⁸ And they cause to fall lots—charge over-against charge, as well the small as the great, the intelligent with the learner. ⁹ And the first lot goeth out for Asaph to Joseph; to Gedaliah the second; he, and his brethren and his sons, twelve; ¹⁰ the third to Zaccur, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹¹ the fourth to Izri, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹² the fifth to Nethaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹³ the sixth to Bukkiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁴ the seventh to Jesharelah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁵ the eighth to Jeshaiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁶ the ninth to Mattaniah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁷ the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his brethren, twelve: ¹⁸ eleventh to Azareel, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ¹⁹ the twelfth to Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁰ at the thirteenth to Shubael, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²¹ at the fourteenth to Mattithiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²² at the fifteenth to Jeremoth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²³ at the sixteenth to Hananiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁴ at the seventeenth to Joshbekashah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁵ at the eighteenth to Hanani, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁶ at the nineteenth to Mallothi, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁷ at the twentieth to Eliathah, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁸ at the one and twentieth to Hothir, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ²⁹ at the two and twentieth to Giddalti, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ³⁰ at the three and twentieth to Mahazioth, his sons and his brethren, twelve; ³¹ at the four and twentieth to Romamti-Ezer, his sons and his brethren, twelve.

¹ A Psalm. —A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, ² To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights. ³ On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.

³ Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with psaltery and harp. ⁴ Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with stringed instruments and organ. ⁵ Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with cymbals of shouting.

² and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of harpers harping with their harps, ³ and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four thousands, who have been bought from the earth;

¹ And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,

⁴ He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy counsel doth fulfil.

⁴ And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the petitions of thy heart.

²⁸ then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

¹³ and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; ¹⁴ if ye ask anything in my name I will do it .

²⁰ and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,

²⁸ and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and bring it in unto king Solomon.

¹³ And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold, ¹⁴ apart from what the tourists, and the merchants, are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon. ¹⁵ And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold, six hundred shekels of alloyed gold he causeth to go up on the one target; ¹⁶ and three hundred shields of alloyed gold, three hundred shekels of gold he causeth to go up on the one shield, and the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. ¹⁷ And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with pure gold; ¹⁸ and six steps are to the throne, and a footstool of gold, to the throne they are fastened, and hands are on this side and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands, ¹⁹ and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this side, and on that: it hath not been made so for any kingdom. ²⁰ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon are of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon are of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything; ²¹ for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. ²² And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom; ²³ and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath put in his heart, ²⁴ and they are bringing in each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. ²⁵ And there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem. ²⁶ And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt. ²⁷ And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that are in the low country, for abundance, ²⁸ and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.

²⁴ At four sides are the gatekeepers, east, west, north, and south.

¹³ And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one year is six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold, ¹⁴ apart from what the tourists, and the merchants, are bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon.

¹³ The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim.

²⁵ for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth correspond to the Jerusalem that now is, and is in servitude with her children,

²⁶ and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made. ²⁷ And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made them a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king, ²⁸ and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.

¹⁵ And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed gold, six hundred shekels of alloyed gold he causeth to go up on the one target; ¹⁶ and three hundred shields of alloyed gold, three hundred shekels of gold he causeth to go up on the one shield, and the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

⁹ And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king—the whole he hath taken—and he taketh the shields of gold that Solomon had made; ¹⁰ and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath given them a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king;

² And he buildeth the house of the forest of Lebanon; a hundred cubits is its length, and fifty cubits its breadth, and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar-beams on the pillars;

²⁶ and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made.

²² for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

³⁹ And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹⁷ And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with pure gold; ¹⁸ and six steps are to the throne, and a footstool of gold, to the throne they are fastened, and hands are on this side and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near the hands, ¹⁹ and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on this side, and on that: it hath not been made so for any kingdom.

⁶ Thy throne, O God, is age-during, and for ever, A sceptre of uprightness Is the sceptre of Thy kingdom.

⁸ Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad.

¹ A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

⁵ For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim.

⁴ Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves from the midst of the stall,

³ who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might—through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

⁸ and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy reign;

¹² lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble,

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

⁹ A lion's whelp is Judah, For prey, my son, thou hast gone up; He hath bent, he hath crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causeth him to arise?

²⁴ Lo, the people as a lioness riseth, And as a lion he lifteth himself up, He lieth not down till he eateth prey, And blood of pierced ones doth drink.'

⁹ He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee is blessed, And he who is cursing thee is cursed.'

⁵ and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it;

¹⁷ and three hundred shields of alloyed gold—three pounds of gold go up on the one shield; and the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

²⁰ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon are of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon are of refined gold—silver is not reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything; ²¹ for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. ²² And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom;

⁴ And sons of Javan are Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

²⁶ And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of Edom.

¹⁸ And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth it with refined gold;

⁴⁸ Jehoshaphat made ships at Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they went not, for the ships were broken in Ezion-Geber.

²¹ for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

³⁶ and he joineth him with himself to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber, ³⁷ and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying, `For thy joining thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;' and the ships are broken, and have not retained power to go unto Tarshish.

¹³ The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.

⁷ By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish.

¹⁶ And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable pictures.

¹ The Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land of Chittim it was revealed to them.

⁶ Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle,

¹⁰ Pass through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish, there is no more a girdle.

⁹ Surely for Me isles do wait, And ships of Tarshish first, To bring thy sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with them, To the name of Jehovah thy God, And to the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.

¹⁹ And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have declared Mine honour among nations.

¹² Tarshish is thy merchant, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given out thy remnants.

¹⁵ And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house, And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many houses, An affirmation of Jehovah!

³ And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah, and goeth down to Joppa, and findeth a ship going to Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah.

¹² lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like thee; ¹³ and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like thee a man among the kings all thy days;

²⁹ And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that is on the edge of the sea; ³⁰ and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any of the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt; ³¹ and he is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is in all the nations round about. ³² And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs are five, and the chief one; ³³ and he speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, and concerning the fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the fishes, ³⁴ and there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his wisdom.

²² And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and wisdom; ²³ and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath put in his heart,

²⁷ I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

⁸ to me—the less than the least of all the saints—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ,

¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body—the assembly—who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all things —himself—first, ¹⁹ because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,

² that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ, ³ in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,

⁹ and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?'

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

¹⁷ As to these four lads, God hath given to them knowledge and understanding in every kind of literature, and wisdom; and Daniel hath given instruction about every kind of vision and dreams.

²¹ And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding.

²³ Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.'

¹¹ there is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and understanding, and wisdom—as the wisdom of the gods—was found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him—thy father, O king—

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

²⁴ And these are sons of Zibeon, both Ajah and Anah: it is Anah that hath found the Imim in the wilderness, in his feeding the asses of Zibeon his father.

¹⁵ And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man—shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by his hand a present to Eglon king of Moab;

²⁷ and the sons of worthlessness have said, `What! this one doth save us!' and they despise him, and have not brought to him a present; and he is as one deaf.

² And he smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present.

¹⁰ and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars with Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass,

³³ And the king saith to them, `Take with you the servants of your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon,

⁵ and Ahab saith unto Obadiah, `Go through the land, unto all fountains of waters, and unto all the brooks, if so be we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the cattle.'

⁴ And the king of Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him in a house of restraint.

²⁴ and they are bringing in each his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

⁸ And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened himself greatly.

⁶⁶ Their horses are seven hundred thirty and six, their mules, two hundred forty and five,

¹⁰ And he writeth in the name of the king Ahasuerus, and sealeth with the signet of the king, and sendeth letters by the hand of the runners with horses, riders of the dromedary, the mules, the young mares,

¹⁴ The runners, riding on the dromedary, and the mules, have gone out, hastened and pressed by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace.

¹¹ And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.

¹⁶ `Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make ye with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,

²⁰ And they have brought all your brethren out of all the nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah.

¹⁴ They of the house of Togarmah, For horses, and riding steeds, and mules, They have given out thy remnants.

¹⁶ `Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.

²⁶ And Solomon hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

¹⁹ and all the cities of stores that king Solomon hath, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

¹⁴ and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that are in the low country, for abundance. ¹⁶ And the source of the horses that are to Solomon is from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a price, ¹⁷ and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram—by their hand they bring out.

²⁵ And there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem.

⁷ And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is no end to its chariots,

¹⁷ And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply to himself—exceedingly.

²⁷ And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that are in the low country, for abundance,

²⁴ So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering. ²⁵ And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver is strength to thee.

⁴² And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand, and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him with garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his neck,

²⁸ and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and from all the lands.

¹⁶ With ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works—cotton of Egypt.

⁹ And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of net-works.

¹ Woe to those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought. ² And He also is wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity. ³ And the Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.

⁹ And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, and dost trust for thee on Egypt, for chariot and for horsemen?

⁷ Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt hath been thy sail, To be to thee for an ensign, Of blue and purple from isles of Elishah hath been thy covering.

⁴ From this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river, the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea—the going in of the sun—is your border.

⁶ seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, `Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.' ⁷ And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their asses—the camp as it is —and flee for their life.

¹⁰ And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.

¹ The burden of a word of Jehovah unto Israel by the hand of Malachi:
