiym. Then the king sovereign held out spread the golden sceptre scion toward Esther Ester. So Esther Ester arose, and stood before at the face of the king sovereign, And said, If it please be good with the king sovereign, and if I have found favour charism in his sight face, and the thing seem right word prosper before at the face of the king sovereign, and I be pleasing goodly in his eyes let it be written inscribed to reverse return the letters scrolls devised by the fabrication of Haman the son of Hammedatha Medatha the Agagite Agagiy, which he wrote inscribed to destroy the Jews Yah Hudiym which are in all the king's provinces sovereign's jurisdictions: For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto find my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred? Then the king Ahasuerus sovereign Achash Rosh said unto Esther Ester the queen sovereigness and to Mordecai Mordekay the Jew Yah Hudiy, Behold, I have given Esther Ester the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows tree, because he laid spread his hand upon the Jews Yah Hudiym. Write Inscribe ye also for the Jews Yah Hudiym, as it liketh you be good in your eyes, in the king's sovereign's name, and seal it with the king's ring sovereign's signet: for the writing inscribing which is written inscribed in the king's sovereign's name, and sealed with the king's ring sovereign's signet, may that no man reverse overturneth. Then were the king's sovereign's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written inscribed according to all that Mordecai commanded Mordekay misvahed unto the Jews Yah Hudiym, and to the lieutenants satraps, and the deputies governors and rulers governors of the provinces jurisdictions which are from India Hodu unto Ethiopia Kush, an hundred twenty and seven provinces jurisdictions, unto every province jurisdiction by jurisdiction according to the writing inscribing thereof, and unto every people by people after their language, and to the Jews Yah Hudiym according to their writing inscribings, and according to their language tongue. And he wrote inscribed in the king Ahasuerus' sovereign Achash Rosh's name, and sealed it with the king's ring sovereign's signet, and sent letters scrolls by posts the hand of runners on horseback, and riders on mules stallions, camels mules, and young dromedaries sons of mares:

to Ester the sovereigness: and Mordekay comes at the face of the sovereign; for Ester had told what he was to her. 2

And the sovereign twists the signet he passed from Haman, and gives it to Mordekay; and Ester sets Mordekay over the house of Haman: and Ester adds to word at the face of the sovereign and falls at the face of his feet; and with weeping beseeches his charism to pass over the evil of Haman the Agagiy and the fabrication he fabricated against the Yah Hudiym. — and the sovereign spreads the golden scion toward Ester. And Ester rises and stands at the face of the sovereign, and says, If it be good with the sovereign and if I find charism in his face and the word prospers at the face of the sovereign and I be goodly in his eyes, inscribe to return the scrolls — the fabrication of Haman the son of Medatha the Agagiy, wherein he inscribed to destroy the Yah Hudiym in all the jurisdictions of the sovereign. For how can I see the evil which finds my people? Or how can I see the destruction of my kindred?

And sovereign Achash Rosh says to Ester the sovereigness and to Mordekay the Yah Hudiy, Behold, I give Ester the house of Haman; and they hanged him upon the tree because he spread his hand on the Yah Hudiym.

And you, you inscribe also for the Yah Hudiym as is good in your eyes, in the name of the sovereign; and seal it with the signet of the sovereign; for the inscribing inscribed in the name of the sovereign and sealed with the signet of the sovereign so that no man overturns.

And the Jews Yah Hudiym undertook to do work as they had begun, and as Mordecai Mordekay had written inscribed unto them; Because Haman the son of Hammedatha Medatha, the Agagite Agagiy, the enemy tribulator of all the Jews Yah Hudiym, had devised fabricated against the Jews Yah Hudiym to destroy them, and had cast felled Pur, that is, the lot pebble, to consume agitate them, and to destroy them; But when Esther Ester came before at the face of the king sovereign, he commanded said by letters scrolls that his wicked device evil fabrication, which he devised fabricated against the Jews Yah Hudiym, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows tree.

So for all the words of this epistle and for what they saw concerning thus — and which touched to them, the Yah Hudiym rise and take upon them and upon their seed and upon all such as join themselves to them, so that it not pass away — that they work these two days according to their inscribing and according to their appointment year by year; and that these days be remembered and worked generation by generation family by family jurisdiction by jurisdiction city by city; and that neither these days of Purim pass away from among the Yah Hudiym, nor the memorial of them consume from their seed. And Ester the sovereigness the daughter of Abi Hail and Mordekay the Yah Hudiy inscribe with all power to raise this second epistle of Purim. And he sends the scrolls to all the Yah Hudiym, — to the hundred and twenty—seven jurisdictions of the sovereigndom of Achash Rosh, words of shalom and truth, to raise these days of Purim in their appointment, according as Mordekay the Yah Hudiy

There was a man in the land of Uz Us, whose name was Job Iyob; and that man was perfect integrious and upright straight, and one that feared God awed Elohim, and eschewed turned aside from evil. And there were born birthed unto him seven sons and three daughters. His substance chattel also was seven thousand sheep flocks, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses burros, and a very mighty great household servantry; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. And his sons went and feasted worked a banquet in their houses, every one each man his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. And so be it was so, when the days of their feasting banqueting were gone about revolved, that Job Iyob sent and sanctified hallowed them, and rose up started early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings holocausted holocausts according to the number of them all: for Job Iyob said, It may be that Perhaps my sons have sinned, and cursed God yet blessed Elohim in their hearts. Thus did Job worked Iyob continually. THE FIRST CHALLENGE OF SATAN Now there was And so be it, a day when the sons of God Elohim came to present station themselves before the L ORD by Yah Veh, and Satan came also among midst them. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, From going flitting to and fro in the earth, and from walking up forth and down back in it. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Satan, Hast thou considered set thy heart on my servant Job Iyob, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect an integrious and an upright straight man, one that feareth God aweth Elohim, and escheweth turneth aside from evil? Then Satan answered the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, Doth Job Iyob fear God for naught Elohim gratuitously? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about throughout his house, and about throughout all that he hath on every side all around? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance chattel is increased breaketh forth in the land. But put forth spread thine hand now I beseech, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse whether he shall bless thee to thy face. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power hand; only upon himself put spread not forth thine hand. So And Satan went forth from the presence face of the LORD Yah Veh. THE FIRST TEST OF IYOB And so be it, there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest firstbirthed brother's house: And there came a messenger an angel unto Job Iyob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding she burros tending beside them at their hands: And the Sabeans fell upon felled them, and took them away;

There was a man in the land of Us, his name, Iyob; and that man being integrious and straight; and one awing Elohim and turning aside from evil. And seven sons and three daughters are birthed to him; and his chattel: seven thousand flocks and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred she burros and a mighty great servantry; so that this man is the greatest of all the men of the east.

And his sons go and work a banquet in their houses — each man on his day; and they send and call for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

And so be it, as the days of banqueting revolve, Iyob sends and hallows them; and starts early in the morning and holocausts holocausts according to their number; for Iyob says, Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed Elohim in their hearts. — thus worked Iyob continually.

THE FIRST CHALLENGE OF SATAN And so be it, a day arrives when the sons of Elohim come to station themselves by Yah Veh; and Satan also comes in their midst. And Yah Veh says to Satan, Whence come you? And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, From flitting to and fro in the earth and from walking forth and back in it.

And Yah Veh says to Satan, Have you set your heart on my servant Iyob, that there is none like him in the earth? — an integrious and straight man, one who awes Elohim and turns aside from evil?

And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Iyob, fears he Elohim gratuitously? Make you not a hedge about him and throughout his house and throughout all he has all around? You bless the work of his hands and his chattel break forth in the land. And yet, spread your hand, I beseech, and touch all that he has, whether he blesses you to your face.

And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, all he has is in your hand; only spread not your hand on his self. — and Satan goes from the face of Yah Veh. THE FIRST TEST OF IYOB And so be it, a day his sons and his daughters are eating and drinking wine in the house of their firstbirthed brother; and an angel comes to Iyob and says, The oxen were plowing and the she burros tending at their hands; and the Sabeans felled them and took them away;

Then Job Iyob arose, and rent ripped his mantle, and shaved sheared his head, and fell down upon the ground earth, and worshipped prostrated. And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb belly, and naked shall I return thither: the L ORD Yah Veh gave, and the L ORD Yah Veh hath taken away; blessed be the name of the L ORD Yah Veh. In all this Job Iyob sinned not, nor charged God attributed Elohim foolishly with frivolity.

And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, From going flitting to and fro in the earth, and from walking up forth and down back in it.

And Satan answered the L ORD Yah Veh, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will shall he give for his life soul. But put forth spread thine hand now I beseech, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse whether he shall bless thee to thy face. And the LORD Yah Veh said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save guard his life soul. THE SECOND TEST OF IYOB So went Satan forth from the presence face of the LORD Yah Veh, and smote Job Iyob with sore boils evil ulcers from the sole of his foot unto his crown scalp.

Then Iyob rises and rips his mantle and shears his head and falls down on the earth and prostrates and says, Naked came I from the belly of my mother and naked I return; Yah Veh gives and Yah Veh takes; blessed — the name of Yah Veh. In all this Iyob neither sinned nor attributed Elohim with frivolity. THE SECOND CHALLENGE OF SATAN And so be it, the day the sons of Elohim come to station themselves by Yah Veh; and Satan also comes among them to station himself by Yah Veh. And Yah Veh says to Satan, Whence come you? And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, From flitting to and fro in the earth and from walking forth and back in it.

But he said unto her, Thou speakest wordest as one of the foolish women speaketh wordeth. What? Yea, shall we receive take good at the hand of God Elohim, and shall we not receive take evil? In all this did not Job sin Iyob sinned not with his lips. THE THREE FRIENDS OF I YOB Now when Job's Iyob's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one each man from his own place; Eliphaz Eli Phaz the Temanite Temaniy, and Bildad the Shuhite Shuachiy, and Zophar Sophar the Naamathite Naamahiy: for they had made an appointment congregated together to come to mourn wag with him and to comfort sigh with him. And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew recognized him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one ripped each man his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven the heavens. So they sat down settled with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake worded a word unto him: for they saw that his grief the pain was very mighty great. I YOB SPEAKS After this opened Job Iyob his mouth, and cursed abased his day. And Job spake Iyob answered, and said, Let the day perish destruct wherein I was born birthed, and the night in which it was said, There is a man mighty child conceived. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard Elohah require it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain redeem it; let a cloud dwell cloudiness tabernacle upon it; let the blackness eclipses of the day terrify frighten it. As for that night, let darkness seize upon take it; let it not be joined rejoice unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months moons. Lo Behold, let that night be solitary sterile, let no joyful voice shout come therein. Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning waken a leviathan. Let the stars of the twilight thereof evening breeze be dark darken; let it look for await light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning eyelids of the day dawn: Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb belly, nor hid sorrow toil from mine eyes. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost — expire when I came out of the belly? Why did the knees prevent anticipate me? or why the breasts that I should suck? For now should I have lain still down and been quiet rested, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, With kings sovereigns and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places parched areas for themselves; Or with princes governors that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: Or as an hidden untimely birth miscarriage I had not been; as infants which never saw light. There the wicked cease from troubling commotion; and there the weary be at wearied of force rest. There the prisoners rest bound relax together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor exactor.

THE THREE FRIENDS OF I YOB And the three friends of Iyob hear of all this evil coming upon him, and each man comes from his own place; Eli Phaz the Temaniy and Bildad the Shuachiy and Sophar the Naamahiy; for they come to congregate together to wag with him and to sigh with him. And they lift their eyes afar off and recognize him not, and they lift their voice and weep; and each man rips his mantle and sprinkles dust on his head toward the heavens: and they settle with him on the ground seven days and seven nights — and no one words a word to him; for they see the pain is mighty great.

After this Iyob opens his mouth and abases his day; and Iyob answers and says, Destroy the day I was birthed; and the night that says, A mighty child is conceived; O that that day be darkness: that Elohah neither require it from above, nor the light shine on it; that darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; that a cloudiness tabernacle on it; that the eclipses of the day frighten it; as for that night, O that darkness take it; that it not rejoice to the days of the year; that it not come into the number of the moons. Behold, O that that night be sterile, that no shout come therein; that they curse, who curse the day who are ready to waken a leviathan; O that the stars of the evening breeze darken; that it await light, but have none; that it not see the eyelids of the dawn; because it neither shut the doors of my belly, nor hide toil from my eyes. Why died I not from the womb? — expire when I came from the belly? Why did the knees anticipate me? Or why the breasts I suck?

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for await death, but it cometh be not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly cheer and twirl, and are glad rejoice, when they can find the grave tomb? Why is light given to a man — To the mighty whose way is hid, and whom God Elohah hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat at the face of my bread, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared dread I dreaded is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of feared is come unto me. I was not in safety serenified, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet rested I; yet trouble commotion came. ELI PHAZ ANSWERS Then Eliphaz Eli Phaz the Temanite Temaniy answered and said, If we assay to commune test a word with thee, wilt shalt thou be grieved weary? but who can withhold refrain himself from speaking utterances? Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words utterances have upholden raised him that was falling faltered, and thou hast strengthened the feeble kneeling knees. But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest weariest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled terrified. Is not this thy fear awe, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness integrity of thy ways? Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished destructed, being innocent? or where were the righteous straight cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity mischief, and sow wickedness seed toil, reap the same thus harvest. By the blast breath of God Elohah they perish destruct, and by the breath spirit/wind of his nostrils are they consumed finished off. The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce roaring lion, and the teeth of the young lions whelps, are broken pulled. The old lion perisheth destructeth for lack of without prey, and the stout roaring lion's whelps are scattered abroad separated. Now a thing word was secretly by stealth brought to me, and mine ear received a little took an inkling thereof. In thoughts sentiments from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, Fear came upon Dread confronted me, and trembling, which made all my abundant bones to shake dreaded. Then a spirit passed before in front of my face; the hair of my flesh stood up on end: It stood still, but I could not discern recognize the form visage thereof: an image a manifestation was before in front of mine eyes, there was silence, Stillness! and I heard a voice, saying, Shall mortal man be more just than God Elohah? shall a man the mighty be more pure than his maker Worker? Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged set with folly braggadocio: How much less in them Yea, they that dwell tabernacle in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before at the face of the moth? They are destroyed crushed from morning to evening:

For the dread I dreaded comes on me and what I feared comes to me. I neither serenified, nor had I rest, nor rested I; yet commotion came. ELI PHAZ ANSWERS And Eli Phaz the Temaniy answers and says, If one tests a word with you, you weary; but who can refrain himself from utterances? Behold, you instructed many and you strengthened the weak hands; your utterances raised him who falters and you strengthened the kneeling knees. But now it comes on you, and you weary; it touches you, and you terrify. Is not this your awe, your confidence, your hope and the integrity of your ways? Remember, I pray you, whoever destructs, being innocent? or, Where are the straight cut off? Even as I see, they who plow mischief and seed toil, harvest thus. By the breath of Elohah, they destruct and by the spirit/wind of his nostrils, they finish off. The roaring of the lion and the voice of the roaring lion and the teeth of the whelps — all are pulled. Without prey, the old lion destructs, and the whelps of the roaring lion separate. And by stealth, a word is brought to me and my ear takes an inkling. In sentiments from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, dread and trembling confront me — which my abundant bones dread. And a spirit passes in front of my face; the hair of my flesh stands on end; it stands: but I recognize not the visage; a manifestation in front of my eyes: stillness — and I hear a voice, Is mortal man more just than Elohah? The mighty more pure than his Worker? Behold, he puts no trust in his servants; and he sets his angels with braggadocio; yes, they who tabernacle in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust crush at the face of the moth — crushed from morning to evening;

they perish for ever destruct in perpetuity without any regarding setting it. Doth not their excellency remainder which is in them go away pull stakes? they die, even without wisdom. Call now I beseech, if there be any that will shall answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt holy shalt thou turn face? For wrath killeth vexation slaughtereth the foolish man, and envy slayeth deathifieth the silly one enticed. I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation of rest. His children are far from safety salvation, and they are crushed in the gate portal, neither is there any to deliver rescue them. Whose harvest the hungry famished eateth up, and taketh it even out of through the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up gulpeth their substance valuables. Although affliction mischief cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble toil spring sprout out of the ground soil; Yet man humanity is born birthed unto trouble toil, as the sparks sons of the burning coal lift and fly upward. But I would should seek unto God El, and unto God Elohim would should I commit set my cause word: Which doeth worketh great things and unsearchable not to be probed; marvellous things marvels without number: Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields face of the outways: To set up on high in the heights those that be low the lowly; that those which mourn the darkened may be exalted to safety lifted unto salvation. He disappointeth breaketh down the devices fabrications of the crafty subtle, so that their hands cannot perform work not their enterprise substance. He taketh captureth the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward twisters is carried headlong hastened. They meet with darkness in the daytime day, and grope in the noonday as in the night. But he saveth the poor needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty strong. So the poor hath becometh hope, and iniquity stoppeth wickedness shutteth her mouth. Behold, happy blithe is the man whom God correcteth Elohah reproveth: therefore despise spurn not thou the chastening discipline of the Almighty Shadday: For he maketh sore paineth, and bindeth up: he woundeth striketh, and his hands make whole heal. He shall deliver rescue thee in six troubles tribulations: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power hand of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge lash of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction awe devastation when it cometh. At destruction devastation and famine hunger thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of awe the beasts live beings of the earth. For thou shalt be in league thy covenant shall be with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace shalom with thee. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle tent shall be in peace shalom; and thou shalt visit thy habitation of rest, and shalt not sin. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass herbage of the earth. Thou shalt come to thy grave tomb in a full age maturity,

they destruct in perpetuity without setting: those remaining pull stakes — they die, even without wisdom. Call, I beseech, if there be any who answer you; and to which of the holy do you face? For vexation slaughters the foolish and envy deathifies the enticed. I see the foolish taking root; but suddenly I curse his habitation of rest. His children are far from salvation — crushed in the portal, none to rescue them; whose harvest the famished eat and even take it through the thorns and the robber gulps their valuables. For neither comes mischief from the dust, nor sprouts toil from the soil; yet humanity is birthed to toil, as the sons of the burning coal lift and fly. Yet I — I seek to El and to Elohim I set my word; who works great — not to be probed; marvels without number; who gives rain on the face of the earth and sends waters on the face of the outways; to set the lowly in the heights; to lift the darkened to salvation. He breaks down the fabrications of the subtle so that their hands not work their substance: he captures the wise in their own craftiness; and hastens the counsel of the twisters. They meet with darkness in the day and grope in the noonday as in the night. And he saves the needy from the sword, from their mouth and from the hand of the strong. And so be it, hope to the poor and wickedness shuts her mouth. Behold, blithe — the man whom Elohah reproves; so spurn not the discipline of Shadday; for he pains and binds; he strikes and his hands heal. He rescues you in six tribulations; yes, in seven no evil touches you. In famine he redeems you from death; and in war from the hand of the sword. You are hid from the lash of the tongue; awe not devastation when it comes. You laugh at devastation and hunger; and awe not the live beings of the earth. For your covenant is with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field are at shalom with you. And you know that your tent is in shalom; and you visit your habitation of rest and sin not. You know also that your seed is great and your offspring as the herbage of the earth. You come to your tomb in maturity,

But Job Iyob answered and said, Oh that my grief in weighing, my vexation were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid lifted in the balances together! For now it would should be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up gulped. For the arrows of the Almighty Shadday are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God Elohah do set themselves in array line up against me. Doth Shall the wild ass runner bray when he hath grass sprouts? or loweth belloweth the ox over his fodder? Can that which is unsavoury Shall slime be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white slime of an egg? The things Those that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat bloody bread. Oh Who giveth that I might have my request petition; and that God Elohah would grant me the thing that I long for should give me hope! Even that it would please God Though Elohah willeth to destroy crush me; that he would should let loose his hand, and cut me off! Then should I yet have comfort yet my sighing be; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow should jump with pangs: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words sayings of the Holy One. What is my strength force, that I should hope await? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life soul? Is my strength force the strength force of stones? or is my flesh of brass copper? Is not my help in me? and is wisdom substance driven quite from me? To him that is afflicted melteth, pity mercy should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear awe of the Almighty Shadday. My brethren have dealt deceitfully covered over as a brook wadi, and as the stream reservoir of brooks wadies they pass away; Which are blackish darkened by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid concealed: What time they wax warm dissipate, they vanish are exterminated: when it is hot, they are consumed extinguished out of their place. The paths of their way are turned aside; they go ascend to nothing waste, and perish destruct. The troops paths of Tema looked, the companies caravans of Sheba waited for awaited them. They were confounded shamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed blushed. For now ye are nothing nought; ye see my casting down, and are afraid awe. Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for Bribe me of your substance? Or, Deliver Rescue me from the enemy's hand of the tribulator? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty tyrant? Teach me, and I will hold my tongue shall hush: and cause me to understand discern wherein I have inadvertently erred. How forcible reinforcing are right words sayings of straightness! but what doth your arguing reproving reprove? Do ye imagine fabricate to reprove words utterances,

as a heap ascends in his time. Behold this, we probe, and so be it; hear and know for your own good. I YOB ANSWERS And Iyob answers and says, Oh that in weighing, my vexation were weighed and my calamity lifted in the balances together! For now it is heavier than the sand of the sea; so I gulp my words; for the arrows of Shadday are within me, whereof the poison drinks up my spirit; the terrors of Elohah line up against me. Brays the wild runner when he has sprouts? Bellows the ox over his fodder? Is slime eaten without salt? Is there taste in the slime of an egg? What my soul refuses to touch is as my bloody bread. O that I be given my petition; and that Elohah give me hope! O that Elohah wills to crush me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to loose his hand and cut me off! And yet it is my sighing; I jump with pangs; he spares not: for I conceal not the sayings of the Holy One. What is my force, that I await? What is my end, that I prolong my soul? Is my force the force of stones? Is my flesh of copper? Is not my help within me? Is substance quite driven from me? He who melts, has mercy from his friend; but he forsakes the awe of Shadday. My brothers cover up as a wadi and as the reservoir of wadies, they pass away; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; darkened by the ice wherein the snow conceals; by the time they dissipate they are exterminated; when it is hot they are extinguished from their place. The paths of their way are turned aside; they ascend to waste and destruct. The paths of Tema look; the caravans of Sheba await them; they shame because they had hoped; there they come and blush. Surely now you are naught; you see my casting down and awe. Said I, Bring me? or, Bribe me of your substance? or, Rescue me from the hand of the tribulator? or, Redeem me from the hand of the tyrant? Teach me, and I hush; and I discern wherein I have inadvertently erred. How reinforcing the sayings of straightness! And what does your reproving reprove? Fabricate you to reprove utterances

and the speeches sayings of one that is desperate a quitter, which are — as wind? Yea, ye overwhelm fell the fatherless orphan, and ye dig a pit for your friend. Now therefore be content, look upon will to face me; for it is evident unto you your face if I lie. Return, I pray beseech you, let it not be iniquity wickedness; yea, return again, my righteousness justness is in it. Is there iniquity wickedness in my tongue? cannot my taste palate discern perverse things calamity? Is there not an appointed time a hostility to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling? As a servant earnestly desireth gulpeth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh awaiteth for the reward of his work deeds: So am I made to possess Thus have I inherited months moons of vanity, and wearisome nights nights of toil are appointed numbered to me. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise and the night evening be gone flown? and I am full satiated of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day evening breeze. My flesh is clothed enrobed with worms maggots and clods of dust; my skin is broken split, and become loathsome dissipateth. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle weaver, and are spent finished off without hope. O remember that my life is wind wind/spirit: mine eye shall no more not return to see good. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more not lurk: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed finisheth off and vanisheth away goeth: so he that goeth down descendeth to the grave sheol shall come up no more ascend not again. He shall return no more not again to his house, neither shall his place know recognize him any more again. Therefore I will shall not refrain spare my mouth; I will speak shall word in the anguish tribulation of my spirit; I will complain shall meditate in the bitterness of my soul. Am I a sea, or a whale monster, that thou settest a watch guard over me? When I say, My bed bedstead shall comfort sigh for me, my couch bed shall ease lift my complaint meditation; Then thou scarest terrifiest me with dreams, and terrifiest frightenest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life bones. I loathe spurn it; I would shall not live alway eternally: let me alone decease; for my days are vanity. What is man, that thou shouldest magnify greaten him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him? And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try proof him every moment blink? How long wilt shalt thou not depart look away from me, nor let me alone loose till I swallow down my spittle spit? I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver guardian of men humanity? why hast thou set me as a mark target against thee, so that I am a burden to myself? And why dost thou not pardon lift my transgression rebellion, and take pass away my iniquity perversity? for now shall I sleep lie in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning early, but I shall not be.

and the sayings of a quitter as wind? Yes, you fell the orphan and you dig for your friend. And now, will to face me; for it is evident to your face if I lie. Return, I beseech you, that it not be wickedness; yes, return, my justness is in it. Is there wickedness in my tongue? Cannot my palate discern calamity? Is there not a hostility to man on earth? Are his days also as the days of an hireling? As a servant gulps the shadow — as a hireling awaits his deeds; thus I inherit moons of vanity and nights of toil are numbered to me. I lie down and I say, When do I arise? and the evening flies away and I am satiated by tossings to and fro until the evening breeze. My flesh enrobes with maggots and clods of dust; my skin splits and dissipates: my days are swifter than a weaver — finished off without hope. O remember that my life is wind/spirit; my eye returns not to see good. The eye of him who sees me lurks not; your eyes are on me, and I am not. the cloud finishes off and goes; thus he who descends to sheol ascends not again; he neither returns to his house, nor his place recognizes him again.

Also I — I spare not my mouth; I word in the tribulation of my spirit; I meditate in the bitterness of my soul.

Am I a sea or a monster that you set a guard over me? When I say, My bedstead sighs for me, my bed lifts my meditation; and you terrify me with dreams and frighten me through visions; so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my bones.

I spurn; I live not eternally; let me decease; for my days are vanity.

Until when look you not from me? — nor loose me until I swallow my spit? I sinned; what do I to you, O you guardian of humanity? Why set me as a target against you, so that I am a burden to myself? And why lift you not my rebellion and pass away my perversity? for now I lie in the dust; and you seek me early — but I am not.

BILDAD ANSWERS Then answered Bildad the Shuhite Shuachiy, and said, How long Until when wilt shalt thou speak utter these things? and how long shall the words — the sayings of thy mouth be like a strong much wind? Doth God pervert El twist judgment? or doth the Almighty Shadday pervert justice twist justness? If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast sent them away for by the hand of their transgression rebellion; If thou wouldest shouldest seek unto God El betimes early and make thy supplication seekest charism to the Almighty of Shadday; If thou wert pure and upright straight; surely now he would should awake for thee, and make shalam the habitation of rest of thy righteousness prosperous justness. Though thy beginning was small little, yet thy latter end finality should greatly mightily increase. For enquire, I pray beseech thee, of the former first age, and prepare thyself to the search probing of their fathers: (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing naught, because our days upon earth are a shadow:) Shall not they teach thee, and tell say to thee, and utter words utterances out of their heart? Can the rush grow up rise without mire? can the flag grow bulrush increase without water? Whilst it is yet in his greenness unripeness, and not cut down plucked, it withereth before at the face of any other herb. So are the paths of all that forget God El; and the hypocrite's profaner's hope shall perish destruct: Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust confidence shall be a spider's web house. He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold strengthen it fast, but it shall not endure arise. He is green before moist at the face of the sun, and his branch sprout shooteth forth in his garden. His roots are wrapped entwined about the heap, and seeth the place house of stones. If he destroy him be swallowed from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee. Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth dust shall others grow sprout. Behold, God will El shall not cast away spurn a perfect man the integrious, neither will shall he help strengthen the hand of the evil doers vilifiers: Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing shouting. They that hate thee shall be clothed enrobed with shame; and the dwelling place tent of the wicked shall come to nought. I YOB ANSWERS Then Job Iyob answered and said, Truly I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just justified with God El? If he will desireth to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart, and mighty strong in strength force: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered shalamed? Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger wrath. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. Which commandeth saith to the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens,

BILDAD ANSWERS And Bildad the Shuachiy answers and says, Until when utter you these? — the sayings of your mouth so much wind? El — twists he judgment? Or Shadday — twists he justness? If your children sin against him and he sends them away by the hand of their rebellion; if you seek El early and seek charism of Shadday; if you are pure and straight; surely now he wakes for you and shalams the habitation of rest of your justness. Though your beginning be little, yet your finality mightily increases. I beseech you, enquire of the first age; prepare yourself to the probing of their fathers; — for we are of yesterday and know naught, because our days on earth are a shadow. Teach they not and say to you? — and utter utterances from their heart? Rises the rush without mire? Increases the bulrush without water? While it is yet in unripeness and not plucked, it withers at the face of any herb. Thus are the paths of all who forget El; and the hope of the profaner destructs — whose hope is cut off and whose confidence is the house of a spider. He leans on his house, and it stands not; he strengthens, and it rises not: he is moist at the face of the sun and his sprout shoots forth in his garden: his roots entwine around the heap and see the house of stones. If he is swallowed from his place, then they deny saying, I see you not. Behold the joy of his way, and others sprout from the dust. Behold, El neither spurns the integrious, nor strengthens the hand of the vilifiers; until he fills your mouth with laughing and your lips with shouting; and they who hate you enrobe with shame; and the tent of the wicked comes to nought.

And Iyob answers and says, Truly I know, and so be it; and how is man justified with El? If he desires to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. He is wise in heart and strong in force. Who hardens against him and shalams? Who removes mountains and they know not? Who overturns them in his wrath? Who shakes the earth from her place and the pillars thereof tremble? Who says to the sun and it rises not? And seals the stars? Who alone spreads out the heavens

and treadeth upon the waves bamahs of the sea. Which maketh Arcturus worketh Ash, Orion Kesil, and Pleiades Kimah, and the chambers of the south. Which doeth worketh great things past finding out — unable to be probed; yea, and wonders marvels without number. Lo Behold, he goeth passeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive discern him not. Behold, he taketh away seizeth, who can hinder turneth him back? who will shall say unto him, What doest workest thou? If God Elohah will shall not withdraw turn back his anger wrath, the proud helpers do stoop prostrate under him. How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? Whom, though I were righteous justified, yet would should I not answer, but I would make supplication should seek charism to from my judge. If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would should I not believe trust that he had hearkened unto my voice. For he breaketh crusheth me with a tempest whirling, and multiplieth aboundeth my wounds without cause gratuitously. He will shall not suffer give me to take return my breath spirit, but filleth satiateth me with bitterness bitternesses. If I speak of strength of force, lo behold, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead congregate to me? If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me judge me wicked: if I say, I am perfect integrious, it shall also prove me perverse pervert me. Though I were perfect I am integrious, yet would should I not know my soul: I would despise should spurn my life. This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth finisheth off the perfect integrious and the wicked. If the scourge slay whip deathify suddenly, he will laugh shall deride at the trial testing of the innocent. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? Now my days are swifter than a post runner: they flee away, they see no good. They are passed away as the swift ships of yearning: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey pounceth for food. If I say, I will shall forget my complaint meditation, I will leave off shall forsake my heaviness face, and comfort relax myself: I am afraid of fear all my sorrows contortions, I know that thou wilt shalt not hold exonerate me innocent. If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? If I wash bathe myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean cleanse my palms in purity; Yet shalt thou plunge dip me in the ditch pit of ruin, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman reprover betwixt us, that might lay place his hand upon us both. Let him take his rod away turn aside his scion from me, and let not his fear terrify terror frighten me: Then would should I speak word, and not fear awe him; but it is not so with me. My soul is weary of my loatheth life; I will leave shall forsake my complaint meditation upon myself; I will speak shall word in the bitterness of my soul.

and treads on the bamahs of the sea? Who works Ash, Kesil and Kimah and the chambers of the south? Who works great — unable to be probed? Yes, and marvels without number? Behold, he passes by me and I see him not; and he passes on, and I discern him not. Behold, he seizes! Who turns him back? Who says to him, What work you? Elohah turns not back his wrath; the proud helpers prostrate under him. How much less answer I him? — choose out my words with him? Whom, though I am justified, yet I answer not; but seek charism from my judge. Though I call and he answers me not yet I trust that he hearkens to my voice; though he crushes me with a whirling and abounds my wounds gratuitously; though he gives to not return my spirit but satiates me with bitternesses — If of force, behold, he is strong! If of judgment, who congregates to me? If I justify myself, my own mouth judges me wicked; I — integrious, it also perverts me; I — integrious, yet I know not my soul; I spurn my life.

This is one, so I say, He finishes off the integrious and the wicked.

If the whip suddenly deathifies, he derides at the testing of the innocent. He gives the earth into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of the judges; If not, where and who is he? My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good; they pass away as the ships of yearning — as the eagle pounces for food.

If I say, I forget my meditation I forsake my face and relax I fear all my contortions — I know you exonerate me not.

If I bathe myself with snow water and cleanse my palms in purity; yet you dip me in the pit of ruin and my own clothes abhor me.

31 32 33 34 35

For he is not a man as I, that I answer him and we come together in judgment. There is no reprover between us to place his hand on us both. He turns aside his scion from me; his terror frightens me not; I word, and awe him not; but not so with me. My soul loathes life; I forsake my self—meditation; I word in the bitterness of my soul.

I will shall say unto God Elohah, Do not condemn me Judge me not wicked; shew me let me know wherefore thou contendest with me. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise spurn the work labour of thine hands thy palms, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days of the mighty, That thou enquirest seekest after mine iniquity my perversity, and searchest after my sin? Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver escape out of thine hand. Thine hands have made formed me and fashioned worked me together round about; yet thou dost destroy swallowest me. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made worked me as the clay; and wilt shalt thou bring return me into dust again? Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? Thou hast clothed enrobed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced hedged me with bones and sinews. Thou hast granted worked me life and favour mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved guarded my spirit. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. If I sin, then thou markest guardest me, and thou wilt shalt not acquit exonerate me from mine iniquity. If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous justified, yet will shall I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion satiated with abasement; therefore see thou mine affliction my humiliation; For it increaseth riseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce roaring lion: and again turnest back; thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation aboundest thy vexation upon with me; changes and war hostility are against me. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost expired, and no eye had seen me! I should have been As not being as though I had not been I have become; I should have been carried — brought from the womb belly to the grave tomb. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone set away from me, that I may take comfort relax a little, Before I go whence I shall and not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light shining is as darkness. SOPHAR ANSWERS Then answered Zophar Sophar the Naamathite Naamahiy, and said, Should not the multitude abundance of words be answered? and should a man full of talk lips be justified? Should thy lies make men hold their peace hush? and when thou mockest deridest, shall no man make thee ashamed one shame thee? For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean pure in thine eyes. But oh that God would speak who giveth that Elohah should word, and open his lips against thee;

I say to Elohah, Judge me not wicked; let me know why you contend with me. Is it good to you that you oppress? That you spurn the labor of your palms? And shine on the counsel of the wicked? Have you eyes of flesh? See you as man sees? Are your days as the days of man? — your years as days of the mighty that you seek after my perversity and search after my sin? You know I am not wicked; and there is no escape from your hand. Your hands formed me and worked me together all around; yet you swallow me. Remember, I beseech you, that you worked me as the clay; and return me to dust. Pour you not me out as milk? — curdle me as cheese? You enrobe me with skin and flesh and hedge me with bones and sinews: you work me life and mercy and your visitation guards my spirit; and you hide these in your heart; I know this is with you. If I sin, you guard me — you exonerate me not from my iniquity. If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be justified, yet I lift not my head. I satiate with abasement; you see my humiliation; for it rises; you hunt me as a roaring lion; you turn back; you show yourself marvellous in me; you renew your witnesses against me and abound your vexation with me; changes and hostility are against me. Why then brought you me forth from the womb? Oh that I had expired and no eye had seen me! As not being I became; — brought from the belly to the tomb. Are my days not few? Cease, set away from me that I relax a little — ere I go and not return to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; — a land of darkness as darkness; of the shadow of death without any order where the shining is as darkness. SOPHAR ANSWERS And Sophar the Naamahiy answers and says, Answer we not this abundance of words? — justify a man full of lips? — that your lies hush men? — and when you deride, that no one shames you?

And you say, My doctrine is pure! and, I am pure in your eyes!

And that he would shew should tell thee the secrets concealments of wisdom, that they are double to that which is a double substance! Know that God Elohah exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth thy perversity. Canst thou by searching probing find out God Elohah? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection conclusion of Shadday? It is as high as heaven the heavens; what canst doest thou do? deeper than hell sheol; what canst knowest thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. If he cut off pass by, and shut up, or gather together congregate, then who can hinder shall turn him back? For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness mischief also; will he not then consider shall no one discern it? For vain empty man would be wise dishearteneth, though man humanity be born birthed like a wild ass's runner's colt. If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands spread thy palms toward him; If iniquity mischief be in thine hand, put remove it far away, and let not wickedness dwell tabernacle in thy tabernacles tents. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot apart from blemish; yea, thou shalt be stedfast firmed, and shalt not fear awe: Because thou shalt forget thy misery toil, and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age transcience shall be clearer than arise above the noonday: thou shalt shine forth fly, thou shalt be as the morning. And thou shalt be secure confide, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety lie down confidently. Also thou shalt lie down repose, and none shall make tremble thee afraid; yea many shall make suit unto thee stroke thy face. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail be finished off, and they shall not escape flight destructeth from them, and their hope shall be as the giving up expiration of the ghost soul.

The tabernacles tents of robbers ravagers prosper serenify, and they that provoke God El are secure confident; into whose hand God Elohah bringeth abundantly. But ask now I beseech the beasts animals, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls flyers of the air, and they shall tell thee: Or speak meditate to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare scribe unto thee.

The measure thereof is longer than the earth and broader than the sea. If he passes by, and shuts up or congregate, who then turns him back? For he knows vain men; he sees mischief; no one discerns! For empty man disheartens, and humanity births as the colt of a wild runner. If you prepare your heart and spread your palms toward him; if mischief be in your hand, remove it far away; tabernacle no wickedness in your tents. Then lift your face apart from blemish; yes, be firmed and awe not; because you forget your toil and remember it as passing waters; and transcience rises above the noonday; you fly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you are as the morning; and you confide because there is hope; yes, you dig and lie down confidently; and you repose and no one trembles you; yes, many stroke your face.

And the eyes of the wicked finish off and flight destructs from them and their hope is as the expiration of the soul.

And Iyob answers and says, Truly you are the people; and with you, wisdom dies. Yes, I have a heart as you; I fall not lower than you; yes, who knows not such as these?

I YOB ANSWERS 2 3

I am as one ridiculed by his friend, who calls on Elohah and he answers him; he ridicules the just, the integrious.

He who prepares to waver with his feet is as a flambeau disrespected in the thoughts of him who relaxes. The tents of ravagers serenify and they who provoke El are confident; into whose hand Elohah brings.

And yet, I beseech, ask the animals to teach you; and the flyers of the air to tell you; or meditate to the earth to teach you; and the fishes of the sea to scribe to you. Who knows not that in all these the hand of Yah Veh worked this? In whose hand is the soul of all living

With the ancient aged is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength might, he hath counsel and understanding. Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. Behold, he withholdeth restraineth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. With him is strength and wisdom substance: the deceived they that err inadvertently and the deceiver they that cause to err inadvertently are his. He leadeth walketh counsellors away spoiled stripped, and maketh the judges fools to halal. He looseth the bond of kings sovereigns, and girdeth bindeth their loins with a girdle. He leadeth princes walketh priests away spoiled stripped, and overthroweth perverteth the mighty perennial. He removeth away turneth aside the speech lip of the trusty trustworthy, and taketh away the understanding taste of the aged. He poureth contempt disrespect upon princes volunteers, and weakeneth looseth the strength girdle of the mighty gatherers. He discovereth deep things exposeth depths out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. He increaseth the nations goyim, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth spreadeth the nations goyim, and straiteneth leadeth them again. He taketh away turneth aside the heart of the chief head of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander staggar in a wilderness void where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man as intoxicated. Lo Behold, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it discerned. What ye know As to your knowledge, the same do I know also: I am not inferior to no more fallen than you. Surely I would speak But I word to the Almighty Shadday, and I desire to reason with God reprove El. But ye are forgers patchers of lies falsehoods, ye are all physicians of no value worthless healers. O that Who giveth, that in hushing, ye would altogether hold your peace should hush! and it should be your wisdom. Hear now I beseech, my reasoning reproof, and hearken to the pleadings defence of my lips. Will Shall ye speak wickedly word wickedness for God El? and talk word deceitfully for him? Will Shall ye accept his person lift his face? will shall ye contend for God El? Is it good that he should search probe you out? or as one man mocketh another a man, do ye so mock ye him? In reproving, He will surely shall reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons covertly lift faces. Shall not his excellency exalting make frighten you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? Your remembrances memorials are like unto ashes, your bodies backs to bodies backs of clay. Hold your peace Hush, let me alone, that I may speak word,

Does not the ear proof utterances? — the palate taste food? With the aged is wisdom; and in length of days understanding; with him, wisdom and might, to him, counsel and understanding. Behold, he breaks down and no one builds; he shuts a man and no one opens. Behold, he restrains the waters, and they dry; he sends them out and they overturn the earth. With him is strength and substance; they who err inadvertently and they who cause to err inadvertently are his. He walks counsellors away stripped and has the judges halal; he loosens the bond of sovereigns and binds their loins with a girdle; he walks priests away stripped and perverts the perennial; he turns aside the lip of the trustworthy and takes away the taste of the aged; he pours disrespect on volunteers and loosens the girdle of the gatherers; he exposes depths from darkness and brings the shadow of death to light. He increases the goyim and destroys them; he spreads the goyim and leads them; he turns aside the heart of the head of the people of the earth; and staggars them in a void where there is no way; they grope in the dark without light and he staggers them as intoxicated. Behold, my eye sees all, my ear hears and discerns. As to your knowledge, I also know; I am no more fallen than you. Yet I word to Shadday and I desire to reprove El: and yet, you are patchers of falsehoods, you all — worthless healers. Who gives, that in hushing, you hush; that it be your wisdom. I beseech, hear my reproof and hearken to the defence of my lips. Word you wickedness for El? — word deceitfully for him? — lift his face? — contend for El? Is it good that he probe you? As one mocks a man, mock you him? In reproving, he reproves you, if you covertly lift faces. His exaltings, frighten they you not? — his dread falling on you? Your memorials are to ashes, as your backs to backs of clay. Hush, leave me alone to word;

Though he slay Behold, he severeth me, yet will I trust in him I shall not await: but I will maintain shall reprove mine own ways before him at his face. He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite a profaner shall not come before him at this face. Hear diligently my speech Hearken! Hear my utterances, and my declaration utterance with your ears. Behold now I beseech, I have ordered lined up my cause judgment; I know that I shall be justified. Who is he that will plead shall contend with me? for now, if I hold my tongue hush, I shall give up the ghost expire. Only do work not these two things unto me: then will shall I not hide myself from thee thy face. Withdraw thine hand Remove thy palm far from me: and let not thy dread make terror frighten me afraid. Then call thou, and I will answer shall respond: or let me speak word, and answer thou me. How many are mine iniquities my perversities and sins? make have me to know my transgression rebellion and my sin. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest fabricatest me for thine enemy? Wilt Shalt thou break a leaf driven to and fro terrify a dispersed leaf? and wilt shalt thou pursue the dry stubble? For thou writest bitter things inscribest bitternesses against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities perversities of my youth.

He cometh forth like a flower blossom, and is cut down clipped: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth standeth not. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? Who can bring a clean thing shall give purity out of an unclean foul? not one. Seeing his days are determined appointed, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed worked his bounds statutes that he cannot pass; Turn Look away from him, that he may rest cease, till he shall accomplish please, as an hireling, his day.

and whatever passes over me. Why lift I my flesh in my teeth? — set my soul in my palm? Behold, he severs me, yet I await not; surely I reprove my own ways at his face. Also he is my salvation; for no profaner comes at this face. Hearken! Hear my utterances! — my utterance with your ears. Behold, I beseech, I line up my judgment; I know I am justified. Who contends with me? for now, if I hush, I expire. Only work not these two to me: that I not hide from your face; remove your palm far from me and let not your terror frighten me. And you call and I — I respond; or, I word and you answer me. How many are my perversities and sins? — have me know my rebellion and my sin? Why hide your face and fabricate me for your enemy? Terrify you a dispersed leaf? — pursue the dry stubble? For you inscribe bitternesses against me that I possess the perversities of my youth. You also set my feet in the stocks and guard all my paths; you engrave on the roots of my feet; and as rotteness he wears out as moth eaten clothing. Humanity, birthed of a woman, is short of days and satiated with commotion. He comes forth as a blossom, and is clipped; and he flees as a shadow, and stands not. And open you your eyes on such a one and bring me into judgment with you? Who gives purity from foul? No one! Seeing his days are appointed, the number of his months are with you, you work his statutes and he passes not; look away from him, so that he ceases, until as a hireling, he is pleased in his day. For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it change again, that its sprout not cease. Though the root age in the earth and the stump die in the dust; and blossoms through the scent of water and works harvest as a plant; the mighty dies and decays; yes, humanity expires — and where is he? The waters gad about from the sea and the flood parches and dries: thus man lies down and rises not; until the heavens be no more they waken not — waken not from their sleep.

The wicked man travaileth with pain writheth all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor tyrant. A dreadful sound voice of dread is in his ears: in prosperity shalom the destroyer ravager shall come upon him. He believeth trusteth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited watched for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready prepared at his hand. Trouble Tribulation and anguish distress shall make frighten him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king sovereign ready to the battle tumult. For he stretcheth out spreadeth his hand against God El, and strengtheneth himself prevaileth mightily against the Almighty Shadday.

And he dwelleth tabernacleth in desolate cut off cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth settleth, which are ready to become heaps heap. He shall not be rich enrich, neither shall his substance continue valuables arise, neither shall he prolong spread the perfection acquisitions thereof upon the earth.

He trusts not that he returns from darkness and he is watched by the sword. He wanders abroad for bread! Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is prepared at his hand. Tribulation and distress frighten him; — prevail against him as a sovereign ready to the tumult; he spreads his hand against El and prevails mightily against Shadday. He runs on him — on his neck — on the thick bosses of his shields; because he covers his face with fat and works his flanks plump; and he tabernacles in cut off cities and in houses which no man settles — ready to be heaped. He neither enriches, neither his valuables arise, nor his acquisitions spread on the earth; nor turns aside from darkness. The flame withers his sprouts and by the wind/spirit of his mouth he turns aside. He who strays, trusts not in vanity; for vanity is his exchange; — so be it neither fulfilled in his day nor his palm leaf green; he violates his sour grape as the vine and casts his blossom as the olive.

Yes, the light of the wicked extinguishes and the flame of his fire illuminates not; the light darkens in his tent and his lamp extinguishes with him; the paces of his strength constrict and his own counsel casts him down. For he is sent into a net by his own feet and he walks on a netting; the snare holds him by the heel and the robber prevails against him; his cord is hidden in the earth — his trap in the path. Terrors frighten him all around and scatter him to his feet; his strength famishes and calamity prepares at his side. It devours the strength of his veins — the firstbirthed of death devours his veins. His confidence is torn from his tent and paces him to the sovereign of terrors. It tabernacles in his tent without him; sulphur is winnowed on his habitation of rest. His roots wither below and above his harvest is clipped: his memorial destructs from the earth and he has no name at the face of the outways: he is exiled from light into darkness and chased from the world. He has neither son nor posterity among his people, nor survivors in his sojournings. They who come after him astonish at his day as the ancients whirl away. Surely such are the tabernacles of the wicked and this is the place of him who knows not El. I YOB ANSWERS

ye are not ashamed yet ye shame not that ye make yourselves strange to injure me. And be it indeed truly that I have erred inadvertently, mine error remaineth stayeth with myself. If indeed truly ye will magnify yourselves shall greaten against me, and plead reprove against me my reproach: Know now that God Elohah hath overthrown twisted me, and hath compassed surrounded me with his net lair. Behold, I cry out of wrong violence, but I am not heard answered: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. He hath fenced up walled in my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory honour, and taken turned aside the crown from my head. He hath destroyed me pulled me down on every side all around, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed plucked like a tree. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth fabricated me unto him as one of his enemies tribulators. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle tent. He hath put removed my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance they whom I know are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk neighbours have failed deceased, and my familiar friends they whom I know have forgotten me. They that dwell sojourn in mine house, and my maids, count fabricate me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight eyes. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer answered me not; I intreated him sought his charism with my mouth. My breath spirit is strange to my wife woman, though I intreated and my charism for the children's sake of mine own body to the sons of my belly. Yea, young children despised sucklings spurned me; I arose, and they spake worded against me. All my inward friends private councilmen abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. My bone cleaveth adhereth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Have pity upon me Grant me charism, have pity upon me grant me charism, O ye my friends; for the hand of God Elohah hath touched me. Why do ye persecute pursue me as God El, and are not satisfied with my flesh? Oh Who giveth that my words utterances were now written! inscribed? oh Who giveth that they were printed inscribed in a book! scroll? That they were graven hewn with an iron pen stylus and lead in the rock for ever eternally! For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand arise at the latter day upon the earth dust: And though after my skin worms destroy this body be stricken, yet in my flesh shall I see God Elohah: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold see, and not another a stranger; though my reins be consumed finished off within me my bosom. But ye should say, Why persecute pursue we him, seeing the root of the matter word is found in me? Be Dodge ye afraid at the face of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments furious are the perversities of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment the plea.

yet you shame not that you injure me. And also, I truly erred inadvertently; my error stays with me. If you truly greaten against me and reprove against my reproach; know now that Elohah twisted me and surrounded me with his lair. Behold, I cry from violence, but no answer; I cry, but no judgment: he walls in my way so I cannot pass; and sets darkness in my paths: he strips me of my honor and turns aside the crown from my head: he pulls me down all around, and I go; and he plucks my hope as a tree: He kindles his wrath against me and fabricates me as one of his tribulators. His troops come together and raise their way against me and encamp around my tent: he removes my brothers from me; and they whom I know are verily estranged from me: my neighbours decease and they whom I know forget me: they who sojourn in my house and my maids fabricate me for a stranger — an alien in their eyes. I call my servant and he answers not; I seek his charism with my mouth: my spirit is strange to my woman and my charism to the sons of my belly: yes, sucklings spurn me; I rise and they word against me: all my private councilmen abhor me and they whom I love turn against me: my bone adheres to my skin and to my flesh and I escape with the skin of my t`eeth. Grant me charism — grant me charism, O my friends; for the hand of Elohah touches me. Why pursue you me as El? — and not satisfied with my flesh? Who gives that my utterances be inscribed? Who gives that they be inscribed in a scroll — hewn eternally with an iron stylus and lead in the rock! I know that my redeemer lives and rises at the latter on the dust; and after my skin becomes stricken, yet in my flesh I see Elohah — see for myself — my eyes see and not a stranger; though my reins finish off within my bosom. But you say, Why pursue we him seeing the root of the word is found in me? Dodge you at the face of the sword? Furious are the perversities of the sword, so that you know there is the plea.

Then answered Zophar Sophar the Naamathite Naamahiy, and said, Therefore do my thoughts sentiments cause me to answer respond, and for this I make haste hasten. I have heard the check discipline of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding discernment causeth me to answer. Knowest thou not this of old eternally, since man humanity was placed upon earth, That the triumphing shout of the wicked is short, and the joy cheer of the hypocrite profaner but for a moment blink? Though his excellency exaltation mount up ascend to the heavens, and his head reach unto the thick clouds; Yet he shall perish for ever destruct in perpetuity like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he? He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. The eye also which saw scanned him shall not add to see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold observe him. His children sons shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods strength. His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. Though wickedness evil be sweet sweeteneth in his mouth, though he hid concealeth it under his tongue; Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep withhold it still within his mouth palate: Yet his meat bread in his bowels inwards is turned, it is the gall venom of asps within him. He hath swallowed down riches valuables, and he shall vomit them up again: God El shall cast dispossess them out of his belly. He shall suck the poison rosh of asps: the viper's hisser's tongue shall slay slaughter him. He shall not see the rivers rivulets, the floods, the brooks wadies of honey and butter. That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow down: according to his substance valuables thus shall the restitution exchange be, and he shall not rejoice therein leap for joy. Because he hath oppressed crushed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away stripped an house which he builded not; Surely he shall not feel quietness know serenity in his belly, he shall not save rescue of that which he desired. There shall none of his meat be left food survive; therefore none shall no man look for writhe his goods. In the fulness of his sufficiency gluttony he shall be in straits constricted: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. When he is about to fill his belly, God He shall cast send the fury fuming of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. He shall flee from the iron weapon armour, and the bow of steel copper shall strike pass him through. It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering lightning sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. All darkness shall be hid in his secret places hideouts: a fire not blown puffed shall consume him; it shall go ill evilly with him that is left surviveth in his tabernacle tent. The heaven heavens shall reveal expose his iniquity perversity; and the earth shall rise up against him. The increase produce of his house shall depart be exposed,

SOPHAR ANSWERS And Sophar the Naamahiy answers and says, So my sentiments have me respond and for this I hasten. I hear the discipline of my reproach and my spirit of discernment answers. Know you this eternally — since placing humanity on earth, that the shouting of the wicked is near? and the cheer of the profaner is for a blink? Though his exaltation ascend to the heavens and his head touch the thick clouds; as his own dung, he destructs in perpetuity; they who see him say, Where is he? He flies as a dream and is not found; yes, — chased away as a vision of the night. Neither the eye scans to add to see him; nor his place observes him any more. His sons seek to please the poor and his hands restore their strength. His bones lie down with him in the dust; — full of his youth. Though evil sweetens in his mouth, though he conceals it under his tongue; though he spares it and forsakes it not; and withholds it still within his palate; yet his bread in his inwards turns — the venom of asps within him. He swallows valuables and vomits them; El dispossess them from his belly; he sucks the rosh of asps the tongue of the hisser slaughters him; he sees not the rivulets, the floods, the wadies of honey and butter. He restores that for which he labors but swallows not; as his valuables, thus the exchange — and he leaps not for joy. He crushes — he forsakes the poor; he strips a house he built not; surely he knows no serenity in his belly; he rescues none of his desires: none of his food survives; so no one writhes his goods. In the fulness of his gluttony, he constricts; every hand of the wicked comes on him. In the fulness of his belly, he sends his fuming wrath on him — rains on him while he eats. He flees from the iron armour and the bow of copper passes through him; — drawn and comes from his body; yes, the lightning sword comes from his gall; with terrors on him. All darkness hides in his hideouts; a fire not puffed consumes him; it goes evilly with him who survives in his tent. The heavens expose his perversity; and the earth rises against him: the produce of his house exposes

and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. This is the portion allotment of a wicked man humanity from God Elohim, and the heritage inheritance appointed unto him by God of his sayings of El. I YOB ANSWERS But Job Iyob answered and said, Hear diligently my speech In hearing, hear my utterances, and let this be your consolations. Suffer Allow me that I may speak word; and after that I have spoken worded, mock on deride. As for me, is my complaint meditation to man humanity? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled curtailed? Mark Face me, and be astonished, and lay set your hand upon your mouth. Even when I remember I am afraid terrify, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. Wherefore do the wicked live, become old antiquate, yea, are mighty prevail mightily in power valour? Their seed is established in their sight with them at their face, and their offspring before at their eyes. Their houses are safe at shalom from fear dread, neither is the rod scion of God Elohah upon them. Their bull gendereth ox passeth, and faileth loatheth not; their cow calveth heifer slippeth away, and casteth aborteth not her calf. They send forth their little ones sucklings like a flock, and their children dance. They take lift the timbrel tambourine and harp, and rejoice cheer at the sound voice of the organ woodwind. They spend wear away, finishing off their days in wealth good, and in a moment blink, go down descend to the grave sheol. Therefore they say unto God El, Depart Turn from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty Shadday, that we should serve him? and what profit benefit should we have, if we pray intercede unto him? Lo Behold, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. How oft is the candle lamp of the wicked put out extinguished! and how oft cometh their destruction calamity upon them! God distributeth sorrows He apportioneth pangs in his anger wrath. They are as stubble straw before at the face of the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away hurricane stealeth. God Elohah layeth up his iniquity punishment of mischief for his children sons: he rewardeth doth shalam him, and he shall know it. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath fury of the Almighty Shadday. For what pleasure delight hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off severed in the midst half? Shall any teach God El knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high lofted. One dieth in his full strength the integrity of his bones, being wholly at ease serene and quiet secure. His breasts pails are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure good.

And Iyob answers and says, In hearing, hear my utterances — this your consolation. Allow me to word; and after I word, deride. As for me, Is my meditation to humanity? Why then is my spirit not curtailed? Face me and astonish and set your hand on your mouth. Yes, when I remember I terrify and trembling takes hold on my flesh. Why do the wicked live? antiquate? — yes, prevail mightily in valour? Their seed establishes at their face and their offspring at their eyes; their houses are at shalom from dread, the scion of Elohah is not on them. Their ox passes and loathes not; their heifer slips away and aborts not her calf. They send forth their sucklings as a flock and their children dance; they lift the tambourine and harp and cheer at the voice of the woodwind; they wear away — finish off their days in good; and in a blink, descend to sheol. They say to El, Turn from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways. Who is Shadday, that we serve him? and what benefit have we if we intercede to him? Behold, their good is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me. How often the lamp of the wicked extinguishes! And their calamity comes on them! He apportions pangs in his wrath; — as straw at the face of the wind and as chaff stolen by the hurricane. Elohah lays up his punishment of mischief for his sons; — shalam him so that he knows. His eyes see his destruction and he drinks of the fury of Shadday. For how delights he in his house after him, when the number of his months is severed in half? Whoever teaches El knowledge — seeing he judges the lofty? One dies in the integrity of his bones, wholly serene and secure: his pails are full of milk and his bones moistened with marrow. Another dies with bitter soul and never eats good. Together they lie in the dust; the maggots cover them. Behold,

Is it any pleasure delight to the Almighty Shadday, that thou art righteous justified? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect integrious? Will Shall he reprove thee for fear awe of thee? will shall he enter with thee into judgment? Is not thy wickedness evil great? and thine iniquities infinite thy perversities endless? For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought gratuitously, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

Which were cut down plucked out of time, whose foundation was overflown poured with a flood: Which said unto God El, Depart Turn away from us: and what can the Almighty Shadday do for them? Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. The righteous just see it, and are glad cheer: and the innocent laugh deride them to scorn.

Ask you not of them who pass by the way? Recognize you not their signs — that the evil are spared to the day of calamity? — to be brought forth to the day of fury? Who tells his way to his face?

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth worketh. For he performeth shall shalam the thing that is appointed for me my statute: and many such things are with him. Therefore am I troubled terrified at his presence face: when I consider discern, I am afraid of dread him. For God maketh El tenderizeth my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth Shadday terrifieth me: Because I was not cut off exterminated before at the face of the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

O that I line up my judgment at his face and fill my mouth with reproofs. O that I know the utterances he answers me and discern what he says to me. Contends he against me with his abundant force? No; but he sets it in me. There the straight reprove him; and in perpetuity, I slip away from my judge. Behold, I go eastward, and he is not; and backward, and I discern him not; on the left where he works, and I see not; he shrouds himself on the right, and I see not. For he knows my way; he proofs me; I come forth as gold. My foot holds to his steps; I guard his way; and neither pervert nor go back from the misvah of his lips: I treasure the sayings of his mouth more than my statutes. And he is in one — and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, he works. For he shalams my statute; and many such others with him.

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty Shadday, do they that know him not see his days? Some remove They overtake the landmarks borders; they violently take away flocks strip droves, and feed thereof. They drive away the ass she burro of the fatherless orphan, they take the widow's ox for a pledge. They turn pervert the needy out of the way: the poor humble of the earth hide themselves together. Behold, as wild asses runners in the desert wilderness, go they forth to their work deeds; rising betimes early for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food plains for bread for them and for their children lads. They reap every one his corn harvest their fodder in the field: and they gather glean the vintage vineyard of the wicked. They cause the naked to lodge stay overnight without clothing robe, that they have no covering in the cold. They are wet moist with the showers floods of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter refuge. They pluck strip the fatherless orphan from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor humble. They cause him to go naked without clothing robe, and they take away the sheaf omer from the hungry famished; Which make press oil within between their walls, and tread their winepresses troughs, and suffer thirst. Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded pierced crieth out: yet God layeth Elohah setteth not folly frivolity to them. They are of those that rebel against the light; they know recognize not the ways thereof, nor abide settle in the paths thereof. The murderer rising with the light killeth severeth the poor humble and needy, and in the night is as a thief. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth guardeth for the twilight evening breeze, saying, No eye shall see observe me: and disguiseth setteth his face covertly. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked sealed for themselves in the daytime day: they know not the light. For together, the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know recognize them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. He is swift as at the face of the waters; their portion allotment is cursed abased in the earth: he beholdeth faceth not the way of the vineyards. Drought Parch and heat consume strip the snow waters: so doth the grave shall Sheol those which have sinned. The womb shall forget him; the worm maggot shall feed sweetly on suck him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. He evil entreateth tendeth the barren sterile that beareth birtheth not: and doeth not good to well—pleaseth not the widow. He draweth also the mighty with his power force: he riseth up, and no man is sure of one trusteth his life. Though it be given him to be in safety He giveth him confidence, whereon he resteth leaneth; yet his eyes are upon their ways. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low subdued; they are taken out of the way shut up as all other, and cut off clipped as the tops of the ears of corn. And if it be not so now, who will shall make me a liar, and make set my speech nothing worth utterances as nought?

Behold, as wild runners in the wilderness, they go to their deeds; rising early for a prey; to the plains for bread — for them and their lads; they harvest their fodder in the field; they glean the vineyard of the wicked; they stay the naked overnight without robe that they have no covering in the cold; they are moist with the floods of the mountains and embrace the rock for want of a refuge; they strip the orphan from the breast and take a pledge of the humble; they have him go naked without robe; they take away the omer from the famished; they press oil between their walls and tread their troughs — and thirst. Men of the city groan and the soul of the pierced cries out; yet Elohah sets not frivolity to them. They are of those who rebel against the light; they neither recognize the ways nor settle in the paths. The murderer rising with the light severs the humble and needy as a thief in the night: the eye of the adulterer guards for the evening breeze, saying, No eye observes me! — and covertly sets his face. In the dark they dig through houses which they sealed for themselves in the day; they know not the light; when they are together morning is as the shadow of death; if one recognizes them they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. He is swift at the face of the waters; their allotment abases in the earth; he faces not the way of the vineyards. Parch and heat strip the snow waters as Sheol to them who sin: the womb forgets him; the maggot sucks him; — remembered no more: and wickedness breaks as a tree. He neither tends the sterile who birth nor well—pleases the widow: he draws the mighty with his force; he rises, and no one trusts his life: he gives him confidence whereon to lean yet his eyes are on their ways. They exalt for a little, then go and subdue — shut up as all the others — clipped as the tops of the ears. And if not, who proves me a liar? Who sets my utterances as naught?

BILDAD ANSWERS Then answered Bildad the Shuhite Shuachiy, and said, Dominion and fear dread are with him, he maketh peace worketh shalom in his high places heights. Is there any number of his armies troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise? How then can man be justified with God El? or how can he be clean purified, that is born birthed of a woman? Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight eyes. How much less man, that is a worm — a maggot? and the son of men humanity, which is a worm — a maggot? I YOB ANSWERS But Job Iyob answered and said, How hast thou helped him that is without power hath no force? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength? How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is abundantly made known his substance? To whom hast thou uttered words told utterances? and whose spirit breath came from thee? Dead things are formed from Ghosts writhe under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof dwell they who tabernacle there. Hell Sheol is naked before in front of him, and destruction Abaddon hath no covering. He stretcheth out spreadeth the north over the empty place void, and hangeth the earth upon nothing naught whatever. He bindeth up tribulateth the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent split under them. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. He hath compassed circled the face of the waters with bounds statutes, until the day light and night come to an end dark conclude. The pillars of heaven tremble the heavens quake and are astonished marvel at his reproof rebuke. He divideth splitteth the sea with his power force, and by his understanding discernment he smiteth through striketh the proud. By his spirit he hath garnished glorified the heavens; his hand hath formed writhed the crooked fugitive serpent. Lo Behold, these are parts the end of his ways: but how little a portion an inkling of a word is heard of him? but the thunder of his power might who can understand discerneth? Moreover Job Iyob continued added to lift his parable proverb, and said, As God El liveth, who hath taken away turned aside my judgment; and the Almighty Shadday, who hath vexed embittered my soul; All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God Elohah is in my nostrils; My lips shall not speak word wickedness, nor my tongue utter mutter deceit. God forbid Far be it that I should justify you: till I die expire I will shall not remove turn aside from mine integrity from me. My righteousness justness I hold fast uphold, and will shall not let it go slacken: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live all my days. Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous wicked.

BILDAD ANSWERS And Bildad the Shuachiy answers and says, Dominion and dread are with him; he works shalom in his heights. Is there any number of his troops? On whom rises not his light? How then is man justified with El? How is he, birthed of a woman, purified? Behold even to the moon and it shines not; yes, in his eyes, the stars are not pure; How much less man — a maggot? and the son of humanity — a maggot? I YOB ANSWERS

And Iyob answers and says, How help you him who has no force? — save the arm that has no strength? — counsel him who has no wisdom? — abundantly make known his substance? To whom tell you utterances? Whose breath came from you? Ghosts writhe under the waters with them who tabernacle there. Sheol is naked in front of him and Abaddon has no covering. He spreads the north over the void and hangs the earth on naught whatever; he tribulates the waters in his thick clouds and the cloud splits not under them; he holds back the face of his throne and spreads his cloud thereon; he circles the face of the waters with statutes until the light and dark conclude. The pillars of the heavens quake and marvel at his rebuke; he splits the sea with his force; by his discernment he strikes the proud: by his spirit he glorifies the heavens; his hand writhes the fugitive serpent.

Behold, these — the end of his ways; And how an inkling of a word is heard of him? And who discerns the thunder of his might?

And Iyob adds to lift his proverb, and says, El lives — who turns aside my judgment; and Shadday — who embitters my soul: for all the while my breath is in me and the spirit of Elohah in my nostrils: neither my lips word wickedness nor my tongue mutters deceit.

2 3 4 5 6 7

Far be it that I justify you; until I expire I turn not aside from my integrity. I uphold my justness and slacken not; my heart reproaches me not all my days: My enemy is as the wicked and he who rises against me as the wicked.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite profaner, though he hath gained, when God taketh away Elohah extracteth his soul? Will God Shall El hear his cry when trouble tribulation cometh upon him? Will Shall he delight himself in the Almighty Shadday? will shall he always at all times call upon God Elohah? I will shall teach you by the hand of God El: that which is with the Almighty Shadday will shall I not conceal. Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether in being vain, vain? This is the portion allotment of a man wicked humanity with God El, and the heritage inheritance of oppressors tyrants, which they shall receive take of the Almighty Shadday. If his children be multiplied sons abound, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. Those that remain of him His survivors shall be buried entombed in death: and his widows shall not weep. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment robes as the clay; He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on enrobe, and the innocent shall divide allot the silver. He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth sukkoth/brush arbor that the keeper maketh guardian worketh. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. Terrors take hold on overtake him as waters, a tempest hurricane stealeth him away in the night. The east wind carrieth easterly lifteth him away, and he departeth goeth: and as a storm hurleth whirleth him out of his place. For God And shall cast upon him, and not spare: in fleeing, he would fain flee fleeth out of his hand. Men They shall clap their hands palms at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. Surely there is a vein source for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine refine it. Iron is taken out of the earth dust, and brass copper is molten poured out of the stone. He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out probeth all perfection conclusion: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. The flood wadi breaketh out from the inhabitant sojourner; even the waters — forgotten of the foot: they are dried up languish, they are gone drift away from men. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. There is a path which no fowl swooper knoweth, and which the vulture's hawk's eye hath not seen scanned: The lion's whelps sons of pride have not trodden it, nor the fierce roaring lion passed by it attacked. He putteth forth spreadeth his hand upon the rock flint; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. He cutteth out splitteth rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing all the esteemed. He bindeth the floods from overflowing weeping; and the thing that is hid concealed bringeth he forth to light. But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding discernment? Man knoweth not the price thereof appraisal; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth abyss saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold Gold shall not be given for it, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

For what is the hope of the profaner, though he gains, when Elohah extracts his soul? Hears El his cry when tribulation overcomes him? Delights he in Shadday? Calls he on Elohah at all times? I teach you by the hand of El; what is with Shadday I conceal not. Behold, all you yourselves see; why then, in being vain, are you so vain? This is the allotment of wicked humanity with El; and the inheritance of tyrants which they take of Shadday. If his sons abound, it is for the sword; and his offspring satisfy not with bread: his survivors entomb in death and his widows weep not: though he heaps silver as the dust and prepares robes as the clay: he prepares, and the just enrobe; and the innocent allot the silver: he builds his house as a moth and as a sukkoth/brush arbor which the guardian works. The rich lies down, and he is not gathered; he opens his eyes, and he is not: terrors overtake him as waters; a hurricane steals him away in the night: the easterly lifts him and he goes — whirls him from his place: and casts on him and spares not; in fleeing, he flees from his hand. They clap their palms at him and hiss him from his place. Surely there is a source for the silver and a place to refine gold; iron is taken from the dust and copper poured from the stone. He sets an end to darkness and probes all conclusion — the stones of darkness and the shadow of death. The wadi breaks out from the sojourner; — forgotten by the foot; they languish; they drift away from men. The earth, from which comes bread; and underneath, turns as fire. The stones thereof are the place of sapphires; and it has dust of gold. There is a path which neither the swooper knows nor the eye of the hawk scans; nor the sons of pride tread, nor the roaring lion attacks. He spreads his hand on the flint he overturns the mountains by the roots: he splits rivers among the rocks and his eye sees all the esteemed: he binds the floods from weeping and brings the concealed to light. And wisdom, where is it found? Where is the place of discernment? Man neither knows the appraisal; nor finds it in the land of the living. The abyss says, Not in me! And the sea says, Not with me! Neither is gold given for it nor silver weighed for the price:

It cannot be valued Nor balanced with the gold ore of Ophir, with the precious esteemed onyx, or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot equal be not ranked with it: and the exchange of it nor exchanged shall not be for jewels instruments of fine pure gold. No mention Nor remembered shall be made of coral corals, or of pearls: for the price sowing of wisdom is above rubies pearls. The topaz of Ethiopia Kush shall not equal be ranked with it, neither shall it be valued balanced with pure gold ore. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding discernment? Seeing it is hid concealed from the eyes of all living, and kept close hidden from the fowls flyers of the air heavens. Destruction Abaddon and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. God understandeth Elohim discerneth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven heavens; To make work the weight for the winds; and he weigheth gaugeth the waters by measure. When he made worketh a decree statute for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder voice: Then did he see it, and declare scribe it; he prepared it, yea, and searched probed it out. And unto man humanity he said, Behold, the fear awe of the Lord Adonay, that is wisdom; and to depart turn aside from evil is understanding discernment. Moreover Job Iyob continued lifted to add his parable proverb, and said, Oh Who giveth that I were as in months past ancient moons, as in the days when God preserved Elohah guarded me; When his candle shined lamp halaled upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness; As I was in the days of my youth winter, when the secret private counsel of God Elohah was upon my tabernacle tent; When the Almighty Shadday was yet with me, when my children lads were round about me; When I washed bathed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers rivulets of oil; When I went out to the gate portal through the city, when I prepared my seat settlement in the street broadway! The young men lads saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up. The princes governors refrained talking uttering, and laid set their hand palm on their mouth. The nobles held eminent hid their peace voice, and their tongue cleaved adhered to the roof of their mouth palate. When the ear heard me, then it blessed called me blithesome; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: Because I delivered rescued the poor humble that cried, and the fatherless orphan, and him that had none to help him no helper. The blessing of him that was ready to perish destruct came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy shout. I put on righteousness enrobed justness, and it clothed enrobed me: my judgment was as a robe mantle and a diadem turban. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a father to the poor needy: and the cause contention which I knew not I searched out probed. And I brake the jaws molars of the wicked, and plucked cast the spoil prey out of his teeth. Then I said, I shall die expire in my nest,

nor balanced with the ore of Ophir — with the esteemed onyx, or the sapphire. Neither are the gold and the crystal ranked with it nor exchanged for instruments of pure gold: nor corals or pearls remembered; for the sowing of wisdom is above pearls. Neither is the topaz of Kush ranked with it; nor balanced with ore. Whence then comes wisdom? Where is the place of discernment? — seeing it is concealed from the eyes of all living — hidden from the flyers of the heavens. Abaddon and death say, We hear the fame with our ears: Elohim discerns the way and he knows the place: for he looks to the ends of the earth and sees under the whole heavens — to work the weight for the winds — to gauge the waters by measure. He works a statute for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the voice; then he sees and scribes; he prepares, yes, and probes. And to humanity he says, Behold, to Adonay is wisdom; and to turn aside from evil, discernment. And Iyob lifts to add his proverb and says, O that I were as in ancient moons — as in the days Elohah guarded me; when his lamp halaled on my head; when by his light I walked the darkness; as I was in the days of winter with the private counsel of Elohah on my tent: when Shadday was yet with me; when my lads surrounded me; when I bathed my steps with butter and the rock poured me rivulets of oil; when I went out to the portal through the city; when I prepared my settlement in the broadway! The lads saw me and hid themselves and the aged rose and stood; governors refrained uttering and set their palm on their mouth; the eminent hid their voice and their tongue adhered to their palate. When the ear heard, it called me blithesome; and when the eye saw, it gave me witness; because I rescued them who cried — the humble and the orphan and whoever had no helper.

The blessing of him who was ready to destruct came on me; and I caused the heart of the widow to shout.

I enrobed justness and it enrobed me; my judgment was as a mantle and a turban; I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame; — a father to the needy. I probed contentions that I knew not; I broke the molars of the wicked and cast the prey from his teeth.

and I shall multiply my days shall abound as the sand. My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night stayed overnight upon my branch clippings. My glory honour was fresh in new within me, and my bow was renewed changed in my hand. Unto me men gave ear they hearkened, and waited, and kept silence hushed at my counsel. After my words they spake reiterated not again; and my speech utterances dropped upon them. And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened gaped their mouth wide as for the latter after rain. If I laughed on them, they believed it trusted not; and the light of my countenance face they cast felled not down. I chose out their way, and sat chief settled as head, and dwelt tabernacled as a king sovereign in the army troops, as one that comforteth sigheth over the mourners. But now they that are younger of fewer days than I have me in derision ridicule me, whose fathers I would should have disdained spurned to have set with the dogs of my flock. Yea, whereto might the strength what is the force of their hands profit to me, in whom old age was perished maturity destructed? For want lack and famine hunger they were solitary sterile; fleeing gnawing into the wilderness parch in former time of yesternight desolate of devastation and waste ruin. Who cut up plucked mallows by the bushes shrubs, and juniper roots for their meat bread. They were driven forth exiled from among men the back, (they cried shouted after them as after a thief;) To dwell tabernacle in the cliffs chasms of the valleys wadies, in caves holes of the earth dust, and in the rocks. Among the bushes shrubs they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together scraped. They were children Sons of fools, yea, children sons of base nameless men: they were viler than ejected from the earth. And now am I their song strummer, yea, I am their byword utterance. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted humbled me, they have also let loose sent away the bridle before me from my face. Upon my right hand rise the youth offspring; they push send away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. They mar tear up my path, they set forward benefit my calamity, they have no helper. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters broad breach: in under the desolation devastation they rolled themselves upon me. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul reputation as the wind: and my welfare salvation passeth away as a thick cloud. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction humiliation have taken hold upon me. My bones are pierced penetrate in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest gnawing lieth not down. By the great force of my disease is my garment changed robe disguised: it bindeth me about as the collar mouth of my coat. He hath cast me into the mire clay, and I am become like dust and ashes. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear answerest me not:

and my days abound as the sand. My root spreads to the waters and the dew stays overnight on my clippings. My honor is new within me and my bow changes in my hand. To me they hearken and wait and hush at my counsel. After my words they reiterated not; and my utterances dropped on them; they awaited me as for the rain; they gaped their mouth as for the after rain. I laughed on them, they trusted not; and the light of my face they felled not. I chose their way, and settled as head; and tabernacled as a sovereign in the troops, as one who sighs over the mourners. And now they of fewer days than I ridicule me; whose fathers I spurned to set with the dogs of my flock. Yes, what is the force of their hands to me, in whom maturity destructs? For lack and hunger, they are sterile; gnawing into the parch of yesternight of devastation and ruin: who pluck mallows by the shrubs and juniper roots for their bread. They are exiled from the back, they shout at them as after a thief; to tabernacle in the chasms of the wadies, holes of the dust and the rocks; among the shrubs they bray; under the nettles they scrape: sons of fools; yes, sons of nameless men ejected from the earth; and now I am their strummer; yes, I am their utterance. They abhor me; they flee far from me; they spare not to spit in my face. Because he loosed my cord and humbled me, they also sent away the bridle from my face.

And now my soul pours out on me; the days of humiliation take hold on me; my bones penetrate within me in the night; and my gnawing lies not down.

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it drivest me, and dissolvest razest my substance. For I know that thou wilt bring shalt return me to death, and to the house appointed of the congregation for all of all the living. Howbeit he will shall not stretch out spread his hand to the grave prey, though they cry in his destruction calamity. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble had a hard day? was not my soul grieved for the poor needy? When I looked for awaited good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels inwards boiled, and rested hushed not: the days of affliction humiliation prevented anticipated me. I went mourning darkened without the sun heat: I stood up arose, and I cried in the congregation. I am a brother to dragons monsters, and a companion friend to owls daughters of the owl. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned scorched with heat parch. My harp also is turned to be into mourning, and my organ woodwind into the voice of them that weep. I made cut a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think discern upon a maid virgin? For what portion allotment of God Elohah is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty Shadday from on high the heights? Is not destruction calamity to the wicked? and a strange punishment strangeness to the workers doers of iniquity mischief? Doth not he see my ways, and count scribe all my steps paces? If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit; Let me be weighed in an even a balance of justness that God Elohah may know mine integrity. If my step hath turned spread out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot blemish hath cleaved adhered to mine hands my palms; Then let me sow seed, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. If mine heart have been deceived enticed by a woman, or if I have laid wait lurked at my neighbour's door friend's portal; Then let my wife woman grind unto another, and let others bow down upon kneel to her. For this is an heinous crime intrigue; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges a judicial perversity. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction Abaddon, and would should root out all mine increase my produce. If I did despise spurned the cause judgment of my manservant servant or of my maidservant maid, when they contended with me; What then shall I do work when God El riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer respond him? Did not he that made worked me in the womb belly make work him? and did not one fashion prepare us in the womb? If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused finished off the eyes of the widow to fail; Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless orphan hath not eaten thereof;

I stand, and you discern me not: you turn cruel to me; with your mighty hand you oppose me: you lift me to the wind; you drive me and raze my substance.

Wept I not for him who had a hard day? Grieved not my soul for the needy? When I awaited good, evil came; when I waited for light, darkness came: my inwards boiled and hushed not; the days of humiliation anticipated me. I go darkened without heat; I rise and I cry in the congregation. I am a brother to monsters and a friend to daughters of the owl. My skin blackens on me; my bones scorch with parch.

What is the inheritance of Shadday from the heights? Is not calamity to the wicked? — a strangeness to the doers of mischief? Sees he not my ways? — scribes all my paces? If I walk with vanity or my foot hastens to deceit weigh me in a balance of justness; Elohah knows my integrity. If my step spreads from the way and my heart walks after my eyes; if any blemish adheres to my palms; then have me seed and another eat: yes, uproot my offspring.

If I rejoiced cheered at the destruction calamity of him that hated me, or lifted up myself wakened when evil found him: Neither have I suffered given my mouth palate to sin by wishing a curse asking an oath to his soul. If the men of my tabernacle tent said not, Oh Who giveth that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied. The stranger sojourner did not lodge stayed not overnight in the street outways: but I opened my doors to the traveller wayward. If I covered my transgressions rebellions as Adam humanity, by hiding mine iniquity perversity in my bosom: Did I fear Then I dreaded a great multitude, or did the contempt disrespect of families terrify me, that I kept silence hushed, and went not out of the door? portal. Oh Who giveth that one would should hear me! behold, my desire mark is, that the Almighty would Shadday should answer me, and that mine adversary my man of contention had written scribed a book scroll. Surely I would take should lift it upon my shoulder, and bind fasten it as a crown to me. I would declare unto should tell him the number of my steps paces; as a prince would an eminent should I go near unto him. If my land soil cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain weep together; If I have eaten the fruits thereof produce without money silver, or have caused the owners thereof masters to lose expire their life soul: Let thistles thorns grow instead of wheat, and cockle stinkweed instead of barley. The words of Job Iyob are ended be consummated. So these three men ceased to answer Job shabbathized from answering Iyob, because he was righteous just in his own eyes.

If I set gold my hope or said to the ore, My confidence! if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much; if I see the light when it halals or the moon walking in esteem; and my heart covertly duped or my mouth kiss my hand; this also is a judicial perversity: for I denied El above. If I cheer at the calamity of my hater, or waken when evil finds him; I give not my palate to sin by asking him to oath his soul. If not, men of my tent, say you, Who gives that we have of his flesh — we are not satisfied. The sojourner stayed not overnight in the outways; I opened my doors to the wayward. If I covered my rebellions as humanity by hiding my perversity in my bosom; then I dread a great multitude — and the disrespect of families terrify me — and I hush and go not from the portal. Who gives that someone hear me! Behold, my mark! Shadday, answer me! Man of contention, scribe a scroll! If not, I lift it on my shoulder and fasten it to me as a crown. I tell him my paces; as an eminent I go near him. If my soil cries against me, and the furrows weep together; if I have eaten the produce without silver or caused the masters to expire their soul; may thorns grow instead of wheat and stinkweed instead of barley. The words of Iyob are consummated. And these three men shabbathized from answering Iyob, because he was just in his own eyes.

ELI HU KINDLES HIS WRATH Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu Eli Hu the son of Barachel Barach El the Buzite Buziy, of the kindred family of Ram: against Job Iyob was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself his soul rather than God Elohim. Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job judged Iyob wicked. Now Elihu Eli Hu had waited till Job Iyob had spoken worded, because they were elder than he by days. When Elihu Eli Hu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. And Elihu Eli Hu, the son of Barachel Barach El the Buzite Buziy answered and said, I am young of few days, and ye are very old aged; wherefore I was afraid feared, and durst not awed to shew you mine opinion my knowledge. I said, Days should speak word, and multitude abundance of years should teach make known wisdom. But Surely there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration breath of the Almighty Shadday giveth them understanding discernment. The Great men are not always wise enwisened: neither do the aged understand discern judgment. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shall shew mine opinion my knowledge. Behold, I waited for awaited your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say probed utterances. Yea, I attended discerned unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job reproved Iyob, or that answered his words sayings: Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth El disperseth him down, not man. Now he hath not directed arranged his words utterances against me: neither will I answer him shall I respond with to your speeches sayings. They were amazed dismayed, they answered no more: they left off speaking removed from uttering. When I had waited awaited, (for they spake worded not, but stood still, and answered no more;) I said, I will shall answer also my part allotment, I also will shall shew mine opinion my knowledge. For I am full of matter utterances, the spirit within me of my belly constraineth distresseth me. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent opening; it is ready to burst to split like new bottles skins. I will speak shall word, that I may be refreshed respire: I will shall open my lips and answer. Let me not, I pray beseech you, accept any man's person lift the face of humanity, neither let me give flattering titles honorary degrees unto man humanity. For I know not to give flattering titles honorary degrees; in so doing my maker Worker would soon take should shortly lift me away. Wherefore But, Job Iyob, I pray beseech thee, hear my speeches utterances, and hearken to all my words. Behold, now I beseech, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken worded in my mouth palate. My words sayings shall be of the uprightness straightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly purely. The spirit of God El hath made worked me,

ELI HU KINDLES HIS WRATH And Eli Hu the son of Barach El the Buziy of the family of Ram kindles his wrath — kindles his wrath against Iyob, because he justifies his soul — rather than Elohim. He also kindles his wrath against his three friends because they find no answer and judge Iyob wicked. And Eli Hu waits until Iyob words, because they are elder than he by days. And Eli Hu sees there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and kindles his wrath. And Eli Hu the son of Barach El the Buziy answers and says, I am of few days and you are aged; so I fear and awe to show you my knowledge. I say, Days word; and abundance of years make wisdom known. Surely there is a spirit in man; and the breath of Shadday gives discernment. Neither the great enwisen nor the aged discern judgment. So I say, Hearken to me; I also show my knowledge. Behold, I awaited your words; I gave ear to your reasons as you probed utterances: yes, I discerned you; and behold, none of you reproved Iyob or answered his sayings: lest you say, We have found out wisdom; El disperses him — not man. Neither arranged he his utterances against me; nor respond I to your sayings. They are dismayed; they answer no more; they remove from uttering: I await, they word not; but stand still and answer no more. I also answer my allotment; I also show my knowledge: for I am full of utterances, the spirit of my belly distresses me. Behold, my belly — as unopened wine — to split as new skins. I word, and I respire; I open my lips, and answer. I beseech you, that I neither lift the face of humanity, nor give honorary degrees to humanity: for I know not to give honorary degrees; in so doing my Worker shortly lifts me away. And yet, I beseech you, Iyob, hear my utterances and hearken to all my words: behold, I beseech, I open my mouth; my tongue words in my palate; my sayings are of the straightness of my heart; and my lips utter knowledge purely. The Spirit of El works me

Behold, I am according to thy wish mouth in God's El's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. Behold, my terror shall not make frighten thee afraid, neither shall my hand burden be heavy upon thee. Surely thou hast spoken said in mine hearing my ears, and I have heard the voice of thy words utterances, saying, I am clean pure without transgression rebellion, I am innocent covered; neither is there iniquity perversity in me. Behold, he findeth occasions alienations against me, he counteth fabricateth me for his enemy, He putteth setteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh guardeth all my paths. Behold, in this thou art not just justified: I will shall answer thee, that God Elohah is greater than man. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth answereth not account of any of his matters words. For God speaketh El wordeth once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth he observeth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings drowsiness upon the bed; Then he openeth exposeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction discipline, That he may withdraw man turn humanity aside from his purpose work, and hide pride cover over arrogance from man the mighty. He keepeth back spareth his soul from the pit of ruin, and his life from perishing passing by the sword spear. He is chastened reproved also with pain sorrow upon his bed, and the multitude strife of his bones with strong pain is perennial: So that his life abhorreth loatheth bread, and his soul dainty meat food of desire. His flesh is consumed away finished off, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out are exposed. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave pit of ruin, and his life to the destroyers deathifiers. If there be a messenger an angel with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man tell humanity his uprightness straightness: Then he is gracious granteth he charism unto him, and saith, Deliver Rescue him from going down descending to the pit of ruin: I have found a ransom a koper/an atonement. His flesh shall be fresher rejuvinated than a child's as ladhood: he shall return to the days of his youth: He shall pray unto God intreat Elohah, and he will be favourable unto shall please him: and he shall see his face with joy shouting: for he will render shall restore unto man his righteousness justness. He looketh upon observeth men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right straight, and it profited me not; He will deliver shall redeem his soul from going passing into the pit of ruin, and his life shall see the light. Lo Behold, all these things worketh God doeth El oftentimes twice and thrice with man the mighty, To bring back return his soul from the pit of ruin, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

and the breath of Shadday enlivens me; respond if you are able; line up at my face; get set! Behold, I — your mouth in the stead of El; I also am formed from the clay. Behold, may neither my terror frighten you nor my burden be heavy on you; surely you said to my ears; and I heard the voice of your utterances; I am pure without rebellion — covered — no perversity within me. Behold, he finds alienations against me; he fabricates me for his enemy; he sets my feet in the stocks; he guards all my paths. Behold, in this you are not justified; I answer you, Elohah is greater than man. Why strive against him? Of all his words, he answers none. For El words once; yes, twice; he observes not. In a dream — in a vision of the night when deep sleep falls on men in drowsiness on the bed; then he exposes the ears of men and seals their discipline; he turns humanity aside from his work and covers over the arrogance of the mighty: he spares his soul from the pit of ruin and his life from the passing of the spear; he is also reproved with sorrow on his bed and the strife of his bones is perennial; his life loathes bread and his soul food of desire; his flesh finishes off that it not be seen; and his bones that have not been seen be exposed. Yes, his soul draws near to the pit of ruin and his life to the deathifiers. If there is an angel with him an interpreter — one among a thousand to tell humanity his straightness, then he grants him charism and says, Rescue him from descending to the pit of ruin; I have found a koper/an atonement. His flesh rejuvinates as ladhood; he returns to the days of his youth; he intreats Elohah and pleases him; he sees his face with shouting; for he restores his justness to man. He observes men, and if any say, I sinned and perverted the straight and it profits me not; he redeems my soul from passing into the pit of ruin and my life sees the light. Behold, El does all these — twice and thrice with the mighty; to return his soul from the pit of ruin; to enlighten with the light of the living.

Mark well, O Job Iyob, hearken unto me: hold thy peace hush, and I will speak shall word. If thou hast any thing to say utterances, answer me respond: speak word, for I desire to justify thee. If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace hush, and I shall teach thee wisdom. Furthermore Elihu Eli Hu answered and said, Hear my words utterances, O ye wise men; and give ear hearken unto me, ye that have knowledge know. For the ear trieth words proofeth utterances, as the mouth palate tasteth meat to eat. Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. For Job Iyob hath said, I am righteous justified: and God El hath taken away turned aside my judgment. should I lie against my right judgment? my wound arrow is incurable without transgression rebellion. What man mighty is like Job Iyob, who drinketh up scorning derision like water? Which goeth caravaneth in company companionship with the workers doers of iniquity mischief, and walketh with wicked men men of wickedness. For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing Useless for the mighty that he should delight himself be pleased with God Elohim. Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding heart: far be it from God El, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty Shadday, that he should commit iniquity do wickedness. For the work deeds of a man humanity shall he render unto shalam him, and cause every man to find present to every man according to his ways. Yea, surely truly, God will El shall not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty shall Shadday pervert twist judgment. Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed set the whole world? If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh shall perish expire together, and man humanity shall turn again return unto dust. If now thou hast understanding discernment, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words utterances. Shall even he that hateth right govern judgment bind? and wilt shalt thou condemn judge him wicked that is most just? Is it fit to say Sayest thou to a king sovereign, Thou art wicked Beli Yaal? and to princes volunteers, Ye are ungodly Wicked? How much less to him — that accepteth not the persons faces of princes governors, nor regardeth recognizeth the rich opulent more than the face of the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. In a moment blink shall they die, and the people shall be troubled shake at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away turn aside without hand. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings paces. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers doers of iniquity mischief may hide themselves. For he will shall not lay set upon man more than right; that he should enter go into judgment with God El. He shall break in pieces shatter the mighty men without number unable to probe, and set stand others in their stead. Therefore he knoweth recognizeth their works acts, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed crushed.

Mark well, O Iyob, hearken to me; hush and I word. If you have utterances, respond; word, for I desire to justify you. If not, hearken to me; hush — and I teach you wisdom. And Eli Hu answers and says, Hear my utterances, O you wise; and hearken to me, you who know: for the ear proofs utterances, as the palate tastes to eat. We choose judgment; we know among ourselves what is good.

For Iyob said, I am justified and El turned aside my judgment!

Lie I against my judgment? my arrow is incurable — without rebellion. Who is mighty as Iyob? Who drinks derision as water? Who caravans in companionship with the doers of mischief? Who walks with men of wickedness?

For he said, Useless for the mighty to be pleased with Elohim.

So you men of heart, hearken to me; far be it from El to do wickedness; and from Shadday to do wickedness. He shalams humanity for his deeds, and presents every man according to his ways. Yes truly, neither El does wickedly, nor Shadday twists judgment.

11 12 13

Who gave him charge over the earth? Who set the whole world?

If he sets his heart on man, he gathers his spirit and his breath to himself. All flesh expires together and humanity returns to dust.

If there is discernment, hear this — hearken to the voice of my utterances. Binds he, he who hates judgment? Judge you wicked, he who is most just? Say you to a sovereign, Beli Yaal? — or to volunteers, Wicked? — of him who neither accepts faces of governors nor recognize the opulent more than the face of the poor? — they all are the work of his hands. In a blink they die; the people shake at midnight and pass away; and the mighty turn aside without hand. For his eyes are on the ways of man and he sees all his paces.

There is neither darkness nor shadow of death where the doers of mischief hide.

For he sets no more on man than to go into judgment with El: he shatters the mighty, unable to probe; and stands others in their stead.

24 25

So he recognizes their acts and overturns them in the night and they are crushed.

He striketh slappeth them as wicked men in the open sight place of others seeing; Because they turned back from after him, and would comprehended not consider any of his ways: So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted humble. When he giveth quietness resteth, who then can make trouble judgeth wicked? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold observeth him? whether it be done against a nation goyim, or against a man only humanity altogether: That the hypocrite reign not From the reign of the profaner of humanity, lest the people be ensnared. Surely it is meet to be said Sayeth one unto God El, I have borne chastisement spared, I will have not offend any more despoiled: Except That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity wickedness, I will do no more never again. Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense shall shalam it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak word what thou knowest. Let men of understanding tell me say, and let a wise man mighty hearken unto me. Job Iyob hath spoken worded without knowledge comprehending, and his words were without wisdom. My desire yearning is that Job Iyob may be tried unto the end proofed in perpetuity because of his answers responses for wicked men men of mischief. For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth aboundeth his words sayings against God El. Elihu spake moreover Eli Hu answered, and said, Thinkest Fabricatest thou this to be right judgment, that thou saidst, My righteousness justness is more than God's El's? For thou saidst, What advantage will use shall it be unto thee? and, What profit benefit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? I will answer shall respond thee utterances, and thy companions friends with thee. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold observe the clouds vapours which are higher than thou high above thee. If thou sinnest, what doest workest thou against him? or if thy transgressions rebellions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? If thou be righteous justified, what givest thou him? or what receiveth taketh he of thine hand? Thy wickedness may hurt be for a man as thou art; and thy righteousness justness may profit for the son of man humanity. By reason of the multitude abundance of oppressions they make the oppressed cause to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty great. But none saith, Where is God Elohah my maker Worker, who giveth songs psalms in the night; Who teacheth us more than the beasts animals of the earth, and maketh us wiser enwiseneth us more than the fowls flyers of heaven the heavens? There they cry, but none giveth answer answereth, because at the face of the pride pomp of evil men. Surely God will El shall not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard shall Shadday observe it. Although thou sayest thou shalt not see observe him, yet judgment is before him the plea is at his face; therefore trust writhe thou in him.

He slaps them as wicked in the place of seeing; because they turn back from after him and comprehend none of his ways; so that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him; and he hears the cry of the humble. And when he rests, who judges wicked? and when he hides his face, who observes him? — whether against a goyim, or against humanity altogether; from the reign of the profaner of humanity, lest the people be ensnared. Says any one to El, I have spared; I have not despoiled. Except, what I see not, you teach me; if I have done wickedness, never again. According to your mind, he shalams what you refuse — what you choose; and not I; so word only what you know. May men of understanding say, and the wise mighty hearken to me. Iyob words without comprehending — words without wisdom. I yearn that Iyob be proofed in perpetuity because of his responses for men of mischief: for he adds rebellion to his sin, he claps among us and abounds his sayings against El. And Eli Hu answers and says, Fabricate you this to be judgment, that you said, My justness is more than of El? that you said, What use is it to you? and, What benefit I from my sin? — I respond utterances to you and your friends with you. Look to the heavens and see; observe the vapours high above you. If you sin, what work you against him? Or if your rebellions be multiplied, what do you to him? If you be justified, what give you him? Or what takes he from your hand? Your wickedness is for a man as you; and your justness for the son of humanity. By reason of the abundance of oppressions they cause to cry out — to cry out by reason of the arm of the great. And no one says, Where is Elohah my Worker — who gives psalms in the night? — who teaches us more than the animals of the earth? — who enwisens us more than the flyers of the heavens? There they cry, and he answers not at the face of the pomp of evil. Surely El neither hears vanity nor Shadday observes. Yes, although you say you observe him not, the plea is at his face; writhe in him.

But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger wrath; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity mighty stupidity: Therefore doth Job open Iyob gasp his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words weaveth utterances without knowledge. Elihu Eli Hu also proceeded added, and said, Suffer me a little Stay around, and I will shall shew thee that I have yet to speak utterances on God's Elohah's behalf. I will fetch shall lift my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness shall give justness to my Maker Worker. For truly my words utterances shall not be false: he that is perfect integrious in knowledge is with thee. Behold, God El is mighty, and despiseth spurneth not any: he is — mighty in strength force and wisdom heart. He preserveth enliveneth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right judgment to the poor humble. He withdraweth diminisheth not his eyes from the righteous just: but with kings are they sovereigns on the throne; yea, he doth establish settleth them for ever in perpetuity, and they are exalted lifted. And if they be bound in fetters bonds, and be holden captured in cords of affliction humiliation; Then he sheweth telleth them their work deeds, and their transgressions rebellions that they have exceeded prevailed mightily. He openeth exposeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth sayeth that they return from iniquity mischief. If they obey hearken and serve him, they shall spend conclude their days in prosperity good, and their years in pleasures. But if they obey hearken not, they shall perish pass away expired by the sword spear, and they shall die without knowledge. But the hypocrites profaners in heart heap up set wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. They die Their soul dieth in youth ladhood, and their life is among the unclean hallowed whoremongers. He delivereth the poor in his affliction humiliation, and openeth exposeth their ears in oppression. Even so would should he have removed thee out of the strait mouth of the narrow into a broad place broadness, where there is no straitness narrowness under; and that which should be set rest on thy table should be full of fatness. But thou hast fulfilled the judgment plea of the wicked: judgment the plea and justice judgment take hold on thee are upheld. Because there is wrath fury, beware lest he take goad thee away with his stroke gluttony: then a great ransom koper/atonement cannot deliver shall not spread to thee. Will Shall he esteem appraise thy riches opulence? no, not gold mines, nor all the forces of strength force. Desire Gulp not the night, when people are cut off ascend in their place stead. Take heed, On guard! regard face not iniquity mischief: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction humiliation. Behold, God exalteth El lofteth by his power force: who teacheth like him? Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity done wickedness? Remember that thou magnify increase his work deeds, which men behold. Every man All humanity may see it; man may behold it ascan far off. Behold, God El is great exceedingly excellent, and we know him not,

And now, because there is none, he visits his wrath; yet in mighty stupidity, he knows not: and Iyob gasps his mouth in vain; he weaves utterances without knowledge. And Eli Hu also adds and says, Stay around; and I show you that I have yet utterances on behalf of Elohah. I lift my knowledge from afar and give justness to my Worker. For truly my utterances are not false; the integrious in knowledge is with you. Behold, El is mighty and spurns not — mighty in force and heart. He enlivens not the wicked and gives judgment to the humble; he diminishes not his eyes from the just and with sovereigns on the throne: yes, he settles them in perpetuity and they are lifted: and if bound in bonds and captured in cords of humiliation; then he tells them their deeds and their rebellions because they prevail mightily: and he exposes their ear to discipline and says to them to return from mischief. If they hearken and serve him, they conclude their days in good and their years in pleasures: and if they hearken not, they pass away expired by the spear, and die without knowledge. And the profaners in heart set wrath; they cry not when he binds them: their soul dies in ladhood and their life is among the hallowed whoremongers. He delivers the poor in their humiliation and exposes their ears in oppression: And he also removes you from the mouth of the narrow into a broadness, where there is no narrowness under; and what rests on your table is full of fatness. And you fulfill the plea of the wicked; the plea and judgment are upheld: because of fury, lest he goad you with gluttony; then a great koper/atonement spreads not to you. Appraises he your opulence? — your mines, your forces of force? Gulp not the night, when people ascend in their stead. On guard! Face not mischief; for you choose this, rather than humiliation. Behold, El lofts by his force; Who teaches as he? Who visits him on his way? or who says, You have done wickedness? Remember to increase his deeds for men to behold; for all humanity to see; for man to scan far off. Behold, El is exceedingly excellent and we know neither him,

For he maketh small diminisheth the drops of water: they pour down refine rain according to into the vapour thereof mist: Which the clouds do drop vapours flow and distil drip upon man humanity abundantly.

The noise thereof shouting sheweth telleth concerning it him, the cattle chattel also concerning and the vapour holocaust. At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved loosed out of his place. In hearing, Hear attentively the noise commotion of his voice, and the sound meditation that goeth out of his mouth. He directeth releaseth under the whole heaven heavens, and his lightning unto the ends wings of the earth. After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency pomp; and he will shall not stay restrain them when his voice is heard. God El thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth worketh he, which we cannot comprehend perceive not. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small downpour of rain, and to the great downpour of rain of his strength. He sealeth up the hand of every man all humanity; that all men may know his work. Then the beasts go into dens live beings lurk, and remain tabernacle in their places habitations. Out of the south chamber cometh the whirlwind hurricane: and cold out of the north scattering. By the breath of God El frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened narrowed. Also by watering showering he wearieth overloadeth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright lightning cloud: And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth misvaheth them upon the face of the world in the earth. He causeth it to come, whether for correction a scion, or for his land, or for mercy. Hearken unto this, O Job Iyob: stand still, and consider discern the wondrous works marvels of God El. Dost thou know when God disposed Elohah set them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? Dost thou know the balancings of the thick clouds, the wondrous works marvels of him which is perfect integrious in knowledge? How thy garments clothes are warm hot, when he quieteth resteth the earth by the south wind southerly? Hast thou with him spread out expanded the sky vapours, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass poured reflector? Teach us Let us know what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech line up by reason of at the face of the darkness. Shall it be told scribed him that I speak word?

nor probe the number of his years: for he diminishes the drops of water; they refine rain into the mist; which the vapours flow and drip abundantly on humanity. And discern you the spreadings of the thick clouds? or the clamorings of his sukkoth/brush arbor? Behold, he spreads his light thereon and covers the roots of the sea. For by them he pleads the cause of the people; he gives food in abundance; with his two palms he covers the light and misvahs and intercedes. The shouting tells concerning him; also the chattel and the holocaust. Also, my heart trembles at this — loosed from its place. In hearing, hear the commotion of his voice and the meditation coming from his mouth; he releases under the whole heavens and his lightning to the wings of the earth. After, a voice roars; he thunders his voice of pomp; and he restrains not when his voice is heard. El thunders marvellously with his voice; he works great — and we perceive not. For to the snow he says, Be on the earth; likewise to the downpour of rain and to the downpour of rain of his strength: he seals the hand of all humanity that all men know his work. And the live beings lurk and tabernacle in their habitations. From the chamber comes the hurricane; and cold from the scattering: by the breath of El frost is given; and the breadth of the waters narrows: by showering, he overloads the thick cloud; he scatters his lightning cloud: and by his counsels, it turns around to do whatever he misvahs them on the face of the world in the earth: he causes it to come whether for a scion, or for his land, or for mercy. Hearken to this, O Iyob; Stand and discern the marvels of El. Know you when Elohah set them? — and shined the light of his cloud? Know you the balancings of the thick clouds? The marvels of him who is integrious in knowledge? How your clothes heat when he rests the earth by the southerly? Expand you the vapours with him — strong as a poured reflector? Know we what to say to him? for we line not up at the face of the darkness. Is it scribed to him that I word?

Fair weather Clear sky cometh out of the north: with God Elohah is terrible awesome majesty. Touching the Almighty Shadday, we cannot find him out: he is exceedingly excellent in power force, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice abundant in justness: he will shall not afflict humble. Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth seeth not any that are wise of heart. YAH VEH ANSWERS IYOB Then the L ORD Yah Veh answered Job Iyob out of the whirlwind storm, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words utterances without knowledge?

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened sunk? or who laid poured the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang shouted together, and all the sons of God Elohim shouted for joy? Or who shut up hedged in the sea with doors, when it brake forth gushed, as if it had when it issued out of the womb? When I made set the cloud the garment thereof for a robe, and thick dripping darkness a swaddling band for it for a swathe, And brake up for it my decreed place statute, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further add not: and here shall thy proud the pomp of thy waves be stayed set? Hast thou commanded misvahed the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring dawn to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends wings of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? It is turned as a seal of clay to the seal; and they stand set as a garment robe. And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high lofted arm shall be broken. Hast thou entered into the springs fountains of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of probing the depth abyss? Have the gates portals of death been opened exposed unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors portals of the shadow of death? Hast thou perceived discerned the breadth broadness of the earth? declare tell if thou knowest it all. Where is the way where light dwelleth tabernacleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof border, and that thou shouldest know discern the paths to the house thereof? Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born birthed? or because the number of thy days is great? Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved spared against the time of trouble tribulation, against the day of battle and war?

And now they see not the bright light in the vapours; but the wind passes and purifies them: clear sky comes from the north; with Elohah is awesome majesty. Shadday — we find him not out; exceedingly excellent in force and in judgment and abundant in justness: he abases not. So men fear him; he sees not any wise of heart. YAH VEH ANSWERS IYOB And Yah Veh answers Iyob from the storm and says, Who is this who darkens counsel by utterances without knowledge? Gird up I beseech, your loins as a mighty; for I ask of you — and you have me know. Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell, if you know discernment, who set the measurements, if you know? Who stretched the line thereon? Whereon are the foundations sunk? Who poured the corner stone when the morning stars shouted together and all the sons of Elohim shouted? Who hedged in the sea with doors when it gushed? When it issued from the womb? When I set the cloud for a robe and dripping darkness for a swathe; and broke it up for my statute and set bars and doors; and said, Come to here, but add not: And set there the pomp of your waves? Misvahed you the morning since your days? And had the dawn to know his place? And took hold of the wings of the earth to shake the wicked therefrom? It turns as a seal of clay; and they set themselves as a robe; and their light is withheld from the wicked and the lofted arm broken. Enter you the fountains of the sea? Walk you probing the abyss? Expose you the portals of death? See you the portals of the shadow of death? Discern you the broadness of the earth? Tell, if you know it all. Where is this, the way that light tabernacles? And darkness, where is its place? — to take it to the border — to discern the paths to the house? Know you, because you were then birthed? — or that the number of your days greaten? Enter you into the treasures of the snow? See you the treasures of the hail that I spare against the time of tribulation? — against the day of battle and war?

She hardens her sons as though they are not hers; her labor is in vain without dread: for Elohah exacts wisdom from her; he allots her no discernment; at the time she flaps in the heights she ridicules the horse and his rider.

What time she lifteth up herself flappeth on high in the heights, she scorneth ridiculeth the horse and his rider. Hast thou given the horse strength might? hast thou clothed enrobed his neck with thunder? Canst thou make cause him afraid to quiver as a grasshopper locust? the glory majesty of his nostrils is terrible terror. He paweth diggeth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength force: he goeth on to meet confront the armed men armour. He mocketh at fear ridiculeth dread, and is not affrighted dismayed; neither turneth he back from the face of the sword. The quiver rattleth whizzeth against him, the glittering flaming spear and the shield dart. He swalloweth the ground earth with fierceness quaking and rage commotion: neither believeth trusteth he that it is the sound voice of the trumpet shophar. He saith among the trumpets shophars, Ha, ha Aha; and he smelleth scenteth the battle war afar off, the thunder of the captains governors, and the shouting. Doth Soareth the hawk fly by thy wisdom discernment, and stretch spread her wings toward the south? Doth Goeth the eagle mount up at thy command mouth, and make her nest on high?

He is the chief beginning of the ways of God El: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him his Worker approacheth with his sword. Surely the mountains bring bear him forth food produce, where all the beasts live beings of the field play laugh. He lieth under the shady trees lotuses, in the covert of the reed stalk, and fens mire. The shady trees lotuses cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook wadi compass surround him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth is confident that he can draw up Jordan gush Yarden into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth nostrils pierce through snares. Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or drown his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Is no one cast down at his visage? None is so fierce that he wakens him. Who then sets at my face? Who anticipates me, that I shalam him? whatever is under the whole heavens is mine. I neither hush as to his veins, nor to the word of his might, nor to the beauty of his proportion. Who exposes the face of his robe? Who comes to him with his double bridle?

The arrow son of the bow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts Clubs are counted fabricated as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking quaking of a spear dart. Sharp stones Pieces of potsherd are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things ore upon the mire. He maketh setteth the deep to boil like a pot caldron: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment spicy broth. He maketh a path to shine enlighten after him; one would think he fabricateth the deep abyss to be hoary greyed. Upon earth dust there is not his like, who is made worked without fear terror.

He fabricates iron as straw and copper as rotten timber; he flees not the son of the bow; he turns slingstones into stubble; he fabricates clubs as stubble; he laughs at the quaking of a dart; pieces of potsherd are under him; he spreads ore on the mire; he sets the deep to boil as a caldron; he makes the sea as a spicy broth; he makes a path to enlighten after him; he fabricates the abyss to be greyed. On the dust there is none like him who is worked without terror; he sees all the heights; he is sovereign over all the sons of pride. I YOB ANSWERS YAH VEH Iyob answers Yah Veh and says, I know that you are able in all; and that no intrigue is cut off from you. Who is he who conceals counsel without knowledge? so I tell, and I discern not — too marvellous for me, and I know not. Hear, I beseech you, and I word; I ask you; you have me know. I hear you by the hearing of the ear; and now my eye sees you: so I spurn and sigh in dust and ashes. YAH VEH ANSWERS ELI PHAZ And so be it, after Yah Veh words these words to Iyob, Yah Veh says to Eli Phaz the Temaniy, I kindle my wrath against you and against your two friends; for you word not of me what is established — as my servant Iyob. And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams and go to my servant Iyob

So Eliphaz Eli Phaz the Temanite Temaniy and Bildad the Shuhite Shuachiy and Zophar Sophar the Naamathite Naamahiy went, and did worked according as the L ORD commanded Yah Veh worded them: the L ORD Yah Veh also accepted Job lifted the face of Iyob.

He had also seven sons and three daughters. And he called the name of the first, Jemima Yemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch Qeren Hap Puch. And in all the land were no women found so fair beautiful as the daughters of Job Iyob: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. After this lived Job Iyob an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations. So Job Iyob died, being old aged and full satisfied of days.

Blessed Blithe is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth settleth in the seat settlement of the scornful. But his delight is in the law torah of the LORD Yah Veh; and in his law torah doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted transplanted by the rivers rivulets of water, that bringeth forth giveth his fruit in his season time; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth worketh shall prosper. The ungodly wicked are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away disperseth. Therefore the ungodly wicked shall not stand rise in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation witness of the righteous just. For the L ORD Yah Veh knoweth the way of the righteous just: but the way of the ungodly wicked shall perish destruct.

Why do the heathen rage goyim conspire, and the people nations imagine a vain thing meditate vanity? The kings sovereigns of the earth set station themselves, and the rulers take potentates set counsel together, against the L ORD Yah Veh, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break tear their bands asunder, and cast away their cords ropes from us. He that sitteth settleth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord Adonay shall have deride them in derision. Then shall he speak word unto them in his wrath, and vex terrify them in his sore displeasure fuming. Yet have I set anointed my king sovereign upon my holy hill of Zion mount Siyon. I will declare shall scribe the decree statute: the L ORD Yah Veh hath said unto me, Thou art my Son Ben*; this day have I begotten birthed thee.

Be wise Comprehend now therefore, O ye kings sovereigns: be instructed disciplined, ye judges of the earth. Serve the L ORD Yah Veh with fear awe, and rejoice twirl with trembling.

I cried called unto the L ORD Yah Veh with my voice, and he heard answered me out of his holy hill mountain. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the L ORD Yah Veh sustained me.

Blithe — the man who neither walks in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor settles in the settlement of the scornful. But his delight is in the torah of Yah Veh; and in his torah he meditates day and night; and being as a tree transplanted by the rivulets of water, giving his fruit in his time: his leaf withers not; and whatever he works, prospers. Not so the wicked; but are as chaff which the wind disperses. So, neither the wicked rise in the judgment, nor sinners in the witness of the just. For Yah Veh knows the way of the just; and the way of the wicked destructs.

Why stand you afar off, O Yah Veh? Why conceal yourself in times of tribulation? The pompous wicked hotly pursue the humble; — grab them in the intrigue they machinate: because the wicked halal the desire of his soul and bless the greedy whom Yah Veh scorns. The wicked, through lifted nostrils, seek not: Elohim is not! are all his intrigues: his ways writhe at all times. Your judgments in the heights are from his sight; as for all his tribulators, he puffs at them. He says in his heart, I totter not from generation to generation — never in evil. His mouth is full of oaths and deceits and fraud; under his tongue is toil and mischief; he settles in the lurks of the courts; he slaughters the innocent in the coverts; he hides his eyes from the unfortunate: he lurks in the coverts as a lion in his sukkoth/brush arbor; he lurks to catch the humble; he catches the humble drawing him into his net. He crushes; he prostrates; his mighty fells the army of the unfortunates.

He says in his heart, El forgets! he hides his face; he sees it not in perpetuity.

Rise, O Yah Veh; O El, lift your hand: forget not the humble. The wicked — why scorn they Elohim? He says in his heart, Not required!

You see; for you scan toil and vexation, they give into your hand; they leave the unfortunate to you you — the helper of the orphan.

The L ORD hear Yah Veh answereth thee in the day of trouble tribulation; the name of the God Elohim of Jacob Yaaqov defend lofteth thee; Send He sendeth thee help from the sanctuary holies, and strengthen supporteth thee out of Zion Siyon; Remember He remembereth all thy offerings, and accept fatteneth thy burnt sacrifice holocausts; Selah. Grant He giveth thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil fulfilleth all thy counsel. We will rejoice shall shout in thy salvation, and in the name of our God Elohim we will set up shall raise our banners: the L ORD Yah Veh fulfil fulfilleth all thy petitions requests.

The torah of Yah Veh is perfect, restoring the soul; the witness of Yah Veh is trustworthy, enwisening the gullible; the precepts of Yah Veh are straight, cheering the heart; the misvah of Yah Veh is pure, enlightening the eyes; the awe of Yah Veh is pure, standing eternally; the judgments of Yah Veh are truth, justified altogether.

More to be desired than gold, yes, than much pure gold; and sweeter than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

Also by them your servant enlightens; and in guarding them is a great final result. Inadvertent errors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who discerns? Exonerate me from the hidden; also spare your servant from the arrogant that they not reign over me: and I am integrious and exonerated from the great rebellion.

When the wicked vilifiers, even mine enemies my tribulators and my foes mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Yah Veh is my light and my salvation; whom dread I? Yah Veh is the stronghold of my life; whom dread I?

When the vilifiers — my tribulators and my enemies come on me to eat my flesh, they stumble and fall.

Though a camp encamp against me my heart awes not; though war rises against me in this I confide.

This one I ask of Yah Veh — I seek after: to settle in the house of Yah Veh all the days of my life; to see the pleasantness of Yah Veh and to search in his manse.

For in the day of evil he hides me in his sukkoth/brush arbor — in the covert of his tent he hides me — lifts me on a rock. And now my head lifts above my enemies all around; and in his tent I sacrifice sacrifices of shouting; I sing, yes, I psalm to Yah Veh.

When my father and my mother forsake me then Yah Veh gathers me.

Teach me your way, O Yah Veh and lead me in a straight path because of my enemies. Give me not to the soul of my tribulators; for false witnesses rise against me — such as exhale violence. I trusted not to see the goodness of Yah Veh in the land of the living. Await Yah Veh! Prevail; and he strengthens your heart; yes, await Yah Veh.

Yah Veh is my strength and my buckler; my heart confides in him and I am helped: and my heart jumps for joy; and with my song I spread hands to him. Yah Veh is their strength and he is the stronghold of salvations of his anointed. Save your people and bless your inheritance; befriend them also and lift them eternally. A Psalm by David. Give to Yah Veh, O you sons of El; give to Yah Veh honor and strength; give to Yah Veh the honor of his name: prostrate to Yah Veh in the majesty of his holies. The voice of Yah Veh is on the waters: the El of honor thunders; Yah Veh is on many waters: — the voice of Yah Veh in force the voice of Yah Veh in majesty: the voice of Yah Veh breaks the cedars; yes, Yah Veh breaks the cedars of Lebanon. He has them dance as a calf — Lebanon and Shirion as a son of reems; the voice of Yah Veh hews the flames of fire: the voice of Yah Veh twirls the wilderness; Yah Veh twirls the wilderness of Qadesh: the voice of Yah Veh causes the hinds to writhe and strips the forests: and in his manse all say of his honor. Yah Veh settles on the flood; yes, Yah Veh settles, Sovereign eternal! Yah Veh gives strength to his people; Yah Veh blesses his people with shalom.

A Psalm; A Song: at the hanukkah of the house of David.

I exalt you, O Yah Veh; for you bail me up so that my enemies not cheer over me.

O Yah Veh my Elohim I cry to you and you heal me.

O Yah Veh, you ascend my soul from sheol; you enliven me that I not descend to the well.

Psalm to Yah Veh, all you his mercied; spread hands at the memorial of his holiness:

The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he ceases comprehending, and to well—please: he fabricates mischief on his bed; he neither sets himself in a good way nor spurns evil.

How esteemed is your mercy, O Elohim! and the sons of humanity seek refuge under the shadow of your wings: they satiate with the fatness of your house; you water them from the wadi of your pleasures: for the fountain of life is with you; in your light we see light. Draw out your mercy to them who know you; and your justness to the straight in heart: that neither the foot of pomp come against me nor the hand of the wicked waver me. There the doers of mischief fall; — overthrown — not able to rise. By David. Neither inflame because of vilifiers nor envious against workers of wickedness. For they are quickly clipped as the grass and wither as the green sprout.

Confide in Yah Veh and work good; thus you tabernacle in the land and tend to trustworthiness.

And delight yourself in Yah Veh and he gives you the requests of your heart. Roll your way to Yah Veh; confide in him; and he works

There is no soundness integrity in my flesh because at the face of thine anger thy rage; neither is there any rest shalom in my bones because at the face of my sin.

I am troubled bent; I am bowed down greatly prostrated mightily; I go mourning darkened all the day long. For my loins flanks are filled with loathsome disease scorching: and there is no soundness in my flesh. I am feeble exhausted and sore broken mighty crushed: I have roared by reason of the disquietness growling of my heart. Lord Adonay, all my desire is before in front of thee; and my groaning sighing is not hid from thee.

But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man mute that openeth not his mouth. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

The torah of his Elohim is in his heart; none of his steps waver. The wicked watches for the just and seeks to deathify him. Yah Veh neither forsakes him in his hand, nor judges him wicked when he is judged.

There is neither integrity in my flesh at the face of your rage; nor any shalom in my bones at the face of my sin.

Corrupt are they They have ruined, and have done abominable iniquity abhorrent wickedness: there is none that doeth worketh good.

Every one of them is gone back hath apostatized: they are altogether become filthy muddled; there is none that doeth worketh good, no, not one. Have the workers doers of iniquity mischief no knowledge not known? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God Elohim.

Save me, O God Elohim, by thy name, and judge me plead my cause by thy strength might. Hear my prayer, O God Elohim; give ear hearken to the words sayings of my mouth. For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors tyrants seek after my soul: they have not set God before Elohim in front of them. Selah. Behold, God Elohim is mine helper: the Lord Adonay is with them that uphold my soul. He shall reward return evil unto mine enemies opponents: cut exterminate them off in thy truth.

And the just see and awe; and laugh at him: behold the mighty who sets not Elohim as his stronghold — who confides in the abundance of his riches — who strengthens himself in his calamity.

And I, as a green olive tree in the house of Elohim, confide in the mercy of Elohim eternally and eternally: I spread hands to you eternally, because you work; and I await your name; for it is good in front of your mercied.

To His Eminence; On Stroking; On Comprehension: By David.

The fool says in his heart, No Elohim! They ruin and do abhorrent wickedness; no one works good.

Elohim, from the heavens, looks down on the sons of humanity to see if there are any discerners who seek Elohim.

Everyone apostatizes; they are altogether muddled; no one works good — no, not one. Know not the doers of mischief — who eat my people as they eat bread? — who call not on Elohim?

In dreading, they dread where no dread is; for Elohim scatters the bones of him who encamps against you; you shame them; for Elohim spurns them.

Who gives the salvation of Yisra El from Siyon? When Elohim turns back the captivity of his people, Yaaqov twirls and Yisra El cheers.

To the chief Musician His Eminence, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God Elohim, in my prayer meditation: preserve guard my life from fear dread of the enemy.

5 6 7

Until when assail you against a man? you are murdered — all of you — as a wall spread — a wall overthrown. Surely they counsel to drive him from his exaltation; they lie to please: with their mouth, they bless; but inwardly, abase. Selah. My soul, hush only on Elohim; for my hope is from him: Surely he is my rock and my salvation; my secure loft; I totter not: in Elohim is my salvation and my honor; the rock of my strength: my refuge is in Elohim.

Confide in him at all times, you people; pour out your heart at his face: Elohim is our refuge. Selah.

Surely sons of humanity are vanity and sons of men a lie; they ascend in the balance — altogether vain.

Neither confide in oppression nor rob in vain; if your valuables flourish, set not your heart. Elohim worded once; twice I heard this; that strength is with Elohim; and with you, O Adonay, mercy: for you shalam each according to his work.

A Psalm by David: when he is in the wilderness of Yah Hudah. O Elohim, you are my El; I seek you early; my soul thirsts for you — my flesh yearns for you in a parched and languid land without water; I see you in the holies — see your strength and your honor. Because your mercy is better than life, my lips laud you. Thus I bless you while I live; I lift my palms in your name: my soul is satisfied as marrow and fat and my mouth halals with shouting lips: when I remember you on my bed I meditate on you in the watches: for you are my help; in the shadow of your wings, I shout: my soul adheres after you; your right upholds me. And they who seek to devastate my soul go into the nethermost earth: they flow by the hands of the sword — an allotment for foxes: and the sovereign cheers in Elohim; every one who oaths by him halals: but the mouth of them who word falsehoods, shuts. To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, O Elohim, in my meditation; guard my life from dread of the enemy:

To His Eminence, by David: A Reminder. O Elohim, rescue me; hasten to help me, O Yah Veh: may they who seek my soul shame and blush; — apostatize and shame them who desire my evil.

And I am humble and needy; hasten to me, O Elohim: you are my help who slips me away; O Yah Veh, tarry not. In you, O Yah Veh, I seek refuge; may I never shame eternally: rescue me in your justness and slip me away; spread your ear to me and save me:

In his days shall the righteous flourish just blossom; and abundance of peace shalom so long as the moon endureth until there be no moon. He shall have dominion also subjugate from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends finalities of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness Desertdwellers shall bow before him kneel at his face; and his enemies shall lick the dust. The kings sovereigns of Tarshish and of the isles islands shall bring presents return offerings: the kings sovereigns of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts oblate their hire. Yea, all kings sovereigns shall fall down before prostrate in front of him: all nations goyim shall serve him. For he shall deliver rescue the needy when he crieth; the poor humble also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him he shall be prayed for continually; and daily all day shall he be praised blessed. There shall be an handful increase of corn grain in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake quake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass herbage of the earth.

By Shelomoh. Give the sovereign your judgments, O Elohim and your justness to the son of the sovereign: He pleads for your people with justness and your humble with judgment. The mountains lift shalom to the people and the little hills, by justness. He judges the humble of the people; he saves the sons of the needy and crushes the oppressor. They awe you at the face of the sun and moon — generation to generation. He descends as rain on the mown fleece — as showers that water the earth. The just blossom in their day; and abundance of shalom until there is no moon. He subjugates from sea to sea — from the river to the finalities of the earth: desertdwellers kneel at his face and his enemies lick the dust. The sovereigns of Tarshish and of the islands return offerings; the sovereigns of Sheba and Seba oblate their hire; yes, all sovereigns prostrate ere in front of him; all goyim serve him. For he rescues the needy who cries — the humble and he who has no helper; he spares the poor and needy and saves the souls of the needy: he redeems their soul from fraud and violence; and esteems their blood in his eyes: and he lives and gives him of the gold of Sheba; and prays for him continually; — blesses him all day.

There is an increase of grain in the earth; the top of the mountains quake their fruit as Lebanon; and they of the city flourish as herbage of the earth.

His name, Eternal; his name perpetuates at the face of the sun; and they bless themselves in him: all goyim call him blithesome.

A Discerning by Asaph. Hearken, O my people, to my torah; spread your ears to the sayings of my mouth. I open my mouth in a proverb; I gush riddles of antiquity which we hear and know; which our fathers scribed unto us; we conceal them not from their sons — scribing to the generation after the halals of Yah Veh: and his strength and his marvels he worked. And he raises a witness in Yaaqov and sets a torah in Yisra El — which he misvahed our fathers to make known to their sons; that the generation after — that the sons yet to be birthed know them; — who then rise and scribe to their sons to set their hope in Elohim and not forget the works of El — but guard his misvoth: and not be as their fathers — a revolting and rebellious generation — a generation that prepared not their heart — whose spirit was not trustworthy with El.

The children sons of Ephraim Ephrayim, being armed, and carrying hurling bows, turned back in the day of battle. They kept guarded not the covenant of God Elohim, and refused to walk in his law torah; And forgat his works exploits, and his wonders marvels that he had shewed them see. Marvellous things did Marvels worked he in the sight front of their fathers, in the land of Egypt Misrayim, in the field of Zoan Soan. He divided split the sea, and caused passed them to pass through; and he made stationed the waters to stand as an heap. In the daytime day also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. He clave split the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths abysses. He brought streams flows also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down descend like rivers. And they sinned yet more again against him by provoking the most High rebelling against Elyon in the wilderness parch. And they tempted God tested El in their heart by asking meat food for their lust soul. Yea, they spake worded against God Elohim; they said, Can God furnish Arrangeth El a table in the wilderness? Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out flowed, and the streams wadies overflowed; can he give giveth he bread also? can he provide prepareth he flesh for his people? Therefore the L ORD Yah Veh heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob Yaaqov, and anger wrath also came up ascended against Israel Yisra El; Because they believed trusted not in God Elohim, and trusted confided not in his salvation: Though he had commanded misvahed the clouds vapours from above, and opened the doors of heaven the heavens, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn crop of heaven the heavens. Man did eat angels' food ate the bread of the mighty: he sent them meat hunt to the full satiate. He caused an east wind to blow plucked an easterly in the heaven heavens: and by his power strength he brought in drove the south wind southerly. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls winged flyers like as the sand of the sea: And he let it fall felled them in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations tabernacles. So they did eat, and were well filled mightily satiated: for he gave them their own desire; They were not estranged from their lust desire. But while their meat food was yet in their mouths, The wrath of God came Elohim ascended upon them, and slew slaughtered the fattest of them, and smote the chosen men caused the youths of Israel Yisra El to kneel. For all this they sinned still, and believed trusted not for his wondrous works marvels. Therefore their days did he consume he finished off in vanity, and their years in trouble terror. When he slew slaughtered them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired sought early after God El. And they remembered that God Elohim was their rock, and the high God El Elyon their redeemer. Nevertheless But they did flatter duped him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

The sons of Ephrayim, armed, hurling bows, turn back in the day of battle; they guard not the covenant of Elohim and refuse to walk in his torah; they forget his exploits and his marvels he shows them; — marvels he worked in front of their fathers, in the land of Misrayim, in the field of Soan. He splits the sea and passes them through; he stations the waters as a heap: in the day he leads them with a cloud and all the night with a light of fire: he splits the rocks in the wilderness and gives them drink from great abysses: he brings flows from the rock so the waters descend as rivers: and they add to sin against him by rebelling against Elyon in the parch. They test El in their heart by asking food for their soul; yes, they word against Elohim; they say, El — arranges he a table in the wilderness? Behold, he smites the rock, and waters flow; yes, wadies overflow. Gives he bread? Prepares he flesh for his people? Yah Veh hears this and wroths; and he kindles a fire against Yaaqov and ascends wrath against Yisra El: because they neither trusted in Elohim nor confided in his salvation. He misvahs the vapours from above and opens the doors of the heavens; — he rains manna on them to eat and gives them the crop of the heavens: man eats the bread of the mighty he sends them hunt to satiate. He plucks an easterly in the heavens and by his strength he drives the southerly; he rains flesh on them as dust and winged flyers as the sand of the sea; he fells them midst their camp all around their tabernacles: and they eat and satiate mightily; for he gives them their own desire; they are not estranged from their desire. and their food still being in their mouths, the wrath of Elohim ascends on them and slaughters their fattest and has the youths of Yisra El to kneel.

32 33

For all this they still sin and trust not his marvels: and he finishes off their days in vanity and their years in terror.

When he slaughters them, then they seek him — return and seek early after El; and they remember Elohim is their rock and El Elyon their redeemer.

He gave also their increase produce unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. He destroyed slaughtered their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost aphis.

He cast sent upon them the fierceness of his anger fuming wrath, wrath fury, and indignation rage, and trouble tribulation, by sending evil angels among them. He made a way weighed a path to his anger wrath; he spared not their soul from death, but gave shut up their life over to the pestilence; And smote all the firstborn firstbirthed in Egypt Misrayim; the chief firstfruits of their strength in the tabernacles tents of Ham: But made his own people to go forth pull stakes like sheep a flock, and guided drove them in the wilderness like a flock drove. And he led them on safely confidently, so that they feared dreaded not: but the sea overwhelmed covered over their enemies. And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary holies, even to — this mountain, which his right hand had purchased chattelized. He cast out exiled the heathen also goyim before them from their face, and divided felled them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes scions of Israel Yisra El to dwell tabernacle in their tents.

For they provoked vexed him to anger with their high places bamahs, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images sculptiles. When God Elohim heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel mightily spurned Yisra El: So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed tabernacled among men humanity; And delivered gave his strength into captivity, and his glory beauty into the enemy's tribulator's hand.

And he smote his enemies tribulators in the hinder parts behind: he put gave them to a perpetual an eternal reproach. Moreover he refused spurned the tabernacle tent of Joseph Yoseph, and chose not the tribe scion of Ephraim Ephrayim: But chose the tribe scion of Judah Yah Hudah, the mount Zion Siyon which he loved. And he built his sanctuary hallowed refuge like high palaces lofty, like the earth which he hath established for ever founded eternally.

And Adonay wakened as from sleep as the mighty shouting from wine: and he smote his tribulators behind; he gave on them an eternal reproach: he spurned the tent of Yoseph and chose not the scion of Ephrayim; but chose the scion of Yah Hudah — the mount Siyon he loved: and he built his hallowed refuge lofty — eternal as the earth he founded. He chose David his servant and took him from the flock folds; after the sucklings, great with young, he brought him to tend Yaaqov his people and Yisra El his inheritance; thus he tended them according to the integrity of his heart; and led them by the discernment of his palms. Psalm: By Asaph. O Elohim, the goyim come into your inheritance — foul your holy manse — set Yeru Shalem on heaps; — give carcases of your servants for food to the flyers of the heavens; — the flesh of your mercied to the live beings of the earth; they pour their blood as water all around Yeru Shalem; and no one entombs.

For, lo behold, thine enemies make a tumult roar: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty strategized private counsel against thy people, and consulted counseled against thy hidden treasured ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation the goyim; that the name of Israel Yisra El may be no more in remembrance remembered. For they have consulted counseled together with one consent heart: they are confederate have cut a covenant against thee: The tabernacles tents of Edom, and the Ishmaelites Yishma Eliym; of Moab, and the Hagarenes Hagariym; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek Amaleq; the Philistines Peleshethiym with the inhabitants settlers of Tyre Sor; Assur Ashshur also is joined with them: they have holpen been an arm to the children sons of Lot. Selah. Do Work unto them as unto the Midianites Midyan; as to Sisera, as to Jabin Yabiyn, at the brook wadi of Kison Qishon: Which perished desolated at Endor En Dor: they became as dung for the earth soil. Make Place their nobles volunteers like Oreb, and like Zeeb Zebach: yea, all their princes libations as Zebah Zebach, and as Zalmunna Sal Munna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves possess the houses folds of God in possession Elohim. O my God Elohim, make place them like a wheel; as the stubble before at the face of the wind. As the fire burneth a wood forest, and as the flame setteth inflameth the mountains on fire; So persecute pursue them with thy tempest storm, and make terrify them afraid with thy storm hurricane. Fill their faces with shame abasement; that they may seek thy name, O L ORD Yah Veh. Let them be confounded shame and troubled for ever terrify eternally; yea, let them be put to shame blush, and perish destruct: That men they may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH Yah Veh, art the most high Elyon over all the earth. To the chief Musician His Eminence, upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of Korah Qorach. How amiable beloved are thy tabernacles, O L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth! My soul longeth yearneth, yea, even fainteth finisheth off for the courts of the L ORD Yah Veh: my heart and my flesh crieth out shouteth for the living God El. Yea, the sparrow bird hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay set her young chicks, even thine thy sacrifice altars, O L ORD of hosts Yah Veh Sabaoth, my King Sovereign, and my God Elohim. Blessed Blithe are they that dwell settle in thy house: they will be shall still praising halal thee. Selah.

Who passing through the valley of Baca Weeping make place it a well fountain; the early rain also filleth the pools covereth with blessings.

Quiet not, O Elohim; hush not, rest not, O El.

For, behold, your enemies roar; they who hate you lift their head; they strategize private counsel against your people; and counsel against your treasured ones.

They say, Come; and we cut them off from the goyim; that the name of Yisra El be no more remembered.

For they counseled together with one heart; they cut a covenant against you — the tents of Edom and the Yishma Eliym, of Moab and the Hagariym, Gebal and Ammon and Amaleq, the Peleshethiym with the settlers of Sor and Ashshur joins with them — an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

Place their volunteers as Oreb, as Zebach; yes, all their libations as Zebach, as Sal Munna; Who say, Possess the folds of Elohim! O my Elohim, place them as a wheel; as the stubble at the face of the wind; as the fire burning a forest; and as the flame enflaming the mountains: thus pursue them with your storm and terrify them with your hurricane: fill their faces with abasement; so that they seek your name, O Yah Veh. Shame and terrify them eternally; yes, that they blush and destruct; so that they know that you, whose name alone is Yah Veh, are Elyon over all the earth. To His Eminence; On Gittith: A Psalm for the sons of Qorach. How beloved your tabernacles, O Yah Veh Sabaoth! My soul yearns, yes, finishes off for the courts of Yah Veh; my heart and my flesh shout for the living El: yes, the bird finds a house, and the swallow a nest for herself to set her chicks; your sacrifice altars, O Yah Veh Sabaoth, my Sovereign, my Elohim. Blithe — they who settle in your house; they still halal you. Selah. Blithe — humanity whose strength is in you; whose highways are in their heart; who, passing through the valley of weeping, place it a fountain: the early rain covers with blessings.

O satisfy us mornings with your mercy; so that we shout and cheer all our days: cheer us according to the days you humbled us and the years we saw evil; show your deeds to your servants and your majesty to their sons; that the pleasantness of Yah Veh our Elohim be on us: establish the work of our hands on us; yes, the work of our hands, establish it. He who settles in the covert of Elyon stays under the shadow of Shadday. I say of Yah Veh, My refuge and my stronghold; my Elohim; in him I confide: he rescues you from the snare of the snarer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from the calamitous pestilence: he covers you with his pinions and under his wings you seek refuge: his truth are your shield and buckler. Neither awe for the dread of night nor the arrow that flies by day; neither for the pestilence that walks in darkness nor for the ruin that devastates at noonday. A thousand fall at your side and myriads at your right; but they approach you not. But look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. Because you, O Yah Veh, my refuge set Elyon your habitation. Neither evil happens you, nor any plague approach your tent; for he misvahs his angels over you, to guard you in all your ways: hey lift you in their palms lest you stub your foot against a stone: you tread on the roaring lion and asp; and trample the whelp and the monster under foot. Because he attaches himself to me, I slip him away; loft him, because he knows my name. He calls on me and I answer him; I am with him in tribulation; I rescue him and honor him: with length of days I satisfy him and have him see my salvation.

It is a good thing to give thanks spread hands unto the L ORD Yah Veh, and to sing praises psalm unto thy name, O most High Elyon: To shew forth tell thy lovingkindness mercy in the morning, and thy faithfulness trustworthiness every night in the nights, Upon an instrument of ten strings the decachord, and upon the psaltery bagpipe; upon the harp with a solemn sound meditation. For thou, L ORD O Yah Veh, hast made cheered me glad through thy work deeds: I will triumph shall shout in the works of thy hands. O L ORD Yah Veh, how great greatened are thy works! and thy thoughts fabrications are very deep mightily deepened. A brutish stupid man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this discern. When the wicked spring blossom as the grass herbage, and when all the workers doers of iniquity mischief do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed desolated for ever eternally: But thou, L ORD O Yah Veh, art most high for evermore in the heights eternally. For, lo behold, thine enemies, O L ORD Yah Veh, for, lo behold, thine enemies shall perish destruct; all the workers doers of iniquity mischief shall be scattered separated. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn a reem: I shall be anointed with fresh oil green ointment. Mine eye also shall see look my desire on mine enemies on my observers, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked the vilifiers that rise up against me. The righteous just shall flourish blossom like the palm tree: he shall grow increase like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted transplanted in the house of the L ORD Yah Veh shall flourish blossom in the courts of our God Elohim. They shall still bring forth fruit germinate in old age greyness; they shall be fat and flourishing green; To shew tell that the L ORD Yah Veh is upright straight: he is — my rock, and there is no unrighteousness wickedness in him. The L ORD Yah Veh reigneth, he is clothed hath enrobed with majesty pomp; the L ORD is clothed Yah Veh hath enrobed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved totter not. Thy throne is established of old since then: thou art from everlasting eternity. The floods rivers have lifted up, O L ORD Yah Veh, the floods rivers have lifted up their voice; the floods rivers lift up their waves. The L ORD on high Yah Veh in the heights is mightier than the noise voice of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies witnesses are very sure mighty trustworthy: holiness becometh befitteth thine house, O L ORD Yah Veh, for ever to length of days.

Discern, you stupid among the people; and fools, when discern you? He who plants the ear, hears he not? He who forms the eye, scans he not?

Blithe — the mighty whom you discipline, O Yah; — whom you teach from your torah; so that you rest him from the days of evil, until they dig the pit of ruin for the wicked. For Yah Veh neither abandons his people nor forsakes his inheritance; for judgment returns to justness; and all the straight in heart after it. Who rises for me against the vilifiers? Who sets for me against the workers of mischief? Unless Yah Veh had been my help, my soul had almost tabernacled in silence. When I say, My foot totters; your mercy, O Yah Veh, supports me. In the abundance of my thoughts inside me your consolations delight my soul. Is the throne of calamity joined with you — which forms toil by a statute?

Hear my prayer, O L ORD Yah Veh, and let my cry come unto thee. Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble tribulation; incline spread thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily hastily. For my days are consumed finished off like smoke, and my bones are burned scorched as an hearth a burning. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass herbage; so that I forget to eat my bread. By reason of the voice of my groaning sighing my bones cleave adhere to my skin flesh. I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like likened to an owl of the desert parched areas. I watch, and am as a sparrow bird alone upon the house top roof. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against halaled me are sworn have oathed against me. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled mixed my drink with weeping. Because At the face of thine indignation and thy wrath rage: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. My days are like a shadow that declineth spreadeth; and I am withered like grass herbage. But thou, O L ORD Yah Veh, shall endure for ever settle eternal; and thy remembrance memorial unto all generations generation to generation. Thou shalt arise, and have shall mercy upon Zion Siyon: for the time to favour grant her charism, yea, the set time season, is come. For thy servants take pleasure are pleased in her stones, and favour grant charism unto the dust thereof. So the heathen goyim shall fear awe the name of the L ORD Yah Veh, and all the kings sovereigns of the earth thy glory honour. When the L ORD Yah Veh shall build up Zion Siyon, he shall appear be seen in his glory honour. He will regard shall face the prayer of the destitute naked, and not despise their prayer. This shall be written inscribed for the generation to come after: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD halal Yah. For he hath looked down seen from the height of his sanctuary holies; from heaven the heavens did the L ORD behold Yah Veh scanned the earth; To hear the groaning shrieking of the prisoner bound; to loose those that are appointed to the sons of death; To declare scribe the name of the L ORD Yah Veh in Zion Siyon, and his praise halal in Jerusalem Yeru Shalem; When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms sovereigndoms, to serve the L ORD Yah Veh. He weakened humbled my strength force in the way; he shortened curtailed my days.

The sons of your servants tabernacle and their seed establishes at your face. By David. Bless Yah Veh, O my soul, and all that is within me — his holy name: bless Yah Veh, O my soul and forget not all his dealings — who forgives all your perversities; who heals all your sicknesses; who redeems your life from the pit of ruin; who crowns you with mercy and tender mercies; who satisfies your mouth with good; — renews your youth as the eagle. Yah Veh works justness and judgment for all the oppressed; he made his ways known to Mosheh; his exploits to the sons of Yisra El: Yah Veh is merciful and charismatic; slow to wrath and abundant in mercy. He neither contends in perpetuity nor guards eternally: he neither works with us after our sins nor deals with us according to our perversities. For as the heavens loft above the earth, thus his mercy prevails mightily toward them who awe him: as far as the rising from the dusk, thus far he removes our rebellions from us: as a father mercies his sons thus Yah Veh mercies them who awe him. For he knows our form; he remembers that we are dust. Man — his days are as grass — as a blossom of the field, thus he blossoms. For the wind overpasses and is not; and recognizes the place no more: and the mercy of Yah Veh from eternity to eternity on them who awe him: and his justness to sons of sons — to them who guard his covenant and to them who remember his precepts to work them. Yah Veh prepared his throne in the heavens; and his sovereigndom reigns over all. Bless Yah Veh, you his angels, mighty in force, who work his words, to hearken to the voice of his word: bless Yah Veh, all you his hosts; you ministers of his, who work his pleasure: bless Yah Veh, all his works in all places of his reign; bless Yah Veh, O my soul.

You covered the abyss as a robe; the waters stand above the mountains; from your rebuke they flee; from the voice of your thunder they hasten away: they ascend by the mountains; they descend by the valleys to the place you founded for them. You set a border that they neither pass over nor turn again to cover the earth: — who sends the springs into the wadies passing among the mountains: they moisten every live being of the field; the wild runners break their thirst: by them the flyers of the heavens tabernacle, who give voice between the branches: he moistens the mountains from his upper room; the earth satiates with the fruit of your works so that the grass sprouts for the animals and herbs for the service of humanity; to bring forth bread from the earth: and wine to cheer the heart of man and ointment to shine his face and bread to support the heart of man. The trees of Yah Veh satiate — the cedars of Lebanon he planted — where the birds nest: as for the stork, the firs are her house; the high mountains, a refuge for the wild goats and the rocks for the conies. He worked the moon for seasons; the sun knows his entry. You set darkness and it is night; wherein all the live beings of the forest creep: the whelps roar after their prey and seek their food from El: the sun rises; they gather themselves; they crouch in their habitations: humanity goes on to his deeds and to his service until the evening. O Yah Veh, how your works abound by the myriads! In wisdom you worked them all; the earth is full of your chattel: thus this great and wide hand of the sea wherein are creepers innumerable — both small and great live beings: there go the ships; leviathan, whom you have formed to laugh. These all expect you to give them their food on time: You give them, they gleen: you open your hand, they satiate with good:

And they cry to Yah Veh in their tribulation and he saves them from their distresses: he brings them from darkness and the shadow of death; and tears their bands.

So I love your misvoth above gold — yes, above pure gold: so I straighten all your precepts to be all right: I hate every false way. PE. Your witnesses are marvels; so my soul guards them: the entrance of your words enlighten; so that the gullible discern: I gape my mouth and gulp; for I yearn for your misvoth. Face me; and grant me charism and judgment to them who love your name: establish my steps in your sayings; that no mischief dominate me: deliver me from the oppression of humanity; I guard your precepts. Light your face on your servant; and teach me your statutes. Rivulets of waters descend my eyes, because they guard not your torah. TZADDI. You are just, O Yah Veh, and straight are your judgments: your witnesses you misvahed are justness — mighty trustworthy: my zeal exterminates me because my tribulators forget your words: your saying is mighty refined; your servant loves it. I — insignificant and despised; yet I forget not your precepts: your justness — an eternal justness and your torah — truth. Tribulation and distress find me; yet your misvoth are my delights. The justness of your witnesses is eternal; have me discern, and I live. KOPH. I call with my whole heart; answer, O Yah Veh: I guard your statutes. I call to you; save me, and I guard your witnesses. I anticipate the evening breeze and cry; I await your word: my eyes anticipate the watches to meditate in your sayings: hear my voice, according to your mercy, O Yah Veh, enliven me according to your judgment. They who pursue intrigue draw nigh — far from your torah: you are near, O Yah Veh, and all your misvoth are truth. I have known your witnesses from antiquity — that you founded them eternally.

Jerusalem Yeru Shalem is builded as a city that is compact joined together: Whither And there the tribes go up scions ascend, the tribes scions of the LORD Yah, unto the testimony witness of Israel Yisra El, to give thanks spread hands unto the name of the L ORD Yah Veh. For there are set settled thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray Ask for the peace shalom of Jerusalem Yeru Shalem: they shall prosper be content that love thee.

Have mercy upon Grant us charism, O L ORD Yah Veh, have mercy upon grant us charism: for we are exceedingly filled abundantly satiated with contempt disrespect. Our soul is exceedingly filled abundantly satiated with the scorning derision of those that are at ease relax, and with the contempt disrespect of the proud pompous.

Woe is me; I sojourn in Meshech; I dwell in the tents of Qedar! How greatly my soul tabernacles with him who hates shalom. I am for shalom; and when I word, they are for war. A Song of Degrees.

A Song of degrees of David. If it had not been the L ORD for Yah Veh who was on our side, now I beseech, may Israel Yisra El say; If it had not been the L ORD for Yah Veh who was on our side, when men humanity rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick alive, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed overflowed us, the stream wadi had gone passed over our soul: Then the proud overflowing waters had gone passed over our soul. Blessed be the L ORD Yah Veh, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers ensnarers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD Yah Veh, who made heaven worked the heavens and earth. A Song of degrees. They that trust confide in the LORD Yah Veh shall be as mount Zion Siyon, which cannot be removed shall not totter, but abideth for ever settleth eternally. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem surround Yeru Shalem, so the L ORD Yah Veh is round about surroundeth his people from henceforth this time even for ever eternally. For the rod scion of the wicked wickedness shall not rest upon the lot pebble of the righteous just; lest the righteous just put forth spread their hands unto iniquity wickedness. Do good, O L ORD Yah Veh, unto those that be the good, and to them that are upright the straight in their hearts. As for such as turn aside pervert unto their crooked ways crookednesses, the L ORD Yah Veh shall lead walk them forth with the workers doers of iniquity mischief: but peace shalom shall be upon Israel Yisra El. A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again Yah Veh returned the captivity returning of Zion Siyon, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing shouting: then said they among the heathen goyim, The L ORD Yah Veh hath done great things worked greatly for them. The L ORD Yah Veh hath done great things worked greatly for us; whereof we are glad cheer. Turn again Return our captivity, O L ORD Yah Veh, as the streams reservoirs in the south. They that sow seed in tears shall reap harvest in joy shouting. In going, He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious sowing seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing shouting, bringing bearing his sheaves with him. A Song of degrees for Solomon Shelomoh. Except the L ORD Yah Veh build the house, they labour toil in vain that build it: except the L ORD keep Yah Veh guard the city, the watchman waketh but guard guardeth in vain. It is vain for you to rise up start early, to sit up settle down late, to eat the bread of sorrows contorting: for so thus he giveth his beloved sleep. Lo Behold, children sons are an heritage inheritance of the LORD Yah Veh: and the fruit of the womb belly is his reward hire.

Unless Yah Veh had been for us I beseech, O Yisra El, say, Unless Yah Veh had been for us, when humanity rose against us; then they had swallowed us alive when they kindled their wrath against us: the waters had overflowed us; the wadi had passed over our soul; the overflowing waters had passed over our soul. Blessed — Yah Veh, who gave us not as a prey to their teeth: our soul escaped as a bird from the snare of the ensnarers; the snare broke and we escaped. Our help is in the name of Yah Veh, who worked the heavens and earth. A Song of Degrees.

They who confide in Yah Veh are as mount Siyon; it totters not; it settles eternally.

As the mountains surround Yeru Shalem, thus Yah Veh surrounds his people — from this time — even eternally. For the scion of wickedness rests not on the pebble of the just; lest the just spread their hands to wickedness.

Then they among the goyim say, Yah Veh worked greatly for them; Yah Veh worked greatly for us — whereof we cheer. Return our captivity, O Yah Veh, as the reservoirs in the south. They who seed in tears shout in harvesting: in going, he who comes weeping, bearing his seed, and seeding, doubtless comes again with shouting, bearing his sheaves. A Song of Degrees: By Shelomoh. Except Yah Veh build the house the builders toil in vain; except Yah Veh guard the city the guards guard in vain: how vain for you to start early, to settle down late, to eat the bread of contorting; thus he gives his beloved sleep.

L ORD O Yah Veh, remember David, and all his afflictions humblings: How he sware oathed unto the LORD Yah Veh, and vowed unto the mighty God Almighty of Jacob Yaaqov; Surely I will shall not come into the tabernacle tent of my house, nor go up ascend into my bed the bedstead of my beds; I will shall not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber drowsiness to mine eyelids, Until I find out a place for the L ORD Yah Veh, an habitation tabernacles for the mighty God Almighty of Jacob Yaaqov. Lo Behold, we heard of it at Ephratah Ephrath: we found it in the fields of the wood forest. We will shall go into his tabernacles: we will worship shall prostrate at his footstool the stool of his feet. Arise, O L ORD Yah Veh, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed enrobe with righteousness justness; and let thy saints mercied shout for joy. For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

If thy children will keep sons shall guard my covenant and my testimony witness that I shall teach them, their children sons shall also sit settle upon thy throne for evermore eternally. For the L ORD Yah Veh hath chosen Zion Siyon; he hath desired it for his habitation settlement. This is my rest for ever eternally: here will I dwell shall I settle; for I have desired it.

Yisra El, await Yah Veh from this time and eternally. A Song of Degrees. O Yah Veh, remember David and all his humblings; who oathed to Yah Veh and vowed to the Almighty of Yaaqov. I neither come into the tent of my house; nor ascend into the bedstead of my beds; nor give sleep to my eyes or drowsiness to my eyelids until I find a place for Yah Veh — tabernacles for the Almighty of Yaaqov. Behold, we heard thereof at Ephrath; we found thereof in the fields of the forest: we enter his tabernacles; we prostrate at the stool of his feet. Rise, O Yah Veh, into your rest — you and the ark of your strength. Your priests enrobe with justness; and your mercied shout. For sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed. Yah Veh oathed truth to David; he turns not from it: I set the fruit of your belly on your throne. If your sons guard my covenant and the witness I teach them, their sons also settle on your throne eternally. For Yah Veh chose Siyon; he desires it for his settlement: this is my rest eternally; here I settle; for I desire it. In blessing, I bless her hunt; I satisfy her needy with bread; and I enrobe her priests with salvation; and in shouting, her mercied shout: there I sprout the horn of David; I arrange a lamp for my anointed; I enrobe his enemies with shame; and on him, his separatism flourishes.

For the L ORD Yah hath chosen Jacob Yaaqov unto himself, and Israel Yisra El for his peculiar treasure. For I know that the L ORD Yah Veh is great, and that our Lord Adonay is above all gods elohim. Whatsoever the L ORD pleased Yah Veh desired, that did worked he in heaven the heavens, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places abysses. He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh worketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. Who smote the firstborn firstbirthed of Egypt Misrayim, both of man and beast human unto animal. Who sent tokens signs and wonders omens into the midst of thee, O Egypt Misrayim, upon Pharaoh Paroh, and upon all his servants. Who smote great nations goyim, and slew slaughtered mighty kings sovereigns; Sihon king Sichon sovereign of the Amorites Emoriy, and Og king sovereign of Bashan, and all the kingdoms sovereigndoms of Canaan Kenaan: And gave their land for an heritage inheritance, an heritage inheritance unto Israel Yisra El his people. Thy name, O L ORD Yah Veh, endureth for ever is eternal; and thy memorial, O L ORD Yah Veh, throughout all generations generation to generation. For the L ORD Yah Veh will judge shall plead the cause of his people, and he will repent himself shall sigh concerning his servants. The idols of the heathen goyim are silver and gold, the work of men's human hands. They have mouths, but they speak word not; eyes have they, but they see not; They have ears, but they hear hearken not; neither is there any breath spirit/wind in their mouths. They that make work them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth confideth in them.

A Song of Degrees. Behold, bless Yah Veh all you servants of Yah Veh — who stand by night in the house of Yah Veh: lift your hands in the holies and bless Yah Veh: Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth blesses you from Siyon. Halalu Yah! Halal the name of Yah Veh; halal, O you servants of Yah Veh; you who stand in the house of Yah Veh — in the courts of the house of our Elohim. Halalu Yah! Yah Veh is good. Psalm to his name; for it is pleasant: for Yah chose Yaaqov for himself; Yisra El for his peculiar treasure. For I know that Yah Veh is great and that our Adonay is above all elohim. Yah Veh works whatever he desires in the heavens and in earth in the seas and all abysses: he ascends the vapours from the ends of the earth; works lightnings for the rain; brings the wind from his treasuries: who smote the firstbirthed of Misrayim — both of human to animal: who sent signs and omens into your midst, O Misrayim — on Paroh and on all his servants: who smote great goyim and slaughtered mighty sovereigns — Sichon sovereign of the Emoriy and Og sovereign of Bashan and all the sovereigndoms of Kenaan; and gave their land for an inheritance — an inheritance to Yisra El his people. O Yah Veh, your name, eternal; O Yah Veh, your memorial, generation to generation: for Yah Veh pleads the cause of his people and he sighs concerning his servants. The idols of the goyim are silver and gold — the work of human hands: mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them. O house of Yisra El, bless Yah Veh; O house of Aharon, bless Yah Veh; O house of Levi, bless Yah Veh; you who awe Yah Veh, bless Yah Veh. Blessed — Yah Veh from Siyon who tabernacles at Yeru Shalem. Halalu Yah! O Spread hands to Yah Veh; for good; for his mercy eternal: O spread hands to the Elohim of elohim; for his mercy eternal: O spread hands to Adonay of adonim; for his mercy eternal:

Blithe — that people, who is thus; yes, blithe — that people, whose Elohim is Yah Veh. Halal: By David. I exalt you, my Elohim, O sovereign; and I bless your name eternally and eternally: every day I bless you; and I halal your name eternally and eternally: great is Yah Veh and mightily to be halaled; and his greatness is not to be probed: generation to generation lauds your works and tells your might: I meditate on the glorious honor of your majesty and on your marvellous words: and say of the strength of your awesome acts; I scribe your greatness: they gush the memorial of your great goodness and shout of your justness. Yah Veh is charismatic and merciful; slow to wrath and of great mercy: Yah Veh is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works. All your works spread hands to you, O Yah Veh; and your mercied bless you: they say of the honor of your sovereigndom and word of your might;

Who stands at the face of his cold? He sends his word and they melt; he blows his wind; the waters flow; he tells his word to Yaaqov — his words and his judgments to Yisra El.

The proverbs of Solomon Shelomoh the son of David, king sovereign of Israel Yisra El; To know wisdom and instruction discipline; to perceive the words discern sayings of understanding discernment; To receive the instruction take discipline of wisdom comprehension, justice justness, and judgment, and equity straightnesses; To give subtilty strategy to the simple gullible, to the young man lad knowledge and discretion intrigue. A The wise man will shall hear, and will shall increase learning doctrine; and a man of understanding the discerning shall attain chattelize unto wise counsels: To understand discern a proverb, and the interpretation satire; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings riddles. The fear awe of the LORD Yah Veh is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise disrespect wisdom and instruction discipline. My son, hear the instruction discipline of thy father, and forsake abandon not the law torah of thy mother: For they shall be an ornament a wreath of grace charism unto thy head, and chains about chokers around thy neck throat. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou shalt not will. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait lurk for blood, let us lurk privily hide out for the innocent without cause gratuitously: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave sheol; and whole integrious, as those that go down descend into the pit well: We shall find all precious substance esteemed wealth, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in Fell thy lot pebble among us; let us all have one purse pouch: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain withhold thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste hasten to shed pour blood. Surely in vain gratuitously the net is spread winnowed in the sight eye of any bird master of wing. And they lay wait lurk for their own blood; they lurk privily hide out for their own lives souls. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain greed; which taketh away the life soul of the owners thereof their masters. Wisdom crieth without shouteth out; she uttereth giveth her voice in the streets broadways: She crieth calleth out in the chief place top of concourse the roaring, in the openings portals of the gates portals: in the city she uttereth sayeth her words sayings, saying, How long, ye simple ones gullible, will shall ye love simplicity gullibility? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out shall gush my spirit unto you, I will shall make known my words unto you. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out spread my hand, and no man regarded one hearkened; But ye have set at nought loosed all my counsel, and would willed none of my reproof: I also will shall laugh at your calamity; I will mock shall deride when your fear dread cometh; When your fear dread cometh as desolation devastation, and your destruction calamity cometh as a whirlwind hurricane; when distress tribulation and anguish distress cometh upon you.

The proverbs of Shelomoh the son of David sovereign of Yisra El: to know wisdom and discipline; to discern sayings of discernment; to take discipline of comprehension, justness, judgment and straightnesses; to give strategy to the gullible; to the lad knowledge and intrigue. The wise hear and increase doctrine; and the discerning chattelize to wise counsels: to discern a proverb and the satire; the words of the wise and their riddles. to awe of Yah Veh is the beginning of knowledge; fools disrespect wisdom and discipline. My son, hear the discipline of your father and abandon not the torah of your mother: — a wreath of charism to your head and chokers around your throat. My son, if sinners entice you, be not willing: if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent; we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well; we find all esteemed wealth; we fill our houses with spoil; fell your pebble among us; we all have one pouch! — my son, walk not in the way with them; withhold your foot from their path: for their feet run to evil and hasten to pour blood. Surely the net is winnowed gratuitously in the eye of any master of wing: they lurk for their own blood; they hide out for their own souls: thus are the ways of all the greedy of greed; who take away the soul of their masters. Wisdom shouts; she gives her voice in the broadways; she calls out in the top of the roaring — in the portals of the portals; in the city she says her sayings, Until when, O gullible, love you gullibility? and scorners delight in their scorning? and fools hate knowledge? Turn at my reproof; behold, I gush my spirit to you; I make known my words to you. Because I called and you refuse; I spread my hand and no one hearkens; you loose all my counsel and will none of my reproof. I laugh at your calamity; I deride when your dread comes — when your dread comes as devastation and your calamity comes as a hurricane; when tribulation and distress come on you.

Then shall they call upon me, but I will shall not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear awe of the LORD Yah Veh: They would willed none of my counsel: they despised scorned all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled satiated with their own devices counsels. For the turning away apostasy of the simple gullible shall slay slaughter them, and the prosperity serenity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely tabernacle confidently, and shall be quiet relax from fear dread of evil. My son, if thou wilt receive shalt take my words sayings, and hide my commandments misvoth with thee; So that thou incline hearken thine ear unto wisdom, and apply spread thine heart to understanding discernment; Yea, if thou criest callest after knowledge discernment, and liftest up givest thy voice for understanding discerning; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand discern the fear awe of the LORD Yah Veh, and find the knowledge of God Elohim. For the L ORD Yah Veh giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding discernment. He layeth up sound wisdom treasureth substance for the righteous straight: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly integriously. He keepeth guardeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth guardeth the way of his saints mercied. Then shalt thou understand righteousness discern justness, and judgment, and equity straightnesses; yea, every good path route. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto pleaseth thy soul; Discretion Intrigue shall preserve guard thee, understanding discernment shall keep guard thee: To deliver rescue thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things wordeth perversions; Who leave forsake the paths of uprightness straightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice cheer to do work evil, and delight twirl in the frowardness perversions of the wicked evil; Whose ways are crooked pervert, and they froward — pervert in their paths routes: To deliver rescue thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth smootheth over with her words sayings; Which forsaketh the guide chiliarch of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God Elohim. For her house inclineth sinketh unto death, and her paths routes unto the dead ghosts. None that go unto her return again, neither take overtake they hold of the paths of life. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep guard the paths of the righteous just. For the upright straight shall dwell tabernacle in the land, and the perfect integrious shall remain in it. But the wicked they that deal covertly shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it uprooted.

And whoever hearkens to me tabernacles confidently; and relaxes from dread of evil.

My son, if you take my sayings and hide my misvoth with you — to hearken your ear to wisdom and spread your heart to discernment; yes, if you call after discernment and give your voice for discerning; if you seek her as silver and search for her as hid treasures — then you discern the awe of Yah Veh and find the knowledge of Elohim.

For Yah Veh gives wisdom — from his mouth knowledge and discernment: he treasures substance for the straight; a buckler to them who walk integriously: he guards the paths of judgment and guards the way of his mercied. Then you discern justness and judgment and straightnesses — every good route: then wisdom enters your heart and knowledge pleases your soul; intrigue guards you; discernment guards you; to rescue you from the way of evil — from the man who words perversions: who forsakes the paths of straightness to walk in the ways of darkness; who cheers to work evil and twirls in the perversions of evil; whose ways pervert — pervert in their routes: to rescue you from the strange woman — from the stranger who smoothes it over with her sayings; who forsakes the chiliarch of her youth and forgets the covenant of her Elohim. For her house sinks to death and her routes to ghosts. Neither return they who go to her nor overtake they of the paths of life. So walk in the way of good and guard the paths of the just: for the straight tabernacle in the land and the integrious remain therein: and they who deal covertly are cut off from the earth; and the transgressors uprooted.
