Also I have humbled all your enemies, and I will increase you, and the Lord will build you a house. ¹¹ And it shall come to pass when your days shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹² He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever. ¹³ I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before you. ¹⁴ And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever. ¹⁵ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David. ¹⁶ And king David came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what [is] my house, that you have loved me for ever? ¹⁷ And these things were little in your sight, O God: you have also spoken concerning the house of your servant for a long time to come, and you have looked upon me as a man looks upon his fellow, and have exalted me, O Lord God. ¹⁸ What shall David do more toward you to glorify [you]? and you know your servant. ¹⁹ And you have wrought all this greatness according to your heart. ²⁰ O Lord, there is none like you, and there is no God beside you, according to all things which we have heard with our ears. ²¹ Neither is there another nation upon the earth [such] as your people Israel, whereas God led him in the way, to redeem a people for himself, to make for himself a great and glorious name, to cast out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed out of Egypt. ²² And you have appointed your people Israel as a people to yourself for ever; and you, Lord, did become a God to them. ²³ And now, Lord, let the word which you spoke to your servant, and concerning his house, be confirmed for ever, and do you as you have spoken. ²⁴ And let your name [be] established and magnified for ever, [men] saying, Lord, Lord, Almighty God of Israel: and [let] the house of your servant David [be] established before you. ²⁵ For you, O Lord my God, have revealed to the ear of your servant that you will build him a house; therefore your servant has found a willingness to pray before you. ²⁶ And now, Lord, you yourself are God, and you have spoken these good things concerning your servant. ²⁷ And now you have begun to bless the house of your servant, so that it should continue for ever before you: for you, Lord, have blessed [it], and do you bless [it] for ever.

¹⁹ And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear. ²⁰ And all Israel went down to the Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.

¹¹ from the days when I appointed judges over my people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord will tell you that you shall build a house to him.

⁸ He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him. ⁹ For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.

¹ (111) Alleluia. I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

¹ (128) A Song of Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

¹⁵ But you shall depart to your fathers in peace, nourished in a good old age.

¹⁶ And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.

¹² And it shall come to pass when your days shall have been fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even your own issue, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³ He shall build for me a house to my name, and I will set up his throne even for ever.

²⁴ And David comforted Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord loved him. ²⁵ And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.

²¹ And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders.

¹⁰ And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

²⁰ And the Lord has confirmed the word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the place of my father David, and I have sat down on the throne of Israel, as the Lord spoke, and I have built the house to the name of the Lord God of Israel.

⁵ And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons,) he has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

¹⁵ for we are strangers before you, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]: our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

²⁸ And he died in a good old age, full of days, in wealth, and glory: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

⁵ Behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign and understand, and shall execute judgment and righteousness on the earth. ⁶ In his days both Juda shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely: and this is his name, which the Lord shall call him, Josedec among the prophets.

⁵ And, behold, I intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build a house to my name.

⁹ Behold, a son shall be born to you, he shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name [shall be] Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days. ¹⁰ He shall build a house to my name; and he shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom in Israel for ever.

⁶ And God said to me, Solomon your son shall build my house and my court: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be to him a father. ⁷ And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as [at] this day. ⁸ And now [I charge you] before the whole assembly of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, that you⌃ may inherit the good land, and leave it for your sons to inherit after you for ever. ⁹ And now, [my] son Solomon, know the God of your fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and willing soul: for the Lord searches all hearts, and knows every thought: if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you should forsake him, he will forsake you for ever. ¹⁰ See now, for the Lord has chosen you to build him a house for a sanctuary, be strong and do [it].

¹ And Solomon began to build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in the mount of Amoria, where the Lord appeared to his father David, in the place which David had prepared in the threshing floor of Orna the Jebusite. ² And he began to build in the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. ³ And thus Solomon began to build the house of God: the length in cubits—even the first measurement from end to end, was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. ⁴ And the portico in front of the house, its length in front of the breadth of the house [was] twenty cubits, and its height a hundred and twenty cubits: and he gilded it within with pure gold.

¹¹ And they answered us thus, saying, We [are] the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we [are] building the house which had been built many years before this, and a great king of Israel built it, and established it for them.

⁴ For a thousand years in your sight are as the yesterday which is past, and as a watch in the night.

⁷ His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

¹² and you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord Almighty; Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall spring up from his stem, and build the house of the Lord. ¹³ And he shall receive power, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and there shall be a priest on his right hand, and a peaceful counsel shall be between [them] both.

²⁸ And Samuel said to him, The Lord has tore your kingdom from Israel out of your hand this day, and will give it to your neighbor who is better than you.

¹⁴ I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men. ¹⁵ But my mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from my presence. ¹⁶ And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom for ever before me, and his throne shall be set up for ever.

¹² Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son. ¹³ Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.

³⁶ But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

¹⁴ and he sought not the Lord: so he killed him, and turned the kingdom to David the son of Jesse.

¹² He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever.

⁷ declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

¹² Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you⌃ should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.

³ Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

⁶ But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

¹⁷ until I go into the sanctuary of God; [and so] understand the latter end.

¹⁷ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

²⁸ The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; and [he] in whom is my word [spoken] to him, let him tell my word truly: what is the chaff to the corn? so are my words, says the Lord.

¹⁰ Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which you have wrought with your servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.

¹⁵ And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, [even] Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day; ¹⁶ the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.

¹⁵ And Gedeon said to him, [Be gracious] with me, my Lord: whereby shall I save Israel? behold, my thousand is weakened in Manasse, and I am the least in my father's house.

¹² And Samuel took a stone, and set it up between Massephath and the old [city]; and he called the name of it Abenezer, stone of the helper; and he said, Hitherto has the Lord helped us.

²¹ And Saul answered and said, Am not I the son of a Benjamite, the least tribe of the people of Israel? and of the least family of the whole tribe of Benjamin? and why have you spoken to me according to this word?

¹⁸ And king David came in, and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord, my Lord, and what [is] my house, that you have loved me hitherto?

¹⁴ And Ezekias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezekias spread it before the Lord,

³ The Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and there is no end to his greatness.

¹⁹ Whereas I was very little before you, O Lord, my Lord, yet you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a long time to [to come]. And [is] this the law of man, O Lord, my Lord?

⁸ and I gave you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.

¹³ And I have given you what you have not asked, wealth and glory, so that there has not been any one like you among kings.

¹⁸ And this [is] a light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.

⁷ And now thus shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, from following the flocks, to be a ruler over my people Israel: ⁸ and I was with you in all places whither you went, and I destroyed all your enemies from before you, and I made for you a name according to the name of the great ones that are upon the earth.

¹¹ And it shall come to pass when your days shall be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, which shall be of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹² He shall build me a house, and I will set up his throne for ever. ¹³ I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son: and my mercy will I not withdraw from him, as I withdrew [it] from them that were before you. ¹⁴ And I will establish him in my house and in his kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be set up for ever. ¹⁵ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.

⁶ And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.

³⁰ Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honor them that honor me, and he that sets me at nothing shall be despised.

²⁰ And what shall David yet say to you? and now you know your servant, O Lord, my Lord. ²¹ And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant, ²² that he may magnify you, O my Lord; for there is no one like you, and there is no God, but you among all of whom we have heard with our ears. ²³ And what other nation in the earth [is] as your people Israel? whereas God was his guide, to redeem for himself a people to make you a name, to do mightily and nobly, so that you should cast out nations an [their] tabernacles from the presence of your people, whom you did redeem for yourself out of Egypt? ²⁴ And you has prepared for yourself your people Israel to be a people for ever, and you, Lord, are become their God.

¹ (140) For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.

²¹ And you have wrought for your servant's sake, and according to your heart you have wrought all this greatness, to make it known to your servant,

¹¹ Your, O Lord, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the might: for you are Lord of all things that are in heaven and upon the earth: before your face every king and nation is troubled. ¹² From you [come] wealth and glory: you, O Lord, rule over all, the Lord of all dominion, and in your hand [is] strength and rule; and [you are] almighty with your hand to increase and establish all things.

³ Glory and riches shall be in his house; and his righteousness endures for evermore.

⁶ For he shall not be moved for ever; the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

³⁵ I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

¹ Jacob is my servant, I will help him: Israel is my chosen, my soul has accepted him; I have put my Spirit upon him; he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

³ and said to me, You are my servant, O Israel, and in you I will be glorified.

⁵ And now, thus says the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his own servant, to gather Jacob to him and Israel. I shall be gathered and glorified before the Lord, and my God shall be my strength. ⁶ And he said to me, [It is] a great thing for you to be called my servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob, and to recover the dispersion of Israel: behold, I have given you for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the end of the earth.

¹⁷ And now, O lord our God, listen to the prayer of your servant, and his supplications, and cause your face to shine on your desolate sanctuary, for your [own] sake, O Lord.

¹¹ Who is like to you among the gods, O Lord? who is like to you? glorified in holiness, marvelous in glories, doing wonders.

¹¹ Now know I that the Lord is great above all gods, because of this, wherein they attacked them.

²⁴ Lord God, you have begun to show to your servant your strength, and your power, and your mighty hand, and your high arm: for what God is there in heaven or on the earth, who will do as you have done, and according to your might?

³⁵ So that you should know that the Lord your God he is God, and there is none beside him.

³⁹ An you shall know this day, and shall consider in your heart, that the Lord your God he [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath, and there is none else but he.

²⁶ There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament.

² For there is none holy as the Lord, and there is none righteous as our God; there is none holy besides you.

¹ (45) For the end, for alternate [strains] by the sons of Core; for instruction, a Song concerning the beloved. My heart has uttered a good matter: I declare my works to the king: my tongue is the pen of a quick writer.

³ They have shed their blood as water, round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury [them]. ⁴ We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them [that are] round about us.

⁶ In the morning let it flower, and pass away: in the evening let it droop, let it be withered and dried up.

⁸ You have set our transgressions before you: our age is in the light of your countenance.

¹⁸ To whom have you⌃ compared the Lord? and with what likeness have you⌃ compared him?

²⁵ Now then to whom have you⌃ compared me, that I may be exalted? says the Holy One.

¹⁰ Be you⌃ my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you⌃ may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.

⁶ Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.

⁵ For I am the Lord God, and there is no other God beside me; I strengthened you, and you have not known me.

²² Turn you⌃ to me, and you⌃ shall be saved, you⌃ that [come] from the end of the earth: I am God, and there is none other.

¹² who led Moses with his right hand, the arm of his glory? he forced the water [to separate] from before him, to make himself an everlasting name.

⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction. ⁸ And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

⁴ You⌃ have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself. ⁵ And now if you⌃ will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you⌃ shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine. ⁶ And you⌃ shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.

⁷ For what manner of nation [is so] great, which has God so near to them as the Lord our God [is] in all things in whatever we may call upon him?

³² Ask of the former days which were before you, from the day when God created man upon the earth, and [beginning] at the [one] end of heaven to the other end of heaven, if there has happened any thing like to this great event, if such a thing has been heard: ³³ if a nation have heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard and have lived; ³⁴ if God has assayed to go and take to himself a nation out of the midst of [another] nation with trial, and with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in your sight.

¹ And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land, into which you go to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you, ² and the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall strike them: you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you⌃ pity them:

¹⁵ And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you from thence; therefore I charge you to do this thing.

²⁶ There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament. ²⁷ And the rule of God shall protect you, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish. ²⁸ And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with corn and wine; and the sky [shall be] misty with dew upon you. ²⁹ Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like to you, O people saved by the Lord? your helper shall hold his shield over you, and [his] sword [is] your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.

⁴² And Joshua struck, once for all, all their kings, and their land, because the Lord God of Israel fought on the side of Israel.

⁴³ There failed not one of the good things which the Lord spoke to the children of Israel; all came to pass.

¹¹ And you⌃ crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands. ¹² And he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, [even] twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.

¹⁰ And you showed signs and wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you know that they behaved insolently against them: and you made yourself a name, as at this day.

² You are more beautiful than the sons of men: grace has been shed forth on your lips: therefore God has blessed you for ever. ³ Gird your sword upon your thigh, O Mighty One, in your comeliness, and in your beauty;

⁵ Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.

³ Let the nations, O God, give thanks to you; let all the nations give thanks to you. ⁴ Let the nations rejoice and exult, for you shall judge the peoples in equity, and shall guide the nations on the earth. Pause. ⁵ Let the peoples, O God, give thanks to you; let all the peoples give thanks to you. ⁶ The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us. ⁷ Let God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear him.

¹⁵ he clave a rock in the wilderness, and made them drink as in a great deep.

² Awake, lute and harp; I will awake early.

⁹ He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for evermore: his horn shall be exalted with honor.

³ But our God has done in heaven and on earth, whatever he has pleased. ⁴ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of men's hands. ⁵ They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see: ⁶ they have ears, but they can’t hear; they have noses, but they can’t smell; ⁷ they have hands, but they can’t handle; they have feet, but they can’t walk: they can’t speak through their throat. ⁸ Let those that make them become like to them, and all who trust in them.

⁹ For mine own sake will I show you my wrath, and will bring before you my glorious acts, that I may not utterly destroy you.

⁹ out of all their affliction: not an ambassador, nor a messenger, but himself saved them, because he loved them and spared them: he himself redeemed them, and took them up, and lifted them up all the days of old.

³ whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.

⁹ But I wrought [so] that my name should not be at all profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they are, among whom I was made known to them in their sight, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. ¹⁰ And I brought them into the wilderness.

⁷ And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

⁶ For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations that [are] upon the face of the earth. ⁷ It was not because you⌃ are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for you⌃ are fewer in number than all [other] nations. ⁸ But because the Lord loved you, and as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt.

¹⁸ And the Lord has chosen you this day that you should be to him a peculiar people, as he said, to keep his commands; ¹⁹ and that you should be above all nations, as he has made you renowned, and a boast, and glorious, that you should be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he has spoken.

²² For the Lord will not cast off his people for his great name's sake, because the Lord graciously took you to himself for a people.

³¹ Therefore howl you⌃ for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you, ³² O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers. ³³ Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy. ³⁴ From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.

⁹ And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.

¹² But you said, I will do you good, and will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.

⁵ that I may confirm mine oath, which I sware to your fathers, to give them a land flowing [with] milk and honey, as [it is] this day. Then I answered and said, So be it, O Lord.

³³ then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.

¹³ They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.

¹⁹ How have they become desolate! suddenly they have failed: they have perished because of their iniquity.

¹ Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.

¹⁵ And the Lord uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before Saul came to him, saying,

³⁷ Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;

⁶ And the Lord passed by before his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God, pitiful and merciful, longsuffering and very compassionate, and true, ⁷ and keeping justice and mercy for thousands, taking away iniquity, and unrighteousness, and sins; and he will not clear the guilty; bringing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and to the children's children, to the third and fourth generation.

³³ And Isaac was amazed with very great amazement, and said, Who then is it that has procured venison for me and brought it to me? and I have eaten of all before you came, and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.
