¹¹ And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons of Seir—ten thousand.

⁸ Moab is my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia. ⁹ Who doth bring me to a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?

²³ And Jehovah saith to her, `Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the one people than the other people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'

²⁹ peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow themselves to thee; those who curse thee are cursed, and those who bless thee are blessed.'

³⁷ And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and wine have I sustained him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?'

⁴⁰ and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.'

¹⁸ And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a possession, for its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly;

⁵ `Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the garrison of the Philistines is, and it cometh to pass, at thy coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of prophets coming down from the high place, and before them psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are prophesying;

³ And Jonathan smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which is in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet through all the land, saying, `Let the Hebrews hear.'

¹ And the day cometh that Jonathan son of Saul saith unto the young man bearing his weapons, `Come, and we pass over unto the station of the Philistines, which is on the other side of this;' and to his father he hath not declared it .

¹⁴ I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam, ¹⁵ and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee, ¹⁶ and stedfast is thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.' ¹⁷ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.

¹⁴ and David is then in a fortress, and the station of the Philistines is then in Beth-Lehem,

⁶ and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and the Aramaeans are to David for servants, bearing a present, and Jehovah giveth salvation to David whithersoever he hath gone.

⁴⁸ My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me. ⁴⁹ Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise, ⁵⁰ Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—unto the age!

⁷ Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

¹⁰ Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David His servant from the sword of evil.

³² In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,

¹⁵ And David reigneth over all Israel, and David is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people,

³⁸ All these are men of war, keeping rank—with a perfect heart they have come to Hebron, to cause David to reign over all Israel, and also all the rest of Israel are of one heart, to cause David to reign,

⁷¹ From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance. ⁷² And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!

¹⁴ Righteousness and judgment Are the fixed place of Thy throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face.

⁷ To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.

¹ Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule. ² And each hath been as a hiding-place from wind, And as a secret hiding-place from inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.

¹⁵ Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father—did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then it is well with him.

⁵ Lo, days are coming—an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king hath reigned and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the earth. ⁶ In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him, `Our Righteousness.'

¹⁵ In those days, and at that time, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.

¹⁸ and Benaiah son of Jehoiada is over both the Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers.

¹⁸ And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on at the front of the king.

⁷ And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;

²³ And Joab is over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada is over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,

¹⁹ Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their head; and unto the first three he hath not come. ²⁰ And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst of the pit in a day of snow. ²¹ And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance, and in the hand of the Egyptian is a spear, and he goeth down unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear. ²² These things hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath a name among three mighty. ²³ Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came not; and David setteth him over his guard.

³⁸ And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king David, and cause him to go unto Gihon,

⁴⁴ and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king's mule,

³⁴ And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goeth up and falleth upon him, and putteth him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
³⁵ and the king putteth Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his stead over the host, and Zadok the priest hath the king put in the stead of Abiathar.

²⁸ for their station is at the side of the sons of Aaron, for the service of the house of Jehovah, over the courts, and over the chambers, and over the cleansing of every holy thing, and the work of the service of the house of God,

⁵ Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of Jehovah is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an inhabitant.
