¹ And it came to pass after this, that David smote the Philistines, and humbled them: and David took Metheg-haammah out of the hand of the Philistines. ² And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, laying them down on the ground; and he measured with two lines to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became David’s servants, bringing presents. ³ David smote also Hadad’ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah, as he went to extend his territory at the river Euphrates. ⁴ And David captured from him a thousand and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand men on foot: and David hamstringed all the chariot-teams, but reserved of them a hundred chariot-teams. ⁵ And the Syrians of Damascus then came to aid Hadad’ezer, the king of Zobah, when David slew of the Syrians twenty and two thousand men. ⁶ And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, bearing presents. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went. ⁷ And David took the shields of gold that belonged to the servants of Hadad’ezer, and brought them to Jerusalem. ⁸ And from Betach, and from Berothai, cities of Hadad’ezer, did king David take exceedingly much copper. ⁹ And when To’i the king of Chamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadad’ezer, ¹⁰ Then did To’i send Yoram his son unto king David, to ask him after his well-being, and to bless him, because that he had fought against Hadad’ezer, and smitten him; for Hadad’ezer had been engaged in wars with To’i; and he had in his hand vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of copper: ¹¹ These also did king David sanctify unto the Lord, with the silver and gold that he had sanctified from all the nations which he subdued; ¹² From Syria, and from Moab, and from the children of ‘Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from ‘Amalek, and from the spoil of Hadad’ezer, the son of Rechob, the king of Zobah. ¹³ And David acquired a name when he returned from his smiting the Syrians in the valley of salt, eighteen thousand men. ¹⁴ And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord helped David whithersoever he went. ¹⁵ And David reigned over all Israel; and David did what is just and right unto all his people. ¹⁶ And Joab the son of Zeruyah was over the army; and Jehoshaphat the son of Achilud was recorder; ¹⁷ And Zadok the son of Achitub, and Achimelech the son of Ebyathar, were priests; and Serayah was scribe; ¹⁸ And Banayahu the son of Yehoyada’ was over both the Kerethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were officers of state.

¹ And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of ‘Ammon died, and Chanun his son reigned in his stead. ² Then said David, I will show kindness unto Chanun the son of Nachash, as his father showed me kindness. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came unto the land of the children of ‘Ammon. ³ And the princes of the children of ‘Ammon said unto Chanun their Lord, Doth David honor thy father in thy eyes, that he hath sent comforters unto thee! hath David not sent his servants unto thee, in order to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? ⁴ Chanun thereupon took David’s servants, and shaved off the one-half of their beard, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. ⁵ When they told it unto David, he sent persons to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed; and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beard be grown, and then return. ⁶ And when the children of ‘Ammon saw that they were become in bad odor with David, the children of ‘Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rechob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand men on foot, and the king of Ma’achah with a thousand men, and of the people of Tob twelve thousand men. ⁷ And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army, and the mighty men. ⁸ And the children of ‘Ammon came out, and put themselves in battle-array at the entrance of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rechob, and the people of Tob and Ma’achah, were by themselves in the field. ⁹ When now Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he selected from all the chosen men of Israel, and arrayed himself against the Syrians: ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, who arrayed himself against the children of ‘Ammon. ¹¹ And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou bring me help; but if the children of ‘Ammon be too strong for thee, then will I go to help thee. ¹² Be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves in behalf of our people, and in behalf of the cities of our God: and may the Lord do that which seemeth good in his eyes. ¹³ And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled from before him. ¹⁴ And when the children of ‘Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then did they also fly before Abishai, and entered into the city. Joab then returned from the children of ‘Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves altogether. ¹⁶ And Hadar’ezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river, and they came to Chelam; and Shobach the captain of the army of Hadar’ezer went before them. ¹⁷ And when it was told to David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Chelam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle-array against David, and fought with him. ¹⁸ And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen; and Shobach also the captain of their army he smote, and he died there. ¹⁹ And when all the kings, the vassals to Hadar’ezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them: and the Syrians feared to help the children of ‘Ammon any more.

^{1 (13:23)} And Abiyah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Assa his son became king in his stead. In his days the land had repose ten years. ^{2 (14:1)} And Assa did what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. ^{3 (14:2)} And he removed the altars of the strange gods, and the high-places, and broke up the statues, and cut down the groves; ^{4 (14:3)} And he ordered Judah to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to execute the law and the commandment. ^{5 (14:4)} Also he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high-places and the sun-images: and the kingdom had repose before him. ^{6 (14:5)} And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land had repose, and no one had war with him in those years; because the Lord had given him rest. ^{7 (14:6)} Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls, and towers, gates, and bars: the land is yet before us; because we have sought the Lord our God,—we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered. ^{8 (14:7)} And Assa had an army that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor. ^{9 (14:8)} And there came out against them Zerach the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand times thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came as far as Mareshah. ^{10 (14:9)} Then went Assa out against him, and they set themselves in battle-array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah. ^{11 (14:10)} And Assa called unto the Lord his God, and said, Lord, nothing can hinder thee to help, whether it be the mighty, or those that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for on thee do we rely, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God! no mortal can place a restraint against thee. ^{12 (14:11)} Thereupon did the Lord strike down the Ethiopians before Assa, and before Judah: and the Ethiopians fled. ^{13 (14:12)} And Assa and the people that were with him pursued them as far as Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many, that they could not recover themselves; for they were broken down before the Lord, and before his camp; and they carried away exceedingly much booty. ^{14 (14:13)} And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the dread of the Lord was upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for abundant spoil was in them. ^{15 (14:14)} And also the tents of the owners of cattle did they smite, and they carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

¹ And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of ‘Ammon, and with them some of the ‘Ammonim, came against Jehoshaphat to battle. ² And there came some and told unto Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria; and, behold, they are in Chazazon-thamar, which is ‘En-gedi. ³ Then became Jehoshaphat afraid, and he directed his face to seek the Lord; and he proclaimed a fast over all Judah. ⁴ And the people of Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the Lord: also out of all the cities of Judah did they come to seek the Lord. ⁵ And Jehoshaphat stood forward in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court. ⁶ And he said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, thou art God in the heavens, and thou rulest over all the kingdoms of the nations; and in thy hand are the power and might, and there is none that can withstand thee. ⁷ Behold, it is thou, O our God, who hast driven out the inhabitants of this land from before thy people Israel; and thou gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend to eternity. ⁸ And they have dwelt therein, and have built for thee therein a sanctuary for thy name, saying, ⁹ If there should come over us any evil, the sword, punishment, or pestilence, or famine, then will we stand before this house, and in thy presence, for thy name is in this house, and we will cry unto thee out of our distress, and thou wilt hear and help. ¹⁰ And now, behold, the children of ‘Ammon and Moab and mount Se’ir, against whom thou wouldst not suffer Israel to come, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:— ¹¹ And behold, they recompense us, by coming to drive us out of thy inheritance, which thou hast given us to possess. ¹² O our God, wilt thou not execute justice on them? for there is no power in us against this great multitude that is coming against us; and we indeed know not what we are to do: but upon thee are our eyes directed. ¹³ And all Judah were standing before the Lord, also their little ones, their wives, and their sons. ¹⁴ And upon Jachaziel the son of Zecharyahu, the son of Benayah, the son of Je’iel, the son of Matthanyah, the Levite, of the sons of Assaph, came the spirit of the Lord in the midst of the assembly; ¹⁵ And he said, Listen ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus hath said the Lord unto you, Be ye not afraid and be not dismayed because of this great multitude; for not unto you belongeth the battle, but unto God. ¹⁶ Tomorrow go ye down against them behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye will find them at the end of the valley, in front of the wilderness of Jeruel. ¹⁷ Ye shall not need to fight in this place: stand firmly, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, and be not dismayed; tomorrow go out to meet them, and the Lord will be with you. ¹⁸ And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the Lord, to prostrate themselves unto the Lord. ¹⁹ And then arose the Levites, of the children of the Kehathites, and of the children of the Korehites, to praise the Lord the God of Israel with a very loud voice. ²⁰ And they rose up early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Thekoa’: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood forward and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; believe in the Lord your God, and ye will have permanence; believe his prophets, and ye will prosper. ²¹ And he consulted with his people, and he appointed singers unto the Lord, and those that should praise in the holy ornaments, as they went out before the armed array, and said, Give thanks unto the Lord; for unto everlasting endureth his kindness. ²² And at the time when they began with the song and the praise, the Lord set an ambush against the children of ‘Ammon, Moab, and mount Se’ir, who were come against Judah, and they were smitten. ²³ And the children of ‘Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Se’ir, utterly to annihilate and to destroy them; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Se’ir, they helped to destroy one another. ²⁴ And when Judah came toward the watchtower in the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped. ²⁵ And then came Jehoshaphat and his people to plunder their booty, and they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and costly vessels, which they stript off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in plundering the booty, for it was so much. ²⁶ And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the Lord: therefore did they call the name of this place, The valley of Berachah [Blessing], until this day. ²⁷ Then returned all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to return to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had caused them to rejoice over their enemies. ²⁸ And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and with harps and with trumpets unto the house of the Lord. ²⁹ And a dread from God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they heard that the Lord had fought with the enemies of Israel. ³⁰ So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat had repose, and his God gave him rest all round about. ³¹ And so did Jehoshaphat reign over Judah; thirty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was ‘Azubah the daughter of Shilchi. ³² And he walked in the way of his father Assa, and turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord. ³³ Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people had not yet directed their heart firmly unto the God of their fathers. ³⁴ And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Chanani, which was entered into the book of the kings of Israel. ³⁵ And after this did Jehoshaphat the king of Judah connect himself with Achazyah the king of Israel, the same who acted very wickedly; ³⁶ And he connected himself with him to make ships to go to Tharshish: and they made ships in ‘Ezyon-geber. ³⁷ Then prophesied Eli’ezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast connected thyself with Achazyahu, the Lord hath broken down thy works. And the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tharshish.

¹ And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. ² And he sent Elyakim, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet. ³ And they said unto him, Thus hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of derision is this day; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. ⁴ Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God, and who hath reproached with the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is still found here. ⁵ And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. ⁶ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus hath said the Lord, Be not afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, with which the boys of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. ⁷ Behold, I will put an other spirit in him, and when he will hear a rumor, he shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. ⁸ And Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. ⁹ And he heard it said of Thirhakah the king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight with thee. And when he had heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, ¹⁰ Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, as followeth, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria. ¹¹ Behold, thou thyself hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands by destroying them utterly: and thou alone shouldst be delivered? ¹² Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, as Gozan, and Charan, and Rezeph, and the children of ‘Eden, who were in Thelassar? ¹³ Where is the king of Chamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvayim, of Hena’, and ‘Ivvah? ¹⁴ And Hezekiah took the letter out of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it out before the Lord. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying, ¹⁶ O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the true God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who hast made the heavens and earth. ¹⁷ Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear; open, O Lord, thy eye, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God. ¹⁸ Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations, and their land; ¹⁹ And they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man’s hands, wood and stone; and these have they destroyed. ²⁰ And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, thou alone. ²¹ Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria: ²² This is the word that the Lord hath spoken over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind she shaketh her head, the daughter of Jerusalem. ²³ Whom hast thou blasphemed, and whom hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the Holy One of Israel. ²⁴ Through thy servants hast thou blasphemed the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir-trees: and I will enter into the height of its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil. ²⁵ I have dug, and drunk water; and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places. ²⁶ Hadst thou not heard, that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities. ²⁷ And thus their inhabitants were of short power, they were discouraged and confounded: they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth. ²⁸ But thy abiding, and thy going out, and thy coming in do I know, and thy raging against me. ²⁹ Because of thy raging against me, and thy tumult, that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips, and I will cause thee to turn back on the way by which thou camest. ³⁰ And this shall be unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth after the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. ³¹ And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet strike root downward, and bear fruit upward. ³² For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which escapeth out of Mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. ³³ Therefore thus hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shields, nor cast up an embankment against it. ³⁴ On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord. ³⁵ And I will shield this city to save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant. ³⁶ Then went out an angel of the Lord, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty and five thousand men; and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. ³⁷ And Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. ³⁸ And it came to pass, as he was prostrating himself in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Essar-chaddon his son became king in his stead.

¹¹ Though ye rejoice, though ye be glad, O ye plunderers of my heritage, though ye be grown fat as the heifer at grass, and neigh as stud-horses:

³² And that the passages have been seized, and that they have burnt the reeds with fire, and that the men of war are affrighted. ³³ For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time they thresh therein; but yet a little while more, when the time of harvest shall come for her.

³ Speak and say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against thee, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great crocodile that lieth in the midst of his streams, who hath said, Mine is my stream, and I have made it for myself.
