To the Jews was first committed the care of the sacred writings, and for many ages they were in a manner confined to that chosen people. There was then no need of translations into other languages; yet was the providence of God par- ticularly manifest in their preservation and purity. The Jews were so faithful to their important trust, that, when copies of the law or the prophets were transcribed, they observed the most scrupulous exactness: they not only diligently compared the one with the other, but even counted the number of letters in each book, and compared and recorded the numbers. The first translations that were made of the Old Testament were aſter the Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums, which word in the Chaldean language signifies translations. They are also often called the Chaldee Paraphrases; some of them are exact translations of different parts of Scripture ; others are properly paraphrases, containing enlarge- ments, explanations, and even additions. Several of them are yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of the Christian church. Some have affirmed that the five books of Moses and that of Joshua were translated into Greek before the days of Alexander the Great. But the most remarkable translation of the Old Testament into Greek is called the Septuagint, which, if the opinion of some eminent writers is to be credited, was made in the reign of Ptolemy Philadelphus, about 260 years before the Christian era. At any rate it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on many accounts deserving notice, though not to be put on a level with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. * The New Testament was originally written in Greek; and no sooner was the Gospel spread through the nations than it was found necessary to translate the inspired writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of the Old Testament, different from the Septuagint, were made into Greek from the year of Christ’s birth, 128 to 200. It is generally believed that the church of Antioch was favoured with a Syrian translation of the Bible as early as the year 100. The Ethiopians of Abyssinia have a version of the Bible, which they ascribe to Frumentius, of the fourth century. Chrysostom, who lived in the end of the fourth, and Theodoreſ, who lived in the middle of the fifth century, both inform us that they had the Syrian, Indian, Persian, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Scythian versions. The ancient Egyptians had the Scriptures º translated into their language. The Georgians have a version in their ancient language. The most ancient German is, translation is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 360. The Old Testament of all these translations, except & the Syrian, is taken from the Septuagint, and not immediately from the Hebrew text. - º We will now give some account of the translations of the Bible into the English language. There have been some : who have affirmed that Adelme, bishop of Sherburn, who lived in the beginning of the eighth century, translated the Psalms into the Saxon tongue. That however is uncertain, as some of the best historians make no mention of it; yet it is possible, as he was a man of great parts, and of great learning for those times, and said to be the first Englishman who wrote in the Latin language. About the same time, or a little after, Bede, commonly called the venerable Bede, “translated some parts of the New Testament, some say the whole Bible, but that is not probable. Near 200 years later king Alfred translated the Psalms into the same language. In 1382 Wickliſſ finished his translation of the Bible, which is yet extant; that is to say, there are copies of it in some public and private libraries. All these translations were made from the Vulgate. In the reign of Henry the eighth several editions of the Old and New Testaments were published in English; one of the most remarkable is that of William Tyndal in 1530. The translation of the New Testament was made from the original Greek, but probably the Old Testament either from the Latin of the Vulgate, or the Greek of the Septuagint. This was soon followed by the improvements of Coverdale and Mathews. By order of the king, Tonstal, bishop of Durham, and Heath, bishop of Rochester, made a new translation, which was published in 1541 ; but, not pleasing Henry, it was suppressed by authority. In the reign of king Edward the sixth another translation was made , two editions of which were published, one in 1549, and the other in 1551. In the reign of queen Elizabeth another trans- lation was made, which, being revised by some of the most learned of the bishops, went by the name of the Bishops Bible. This professed to be translated from the Hebrew of the Old Testament, and the Greek of the New, though in some instances, when there was a difference, it preferred the Septuagint to the Hebrew. This last circumstance, with some others, induced king James the first to select fifty-four persons, eminent in learning, and particularly well acquainted with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, to make a new translation of the whole Bible. In the year 1607, forty-seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and arranged themselves into committees, to each of which a portion was given to translate. They were favoured not only with the best translations, but with the most accurate copies, and the various readings of the original text. After about three years assiduous labour, they severally completed the parts assigned them. They then met together, and while one read the translation newly formed, the rest had each a copy of the original text in his hand, or some one of the ancient versions, and when any difficulty occurred they stopped, till by common consuitation it was determined what was most agreeable to the inspired original. This translation was first published A. D. 1610, and is the one which has been ever since that time printed by public authority, and generally used in the British dominions. It may be added with safety, that it has been generally approved by men of learning and piety of all de- nominations, of which its having never been superseded by any other, for one hundred and eighty years, is a sufficient proof ADVERTISEMENT.

And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15 And the LoRD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, to " dress it, and to keep it. 16 And the Lord God “ commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat : 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou “shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt “surely die. 18 ºf And the LoRD God said, It is Pnot good that the man should be alone : I will make him a help / meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LoRD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and 4 brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them ; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept ; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof: 22 And the rib, which the LoRD God had taken from man, * made he a woman, and * brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man. 24 Therefore shallaman "leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ‘ashamed.

And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly “three measures of 'fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf "tender and good, and gave it unto a young man ; and he hasted to dress it. - 8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them ; and he "stood by them under the tree, and they did “eat. . 9 *| And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife 7 And he said, Behold, in the P tent. 10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee ac- cording to the time of life ; and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.

At the time appointed * I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. 15 Then Sarah “ denied, saying, I laughed not ; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh. 16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom ; and Abraham went with them " to bring them on the way. 17 And the LoRD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which “I do ; 18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed "in him 4 - 19 For “I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LoRD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 20 And the Lord said, Because the * cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, 21 I "will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me ; and if not, I will know. 22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom ; but Abraham “stood yet before the LORD. 23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy "the righteous with the wicked 4 24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein " 25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked ; and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee : * Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right ! 26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all " the place for their sakes. 27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have: taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am * but; dust and ashes : 28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty right- eous : wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not de-à stroy it. 29 And he spake unto him 4 yet again, and said, Perad- venture there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake. 30 And he said unto him, " Oh, let not the Lord be an- gry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. - 31 And he said, Behold now, ‘ I have taken upon me to speak unto the LoRD : Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32 And he said, Oh, let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once : , Peradventure ten shall be found there.

And they said again, This one fellow came in P to sojourn, and he will "needs be a judge : Now will we deal worse with thee than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door. 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut the door. 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with “blindness, both small and great: so that they Wearied themselves to find the door. -. 12 ºf And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides 4 son-in-law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, “bring them out of this place : 13 For we will destroy this place, because the ‘cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD ; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons-in-law, which " married his daughters, and said, Up, * get you out of this place ; for the LoRD will destroy this city : but he seemed as one that "mocked unto his sons-in-law. 15 °ſ And when the morning arose, then the angels has- tened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daugh- ters which are here, lest thou be consumed * in the ini- quity of the city. 16 And while he “lingered, the men laid "hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being “merciful unto him; and they brought him forth, and set him without the city. 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that "he said, Escape “for thy life : flook not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain : escape to the 5 mountain, lest thou be consumed. 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh," not so, my Lord 1 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnº, mercy, which thou hast Abraham denieth his wife shewed unto me in saving my life : and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some 'evil take me, and I die : 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a ſittle one : Oh, let me escape thither (is it not a little one 1) and my soul shall live. 21 And he said unto him, See, I have “accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken. 22 Haste thee, escape thither ; for 'I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither : therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. 23 ºf The sun was "risen upon the earth when Lot en- tered into Zoar. 24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom " and upon Go- morrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven ; 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and “ that which grew upon the ground. 26 “I But his wife P looked back from behind him, and she became " a pillar of salt. - 27 || And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LoRD : - 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and lo, the ſº 'smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace. 29 “ſ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God “remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt. 30 *| And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt "in the mountain, and his two daughters with him ; for he feared , to dwell in Zoar ; and he dwelt in a cave, he, and his two daughters. - 31 || And the first-born said unto the younger, Our father GENESIS.

- 9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they “depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but 'teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons: 10 Specially " the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LoRD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will "make them º, hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. 11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain ; and the mountain * burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, P and thick darkness. 12 And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire : ye heard the voice of the words, but saw "no similitude; only ye heard a voice. 13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments : |and he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. , 15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; (for ye saw "no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire ;) 16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any ‘figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters be- neath the earth : 19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the * sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be * driven to wor- ship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God " hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. 20 But the LoRD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of “the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of "inheritance, as ye are this day. 21 Furthermore, the LoRD was angry with me * ſor your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land which the LoRD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance: 22 But I must die in this land, I must " not go over Jor dan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land. 23 Take heed unto yourselves, & lest ye forget the co- venant of the LoRD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee. 24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming "fire, even a "jealous God. 25 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s chil # 1 5 Three cities of refuge. dren, and ye shall have "remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LoRD thy God, to provoke him to anger; - 26 “I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly 'perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left "few in number among the heathen, whither the Lond shall lead you. 28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither "see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. . 29 But if "from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are: come upon thee, even in "the latter days, if thou "turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the co- venant of thy fathers, which he sware unto them. 32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this "great thing is, or hath been heard like it ! 33 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, ' and live 'l 34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation. from the midst of another nation, by "temptations, by * signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a “stretched-out arm, and by great “terrors, according to all that the LoRD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes | 35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest "know that the LoRD he is God: there is none else besides him. 36 ° Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might "instruct thee; and * upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. - 37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; 38 To drive out nations from before thee, * greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their and for an inheritance, as it is this day. 39 " Know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath : there is none else. 40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes and his com- mandments which I command thee this day, that it may ‘go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. 41 * Then Moses severed “three cities on this side Jordan, toward the sun-rising; 42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour 'unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live : 43 Mamely, "Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain coun- try, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites. 44 *| And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel : 45 " These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt | DEUTERONOMY B.

II Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them. 12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, "if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LoRD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the "mer- cy which he sware unto thy fathers: 13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people : there shall not be male or female “barren among you, or among; your cattle. 15 And the LoRD will take away from thee all sick- ness, and will put none of the "evil diseases of Egypt which thou knowest upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. .” 16 And thou shalt “ consume all the people which the LoRD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no "pity upon them : neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be “a snare unto thee. 17 If thou shalt say ' in thine heart, These nations are more than I, how can I & dispossess them " 18 Thou shall not be afraid of them: but shalt well "re- member what the LoRD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; 19 The great “temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched-out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the peo- ple of whom thou art afraid. - 20 Moreover, the LoRD thy God will send the 'hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed. - 21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them : for the Lord! thy God is among "you, a mighty God and "terrible. 22 And the LoRD thy God will “put out those nations before thee by "little and little: thou mayest not consume thematonce, lest the "beasts of the field increase upon thee, 23 " But the Lord thy God shall deliver them "unto thee, and shall 4 destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. 24 And he shall deliver ' their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven : there; shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them. - 25 The graven images of * their gods shalf ye ‘burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the "siiver or gold that is on DEUTERONOMY.

CHAPTER VIII, Jłn exhortation to obedience in regard of God’s dealing with them. LL the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye “observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LoRD sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember "all the way which the LoRD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to hum- ble thee, and to “prove thee," to know what was in thy heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he “humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with " manna, which thou knewest not, nei- ther did thy fathers know ; that he might make thoe know that man doth not live by bread “only,but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, "doth man live. 4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell these forty years. - 5 Thou shalt also consider in thy heart, that as a man “chasteneth his son, so the LoRD thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7. For the LoRD thy God "bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of "fountains, and depths that spring out of "valleys and hills; 8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates, a land of a oil-olive, and honey; 9 A land wherein thou shalt Peat bread without scarce- ness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it ; a land whose stones are iron,and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 10 When thou hast eaten and art “full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. - 11 Beware that thou "forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12 Lest when thou hast eaten, and ‘art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein ; 13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied ; 14 Then thy heart "be lifted up, and thou forget the LoRD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage ; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were “fiery serpents, and scorpions, and * drought, where there was no water : who brought thee forth water out of the * rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee,to do thee good at thy “latter end: 17 And thou "say in thy heart, My power and the might of my hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LoRD thy God: for * it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fa- thers, as it is this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, “I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before your face, "so shall ye perish ; because ye would not be lobedient unto the voice of the LoRD your God. fake | #2099. q ch. 2. 15. r Josh. 10. $). s ſsa. 30. 22. t 1 Chron. 14. 12. u Isa. 30.22.

EAR, O Israel: Thou art to “pass over Jordan " this day, to go in to possess nations greater and might- ier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, 2 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, * Who can stand before the children of Anak 't 3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which “goeth over before thee ; as a 'consum- ing fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face : so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them 5 quickly, as the LoRD hath said unto thee. 4 Speak not " thou in thy heart, after that the LoRD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For * my righteousness the LoRD hath brought me in to pos-3.j sess this land: but “for the wickedness of these nations the LoRD doth drive them out from before thee. 5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart dost thou go to possess their land : but for the wickedness of these nations, the LoRD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LoRD sware unto thy fathers, Abra- ham, Isaac, and Jacob. r 6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this "good land to possess it for thy righteous- ness; for thou art " a stiff-necked people. 7 ° Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the Lok D. 8 Also in P Horeb ye provoked the LoRD to wrath, so that the LoRD was angry with you to have destroyed you. 9 When I was gone up into the 4 mount, to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the º! LoRD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days; and forty nights, I neither did eat bread, nor drink water;| 10 And the LORD delivered unto me * two tables of stone written with the ‘finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words which the Lord spake with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly. 11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the "covenant. 12 And the Lord said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have “corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them ; they have made them * a molten image. 13 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is " a stiff-necked people : 14 “Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven : and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 15 So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount “burned with fire : and the two tables of theſ. covenant were in Iny two hands. 6 And "I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you. 17 And ‘I took the two tables, and cast them out of my O lwo hands, and brake them before your eyes. | 8 “And I fell down before the LoRD, as at the first, DEUTERONOMY.

But the LoRD hearkened unto me at that time also 20 And the Lord was very angry" with Aaron to have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron also the same time 21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust : and I cast the dust thereof into the “brook that descended out of the mount. 22 And at 'Taberah, and at "Massah, and at "Kibroth- hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath. ...” º 23 Likewise when the LoRD sent you from "Kadesh- 'barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed him not, nor heark- ened to his voice. - 24 Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that "I knew you. 25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I "fell down at the first; because the LoRD had said he would destroy you. 26 I prayed therefore unto the LoRD, and said, O Lord GoD, "destroy not 'thy people and thine "inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy “greatness, which thou 3 hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27 Remember 3 thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Ja- cob ; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin : 28 ° Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out, say, Because the LoRD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. 29 Yet they are “thy people and thine inheritance which ;thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy •lstretched-out arm.

The Lord shall send upon thee "cursing, * vexation, and 'rebuke, in all that thou settest thy hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly: because of the wickedness of thy doings whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21 The Lord shall make the * pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22 The Lord shall smite thee with a "consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an ex- treme burning, and with “the sword, and with 'blasting, and with * mildew ; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23 And thy 'heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24 The LoRD shall make the rain of thy land "powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. - 25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them ; and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26 And thy "carcass shall be meat unto all the fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27 The LoRD will smite thee with the “botch of Egypt, and with P the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou ‘ canst not be healed. 28 The LoRD shall smite thee with madness, and * blindness, and “astonishment of heart: 29 And thou shalt "grope at noon-day, as the blind gropeth, in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled ever- more, and no man shall ‘Save thee. 30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her : thou shalt build a house, and thou shalt not dwell therein : thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not "gather the grapes thereof. - 31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and * fail with longing for them all the day long : and there shall be no .* might in thy hand. 33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a na tion which thou knowest not "eat up ;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put 'a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49 The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the "eagle flieth, a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand ; 50 A nation of' fierce countenance, which shall not re- gard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51 And he shall eat the ‘fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed : which also shall not leave thee either "corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52 And he shall besiege thee * in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land : and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land which the LoRD thy God hath given thee. 53 And thou shalt eat “the fruit of thine own body, the C. flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters which the LoRD thy God hath given thee, in the siege and in the straitness; where with thine enemies shall distress thee : 54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very deiicate, his eyes shall be “evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his "bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave : 55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall “ eat; because he hath no- thing left him in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thire enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 36 The "tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the soul of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be DEUTERONOMY. e!

ND it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the “blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt "call them to mind among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2 And shalt “return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul ; 3 That then the LoRD thy God will "turn thy captivity, and have “compassion upon thee, and will return and 'gather thee from all the nations whither the LoRD thy God hath scattered thee. 4. If any of thine be 5 driven out unto the utmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5 And the LoRD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers "possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6 And the LoRD thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, “to love the LoRD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,that thou mayestlive. 7 And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which perse- cuted thee. 8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. -- 9 And the Lord thy God will make thee 'plenteous in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good : for the Lord will again" rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LoRD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 11 *| For " this commandment which I command thee this day, it is “not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, "Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ! 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall “go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, *land in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. 15 “I See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; - 16 In that I command thee this day to love the LoRD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to 'keep his command- ments, and his statutes, and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply : and the Lord thy God shal bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it 17 But if thy heart " turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them ; u ch. 29. 18.

CHAPTER VI. Jericho is shut up, 1. God instructeth Joshua how to besiege it, 2. The city is compassed, 11. It must be accursed, 17. The walls fall down, 20. Rahab is saved, 22. The builder of Jericho is cursed, 26 OW Jericho “was straitly shut up, "because of the chil- dren of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the "LorºD said unto Joshua, See, “I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the "king thereof, and the mighty men of valour, *. 3 And ye shall “compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once : thus shalt thou do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of "rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city & seven times, and the priests "shall blow with the trumpets. 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall 'shout with a great shout: and the wall of the city shall fall down "flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him. 6 || And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven “priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LoRD. -- - 7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that 'is armed pass on before the ark of the LoRD. 8 || And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the isſpeople, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on "before the oRD, and "blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 || And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the “rere-ward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the * day I bid you shout, then shall ye shout. 11 So the ark of the LoRD compassed the city, going about it once : and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. 12 || And Joshua Prose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 And "seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LoBD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them ; but the rere-ward came after the ark of the LorºD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets. 14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days. 15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times. 183 The Israelites smitten at Jii. 6 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priesis blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout ; for the Lord hath given you the city. 17 || And the city shall be “accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lo RD : only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she “hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the ac- cursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and ' trouble it. - 19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass an iron, are consecrated unto the LoRD : they shall come into the treasury of the LoRd. • , 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down "flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city," both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. • , 22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, Was We sware unto her. 23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had ; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them * without the camp of Israel. 24 And they “burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LoRD. 25 And Joshua "saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had ; and she “ dwellethi_ in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 26 || And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lok D, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in "his first- born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. 27 So the Lord was with Joshua ; and his “fame was noised throughout all the country. CHAPTER VII. The Israelites are smitten at Ali, 5. Joshua’s complaint, 6. God instruct- eth him what to do, 10. A chan is taken by lot, 18 : His confession, 20 : He and all he had are destroyed in the valley of Achor, 25. UT the "children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing : for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing : and the "anger of the LoRD was kindled against the children of Israel. 2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to " Ai, which is beside “Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and * view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. - 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up ; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai: and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they fled "before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people & melted, and became as water. 6 || And Joshua "rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face ‘before the ark of the Lord until the even-tide, he and the “elders of Israel, and 'put dust upon their heads.

In the morning therefore ye shall be brought ac- cording to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD "taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LoRD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man. 15 And it shall be, that he that is ° taken with the ac- cursed thing shall be "burnt with fire, he and all he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LoRD, and because he hath wrought folly “in Israel. 16 °ſ So Joshua' rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 17 And he brought the family of 8 Judah ; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man ; and Zabdi was taken : 18 And he brought his household man by man; and 3.4. A chan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Ze- ..]rah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 And Joshua said unto Achan, "My son, give, I pray thee, ‘glory to the LoRD God of Israel, and * make con fession unto him ; and tell me now what thou hast done, hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. 21 When I'saw among the spoils a goodly “Babylonish arment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I " coveted them, and took them, and behold, they are "hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 22 || So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent, and behold, it was hid in his “tent, and the silver under it. 23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and “laid them out before the LoRD. 24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the ‘wedge of gold, and his "sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and * all that he had : and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 189 Ai taken by stratagem. 25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us ; the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 26 And they raised over him a great "heap of stones unto this day. “So the LoPD turned from the fierceness of his anger: wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of ſ Achor, unto this day. CHAPTER VIII. ^ God encourageth Joshua, I. The stratagem whereby Ai was taken, 3. The king thereof is hanged, 29. Joshua buildeth an altar, 30, writeth the law on stones, 32, propoundeth blessings and cursings, 34. ND the Lord said unto Joshua, “Fear not, neither be C thou dismayed: "take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, “I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land : 2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king, as thou didst unto "Jericho and her king : only the “spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. 3 *|| So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out * thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away "by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie “in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready : 5 And I, and all the people that are with me, will ap- proach unto the city: and it shall come to pass when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee be- fore them, 6 (For they will come out after us) till we have "drawn them from the city; for they “will say, They flee before us, as at the first : therefore we will flee before them. 7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LoRD your God will deliver it into your hand. - 8. And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire : according to the commandment of the LoRD shall ye do. See, 'I have commanded you. 9 || Joshua therefore sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people. 10 And Joshua rose up "early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 11 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai. 12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city. 13 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their “liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley. - 14 ºf And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain: but he "wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city. 15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beat- en before them, and fled by the way of the "wilderness. 16 And all the people that were in Ai were called toge- ther to pursue after them : and they pursued after Joshua, and " were drawn away from the city. -- 17 And there was 4 not a man left in Ai, or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel. - - JOSHUA.

And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. !9 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand : and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted, and set the city on fire. 20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the 'smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and “they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. 21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascend ed, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. 22 And the other issued out of the city against them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side : and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape. 23 And the "king of Ai they took alive, and brought -"T 24 And it came to pass when Israel had made an end jºof slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wil- derness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were con- Sumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. 25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. 26 For Joshua “ drew not his hand back where with he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel *, * took for a prev unto themselves, according unto the * prey - 2 Word of the LoRD which he commanded Joshua. 28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap * for ever, even a desolation unto this day. 29 And the king of Ai he “hanged on a tree until even- tide : and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua command- ed that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a "great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day. - 30 * Then Joshua “built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in "mount Ebal, 31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Esrael, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, An altar of “whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up any iron : and they offered thereon ‘ burnt- offerings unto the LoRD, and sacrificed “peace-offerings. 32 And he wrote there" upon the stones ‘a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them ; half of them over against mount * Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Jºhal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should 'bless the people of Israel. 34 And afterward he "read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Is- rael, with the "women, and the little ones, and the “stran- gers that were conversant among them. 140 The Gibeonites, by craft, obtain a league.

Five kings war against Gibeon, 5. Joshua rescueth it, 6. God fighteth against them with hailstones, 11. The sun and moon stand still at the word of Joshua, 12. The five kings are mured in a cave, 18: They are brought forth, 23 scornfully used, 24 and hanged, 26. Seven king more are conquered, 28. Joshua returneth to Gilgal, 43. TOW it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Je- rusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to * Jericho and her king, so he had done to "Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and 2 p.º. ii. were among them ; 2 That they “feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the “royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were "mighty. 3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of “ Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of 'Lachish, and unto Debir king of * Eglon, saying, - 4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon : for "it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 5 Therefore the ‘five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered them- selves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and * encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. 6 *| And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy ser- vants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us : for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the moun- tains are gathered together against us. 7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the peo- ple of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 8 *| And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not : for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night. 10 And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to "Beth-horon, and smote them to " Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 11 And it came to pass as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LoRD cast down "great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died : they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword. 12 * Then P spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the LoRD delivered up the Amorites before the children. 141 The five kings are hanged. of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon, in the valley of * Ajalon. - I3 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of "Jasher ? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was "no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LoRD fought for Israel. . 15 || And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. - 16 But ‘these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah. 17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found "hid in a cave at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said, ‘Roll great stones upon the mouth; of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them : 19 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and Smite the hindmost of them ; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand. 20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. 21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace : none moved his tong any of the children of Israel. 22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those ue against kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, “put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dis- mayed, be strong and of good courage : for “thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and "hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid “great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day. 28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and "all the souls that were therein ; he let none remain : and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho. p 29 || Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all with him, unto "Libnah, and fought against Libnah : 30 And the Lorto delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein ; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho. 31 || And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto * Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: 32 And the LoRD delivered I achish into the hand of Is- JOSHUA.

CHAPTER XIV. The nine tribes and a half are to have their inheritance by lot, 1. by privilege obtaineth Hebron, 6. ND these are the countries which the children of Israel - inherited in the land of Canaan, which “Ekeazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed for inheritance to them. 2 ” By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. 3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half-tribe on the other side Jordan : but unto the * Levites he gave none inheritance among them. 4 For the children of Joseph were "two tribes, Manas- seh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save * cities to dwell in, with their su- burbs for their cattle, and for their substance. 5 As the Lord commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land. 6 * Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in * Gilgal : and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the "man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea. 7 ‘Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LoRD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless, my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people "melt: but I "wholly followed the LoRD my God. 9 And Moses 'sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inherit- ance, and thy children’s for ever; because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God. 10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old. . 11 As yet I am as strong this day, as I was in the day that Moses sent me : as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both "to go out, and to come in. 12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced : * if so be the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said. 13 And Joshua "blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh, P Hebron for an inheritance. 14 Hebron therefore 4 became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day; because that he wholly followed the LoRD God of Israel. 15 And the name of Hebron before was " Kirjath-arba; which flrba was a great man among the Anakims.

" And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD : and the LoRD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LoRD. - 13 And he gathered unto him the children of "Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of ‘palm-trees. - 14 So the children of Israel "served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. 15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the LoftD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Ge- ra, a Benjamite, a man left-handed : and by him the chil- dren of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab 16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had "two edges, of a cubit length ; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. 17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab : and Eglon was a very fat man. 18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. 19 But he himself turned again from the “quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king : who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by 20 And Ehud came unto him ; and he was sitting in a ..summer-parlour, which he had for himself alone : and Ehud said, I have “a message from God unto thee. he Yarose out of his seat. 21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dag- ger from his right thigh, and “thrust it into his belly: 22 And the haft also went in after the blade : and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the And ! g 23 Then Ehud went forth throug, the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. 24 When he was gone out, his servants came ; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he “covereth his feet in his sum- mer-chamber. - 25 And they tarried till they were ashamed : and be- hold, he opened not the doors of the parlour, therefore they took a key and opened them : and behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. 26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath. 27 And it came to pass when he was come, that he "blew a trumpet in the “mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. - - 28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the "LoRD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the V fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over 29 || And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thou- sand men, all e lusty, and all men of valour: and there escaped not a man. 30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourscore years. 31 *| And after him was “Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an * |' ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.

And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 || And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Ke- desh ; and he went up with ten thousand men " at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. - 11 Now Heber the * Kenite, which was of the children of "Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the “Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh. 12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abi- noam, was gone up to mount Tabor. - 13 And Sisera "gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiies unto the river of Kishon. 14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thy hand ; is not the LoRD 'gone out before thee! So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 15 And the LoRD " discomfited Sisera, and all his cha- riots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. 16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not “a man left. 17 Howbeit, Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite : for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. 18 °l And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. - 19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink ; for I am thirsty. And she opened a * bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. 20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and in- quire of thee, and say, Is there any man here 7 that thou shalt say, No. 21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into theſe JUI)GES.

CHAPTER V. This * Sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying, The song of Deborah and Barak. 2 Praise ye the Lord for the "avenging of Israel, when |the “people" willingly offered themselves. 8 * Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD ; I will sing praise to the LoRD God of Israel. 4 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the 8 earth trembled, iland the "heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. 5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel. 6. In the days of 'Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the “highways were unoccupied, and the travel- lers walked through by-ways. 7. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased |in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a "mo- ther in Israel. 8 They chose "new gods; then was war in the gates: was there "a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel '! 9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel that of. fered themselves P willingly among the people: Bless ye the LORD. 10 *Speak, ye that ride on " white asses, ye that "sit in judgment, and walk by the way. 11 They that are delivered from ‘the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. 12 "Awake, awake, Deborah ; awake awake, utter a song : arise, Barak, and “ lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam. 12 Then he made him that remain eth have 3 dominion over the nobles among the people : the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty. - 14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; * after thee, Benjamin, among thy people ; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handled the pen of the writer. 15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak : he was sent on “foot into the valley. "For the divisions of Reuben ‘ there were great thoughts of heart. 16 Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the "bleatings of the flocks 'l For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. - 17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan ; and why did Dan re main in ships ? Asher continued on the sea-shore, and abode in his breaches. | 18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that "jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. 19 The “kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 20 They "fought from heaven; the stars in their courses ground : for he was fast asleep, and weary. So he died. fought against Sisera. ë g 154 The Israelites oppressed by Midian. 21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength. 22 Then were the “horse-hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones. 23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LoRD, curse; ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the "help of the LoRD, to the help of the LoRD against the mighty. 24 & Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in; the "tent. º 25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer; and with the hammer she Smote Sisera, she “smote off his head, when she had pierced and; stricken through his temples. 27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down : at her feet he bowed, he fell ; where he bowed, there he fell down ‘dead. - - 28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming why tarry the wheels of his chariots 4 29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, 30 Have they not sped', have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needle-work, of divers colours of needle-work on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil '! 31 * So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord : but let them that love him be as the "sun when he goeth forth in his might.

And he did so. - 21 * Then the angel of the LorºD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up "fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. 22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GoD ! for * because I have seen an angel of the LORD “face to face. - 23 And the LoRD said unto him, “Peace be unto thee; fear not : thou shalt not die. - 24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LoRD, and called it Jehovah-shałom : unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites. - - v. 25 *| And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy' father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it: * 26 And build an altar unto the LoRD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down. v. 27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and 5 did as the LORD had said unto him : and so it was, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by "night. 28 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bul- lock was offered upon the altar that was built. 29 And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. 30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out 155 Gideon's army brought to three hundred. JUDGES thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down; *.*; the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove Will that was by it. - 31 And Joash said unto all that stood against him, ye * plead for Baal , will ye save him " he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar. - 32 Therefore on that day he called him ‘Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar. 33 Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east were gathered together, " and went over, and pitched in the "valley of Jezreel. 34 But the Spirit of the LoRD / came upon Gideon, and he "blew a trumpet; and Abi-ezer was gathered after him. 35 And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him ; and he sent messen- gers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them. 36 || And Gideon said unto God, P If thou wilt save IS- rael by my hand, as thou hast said, 37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor ; and if the 4 dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou wilt save IS- rael by my hand, as thou hast said. 38 And it was so : for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water. . 39 And Gideon said unto God, ‘Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once : Let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it ºf now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 40 And God did so that night : for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. .

HEN “Jerubbaal (who is Gideon) and all the people that were with him, rose up early and pitched beside the well of 4 Harod : so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. 2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are "too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, “ Mine own hand hath saved me. * 3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the peo- ple, saying, "Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him re- turn and * depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. 4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many ; bring them down unto the water, and I will * try them for thee there ; and it shall be that of “whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5 So he brought down the people unto the water : and the Lord said unto Gideon ; Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. 6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men : but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. - - 7 And the LoRD said unto Gideon, & By the three hun- i.John 16. 2.

Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the “armed men that were in the host. 12 And the "Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the children of the east, lay along in the valley like grass- hoppers for multitude ; and their camels were without number, as the "sand by the sea-side for multitude. 13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there unas a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, "a cake of barley-bread tum- bled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered, and said, "This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel ; for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15° And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the ſinterpretation thereof, that he worship- ped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, "Arise ; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of 3, a Midian. 16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and * lamps within the pitchers. 17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do like- wise: and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall ye do. 18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LoRD, and of Gideon. 19 || So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the "middle watch ; and they had but newly set the watch ; and they blew the trumpets, and * brake the pitch- ers that were in their hands. 20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal : and they cried, The sword of the LoRD, and of Gideon. 21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the ‘host ran, and cried, and fled. 22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the * Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host : and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of " Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath. 23 And the men of Israel “gathered themselves to- gether out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites. 24 *|And Gideon sent messengers throughoutall "mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the * waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.

ND the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites 4 and they did chide with him “sharply. 2 And he said unto them, What have I done now * in comparison of you ! Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi-ezer'ſ 3 * God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb : and what was I able to do in comparison of you ! Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that. 4 And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. 5 And he said unto the men of “Succoth, Give, I pray you, "loaves of bread unto the people that follow me : for they be faint, and I am *pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. - 6 || And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should * give bread unto thine army 7 And Gideon said, Therefore, when the Lord hath de- livered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers. 8 And he went up thence to "Penuel, and spake unto them likewise : and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him. 9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again ‘in peace, I will break down “this tower. 10 *|| Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east : for there fell "a hundred and twenty thousand "men that drew sword. 11 *| And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of " Nobah and Jogbehah, and Smote the host : for the host was “secure. 12 And when Zebah and Zalmunna P fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. 13 *| And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle * before the sun was up, 14 And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him : and he described unto him the prin- ces of Succoth, and the elder thereof, even threescore and seventeen men. 15 And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, ſlre the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary - 16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briars, and with them he “taught the men of Succoth. - 17 And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the "men of the city. 18 ºf Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at ‘Tabor? And they answered, “As thou art, so were they ; each one re- sembled the children of a king. 19 And he said, They were my brethrer, even the sons Gideon's children!' JUDGES B.

(For they had golden “ear-rings, because they were "Ishmaelites.) 25 And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the ear-rings of his prey. 26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he re- quested, was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks. 27 And Gideon " made an "ephod thereof, and & put it in his city, even in Ophrah ; and all Israel went thither a " whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house. - 28 Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Is- rael, so that they lifted up their heads no more.

Wherefore he called the name thereof ‘En-hakkore, which is in Lehiunto this day. 20 And he "judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. : CHAPTER XVI.

HEN “went Sarason to Gaza, and saw there “a har lot, and went in unto her. 2 Jind it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they "compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning when it is day “we shall kill him. 3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the "gate of the city, and the iwo posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of a hill that is before Hebron. 4 *| And it came to pass afterward, that he “loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. 5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, ‘Entice him, and see wherein his 5 great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him : and we will "give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. 6 And Delilah said to Samson, 'Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. $ 7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with * seven green withs, that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. 8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs, which had not been dried, and she |” bound him with them. 9 (Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber.) And she said unto him, The Philistines 162 The Philistines put out Samson's eyes. be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs as a thread of tow is broken when it ‘ toucheth the fire. So his "strength was not known. 10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, where with thou mightest be bound. 11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. - 12 Delilah therefore took P new ropes, and bound him there with, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. (And there were liers in wait abiding in the cham- ber.) And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. 13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies : tell me where with thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou * weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. 14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web. 15 " And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me ! Thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth. 16 And it came to pass when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was "vexed unto death ; 17 That he * told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon my head; for I have been ‘a Nazarite unto God from my mother’s womb : if I be shaven, "then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man. 18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, Saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. 19 And she made him 'sleep upon her knees; and she Seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. 20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LURD was " departed from him. 21 ºf But the Philistines took him, and ‘put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with “fet- ters of brass; and he did grind in the prison-house. 22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven. 23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them toge- ther, for to offer a great sacrifice unto " Dagon their god, and to rejoice : for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. 24 And when the people saw him, they “praised their god : for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country; 7 which slew many of us. 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson that he may make us "sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison- house ; and he made them sport: and they set him be- tween the pillars. t 26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon. * the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. 30 And Samson said, ‘Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house "fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. 31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between * Zorah and Eshtaol in the burying-place of Ma- noah his father. And he judged Israel' twenty years. CHAPTER XVII. Of the money that Micah first stole, them restored, his mother maketh images, 1, and he ornaments for them, 5. He hireth a Levite to be his pries; 7. º ND there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken " from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me ; I took it. And his mother said, * Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son. 3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly “de- dicated the silver unto the LoRD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a " molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. 4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took “two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah. 5 And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an "ephod, and “teraphim, and • consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. - 6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was 5 right in his own eyes. 7 *| And there was a young man out of "Beth-lehem- judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem- judah, to sojourn' where he could find a place; and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed. 9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou ? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place. 10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me “a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy 'victuals. So the Levite went in. 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. 12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then said Micah, "Now know I that the LoRD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. CHAPTER XVIII. The Danites send five men to seek out an inheritance, 1. ...At the house of Micah they consult with Jonathan, and are encouraged in their way, 3. They search Laish, and bring back news of good hope, 7. Six hundred men are sent to surprise it, 11. In the way they rob Micah of his priest and his consecrated things, 14. They win Laish, and cal: it Dan, 27. They set up idolatry, wherein Jonathan inheriteth the priesthood, 30. N those days there was “no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites "sought them an inherit- * 163 Micah robbed of his ºmages, &c. ance to dwell in ; for unto that day all their inheritance had “not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. 2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from "Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land : who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the “house of Micah, they lodged there. 3 When they were by the house of Micah, they "knew the voice of the young man the Levite : and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither 4 and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here! 4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath & hired me, and I am his priest. 5 And they said unto him, "Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous. : 6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace : * be- fore the LoRD is your way wherein ye go. 7 * Then the five men departed, and came to 'Laish,” and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and “se- cure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might "put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man. 8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye" 9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them : for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good : and are ye ‘still be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land. 10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to “a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth. 11 *| And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war. . 12 And they went up, and pitched in " Kirjath-jearim, in Judah : wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is "behind Kirjath-jearim. 13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the P house of Micah. 14 || Then " answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and tera- phim, and a graven image, and a molten image 4 now therefore * consider what ye have to do. 15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Mi-ſ: cah, and “saluted him. e 16 And the six hundred men appointed with their wea- pons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by: the entering of the gate. 17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the 'graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war. 18 And these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye 19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, "lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest : Is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel '! 20 And the * priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people - JUDGES.

CHAPTER, XIX. .4 Levite goeth to Beth-lehem to fetch home his concubine, 1. The Gibe- athites abuse her to death, 22. He divideth her into twelve pieces, to send to the tribes, 29. - ND it came to pass in those days, when there was "no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite so journing on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him "a concubine out of "Beth-lehem-judah. 2 And his concubine played the whore * against him, and went away " from him unto her father’s house to Beth-lehem-judah, and was there four whole months. 3 And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak "friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his ser- vant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father’s house : and when the father of the daim- sel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him. 4 And his father-in-law, the damsel’s father, retained him ; and he abode with him three days: so they did ° eat and drink, and lodged there. 5 And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel’s father said unto his son-in-law, ‘Comfort thy heart with 'a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way. 6 And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel’s father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thy heart “be merry. 7 And when the man rose up to depart, his father-in- law urged him : therefore he lodged there again. 8 And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel’s father said, Comfort thy heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them. 9 And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his 164 .

And behold, there came an old man from his ' work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah ; but the men of the place were * Benjamites. 17 And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a way- faring man in the street of the city: and the old man said,... Whither goest thou ! and whence comest thou ? -- 18 And he said unto him, We are passing from Beth- lehem-judah toward the side of mount Ephraim ; from thence am I : and I went to Beth-lehem-judah, but I am mouſ going to the "house of the LORD ; and there is no man that “receiveth me to house. 19 Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy hand- maid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing 20 And the old man said, "Peace be with thee ; how- soever, “let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street. 21 So he brought him into his house, and gave proven- der unto the asses: and they “washed their feet, and did eat and drink. 22 || JNow as they were making their hearts merry, be- hold, the men of the city, certain sons of "Belial, "beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may "know him. 23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is * come into my house, do not this ‘folly. 24 Behold, here is my daughter, a maiden, and his con- cubine; them I will bring out now, and "humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. 25 But the men would not hearken to him : so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until theſ. amorning: and when the day began to spring, they lether go.; 26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and “fell down at the door of the man’s house where "her lord was, till it was light.

And he said, Le it “not be known that a woman came into the floor. 15 Also he said, Bring the vall that thou hast upon thee, 168 The generation of Pharez. and hold it. And when she held it, he measured "six mea- sures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city. 16 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 to her. 17 And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother- in-law. 18 Then said she, “Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall : for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.

And the child did minister unto the LoRD before Eli the priest. 12 * Now the sons of Eli were sons of * Belial; they * knew not the Lord. . o 13 And the priest’s "custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his hand ; 14 And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; “all that the flesh-hook brought up " the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israel- ites that came thither. 15 Also before they burnt the “fat, the priest’s servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth ; then he would answer him, JN'ay ; but thou shalt give it me now ; and if not, I will take it by force. 17 Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great * before the Lord : for men & abhorred the offering of the LORD. 18 ºff But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen "ephod. 19 Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him ‘from year to year, when she came up with her husband, to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 " And Eli " blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, .|The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home. 21 And the Lord ' visited Hannah, so that she con- ceived, and bare " three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel "grew before the LoRD. 22 || Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that :assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for :*|I hear of your evil dealings “ by all this people. 24 Nay, my sons; for it is "no good report that I hear. ye make the LoRD’s people to transgress. 25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him : but if a man * sin against the LORD, who shall en- treat for him 'ſ Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto the voice of their father,” because the Lord wouldslay them. 26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men. 27 *| And there came a "man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LoRD, Did I plainly appear unto the ‘house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house 28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me! and did I give unto the house of thy father ‘all the offerings made hy fire of the children tº Q * Judg. 13.6. of Israel © 6.ii. 29 Wherefore “kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my “ habitation; and * honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people 30 Wherefore the LoRD God of Israel saith," I said in- §§jdeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should 170 God calleth Samuel. walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, “Be it far from me; for them that ‘ honour me * 1 will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. 31 Béhold, the days come that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house. 32 And thou shalt see "an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel; and there shall, not be an old man in thy house for ever. 33 And the man of thine, whom I shall mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age. 34 And this shall be “a sign unto thee, that shall corne upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas : 'in one day they shall die both of them. 35 And I will "raise me up " a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him “a sure house ; and he shall walk before mine * Anointed P for ever. 36 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house, shall come and 4 crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest’s offices, that I may eat a piece of bread. CHAPTER III. How the word of the Lord was first revealed to Samuel, 1. God telleth Samuel the destruction of Eli's house, 11. Samwel, though loath, tell- eth Eli the vision, 15, Samuel groweth in credit, 19. ND the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD “be- fore Eli. And the word of the LORD was "precious n those days; there was no "open vision. 2 And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes * began to wax dim, that he could "not see : 3 And ere the lamp of God “went out in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep ; 4 That the Lord ‘ called Samuel : and he answered, Here aºn I. - 5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not ; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 6 And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Sa- muel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son ; lie down again. .” 7 Now Samuel did not yet know the LoRD, neither was the word of the LoRD yet revealed unto him. 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down : and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, *Speak, ; LoRD ; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And the Lord came, and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 11 *|| And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, "I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall ‘tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which * I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. •, 13 For I have 'told him, that I will "judge his house is pºps. 78.60 for ever, for the iniquity which he knoweth : because his Sons * made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, not cut off from; 1.

And he answered, Here am I. 17 And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath |said unto thee / I pray thee hide it not from me : P God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me, of all the things that he said unto thee. 18 And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LoRD : 4 let him do what seemeth him good. 19 || And Samuel grew, and the LoRD was with him, and did let " none of his words fall to the ground. 20 And all Israel, from * Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord. 21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh : for the LoRD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

And they said, 'Wo unto us ! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore. 8 Wo unto us ! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods 7 these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues "in the wilderness. 9 Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Phi- listines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, "as they have been to you : quit yourselves like men, and fight. 10 *| And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fied every man into his “ tent: and there was a very great P slaughter, for there fell of Israel thirty thou- sand footmen. 11 And the * ark of God was taken ; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain. 12 || And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army 171 Dagon a smitten, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes ‘rent, and with earth 'upon his head. 13 And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the way-side watching : for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it all the city cried out. 14 And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult | And the man came in hastily, and told Fli. 15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see. 16 And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to-day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my sou ! 17 And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken. 18 And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the "gate, and his “neck brake, and he died: for he was anº old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. 19 || And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with 3 child near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself, and tra- vailed; for * her pains came upon her. 20 And about the time of her death, the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne * a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it. 21 And she named the child “l-chabod, saying, “The glory is departed from Israel. (Because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.) 22 And “she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken. t CHAPTER. V. The Philistines having brought the ark into Ashdod, set it in the house §ſ Dagon, 1. Dagon is smatten down and cut in pieces, and they of Ash- dod’smitten with emerods, 3. So God dealeth with them of Gath, when it was brought thither, 8; and so with them of Ekron, when it was brought thither, 10. ND the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought|'s it from * Eben-ezer unto " Ashdod. 2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by * Dagon. 3 *| And when they of Ashdod arose early on the mor- row, behold, Dagon "was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again. 4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD : and the head of Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were “cut off upon the threshold; “only the stump of Dagon was left to him. 5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon’s house, ' tread on the threshold of Da- gon in Ashdod unto this day. 6 But the * hand of the LoRD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he "destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod, and the coasts thereof. * 7 And when the men of Ashdod "saw that it was so, they: said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us : for his hand is sore upon us, and 'upon Dagon our god. 8 They sent therefore, and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, "What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel '! And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto * Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither. 9 And it was so, that after they had carried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the city with "a very great I. SAMUEL B.

And it came to pass as the ark of God came to P Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. 11 So they sent and gathered together all the lords of º, the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people : for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there. 12 And the men that 4 died not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven. CHAPTER VI. JAfter seven months the Philistines take counsel how to send back the ark, 1. They bring it on a new cart with an offering, writo Beth-shemesh, 10. The people are smitten for looking into the ark, 19. They send to them of Kirjath-jearim to fetch it, 21. ND the ark of the Lord was in the country of the Philistines seven “ months. 2 And the Philistines called for the * priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LoRD? tell us where with we shall send it to his place. 3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it “not empty; but in “any wise return him a trespass-offering : then ye shall be healed, and it shall be * known to you why his hand is not removed from you. 4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass-offering which we shall return to him 1 * They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords. 5. Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, |and images of your mice that 'mar the land; and ye shall # give glory unto the God of Israel: , peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off "your gods, and from off your land. 6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh ‘hardened their hearts 1 when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed ? 7 Now therefore make a “new cart, and take two milch- kine on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them : 8 And take the ark of the LoRD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the “jewels of gold which ye return him for a trespass-offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go. 9 And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth-shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us. 10 *| And the men did so; and took two milch-kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home : 11 And they laid the ark of the LoRD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods. 12 And the kine, took the straight way to the way of 'Beth-shemesh, * and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Beth-shemesh. 13 And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their "wheat harvest in the valley ; and they lifted up their eyes, and "saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. 14 And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Peth- shemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone. and they "clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt-offering unto the LORD. 172 The Israelites repent at Mizpeh. 15 And the P Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone : and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sa- crifices the same day unto the LoRD. 16 And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 17 And these are the golden emerods which the Philis-|| times returned for a trespass-offering unto the LORD ; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, P for Ekron one ; 18 And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto • the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord : which stone remaineth unto this day ºn the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite. 19 || And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had a looked into the ark of the LoRD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LoRD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter. 20 And the men of Beth-shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before this holy LoRD God! and to whom shall he go up from us." 21 || And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of * Kirjath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LoRD ; come ye down, and fetch it up to you. CHAPTER VII. They of Kirjath-jearim bring the ark into the house of Abinadab, and sanctify #. his son to keep it, 1.

Samuel peaceably and religiously judgeth Israel, 15. ND the men of “ Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up r the ark of the LoRD, and brought it into the house of " Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord. 2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jea- rim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel “lamented after the LORD. 3 || And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, say- ing, If ye do "return unto the LoRD with all your hearts, then put away the “strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and ' prepare your hearts unto the LoRD, and ºf * serve him only ; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. - d 4 Then the children of Israel did put away "Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only. 5 And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LoRD. 6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and * drew; gºs. c Eccl. 2.19. water, and poured it out before the LoRD, and 'fasted on that day, and said there, We have "sinned against the LoRD. And Samuel "judged the children of Israelin Mizpeh. 7 And when the Philistines "heard that the children of: Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were P afraid of the Philistines. 8 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, “Cease not to cry unto the LoRD Our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 9 *| And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for; * a burnt-offering wholly unto the LoRD : and Samuel cried unto the LoRD for Israel; and the Lord "heard him. 10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel : but the LoRD ' thundered with a great thunder on that day upon Lord discomfiteth the Philistinesſ. 1.

[walk not in thy ways: now * make us a king to judge us "like all the nations. 6 *| But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us: and Samuel “prayed unto the Lorp. 7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, 'Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have "not rejected thee, but they have rejected "me, that I should "not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, where with they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. - 9 Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit, yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them P the manner of the king that shall reign over them. - 10 *| And Samuel told all the words of the Lorp unto the people that asked of him a king. 11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you : He will take your sons, and ap- point them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horse- men ; and some shall run before his chariots. 12 And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instru ments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 13 And he will take your daughters to be confectiona- ries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, even the best of them, and give them to ‘ his servants. 15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his “officers, and to his servants. 16 And he will take your men-servants, and your maid 173 Saul seeketh his father's asses. servants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 17. He will take the tenth of your sheep : and ye shalliºn. s.a. be his servants. 18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you ; and the LoRD will ‘not hear you in that day. 19 || Nevertheless, the people " refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “Nay; but we will have a king over us; 20 That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. 21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and; he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. 22 And the Lord said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king.

Now therefore get you up : for about this time ye shall find him. -- 14 And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place. 15 "Now the LorºD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying, 16 To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shall anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people ‘out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me. 17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord " said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of this same shall “reign over my people. 18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is. 19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer : go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to-day, and to-morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart. 20 And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them ; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel '! Is it not on thee, and on all thy father’s house ! 21 And Saul answered and said, ſlm not I a Benjamite, of the 7 smallest of the tribes of Israel 4 and my family the * least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin'! where- fore then speakest thou so to me ! 22 And Samuel took Saul, and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them “sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons. 23 And Samuel said unto the cook, bring the * portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee. 24 And the cook took up the “shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left set it before thee, and eat ; for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day 25 || And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel "communed with Saul upon the * top of the house. - ! 26 And they arose early : and it came to pass about the spring of the day that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad. 27 Jind as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,) but 'stand thou still “a while, that I may ‘shew thee the word of God.

Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets 7 - 13 And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place. 14 " And Saul’s uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel. 15 And Saul’s uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you. 16 And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. whereof Samuel spake, he told " him not. 17 || And Samuel called the people together “unto the LoRD to 3 Mizpeh ; 18 And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LoRD God of Israel, “I brought up Israel out of Egypt, D and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that op-l. pressed you : 19 And ye have this tions; and ye have "said unto him, JN'ay, but set a king OVer U.S. LoRD by your “tribes, and by your" thousands. 20 And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel , “to come near, the tribe of Benjamin ' was taken. 21 When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and; Saul the son of Kish was taken : and when they sought him, he could # not be found. * 22 Therefore they "inquired of the LoRD further, if the man should yet come thither.

And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. 6 And the #Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his "anger was kindled greatly. 7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, * so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LoRD fell on the people, and they came out b with one consent. 8 And when he numbered them in 'Bezek, the chil- dren of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 9 And they said unto the messengers that came thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To-morrow, |by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the 17|messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; *|and they were glad. 10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To-morrow "we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that * 11 And it was so on the “morrow, that Saul put the §people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the “morning-waich, and slew the |Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that P two of them were not left together. 12 *| And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul "reign over us 1 bring the men, that we may put them to death. - 13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to-day the LoRD hath wrought salva- tion in Israel. 14 Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to * Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. - | 15 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul ‘king before the LoRD in Gilgal : and there 175 Samuel reproveth the people. they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings before the Lord ; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly. | CHAPTER XII.

When "Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers ° cried unto the Lo RD, then the Lor D sent P Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place. 9 And when they " forgat the LoRD their God, " he sold them into the hand of "Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the " Philistines, and into the hand of the king of "Moab, and they fought against them. 10 And they cried unto the Lord, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LoRD, and have served “ Baalim and Ashtaroth : but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 11 And the LoRD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe. 12 And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the chil- dren of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but “a king shall reign over us ; when the LoRD your God “ was your king. 13 Now therefore, behold the king whom "ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired and behold, “ the LoRD hath set a king over you. 14 If ye will "fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandsment of the LoRD, then shall both ye, and also the king that reignethi over you, continue following the LoRD your God. 15 But if ye will “not obey the voice of the LoRD, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers. 16 || Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes. 17 Is it not * wheat-harvest to-day !

And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear. 4 And all Israel heard say " that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had ... in abomination with the Philistines: and the people were ..] called together after Saul to Gilgal. 5 *| And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thou- sand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the 5 sea-shore in multitude : and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from " Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a ‘strait (for the people were distressed) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. - 7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gil- gal, and all the people b followed him trembling. 8 *| And he tarried “seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal ; and the people were scattered from him. 9 And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt-offering to me, and peace-offerings. And he "offered the burnt-offering. 10 And it came to pass, that "as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came ; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. 11 *| And Samuel said, What hast thou done 7 And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were Scattered from me, and that thou cannest not "within the days ap- 176 Jonathan miraculously smiteth pointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves to- gether at Michmash; 12 Therefore P said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplicationſ: unto the Lord : " I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt-offering. . 13 And Samuel said to Saul, "Thou hast done 'foolish- ly : thou hast not kept the commandment of the LoRD thy God, which he commanded thee : for now would the LóRD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue : the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LoRD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD Com- manded thee. 15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, "about six hundred men. 16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin : but the Philistines encamped in Michmash. 17 || And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to “Ophrah, unto the land of Shual: 18 And another company turned the way to * Beth- horon: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the “valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness. 19 || Now there was "no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: (for the Philistines said, “Lest the He- Wrews make them swords or spears :) 20 But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 21 Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. 22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither “sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan : but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. 23 And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash. - CHAPTER XIV.

And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. 4 *| And between the passages by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a "sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side : and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 5 The forefront of the one was situate north ward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah. 1.

And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armour- bearer were not there. 18 And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the chil- dren of Israel. 19 || And it came to pass while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on, and increased : and Saul said unto the priest, * Withdraw thy hand. 20 And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle : and behold, every man’s sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture. - 21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan. 22 Likewise all the men of Israel which had "hid them- selves in mount Fphraim, when they heard that the Phi- listines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle. 23 So the LoRD “saved Israel that day: and the 7 bat- tle passed over unto Beth-aven. . 24 || And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saui had “adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any “food until evening, that I may be * avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food. 25 And "all they of the land came to a wood; and there 6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his Nº. š, was “ honey upon the ground - Z 177 Jonathan taken by lot. 26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped : but no man put his hand to his mouth ; for the people feared the oath. 27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath ; wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in ‘a honey- comb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his “eyes were enlightened. 28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father'ſ straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And, the people were faint. 29 Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlight- ened, because I tasted a little of this honey. 30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found ! : for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines 4 3. And they smote the Philistines that day from Mich- mash to Aijalon ; and the people were very faint. 32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground : and the people * did eat them with the ‘blood. 33 * Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LoRD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have 4 transgressed : "roll a great stone unto me this day. . 34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the peo- ple, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there. 35 And Saul “built an altar unto the LORD : * the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD : 36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatso- ever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us * draw near hither unto God. 37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down; after the Philistines 1 wilt thou deliver thern into the hand of Israel '! But he "answered him not that day. 38 And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see " wherein this sin hath been this day. 39 For as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though &l it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him. 40 Then said he unto all Israel, Beye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. 4i Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel,” * Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped. * 42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken. 43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand, and lo, I must die. 44 And Saul answered, “God do so, and more also : for thou shalt surely P die, Jonathan. 's 45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel'ſ God for- bid : as the Lord liveth, there shall not “one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought ' with God I.

Saul Smiteth the Amalekites 46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines : and the Philistines went to their own place. 47 * So Saul "took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he "Vexed them. 48 And he gathered a host, and smote the “Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. 49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua : and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal : 50 And the name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz : and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle. 51 And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of * Abiel. 52 And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any ‘valiant man, he took him unto him. CHAPTER XV. Samuel sendeth Saul to destroy Amalek, 1. Saul favoureth the Kenites, 6 : He spareth Agag and the best of the spoil, 8.

Samuel and Saul part, 34. $ AMUEL also said unto Saul, The LORD “sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore "hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the Lord. 2 Thus saith the * LoRD of hosts, " I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he “laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and smite Amalek, and "utterly destroy all is that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, & Ox and sheep, camel and ass. 4 And Saul gathered the people together, and num bered them in "Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ' ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the * valley. 6 *| And Saul said unto the 'Kenites, "Go, depart, *get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them : for ye "shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites is departed from among the Amalekites. 7 And Saul P smote the Amalekites from 4 Havilah, until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt. 8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people * spared Agag, and the ‘best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them : but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. - 10 * Then came the word of the Lord unto Samuel, saying, --- 11 It "repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king. for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he “cried unto the LORD all night. 12 And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to “Car- mel, and behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 13 And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord : " I have performed the this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not. iºn.commandment of the LoRD. 178 Samuel killeth Agag. 14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear ! 15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the “people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to * sacrifice unto the LORD thy God;|3 and the rest we have utterly destroyed. f 16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LoRD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. . 17 And Samuel said, When thou wast “little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel '! 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the 'sinners the Amalekites, and fight; against them until they be consumed. 19 Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LoRD, but didst 8 fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD ! 20 And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the LoRD. sent me, and have brought "Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things, which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LoRD thy God in Gilgal. 22 And Samuel said, Hath the LoRD as great “delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord 4 Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. - 23 For * rebellion is as "the sin of witchcraft, and stub- bornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LoRD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 24 || And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned : for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because “I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn 12. again with me, that I may worship the LoRD. - 26 And Samuel said unto Saul, P I will not return with thee: for ‘ thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 28 And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine that is better than thou. . 29 And also the "Strength of Israel will not "lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. 30 Then he said, I have sinned : yet "honour me now,' l pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LoRD thy God. 31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; shipped the LORD. 32 * Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the “bitterness of death is past. 33 And Samuel said, " As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And “Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal. 34 || Then Samuel went to Ramah ; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 35 And Samuel came no more * to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul : and Saul wor- and the LoRD repented that he had made Saul king overſis Israei, I.

And the LORD said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to “sacrifice to the LoRD. 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do : and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee. 4 And Samuel did that which the LoRD spake, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the town 'trembled at his coming, and said, “Comest thou peaceably 5 And he said, Peaceably : I am come to sacrifice unto the LoRD : * sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 6 *| And it came to pass when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and "said, Surely the 'Lord’s anointed is before him. 7 But the Lord * said unto Samuel, Look not on his ' countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have "refused him : for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the "outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the * heart. 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the Lor D chosen this. 9 Then Jesse made PShammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LoRD chosen this. - 10 Again, Jesse made "seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. . 11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy chil- And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep.

Now he was "ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, 'anoint him: for this is he. 13 * Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren : and the ‘Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Sa- muel rose up, and went to Ramah. 14 || But the Spirit of the Lord y departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him. - 15 And Saul’s servants said unto him, Behold now, an * evil spirit *from God troubleth thee. 16 Let our lord now command thy servants, which are "before thee, to seek out a man who is a cunning player on a harp : and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be * well. 17 And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, be- hold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is cunning in playing, and "a mighty valiant man, and a man }} |of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is “with him. - 19 || Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep. 20 And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul - 179 The challenge of ſolvath. 21 And David came to Saul, and ‘stood before him: and he gloved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer. 22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me ; for he hath found favour in my sight. 23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit" from God is was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand : so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him. CHAPTER XVII. The armies of the Israelites and Philistines being ready to battle, 1, Go- liath cometh prowdly forth to challenge a combat, 4. David sent by his other to visit his brethren, taketh the challenge, 12. Eliab chideth him, 28: He is brought to Sawl, 30 : He sheweth the reason of his confi- dence, 32. Without armour, armed by faith, he slayºth the giant, 38. Sawl taketh notice of David, 55. OW the Philistines gathered together their armies * to battle, and were gathered together at “ Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and " Azekah, in “Ephes-dammim. 2. 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered to- gether, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the bat- tle in array against the Philistines. 3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side : and there was a valley between them. s 4 *| And there went out " a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named " Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And he had a helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail ; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a tar- get of brass between his shoulders. 7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam ; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron:" and one bearing a shield went before him. 8 And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array ? am not I a Philistine, and you servants to Saul ? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me. 9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants : but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. 10 And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together. 11 When Saul and all Israel beard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 12 * Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse ; and he had * eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. 13 And the three "eldest sons of Jesse went and fol- lowed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the first-born, and next!" unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 14 And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul. - . 15 But David " went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem. - 16 And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days. 17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an “ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp of thy brethren : 18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. 19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

Judges David accepteth the challenge. the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him ; and he came to the “trench, as the host was going forth to the 'fight, and shouted for the battle, 21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. 22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and “sa- luted his brethren, 23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words ; and David heard them. 24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, * fled from him, and were sore afraid. 25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up 1 surely to defy Israel is he come up ; and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will en- rich him with great riches, and will "give him his daugh- ter, and make his father’s house free in Israel. 26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, say- ing, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philis- tine, and taketh away the "reproach from Israel 4 for who vs this uncircuracised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the “living God 27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 28 ºf And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s Panger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither 4 and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilder- mess? I know thy "pride, and the naughtiness of thy heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. 29 And David said, What have I now done " " Is there not a cause ! 30 " And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the s same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. 31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul : and he sent for him. 32 ºf And David said to Saul, "Let no man’s heart fall because of him ; thy servant ‘will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him : for thou art but a youth, and he "a man of war from his youth. 34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant "kept his fa- ther’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock : 35 And I went out after him and smote him, and de , i... livered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and “smote him, and slew him. 36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, see- ing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 37 David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will 3 deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee. 38 ' And Saul armed David with * his armour, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head ; also he armed him with a coat of mail. - 39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go ; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot “go with these, for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. 40 And he took his "staff in his hand, and chose him * five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling 20 " And David rose up early in the morning, and leftººl.ºr.jwas in his hand : and he drew near to the Philistine. 180 David killeth Goliath. 41 And the Philistine came on, and drew near unto Da- vid; and the man that bare the "shield went before him. 42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, *he disdained him : for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43 And the Philistine said unto David, ſlim I a dog, that thou comest to me with 'staves? and the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and * I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but 15 I come to thee "in the name of the LoRD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 “This day will the LoRD deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth : that 'all the earth may know that there is a God "in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lor D * saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle " is the LoRD’s, and he will give you into our hands. - 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. * * 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his fore- head, that the stone 'sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine and slew him ; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head there with. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled. 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to P Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. - 53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their “tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to * Jerusalem ; but he put his " armour in his tent. 55 ° And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner the captain of the host, Ab- ner, "whose son is this youth And Abner said, ſls thy soul livetn, O king, I cannot tell. 56 And the king said, ‘Inquire thou whose son the stripling is. 57 And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul ‘with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.

O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LoRD said, ' He will come down. 12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah" deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul ?

But she "told not her husband Nabal. 20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. 21 (Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that “this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him : and he hath * requited me evil for good. 22 * So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that ‘pisseth against the wall.) 23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and light- ed off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bow- ed herself to the ground, 24 And * fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be : and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thy handmaid. 25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabai : for as his name is, so is he ; "Nabal is his name, and folly is with him : but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. 26 Now therefore, my lord, as the "LoRD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming * to shed blood, and from ‘avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as " Nabal. 27 And now this 'blessing which thy handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that “follow my lord. - 28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thy handmaid : for the LoRD will certainly make my lord "a sure house; .22, because my lord fighteth the "battles of the LoRD, and ° evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul : but the soul of my lord shall be P bound in the bun- dle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he 4 sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. 30 And it shall come to pass, when the LoRD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel ; - - . 31 That this shall be "no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LoRD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid. -- 32 *| And David " said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me : 33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself Y. mine own hand I Saul cometh against David. 34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, Surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that piss- eth against the wall. 35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have ac- cepted thy person. 36 || And Abigail came to Nabal ; "a feast in his house, like the feast of a king ; and Na-; bal’s heart was merry within him, for he was very ‘drunk- en : wherefore she told him "nothing, less or more, until the morning light. 37 But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told * him these things, that his heart 7 died within him, and he became as a stone. 38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LoRD smote Nabal, that he died. - - 39 °ſ And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath “pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil : for the LoRD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal “upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, " to take her to him to wife. 40 And when the serval its of David were come to Abi- gail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 41 And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a servant “to wash the feet of the servants of my lord. 42 And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went “after her ; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife. 43 David also took Ahinoam of "Jezreel ; and they were also both of them his wives. and behold, he held; I, SAMUEL.

And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite ; and my master left me, because " three days agone I fell sick. - 14 We made an invasion upon the south of the “ Chere- |thites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the P south of Caleb ; and we burnt Ziklag with fire. 15 And David said to him, Carist thou bring me down to i9, this company And he said, Swear unto me by God, that , thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company. 16 °ſ Arid when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fied. 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away : and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them : David recovered all. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is * David’s spoil. 21 *| And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook 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 them. 22 Then answered "all the wicked men, and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them aught of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart. 23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, “my brethren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who hath pre- served us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand. 24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter 1 but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, 3 so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike. 25 And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day. 26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his “friends, saying, | Behold a ‘present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LoR D ; 27 To them which were in * Beth-el, and to them which were in * south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir, ..}89 Saul and his sons are slain. 28 And to them which were in “Aroer, and to them, which were in "Siphmoth, and to them which were in * Eshtemoa, 29 And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the 'Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the * Kenites, 30 And to them which were in "Hormah, and to them which were in ‘Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach, 31 And to them which were in * Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt. - CHAPTER XXXI.

And Joab said, Let them arise. 15 Then there arose, and went over by number, twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of a Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. 16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side: so they fell down together : wherefore that place was called Helcath-haz- Zurim, which is in Gibeon. 17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Ab- ner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the ser- Wants of David. ...” 18 °.

Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. 11 Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, * so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons. 12, And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was 'Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. 13 So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem : for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet. - CHAPTER X. David’s messengers sent to º: Hanun the son of Nahash, are vil- lamously entreated, 1. The Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians are overcome by Joab and ºffbishai, 6. Shobach, making a new supply of the Syrians at Helam, is slain by David, 15. ND it came to pass after this, that the “king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanum his son reign- ed in his stead. 2 Then said David, I will "shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. 3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee! “hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it ! 4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shav col . #|off the one half of their "beards, 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 to meet them, be- cause the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tar ry at "Jericho, until your beards be grown, and then return. 6 || And when the children of Ammon saw that they 5 stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and "hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and ' the Syrians of Zo- bah, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thou- sand men, and of " Ish-tob twelve thousand men. 7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of ' the mighty men. 8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the "gate: and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field - 195 David’s adultery with Bath-Sheba. 9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them “in array against the Syrians: 10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in ar- ray against the children of Ammon. 11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt "help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 12" Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the "cities of our God : and the LORD's do that which seemeth him good. 13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians ; and they fled before him. 14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Sy- rians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the chil- dren of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. 15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smit- ten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. 16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river ; and they came to Helam: and P Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. 18 And the Syrians 4 fled before Israel; and David ‘slew the men of “seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and " forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there. 19 And when all the kings that were servants to Ha- darezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made ‘peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syri- ans 'feared to help the children of "Ammon any more. CHAPTER XI.

ND it came to pass, "after the year was expired, “at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all 1srael ; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David "tarried still at Jerusalem. 2 *| And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that David arose from off his “bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s David taketh house : and from the "roof he * saw a woman washing|| herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 3 And David & sent and inquired after the woman.

And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David demand- ed of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how He carrieth to Joab the letter of his 5 II.

So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow. - 13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him ; and he made him drunk : and at even ith the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 14 || And it came to pass in the morning, that David " wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him that he may be smitten, and die. 16. And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that Valiant men were. 17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab : and there fell some of the people of the servants of David ; and Uriah the Hittite died also. - 18 "| Then Joab sent and told David all the things con cerning the war; 19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou has y why then didst thou not go *|made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king, 20 And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say .92, unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight 4 knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall '! 21 Who smote “Abimelech the son of ‘Jerub-besheth? did not a woman casta piece of mill-stone upon him from the wall that he died in Thebez'ſ why went ye nigh the wall? Then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 22 || So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate. 24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants : and some of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing “ displease thee, for the sword devoureth “one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and " overthrow it . and encourage thou him. 26 ºf And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and * fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done dis- pleased the Lord. - CHAPTER XII. .Nathan’s parable of the ewe-lamb, causeth David to be his own judge, 1 David, reproved by Walham, conſesseth his sin, and is pardoned, 7 David mournelh and prayeth for the child, while it lived, Í5.

And he came unto him, and said unto him, "There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor. 2 The rich man had exceeding " many flocks and herds 3 But the poor man had nothing save one little ewe 196 Nathan’s parable of the ewe-lamb lamb, which he had brought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own “meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his * bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. t 4 And there came a “traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the way-faring man that was come unto him ; but took the poor man’s lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 5 And David’s anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, Jis the LORD liveth, the man}, that hath done this thing "shall surely die. 6 And he shall restore the lamb four-fold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity. 7 'ſ And Nathan said to David, * Thou art the man. Thus saith the LoRD God of Israel, " I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul ; 8 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy ‘bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would more- over have given unto thee such and such things. 9 Wherefore " hast thou despised the commandment of the LoRD, to do evil in his sight ! thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore the "sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold * I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst it secretly : but I will do this thing|| before all Israel, and before the sun. 13 And David said unto Nathan, I have P sinned against the LORD. Alid Nathan said unto David, The LoRD also hath “put “away thy sin; thou shalt " not die. 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord * to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 15 *| And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LoRD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16 David therefore ‘besought God for the child; and David “fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth. 17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, 9 to raise him up from the earth : but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice : how will he then vex himself, if|| we tell him that the child is dead 7 19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead And they said, He is dead. 20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and 3 "anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came intoſ; the ‘house of the Lord, and 3 worshipped : then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive ; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king ; for "he will not withhold me from thee. 14 Howbeit, he would not ‘ hearken unto her voice: but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. 15 || Then Amnon hated her “exceedingly ; so that the hatred where with he hated her was “greater than the love where with he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. 16 And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. 17 Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her. 18 And she had a garment' of divers colours upon her : for with such robes were the king’s daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her. 19 || And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and "laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. 20 And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath "Am- non thy brother been with thee but hold now thy peace,; my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. 21 *| But when king David heard of all these things, 7 he was very wroth. 22 And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither * good nor bad : for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. 23 || And it came to pass * after two full years, that p. Absalom had sheep-shearers in "Baal-hazor, which is be- side Ephraim : and Absalom invited all the king’s sons. 24 And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath “sheep-shearers: "let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant. 25 And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him ; howbeit he would not go, but blessed him. 26 Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let “my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee! 27 But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all ; the king’s sons go with him. 28 ºf Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon ; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you! be courageous, and be “valiant. . 29 And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king’s sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled. 30 *| And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king’s sons, and there is not one of them ieft. 31 Then the king arose, and * tare his garments and "lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent. 32 And 'Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king’s sons; for Amnon only II.

And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill-side behind him 35 And Jolladab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come : as thy servant said, so it is. 36 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that behold, the king’s sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept ; and the king also and all his servants ‘wept very sore. - 37 *| But Absalong fled, and went to "Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day. 38 So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years. 39 And the soul of king David “longed "to go fortn unto Absalom : for he " was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

Joab the son of “Zeruiah perceived that the * king’s heart was toward Absalom. 2 And Joab sent to “Tekoah, and fetched thence "a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and "anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead: 3 And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. 4 *| And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she 8 fell on her face to the ground, and " did obeisance. and said, Help, O king. 5 And the “king said unto her, What aileth thee ? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and my hus- band is dead. - 6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was “none to part them but the one smote the other, and slew him. 7 And behold, 'the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his bro- ther, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew ; and we will destroy the heir also : and so they shall "quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to 'my husband neither name nor remainder upon the carth. 8 And the king said unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge "concerning thee. 9 And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, “ the iniquity be on me, and on my father’s house : and the P king and his throne be guiltless. 10 And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more. 11 Then said she, I pray thee, let the king " remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the re- vengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, Jis the LORD liveth, there shall not * one hair of thy son fall to the earth. 12 Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on 13 And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou ‘ thought such a thing " against the people of God'ſ for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, * in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished. . °14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on 198 Absalom returneth. the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; “neither doth God “respect any person: yet doth he * devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him. 15 Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid : and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid. 16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God. 17 Then thy handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable : " for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king * to discern good and bad : there- fore the LoRD thy God will he with thee. 18 Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak., 19 And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee And the woman answered and said, ſls in all this 7 thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken : for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid : 20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing : and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth. 21 *| And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing : go therefore, bring the young man Ab- Salom again. 22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and " thanked the king : and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant. 23 So Joab arose and went to "Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 24 And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not “see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king’s face. 25 || But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty : * from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him. 26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at every. year’s end that he polled it ; because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it;) he weighed the hair of his head “at two hundred shekels" after the king’s ‘weight. P 27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was aſ: Woman of a fair countenance. 28 “I So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and * saw not the king's face. 29 Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him : and when he sent again the second time, he would not come. 30 Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab’s field', is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and 'set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire. 31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire 32 And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the II.

His conspiracy 33 So Joab came to the king, and told him : and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king "kissed Absalom. CHAPTER XV. Absalom, by fair speeches and courtesies, stealeth the hearts of Israel, 1. Under pretence of a vow, he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, 7. He maketh there a great conspiracy, 10. David upon the news fleeth from Jerusalem, 13. Ittai would not leave himn, 19. Zadok and Abiathar are sent back with the ark, 24. David and his company go up mount Olivet weeping, 30. He curselh Ahithophel's counsel, 31. Hushai is sent back with instructions, 32. ND it came to pass after this, that Absalom “prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him. 2 And Absalom "rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate : and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou ! And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 3 And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are “good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee. 4 Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were "made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and “I would do him justice 5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him and kissed him. 6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom 'stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 7 And it came to pass 5 after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and "pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron. 8 For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at ‘Ge- shur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will "serve the LoRD. 9 And the king said unto him, Go in peace. arose, and went to Hebron. 10 But Absalom 'sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trum So he § pet, then ye shall say, Absalom "reigneth in Hebron. 11 And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Je. rusalem, that were " called ; and they went in their "sim- plicity, and they knew not any thing. 12 And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, P Da- vid’s counsellor, from his city, even from " Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the " conspiracy was strong ; for the people * increased continually with Absalom. 13 *| And there came a messenger to David, saying, * The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom. 14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us "flee ; for we shall not else escape from Absalom ; make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 15 And the “king’s servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint. 16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women which were concu- bines to keep the house. 17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off. 18 And all his servants passed on beside him ; and all the * Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Git- tites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king. 19 || Then said the king to Ittai the “Gittite, Where fore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and 199 The ark carried to Jerusalem. abide with the king; for thou art a stranger, and also an exile. - 20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us ; seeing I go whither I may ; return thou, and take back thy brethren: ° mercy and truth be with thee. 21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, 'As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely “in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be. 22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the, little ones that were with him. 23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook "Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the “wilderness. * ſº 24 ºf And lo, Zadok also, and all the Levites were with nim, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God ; and Abiathar went up, * until all the people had done passing out of the city. 25 And the king said unto Zadok, "Carry back the ark; of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LoRD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation : 26 But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good “ unto him. 27 The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou “a seer'ſ return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar. 28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me. - 29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar' carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem : and they tarried there. 30 aſ And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head "covered, and he went "barefoot : and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up. & 31 And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, Q LoRD, I pray thee, "turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. 32 And it came to pass, that when David was come to the P top of the mount, where he "worshipped God, be- hold, Hushai the ' Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head : - 33 Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me : 34 But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absa-l lom, I will be thy servant, O king ; as I have been thy fa- ther’s servant "hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. 35 And hast ‘ thou not there with thee Zadok and Abia- thar the priests therefore it shall be, that what thing so- ever thou shalt hear out of the king’s house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. - 36 Behold, they have "there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son ; and by them ye shall send unto me everything that ye can hear. 37 So Hushai, David’s “friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

And Ziba said, “I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king. 5 And when king David came to 8 Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: " he came forth, and cursed still as he came. 6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the Gervants of king David : and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. 7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, “ thou bloody man, and thou man of ‘Belial : 8 The Lord hath "returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LoRD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Ab- salom thy son: and behold, thou art taken in thy mischief because thou art a bloody man. 9 * Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the a ch. 15. 30. b ch. 9. 2. c Prov. 18. 16. & 29.

OREOVER, Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me M now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David “this night: 2 And i will come upon him while he is "weary and weak-handed, and will make him afraid; and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will Smite the king only; 3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee; the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned ; so all the people shall be “in peace. 4 And the saying "pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. . - 5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us near likewise what he saith. 6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying 4 if not, speak thou. 7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is “not good at this time. 8 For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be “chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field : and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. , - 9 Behold, he is hid now in some * pit, or in some other place : and it will come to pass, when some" of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. || 10 And he also that is ‘valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly "melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. 11 Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba," as the sand that is by the sea for multitude ; and that ‘ thou go to “battle in thine own person. 12 So shall we come upon him in some place where heli shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew fall- eth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one. 13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring "ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small "stone found there. 14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the Lord had ‘appointed to defeat the "good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LoRD might bring evil upon Absalom. 15 " Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel ; and thus and thus have I counselled. 16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this might in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily ſpass over ; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him. - 17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz Pstayed by "En-rogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench; went and told them ; and they went and told king David. 18 Nevertheless, a lad saw them, and told Absalom : but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a f Heb.

And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem. 21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king Da- vid, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water : for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you. 22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan : by the morning light there "lacked not one of them that was not gone Over Jordan. - - 23 *| And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, " to his city, and “put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. 24 Then David came to * Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and “all the men of Israel with him. 25 *| And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host in- stead of Joab : which Amasa was a man’s son, whose name was Ithra, "an Israelite, that “went in to " Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab’s mother. 26 So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. 27 *| And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that “Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and "Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and & Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, 28 Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, #|and lentiles, and parched pulse, 29 And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine," for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat : for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.

ND David “numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hun- dreds over them. 2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of "Abi- shai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part un- der the hand of “ Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also. 3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth : for if we flee away, they will "not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art “Worth ten thousand of us : therefore now it is better that thou “succour us out of the city. - 4.And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the "gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands. 5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, * Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom. 6 || So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the "wood of Ephraim; 7 Where the people of Israel were slain before the ser 2 C 201 Absalom slain by Joab. wants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men. - 8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country : and the wood * devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. - 9 || And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his “head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth ; and the mule that was under him went away. 10 And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak. 11 And Joab said unto the man that told him, And be- hold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not Smite him there to the ground ! and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. - 12 And the man said unto Joab, Though I should re- ceive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king’s son : for in our; hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, say- ing, beware that none touch the young man Absalom. 13 Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own “life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have "set thyself against me. 14 Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the "heart of Absalom, while he was "yet alive in the 'midst of the oak. 15 And ten young men that bare Joab’s armour com- passed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. 16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.|3 17 And they took Absalom, and P cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great “heap of stones upon him ; and all Israel fled every one to his tent. 18 ° Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and reared up for himself a "pillar, which is in the king’s dale: for he said, I have "no son to keep my name in remembrance : and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's Place. 19 ºf Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath ‘avenged him of his enemies. 20 And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day : but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead. - 21 Then said Joab to Cushi, Go, tell the king what thou nast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. 22 Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready ? - 23 But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi. 24 And David sat between the “two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man run- ning alone. - 25 And the wa tehman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone there is tidings in his mouth... And he came apace, and drew near. - 26 And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold, another man running alone.

And Judah came to P Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan. 16 || And "Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of ' Bahurim, "hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David. - 17 And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and ‘Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his "fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him ; and they went over Jordan before the king. 18 And there went over a ferry-boat to carry over the king’s household, and to do “what he thought good.

And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay. 21 And she said, Let ‘Abishag the Shumammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 22 And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shumammite for Ado- nijah 'ſ ask for him "the kingdom also ; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for “Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah. - 23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life. 24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath es- tablished me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me * a house, as he "promis- ed, Adonijah shall be “put to death this day. 25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he “fell upon him that he died. 26 ºf And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art "worthy of death : but I will not "at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GoD be- fore David my father, and because thou hast “been afflict- ed in all wherein my father was afflicted. 27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest untolº the LORD ; that he might P fulfil the word of the Lord, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in 4 Shiloh. 28 ºf Then tidings came to Joab : (for Joab had turn- ed after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom;) and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LoRD, and caught hold on the "horns of the altar. * 29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LoRD ; and behold, he is by the altar.

Solomon made also a house “for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. - 9 All these were of "costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones; stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11 And “above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. t 12 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 LoRD, and for the porch of the house. 13 *| And king Solomon sent and 8 fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was "filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solo- mon, and wrought all his work. 15 For he “cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece : and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. - * 16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapi- ter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits ing to part of October, and part of JVovember. a Luke 14. 30 30. b verses 1, chap. 7. 1. a verse 48. chap. 9. 10.

And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house : and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south. 40 *| And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the "basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord : 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two net- works, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two net- works, even two rows of pomegranates for one net-work, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were 'upon the pillars; 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 And the "pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of bright brass. 46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the | clay-ground between "Succoth and * Zarthan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. 48 And Solomon made * all the vessels that pertainea unto the house of the Lord : " the altar of gold, and * the table of gold, whereupon the “shew-bread was, 49 And the candlesticks of "pure gold, "five on the right Side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flow ers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the “basins, and #|the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges *|of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy ºplace, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated: even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the Lord. - CHAPTER VIII. The feast of the dedication of the temple, 1. Solomon's blessing, 12, 55. . Solomon’s prayer, 22. His sacrifice of peace-offerings, 62. HEN Solomon “assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of |the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the "ark of the covenant of the LoRD out of the “city of David, which is Zion. 2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the "feast in the month Ethanim, which ts the seventh month. 3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the “priests took up the ark. 4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the * tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did & the priests and the Levites bring up. 5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the 3|ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, "that could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 6 And the ' priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LorºDunto “his place, into the oracle of the house, to the whost holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims. 7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the 'staves thereof above. 8 And they " drew out the staves, that the ends of the 213 . - Solomon's prayer at the staves were seen outin the "holy place before the Oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day. 9. There was " nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 3. 10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the P cloud " filled the house of the LORD, - -- 11 So that the priests could not stand to minister be- cause of the cloud: for the “glory of the LORD had filled; the house of the LORD. 12 || Then spake Solomon, The Lord said ‘that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 13 I have surely built "thee a house to dwell in, a set- tled place for thee to abide in for ever. 14 And the king turned his face about, and “blessed all the congregration of Israel : and all the congregation of i Israel stood ; 15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which * spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that “my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel. 17 And it was " in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 18 And the LoRD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou * didst well that it was in thy heart. 19 Nevertheless, " thou shalt not build the house ; but: thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name. 20 And the Lord hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LoRD “promised, and have built a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel. 21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the * covenant of the LoRD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 22 ºf And Solomon & stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread "forth his hands toward heaven: , 23 And he said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God | like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, whoſ: keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that “walk before thee with all their heart: 24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father º that thou promisedst him : thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day. 25 Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, say- ing, There shall 'not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on: the throne of Israel ; so that thy children take heed to before me. 26 And now, O God of Israel, letthy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thouspakestunto thy servant David my father. 27 But will God indeed "dwell on the earth behold the "heaven and heaven of heavens "cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded ! 28 Yet have thou respect unto the P prayer of thy ser- vant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to-day: , 29.

So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. 64 The same day did "the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD : for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive the burnt-offer- ings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings. 65 And at that time Solomon held "a feast, and all Is-ſº rael with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of F Hamath unto the " river of Egypt, before the LoRD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days. 66 On the “eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people 1.

A*. it came to pass, when Solomon had "finished the building of the house of the LoRD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's "desire which he was pleased to do, 2 That the LORD appeared to Solomon the * second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 3 And the Lord said unto him, I have "heard thy pray- er and thy supplication that thou hast made before me : I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever ; and “mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 4 And if thou wilt walk" before me, as David thy father walked, ° in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will keep my statutes and my judgments: 5 Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, "as I promised to David thy father, say- Jing, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 6 But if ye shall at all ‘turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them : 7 Then will I “cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them ; and ' this house which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be "a proverb and a by-word among all people: 8 And at this house, which is high, every one that pass- eth by it shall be "astonished, and shall "hiss; and they shall say, "Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, |and to this house ! 9 And " they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them : "therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil. 10 || And it came to pass " at the end of twenty years, When Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the ‘king’s house, 11 (JNow Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solo- mon with cedar-trees and fir-trees, and with gold, accord- ing to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. - 12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they “pleased him not. 13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, "my brother ?

So he finished the house. 26 || And king Solomon made a navy of ships in " Ezion- geber, which is beside ‘Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom. 27 And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of So- lomon. 28 And they came to "Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, ‘four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon. - * CHAPTER X.

Solomon's wives and concubines the house of the LoRD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day. 13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba 'all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servanis. 14 || Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six "talents of gold, 15 Besides that he had of the “merchantmen, and of the traffic of the spice-merchants, and of all the kings ‘of Arabia, and of the governors of the country. 16 °. And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold; six hundredshekels of gold went to one target. 17 And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of 9 Lebanon. - 18 "I Moreover, the king made a great ‘throne of “ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold. 19 The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind ; and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays. 20 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom. 21 || And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Le- banon were of ſpure gold; none were of silver : it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 22 For the king had at sea a navy of “Tarshish with the navy of Hiram : once in three years came the navy of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and * apes, and peacocks. 23 So king Solomon "exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 24 *| And * all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 25 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate "year by year. 26 ºf And Solomon * gathered together chariots, and horsemen ; and he had a f thousand and four hundred cha riots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem. 27 And the king made $ silver to be in Jerusalem as "stones, and cedars made he to be as the ‘sycamore-trees that are in the vale, for abundance. 28." And Solomon had “horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn : the king’s merchants received the 'liner yarn at a price. 29 And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt fol six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred ano fifty : and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.

UT king Solomon “loved "many strange women, to- gether with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 2 Of the nations concerning which the LoRD “ said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you : for surely they will "turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love. 3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives “turned away his heart. 2I 6 \ Solomon's adversaries. 4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was “old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6 And Solomon did evil" in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LoRD, as did David his father. 7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. 9 || And the LoRD was angry with Solomon, because: & his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him "twice, 10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded. 11 Wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant. 12 Notwithstanding, in thy days I will not do it *for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. - 13. Howbeit, I will not rend away all the kingdom ; but will give 'one tribe to thy son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen. 14 ºf And the " LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solo-. mon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seedin Edom. 15 For it came to pass, when David was in " Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain,; after he had smitten "every male in Edom ; 16 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom : 17 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his fa- ther’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little P child. 18 And they arose out of 4 Midian, and came to Paran : and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him a house, and appointed him "victuals, and gave him land. 19 And Hadad found ‘great favour in the sight of Pha- raoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own||4 wife, the sister of Tahpenes the “queen. 20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house : and 1.

And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto "Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. 41 *| And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the "book of the acts of Solomon " 42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was "forty years. 43 And Solomon " slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father ; and * Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. t - CHAPTER XII.

And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Re- hoboam, saying, 4 Thy father made our yoke "grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. 5 And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed. 6 || And king Rehoboam “consulted with the 'old men that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people 4 7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be “a servant unto" this people this day, and wiit serve them, and answer them, and speak ‘good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever. 8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the “ young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him : 9 And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, say- ing, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter! 10 And the young men that were grown up with him? spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this; people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shall inou say unto them, "My little finger shall be thicker than my father’s loins. - ſº 11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chas- tised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Reho- boam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying,|. Come to me again the third day. 13 And the king answered the people “roughly, and for- sook the old men’s counsel that they gave him ; 14 And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and "I will add to your yoke : my father, also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people: for the * cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LoRD spake by ‘Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 16 || So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David 4 neither have we inherit- ance in the * son of Jesse: to your “tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. 17 But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the P cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 18 Then king Rehoboam sent " Adoram, who was over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam “made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day. - 20 And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Je- roboam was come again, that they "sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only. 21 ºf And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Ben- jamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were "warriors, to fight against the house of b ch. 11. 40. i, IXINGS.

They heark- ened therefore to the word of the Lord, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LoRD. - 25 °. Then Jeroboam built"Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein ; and went out from thence, and built * Penuel. . 26 And Jeroboam ‘said in his heart, Now shall the king- dom return to the house of David. 27 If this people go up to do "sacrifice in the house of the LoRD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill “me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 28 Whereupon the king * took counsel, and made & two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is "too much for you to go up to Jerusalem : behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 29 And he set the one in 'Beth-el, and the other put he in " Dan. 30 And this thing became a 'sin : for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 31 And he made "a house of high places, and made 'priests of the lowest of " the people, which were "not of the sons of Levi. 32 And Jeroboam ordained Pa feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is * in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made : and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made. 33 So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Beth-el the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had “devised of his own heart ; and or- |dained a feast unto the children of Israel; and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

But Ahijah could not see ; for his eyes" were set by reason of his age. 5 *| And * the LoRD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her : for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman. 6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou "wife of Jeroboam ; why feignest thou thyself to be another 4 for I am sent to thee with ‘heavy tidings. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LoRD God of Is. rael, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the peo- ple, and made thee prince over my people Israel, 8 And 'rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as my ser- vant David, who kept my commandments, and who fol- lowed me with all his heart, to do that "only which was right in mine eyes; - - 9 But hast done evil "above all that were before thee : for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast “cast me be- hind thy back: 10 Therefore behold, PI will bring evil upon the “house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that 219 Abijah, Jeroboam, and Rehoboam's death. ‘pisseth against the wall, and him that is 'shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house:Isam E. of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all. c. 11 | O.) 62 s l)t. 32. 36. • * * * * 2 Kings 14. 11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the " dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat : for the Lord hath spoken it. 12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house : and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die. 13 And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him : for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found 3 some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam. 14 Moreover, the Lord shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day : but what " ' even now. - 15 For the LoRD shall smite “Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall "root up Israel out of this “good; land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the "river, because they have made their; groves, provoking the LORD to anger. 16 And he shall “give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did 'sin, and who 8 made Israel to sin. 17 || And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to "Tirzah ; and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died : 18 And they buried him ; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet. 19 And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers; and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 21 ºf And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah.

In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah. 24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, own- er of the hill, "Samaria. 25 || But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LoRD, and * did worse than all that were before him. 26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and ' in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LoRD God of Israel to anger with their Vanities. 27 Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and * his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel 4 3. - 221 Elijah sent to Zarephath 28 so Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria : and Ahab his son reigned in his stead. 29 || And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel : and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD “above all that were before him. 31 And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the "Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. 32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the "house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. - 33 And Ahab made "a grove ; and Ahab P did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. 34 iſ In his days did Hiel the Beth-elite build "Jericho;; he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, ac- cording to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun. - CHAPTER XVII.

And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so. 26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up “to Aphek, to fight against Israel. - 27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them : and the chil- dren of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country. 28 And there came * a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, "Be- cause the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I de- liver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined : and the children of Israel slew of the Sy- rians “a hundred thousand footmen in one day. 30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, ‘into an inner chamber. -- - 31 *| And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are mer- ciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life. 32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, * Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive 4 he is my brother. 33 Now the men did diligently observe whether anything would come from him, and did hastily catch it : and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot. 34 And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from "thy father, I will restore; and thou shaft make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away. 35 || And a certain man of the "sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man P reſused to 'smite him. 36 Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed " the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, " a lion shall slay thee. And as Soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him. - r 37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. . And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him. 38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and * disguised himself with ashes upon his face. 39. And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king : and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle ; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man : if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else; thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, "So shall thy judgment be ; thyself hast decided it. 41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets. 42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because I.

And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread. 5 *|| But Jezebel ‘ his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread Î 6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it : and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. - 7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now * govern the kingdom of Israel'ſ arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry : I will give "thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the “elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim "a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people : 10 And set "two men, sons * of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst “blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him * out, and P stone him, that he may die. 11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the no- bles who were the inhabitants in his city, * did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him ; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and 'stoned him with stones, that he died. 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead. *- 15 ºf And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that *|Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, * take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money : for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 16 °ſ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Na- both was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it. 17 | And the ‘word of the Lord came to " Elijah the Tishbite, saying 2 F 225 Ahab seduced by false prophets. 18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria : behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it. º 19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord, * Hast thou killed, and also taken possession ?

And he said, "I will go up : I am as thou art, my people as thy people and my horses as thy horses. 8 And he said, Which way shall we go up 7 And he an swered, The way through the "wilderness of Edom. 9 So the king of Israel went, and the "king of Judah and the king of Edom ; and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey : and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle “ that followed them. 10 And the king of Israel said, Alas, that P the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them. into the hand of Moab - 228 The Moabites overcome. 11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a “prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the LORD by him ; And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 12 And Jehoshaphat said, ' The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom *went down to him. 13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, “What have I to do with thee get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LoRD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab. 14 And Elisha said, “..As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that " I regard the pre- sence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, " I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 15 But now bring me * a minstrel.

And he departed, and took “with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ' ten changes of raiment. 6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, say- ing, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am. “I God, 'to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy % Wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh "a quarrel against me. 8 *| And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes º let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a “prophet in Israel. 9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and P stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent " a messenger unto him, saying, Go and "wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be 'clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and "strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Jīre not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, bet- ter than all the waters of Israel'ſ may I not wash in them, and be clean'ſ So he turned and went away in a rage. 13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it 2 how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and |his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15 *| And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him : and he said, Behold, now I know that there is “no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take "a blessing of thy servant. 16 But he said, Jis the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will “receive none. And he urged him to take it ; but he refused. 17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth 1 for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord. 18 In this thing the Lord pardon thy servant, that "when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship 230 Elisha causeth iron to swim. there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon : when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. 19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way. 20 " But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought : but II.

Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was a sore troubled for this thing ; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel '! 12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tellêth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy 'bed-chamber. , 13 And he said, Go, and * spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is 'in Dothan. 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and "a great host: and they came by night, and "compassed the city about. - 15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host compassed the city boin with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master how shall we do 16 And he answered, °Fear not : for they that be P with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha " prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw : and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with "blindness, ac- cording to the word of Elisha. - . 19 || And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city : follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria. 20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Sa- maria, that Elisha said, Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Loſ D opened their eyes, and they saw ; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria. 21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, ‘My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them? 22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them : would- est thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow "set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. 23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria * came no more into the land of Israel. 24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and be- hold, they besieged it, until an “ass’s head was sold for * fourscore pieces of silver, and ſthe fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. 26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king. 27 And he said, “If the LoRD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee! out of the barn-floor, or out of the wine- press'ſ 28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee! And "she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow. 29 So we "boiled my son, and did eat him : and I said 1&unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him : and she hath hid her son. 30 " And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he * rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and be- hold, he had “sackcloth within upon his flesh. 31 Then he said, “God do so and more also to me, if 231 Elisha prophesteth plenty wri Samarta. the ſhead of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day. º 32 But Elisha & sat in his house, and the elders sat with him ; and the king sent "a man from before him : but ere the messenger came to him, ‘he said to the elders, See ye how this son of “a murderer hath sent to take away my head look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door ; is not the 'sound of his master’s feet behind him '' 33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messen- ger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LoRD ; what should I "wait for the LORD any longer ? CHAPTER VII. Elisha prophesieth incredible plenty in Samaria, I. The wºnbelieving lord, having the charge of the gate, is trodden to death by the people, 17. HEN Elisha “ said, Hear ye the word of the Lord ; Thus saith the Lord, "To-morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a “shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. 2 Then a lord on whose hand the king "leaned an- swered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make “windows in heaven, might ‘ this thing be And he said, Behold, thou shalt & see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. . 3 || And there were four leprous men " at the entering in of the gate : and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die 'l 4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then the fa- mine is in the city, and we shall die there: and * if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians : if they save us alive, we shall live ; and if they kill us, we shall but die. 5 And they rose up in the 'twilight to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there. 6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians " to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host : and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the * Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 7 Wherefore they arose and "fled in the twilight, and ſeft their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. - 8 And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and "hid it : and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it. 9 Then they said “one to another, We do not well : this day is " a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace : if we tarry till the morning-light, some "mischief will come upon us ; now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household. 10 So they came and called unto the porter of the city : and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were. 11, And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within. 12 *| And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore ture they gone out of the camp, to hide thermselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city. 13 And "one of his servants answered and said, Let Some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, H.

CHAPTER X. - Saul's overthrow and death, 2. The Philistines triumph over Saul, 8 The kindness of Jabesh-gilead towards Saul and his sons, 11. Saul’s sin, for which the kingdom was translated from him to David, 13. OW the “Philistines fought against Israel; and the Y men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa. 2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Philistines slew "Jonathan, and Abina- dab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul. 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the * ar- chers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. - 4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through there with, lest these uncircumcised come and “abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not ; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. 5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. 6 So Saul died, and his “three sons, and * all his house died together. - 7 And when all the men of Israel that were in the 8 val- ley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled; and the Phi- listines came and dwelt in them. - 8 *; And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. - 9 And when they had "stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people. 10. And they put his army in the house of their “gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon. 11 *| And when all 'Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Sau}, 12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, | 13 *|| So Saul died for his transgression which he com- mitted against the LORD, even against " the word of the LoRD, which he kept not, and also for "asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of iſ ; 14 And "inquired not of the Lo RD : therefore he P slew him, and 4 turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. CHA PTER XI. David by a general consent is made king at Hebron, 1 : He winneth the castle of Zion from the Jebusites by Joab's valour, 4. A catalogue of David’s mighty men, 10. - HEN “all Israel "gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2 And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Is- §rael: and the LoRD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt |“feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel. 3 Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron ; and David made a covenant with them in Heb- ron before the LoRD ; and they “anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LoRD by Samuel. 4 *| And " David and all israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 253 A catalogue of 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. - 6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joao the * son of Zeruiah went "first up, and was chief. 7 And David dwelt in the castle ; therefore they called it, The city of David. - 8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about ; and Joab repaired the rest of the city. 9 So David waxed greater and greater : for the LORD of hosts was “with him. 10 || These also are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, and with all Israel, to make him king 'accord- mg to the word of the Lorp concerning Israel. 11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had ; Jashobeam a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against "three hundred slain by him at one time. 12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the "Ahohite, who was one of the "three mighties. Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people "fled from before the Philistines. 14 And they "set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines ; and the LORD 'saved them by a great deliverance. 15 "I Now three of the thirty captains “went down to the rock to David, into the cave of "Adullam ; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim. 16 And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines’ * garrison was then at Beth-lehem. 17 And David longed, and said, “Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, that is at the gate | - - 18 And the three 3 brake through the host of the Philis- times, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David : but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to the LORD, 19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing : shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy ? for “with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest. J 20 *| And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of * the three : for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and “had a name among the three. 21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain : howbeit he attained not unto * the first three. . 22 * Benaiah the son of Jehoia da, the son of a valiant man of “ Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew * two lion-like men of Moab; also he went down and slewlā'ī; a lion in a pit in a snowy day. 23 And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, * five cubits high ; and in the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam ; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and slew him with ' his own spear. 24 These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among the three & mighties. 25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but attained not to the first three : and David set him over his guard. 26 ºf Also the valiant men of the armies were, * Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanantheson of Dodo of Beth-lehem, I.

David's joy on that occasion. 13 For because ye * did it not at the first, the LoRD our God made P a breach upon us, for that we sought him not * after the due order. 14 So the priests and the Levites "sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LoRD God of Israel. 15 And the children of the * Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the LORD. 16 And David spake to the chief of the Levites to ap- point their brethren to be the "singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 17 So the Levites appointed * Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah ; 18 And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Matti- thiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikheiah, and Obed-edom, and 'Jeiel, the porters. 19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were ap pointed to sound with cymbals of brass; 20 And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on “Alamoth ; 21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the * Sheminith to excel. 22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was "for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skilful. 23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark. - 24 And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the ºr priests, did blow with the "trumpets before the ark of rº-FGod: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for. gº the ark. º - º 25 | So David and the elders of Israel, and the cap- The to ord signifieth virgins, PS. 68. 20.

David’s prayer and thanksgiving, 16. OW it came to pass, as David sat in his “house, that David said to Nathan " the prophet, Lo, “I dwell in a house of cedars, but the "ark of the covenant of the LoRD remaineth under curtains. 2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do “all that is in thy OUIS6 2, heart; for ‘God is with thee. 3 *| And it 8 came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LoRD, Thou "shalt not build me a house to dwell in : 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day: but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the * judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars 7 7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the ‘Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, even from " following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: 8 And " I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have “cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth. 9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more ; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them P any more, " as at the º; 10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover, I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore, I tell thee that the * LoRD will build thee a house. 11 || And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must “go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed "after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish “his kingdom. 12 He 3 shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne * for ever. 13 I will be his “father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee: 2K 257 The victories of David. 14 But I will settle him in "my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for “evermore. 15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 16 || And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, "Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto 4 17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast “regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. , 18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for ‘ thou knowest thy servant. . 19 O Lord, for thy & servant’s sake, and "according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things. - 20 O Lord, there is ‘none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have “heard with our ears. 21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God "went to redeem, to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Fgypt'ſ 22 For thy people Israel didst thou make "thine own people for ever; and thou, LoRD, becamest their God. 23 Therefore now, Lord, ° let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as thou hast said. 24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee. 25 For thou, º O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him a house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. 26 And now, LoRD, thou art God, and hast 4 promised this goodness unto thy servant: - 27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.

And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, “to comfort him. 3 But the princes of the children of Ammon said to ** |Hanun, “Thinkest thou that David.doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee are not his ser- vants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow. and to spy out the land 1 - - 4. Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and 8 shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their * buttocks, and sent them away. - 5 Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them : for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at "Je- richo until your beards be grown, and then return. 6 *| And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves * odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. 7 So they hired “thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, who came and pitched before 'Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle. 8 And when David heard of it, he sent "Joab, and all the host of the "mighty men. 9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the " city: and P the kings that were come were by themselves in the field. 10 Now when Joab saw that the “battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians. 11 And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of " Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon. 12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, 258 Rabbah besieged and taken. then thou shalt “help me : but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee. 13 * Be of good courage, and "let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God : and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight. 14 So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him. 15 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syri- answere fled, they likewise 'fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem. 16 || And when the Syrians saw that they were “put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and "Sho- phach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. 17 And it was told David ; and he gathered all Israel, and * passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the bat- tle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him. 18 But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in cha- riots, and 3 forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host. 19 And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace? with David, and became his * servants : neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon “any more.

David numbereth the people. 2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the peo- ple, GQ, number Israel from “Beer-sheba even to Dan ; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it. 3 And Joab answered, The Lord “make his people a hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants why then doth my lord require this thing why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel '! 2 4 "Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab Wherefore Joab departed, and went “ throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 5 *| And Joab gave the sum of the number of the peo- ple unto David. And all they of Israel were * a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew Sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword. 6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them : for the king’s word was 8 abominable to Joab. 7 And God was displeased with this thing, therefore he "smote Israel. 8 And David said unto God, I have 'sinned greatly, be- cause I have done this thing : but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 9 || And the LoRD spake unto Gad, David’s “seer, saying, 10 Go and tell David, saying, 'Thus saith the Lond, I offer thee three things ; "choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 11 So Gad "came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Choose thee 12 Either three years’ ” famine; or three months to P be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me. - 13 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the Lord ; for "very great are his mercies: but let me 4 not fall into the hand of man. 14 *| So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel 'seventy thousand men. 15 And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it : and as he was destroying, the Lord beheld, and he * repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that de- stroyed, It is enough, stay now thy hand. And the angel of the LoRD stood by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. - 16 And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the Lord stand between the earth and the heaven, having 'a drawn sword in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were "clothed in sackcloth, ‘fell upon their faces. 17 And David said unto God, Is it not I that command- ed the people to be numbered 4 even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed ; but as for these sheep, what have they done let thy hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued. 18 "| Then the * angel of the Lord commanded "Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the Lord in the threshing-floor of Orman the . Jebusite. 19 And David went up at "the saying of Gad, which he Spake in the name of the LoRD. 20 And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him “hid themselves. Now Ornan was "threshing wheat. 21 And as David came to Orman, Orman looked, and 259 David prepareth for the temple. • saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and f bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. 22 Then David said to Ornan, ‘ Grant me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LoRD : thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people. -- 23 And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt-offerings, and the “thresh- ing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat- offering ; I give it all.

HEN David said, “This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar of the burnt-offering for Israel. 2 And David commanded to gather together the "strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God. 3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance “without weight ; . 4 Also cedar-trees in abundance : for the "Zidonians and they “ of Tyre brought much cedar-wood to David. 5 And David said, ‘Solomon my son is “ young and ten- der, and the house that is to be builded for the Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory" throughout all countries : I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death. 6 * Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build ‘a house for the LoRD God of Israel. 7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in “my mind to build a house unto the name of the LoRD || 'my God. 8 But the "word of the LoRD came to me, saying, "Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made "great wars: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 9 Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who 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 unto Israel in his days. 10 * He shall build a house for my name ; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. n Ex. 36. 8. o Ex. 38. 1. p l Kgs.3.4. qPs. 119.190.

O when David was “old and full of days, he "made So- lomon his son king over Israel. 2 *| And he “gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites. 3 Now the Levites were numbered from the age of * thirty years and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand. 4 Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set for ward the work of the house of the LORD ; and six thou sand were * officers and judges: 5 Moreover, four thousand were porters; and four thou- ..sand "praised the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith. . 6 And David & divided them into “courses among the sons of Levi, namely, "Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 7 *|| Of the Gershonites were "Laadan and Shimei. 8 The * sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Ze- tham, and Joel, three. 9 The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Ha. ran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan. 10 And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei. 11 And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second : but Jeush and Beriah “had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father’s house. 12 * The sons of Kohath ; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four. 13 The sons of " Amram ; Aaron and Moses : and " Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify “the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense be- fore the Lord, to minister unto him, and * to bless in his name for ever. 14 Now concerning Moses the Prman of God, ‘ his sons were named of the tribe of Levi. - 15 The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer. 16 Of the ' sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief. 17 And the sons of " Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief 260 The order of the priests. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Reha- biah ‘were very many. 18 Of the sons of Izhar ; " Shelomith the chief. 19 Of the sons of Hebron ; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth. 20 Of the sons of Uzziel ; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second. 21 || “The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish. - 22 And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish * took them. 23 The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jere- moth, three. 24 || These were the sons of * Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the "work for the service of the house of the Lord, from the age of * twenty years and upward. 25 For David said, The Lord God of Israel hath given "rest unto his people, that they may dwell “in Jerusalem for ever ; - w 26 And also unto the Levites: they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof. 27 For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above : 28 Because / their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the 8 service of the house of the Lord, in the "courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God; The 29 Both for the ‘shew-bread, and for the “fine flour for; meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size ; 30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise " at even ; - 31 And to offer all "burnt-sacrifices unto the LoRD inf the sabbaths, in the "new-moons, and on the set P feasts, by number, according to the order commanded unto them, continually before the Lord : 32 And that they should keep the " charge of the ta- bernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LoRD.

OW these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. * The sons of Aaron ; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 2. But " Nadab and Abihu died “ before their father, and had “no children : therefore Eleazar and Ithamar exe- cuted the priest’s office. 3 And David distributed them, both * Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, ac- cording to their 8 offices in their service. 4 And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers. 5 Thus were they divided "by lot, one sort with another;|g for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar. . 6 And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the * scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the 'son of Abia- thar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and I.

Even the weight for the " candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick, and also for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick. 16 And by weight he gave gold for the tables of “shew-lºs bread, for every table; and likewise silver for the tables of silver : 17 Also pure gold for the flesh-hooks, and the bowls, and the cups : and for the 8 golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; and likewise silver by weight for every basin of silver : 18 And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the " chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD. 19 All this, said David, the LoRD made me understand * in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern. ~. 20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong, and of good courage, and do it : fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not “fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD. 21 And behold, the * courses of the priests and the Le- vites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God : and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service ; also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

Solomon the son of David “was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LoRD his God was " with him, * and magnified him exceedingly. 2 Then Solomon "spake unto all Israel, to the captains. of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 3 So Solomon, and ail the congregation with him, went to the “high place that was at Gibeon ; for there was the * tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LoRD had made in the wilderness. 4 But the ark of God had David brought up from * Kir- jath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 5 Moreover, the "brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the taberna- cle of the LoRD : and Solomon and the congregation 'sought unto it. - 6 And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar * be- fore the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the con- gregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it. 7 * In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign "in his stead. 9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my|...}. father be established: for thou hast made me king over a. people like the dust of the earth in "multitude. 10 * Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may: "go out and come in before this people: for who can!. *judge this thy people, that is so great 11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king : - 12 * Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as; none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 13 * Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and “reigned over Israel. 14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen : and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and B.

CHAPTER II. Solomon’s labourers * the building of the temple, 1, 17. His ambassage to Huram for workmen and provision of stuff, 3. Huram sendeth him a kind answer, 11. ND Solomon determined to build a house for the *name of the LoRD, and a house "for his kingdom. 2 And Solomon told out threescore and “ ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the "mountain, and “three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. . 3 *| And Solomon sent to * Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. - 4 Behold, I build a house to the name of the LoRD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet sincense, and for the "continual shew-bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new-moons, and on the solemn feasts of the §3. LoRD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 5 And the house which I build is great : for great is our God above all gods. * 6 But “who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and 'heaven of heavens cannot contain him who am I then that I should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice before him 'l - 7 Send me now therefore "a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill " to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jeru- salem, whom David my father did " provide. 8 Send me also P cedar-trees, fir-trees, and " algum. trees out of Lebanon: (for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon;) and behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance : for the house which I am about to build shall be “wonderful great 2 L 265 The time of building the temple. 10 And behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand * measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand * baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. º 11 * Then Huram the king of Tyre “answered in writ- ing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LoRD hath “loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of of Israel, that " made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, “endued with prudence and understanding, that might build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom. 13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of “ Huram my father’s, 14 The 3 son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in pur- ple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father. 15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants; 16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to * Joppa ; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. Ł7 ºf And Solomon numbered all the * strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering where with David his father had numbered them ; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. 18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be "bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hew- ers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a-work. CHAPTER III. The place and time of building the temple, 1. The measure and orna- ments of the house, 3. The cherubims, 11. HEN Solomon * began to build the house of the LoRD at Jerusalem in mount " Moriah, where the LORD * appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of "Ornan the Je- busite. 2 And he began to build in the * second day of the se- cond month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3 *| Now these are the things wherein Solomon was * instructed for the building of the house of God. The * length by cubits after the 8 first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 4 And the "porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was a hundred and twenty : and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 5 And the 'greater house he ceiled with * fir-tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm- trees and chains. 6, And he garnished, the house with "precious stones: for beauty: and the gold was gold of "Parvaim. 7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved “cherubins on the walls. 8 And he made * the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twen- ty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

CHAPTER IV. The altar of brass, 1. The molten sea upon twelve ozen, 2. The ten lavers, candlesticks, and tables, 6. The courts, and the instruments of brass, 9. The instruments of gold, 19. OREOWER he made an “altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and " ten cubits the height thereof. 2 *|| Also he made a * molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, roundin compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 3 And under it was the similitude of “oxen, which did compass it round about : ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three look- ing toward the south, and three looking toward the east : and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5 And the thickness of it was a hand-breadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies ; and it received and held “three thousand baths. 6 *| He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them : such things as they offered for the burnt-offering they “washed in them ; but the sea was for the "priests to wash in. 7 And he made ten ‘ candlesticks of gold according to their “form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold. 9 *. Furthermore he made * the court of the priests, is and the "great court, and doors for the court, and over- #|laid the doors of them with "brass. 10 And he set the P sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south. 1 f And "Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; 10or 12.45. 13 And four hundred "pomegranates on the two wreaths; 266. The solemn induction of the ark two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars. 14. He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16 The ‘pots also, and the shovels, and the "flesh-hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LoRD, of bright brass. 17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abun- dance: for the weight of the brass could "not be found out. 19 "| And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the “golden altar also, and the tables whereon the she w-bread was set ; 20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before * the oracle, of pure gold; * 21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that “perfect gold ; - 22 And the * snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold : and the "entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place,; and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold. CHAPTER V. - The dedicated treasures, 1. The solemn induction of the ark into the oracle, 2. God being praised, giveth a visible sign of his favour, 11. HUS all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished : and Solomon brought in all the “things that David his father had dedicated ; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 2 * Then Solomon “assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the *ark of the covenant of the LoRD out of the city of David, which is Zion. - - 3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the “seventh month. 4 And all the elders of Israel came ; and the "Levites took up the ark. 5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the "holy vessels that were in the: tabernacle, these did the “priests and the Levites bring up. 6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed ‘sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LoRD unto his place, to the * oracle of the house, into the "most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims : 8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark, and the ‘staves thereof above. 9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the “ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 10 There was 'nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at "Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 11 *| And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the "holy place: (for all the priests that were present were "sanctified, and did not then P wait by course : 12 Also the Levites which were the "singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren ; being ' arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, II.

L 5 And king Solomon offered ‘a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests & waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of music of the Lord, which David the king had made to praise the LoRD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the "priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel ‘stood. 7 Moreover Solomon “hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LoRD : for there he offered burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt-offerings, and the meat- offerings, and the fat. 8 * Also at the same time Solomon kept 'the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of "Hamath unto the "river of Egypt. 9 And in the eighth day they made a “solemn assem- bly: for they kept the "dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 10 And on the "three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and 268 Solomon's buildings. merry in heart for the goodness that the LoRD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his Cople. p } Thus Solomon "finished the house of the LoRD, and the king's house : and all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 12 || And the LoRD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have "chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I } command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pes- tilence among my people ; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall * humble themselves, and “pray, and "seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from hea- ven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now "mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears at- tent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 16 For now have I “chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. 17 And as for thee, if thou wilt" walk before me, as Da- vid thy father walked, and do according to all that I have * commanded thee, and shall observe my statutes and my judgments : 18 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom ac- cording as I have covenant ith David thy father, say- ing, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 19 " But if ye ‘turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which i have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them ; 20. Then will I “pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them ; and this house, which I have sanctified for my mame, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a by-word among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonish- ment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, ed w 'Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unio; this house 4 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook theſ; LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out: of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and wor- Shipped them, and served them : " therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

So the house of the Lord was perfected. 17 || Then went Solomon to * Ezion-geber, and to * Eloth, at the sea-side in the land of Edom. 18 And "Huram sent him by the hands of his servants, ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence “four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and & brought them to king Solomon, CHA PTER IX.

So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants. - 13 * Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold ; - - 14 Besides that which chapmen and merchants brought. And * all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold : P six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target. - 16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold : three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest " of Lebanon. 17 || Moreover, the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a foot- stool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting-place, and two lions standing by the stays: - 19 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom. 20 " And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold : none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the ser- vants of Huram : every three years" once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 22 And king Solomon * passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. - 23 And all the kings of the earth sought the ‘pre- sence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 24 And they brought every man his present, vessels: of silver, and Vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 25 ºf And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and "chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Je- rusalem. 26 And he reigned over all the kings from the y river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. - 27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and ceday-trees made he as the sycamore-trees that are in the low plains in abundance. king ‘a hundred and twenty talents| II.

So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 4 Thy father made our yoke “grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 5 And he said unto them, ‘Come again unto me after three days.

The reign and death of Rehoboam, 13 A” it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had “strengthened himself, he " forsook the law of the LoBD, and “all Israel with him. 2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Re- hoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusa- lem, "because they had transgressed against the LoRD, 3 With twelve hundred “chariots, and threescore thou- Sand horsemen ; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Suk- kiims, and the Ethiopians. 4 And he took the 8 fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 5 * Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Ye have " forsaken me, and there- fore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 6. Whereupon the princes of Israel, and the king ‘hum- bled themselves; and they said, “The Lord is righteous. 7 And when the LoRD 'saw that they humbled them- selves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will "not de- stroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance ; and my wrath "shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know * my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 9 So "Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusa- lem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LoRD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 10 Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 11 And when the king entered into the house of the LoRD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard-chamber. 12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LoRD turned from him, that he would not destroy him al- together : " and also in Judah things went well. 13 *| So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jeru- salem, and reigned : for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seven- teen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LoRD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his "name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess. c 14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to “seek the LORD. 15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they |not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies 1 And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 16 And Rehoboam *slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 3 And Abijah “set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even "four hundred thousand chosen men. Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 4 * And Abijah “stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Je- roboam, and all Israel; 5 Ought ye not to know that the Loºp God of Israel & gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by "a covenant of salt 4 6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solo- mon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 7 And there are gathered unto him “vain men, the chil- dren of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was "young and "tender-hearted, and could notwithstand them. 8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LoRD in the hand of the sons of David ; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you “golden calves, which Jeroboam " made you for gods. 9 Have ye not * cast out the priests of the LoRD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands ! so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and * seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 10 But as ‘for us, the Lord is "our God, and we have not forsaken him ; and the priests, which minister unto the Lord, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 11 And they “burn unto the LoRD every morning and every evening burnt-sacrifices and sweet incense: the shew-bread also set they in order upon the pure table ; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof to burn every evening : for we keep the charge of the LoRD our God; but ye have forsaken him. 12 And behold, God himself is with us for our Y captain, and his “priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the Lord God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 13 *|| But Jeroboam caused an * armbushment to come about behind them : so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. - 14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind ; and they "cried unto the LoRD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout ; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that “ God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah : and God "delivered them into their hand. 17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel “five hundred thousand chosen men. - 18 Thus the children of Israel were * brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the Lord God of their fathers. 19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, & Beth-el with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with the towns thereof. 20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah ; and the LoRD "struck him, and he died. 21 " But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begattwenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. b ch.

O Abijah “ slept with his fathers, and they buried him J in the city of David : and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet" ten years. 2 And Asa did that which was “good and right in the eyes of the LoRD his God: 3 For he took away the "altars of the strange gods, and the “high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves : 4 And commanded Judah to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images ; and the kingdom was 5 quiet before him. . 6 *| And he built fenced cities in Judah : for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because "the LORD had given him rest. 7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while 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 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and " drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of Valour. 9 || And there came out against them Zerah the Ethio- pian, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hun- dred chariots; and came unto * Mareshah. 10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of 'Zephathah at Mareshah. ll And Asa "cried unto the LoRD his God, and said, LoRD, it is "nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Lord our God; for we rest on thee, and "in thy name we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God ; let not man prevail " against thee. 12 So the " LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah ; and the Ethiopians fled. 13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the Lord, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil. 14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the 'fear of the LoRD came upor, them : and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. 15 They smote also the ‘tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camelsin abundance, and returned to "Jerusalem e CHAPTER XV.

CHAPTER XVIII. Jehoshaphat, joined in affinity with Ahab, is persuaded to go with him against Ramoth-gilead, I. Ahab seduced by false prophets, according to the word of JMicaiah, is slain there, 4. - PNTOW Jehoshaphat had “riches and honour in abun- - dance, and "joined affinity with Ahab. - & 2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to “Ramoth-gilead. 3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead And he answered him, “I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. A And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, ‘ In- quire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to-day. . 5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of pro- phets & four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear ! And they said, Go up; "for God will deliver it into the king’s hand. e ch, 19. 1. f Jgs. l. l. g 2 Kg22.6. h Ezek. 133. a Heb. all his days, 1 Kgs. 8. 22. Micah 2. 11. Gal. 4.

And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria : and all the prophets prophesied before them. 10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him * horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. 11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, * Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LoRD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with ‘one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. 13 And Micaiah said, fls the LoRD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. - 14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, n .

Fle is slain at Ramoth-gilead or shall I forbear ! And he said, "Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the Lord 4 16 Then he said, I did "see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LoRD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? 18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD ; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the "host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19 And the LoRD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead! And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 20 Then there came out Pa spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the Lord said unto him, Where with ? i 21 And he said, I will go out, and be "a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and “ thou shalt also prevail: go out and do €7)672 SO. 22 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LoRD hath spoken evil against thee. 23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LoRD from me to speak unto thee! 24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt 'see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son ; 26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the "prison, and feed him with “bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. 27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead. 29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will * disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. 30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. 31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the cha- riots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they “compassed about him to fight: but "Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LoRD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 32 For it came to pass, that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. 33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel ‘between the joints of the harness: there- fore he said to his chariot-man, Turn thine hand that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. 34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syri- ans until the even : and about the time of the sun going down he * died - - 274 The prayer of Jehoshaphat. CHAPTER XIX. Iehoshaphat reproved by Jehu, visiteth his kingdom, 1 : His instructions to the judges, 5, to the priests and Levites, 8. ND Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house “in peace to Jerusalem. - 2 And "Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the “ungodly, and "love them that “hate the Lord 4 therefore ' is wrath upon thee from before the Lord. 3 Nevertheless, there are * good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the "groves out of the land, and hast “prepared thy heart to seek God. 4 And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem : and he " went Ephraim, and brought them back unto the LORD God of their fathers. - 5 *| And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city; 6 And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do : for ye judge not for man, but for the LoRD, who is "with you in the judgment. 7 Wherefore now let the "fear of the LoRD be upon you : take heed and do it: for there is no “iniquity with the LoRD our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 8 *|| Moreover, in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the PLevites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controver- sies, when they returned to Jerusalem. 9 And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the 4 fear of the Lord, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 10 And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between * blood and blood, between "law and commandment, statutes and judg- ments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so 'wrath come " upon you, and upon your brethren : this do, and ye shall not trespass. 11 And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of the Lord ; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s “matters: also the Levites shall be officers before you. Deal cou- rageously, and the LoRD shall be with the good. CHAPTER XX. 'ehoshaphat in his fear proclaimeth a fast, I : His prayer, 5. The pro- phecy of Jehaziel, 14.

I" came to pass after this also, that the children of “Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other be- sides the Ammonites, came "against Jehoshaphat to battle... 2 Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the “sea on this side Syria; and behold, they be in "Haza- Zon-tamar, which is “En-gedi. : 3 And Jehoshaphat ‘ feared, and set himself & to seek the LORD, and proclaimed "a fast throughout all Judah. 4. And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LoRD ; even out of ‘all the cities of Judah they Came to seek the LORD. 5 " And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Ju-l. dah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LöRD, before “theft new court, - 6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou 'God in heaven? and "rulest not thou over all the king- doms of the heathen l and in thy hand is there not power and might, so that "none is able to withstand thee 7 Art not thou "our God, who didst Pdrive out the inhabit- ants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to #he seed of Abraham 4 thy friend for ever ?

And his mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 32 And he walked in the "way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LorºD. - 33 Howbeit, the “high places were not taken away : for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers. 34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of * Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel. . . . 35 || And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah "join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly: 36 And he joined himself with him to make ships ' to go to Tarshish ; and they made the ships in * Ezion-geber. 37 Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah pro- phesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast "joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LoRD hath "broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish. * CHAPTER XXI.

Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was bu- ried with his fathers in the city of David. And “Je- horam his son reigned in his stead. . . - 2 And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Aza- riah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah ; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. . - 3 And their father gave them great “ gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Ju- dah : but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram ; because he was "the first-born. * - 4 Now when Jehoram was “risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and "slew all his bre- thren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel. 5 * Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he be- gan to reign, and he reigned “eight years in Jerusalem. 6 And he walked in the way of the "kings of Israel, like; as did & the house of Ahab : for he had the "daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LoRD. º 7 Howbeit the LoRD would not destroy the ‘house of David, because of the * covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a “light to him and to his sons for ever. 8 * In his days the Edomites revolted from under the * dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king. 5.

But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go ‘a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of "Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself: . 14 Behold, with a great plague will the LoRD smite thy ºple, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: - 15, And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy ‘bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sick- ness day by day. 16 || Moreover, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were * near the Ethiopians: - 17 And they came up into Judah, and * brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz the young- est of his sons. 18 ºf And after all this the Lord smote him in his * bowels with an incurable disease. 19 And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness : so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no "burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and * de- parted without being desired ; howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. g g CHAPTER XXII. •Ahaziah succeeding, reigneth wickedly, 1.

So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned. - 2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he be- gan to reign, and he reigned “one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah ihe "daughter of Omri. 3.

And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter. 6 *|| For Pekah the son of Remaſiah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men ; because they had forsaken the LoRD God of their fathers. 7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was “next to the king. 8 And the children of Israel carried away captive of their "brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria. 9 But "a prophet of the LoRD was there, whose name was Oded : and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto thern, Behold, because the LoRD God of your fathers * was wroth with Judah, he hath de- livered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that P reacheth up unto heaven. 10 And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for " bond-men and bond-women gs of Israel, unto you : but are there not with you, even with you, 'sins against the LoRD your God - II.

At that time did king Ahaz send unto the "kings of Assyria to help him. 17 For * again the Edomites had come and smitten Ju- dah, and carried away captives. 18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken “Beth- |shemesh, and “Ajalon, and ' Gederoth, and & Shocho with |the villages thereof, and "Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there. 19 For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel : for he made Judah “naked, and trans- gressed sore against the Lord. : 20 And 'Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and " distressed him, but strengthened him not. 21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LoRD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, " and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. - - 22 || And in the time of his distress did he trespass * yet more against the LORD : P this is that king Ahaz. 23 For he "sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him ; and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria "help them, thereforewill I sacrifice to them, that they *may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and ofall Israel, 24 And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the Lord, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 25 And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto "other gods, and provoke to anger the LoRD God of his fathers. 26 | Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem : but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel : and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

And the Le- Vites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook' Kidron. 17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the 'porch of the LoRD : so they sanctified the house of the Lord, in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LoRD, and the altar of burnt-offering with all the ‘ vessels thereof, and the "shew-bread table, with all the vessels thereof. 19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we pre- Pºred and sanctified, and behold, they are before the altar of the Lord. r 20 * Then Hezekiah the king rose 3 early, and gather- £d the ‘rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LoRD. *! And they brought “seven bullocks, and seven rams, ºnd seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for " a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah.

And the priests killed them, and they made "recon- ciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an "atone- ment for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt- offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel. 25 And he 8 set the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of "Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the command- ment of the LORD by his prophets. 26 And the Levites stood with the ‘instruments of David, and the priests" with the trumpets. 27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offer- ing upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the 'song of the LoRD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by "David king of Israel. 28 And all the congregation "worshipped, and the “singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded : and all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished. 29 And when they had made "an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 30 Moreover, Hezekiah the king and the princes com- manded the Levites to sing praise unto the Lord with the words of David, and P of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped. * 31 Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord, come near and bring " sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LoRD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and, as many as were of a free heart, ‘ burnt-offerings. 32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was "threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to the Lord. 33 And the consecrated things, were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 34 But the priests were too few, so that they could not slay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did “help them till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more * upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 35 And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the ' fat of the peace-offerings, and the * drink-offerings for “every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order. 36 And Hezekiah "rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people : for the thing was done suddenly. - CHAPTER, XXX.

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LoRD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and "he will return to the remnant of you that are "escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7 And be not ye "like your fathers, and like your bre- thren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fa- thers, who therefore "gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 8 Now be ye not "stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LoRD, and enter into his sanc- tuary, which he hath sanctified for ever ; and serve the LoRD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. . . 9 For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren. and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LoRD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. 10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun : but they “laughed them to scorn, and mocked them. 11 * Nevertheless, divers of Asher and Manasseh and II.

He wrote also “letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand. - 18 Then they cried with a loud voice, in the Jews’ speech, unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city. 19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man. .* 20 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the ‘prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried “to heaven. 21 *| And the LoRD sent an angel, which cut off all the s mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword. 22 Thus the Lorp saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and “guided them on every side. 23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Jerusalem, |and "presents to Hezekiah king of Judah : so that he was * magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth. 24 || “In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the Lord : and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign. 25 But Hezekiah • rendered not again according to the d benefit doneunto him; for "his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and “upon Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself "for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerlſ- …” 283 Manasseh's wicked reign. salem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah. - 27 - And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels: 28 Storehouses also for theincrease of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks. 29 Moreover, he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance : for “God had given him substance very much. a’ 30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper Water- course of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works. 31 "I Howbeit, in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to * inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to 'try him, that he might "know all that was in his heart. w 32 | Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his • goodness, behold, they are written in the " vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David : and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death ; and / Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

ANASSEH was “twelve years old when he began to reign, and hereigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem: 2 But did that which was evil in the sight of the LoRD, like unto the "abominations of the heathen, whom the LoRD had cast out before the children of Israel. | 3 || For he “built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had “broken down ; and he reared up altars for *Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the “host of heaven, and served them. 4 Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the LoRD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever. 5 And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the * two courts of the house of the LORD. 6 And he caused his * children to pass through the fire tn the valley of the son of Hinnom ; also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he "wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 7 And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, " In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of 1srael, will I put my name for ever : g 8 Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fa- thers; so that they will take heed to do “all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

So they brought the king word again. | 29 || “Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30 And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small : and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD. 31 And the king stood "in his place, and made a cove- nant before the LoRD, to walk after the LORD, and to |keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his sta- tutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book. 32 And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Je- rusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 33 And Josiah took away all “the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the Lond their God. And all his days they de- parted not from following the Lord, the God of their fathers. - - CHAPTER XXXV.

Lamentations for Josiah, 25. */ºr OREOVER, Josiah kept " a passover unto the LoRD Wä in Jerusalem : and they "killed the passover on the * fourteenth day of the first month. 2 And he set the priests in their "charges, and *en- couraged them to the service of the house of the Lord, 3 And said unto the Levites that ‘ taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Lord, Put the 4 holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build : it shall not be " a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Israel, 4 And prepare yourselves by the " houses of your fathers after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of "Solomon his son: 5 And " stand in the "holy place according to the divi- sions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites: 6. So kill the passover, and P sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses - 285 Josiah is slain at Megiddo. 7 And Josiah 4 gave to the * people, of the flock, lambs and kids all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thou- sand bullocks : these were of the king's substance.

ND when the * seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people ga- thered themselves together" as one man to * Jerusalem. 2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, as it is "written in the law of Moses the “man of God. 3 And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they 8 offered burnt-offerings thereon unto the Lord, even burnt-offerings morning and evening. 4 They kept also the "feast of tabernacles, as it is writ. ten, and offered the daily burnt-offerings by number, ac- cording to the custom, “as the duty of every day required; 5 And afterward offered the continual burnt-offering, both of the new-moons, and of all the * set feasts of the LoRD that were consecrated, and of every one that "will- ingly offered a free-will-offering unto the Lord. 6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt-offerings unto the LoRD. But the founda tion of the temple of the LGRD was not yet laid. 7 They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of "Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring * cedar-trees from * Lebanon to the sea of P Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia. 8 * Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the capti- vity unto Jerusalem ; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD. 9 Then 4 stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethreſ, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites. 10 And when the builders laid the foundation of the y and Six; temple of the Lorp, they set the priests in their apparel ||with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with "...cymbals, to praise the LoRD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. Ti And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord ; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. Ánd all the people 'shouted with a great shout, when they praised 288 The letter to Artavera!es. the Loko, because the foundation of the house of the poRD was land. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice ; and many shouted; aloud " for joy : 13 So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people : for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

OW when the * adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the " Lord God of Israel ; 2 * Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the 4 chief of the fathers, and said unto them, * Let us build with you: for * we seek your God, as ye do ; unto him since the days of " Esar-haddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither. 3 But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house unto our God ; but we our- selves together will build unto the Lord God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. 4 * Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and " troubled them in building, 5 And hired " counsellors against them, to * frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until P the reign of Darius king of Persia. 6 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem. 7 || And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mith- redath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue. 8 Rehuin the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe, wrote a letter 4 against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this SOrt : - 9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Ar- shevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Flamites, 10 And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble ASnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and * at such a time. 11 || This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king ; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time. 12 Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us, are come unto Jerusalem, building the ‘ rebellious and the * bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and * joined the foundations. 13 Be it known now unto the king, that if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not * pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings. 14 Now because * we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dis- honour, therefore have we sent and certified the king; 15 That search may be made in the book of the * records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and * hurtful wnto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedi- EZR.A. } B.

But in the “first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God. 14 And the * vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did “Cyrus the king take out of the tem- ple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor ; 15 And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place. 16 Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foun- dation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem : and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and get it is "not finished. 17 Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there!" be search made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Je- rusalem, and let the king send * his pleasure to us con- cerning this matter.

So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was " entreated of us. 24 || Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, 25 And ‘weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had " offered : - 26 I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and &º fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels a hundred talents, and of gold a hundred talents; 27 Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold. 28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LoRD ; * the vessels are holy also ; and the silver and the gold are a free-will-offering unto the LoRD God of your fathers. 29 "Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them, be- fore the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the * chambers of the house of the Lord. 30 So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Je- rusalem unto the house of our God. 31 || Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the P first month, to go unto Jerusalem : and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way. 32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days. i8 || Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of 4 Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest ; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas ; and with them was * Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Bin- nui, Levites; 34 By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time. 35 ſllso the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered ‘ burnt-of- ferings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Is- rael, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering : all this was a burnt-offering unto the LORD. - 36 °] And they delivered the king’s commissions unto: the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river : and they "furthered the people, and the house of God. * CHAPTER IX.

And they sware. 6 * Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the 'chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib. and when he came thither, he did "eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 7 And they “made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem ; 8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself *separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 9 || Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the "ninth month, and the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the "street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the “great rain. 10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives “to increase the trespass of Israel. 1 J Now therefore make P confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and "do his pleasure : and 'separate vourselves from the people of the land, and from the Strange wives.

And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they "strengthened their hands for this good work. 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the ser- Vant, the Ammonite, and "Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they "laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do will ye Prebel against the king 1 c 20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his ser- vants will arise and build : but ye have no 4 portion, nor ' right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

Nehemiah appointeth a watch * 3 Now 'Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if * a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall, 4. "Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach apon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity: 5. And “cover not ther iniquity, and let not their sin be 'blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. 6 "So built we the wall; and all the wall was "joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had "a mind to work. - 7 *| But it came to pass, that when Samballat, and Tobiah, and the "Arabians, and the "Ammonites, and the Ash- dodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were * very wroth, 8 And conspired 'all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 9 Nevertheless we made our "prayer unto our God, and “set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 10 And Judah said, The 3 strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that We are not *able to build the wall. 11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 12 And it came to pass, that when the Jews which "dwelt by thern came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you. 13 * Therefore “set I in the lower places behind the wali, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. c 14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, "Be not ye afraid of them : * remember the LoRD which is great and terrible, and fight for your "brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your “wives, and your houses. 15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought ‘ their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my & servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them " held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah. 17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a - *|weapon. 18 For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trum- pet was by me. 19 ºf And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another. c 20 In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trum pet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall ‘fight for us. 21 So “we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared. 22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day. 23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us 'put off our clothes, * saving that every one put them off for washing 295 Nehemiah's hospitality. . CHAPTER V. . . The Jews complain of their debt, mortgage, and bondage, I., Yehemiah' rebuketh the usurers, and causeth them to make a cove?vant of restitu- tion, 6. He forbeareth his own allowance, and keepeth, hospitality, 14. AND there was “a great cry of the people and of their A wives against their "brethren the Jews. 2 For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daugh- ters, are many : therefore we take up “corn "for them, that we may eat, and live. h 3 Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged; our lands, vineyards, and houses, that We might buy corn, fö. because of the dearth. 4 There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s “tribute, and that upon our lands and vine- ards. y 5 Yet now four flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and 80me of our daughters are brought into bondage already : neither is PS it "in our power to redeem them ; for other men have our lands and vineyards. e 6 *| And I was very “angry when I heard their cry and these words. p 7 || Then I consulted with myself, and 'I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, "Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a "great as- sembly against them. 8 And I said unto them, We, after our ability, have "re- deemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and P found nothing to answer. 9 Also I said, It is " not good that ye do : Ought ye not * to walk in the fear of our God because of the * reproach of the heathen our enemies 1 - 10 I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn : I pray you, let us leave off' this usury. * 11 * Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye * exact of them. 12 Then said they, We will restore them, and will re- quire nothing of them ; so will we do as thou Sayest. Then I called the priests, and took "an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. 13 Also I " shook my lap, and said, So "God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that per- formeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, “A men, and praised the LoRD. And the people * did according to this promise. 14 * Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, * twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the ‘hread of the governor. 15 But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver ; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people : but so did not I, § because of the fear of God. * t 16 Yea, also I " continued in the work of this wall, nei- ther bought we any land: and all my servants were ga- thered thither unto the work, - 17 Moreover, there were" at my table a hundred and fifty. of the Jews and rulers, besides those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us. 18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was one; ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for NEHEMIAH.

CHAPTER VI. Sanballat practiseth by craft, by rumours, by hired prophecies, to terrify JWehemiah, 1. The work is finished to the terror of the enemies, 15. Secret intelligence passeth between the enemies and the nobles of Judah, 17. OW it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and | Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, ‘ſheard that I had builded the wall, and that there was " no breach left therein ; (though at that time I had "not set up the doors upon the gates;) g 2 That Sanballat and Geshem “sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of "Ono. But they thought to do me “mischief. 3 And ' I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am domg a great work, so that I cannot come down : why should the * work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? 4 Yet they sent unto me "four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. 5 Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like man- ner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand; 6 Wherein was written, ‘It is reported among the hea then, and Gashmu " saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel : for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be "their king, according to these words. 7 And thou hast also appointed "prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together. 8 Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou "feignest them out of thine own heart. 9 For they all made us Pafraid, saying, “ Their hands İshall be weakened from the work, that it be not done Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands. 10. Afterward I came unto the house of *Shemaiah the son of ‘Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, who was " shut up ; and he said, Let us meet together in the * house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee. 11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee 'l and * who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life " " I will not go in. 12 And lo, "I perceived that God had not sent him but that he “pronounced this prophecy against me : for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 13 Therefore was he hired, that I should be "afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me. 14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat, ac- cording to these their works, and on the * prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear. 15 || So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, * in fifty and two days. 16 And it came to pass, that when "all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were 'much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of “our God. 17 || Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah 'sent ijmany letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them. 18 For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, be cause he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of * Arah ; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter |* Meshullam the son of Berechiah, - 9QC A register of those that returned 19 Also they reported his “good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear. CHAPTER VII. Nehemiah commitleth the charge of Jerusalem to Hamani and Hana- miah, i. A register of the genealogy of them which came at the first out of Babylon; 5, of the people, 8, of the priests, 39, of the Levites, 43, of the .Veihinims, 46, of Solomon’s servants, 57, and of the priests which could not find lheir pedigree, 63. OW it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the “doors, and the porters, and the sing- ers, and the Levites were appointed, 2 That I gave my brother " Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem : for he was a faithful man, and “feared "God above many. 3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot ; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them : and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house. 4 Now the city was large and great; but the people were few therein, and the “houses were not builded. 5 *| And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein, 6 * These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city ; 7 Who came with "Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, 'Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mis- pereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this ; 8 The children of Parosh, two thousand a hundred se- venty and two. 9 The children of and two. 10 The children of “Arah, six hundred fifty and two. 11 The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen. 12 The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. 13 The children of "Zattu, eight hundred forty and five. 14 The children of * Zaccai, seven hundred and three- SCOT e. 15 The children of Binnui, six hundred forty and eight. 16 The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and eight. 17 The children of Azgad, two thousand three hundred twenty and two. 18 The children of “Adonikam, six hundred threescore and seven. 19 The children of Bigvai, two thousand threescore and SéVen. 20 The children of PAdin, six hundred fifty and five. 2.

So didst thou get thee * a name, as it is this day. 11 And thou didst " divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters. -- 12 Moreover, thou “leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them " from heaven, and gavest them "right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and com- mandments : 14 And madest known unto them thy "holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant : 15 And gavest them P bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the " rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should " go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them. 16 But they and "our fathers dealt 'proudly, and hardened their necks, and "hearkened not to thy commandments, 17 And refused to obey, neither were “mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them ; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to re- turn to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to par- don, gracious and merciful, “slow to anger, and of great kindness, and “forsookest them not. 18 Yea, when they had made them "a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations; 19 Yet thou in thy ‘manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the "pillar of the cloud departed 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. 20 Thou gavest also thy “good Spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst. 21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wil- derness, so that 5 they lacked nothing ; their "clothes waxed not old, and their feet 'swelled not. 22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide thern into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of k Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan. - 23 Their cºildren also multipliedst thou as the 'stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go "in to possess it. 24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou "subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 25 And they took strong cities, and " a fat land, and possessed Phouses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards and olive-vards, and fruit-trees in abundance: so they did NEHEMIAH.

And the singers * sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer. 43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and 're- joiced: for “God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced ; so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off. 44 || And at that time were some appointed over the “chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the first- fruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited. 45 And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of * their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son. 46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were 7 chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. 47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the ‘portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion : and they “sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.

He reformeth the offices in the house of God, 10, the violation of the sabbath, 15, and the marriages with strange wives, 23. O* * that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found " written, that the “Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; 2 Because they “met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but “hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them : howbeit, our God “ turned the curse into a blessing. 3 Now it came to pass, when they had 8 heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the "mixed multitude. 4 *| And 'before this, Eliashib the priest, having the * oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was 'allied unto Tobiah : 5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the "meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, (which was "commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters,) and the offer- ings of the priests. 6 But in all this time * was not I at Jerusalem : for in the "two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Baby- lon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king : 7 And I came to Jerusalem, and 4 understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God. 8 And it "grieved me sore : therefore I cast forth all the household-stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber. 9 Then I." commanded, and they cleansed the cham- bers : and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense. 10 *| And I perceived that the ‘portions of the Levites had not been given them : for the Levites and the singers, that did the "work, were fled every one to his field. 11 Then ‘ contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken 7 And I gathered them to- gether, and set them in their place. 12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the Hew wine and the oil unto the treasuries. - 13 And I made ‘treasurers over the treasuries, Shele- miah the priest, and Zadok the scribe; and of the Levites, NEHEMIAH B.

CHAPTER II. Out of the choice ºf virgins, a queen is to be chosen, 1. º nursing father of Esther, 5. Esther is preferred by Hegai before the rest, 8. The manner of purification, and going in to the king, 12. Esther best pleasing the king, is made queen, 15. JMordecai disco- vering a treason, is recorded in the Chronicles, 21. FTER these things, when the wrath of king Ahasue- rus was appeased, he * remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was " decreed against her. 2 Then said the “king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there "be fair young virgins sought for the king: 3 And let the king appoint officers in “all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king’s cham- berlain, keeper of the women; and let their “things, for purification be given them : 4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king' be queen instead of Washti. And the thing pleased the king ; and he did so. 5 || Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain & Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite ; 6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with "Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away. 7 And he brought up Hadassah, (that is Esther,) his uncle's daughter: for she had neither,' father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful ; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own * daughter. 8 * So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained 'kind- ness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for pu- rification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven JMordecai the 50.|maidens which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house : and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women. 10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred : for Mordecai had "charged her that she should not shew it. 11 And Mordecai walked “every day before the court of the women’s house, to “know how Esther did, and what should become of her. 12 | Now when every maid’s furn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been "twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the 303 Haman seeketh revenge on the Jews days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women ;) 13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; what- soever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house. 14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow shelf. returned into the second house of the women, to the cus- tody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by Ila OO €. 15 Now when the "turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required P nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed.

And the king and Haman sat down " to drink; but the ‘city Shushan was perplexed. CHAPTER IV. The great mourning of JMordecai and the Jews, 1.

Wºº Mordecai perceived “all that was done, Mor- decai" rent his clothes, and put on “sackcloth with "ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and “cried with a loud and a bitter cry; •. 2 And came even before the king’s gate : for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. 3 And in every province whithersoever the king’s com- mandment and his decree came, there was "great mourn- ing among the Jews, and * fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. 4 * So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved ; and she sent rairment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he "received it not. 5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. 6 So Hatach * went forth to Mordecai, unto the street of e city, which was before the king’s gate. 7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto fore Haman sought "to destroy all the Jews that were ºr a 9.]him, and of the 'sum of the money that Haman had pro 304 Esther obtaineth the king’s favour. mised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to de: stroy them. .. 8. Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the de- cree that was given at "Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to." charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make “supplica- tion unto him, and to make P request before him for her eople. - p jºid Hatach came and 4 told Esther the words of Mor- decai. 10 * * Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai ; - 11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether "man or wo- man, shall come unto the king into the 'inner court, who is "not called, there is “one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live : but I have not been called to come in unto the king these “thirty days. 12 And they told Mordecai Esther’s words. 13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in “the king's house, more than all the Jews. 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace "at this time, then shall there “enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from * another place ; but “thou and thy fa- ther's house shall be destroyed: and * who knoweth, whe- ther thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this ". 15 ºf Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer, 16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and * fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day : * I also and my maidens will fast likewise : and "so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and "if I perish, I perish. 17 So Mordecai went his way, and * did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

So Esther drew near, and touched the 'top of the sceptre. - 3 Then said the king unto her, & What wilt thou, queen Esther 1 and what is thy request ? it shall be even given thee to the "half of the kingdom. 4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the “banquet that I have prepared for him. . 5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said.

There the wicked * cease from troubling; and there the * weary be at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the “oppressor. - - 19 The * small and great are there ; and the * servant is free from his master. - 20 Wherefore is " light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul ; - - - 21 Which “ long for death, but it cometh not ; and dig for it more than for hid treasures ; 22 Which "rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave 4 - 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is "hid, and whom God hath "hedged in 24 For my sighing cometh P before I eat, and my roar- ings are poured out like the waters. 25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. 26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came. CHAPTER IV. Eliphaz reproveth Job for want of religion, 1 : He teacheth God’s judg- ments to be not for the righteous, but for the wicked, 7: His fearful vision to humble the excellencies of creatures before God, 12. HEN Eliphaz the Temanite “answered and said, 2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou " be grieved 1 but who can * withhold himself from speaking 4. 3 Behold, thou hast "instructed many, and thou hast ° strengthened the weak hands. 4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the 8 feeble knees. 5 But now it is " come upon thee, and thou faintest ; it' toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. - 6 Is not this thy " fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the "uprightness of thy ways 7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent 1 or where were the righteous cut off 8 Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity, and SOW wickedness, reap the same. , 9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 10 The roaring of the "lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. | | The old lion perisheth " for lack of prey, and the Stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad. *. 12 Now a thing was "secretly brought to me, and mine ear received 4 a little thereof. - 13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my 'bones to shake. . 15.

I have heard the “check of my reproach, and the Spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. 4 Knowest thou not this “ of old, since man was placed upon earth, 5 That the triumphing of the wicked is ° short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? 6. Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his ‘head reach unto the clouds; 7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he 8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall "not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. 9. The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him. 10 * His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. ! 11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall 'lie down with him in the dust. 12 Though wickedness be "sweet in his mouth, though. he hide it under his tongue; 13 Though he spare it, and "forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth : 14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the "gall of asps within him. 15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall Pvomit them up again : God shall cast them out of his belly. 16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the 4 viper’s tongue shall slay him. - 17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. 18 That which he laboured for shall he * restore, and shall not swallow it down : according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. 19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor ; because he hath violently taken away a house which he builded not ; . . 20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall * not save of that which he desired. 21 There shall none of his meat be “left; therefore |shall no man look for his goods. 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits : every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. 23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall ‘cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him * while he is eating. 24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the "bow of steel shall strike him through. 25 It is “ drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. 26 Ali darkness shall be hid in his secret places: " a fire not blown shall consume him ; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. • * - r 27 The “heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the ‘ earth shall rise up against him. 28 The increase of his house shall # depart, and his |goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage " appointed unto him by God.

URELY there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they “fine it. - 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and "brass is molten out of the stone. - 3 He setteth “an end to darkness, and searcheth out all "perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. 4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried up, they are gone away from men. - 5 J's for the earth, out of it cometh “bread : and under it is turned up as it were fire. 6 The stories of it are the place of 'sapphires : and it hath dust of gold. 7 There is 5 a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vuiture’s eye hath not seen : 8 The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he over- turneth the mountains by the roots. - 10 He " cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye ‘seeth every precious thing. - 11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is “hid bringeth he forth to light. 12 But where shall wisdom be found ! and where is the "place of understanding 4 13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the "land of the living. 14 The * depth saith, It is not in me : and the sea saith, All is not with me JOB.

IVE ear, O “my people, to my law: * incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will “open my mouth in " a parable : I will utter dark sayings of old : 3 Which we have “heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the ' praises of the LoRD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established 5 a testimony in Jacob, and ap pointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known " to their children: 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born ; who should arise and * declare them to their children : 7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 8 And might not be “as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation ; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not steadfast with God. 9 The "children of Ephraim, being armed, and carry- ing bows, turned back in the day of battle. 10 They kept not the covenant of God, and "refused to walk in his law ; 11 And " forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of P Zoan. 13 He " divided the sea, and caused them to pass through ; and he made the waters to stand as a heap. 14 In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15 He clave the 'rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17 And they sinned "yet more against him by * provok ing the Most High in the wilderness. 18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their “lust. 19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness 20 Behold, he “smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he * give bread also 7 can he provide flesh for his people 21 Therefore the LoRD " heard this, and was ‘wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel ; 22 Because they "believed not in God, and “ trusted not in his salvation : 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the * doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down & manna upon The story The Is- .." them to eat, |and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25 Man did eat "angels' food; he sent them "meat to the full. e - 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and sound ; thine “arrows also went abroad. , 1.Nu.

God's wrath against the disobedient. 27 He rained “flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the Sea : 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire ; 30 They were not estranged from their 'lust: but while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this they "sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. 33 Therefore their days did he consume "in vanity, and their years in trouble. 34 When he "slew them, then they sought him : and they returned and inquired early after God. 35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the high God their Redeemer. 36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was P not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant. 38 But he, being 4 full of compassion, forgave their ini- quity, and destroyed them not : yea, º many a time turn- ed he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh ; “a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again. 40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and ‘grieve him in the desert 41 Yea, they " turned back and tempted God, and “limit- ed the Holy One of Israel. . . 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when ne delivered them from the enemy. 43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan : 44 And had turned their rivers into 7 blood : and their floods, that they could not drink. 45 He sent * divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them ; and * frogs which destroyed them. 46 He gave also their increase unto the " caterpillar, and their labour unto “the locust. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their syca- more-trees with “frost. 48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to "hot thunder-bolts. 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. .." 50 He made a way to his anger; he spared not their i. from death, but gave their life over to the pesti- ence; - 51 And smote all the “first-born in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of " Ham : 52 But made his own people to go forth & like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the "sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54 And he brought them to the border of ‘his sanctua- ry, even to this mountain, which his * right hand had pur- chased. 55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and " divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes G of Israel to dwell in their tents.

For thou hast possessed my "reins: thou hast "co- Vered me in my mother's womb. 14 t will praise thee; for I am fearfully and P wonder- fully made : marvellous are thy works ; and that my soul "knoweth right well. - 13 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16.

It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and * after vows to make inquiry. 26 A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the * wheel over them. k 27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LoRD, ‘search- ing all the inwards parts of the belly. - 28 “Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. - - 29 The glory of young men is their 'strength ; and the beauty of old men is the gray head. 30 The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do "stripes the inward parts of the belly. * - CHAPTER XXI. HE king’s “heart is in the "hand of the LoRD, as the rivers of water : he turneth it whithersoever he * will. 2 Every way of a man is “right in his own eyes : but the LoRD pondereth the hearts. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LoRD than "sacrifice. g 4. A high look, and a proud heart, and the * ploughing of the wicked, is sin. 376 * Oſsundry moral virtues, 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteous- ness; but of every one that is hasty, only to want. º 6 The getting of treasures by “a lying tongue is a vani- ty tossed to and fro of them that seek death. 7. The robbery of the wicked shall ‘ destroy them; be- cause they refuse to do judgment. 8 The way of man is froward and strange : but as for the “pure, his work is right. . 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the house-top, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10 The soul of the wicked * desireth evil : his neigh- bour findeth “no favour in his eyes. e 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is “made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth know- ledge. 12 The righteous man' wisely considereth the house wickedness. --- 13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall "cry himself, but shall not be heard. 14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger: and a reward in the E bosom, strong wrath. . 15 It is "joy to the just to do judgment: tion shall be to the workers of iniquity. 16 The man that P wandereth out of the way of under- standing shall remain in the congregation of the dead. 17 He that loveth 4 pleasure shall be a poor man : he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. 18 The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous, and the transgressor for the upright. but 9 destruc- 19 It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a ' contentious and an angry woman. 20 There is ‘treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwell- ing of the wise ; but a foolish man spendeth it up. 21 He that "followeth after righteousness and mercy, findeth life, righteousness, and honour. 22 A wise man * scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. 23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from troubles. 24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in 'proud wrath. 25 The desire of the slothful “killeth him ; for his hands refuse to labour. . , 26 He coveteth greedily all the day long : but the righteous * giveth and spareth not. 27 The sacrifice of the "wicked is abomination : how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind'ſ 28 A false witness shall perish : but the man that hear- eth, speaketh constantly. : 29 A wicked man “hardeneth his face upright, he directeth his way. 30 There is no "wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LoRD. 31. The “horse is prepared against the day of battle : but 'safety is of the LoRD. -- A CHAPTER, XXII. : but as for the * GOOD name is riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. * The rich and poor" meet together: the Lord is theº * maker of them all. 3.

And how dieth the wise ſman 2 * as the fool. . - . 17 Therefore I "hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is Vanity and vexation of spirit. { 18 "I Yea, " I hated all my labou y labour: and this was my portion r which I had taken under the sun; because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. 19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise m6!/? ° or a fool" yet shall he have rule over all my labout wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the unºhis is also "vanity A time for all things. 20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart “to de- spair of all the labour which I took under the sun. 21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil. - 22 For what hath man of *all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun ? - 23 For "all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not * rest in the night. This is also Vanity. 24 º There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul en- joy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was “from the hand of God. 25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto more than I ? 26 For God giveth to a man that is 'good in his sight, ". wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the "sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good * before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. ; CHAPTER III. By the necessary change ºf times, vanity is added to human travail, 1. There is an excellency in God's work, 11. But as for man, God shall judge his works hereafter, and here he shall be like a beast, 16. Tº every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven : - 2 A time to be “born, and a time to * die; a time toſs * plant, and a time to pluck" up that which is planted ; 3 A time * to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up ; !. - . 4 A time to * weep, and a time to 4 laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance ; t’ 5 A time * to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together ; a time to embrace, and a time to * re- frain from embracing; - 6 A time to get, and a time to lose ; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; -- ...7. A time to rend, and a time to sew ; a time to 'keep silence, and a time to speak; - - 8 A time to love, and a time to * hate and a time of peace. 9 * What profit hath laboureth - - 10 I have * seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 11 * He hath made every thing beautiful in his time : also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can " find out the work that God maketh from the begin- ning to the end. 12, I know that there is no good" in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. ; a time of war, he that worketh in that wherein he 13 And also that every man should "eat and drink, andlić enjoy the good of all his labour; it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be ‘for *Ver: "nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now ; and that which “is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 16 || And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that 3 wickedness was there ; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. - 17. I said in my heart, God shall “judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. - - 18 I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might Bee that they themselves are * beasts * .

Remedies against vanity are, a good name, 1, mortification, 2, patience, 7, wisdom, 11. The difficulty of getting wisdom, 23. * GOOD name is better than precious ointment; and the day of * death than the day of one’s birth. 2 *|| It is better to go to the house of mourning, than ‘to go to the “house of "feasting : for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 3 * Sorrow is better than laughter : for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. 4 The * heart of the wise is in the 4 house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth. * 5 It is better to hear the "rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools: 6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the i ‘laughter of the fool: this also is vanity. 7 * Surely oppression maketh “a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning there- of: and the "patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not "hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger * resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the "former days were better than these 1 for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this. 11 * Wisdom is Pgood with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a 4 defence, and "money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. 13 Consider * the work of God : for who can make that ‘straight, which he hath made crooked 4 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity " consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. -- - 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that * perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. . 16 Be not righteous * over much; neither make thyself * over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? 17 Be not " over much wicked, neither be thou foolish : why shouldest thou die “ before thy time ! 18 It is good that thou shouldest" take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God shall “come forth of them all. 19 Wisdom 'strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city. 20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that * doeth good, and sinneth not. 21. Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken lest thou hear thy servant sgºrse thee : $4 i he divine providence is to be observed. * thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. 23 * All this have I' proved by wisdom : I said, I will be "wise ; but it was far from me. 24 That which is “far off, and exceeding * deep, who *... m.a.l. can find it out 4 25 I applied my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to knowl; the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness : 26 And PI find more bitter than death the woman whose heart 4 is snares and nets, and her hands as bands : whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. 27 Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, count- ing one by one, to find out the account; 28 Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not : * one man among a thousand have I found ; but ‘a woman among all those have I not found. 29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man "upright; but they have sought out many “inventions.

Where the word of a king is, there is power ; and who may say unto him, ‘What doest thou ! 5 Whoso # keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing : and a wise man’s heart discerneth both "time and judgment. .” 6 * Because to every purpose there is time and judg- ment, therefore the 'misery of man is great upon him. 7 For he * knoweth not that which shall be : for who Can tell him, when it shall be 'ſ - 8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit: neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. 9.

LNOR, all this I considered in my heart even "to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man "knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them. 2 All things come alike to all : there is ° one event to the righteous and to the wicked ; to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean ; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not ; as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath. 3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all : yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and “madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. * . 4 * For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for "a living dog is better than a dead lion. - 5 For the living “know that they shall die; but the dead " know not any thing, neither have they any more a * reward ; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more "a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 7 * “Go thy way, “eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. - : 8 Let thy garments be always white ; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the "life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity : for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which theu takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with "thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 * I returned, and saw under the sun, that the * race is not to the swift, nor the P battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of under- standing, nor 4 yet favour to men of skill ; but time and chance happeneth to them all. + 12 For man also knoweth not his time : as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare ; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth 'suddenly upon them. 13 * This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me : - 14 There was a little ‘city, and few men within it; and there came "a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it : 15 Now there was found in it “a poor wise man, and he 7 by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man * remem- bered that same poor man. - 16 Then said I, Wisdom " is better than strength : nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. 17 The words of wise men are heard ” in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools 3 C 385 Directions for charity. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but “one sinner destroyeth much good. CHAPTER X. - - - Observations of wisdom and folly, 1, of riot, 16, slothfulness, 18, and mo- ney, 19. Men’s thoughts of kings ought to be reverent, 20. EAD flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to: send forth a stinking savour: so doth “a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. 1 2 A wise man’s heart is at his "right hand; but a fool's, heart is at ‘ his left. 3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and “he saith to every one that he £s a fool. 4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for “ yielding pacifieth great offences. 5 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler : 6 Folly is set in great dignity, and the * rich sit in place. ” 7 I have seen "servants upon horses, and princes walk- ing as servants upon the earth. 8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso * breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt there with; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but 'wisdom is profit- able to direct. low 11 Surely the "serpent will bite without enchantment; : and a babbler is no better. 12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are "gracious ; but the lips of a fool will "swallow up himself. 13 The P beginning of the words of his mouth is foolish- ness : and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 14 A fool also is 4 full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be ; and what shall be after him, who can tell him 7 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. 16 || Wo to thee, O land, when thy king is "a child, and thy princes eat in the morning ! 17 Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of ‘nobles, and thy princes eatin due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness : - 18 By much slothfulness the building decayeth ; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through. 19 || A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry : but money answereth all things. 20 " " Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed-chamber : for * a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. - CHAPTER Xi.

AST thy bread “upon the waters: for thou shalt find it "after many days. 2 Give a “portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 If the "clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that “observeth the wind shall not sow; and hel; that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the “spirit, zor how ‘the bones do grow in the womb of her that is ECCLESIASTES.

All that cometh is vanity. 9 * 'Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into "judgment. 10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away "evil from thy flesh : for childhood and youth are vanity. CHAPTER XII. The Creator is to be remembered in due time, 1,. The Preacher's care to edify, 8. The fear of God is the chief antidote of vanity, 13. EMEMBER now thy Creator in the * days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the "years draw high, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them ; 2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain : 3 In the day when the “keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, 4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all " the daughters of music shall be brought low ; * 5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond-tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his “ long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bow! be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7 Then shall the 'dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return & unto God who gave it. 8 * * Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity. 9 And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge: yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10. The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written, was upright, even words of truth. 11 The words of the wise are as ‘goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. 12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished; of making * many books there is no end ; and much study * a weariness of the flesh. - 13 || Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment with 'every secret thing, whether it be "good or whether 2 Th. 2. 10.

The confusion of Egypt. 3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, “ see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the moun- tains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 4 For so the LoRD said unto me, I will take's my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling-place like a clear * heat .g. upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. 5 For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and ...the 'sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. 6 They shall be left together unto the * fowls of the mountains, and to the ‘beasts of the earth ; and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them. - 7 *|| In that time shall the "present be brought unto the LoRD of hosts of a "people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto ; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LoRD of hosts, the mount Zion.

Behold, the Lord * rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt : and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the * heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. 2 And I will set the Egyptians “against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and i.every one against his neighbour; city against city, and ...|kingdom against kingdom. 3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof: and I will destroy the "counsel thereof: and they shall * seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards. 4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a * cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts. 5 And the 8 waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up. - 6 And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the |brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither. g 7 The paper-reeds by the brooks, by the “mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more. 8 The * fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that 'spread nets upon the waters shall languish. 9 Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave net-works, shall be confounded. 10 And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for "fish. 11 * Surely the princes of Zoan are “fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become • brutish : ia. |P how say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the 4 son of ancient kings 12 Where are they where are thy wise men 2 and let them tell thee now, and let them know what the Lord of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. - 13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof. - 14 The LoRD hath mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to "err in every work thereof, as * a drunken man staggereth in his vomit. - 15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the "head or tail, branch or rush, may do. w 397 Egypt's confusion and captivity. 16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women ; and it shall be afraid and fear, because of the ' shaking of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shaketh over it. 17 And the land of Judah shall be a “terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it. - 18 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and “swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction. 19 In that day shall there be an "altar to the LORD in the midst of * the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof * to the LoRD. - 20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LoRD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall “cry unto the LoRD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a “ saviour, and a “great one, and he shall de- liver them. 21 And the LoRD shall be "known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do * sacrifice and oblation ; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the Lorp, and perform it. 22 And the LoRD shall “ smite Egypt: he shall smite and heal it : and they shall 'return even to the Lord, and he shall be entreated of them, and shall heal them. 23 || In that day shall there be a "highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and \he Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a "blessing in the midst of the land: 25 Whom the LoRD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt" my people, and Assyria the "work of my hands, and Israel mine 4 inheritance. - CHAPTER.

And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LoRD, Set thy house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then Hezekiah" turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LoRD, 406 Hezekiah's song of thanksgiving 3 And said, “Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good "in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept Sore. . 4 * Then came “the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God; of David thy father, I have ‘heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6 And I will "deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be a ‘sign unto thee from the LoRD,'. that the LoRD will do this thing that he hath spoken ; 8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun-dial of Ahaz ten degrees ISAIAH.

The ‘living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the “father to the children shall make known thy truth. - 20 The Lord was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments * all the days of our “life in the house of the Lord. 21 For Isaiah had "said, Let them take a jump of figs, and lay it for a plaster upon the bile, and he shall recover. 22 Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall * go up to the house of the LoRD !

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: 3. when thou walkest through the “fire, thou shalt not be .."burned ; meither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: "I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast" precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee : therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. - 5 Fear not; for I am with thee : I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the 8 west : - 6 I will say to the h north, ‘Give up ; and to the south, * Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daugh- ters from the ends of the earth ; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I ºhave created him for " my glory, I have formed him; ... lyea, I have made him. 8 *|| "Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and º, the deaf that have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled : who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be "justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth. 10 Ye are my P witnesses, saith the LoRD, and my ser- |vant whom I have chosen : that ye may know and 4 be- lieve me, and understand that I am he before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LoRD ; and besides me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was " no strange god among you : therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LoRD, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was, ‘ I am he ; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand : I will work, and who shall let it ! 14 || Thus saith the LoRD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For "your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chalde- ans, whose cry is in the * ships. 15 I am the LoRD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. 16 Thus saith the LoRD, which maketh ‘a way in the sea, and * a path in the mighty waters; 17 Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the arm and the power; they shall lie down together, they . * not rise : they are extinct, they are quenched as * tow. 18 “Remember ye not the former things, neither con sider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do “a new thing; now it shall spring forth ; shall ye not know it! I will even make a way in * the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. 20 The * beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls : because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. - 21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall "shew forth my praise. 3 F 409 The vanity of idols. 22 || But thou hast' not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast “been weary of me, O Israel. 23 Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt-offering; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offer- ing, nor wearied thee with incense. 24 Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast * wearied me with thine iniquities. v. 25 I, even I, am he that "blotteth out thy transgressions for mine “ own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 26 P. Put me in remembrance : let us" plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. X- 27 Thy first father hath sinned, and thy "teachers have transgressed against me. - 28 Therefore I have profaned ‘the princes of the sanc- tuary, and have given Jacob to the "curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Y whom I have chosen : 2 Thus saith the LoBD that " made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, * Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 3 For I will "pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground : I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring : 4 And they shall “spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water-courses. 5 * One shall say, I am the $LORD’s ; and another shall * call himself by the name of Jacob ; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname him- self by the name of Israel. 6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his Re- deemer the LoRD of hosts; I am the ‘first, and I am the last ; and besides me there is no God. * 7 And who, as I, shall “call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the 'ancient peo- ple and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. 8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid : have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it 2 ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me ! yea, there is “no God ; I know not any. 9 * They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable "things shall "not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know, that they may be ashamed. 10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is “profitable for nothing 7 .* If Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed : and the workmen, they are of men : let them all be gathered to- gether, let them stand up ; yet they shall fear, and they shall be Pashamed together. 12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, " he is hungry, and his strength faileth : he drinketh no water, and is faint. 13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he mark- eth it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house. 14.

[mention of my name. 2 And he hath made “my mouth like a sharp sword ; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a "polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me; 3 And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O “Israel, in whom I will be “glorified. 4 Then I said, I have laboured $ in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain; yet surely "my judgment is with the LoRD, and my work with my God. 5 *| And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be ‘not gathered, yet shall I be “glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be 'my strength. 6 And he said, It is a "light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to re- store the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. * 7 Thus saith the LoRD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man " despiseth, to him whom the "nation abhorreth, to a P servant of rulers, * Kings u Gen. 2.

Incline your ear, “and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an "everlasting covenant with you, even & the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a "witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou “knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Is- rael; for he hath 'glorified thee. 6 || Seek ye the LoRD "while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near : * 7 Let the "wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his “ thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will "abundantly pardon. 8 *|| For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are "your ways my ways, saith the LoRD. - 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my “thoughts than your thoughts. - - - 10 For as the ‘rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but "watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give “seed to the sower, and bread to the eater : - 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not 3 return unto me void, but it shall ac- complish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. - 12 For ye shall “go out with joy, and be led forth with peace : * the mountains and the hills shall break forth be- fore you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle-tree : and it shall be to the LoRD for “a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. CHAPTER LVI. The prophet exhorteth to sanctification, 1: He promiseth it shall be general without respect to persons, 3: He inveigheth against blind watchmen, 9. Tº: Saith the LORD, Keep ye “judgment, and do jus- tice : for my salvation is near to come, and my * righteousness to be revealed. - 2 Blessed is the man that “ doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that "keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 3 * Neither let the son of the “stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LoRD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eu- much say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the 8 eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that "please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in my ‘house and within my walls, a place and a name * better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6 Also the sons of the stranger, that ‘join themselves A 13 Instead of the "thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and 415 God reproveth the Jews for waolatry.

But your iniquities have "separated between you and your God, and your sins have ‘hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For "your hands are defiled with blood, and your fin- gers withiniquity; your lips have spoken “lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 * None calleth for justice, nor any & pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they "conceive mis- chief, and bring forth iniquity. 5 They hatch cockatrice's eggs, and weave the “spi- der's web : he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. 7 Their "feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. 8 The way of peace they know not ; and there is "no judgment in their goings: they have made them "crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. 9 * Therefore is Pjudgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait 4 for light, but behold obscu- rity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon-day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

In the ways hast thou ‘sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms, and with thy wickedness. 3 Therefore the * showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst "a whore’s forehead, thou ‘refusedst to be ashamed. 4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, “My father, thou art the 'guide of my youth'ſ 5 Will he reserve his anger "for ever ! will he keep it to the end ? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things * as thou couldest. 6 * The Lord said also unto me in the days of "Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath dome 1 she is gone up upon every Phigh mountain, and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. 7 And I said after she had done all these things, 4 Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacher- ous * sister Judah saw it. 8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby back- sliding Israel committed adultery, I had “put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Ju dah "feared not, but went and played the harlot also. 9 And it came to pass through the “lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adul- tery with 3 stones and with stocks. 10 And yet for all this, her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but ‘feignedly, saith the Lord. 11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified “herself more than treacherous Judah. 12 "I Go and proclaim these words toward the * north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LoRD ;|s and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am * merciful, saith the LoRD, and I will not keep anger “for €Vér. 13 Only “acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast “scat- tered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the Lord. 14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LoRD ; for I am," married unto you; and I will take you & one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: JEREMIAH.

HE word that came to Jeremiah from the LoRD, saying, 2 * Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; 3 And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LoRD God of #.|Israel; "Cursed be the man that “obeyeth not the words 1. of this covenant, 4 Which I commanded “your fathers in the day that I #|brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the .." iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, ac- cording to all which I command you : so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: 5 That I may “perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk ;"|and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, * So be it, O Lord. 6 Then the LoRD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusa- lem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and * do them. 7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, "rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my VOIC62. 8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the ‘imagination of their evil heart: there- fore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. 9 And the Lord said unto me, “A conspiracy is found |among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of ..Jerusalem. 10 They are turned pack to the miquities of their fore- fathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went "after other gods to serve them : the house of Israel and , the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. 11 * Therefore thus saith the LoRD, Behold, I will bring "evil upon them which they shall not be able to ° escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will P not hearken unto them. 12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Je. rusalem "go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense : but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble. - 13 For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that ‘shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal. 14 Therefore ‘pray not thou for this people, neither lift . up a cry or prayer for them : for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. 15 What hath my beloved "to do in my house, seeing. she hath wrought lewdness * with many; and the holy 427 Prosperity of the wicked. flesh is passed from thee! when thou doest evil, then thou * rejoicest. - 16 The LoRD called thy name, “A green olive-tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken. 17 For the Lord of hosts, that "planted thee, hath: pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done; against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal. 18 °. And the LoRD hath given me “knowledge of it, and I know it : then thou she wedst me their doings. 19 But I was like "a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had “devised: devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be ‘no more remembered. 20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that... & triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them : for unto thee have I revealed "my cause, 21 Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Ana- thoth, that seek thy life, saying, * Prophesy not in the name of the LoRD, that thou die not by our hand : 22 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the Sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine : 23 And there shall be no remnant of them : for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of * their visitation.

This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and "walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 11 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord ; that they might be unto me for * a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory : but they would not hear. 12 || Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with "wine : and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly "know that every bottle shall be filled with wine ! 13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem," with drunk €I]]|}{2SS. 428 Jeremiah's prayer for the people 14 And I will dash them P one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD : I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, " but destroy them. 15 ºf Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LoRD hath spoken. 16 ° Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark; mountains, and while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall " weep in se- cret places for your pride; and mine eyes shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is car- ried away captive. 18 ° Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble your- selves, sit down : for your principalities shall come down, even the 3 crown of your glory. 19 The * cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them : Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive. 20 Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north : where is the flock that was “given thee, thy beautiful flock 'l 21 What wilt thou say when he shall" punish thee 1 for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee : shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail '! 22 || And if thou say in thy heart, Wherefore come these things upon me !

The ruin of the Jews foretold. 3 For thus saith the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concern- ing their fathers that begat them in this land: 4 They shall die of grievous deaths; .they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their “car. casses shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. 5 For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them : for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even loving-kindness and mercies. 6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor "cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them: 7 Neither shall men “tear themselves for them in mourn- ing, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to * drink for their father or for their mother. - 8 Thou shalt not also go into the ‘house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink. 9 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place 5 in your eyes, and in your days, the voice" of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride. 10 *| And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, ‘Wherefore hath the LoRD pronounced all this great evil : against us" or “what is our iniquity ? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LoRD our God? 11 Then shalt thou say unto them, "Because your fa- thers have forsaken me, saith the LoBD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have wor- shipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law; º 12 And ye have * done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may "not hearken unto me: ! 13 Therefore will I " cast you out of this land into land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and c Ps. 79. 2, ch. 34. 20. dLv. 25.5,6.

CHAPTER XVI. The prophet, whder the types of abstaining from marriage, from houses % mourning and feasting, foresheveth the utter ruin of the Jews, 1, ecause they were worse than their fathers, 10: Their return from cap- tivity shall be stranger than their deliverance out of Egypt, 14: God will doubly recompense their idolatry, 16. tº HE word of the LoRD came also unto me, saying, 2 Thou shalt “not take thee a wife, neithér shaltſ; thou have sons ° nor daughters in this place. h Isa. 24. 7. ich. 5. 19. k Mal. 2.17. & 3. 13.

The captuvity of Judah for her sin, 1. Trust in man is cursed, 5, in God is blessed, 7. The deceitful heart cannot deceive God, 9. The salva- tion of God, 12. The prophet complaineth of the mockers of his pro- phecy, 15: He is sent to renew the covenant in hallowing the sabbath, 19. HE sin of Judah is written with a “pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond : it is graven "upon the table of their heart, and upon the “horns of your altars; 2. Whilst their children remember their altars and their “groves by the green trees upon the “high hills. 3 O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders. 4 And thou, even thyself, shalt & discontinue from thy heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled "a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever. | 5 || Thus saith the LoRD ; Cursed be the man that * trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LoRD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall *not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the 'parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that "trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as "a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green ; and shall not be careful in the year of "drought, neither shall "cease from yielding fruit. 9 || The heart is deceitful 4 above all things, and * des- perately wicked : who can know it ! - 10. I the LORD ‘search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 11 As the partridge sittethom eggs, and hatcheth them not; 80 he "that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. 12 "A glorious high throne from the beginning is theſ. place of our Sanctuary. 13 O Lorlo, the hope of Israel, all that “forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be ... Written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. 14 "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed ; save me, and I shall be saved : for thou art my praise. 15 "I Behold, they say unto me, ‘Where is the word of the LoRD ! let it come now. 16.

Then shall there enter into the gates of this city * kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, rid- ing in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem : and this city shall remain for ever. 26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the ‘land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the "south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sa- crifices, and meat-offerings, and incense, and “bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the Lord. 27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sab- bath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day ; then will I “kin dle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the pala ces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

HE word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 * Arise, and go down to " the potter’s house, and * there I will cause thee to hear my words. 3 Then "I went down to the potter’s house, and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that “he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter : so he made it again another ves- sel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. - 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you 8 as this pot- ter'ſ saith the LoRD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, "so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, land to destroy it : 8 If that nation against whom I have pronounced, " turn from their evil, I will 'repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the "good, where with I said I would benefit them. * 11 * Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LoRD ; Behold, "I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: * return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. . 12 And they said, There is no hope : but "we will "walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. - - 13 Therefore thus saith the LoRD ; * Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the "virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 14 Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which comeſh - 43} The Jews' desolation foretold. from the rock of the field 1 or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken 4 15 Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have "caused them to stumble in their ways from the * ancient paths, to Walk in paths, in a way not cast up; º 16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hiss- ing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head. 17 I will scatter them as with an “east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. • -> 18 iſ " Then said they, Come, and let us * devise devi- ces against Jeremiah ; for the "law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the ‘tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. - 19 Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the Voice of them that contend with me. 20 Shall evil be recompensed for good for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and * to turn away thy wrath from them. 21 Therefore * deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword ; and lettheir wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death ; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle. 22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them : for they have k digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet. 23 Yet, LoRD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: 'forgive not their iniquity, neither "blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown be- fore thee ; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

Then said Jere- miah unto him, The LoRD hath not called thy name Pa- "shur, but “Magor-missabib. 4 For thus saith the LoRD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends : and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and # thine eyes shall behold it : and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword. 5 Moreover I will deliver all the * strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the ‘treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon. 6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied “ lies. 7 * O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was "de- ceived: thou art " stronger than I, and hast prevailed : I am in * derision daily, every one mocketh me. 8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LoRD was made a reproac unto me, and a derision, daily. 9 Then I P said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name.

Ye shall not be unpunished : for I will call for "a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts. 30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The Lord shall roar from Yon high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar * upon his habitation ; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. 31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth ; for the LoRD “ hath a controversy with the nations, " he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LoRD. 32 Thus saith the LoRD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and * a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. 33 And the "slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried ; they shall be * dung upon the ground. w 34 "I" Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow your- selves in the ashes, ye * principal of the flock : for the "days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are ac- complished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 35 And the shepherds shall have “no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36 “A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard : for the LoRD hath spoiled their pasture. 37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the 'fierce anger of the LoRD JEREMIAH.

N the “beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LoRD, Say Ing, 2 Thus saith the LORD ; Stand in the * court of the LORD’s house, and speak unto “all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them ; diminish not a word : 3 If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may "repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings. 4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LoRD, If ye will “not hearken to me to walk in my law, which I have set before you, 5 To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both * rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened ; 6 Then will I make & this house like Shiloh, and will make this city "a curse to all the nations of the earth. 7 So the ' priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD. * * *. - 8 *| Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to ‘speak unto all the people, that the priests and the pro- phets and * all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die. ..~. 9 Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LoRD, saying, This house shall be "like Shiloh, and this city shall And all the people were gathered "against Jeremiah in the house of the LoBD 10 * When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king’s house unto the house of the LoRD, and sat down in the “entry of the P new gate of the Lorp’s house. 11 Then spake the 4 priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 12 * Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes, and to all the people, saying, The LoRD “sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. & 13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LoRD your God; and the LoRD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 14 As for me, behold, "I am in your hand: do with me * as seemeth good and meet unto you : 15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death; ye shall surely bring 3 innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the Lord hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. - 16 | *Then said the “princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die : for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD Our God. e -- 17 Then rose up certain of the "elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying, - - 18 Micah the “Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and’spake to all the people of 436 Sundry prophecies. Judah, saying, Thus saith the LoRD of hosts; "Zion shall JEREMIAH | B.

CHAPTER XXVII. Under the type % bonds and yokes he prophesieth the Subduing of the neighbouring kings unto Nebuchadnezzar, 1: He exhortéth them to yield, and not to believe the false prophets, 8: The like he doeth, to Zedekiah, 12: He foretelleth the remnant of the vessels shall be carried to Babylon, and there continue until the day of visitation, 19. I' the beginning of the reign “ of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LoRD, saying, 2 Thus saith the LoRD to me; Make thee "b yokes, and put them upon thy neck, : 3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which “come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah; < * 4 And command them to say unto their m Saith the "Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Thus shall ye say unto your masters; 5 I have made the “earth, the man and the beasts that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my out- stretched arm, and have * given it unto whom it s seemed meet unto me. 6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, "my servant; and the ‘beasts of the field have I given him also to Serve him. - 7 And all nations shall serve him, and his * son, and his Son’s son, until the very " time of his land come : and * many nations and great kings shall "serve them- selves of him. 8 And it shall come to pass, that the nation and king- dom Which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under onds and the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, & *th the Lord, with the sword, and with the famine, and; lº the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his 9 Therefore hearken not ye to your “prophets, nor to Yºur diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchant- €TS, nor to Y your sorcerers, º not serv which speak unto you, saying, e the king of Babylon : 0 For they prophesy Pá lie unto you, to "remove you { | asters, Thus, e 2 Kings 22, 16.

Hananiah prophesieth falsely the return of the vessels and of Jeconºah, 1. Jeremiah, wishing it to be true, sheweth that the event will declare who are true prophets, 5, Hananiah breaketh Jeremiah’s yoke, 10. º telleih of an iron yoke, 12, and foretelleth Hamaniah’s death, 15. Y ND it came to pass the same year, in “the beginning A of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the "prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LoRD, in the presence of the priests, and of all the people, saying, . 2 * Thus speaketh the LoRD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two full years will I “bring again into this place all the vessels of the LoRD’s house, that Nebuchad- mezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon. 4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the “captives of Ju. dah, that went into Babylon, saith the LoRD ; for I will * break the yoke of the king of Babylon 487 Jeremiah's letter to the 5 * Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the pre- sence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD, 6 Even the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen : the LoRD; do so : the Lord perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LoRD’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place. 7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this word that I Speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people ; - 8 The "prophets that have been before me and before thee of old, prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence. 9 The prophet which prophesieth of “peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LoRD hath truly sent him. 10 * Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from * off the prophet Jeremiah’s neck, and "brake it. 11 And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the peo- ple, saying, Thus saith the Lord ; “Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the P space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah 4 went his way. 12 * Then the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, Saying, 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LoRD ; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. 14 For thus saith the LoRD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these na- tions, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Ba- bylon; and they shall serve him : and I have given him the ‘beasts of the field also. 15 ºf Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah|c the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah ; the LorD hath not; sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith the LoRD ; Behold, I will " cast thee from off the face of the earth : this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD. 17 So Hananiah the prophet 3 died the same year in the seventh month. w - CHAPTER XXIX. Jeremiah sendeth a letter to the captives in Babylon, to be quiet there, 1, and not to believe the dreams of their prophets, 8, and that they shall return with grace after seventy years, 10: He foretelleth the destruc- tion of the rest for their disobedience, 15: He sheweth the fearful end of Ahab and Zedekiah, two lying prophets, 20. , Shemaiah writeth a etter against Jeremiah, 24. Jeremiah readeth his doom, 30. TOW these are the words of the “letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residuel: of the elders which were carried away "captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom|. Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; - 2 (After that “ Jeconiah the king, and the "queen, and the “eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the Smiths, were departed from Je- rusalem;) ~ - 3. By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Ge- mariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah. * sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying, 4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have * caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; 5 Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gar- dens, and eat the fruit of them ; - JEREMIAH.

Jeremiah, for their diso- bedience, giveth them and Zedekiah into the hands of their enemies, 12. HE word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, * when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people fought against Jerusalem, and against * all the cities thereof, saying, 2 Thus saith the LoRD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LoRD ; Behold, “I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire: 3 And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee "mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon. 4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah ; Thus saith the Lord of thee, Thou shalt “not die by the sword : - -- 5 But thou shalt die in peace : and with the ‘ burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will 4 lament thee, saying, Ah lord for I have pronounced the word, saith the Lord. 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto "Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem, tº 7 When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that Were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah : for these “de- fenced cities remained of the cities of Judah. 8 * This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LoRD, after that the king Zedekiah had “made a cover nant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to pro- let his man-servant, and 9 That ever hould at every man snou He- to wit, of a Jew * his brother. - 242 Zedekiah delivered up to the enemy. 10 Now when all the princes, and all the people which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his man-servant, and every one his maid-servant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go. 11 But "afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and P brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. * 12 * Therefore the word of the LoRD came to Jere- miah, from the LORD, saying, 13 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them fortn out 4 of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond- men, saying, . 14 " At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother a Hebrew, which hath been * sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee; but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 15 And ye were ‘now turned, and had done right in my & sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in "the house which is called by my name : 16 But ye turned and * polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for ser- Wants and for handmaids. 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; Ye have not heark- ened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I 'pro- claim a liberty for you, saith the LoRD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine ; and I will make you to be * removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 18 And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the co- venant which they had made before me, when they “cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof, 19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the * priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf; 20 I will even give them into the hand of their ene- mies, and into the hand of them that seek their life : and their ‘dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth. 21 And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of JEREMIAH | B.

Baruch writeth a new copy, 32. * ND it came to pass in the “fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 443 Baruch writeth Jeremah's prophecy. 2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein "all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even "unto this day. 3 * It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them ; that they may return every man from his “evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin. 4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah : and Baruch “wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LoRD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book. - * 5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up, I cannot go into the house of the LORD : 6 Therefore go thou and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LoRD in the ears of the people in the LoRD’s house upon the * fasting day : and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Ju- dah that come out of their cities. 7. It may be they will "present their supplication before the Lord, and will 'return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LoRD hath pronounced against his people. 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LoRD in the Lord’s house. 9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed * a fast before the LoRD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem. 10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jere- miah in the house of the LoRD, in the chamber of Gema- riah the son of Shaphan " the scribe, in the "higher court, ; ; at the entry of the * new gate of the LoRD’s house, in the ears of all the people. 11 * When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shapham, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD, - 12 Then he went down into the king’s house, into the P scribe’s chamber : and lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes. 13 Then Michaiah 4 declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people. - 14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Ne- thaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Ba- ruch, saying, Take in thy hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 15 And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it * in their ears. 16 Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were “afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words. 17 And they asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth 'l 18 Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book. 19 Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, % thou and Jeremiah ; and let no man know where ye be. 20 | And they went in to the king into the court, but they “laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the JEREMIAH.

And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire : so Jeremiah sunk in the mire. | 7 || Now when Ebed-melech the “Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was " in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin ; - 8 Ebed-melech went forth out of the king’s house, and ° spake to the king, saying, 9 My lord the king, P these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city. 10 Then the king "commanded Ebed-melech the Ethio- pian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die. 11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took ...thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them º; down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah. - 12 And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, "|Put now these old cast clouts and "rotten rags "under thine arm-holes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so, 13 So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon ; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the ‘prison. - 14 || Then Zedekiah the king sent, and "took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the * third entry that is in the house of the Lord : and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; “hide nothing from me. - 15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely “put me to death 4 and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou " not hearken unto me ! 16 So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, ſls the Lord liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. 17 Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LoRD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt ;|assuredly “go forth unto the king of Babylon’s princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house : 18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon’s princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt "not escape out of their hand. 19 And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, “I am .afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. 20 But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee.

Then it shall come to pass, that the Sword, which "ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die. 17 ° So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there ; they shall die "by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them. 18 For thus saith the LoRD of hosts, the God of Israel ;|| As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt; and ye shall be “an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 19 || The LoRD hath said concerning you, O ye rem- nant of Judah; go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day. 20 For ye & dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LoRD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LoRD our God; and according unto all that the LoRD Our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it. 21 And now I have this day " declared it to you ; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LoRD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you. 22 Now therefore “know certainly that ye shall “die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn. CHAPTER XLIII. Johanan discrediting Jeremiah’s prophecy, carrieth Jeremiah and others into Egypt, 1. Jeremiah prophesieth by a type the conquest of Egypt by the Babylonians, 8. w ND it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an f end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LoRD their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, even all these words, 2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the “proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest "falsely : the LoRD Our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there : 8 But “Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that * they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. 4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, “obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to * dwell in the land of Judah. f 5 But f Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains JEREMIAH B.

The desolation of Judah of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were Te turned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ; 6 Even men, and women, and children, and the "king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the cap- tain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahi- kam the son of Shaphan, and "Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah. 7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obey- ed not the voice of the LoRD : thus came they even to * Tahpanhes. 8 * * Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, ~. 9 Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln, which is " at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 10 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; Behold, I will send and take Nebu- chadrezzar the king of "Babylon, my servant, and will ° set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them. 11 And when he cometh, he shall P Smite the land of Egypt, and deliver 4 such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword. 12 And I will kindle a fire in the ‘houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shalſ array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence "in peace. 13. He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. CHAPTER XLIV. - Jeremiah expresseth, the desolation of Judah for their idolatry, 1. He prophesieth their destruction who commit idolatry in Egypt, 11. The obstimacy of the Jews, 15. Jeremiah threateneth ihem for the same, 20, and for a sign prophesieth the destruction of Egypt, 29. HE jºthat came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at “Migdol, and at "Tahpanhes, and at "Noph, and in the country of "Pathros, saying, - 2 Thus saith the LoRD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah ; and behold, this day they are * a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein; 3 Because of their wickedness which they have com- mitted to provoke me to anger, in that they went to * burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. 4 Howbeit, I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, "rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. e 5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto othergods: 6 Wherefore ‘my fury and mine anger was poure forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem ; and they are wasted and desolate, * as at this day. -- 7 Therefore now thus saith the LoRD, the God of hosts: the God of Israel; "Wherefore commit ye this great evil * against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain ; 8 In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the "works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be "a curse and * n ch. 25. 6 to ch. 42. 18. chap. 7. 19. reproach among all the nations of the earth'ſ 9 Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers. ! 448 The Jews are threatened. and the wickedness of the Pkings of Judah, and the wick- edness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem " 10 They are not “humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, " nor walked in my law, nor in my sta-ſh tutes, that I set before you and before your fathers. w 11 || Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 12 And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have "set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine : they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine : and they shall be ‘an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach. - 13 For I will punish them that dwell in the land of; Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: 14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, * shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there :; for none shall return but such as shall escape. 15 *| Then “all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jere-É. miah, saying, 16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LoRD, 7 we will not hearken unto thee. 17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing * goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the * queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and "our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of “victuals, and Were "well, and saw no evil. - .** 18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto her, we have * Wanted all things, and have been consumed by the SWOrd and by the famine. - 19 And "when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink-offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink-offer-l. Ings unto her, É without our men'ſ 20 * Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying, 21. The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers, your Kings and your princes, and the people of the land, did not; the Lond remember them, and came it not into his mind! 32 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations: Which ye have committed; ºtherefore is your land a deso- lation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an in- habitant, as at this day. * Because ye have burned incense, and because ye Yºice of the LoRD, nor walked in his law, nor in his sta- tutes, nor in his testimonies ; therefore this evil is hap- Pºd unto you, as at this day. º *4 Moreover, Jeremiah said unto al all the women, dré in the lan l the people, and to d of Egypt: 35 Thus saith the LoRD of hosts, the God of Israel,. have sinned against the LoRD, and have not obeyed theſ.

CHAPTER LI. The severe judgment of God against Babylon in revenge of Israel, 1 Jeremiah delivereth the book of this ſº to Seraiah, to be cast into Euphrates, in token of the perpetual sinking of Babylon, 59. HUS saith the LoftD; Behold, f{i raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up * against me, * a destroying wind; 2 And will send unto Babylon, “fanners that shall fan her, and shall "empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about. 3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that meºmself up in his brigandine • God’s severe judgment against Babylon and “spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host. -- 4 Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets. 5 For Israel hath not been “forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LoRD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. 6 & Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord’s vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense. 7 Babylon hath been " a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunken : the nations have drunken of her wine ; therefore the nations are mad. 8 Babylon is "suddenly fallen and destroyed : " howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. 9 * We would have healed Babylon, but she * is not healed : forsake her, and 4 let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. 10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness : come, and let us * declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God. 11 Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LoRD hath “raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the "vengeance of the LoRD, the vengeance of his temple. 12 Set up the *standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the am- bushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that. which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon. 13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the * measure of thy covetousness. 14 The LoRD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with “caterpillars; and they shall "lift up a shout against thee. 15 He hath * made the earth by his power, he hath es- #3 tablished the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched outs the heaven by his understanding. 16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the “vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth : he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 17 Every man is ° brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten; image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 18 They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. - - 19 & The Portion of Jacob is " not like them ; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inherit- ance : the Lord of hosts is his name. 20 Thou art my battle-axe, and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; - 21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the * chariot and his rider; 22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will Ibreak in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee " the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the hus- bandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 24 And I will renderunto Babylon and to all the inhabit- ants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done * in Zion In your sight, saith the LORD JEREMIAH.

42 The * sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. • * T 43 Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilder- ness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby. - 2 º 44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath * swallowed up ; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall. 45 My people, “go ye out of the midst of her, and de- liver ye every man his soul from the "fierce anger of the LoRD. .' *** 46 And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour 454 God’s judgments on Babylon. that shall be heard in the land ; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in * another year shall come a ru- mour, and violence in the land, "ruler against ruler. 47 Therefore behold, the days come, that I will do judg- ment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. 48 Then the “heaven and the earth, and all that is there- in, shall sing for Babylon : for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD. 49 As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth. 50 Ye that have & escaped the sword, go away, "stand not still: remember the LoRD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind. 51 We are confounded, because we have heard re- proach: shame hath covered our faces; for * strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord’s house. 52 Wherefore behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan. 53 Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord. 54 A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great * destruction from the land of the Chaldeans: - 55 Because the LoRD hath spoiled Babylon, and de- stroyed out of her the "great voice: when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered : 56 Because the “spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their- bows is broken : for the LoRD God P of recompences shall Surely 4 requite. 57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise JEREMIAH.

The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these. 23 And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the net-work were a hundred round about. 24 || And the "captain of the guard took Seraiah the three keepers of the door : - 25 He took also out of the city a eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and 'seven men of them that "were near the king’s person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mus- tered the people of the land ; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city. % So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah. 27 And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath.

O LoBD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath * magnified himself. , 10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should “not enter into thy congregation.

Is It meet for any work 1 5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work : * how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned 4 6 * Therefore thus saith the Lord GoD ; * As the vine- tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 And I will set my face against them ; they shall go Out from 5 one fire, and another fire shall devour them ; and ye shall know that I am the LoRD, when I set my face against them. 8 And I will make the land * desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GoD.

CHAPTER XXIV. Under the parable of a boiling pot, 1, is shewed the destruction of Jeru- salem, 6. By the sign of Ezekiel not mourning for the death of his wife, 15, is shewed the calamity of the Jews to be beyond all sorrow, 19. | GAIN in the “ ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came * unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of #|this same day : the king of Babylon" set himself against #"Jerusalem this same day. 3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GoD ; Set on “a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: 4 "Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every “good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it 8 boil well, and let them see the the bones of it therein. 6 * Wherefore thus saith the Lord GoD ; Wo to the "bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it ! bring it out piece by piece; * let no lot fall upon it. - - 7. For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the 'top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust ; - 8 That it might cause fury to come up " to take ven- geance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GoD; Wo to the bloody city I will even make the pile for fire great. 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice " it well, and let the bones be burned. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the “filthi- ness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. 12 She hath wearied herself with Plies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. 13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because "I have purged |thee, and thou wast' not purged, thou shalt” not be purged from thy filthiness any more till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. 14 I the LoRD ‘have spoken it: it shall come to pass; and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will "| spare, neither will I repent; ‘according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thée, saith the Lord GoD. 15 ºf Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, . 16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the de. sire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou * mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 17 Forbear to cry, make “no mourning for the dead. bind "the tire of thy head upon thee, and put on thy shº. upon thy feet, and cover not thy “lips, and eat not the bread of men. 18 so I spake unto the people in the morning; and * * even my wife died; and I did in the morning" as I wº ‘i commanded. 474 God’s vengeance upon Moab. 19 || And the people said unto me, * Wilt thou not tell, us what these things are to us, that thou doest So? | 20 Then I answered them, The word of the LoRD came unto me, saying, | 21 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord e excel-fi...'...beast from it; ch. 33.10. GoD ; Behold, I will "profane my sanctuary, th lency of your strength, the ’ desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. . 22 And ye shall do as I have done : * ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet : ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. 24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you "a sign : according to all that he hath done shall ye do : and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD. 25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day; when I take from them " their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, 26 That he that “escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears 1 27 In that day shall thy "mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb : and thou shalt be " a sign unto them ; and they shall know that I am the LoRD.

A”. it came to pass in the “eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, "Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned “unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste : : 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GoD ; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause "many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. 4 And they shall destroy the “walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. f 5. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the ' midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. . 6 And her * daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that 1 am the LORD. 7 * For thus saith the Lord GoD ; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus, Nebuchadrezzar "king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, an: with horsemen, and companies, and much people. 8. He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field : and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast “la mount against thee, and liſt up the buckler against thee. 9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. 10 By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, "as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach. ll With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. 12 And they shall make * a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy 'merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant bouses: and they shall lay thy stones, and thv timber, and thv dust in the midst of the water. 475 The rich supply of Tyrus. 13 And I will cause the noise of thy “songs to cease and the sound of thy "harps shall be no more heard. 14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon ; thou shalt be built * no more : for I the LoRD have spoken it, saith the Lord GoD. - 15 Thus saith the Lord GoD to Tyrus; Shall not the P isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee 'l 16 Then all the "princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with "trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee. 17 And they shall take up a “lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited; of sea-faring men, the "renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their ter- ror to be on all that haunt it ! 18 Now, shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure. 19 For thus saith the Lord GoD ; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited ; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great wa- ters shall cover thee ; 20 When I shall bring thee down with them that de- scend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of. old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited ; and I shall set “glory in the land of the living ; 21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be “no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD. * CHAPTER XXVII.

But he that * taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned ; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away" in his iniq at the watchman’s hand. 7 *|| So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel ; therefore thou shalt hear the word ' at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand. - 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shalſ die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 10 || Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the a ch. 18. 25. uity; but his blood will I requireſ; house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, “If our trans- gressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them 'how should we then live - ! 36 16 EZEKIEL.

L 7 * Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the ORD ; 8 As I live, saith the Lord GoD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my 'shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; - 9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; the shepherds; and I will " require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more ; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. - '. 11 ° For thus saith the Lord GoD ; Behold, I, even I, Will both "search my sheep, and seek them out. 12 "As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered ; so will I seek 90t my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather; them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the *Vers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. , 4 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed Upon the mountains of Israel. * I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to ‘lie down, saith the Lord Gop. 16, I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that & 4.

Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth of the midst of the fire. . 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had "no power, nor was * a hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on thern. 28. Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, ‘Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that “trusted in him, and have "changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might " not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore, I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: be- cause there is no other god that "can deliver after this sort, 30 Then the king "promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon. º CHAPTER IV. * Nebuchadnezzar confesseth God’s kingdom, I, maketh relation of his dream, which the magicians could not interpret, 4.

EBUCHADNEZZAR the king, * unto all people, na- |N tians, and languages, that dwell in all the earth ; * Peace be multiplied unto you. 2 * I thought it good to shew "the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought ° toward me. & 3 How great are his signs] and ‘how mighty are his 'wonders this kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is 4 from generation to generation. | 4 || I Nebuchadnezzar was "at rest in my house, and 'flourishing in my palace : 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughtº upon my bed and the visions of my head “ troubled me. 6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the Wise men of Babylon before me, that "they might make know" unto me the interpretation of the dream. 7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the drº, before them, but they did "not make known unto me the interpretation thereof. 494 Daniel unterpreteth Nebuchadnezzar's dream 8 || But " at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the "name of m god, and in whom is the "spirit of the holy gods; and before him I told the dream, saying, 9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. - 10 Thus were the visions of my head in my bed; I saw, and behold * a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was ‘great. 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof "reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth : - 12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all : the ‘beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. • . 13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and be- hold, a watcher and * a holy one came down from heaven; 14 He cried “aloud, and said thus, "Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts “get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches. 15 Nevertheless, "leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with “a band of iron and brass, in the tenderlić grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of hea- ven, and let his ‘portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. 16 Let his & heart be changed from man’s, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let "seven times|| pass over him. 17. This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may “know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the 'basest of men. 18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now || thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are "not able to make known unto me the interpretation : but ‘thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. 19 || Then Daniel, whose name was "Belteshazzar, was ‘Astonished for one hour, and his thoughts "troubled in him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Beiteshazzar answered, and said, My lord, the dream be to them that 'hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. 20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the Sight thereof to all the earth ; 21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation: 22 It is “ thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 23.

CHAPTERR. V. Belshazzar’s impious M. 1. A hand-writing, unknown to the magn- cians, troubleth the king, 5. At the commendation of the queen, Daniel is brought, 10. He reproving the king of pride and idolatry, 17, read- eth and inferpreteth the writing, 25. The montarchy is translated to the Medes, 30. ELSHAZZAR the king made “a great feast to a thou- sand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. 2 Belshazzar, while he "tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had “taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem ; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might "drink therein. 3 Then “they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem ; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. - 4 They drank wine, and * praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass. of iron, of wood, and of stone. 5 * In the "same hour came forth 'fingers of a man's 495 - Daniel reproveth Belshazzar. hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the “plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. • 6 Then the king's 'countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his “knees smote one against another. 7 The king cried aloud "to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the sooth-sayers. And the king spake and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the " third ruler in the kingdom. 8 Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not P read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. 9 Then was king Belshazzar "greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished. 10 || JNow, the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet-house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: "let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed : 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, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him ; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and sooth-Sayers: 12 Forasmuch as * an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and * dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. 13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, *.ſirt thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry'ſ 14 I have even ‘ heard of thee, that the "spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and ex- cellent wisdom is found in thee. - 15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, “that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not ‘shew the interpretation of the thing: 16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make in- terpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be * clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. - 17. " Then Daniel answered and said before the king, f.et thy." gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to ano. ther ; , yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. 18 "O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchad- nezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour : - 19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, "trembled and feared before him : whom he would he slew ; and whom he would he "kept alive ; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would put down. 20 But when his “ heart was lifted up, and his mind har- ened in pride, he was " deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him : 21 A ºld he was " driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts’, and his dwelling was with the wi'd asses : they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that DANIEI, B.

DANIEL His vision of the four beasts. ºº:: CHAPTER VII. Daniel's vision of four beasts, 1, of God's kingdom, 9. The interpreta- . lion thereof, 15. - º the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel 'H. had a “ dream and visions of his head upon his bed : then he " wrote the dream, “ and told the Sum of the mat- terS. - - . . . . 2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the "four winds of the heaven strove upon the * great sea. 3 And four great beasts * came up from the sea, di. 4 The first was "like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it. - 5 And behold another beast, * a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had " three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and " they said thus unto it, Arise, * devour much flesh. 6 After this, I beheld, and lo, P another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl ; the beast had also 4 four heads; and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the might visions, and behold * a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had "great iron teeth : it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ' ten horns. .. . 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another "little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and * a mouth 7 speaking great things. -- 9 * I beheld till the thrones were “cast down, and the |*Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool : his throne was like the fiery flame, and * his wheels as burn- ing fire. - * "A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him : * thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him : the judg- ment was set, and the "books were opened. 1. 11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great |words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the “burn- ing flame. - - 12 As concerning the * rest of the beasts, they had their & dominion taken away : yet their lives were "prolonged for a season and time. - 13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the * Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, “and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him 'dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom, that which shall not be destroyed. *. - 15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. 16 I " came near unto one of them that stood by, and "asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and “made me know the interpretation of the things. - 17 These great beasts, which are four, are four *kings, which shall 4 arise out of the earth. 18 But the saints of the Most High shall take the king- dom, and 'possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and 3 R 497 Baniel's vision of the ram, and he-goat. 19 Then I would know * the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dread- ful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet ; * - X- 20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, ‘whose look was more stout than his fellows. s 21 I beheld, and the same horn " made war with the saints, and prevailed against them ; 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and ‘judgment was given to the saints of the Most High ; and ' the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. 23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the ‘fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all king- doms, and shall “devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. * - 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are "ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. - --- 25 And he shall speak great words " against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most H igh, and think to "change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand * until a time and times and the dividing of time. 26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be * given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose king- dom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. 28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my "coun- tenance changed in me : but I kept the matter in my 'heart. * . CHAPTER VIII. - Daniel's vision of the ram, and he-goat, 1. The two thousand three hundred days of sacrifice, 13. Gabriel comforteth Daniel, and water- preteth the vision, 15. - IN the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, * even unto me Daniel, "after that which appeared unto me at the first. - 2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I “ was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of " Elam ; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. 3 Then I “lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river "a ram which had 8 two horns: and the two horns were high ; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. . - 4 I saw the ram pushing "westward, and northward, and southward ; so that no ‘beasts might stand be- fore him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did “according to his will, and became reat. - g 5 And as I was considering, behold, a 'he-goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched * not the ground : and the goat had "a notable horn be- tween his eyes. 6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and * ran unto him in the fury of his power. - * ~ 7 And I saw him come chose unto the ram, and he was * moved with choler against him, and smote the ram and = z ch.

Gabriel writerpreteth the vision brake his two horns: and there was " no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him ; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 8 Therefore, the he-goat waxed very great: and when he was "strong, the great horn was broken ; and for it, came up ‘four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. . 9 And out of one of them came forth "a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and to- Ward the east, and toward the “pleasant land. 10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the * stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. 11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the * prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, " and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12 And a host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down “the truth to the ground; and it practised, and * prospered. - 13 * Then I heard “one saint speaking, and another saint said unto “that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the trans- gression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot 7 14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be 8 cleansed. 15 *| And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, "and sought for the meaning, then behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. 16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, “Gabriel, * make this man to understand the vision. - 17 So he came near where I stood : and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall |be the vision. 18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he 'touched me, and "set me upright. - 19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the "last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. & 20 The ram which thou sawest having the "kings of Media and Persia. - 21 And the Prough goat is the king of “Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas ‘four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but two horns dré "not in his power. 23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, 'a king of fierce countenance, and "understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. - 24 And his ‘power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall pros- per, and practise, and shall 5 destroy the “mighty and the holy people. - - 25 And through his “policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall "magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shalf destroy many : he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken “without hand. e 26, And the vision of the evening and the morning iwhich was told * is true: wherefore * shut thou up the Wi- sion; for it shall be for many days. - 27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days: afterward I rose up, and did the 5 king’s business ; and I g chap. 6.4, 5. #Ps. 39 1. was astonished at the vision, "but none understood it 498 Daniel's confession and prayer.

CHAPTER X. Daniel having humbled himself, seeth a vision, 1 : being troubled with fear, he is comforted by the angel, 10. N the third year of Cyrus king of Persia " a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belte- shazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was " long : and he “understood the thing, and had under- standing of the vision. 2 In those days I Daniel was “mourning three full weeks. 3 I ate no “pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. - 4 And in the four and twentieth day of the “first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is "Hiddekel; 5 Then I liſted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold 'a certain man * clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: 6 His body also was like the beryl, and his 'face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude, 7 And I Daniel " alone saw the vision : for the men that were with me saw not the vision ; but a great quaky 9 Pet. J 19. il Gen. 3, 10 ! ing fell upon them, so that they "fled to hide themselves 499 The overthrow of Persia. 8 Therefore I was left alone and saw this great vision, and there remained "no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 9 P. Yet heard I the voice of his words : and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face 4 toward the ground. 10 *| And behold, a hand touched me, which set me| upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands, 11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, * a man greatly be- loved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and ‘stand upright : for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. 12. Then said he unto me, "Fear not, Daniel : for * from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia “with- stood me one and twenty days: but lo, “ Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. - 14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the "latter days : for yet the vision is for many days. ** 15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. 16 And behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men “touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, "by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. 17 For how can the * servant of this my lord talk with this my lord 1 for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. 18 Then there came * again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he "strengthened me, 19 And said, ‘O man greatly beloved, fear not : peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me. - 20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee ? and now will I return " to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. - 2.

Then said the LoRD, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will 'not again pass by them any more : 9 And the high places of Isaäc shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the “house of Jeroboam with the sword. 10 * Then Amaziah the 'priest of Beth-el sent to Jero- boam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath "conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able "to bear all his words. 1 I For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall “ die by the sword, and Isr el shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. - 12 Also, Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go "flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: & 13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapei, and it is the king's court. 14 *| Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son ; but I was 'a herdman, and a gatherer of ‘sycamore fruit: 15 And the Lord took me "as I followed the flock, and the º said unto me, * Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. 16 | Now, therefore, hear 3 thou the word of the LORD? |Thou sayest, ' Prophesy no. against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 17 Therefore thus saith the Lord ; “Thy wife shall be b} {} Oppresswom of the poor reproved. a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall “;" fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and " thou shalt die in a polluted land : and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

For I will no more ' pity the inhabitants of the land, sath the Lord : but lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his "king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. 7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, 0 "poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called "Beauty, and the other I called P Bands; and I fed the flock. 8 * Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then said I, I will not feed you : that that dieth, "let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; an let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another. 10 || And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it astrº- der, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 And it was broken in that day; and so the "poor ºf the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LoRD. 12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my p"99 * thirty pieces of silver. h 524 The repentance of Jerusalem. 13 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the Y pot- ter: a “goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the pot- ter in the house of the Lord. 14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that might “break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a "foolish shepherd. 16 For lo, I will raise up “a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek "the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still ; but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 17 Wo to the * idle shepherd that leaveth the flock the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye : his farm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

ND Josias held the a feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto his ºrd, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the first month ; - 2 Having set the priests according to their daily courses, being arrayed in long garments in the temple of the Lord. - 3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set the holy ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon the son of David had built: 4.And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and kindreds, 5. According as David the king of Israel prescribed, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son : and standing in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren the children of Israel, 6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the command- ment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses. 7 And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thirty thou- Sand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves: these things were given of the king's allowance, according as he promised to the peo- ple, to the priests, and to the Levites. X- 8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and a Syelus, the ple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand six hundred|#6 sheep, and three hundred calves. 9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathamael his brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousandsheep, and "seven hundred calves. 10 And when these things were done, the priests and Levites having ºvened bread, stood in very comely order according to the KIIl (tre Cis t - r ii. And according to the several dignities of the fathers before the Pºlº to offer to the Lord, as it was written in the book of Moses: and thus did they in the morning. 12 And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth: as for the Sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots, and pans, * with a good savour, B.

The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, ac- $ording to the appointment c of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was d of the king's retinue. 16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate; it was not lawful for any É. #. from his ordinary service: for their brethren the Levites prepared Or them. : - . 17 Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord ac- complished in that day, that they might hold the passover, 18 And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to the com- mandment of king Josias. - 19. So the children of Israel which were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days, * - 20, And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel. ' 21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Lévites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. * In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this passover kept. #3 And the works of Josias were upright before his Lord, with a heart full of godliness. - - * As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and d did wickedly against the Hord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him e exceed- ingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel. * 25 ° Now after all these acts of Josias it came to ** aoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Euphrates: and Josias went out against him. º But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with ge, O king of Judea 9 - - **, I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon uphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord. .. wº Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook b ght with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy, spoken yºhe mouth of the Lord 29 But joined battle with him came #. king Josias. t! 30 º, ºn said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the bat- e; for I am Very weak.

Then began the first, who had spokém of the strength of wine; 18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine : it causeth all men to err that drink it: : 19. It maketh the mind of the king, and of the fatherless child, to be all one : of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich : 2. , . - 20 It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt: 21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth nei- ther king nor governor ; and it maketh to speak all things by talents; 22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords: - 23 But when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done. 24 O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus?

CHAPTER III. Nº. when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, .* and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia, 2 And to all the governors, and captains, and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of a hundred twenty and seven provinces. 3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bed-chamber, and slept, and soon after awaked. 4 Then three young men that were of the guard, that kept the king's body, spake one to another; 5. Let every one of us speak a sentence : he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall scem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory: 6 As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in and a chariot with bridles of gold, and a headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck : . . 7 And he shall sit next to Darius, because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin. 's - - 8 And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under king Darius his pillow. - - 9 And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge 28 Now therefore I have commanded to hinder those men from build- - old, and to sleep upon gold, 5 They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's command: ment: if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil, as all things else. 6 Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with Wars, but use husbandry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king 7 And yet he is but one man: if he ..". kill, they kill; if he command to spare, they spare ; - 8 If he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make desolate, they make desolate ; if he command to build, they build; } 9 if º command to cut down, they cut down; if he command to plant, they plant. g i; So all his people and his armies obey him ; furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest: - 11 And these keep watch round about him, neither may any one de- part, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing: 12 O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed P.And he held his tongue. - 2. ' * 13 * Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak. - * 14 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neithe, is it wine that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women P , , - º, Wºmen have borne the king and all the people that bear rule by S* a. Il Ci ſa, Il (i. - t 16 Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that plante" the vineyards from whence the wine cometh. 17 These also make garments for men; these and without women cannot men be. 18 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, ºr * other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favo" and beauty P - • 19 And letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her ; and have not all men more desire unto her than unto silver or gold, or any goodly thing whatsoever?. 20 A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and his 9W" country, and cleaveth unto his wife. ." 21. He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife, neither father, nor mother, nor country. - 22 By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman º' 23 Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to Steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers; . - “... . h 24 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness ; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love. i 25 Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mothe. 26 Yea, many there be that have d run out of their wits for wome" become servants for their sakes. ,- + bring glory unto men, -- and remembereth do and Q - pocrypha 27 Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women. . . 28 And now do ye rot believe me * is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him? - 29 Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the daughter of the admirable e Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king, 30 And taking the crown from the king’s head, and setting it upon her own head; she also struck the king with her left hand. w 31 And yet ºf for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also : but if she took º displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might 5 be reconciled to him again. - • 32 O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus 2 33 Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he began to speak of the truth. - • * * 34 O ye men, are not women strong 2 great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetching his course again to his own place in one day. - - e 35 Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things. - - 36 All the earth h calleth upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth it: all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing. 37, Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked works ; and there is no truth in them; in their unrighteousness also they shall perish 38 As for the truth, it endureth, and is always strong ; it liveth and conquereth for evermore. , ‘. . . 39. With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards; but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust and w wicked things f and all men do well like of her works. 40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth. . . . - 41 And with that he held his peace. And all the people then shout- ed, and said, Great is truth, and mighty above all things. 42 Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is ap- pointed in the writing, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin. 43 Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thou camest to thy kingdom, 44 And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy §iº, and to send them again thither. 45. Thou also hast vowed to build up the temple, which the Edom- ites burned, when Judea was made desolate by the Chaldees. 46 And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thy- self; I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven. 47 Then Darius the king stood up and kissed him, and wrote let- ters for him unto all the treasurers, and lieutenants, and captains, and gºvernors, that they should safely convey on their way both him. and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem. - 48. He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria, and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar: W900 from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him. - 49 Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm §P into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no 1°utenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors; 50 And that all the country which they hold should be free without ºribute ; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they heid: º, Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built ; * And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt-offerings upon £ altar every day, as they had a commandment to offer seventeen: 53 And that all they that went from Babylon to build the city should ave free li - T_ _ = e - - • that wº º as well they as their posterity, and all the priests 54 He wroté also co wherein they minister; . . - º, And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them, "tº the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up. 56 And he commanded to give to all that kept the city & pensions and wages. - - . - º He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus had sº and all that Cyrus had given in commandment the same .*. he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem. to he 9W When this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face 59 *Yºº towards Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven, d And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant. thank Blessed art thou, who hast ºnks, O Lord of our fathers. 61 And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Baby- * and told it all his brethren. - 62 And they praised the God of their fathers,because he had given °m freedom and libertv.

To offer burnt-sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly com- manded in the book of Moses the man of God. • 50, And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own P. because all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and oppressed them ; and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt-offerings to the Lord both morning and evening. 51. Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet: 52 And after that, the 5 continual oblations, and the sacrifice of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts. 53. And all they that had " made any vow to God began to offer sacrifices to God, from the first day of the seventh month, although the temple of the Lord was not yet built. 54 And they gave unto the masons and carpenters, money, meat, and drink with cheerfulness. * 55 Unto them of Sidon also and Tyre they gave cars, that they should bring cedar-trees from Libanus, which should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppe, according as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians. 56 And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity: 57 And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem. - 1.

So the workmen built the temple of the Lord. 59 And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instru- ments and trumpets; and the Leyites the sons of Asaph had cymbals, 60. Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained. 61 And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, cause his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel. . 62 And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and bre- thren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord * setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in be- the z Darcom.

So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you. 69 For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of " Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither. - 70 Then Zorobabel and Jesus, and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together a house unto the Lord our God. - 71 We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us. 72. But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building ; 73 And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commo- tions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that king Cyrus lived : so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, 9 until the reign of Darius. - - CHAPTER VI. ir. 520 Nº. in the second year of the reign of Darius, Aggeus, and CIT.

With that also which is given of the people for the temple of the Lord their God at Jerusalem: and that silver and gold may be collected for bullocks, rams, and lambs, and things thereunto appertaining; 15 To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem. 16 And whatsoever thou and thy brethren will do with the silver and gold, that do, according to the will of thy God. 17 And the holy vessels of the Lord which are given thee for the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Jerusalem, thou shalt set be- fore thy God in Jerusalem. 18 And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for the use of the temple of thy God, thou shalt give it out of the king's treasury, 19 And I king Artaxerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the priest and the reader of the law of the most high God shall send for, they should give it him with speed, 20 To the sum of a hundred talents of silver, likewise also of wheat ^ven to a hundred m cors, and a hundred pieces of wine, and other things in abundance. * 2I Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently unto the most high God, that wrath come not upon the kingdom of the king and his sons. 22 I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other imposi- evites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any thing upon thcar. 23. And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God, ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria, and Phenice n ºf those that know the law of thy § ; and those that know it not thou shalt teach. 24 And a whosoever shall transgress the law of thy God, and of the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death, or other punishment, by penalty of money, or § imprisonment. -> 25 || Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only Lord God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the heart of the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem: - 26 And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and his counsel- lors, and all his friends, and nobles. 27 Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me. 28 And these are the chief according to their families and several digni- ties, that went up with me from Babylon in the reign of king Artaxerxes: 29 Of the sons of Phinees, Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar, 9 Gamael: of the sons of David, P Lettus b the son of Sechemias. - 30 Of the sons of Pharez, Zecharias; and with him were counted a hundred and fifty men : 31 Of the sons of Pahath with him two hundred men: 32 r Of the sons of Zathoe, Sechemias the son of Jezelus, and with him three hundred men; of the sons of Adin, Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him s two hundred and fifty men: 33 Of the sons of Elam, Josias son of Gotholias, and with him seventy men: 34 Of the sons of Saphatias, * Zaraias son of Michael, and with him * threescore and ten men : 35 Of the sons of Joab, / Abadias son of 2 Jezelus, and with him two hundred and a twelve men : 36 b Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of a hundred and threescore men: 37 Of the sons of Babi, Zecharias son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight men: •, - 38 Of the sons of 6 Astath, Johannes son of 4 Acatan, and with him a hundred and ten men : - 39.

Moab, Eliaonias, the son of q Zaraias, and Josaphias, and with him Zecharias, and Mosollamon, principal men and learned 2 - 5 .Apocrypha. 45 And I bade them that they should go unto "Saddeus the captain, o who was in the place of P the treasury : 46 And commanded them that they should speak unto Daddeus, and to a his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priest’s office in the house of the Lord. . . 47 And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, * Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren who were eighteen. 48 t And Asebia, and Annuus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men. 49 And of the servants of the temple whom David had ordained, and the principal men for the service of the Levites (to wit) the servants of the temple, two hundred and twenty, the catalogue of whose names were shewed. 50 And there I w vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the * cattle : 51 For I was ashamed to ask the king footmen conduct for safeguard against our adversaries. 52 For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek ń. to support them in all ways. 53 And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable untous. e 54 Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, y Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them: , , 55 And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given. wº 56 And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and sixty talents of silver, and silver vessels of a hundred talents, and a hundred talents of ſº 57 And twenty gol fine brass, glittering like gold. 58 And #. unto them, Both vessels are holy, and the gold and t Lord of our fathers. 59 Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of our God. 60 So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusalem into the temple of the Lord. - 61 And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us; and from the a beginning .# our journey the Lord deliver. ed us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem. 62 And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our ford on the fourth day unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri. 63 And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu, and c Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight. 64 And all the weight of them was written up the same hour. 65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captivity offered sacri- fice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams, - 66.4 Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace-offering, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord. 67 And they delivered the king’s commandments unto the king's stewards, and to the governors of Celosyria and Phenice; and they honoured the people and the temple of God. 68 Now when these things were done, the rulers came untome, and said, 69 The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollu- tions of the Gentiles, to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites. 70 ° For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity. - 71 And as soon as I . heard these things, I rent my clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy. 72 So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God , and horsemen, and e are holy unto the Lord, and the e silver is a vow unto the Lord, the of Israel, assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the iniquity: but I still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice. 73. Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching forth my hands unto the Lord, 74 I said, O Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before thy face; 75 For our sins e are multiplied above our heads, and our ignorances have reached up unto heaven. 76 For ever since the time of our fathers, we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day. 77 And for our sins and our fathers' we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day. 78 And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a root and a name in the place of thy sanctuary ; 79 And to discover unto us a light in the house of the Lord our God. to give us f food in the time of our servitude. en vessels, and 2 twelve vessels of brass, even of 1.

Łike as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law of the OY Ol. 95 Arise, and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter apper- tain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly. * 96 So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware. CHAPTER IX. Tº Esdras, rising from the court of the temple, went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib, º 2 And remained there, and did eat no meat, nor drink water, mourn- ing for the great iniquities of the multitude. 3 And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to,all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem: - . 4 And that whosoever met not there within two or three days, aº- cording as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should, bº seized to the use of the temple, and himself a cast out from them that were of the captivity. s & 5 And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month. 6 And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of the tem- ple because of the present foul weather. - 7 So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have trangressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel. 8 And now by confession give glory unto the Lord God of our fathe; 9 And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women. 10 Then cried the whole multitude, as thou hast spoken, so will we do. II But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, sº that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or twº seeing our sin in these things is spread far : f 12 Therefore let the rulers of the multitude "stay, and let all them." our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed; 13 And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till We " away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter. 14.

And the whole multitude came together with one accord “into the broad place of the holy porch towards the east: 39 And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.

I am a widow and forsaken : go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord. fi As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant, - 6 That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them. e 7 Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my “coyenant. 8 Wo be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember “what I did unto Sodom and Go- morrah ; 9 Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord. 10 Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people, that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel. 11 Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the ever- lasting tabernacles which I had prepared for them. 12 They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour nor be weary. 13 Go, and ye shall receive : pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you : watch. 14 Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good; for I live, saith the Lord. i5 Mother, embrace thy children, and * bring them up with glad- ness, make their feet as fast as a pillar: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord. - 16 And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known º my name in Israel. 17 Fear not, thou mother of the children: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord. w - 18 For thy help will I send my servants, Esay and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits, - 19 And as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with jºy. 20 Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked, 21 Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come in to the sight of my clearness. - 22 Keep the old and young within thy walls. 23 ° Wheresoever thou findest the dead d take them and bury them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection. 24 Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quietness shall COIT162. 25 Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet. 26 As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall not one of them perish ; for I will require them from among thy number. 27 Be not weary: for when the day of trouble and heaviness cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but thou shalt be merry, and have abundance. 28 The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord. 29 My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell. 30 Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord. 31 Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them : for I am merciful, saith Lord Almighty. 32 Embrace thy children until I come, and e shew mercy unto them : my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail. 33 I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord. 34, And therefore I say unto you, Q ye heathem, that hear and under- ive you everlasting rest; for he stand, Look for your Shepherd, he shall is nigh at hand, that shall come in the i of the world. 35 Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore. 36 Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory : I testify my Saviour openly. 37 O receive the gift that is him that hath called you to the 38 Arise u feast of the Lord ; eavenly kingdom. 39 Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have re- ceived glorious garments of the Lord. 40 Take thy number, O Sion, and & shut up those of thine that clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord. 41. The number of thy children whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: be- seech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed. 42 °I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great number, and they all praised the Lord with songs. 43 And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted ; which I marvelled at greatly. 44 So I asked the angel, and said, h Sir, what are these ? 45 He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the II.

Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord. 48. Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God thou hast seen. * . CHAPTER III. º the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city, I was in Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart: 2 For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon. - 3. And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the Most High, and said, 4 O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth (and that thyself alone) and commandedst the people, f 5 * And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the work- manship of thy hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee. 6 And thou leddest him into paradise, which thy right hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward. 7 And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him anc in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number. - 8 *And every people walked after their own will, and did wonder- ful things before thee, and despised thy commandments. 9° And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them. - 10 And it came to º in every of them, that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these. - 11 Nevertheless, one of them thou leftest, namely, a Noah with his household, of whom came all righteous men. 12 And it happened that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children, and were a great people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first. 13 Now when they lived so wickedly before thee, ethou didst choose thee a man from among them whose name was f Abraham. 14 Him thou lovedst, and unto him only thou shewedst thy will: , 15 And madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed. “A 16 & And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and h unto Isaac also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, thou ididst choose him to thee, and put by Esau : and so Jacob became a great multitude. 17 And it came to pass that when thou leddest his seed out of Egypt, *thou broughtest them them up to the mount Sinai. 18 And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, movedst the whole world, an that age. 19 And thy glory went through four and of wind, and of cold ; that thou mi of Jacob " and diligence unto the generation of Israel. 20 And yet tookest thou not away from them a wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them. - 21 For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart, transgressed, and was overcome ; , and so be all they that are born of him. 22 Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the law (also) of the people with the malignity of the root: so that the goo away, and the evil abode still. - 23 So, the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David : , 24 "Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, incense and oblations unto thee therein. - 25 When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee. 26. And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had don” for they also had a wicked heart: - 27 And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thin 28 Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion ? 29 For when I came thither, and had seen impieties withoutnumber, then my soul saw many evil-doers in this thirtieth year, so that my 30 For I have seen how thou sufferest them sinning, and hast SPºº wicked doers; and hast destroyed enemies, and hast not signified it. f 31 "I do not remember how this way may be left: Are they then 0 Babylon better than they of Sion ? 2 Of 32.

Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, even we all are full of impiety. * — 4 39 And for our sakesperadventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth. 40 So he answered me, and said, Gothy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer wit’.in her. - # Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman: 42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them. 43. From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee. - 44. Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore, 45 Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come. 46 What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not, 47 And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee. 48 So I stood, and saw, and behold a hot burning oven passed by before me : and it happened, that when the flame was gone by I looked, and behold, the smoke remained still. - . 49 After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm ; and when the stormy rain was past, drops remained still. - 50 Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more me an answer, 2 And said, Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, and thinkest l thou to comprehend the way of the Most High 2 3 Then said I, Yea, my Lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent; to shew thee three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before thee: 4 Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall shew thee from whence the wicked heart cometh. . 5 And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Gothy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past. 6 Then answered I and said, 'What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me? * 7 And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the beginnin of the deep, or how many springs are above the firmament, or whic are the outgoings of paradise ; 8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever climb up into heaven. 9. Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed, and of things from which thou Canst not be separated, and yet canst thou give me no answer of them. 10 He said, moreover unto me, Thine own things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know ; II. How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the way of the Highest, and the world being now outwardly corrupted, to under- stand the a corruption that is j. in my sight 2 12 Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, and not to know wherefore. 70 (!!?) &S. d'Or, the and. b Isa.55.8,9.

So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, comforted me. and set me upon my feet. . 16 And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel the captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where hast thou been 2 and why is thy countenance so heavy in Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in the land of their captivity ? 18 Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. º 19 Then said I unto him, Gothy ways from me, and come not nigh me.

Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel’s sake: lovest thou that people better than he that made them P . 34 And I said, No, Lord : but of very grief have I spoken : for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of the Most High, and to seek out part of his judgment. 35 And he said unto me, Thou canst not.

And it happened that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and behold, there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters. 18 And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw migh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth, - 19 And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled; 20 And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall be "finish- ed, then will I shew these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall see all together: 21 And the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely children of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up. 22 And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full store houses shall suddenly be found empty : 23 And the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid. 24 At that time shäll friends fight one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run. 25 Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world. . . 26 And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth ; and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning. 27 For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched. 28 As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be overcome, and the truth which hath been so long without fruit, shall be declared. 29. And when he talked with me, behold, I looked by little and little upon him before whom I stood. e 30 And these words said he unto me; I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come. . 31 If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, I shall tell thee greater things e by day than I have heard. 32 For thy voice is heard before the Most High : for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth. 33 And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, say unto thee, Be of good comfort, and fear not. s 34 And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times. f 35 And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted ** days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me. 36 And in the eighth might was my heart vexed within me again, tº began to speak before the †. #. .. -- ~, e 37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress. 38 And I said, O †. thou spakest from the beginning of the crea”, even the first day, and saidst thus; "Let heaven and earth be made ; an thy word was a perfect work. - 39 And then was the spirit and darkness and silence were side ; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed. 40' Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy treas” that thy work might appear. - d 41 Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmame. commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waterS, and to on every | that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath. day thou didst command that the waters should be 42 Upon the thir p hast thou dried up, * gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six parts 1ſ) Apocrypha. - kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilſed might serve thee. 43 For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made. 44 For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day. 45 ° Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order: 46 And gavest them a charge to do a service unto man that was to be inade. 47 Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, * where the waters were gathered, that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass. 48 For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works. - 49 Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst f Enoch, and the other Leviathan; 50 And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, II, ESDRAS. c Gen. 1. 14. d Gen.

A” when I had made an end of speaking these words, there was sent unto me the angel which had been sent unto me the nights afore: 2 And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words that I am come to tell thee. , 3 And I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, The sea is set tn a wide place, that it might be deep and great. - 4 Butput the case the entrance were narrow, and like a river; 5 Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he Went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad P 6.There is also another thing; A city is builded, and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things: .,7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and set in a “dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water: 8 And one only path between them both, even between the fire and the Wººter, so small that there could but one man go there at once. 9 if this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance 2 10 And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel's portion. - - 11 Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam trans- gressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done. 12. Then were thé entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils, and very painful. 13 F or the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit. 14 If then they that live, labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never réceive those that are laid up for them. 15 Nºw therefore why disquietest thou’ thyself, seeing thou art but a °9.uptible man? and why art thou moved, whereas thou art but mortal? * Why hast thou not considered in thymind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present 2 * Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, thou hast ordain- ed in thy law, that the righteous should inherit these things, but that the "ß should perish. . º §vertheless the righteous shall suffer strait things, and hope for Wide: for they that have Jone wickedly have suffered the strait things, and Yet shall not see the wide. - : h * And he said unto me, There is no judge above God, and none that º, \ºderstanding above the Highest. f § For there be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law * Sod that is set before ther. *1.

Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also 2 - 42 He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide ; therefore have they prayed for the weak, 43 But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein corruption is past, «, 44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, righteousness is grown, and truth is sprung up. 45 Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory. . - 46 I answered then and said, This is my first and last saying, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam: or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from sinning. 47 For what R. is it for men now in this present time to live in heavi- ness, and after death to look for punishment 2 - 48 O thou Adam, what hast thou done! for though it was h thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee. 49 For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death P 50 And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain P 51 And that there are laid ºp for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly 52 And that the glory of the Most High is kept to defend them which have led e a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all P 53 And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is /security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it? 54 (For we have walked in unpleasant places.) 55 And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness 2 56. For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death. 57 Then answered he me, and said, This is the s condition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight ; . 58 That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said: but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say. - 59 For this is the life whereof Moses spoke unto the people while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live. 60 Nevertheless, they believed not him, nor yet the prophets after him, no, nor me which have spoken unto them, *~. 61 That there should not be such heaviness in their destruction, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to salvation. 62 Ianswered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the Most High is calledmer- ciful, in that he hath mercy upon them which are not yet come into the world, 63 And upon those also that turn to his law; 64 And that k he is patient, and long suffereth those that have sinned as his creatures ; 65 And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it needeth; 66 And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also to them which are to come. 67 For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein. r 68 And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that the which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousand part of men should not remain living. w 69 And being judge, if he should not forgive them that are h cured with his word, and put out the multitude of contentions. 11 Apocrypha 70 There should be very few left peradventure in an innumerable multitude.

For thouſe comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I; but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous. 48 In this also thou art marvellous before the Most High : 49 In that thou hast f humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous. 50 For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride. 51.

He hath seen that thy 8 way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, " and makest great lamentation for Sion. 40 This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou lately saw est: 41 Thou sawest x a woman mourning, and thou y begannest to com- fort her: - 42 But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded. 43 And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the h solution : 44 This woman, whom thou sawest, is Sion : and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest * as a city builded, 45 Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that she hath been thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there was no offering made in her. - . . 46. But after thirty years Solomon builded the city, b and offered offerings; and then bare the barren a son. * - 47 And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem. e 48 But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage-chamber happened to have a fall, and died: “this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem. 49 And behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned 4 Apocrypha for her son, thou oegannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee. 50 For now the 4 Most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty : 5í And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded : b2 For I knew that the Highest e would shew this unto thee. 53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foun- dation of any building was. ſº gº 54 For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man’s building be able to stand. 55 And therefore f fear not, let & not thy heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see: * 56 And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may comprehend. 57 For thou art blessed h above many other, and * art called with the Highest; and so are but few. 58 But to-morrow at night thou shalt remain here ; e e 59 And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the * high things, which the Most High will do unto them that dwell upon earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me. HAPTER XI. HFN saw I a dream, and behold, there came up from the sea, an a eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads. 2 And I saw, and behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gathered together. 3 And I beheld, and out of her " feathers there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little feathers and small. 4 But her c heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested a t with the residue. - 5 Moreover I beheld, and lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein. 6 d And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth. 7 And I ... and lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying, b 8 Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch F COUlrS6 : - 'o But let the heads be preserved for the last. - 10 And I beheld, and lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body. 11 And I numbered her e contrary feathers, and behold, there were eight of them. i2. And I looked, and behold, on the right side there arose one feather, * and reigned over all the earth; 13 And so it was that when it reigned, the end of it came, and & the place thereof appeared no more: so the next following stood up and reigned, and had a great time ; tº X- 14 And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more. 15 Then came there a voice unto it, and said, II.

And I beheld, and lo as it were a roaring " lion chased out of the wood ; and I saw that he sent out a man's voice into the eagle and said 38 Heartlıou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee. 39 Art not thou it that remainest of the j whom I made to 40 And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, * and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression ; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit. 41 y For the earth hast thou not judged with truth. 42 For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of . as did thee no harm. 43 Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty. 44 The Highest also hath º looked upon the proud times, and behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled. 45 And therefore appear no more, a thou, eagle, nor thy horrible wings, nor thy wicked Hiei. northy malicious heads, northy hurt- ful claws, nor all thy vain body: 46 That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being de- livered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the "judgment and mercy of him " that made her. CHAPTER XII. ND it came to pass, while the alion spake these words unto the * eagle, I saw, 2 And behold, the head that remained, and the four wings appeared no more, and the two went unto it, and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small and full of uproar. 3 And I saw, and behold, they appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt so that the earth was in great fear : then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit, 4 Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou º searchest out the ways of the Highest. 5 Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is , there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was affrighted this night. 6 Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end. - 7 And I said, Lord d that bearest rule, if I have found grace before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face; º 8 Comfort me then, and * shew me thy servant the Interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly com- fort my soul. 9 For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times. 10 And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the vision : 16 Hearthou that hast borne rule over the earth solong; this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more, 17. There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof. 18 Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also. 19 So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared no more. 20 Then I beheld, and lo, in process of time the feathers k that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also ; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more: 21 For some of them were set up, but ruled not. 22 After this I looked, and behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers: 23 And there was no more upon the eagle’s body, but in three heads that rested and six n little wings. 24 Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place. - . 25 And I beheld, and lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves, and to have the rule. 26 And I beheld, and lo, there was one set up, but shortly, * it appeared ¥16 Iſ? Of €. 27 And the second was sooner away than the first. 28 And I, beheld, and lo, the two that remained thought also in them- selves to reign: - 29 And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one P of the heads titat were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads. . 30. And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it. 31 And behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and did eat up the two feathers under the wing that would have reigned. 32 But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been. 33 And after this I beheld, and lo, the head that was in the midst sudden- ly * appeared no more, like as the wings. 34 But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein. interpretation: II .The eagle whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the fivision of thy brother Daniel. 12 But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto theº. 13. Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be E feared above all the kingdoms that were before it. 14 In the same shall twelve kings reign one after another: g 15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more tim” than any of the twelve. 16 And this do the twelve wings signify, h which thou sawest. g 17 As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest' not to go out from the heads, but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the 18.

That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be bu Small, and their years swift. - & ll 21 And two of them shall perish, the middle time * roaching: four º be kept until their end begin to approach: but two shall be kept unto the end. 22 And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the intº Pº" tation: 23 In his last days shall the Most High raise up three º and re- new manythings therein, and they shall have the dominion of the º € 24 And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all t º that were before them: therefore are they called the " heads of the .# ii 25.

And with that he went his way. - - 40 And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven day were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said, 41 What have we offended thee ? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place P 42 For of all the a prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a * in a dark place, and as a haven or ship pre- served from the tempest. 43 Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient? 44. If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if|...} we also had y been burned in the midst of Sion ? 45 For we are not better than they that died there. with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said, 46 Be of good comfort, O Israel, and be not heavy, thou house of Jacob: 47. For the Highest hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty hath not forgotten you in temptation. 48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you : but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the “low estate of K." sanctuary. 49 And now go your way home every man, and after these days will I come unto you. t 50 So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded €m : 51 But I remained still in the field seven days, as "the angel com- manded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs.

Remembering that prophecy of d Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation. 7 Therefore I wept ; and after the going down of the sun I went * and made a grave, and buried him. -- 8 But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: f who fled away; and yetlo, he burieth the dead again. 9.

The self-same time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber. . CHAPTER IV. N that day Tobit remembered the amoney which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media, 2 And said within himself, b I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias, that I may signify to him of the money be- fore I die? 3 And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, lº me; and despise not thy mother, “but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her mot, 4 thow wast in her womb ; and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave. 5 My son, d be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not; thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: ão upright- ly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness. 6 For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly. 7 ‘Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be cnvious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee. 8 If thou hast abundance, & give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little: 9 For thou layest up a good h treasure for thyself against the day of necessity. 10 * Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to Come into darkness. 11 For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the Most High. - 12 Beware of all k whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed ºf thy fathers, and take not à l strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land. 18. Now therefore, my son, love in thy brethren, and despise not in thy hºrt thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewd- *śs is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine. 14 Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, ºy with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he Will also repay thee: be circumspect, my son, in all things thou doest, . and be wise in all thy conversation. 13 * Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken; neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy journey. 18 "Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance r give alms; and let *9tthiae eye be envious, when thou givest alms. 17 Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked. .* Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that 1S profitabl 8.0162. * "Bless the Lord thy God always, and desire of him that ‘ thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prospér: for ..y nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good ...; and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, º my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

So they were º pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare iny- self for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God j dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth ; and the young man’s dog with them. . 17 But in Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us? 18 a Be not greedy to add money to money, but let it be as refuse in respect of our child. - . 19 b For that which the Lord hath given us to live with, doth suffice us. 20 Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him. r 21 For the good angel will keep him company, an be prosperous, " and he shall return safe. 22 Then she made an eng #. weeping. APTER VI. A* as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, * and they lodged there. - * * - - 2 And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him. 3 Then the b angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and a drew it to land. 4 To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, . put them up safely. . 5 So the young man did as the angel comman they had roasted the fish, º, did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to * Ecbatane. 6 Then the young man said to the angel, Brother " Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gall of the fish 2 * 7 And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed. , 8 As for the gań, it is good to anoint a man that hath “whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed. 9 Ånd when they were come near to Rages, - 10 The º said to the young man, Brother, to-day we shall lodge with f Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named & Sara ; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife. II For to thee doth the * h right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred. - 12, And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will º: to her father ; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage : for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another ac- cording to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other. 13 Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias, i that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage-chamber. r 14 k And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest, if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before : for a ' wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth nobody, but those which come unto her: wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's and my mother’s life, be- cause of me, to the grave with sorrow : for they have no other son to bury them. 15 Then the angel said unto him, in Dost thou not remember the pre- cepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the "evil spirit; aS, the son of Ananias the great, and of d his journey shall ded him; and when €. | 16 And when thou shalt come into the hºmber, thou shalt take the cashes of perfume, o and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and r of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it: 17 And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more : but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you P and pray to God q which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover, I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these thin gs, he loved her, his heart was deffectually joined to her . . . 19 .Apocrypha. CHAPTER VII. . (A ND when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, band Sara met them; and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house. 2 Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin - 3 And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren P To whom they said, We are of the sons of c Nephthali, q which are cap- tives in Nineve. . ~ - 4 Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman 2 And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health P g 5 And they said, He is both alive and in good health : and Tobias said, e. He is my father. 6 Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept, 7 And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man: but when he had heard that Tobit was blind he was hter wept. More- sorrowful, and wept. . 8 And likewise & Edna his wife and Sara his º e over, they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to h Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be despatched. 9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat, and drink, and make merry: - 10 For it is i meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: never- theless, I will declare unto thee the truth. . 11 I have given my daughter in marriage to * seven men, who died that night #. came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another. 12 Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to theſi o manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things. 13 Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, say- ing, Behold, take her after ºn the law of Moses thy father.

CHAPTER VIII. - A*P when they had "supped, they brought Tobias in unto her. * 2 And as he went he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the a ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, b .# made a smoke therewith. 3 The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and “ the angel bound him. 4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, 4 and let us pray that God would have pity on us. 5. Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures. § - ...' 6 * Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for a helper and stay: of them came mankind : thou hast said, it is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself. 7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, f but uprightly:59 therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together. 8 And she said with him, g Amen. 9 So they slept both that night.

Il But when Raguel was come into his house, 12 He said unto his wife Edna, Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive : if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it. 13 So the maid o asleep. l 14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive. 15 Then Raguel i praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to pened the door, and went in, and found them both be praised with all pure and holy praise ; thorefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever. 16 Thou art to be praised, k for thou hast made me not come to me which I sus to thy great mercy, i - 17 Thou art to be praised, because thou hast had mercy of two were the only-begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy. 18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave. 19 And he kept the " wedding-feast fourteen days. - hed, Raguel had 20 For before the days of the marriage were finis unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till n the fourteen days of the marriage were expired - , and lead her away to; joyful; and that is pected; but thou hast dealt with us according TOBIT. a ch. 6.5. |b See Gen. 24, 15. |c ch. 1, 1. id ch. 1. 10.

And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the day-time, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until " the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, * Let me go, for my father and my mother lookno moretoseeme. 8. But his father-in-law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee, 9 But Tobias said, No ; but let me go to my father. 10.

FTER these things Tobias a went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and |Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto F Nineve. 2 Then ‘ Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father: 3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house. 4 And take in thy hand the gall of the fish.

So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the ford God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren. 8 And now, my son, h depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass. 9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee. 10 And bury me decently, and thy inother with me ; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled * Achia- charus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into dark- mess, and how he rewarded him again : yet Achiacharus was “ saved, but the other had his reward : for he went down into darkness. & Ma- masses gave alms, and escaped the smares of death & which they had set for him : but Aman fell into the Snare and perished. . 11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being a hundred and eight and fifty years old; and ſhe buried him honourably. w 12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to in Ecbatane to " Raguel his father-in-law, -- - 13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and father Tobit’s. - 14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, º being a hundred and seven and twenty years old. 15 But before he died he heard of P the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus; and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve. 6 And theré * unto him all they that dwelt in the hill-country,; I5. b Jonah I. . & 3. 2, º Ps. 127.

I5. 8 i Acts 8. and all they that dwelt by “Euphrates, and Tigris, and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans, and very many nations of the sons of Chelod, assembled themselves to the battle. 7 Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto all that dwelt in e Persia, and to all that dwelt westward, and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus, and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea-coast, 8 And to those among the nations that were of Carmel, and Galaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great plain of Esdrelom, - 9 And to all that were in É Samaria and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chellus, and Kades; " and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and all the land of Gesem, 10 Until yé come beyond Tamis and Memphis, and to all the inha- bitants of Egypt, until ye come to the borders of Ethiopia. 11 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the command- ment cf Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they 21 mother-in-law honourably, and he 8 inherited their substance, and his Apocrypha. with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace. * g - 12 Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged. upon all those coasts of k Cilicia, and Damascus, and "Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas. * 13. Then he marched in battle-array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle :, for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots, 14 And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the n towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame. 15 He took also º Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and Smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day. * I6 So he returned afterward to P §. both he and all his com- pany of sundry nations, being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and his army, a hundred and twenty days. CHAPTER II. A*. a in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first A month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, that he should, " as he said, avenge himself on all the earth. 2. So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and com- municated with them his secret counsel, and * concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth. 3 Then they decreed to destroy d all flesh that did not obey the com- mandment of # mouth. 4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofermes the chief captain of his army, which was *next unto him, and said unto him, 5 Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen a hundred and twenty thou- sand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand. 6 And thou shalt go against all the west country, because they disobeyed my commandment. - - 7 And thou shalt declare unto them that they prepare for me.” earth and water : for I will go forth in my wrath against them, and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them : - 8 So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks, and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow : 9 And e I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth. 10 Thou therefore shalt go forth, and take beforehand for me all their coasts : and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.

OW the children of Israel that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holo- fernes, the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyri ans had dome to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought. 2 * Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were “troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple ; the Lord their God : 3 For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all the peo ple a of Judéa were lately gathered together: and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified d after the profanation. e 4 Therofore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, and the villages, and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem: •+ * 5 And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war: for their fields were of late reaped. 6 Also Joacim the high priest, which was in those days in Jerusalem. wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and Betomestham, which is over against " Esdraelon towards the c open country, near to Dothaim, 7 Charging them to keep the passages of the hill-country: for by , them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was strait, "for two men º' the most. 8 And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high pries had 39m. manded them, with the e º ancients of all the people of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem. 9.

Therefore the king of Egypt rose up against them, " and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with labouring in * brick, and made them slaves. 12 Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: so the P Egyptians cast them out of their sight. . 13 And q God dried the Red Sea before them, 14 And brought them 6 to mount Sima, and Cades-Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness. • - 15 So they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they destroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and passing over Jordan they possessed all the hill-country. 16 And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days. 17 And whilst they sinned not before their God, they prospered, be- cause the God t that #. iniquity was with them. 18 " But when they departed from the way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and were led cap- tives into a land #. was not theirs, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by the enemies. 19 But y now they are returned to their God, and are come up from the places where they were scattered, and have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and d are seated in the hill-country; for it Was desolate. * 20 Now therefore, my lord and governor, “if there be any error in this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let is go up, and we shall overcome them. ?!

II So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into * the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill- country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia. 12 And when the men, of the city saw them, they took up their every against them. 13.

Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel. and Charmis the son of Melchiel. 16 And they called together all 9 the ancients of the city, and all their youth, ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias asked him of that which was done. 17 And he answered and declared unto them the words of P the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel. - 18 Then the people a fell down and worshipped God, and cried unto God, saying, * 19 O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day. 20 Then they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly. 21 And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; t and they called on the God of Israel all that might for help. . CHAPTER VII. . . - Tº next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his peo- ple which were come to take his part, that they should remove hill-country, and to make war against the children of Israel. 2 Then their strong men removed their camps in that day, and the army of the men of war was " a hundred and seventy thousand foot- men, and twelve thousand horsemen, besides the baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very great multitude. ...” 3 And they camped in the valley near ünto Bethulia, " by the foun- tain, and they spread themselves in breadth 4 over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto " Cyamon, which is over against Esdraelom. - 4 Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them. were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, 4 Now will these men lick up the face of the earth ; for neither the high moun- tains, nor the valleys, nor the hills are able to bear their weight. - 5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and * watched all that night. - - ; But in the second day Holofernes brought forth_all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia; | 7 And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to 3 the foun- tains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his people. 8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and al- the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea-coast, and said - - 9 Letour lord now hear a word, that there be not an overthrow in thine army. 10 For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their h spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, be- cause it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains. II Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in battle-array, and there shall not so much as one man of thy people perish. 12 Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain : 13 For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence : k so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city. e 14 S6 they and their wives and their children shall be consumed with famine, and before the sword come against them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell. 15 Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward; because they "rebelled, and a met not thy person .#: º 16 And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, and he ap pointed to do as they had spoken. - - 17 So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the valley, and 2 took the waters, and the fountains of the waters of the children of Israel. 13 Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill-country over against P Dothaim: and they sent some of | them toward the south, and toward the east, over against Eſkrebel, which Q their camp against & Bethulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the ~/ Aº Apocrypha JUDITH. is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of gº. 37. the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and 9 covered the face of the whole land ; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude. - iš Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, be- cause their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them. 20 Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, “ so that allig their vessels of water failed all the inhabitants of Bethulia. 21 And the c cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day ; for they gave them drink by measure. 22 Therefore their young children, were out of heart, and their women and young mên fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them. e 23 Then all the peopled assembled to " Qzias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, an said before all the elders.” - - 24 God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, y in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur, 25 For now we have no helper : * but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction. .. 26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army. 27 For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die. 28 “We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, 4 that he do not according as we have said this day. • . 29 Then there was great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly ; and they cried unto the Lord God with a loud voice. 30 Then said "Ozias to them, Brethren, be of ; endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; 6 for he will not forsake us utterly. 31 And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I will do according to your word. 32 And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge ; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: * and they were very low brought in the city. - CHAPTER VIII. - Nº. at that time Judith heard thereof, which was the daughter of - * Merari, the son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of Oziel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of Gideon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of a Samael, the son of Salasadai, the son of Israel. 2 And Manasses was her husband, of her tribe and kindred, who died in " the barley-harvest. - 3 For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the r Ex, 14. 10. e verse 13. c Or, pits. t Isa. 40, 30. u ch. 6. 15. x Ex. 5. 21. y ch. 3. 1. z Judges 2. 14. & 4. 2. a Deut. 30. d'Or, lest he do, mean- ing Holo- fernes. };

CHAPTER, XII. ND Mardocheus took his rest in the court with Gabatha and Tharra, the two eunuchs of the king, and keepers of the palace. 2 b And he heard their devices, and searched out their purposes, and learned that they were about to lay hands upon Artaxerxes the king ; and so he certified the king of them. 3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after that they had confessed it, “ they were strangled. A. 4 And the king made a record of these things, and Mardocheus also wrote thereof. 5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to serve in the court, " and for this he rewarded him. 6 Howbeit e Aman the son of Amadathus, the Agagite, who was in great honour with the king, sought to molest Mardocheus and his peo- ple because of the two eunuchs of the king, HAPTER ׺ HE copy of the letters was this: The great king Artaxerxes wº these things to the princes and governors that are under him b theus, who said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptolemeus his son, jº. from India unto Ethiopia, in a hundred and seven and twenty provinces. ºght this epistle of Phurim, which they said was the same, and that lib.

HE º king Artaxerxes unto the princes and governors of a hundred and seven and twenty provinces from India unto Ethiopia, and unto all º our faithful subjects, greeting. 2 Many, the more often they are honoured with the great bounty of * their gracious princes, the more proud they are waxen, 3 And endeavour * to hurt not our subjects only, but not being able to bear abundance, do take in hand to practise also against those that do them good: 4 And take not only thankfulness away from among men, but also lifted up with the glorious words of elewd persons, d that were never #. they think to escape the justice of God, that seeth all things, and ateth evil. 5. Oftentimes also fair speech e of those that are put in trust to manage their friends’ affairs, hath caused many that are in authority to be par- takers of innocent blood, and hath enwrapped them in remediless ca- lamities: - 6 Beguiling with the falsehood and deceit of their lewd disposition b the innocency and goodness of princes. - 7 Now ye may see this as we have declared, not so much by ancient histories, as ye may, if ye search what hath been wickedly done of late through the pestilent behaviour of them “ that are unworthily placed in authoritv. 8 . we must take care for the time to come, that our kingdom may be d quiet and peaceable for all men, 9 Both by changing our purposes, and always judging things that are evident with more equal proceeding. 10 For Aman, a Macedonian, the son of Amadatha, being indeed a stranger from the Persian blood, and far distant from our goodness, and as a stranger received of us, 11 e Had so far forth obtained the favour that we shew toward every nation, as that he was called our father, and was continually honoured of all men, as the next person unto the king. 12. But he, not bearing his great dignity, went about to deprive us of our kingdom and life : 13 Having by manifold and cunning deceits sought of us the de- struction as well of Mardocheus, who saved our life, and continually procured our good, as also of blameless Esther, partaker of our king- dom, with their whole nation. - * 14 For by these means he thought, finding us destitute of friends, to have translated the kingdom of the Persians to the Macedonians. 15 But we find that the Jews, whom this wicked wretch hath delivered to utter destruction, ê are no evil-doers, but live by most just laws; 16 And that they be children of the most high and most mighty living God, who hath fordered the kingdom both unto us and to 0° progenitors in the most excellent manner. 17 Wherefore ye shall do well not to put in execution the letters sent unto you by Aman the son of Amadatha. 18 For he, that was the worker of these things, e gates of Susa with all his family: God, who ruleth all things, rendering vengeance to him according to his deserts. º 19 k Therefore ye shall publish the copy of this letter in all places, that the Jews may freely live after their own laws. tº 20 And ye shalſ aid them, that even the same day, being the thirteenth day of the twelfth month Adar, they may be avenged on them, who " time of their affliction shall set upon them. 21 For Almighty God hath turned to joy unto them the chosen people should have perished. - e 22 Ye shall therefore among your solemn feasts keep it a high day with all feasting : ; h 23 That both now and hereafter there may be safety to us; and the well-affected Persians; in but to those which do conspire against tº * memorial of destruction. - - º t 24 Therefore every city and country whatsoever, which shall #. do according to these things, shall be destroyed without mercy, With ; and sword, and shall be made not only unpassable for men. but als i is hanged at the 1S g speedily the day wherein g Esth.9.21. hPs. 115. 12. i Dan. 4.35. kEsth.3.2.5.

Then Mardocheus h thought upon all the works of the Lord, and 3.9 made his prayer unto him, 9 Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : for the whole world is in thy power, and if thou hast appointed to save Israel, there is no man that can gainsay thee: 10 For thou hast made heaven and earth, and all the wondrous things under the heaven. º 11 Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man that can resist thee, which art the Lord. & 12 Thou knowest all things, and thou knowest, Lord, * that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any desire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman. 13 For , I could have been content with good will for the salvation of Israel to kiss the soles of his feet. 14 But I did this that I might not prefer the glory of man above the glory of God: neither will I worship any but thee, O God, neither will I do it in pride. & 15 And now, O Lord God and King, " spare thy people : for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought; yea, they desire to destroy the Inheritance that hath been thine from the beginning. 16. Despise not the portion which thou hast delivered out of Egypt for thine own self. 17 Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inheritance: turn our sorrow into joy, that we may live, O Lord, 9 and praise thy name : and d destroy not the mouths of them that praise thee, O Lord. 18 All Israel in like manner cried most e earnestly unto the Lord, because their death was before their eyes. CHAPTER XIV. º Esther also, being in fear of death, a resorted unto the l_4 OT (1 : 2 b And laid away her glorious apparel, and put on the garments of anguish and mourning : and instead of precious ointments, she cover- ed her head with ashes and dung, and she humbled her body greatly, and all the places of her joy she filled with her torn hair. 3 And e she prayed unto the Lord God of Israel, saying, O my Lord, thou only art our King: help me, desolate woman which have no helper but thee: 4 d For my danger is in my hand. 5 e From my youth up I have heard in the tribe of my family, that thou, O Lord, tookest fº from among all people, and our fathers from all their predecessors, for a perpetual inheritance, and thou hast performed whatsoever thou didst promise them. 6 And now we have sinned before thee: therefore hast thou given us into the hands of our enemies, 7. Because we worshipped their gods: 'O Lord, thou art righteous. 8 Nevertheless it satisfieth them not, that we are in bitter captivity: but they have stricken hands with their idols, 9 That they will abolish the thing f that thou with thy mouth hast ordained, and destroy # thine inheritance, and stop the mouth of them that praise thee, and quench the glory of thy house, and of thine altar, 10 And open the mouths of the heathen h to set forth the praises of the * idols, and to magnify a fleshly king for ever. 11 O Lord, give not thy sceptre unto them that be nothing, and let them not laugh at our ſalſ; but turn their device upon themselves, and make him an example, that hath begun this against us. 12 Remember, O Lord, make thyself known in time of our afflic- tion, and give me boldness, O King of the 6 nations. and Lord of all power. - 13 Give me eloquent speech in my mouth before the lion; turn his heart to hate him that fighteth against us, that there may be an end of him, and of all that are like-minded to him: - 14 But deliver us with thy hand, and help me that k am desolate, and which have no other helper but thee. • 15 Thou knowest all things, O Lord ; thou knowest that I hate the glory of the unrighteous, and abhor the bed of the uncircumcised, and of *all the heathen. - - 16 Thou knowest my necessity: for I abhor the sign of my ehigh estate, which is upon my head in the days wherein I shew myself, and that I abhor it as a menstrucus rag, and that I wear it not when I am * private by myself. 17 And that thy handmaid hath not eaten at m Aman’s table, and that I have not greatly esteemed the king’s feast, nor drunk the wine of the drink-offerings. - 18 Neither had thy handmaid any joy since the day 5 that I was brought hither to this present, " but in thee, O Lord God of Abraham. 19 O thou mighty God above all, hear the voice of the 9 forlorn, and deliver us out of the hands of the mischievous, and deliver me out of my fear.

CHAPTER III. UT the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. : 2 ” In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery, 3 And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace. 4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their chope "full of immortality. 5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly a reward- ed; for God proved them, and found them "worthy for himself. 6 * As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt-offering. 7 And in the time of their visitation, f they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble. 8. They g shall judge §e nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. 9. They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: 6 and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him : for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect. 10 But the hungodly shall be punished according to their own imagi- nations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord. II For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable: 12 Their wives are d foolish, and their children wicked : 13 Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed : she k shall have fruit in the visitation of souls. 14 And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given e the special gift of faith, and an inheritance fin the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind. 15 For in glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wis dom shall never fall away. 16 As for the children of adulterers, they shall not & come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out. 17 For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour: - 18. Or, if they die quickly, n they have no hope, neither comfort in the dav of h trial. - 19 #. horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation. CHAPTER IV. ETTER it is to have no children, and * to have virtue : for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is a known with God, and with men. 2. When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth b a crown, and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards. e 3 But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall, not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation. .. 4 For though they flourish in branches for a time; * yet standin not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force o winds they shall be rooted out. 5 d The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofita- ble, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing. 6 For children begotten of unlawful 9 be ness against their parents in their trial. - ºr * b 7 But though the righteous be prevented with death, * yet shall he e at rest. ds, are witnesses of wicked- 8 For f honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, * Tim.4 nor that is measured by number of years. 9 But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspottedlife is old age. 10 & He pleased God, and was beloved of him : so that living among sinners he was translated. * 11 Yea, speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul. 12 For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth * undermine the simple mind. º 13 He, being made d perfect in a short time, fufilled a long time : . . 14 For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked. * º 15. This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, i That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen. - 16 Thus the righteous k that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected, the many years and old age of the unrighteous. - 29 Apocrypha. 17 For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety. & º is They shall see him, and despise him; but | God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcass, and a reproach among the dead for evermore. 19 For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation ; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow ; and their memorial shall perish. $ $ 20 And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince them to their face. CHAPTER. W. HEN shall the righteous man stand in "great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours. 2. When they see it, b they shall be troubled with terrible fear and shall be amazéd at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for. & tº * 3 And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselvés, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a a proverb of reproach : º 4 c We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour: 5 How is he numbered d among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints' 6 Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and “ the sun of righteousness rose not upon us. 7 We b wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruc- tion: yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it. e & 8 f What hath pride profited us? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us? 9 All those things are 5 passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasteth by ; 10 And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, which, when it is gone by the trace thereof cannot be found, h neither the pathway of the keel in the waves. 11 i Or as when a bird chath flown through the air there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings, and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterward no sign where she went is to be found; 12 Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man cannot know where it went through : 13 Even so we in like manner, k as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to shew ; but were con- sumed in our own wickedness. - 14 For the hope of the ungodly is like d dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm ; like as the e smoke which is " dispersed here and there with a tempest, i. passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a 8.W. # n But the righteous live for evermore ; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the Most High. 16 Therefore shall they receive a glorious f kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them. 17 He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies. 18 He shall put on " righteousness as a breast-plate, and true judg- ment instead of a helmet. - 19 He shall take 8 holiness for an invincible shield. 20 His 'P severe wrath shall be sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise. 21. Then shall the right-aiming thunderbolts go abroad, and from the clouds, as from a well-drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark. 22 q And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone-bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall|| WISDOM OF SOLOMON. | Ps 2, 4. & 37. 13.

Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and yo shall be instructed. 12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away : yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, " and found of such as seek her. 13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them. 14 Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors. 15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care. 16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth hº favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought. 17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of “ discipline, and the care of ji. is love: .8 k And love is the keeping of her laws her laws is the assurance of incorruption ; 19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God: 20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom. 21 If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore. 22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, " I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth. 23 Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom. 24 But " the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people. 25 ° Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good. . CHAPTER VII. A MYSELF also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him a that was first made of the earth; 2 And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, "being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep. 3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. 4 I was nursed in swaddling-clothes, and that with cares. 5 For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth. 6 * For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out. 7 * Wherefore, I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called wpon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. * 8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her. 9 Neither compared I unto her any “precious stone, because all gºld in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her. 10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out. 11 : All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands. - 12 And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them. and I knew not that she was the mother of them. - 13 I learned diligently, and to communicate her cliberally: I dº not hide her riches. º 14 For she is a treasure unto men, that never faileth: wºugh thºſ that a use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning. º ſº 15 e God hath . me to speak as I would, and to conceive *s. meet for the things that fare given me; because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise. 16 For in his hand are both we an and knowledge of workmanship. * 17 For he hath given me certain knowledge of the thing namely, to know how h the world was made, and the opera elements: e 18 The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alter” of the turnings of the sun, and the change of seasons: 19 The k circuits of years, and the positions of stars: . . 20 The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men: the diversitiº " plants, and the virtues of roots: - e l l 21 And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them KI] O.W. & 22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught nº for !. her is an understanding spirit, holy, 8 one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that * * * quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good. 23 in Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, g overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, most subtil spirits. & 24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion: goeth through all things by reason of her pureness. ; and the giving heed unto d our words; s all wisdom alsº s that are tion of the having all power; pure anº she passeth and 25 For she is the h breath of the power of God, and a bure' influence ${} - • ?

CHAPTER VIII. W*ISp O.M reacheth from one end to another mightily: and a sweet- ly doth she order all things. 2 I loved her, " and sought her out from my youth : I desired h to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty. 3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, " the Lord of all things himself loved her. 4. For she is “privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a “lover of his works. 5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer ‘han wisdom, that worketh all things 2 6 And if "prudence work; who of all that are, is a more cunning workman than she P 7 And if a man love righteousness, her labours are e virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life. 8. If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences; she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of 5 seasons and times. 9. Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing º she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief. - 10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the h elders, though I be young. 11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in j mired in the sight of greatmen. \ 12."

But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury where with he murdered his brother. 4 For whose cause the earth 4 being drowned with the flood, wis- om again preserved it, “ and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value. 5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confound- ed, she found out the righteous and preserved him blameless unto º and 8 kept him strong a against his tender compassion toward 1S SOI). 6 When the ungodly perished, h she deliyered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities. 7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a “standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul. 8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good ; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid. 9 But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her. 10 ! When the righteous fled from his brother’s wrath, she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours. - II " In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich. -- * 12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, " and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that godliness is stronger than all. 13 o' When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but deliver- ed him from sin : she went down with him into the pit, 14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and 6 power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him per- petual glory. * - 15.

HEREFORE by the like were they punished worthily and by the multitude of beasts * tormented. - 2 Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even º quails to stir up their appetite: . 3 To the end that they, desiring food, might, d for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them, loathe even that which they must needs desire ; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste. - 4 For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented. 5 For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon a these, and they perished with the estings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever : 6 But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be ad- monished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thv law. 7 For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, & that art the Saviour of all. 8. And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou whe deliverest from all evil: 9 For then the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life; for they were worthy to be punished by such. 10. But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame for thy mercy was ever by them,i and healed them. * . . 11 For they were "pricked, that they should remember ºfty words. and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfühness, they might be e continually mindful of thy goodness. 12 For it was jº, herb nor mollifying plaster that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things. 13 For thou hast power of life and death: thou + leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again. 14 A man indeed i.; through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; ' neither the soul received up cometh again. 15 But it is not possible to escape thy hand. * , 16 in For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid ; and through fire were they consumed. e 17 For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world " fighteth for the righteous. 18 For some time the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up o the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgment of God. 19 And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land. 20 P Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels' food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and agreeing to every taste. 21 For thy q 'sustenancé declared thy sweetness unto thy children, i. serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's iking. 22". But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies. tº sº - 23 But this again did even forget his own strength, that "the right- eous might be mourished. & 24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker, increas- eth his strength against the º for their punishment, and abat- eth his strengh for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee. 25 Therefore even then was it altered into all f fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desires of them that had need: 26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might, know, that t it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man : but that it is thy word which preserveth them that put their trust in thee... . 27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, “being warmed with a little sum-beam, soon melted away : - & 28 That it might be known that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the day-spring pray unto thee. 29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's § hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water. ; * A tº Apocrypha.

CHAPTER, XXII. A. SLOTHFUL man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace. 2 A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man of understand- that takes it up will shake his hand. 3 An evil-nurtured son is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a. [foolish] daughter is born to his loss. * A wise, daughter a shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth disfiºestly is her father’s heaviness. * 5.

In the congregation of the Most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power. 3 I came out of the mouth of the Most High, and covered the earth as a a cloud. 4 * 1 dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar. 5, I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep. 6. In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession. r 7 With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide? 8. So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel. 9 He b created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail. 10 In the * holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I es- tablished in Sion. - 11 * Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power. ... } - 12. And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord’s inheritance. - 13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress-tree upon the mountains of Hermon. - 14 I was exalted like a palm-tree in " Engaddi, and as a rose-plant in Jericho, as a fair olive-tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane- tree " by the water. 15 I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, an storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the * tabernacle. 16 As the turpentine-tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace. 17. As the vine brought I forth a pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 18 I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are e named of him. 19 Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits. & 20 For my memorial is 5 sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb. & 21.

Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse the day of thy na- tivity. #. The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words will never be re- formed all the days of his life. 16 Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath : a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a for- nicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire. 17 °.

He will not despise the supplication of the i fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint. 15 Do not the tears run down the widow’s cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall P 16 He that serveth the Lord shall be accepte prayer shall reach unto the clouds. 17 k The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he º mót be comforted ; and will not depart, till the Most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment. 18 For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them ti he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repaid vengeance to the heathen ; till he have taken away the multitude of the 6 proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous; 19 Till he have in rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy. 20 Mercy is 8 seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.

Tugº dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim : *... ? And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter ºf Chelcias, as very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord. * Her "parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter ac- °ording to the law of Moses. - * Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining !” his house : and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honºrable than all others. - t º The same year were º two of the ancients of the people i. º judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from ºpylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people. |: * These kept much at Joacim's house; and all that had any suits in ſt V ºme unto them. º Now When the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into {2} husband's garden to walk. s * the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking ; º º their lust was inflamed toward her. * º they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, m º, might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments.

Then Susanna scried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be : 43. Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me. . 44 And the ‘Lord heard her voice. 45 Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lordraised tºp the holy spirit of a young youth, whose name was Daniel: 46 these words that thou hast spoken 2 48 So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, *ye sons ôf Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel ? . 49 Return again to the place of judgment: for they have y borne false witness against her. ho cried with a loud voice, " I am clear from the blood of this woman. 47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean BEL AND THE DRAGON q Gen. 39.9. , 9, u \ft. 27.24. x Pr. 14. 15. y Ex.:20. 10. verse 40. z Pr.

And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel P 5 Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, “who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh. - 6. Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Belis a living god 2 seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day ? 7. Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within and brass without, and did never deat or drink any thing. 8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devourethe these expenses ye shall die, 3 9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then Daniel shall die : for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word. 10 Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, besides their yºnd children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple OI 562 l. 11 So Bel’s priests said, Lo, we meat, and make ready the wine, an thine own signet; - 12 And to-morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest not that Bel #" Out: but thou, O king, set on the shut the door fast, and seal fit with nath eaten up all, we will suffer death; or else Daniel, that speaketh is falsely against us. 13 And they little regarded it: £ for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things. 14 So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed. i5 Now in the night came the priests "with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.

A” it happened, after that Alexanderson of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land 4 of Chettim, had smitten Darius * king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece 2 And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the Kings of the earth, 3 * And went th sº sº many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; where- upon he was exalted, and his heart was lifted up. s 4 And he gathered a mighty strong host, and ruled over countries, and nations, and c kings, who became tributaries unto him. g 5 And after these thingshe fellsick, and perceived 8that he should die. 6 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and nad been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive. * 7 So Alexander reigned twelve years, and then died. 8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place. * 9 And after his death they all put e crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth, 10 And there came out of them " a wicked root, Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been a hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the king- dom of the Greeks. 11. In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, e who per- łuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us; for since we departed from them, “we have ad much sorrow. 12 So this device pleased them well. - e 13 Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went . º king, f who gave them license to do after the ordinances of the eathem : - 14 Whereupon they fouilt a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen: 15 And 6 made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy cove- ; and joined themselves to the heathem, and * were sold to do mis- Chlef, 16 Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he º to reign over Egypt, that he might have the dominion of two *ěaim.S. - 17. Wherefore i he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with °ºriots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy, 18 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death. 19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and he took the spoils thereof. , 29 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again ºn the hundred forty and third year, k and went up against Israel and * Sºlem with a great multitude, . *!

In the selfsame magner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and ap- pointed overseers over “ll the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, a city by city. 52 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit, every one that forsook the law ; and so they committed evils in the land; 53 & And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour. 54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, "they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side ; 55 And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets. 56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire. * 57 And wheresoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any consented to the law, the king’s commandment was, that they should put him to death. - - 58 Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities. - 59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice unto the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God. . 57 * *.* ..…& “ &#" . . Apocrypha. 60 At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, m that had caused their children to be circumcised. r 61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them. - 62 Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing. 63 Wherefore they chose rather to die, that they might not be defiled i. º and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died. - § And there was very great wrath upon Israel. CHAPTER #. N those days," arose Mattathias, the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem and dwelt in Modin. 2 And he had five sons, Joannan, " called “Caddis : - 3 Simon, called Thassi: 4 Judas who was called Maccabeus: * 5 Eleazar, called d Avaran; and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus. 6 And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem, - 7 He said, Wo is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of * my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there when it was de- livered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of sº 8 Her temple is become as a man * without glory. 9 * Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, her infants are slain in the streets, he young men with the sword of the enemy. ; What nation hath not had a partin her kingdom, and gotten of her Spoils : 1I All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is be- come a bond slave. . 12 And behold, our * sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it. 13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer ? 14 Then Mattathias and his sons • rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore. - 15. In the mean while the king's d officers, such as compelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them sacrifice. 16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together. 17 Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren : 18 Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king’s command- ment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so º thou and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy children shall be 1.

Also the king’s commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down. 26 Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God, like as Phinees k did unto Zambri the son of Salom. - 27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, say- ing, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me. - 28 So he and his sons they had in the city. ' . . 29 Then many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to f dwell there : 30 Both they, and their children, and their wives, and their cattle ; because & afflictions increased sore upon them. fled into the mountains, and left all that ever 31 Now when it was told the king's servants, and " the host that." was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king’s commandment, were gone down into the secret places in the wilderness, 32 They pursued after them a great number, and having overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war against them on the sabbath day. 83 Alid they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live. - - 34. But they said, " We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath day. . - 35 So ther, they gave ſº them the battle with ºft speed. 86 Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast the them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid i Gr. sim- plicity. o Heb. 11. 37. k Gr. souls of men. p Ps. 83. 4. q verse 31. r See Matt. 24. 16. sch.

A 65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsee give ear unto him always: he shall be a father unto you. 66 As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, eV9. º hºuth up: let him be your captain, and fight o the battle of the people. 67 Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge Ye the wrong of your people. 68 Recompense fully the heathen, ments of the law. 69 So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers. , , . 70 And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, m and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

Unto whom Judas answered, "It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few ; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company : 19 For the victory of battle standeth not i in the multitude of a host; but strength cometh from heaven. 20 They come * against us * in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us: 21 But we fight for our lives and our laws. 2" 22 Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them. 23 Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leaped suddenly upon them, and so k Seron and his host were overthrown before him. 24 And they pursued them "from the going down of Beth-horon unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fied into the land of the Philistines. 25 Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceed- ing great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them: , 26 Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas. 27 Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation : " wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army. 28 He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready * whensoever he should need them. 29 Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed, and ſthat the tributes in the country were small, because of the dis. sension and plague, which he had brought upon the land, 5 in taking away the laws which had been of old time ; 30 He feared "that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above #. kings that were before him. 31 Wherefore, being greatly a perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money. 82 So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to 9Weſsee the affairs of the king from 9 the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt: - * 33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again. 34, Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, *ºlsº concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem: ** Tº wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the P remnant of Jerusalem, "nº take away their memorial from their place; .*, And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help ? - 54 Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice. 55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even cap- tains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens. 56 But as for such as " were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or ° were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law. 57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of d Emmaus. 58 And Judas said, Arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary: 59 ° For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calami- ties of our people and our sanctuary. - 60 Nevertheless, f as the will % God is in heaven, so let him do. CHAPTER IV. HEN took a Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of camp by night; 2 To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides. 3 Now when Judas heard thereof, he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king’s army which was at " Emmaus, 4 While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp. - 5. In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas and when he found no man ...i. sought them • in the mountains: for, said he, These fellows flee from us. - - 6 But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither “armour nor swords to their minds. 7. And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong, and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war. : 8. Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault. 9 Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red kcloth, and cast ashes 11eathen had Sea, when 10 Now therefore let us ory unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day: 11 That so all the heathen may know that there is one who deliver- eth and saveth Israel. 12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them. - 13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets. / hº i. they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain. i." Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slaim with the sword: for they pursued them unto "Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them about three thousand men. - --, -- 16 This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them, 17 And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoils, inasmuch as there is a battle before us, 18 And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain; but stand e now against our enemies, and overcome inem, and after this ye may {j take the spoils. . 19 As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain: 20 Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight, and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done : 21 When therefore they and seeing also the host of 22 They fled every one into the land of strangers. º these things, they were sore afraid, udas in the plain ready to fight. 59 Apocrypha - 23 Then Judas returned to spol, the tents, where they got much and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches. 24 After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, Because his mercy en- dureth for ever. 25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day. 26 Now, all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened : - 27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass. 28 The next year therefore following, Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them. 29 So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men. 30 And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed, and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, d who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of t strangers into the hands of “Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armour earer ; 31 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen: 82 Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength toº fall away, and let them quake at their destruction: 33 Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving. 34 So they joined battle ; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain. 35 Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas’soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again unto Judea. . gold, 36 Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are dis-iſ. ºf Or, comfited : let us go up to cleanse and e dedicate the sanctuary. 37 Upon this j the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion. 38 And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar pro- faned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in the forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests’ chambers pulled down; 39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads, 1.

They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt-offerings, and of incense, and the table. 50 And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple. 5] Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread fout vails, and finished all the works which they had begun to make. 52 Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up times in the morning, - 53 And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt- offerings, which they had made. 54 Look, at what time and what the God of heaven, who had given them good success. 56 And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and offered burnt-offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of 5 deliverance and praise. 57. They decked also the fore front of the . and with shields; and the gates and the cham * hanged doors upon them. -- - 58 Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathem was put away. 59 Moreover Judas, and his brethren, with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kent in their season from year io year by the space of eight days, from the and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness. 60 At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals. 55.

OW when the nations round about heard that the altar was built and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased them very much 2. Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that WàS mong them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people. 3. Then Judas fought against the chiluren of Esau in Idumea at Ara- battine, “because they besieged Israel: and he gave them a great over- throw, and abated their courage, and took their spoils. 4 Also he remembered the "injury of the children of Bean, " who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways. 5 He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein. 6 Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a. *g. power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain. 7 So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were dis- comfited before him ; and he smote them. 8 And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging thereto, he returned into Judea. : 9 Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves to- gether against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them, but they fled to the fortress of Dathema, 10 And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy as: 11 And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host. 12 Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain : 18 Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away cap- tives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men. 14 While these letters were messengers from Galilee with t Wise, 15. And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and of Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consumeus. 16 Now when Judas and the people heard these words, they assem- bled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them. ; reading, behold, there came other eir clothes rent, who reported on this 17 Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad. g 18.

So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, say- ing, All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host. 39 He hath also hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee.

Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was. .50 So the soldiers pitched, º the city all that day and all that night, till at length the city was delivered into his hands: .51 Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, º took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that Were Slain. 52 After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan. 53 And Judas gathered together those that m came behind, and n exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea. #4 So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered ºburnt-offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace. - .56 Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais. *6 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done. 57.

Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people to- gether to besiege them. - 20 So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines. 2I Howbeit, certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves: 22 And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren? 23 We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments; 24 For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienat- ed from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance. . 25 Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against all their borders. 26 And behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified. 27 Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them. 28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together i. º friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the hOrse. * + 29 There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers. 30 So that the number of his army was a hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle. 31 These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burnéd them with fire and fought . 32 Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacha- rias, over against the king's camp. 33 Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle and sounded the trumpets. 34 And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries. 35 Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for ever elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and wit helmets of brass on their heads; and besides this, for every beast were or dained five hundred horsemen of the best. - 36 These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beastwent, . went also, neither departed they from him. 37 And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, be- sides the Indian that ruled him. tº & 38 As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host, "giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks. - 6] Jipocrypha. 39 Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire. g 40 So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order. 41. Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty. 42 Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king’s army six hundred men. 43 Eleazar also, surnamed Savarān, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him, wº gº & 44 Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name: tº 45'Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, “ so that they were divided from him on both sides. * 46 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there; I.

After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt-sacrifice that was offered for the king. 34 But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and abused " them shamefully, and spake proudly. 35 And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host hº now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again Pin safety, I W burn up this house; and with that he went out in a great rage, 36 Then the priests entered in, and stood before the altar and the temple, weeping, and saying, 37 Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people: 38 Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the he died. 47 Howbeit, the rest ºf the Jews º; the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. 48 || Then the king’s army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents f against Judea, and against mount Sion, 49 But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for 5 they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land. e * 5ö So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it. 51 As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and " set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings. e º w e 52 Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season. 53 Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store ;) 54 There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse them- selves, every man to his own place. º 55 At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, while he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king, 56 Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king’s host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs. 57 Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the º We decay daily, and our victuals]; . are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us: 58 Now therefore ſet us k be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation; - 59 And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before : for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws. 60 So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace ; and they accepted thereof. 61 Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: where- upon they went out of the strong hold. * 62 Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he brake his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about. - 63 Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom, - 5 There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain: 6 And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his bre- thren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land. 7 Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havoc he hath made among us, and in the king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them. 8 Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, who ruled beyond the flood, and was a great man in the kingdom, and faithful to the king. 9 And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel. 10 So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peace- able words deceitfully. 11 But, they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power. - 12. Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bacchides a company of scribes, to require justice i. : remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any onger. 35 So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Beth- horon, where a host out of Syria met him. 40 But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and there he prayed, saying, & 4i º O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyriº blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote a hundred fourscore and five | thousand of them. 42 Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest ſº. know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness. & 43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle ; Nienor, host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the attle. - tº 44 Now when Nicanor’s host saw that he was slain, they cast away their weapons, and fled. t 45.

CHAPTER VIII. OW Judas had heard of the fame of the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them ; * 2 And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, • and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute; 3 And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there. 4 And that by their policy and patience they had conquered " all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had dis-l. comfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year: * * * * 5 Besides this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Per- Seus, king of the 6 Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them: g 6 How also Antiochus, the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having a hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them ; 7 And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon, 8 And the country of India, and Media, and Lydia, and of the good- liest countries, which they took of him, and gavé to king Eumenes: * Moreover how the Grecians had determined to come and destroy them; 10 And that they, having knowledge thereof, sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and car- ried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day: 11 It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under # dominion all other kingdoms . isles that at any time resisted em; 12 But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept alnity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, in- 80much as all that heard of their name were afraid of them : 13 Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those reign; and : *in they would, they displace: finally, that they were greatly €Xafted : . 14. Yet for all this none of them wore a crown, or was clothed in Purple, to be magnified thereby : 15 Moreover #. they had made for themselves a senate-house, Wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting always for the people, to the end they may be well orderéd : 16 And that they committed their government to one man every year, Wh9 ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, *nd that there was neither envy nor emulation among them. 37 In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus the son 9f John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confederacy with them, 18:#nd to entreat them that they would take theyoke from them; for they *W that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitudé. 19. They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said, * Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, 3 have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends. 21 So that matter pleased the Romans well. 2?

After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride Apocrypha, 32 If therefore they complain any more against thee, we will do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land. CHAPTER IX. URTHERMORE, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, a he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host: -- 2 Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitch- - ed their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it they slew much people. 3 Also, the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem: 4 From whence they moved and went to 4 Berea, with twenty thou- Sand footmen, and two thousand horsemen. 5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him: - 6 Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so great, were sore afraid ; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as there abode of them no more but eight hundred men. 7. When Judas therefore saw that his host º away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, * and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together. 8 Nevertheless, unto them that remained, he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them. * 9 But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: elet us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our bre- thren, and fight against them : for we are but few. 10 Then Judas said, " God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them ; if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and flet us not stain our honour. II, With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against & them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host, and they that marched in the forward were all mighty men. . 12 As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets. 13 They also of Judas’ side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so "that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till might. 14 Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his sº were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men, 15 Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto the mount Azotus. . - 16 But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind: 17 Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts. s 18 ° Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled. - 19. Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in fModin. - 20 Moreover & they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamen days, saying, 21 h. How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel ! 22 As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many. . 23 iſ Now after the death of Judas, the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniqui '. 24 In those ty. - ăys also was there a very great famine, by reason them. Judas’ friends came together, and said unto and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that But the children of ſambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and 63 Apocrypha from o Nadabatha witn a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan. & 38. Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain : 39 Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and behold, there was much ado and • great carriage; and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, p and 9 instru- ments of music, and many weapons. * 40 Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils. 41 Thus was P the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their q melody into lamentation. º 42 So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan. 43 Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power. 44 Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day as in time past: 45 For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside. -- & 46 Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. e 47. With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him. 48 Then Jonathan and they that were with him leaped into Jordan, and swam over unto the farther bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them. 49 So there were slain of Bacchides’ side that day about a "thou- sand men. . 50 Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem, and repaired the strong cities in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Beth- horon, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and t Taphon, these did - he strengthen with high walls, with gates, and with bars. 51 And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel. 52 He fortified also w the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals. 53 Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept. 54 Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the Sanctuar j tº 55 And as he began t to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus “plagued, and his enterprises hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house. 56 So Alcimus died at that time with great terment. 57 Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king ; whereupon the land of Judea was in rest twoBj 58 #. all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jona- than and his company are at ease, and dwell without care : now there- ; we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night. § So they went and y consulted with him. 60. Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him : howbeit they could not,” because their coun- sel was known unto them. 61. Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them. 62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong. 63 Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his a host, and sent word * to them that were of Judea. 64 Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season, and made engines of war. 65. But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth him- self into the country, and with a certain number went he forth. 66 And, he smote y Odomarkes and his brethren Phasiron in their tent. 67 And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up b the gines of war, 68 And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain. 69 Wherefore, he was very wroth at the s wicked men that gave counsel to come into the country, insomuch that he slew many of them, purposed to return into his own country. 70 Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, " to the end he should nake peace with him, and deliver them prisoners. 71 Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life. 72 When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land * neither a came he any more into their borders. should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of , and the children of #.

CHAPTER X. HN the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, a the son of Antio- chus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took “ Ptolemais : for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there. 2 Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight. 3 Moreover, Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him. 4 For, said he, 9 Let us first make Alexander against us: 5. Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people. * 6 *ś. he gave him authority to gather together a host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle: he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should be delivered him. 7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the au- dience of all the people, and of them that were in the d tower 8 Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had giver him authority to gather together a host. . 9 Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jona- peace with him, before he join with ‘than, and he delivered them unto their parents. 10. This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to |build and repair the city. 11 And he commanded the workmen to build f the walls and the mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification; and they did so. 12. Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built, fled away ; 13 Insomuch as every man country. 14 Only at Beth sura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge. 15 Now when º had heard what promises Demetrius g had sent unto Jonathan : when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured, 16 He said, Shall we find such another man 2 now therefore we will make him our friend and confederate. 17 Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying, 18 %. Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting: 19 We have heard of thee that thou art a man of great power, an meet to be our friend. -- 20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called ithe king’s friend; (and therewithaſ he sent him “a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us. 21 So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour. 22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and said, 23 What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in Inaking amity with the Jews to strengthen himself? 24. I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and pro- mise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid. 25 He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting: º 26 Whereas ye have kept in covenants with us, and continued in Our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad. - g 27 Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our behalf, 28 And will grant you many immunities, and give you rewards. 29 And now do I free you, and for your sake Irelease all the Jews, ° from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes; . 30 And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third º of the seed, and the hº of the fruit of the trees, I release it frºm ay forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor ºf the overnments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samº- left his 'place, and went into his own the borders thereof, both it. and new moonS, thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belong; holds, of whom 64 JApocrypha. and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in land of Judea. 38 And concerning " the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest’s. 39 As for x Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, I give it as a 4 free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary expenses º of the sanctuary. 40 Moreover I give every year fifteen flousand shekels of silver out of the king's accounts from the places appertainin 41 And all the overplus, which the officers time, from henceforth shall be given toward t that minister. º: not in as in former e works of the y temple. 42 And besides this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests f.

And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius’ host fled but Alexander followed after him, and “prevailed against them. 50 And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went down and that day was Demetrius slain. 51. Afterward Alexander sent d ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect: 52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country; 53 For after ſhad joined battie with him, both he and his host was; discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom: 54 Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife : and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her gifts according to thy dignity. 54 Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, sayin the throne of their kingdom. * 56 And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written: meet me there- fore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will marry my daughter to thee's according to thy desire. 57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year: ave unto him his daughter #. with great glory, ,58.

Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear : and so Jonathan won Joppe. 77 Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horse men, with a great host % ſº and went to " Azotus * as one that journeyed, and therewithal f drew him forth into the plain, because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust. 78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle. 79 Now 3 Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in ambush. 80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening. - - 81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the 8 enemies’ horses were tired. - 82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the § (for the horsemen were spent,) who were discomfited by him, 3,1] (; 1162C1. 83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to ‘Azotus, and went into Beth-dagon, their idol’s temple, for safety, 84 But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and i. cities round about it, and took their spoils; § º u temple of Dagon, with them that were fled with fire. - 85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men. --- - 86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against * Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp. 87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having many spoils. 88. Now, when king Alexander heard these things, he honoured Jonathan y yet more, - 89 And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king’s blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

Then Jonathan met the king 4 with great pomp at Joppe, where they Afterward. Jonathan, when he had gone with the king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem. King Ptolemee therefore, having gotten the dominion of the cities b sea unto Seleucia upon the sea-coast, imagined e wicked counseſs 63 Also he made him sit by himself, and said unto his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man com- plain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any man- her of cause. 64 Now when his m accusers saw that he was honoured according to the Proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away. 65 So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and d partaker of his dominion. . * Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with peace and gladness. "7 Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth year came Deme- trius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers: 68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell he was right sorry, and re- turned into Antioch. 99 Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his gene- tal, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying, > 70. Thou alone liſtest up thyself against us, and " I am laughed to scorn r.thy sake, and reproached ; and why dost thou vaunt thy power against * in the mountains?” * Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to ...to the plain fiéld, and there let us try the matter together: for with me against Alexander. in the * ; the cities I let us make a league betwixt us, and I will Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in thy 9 Whereupon he sent ambassadors unto king Demetrius, saying, Come, #. thee f . daughter whom ather's kingdom: 10 For Irepent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me. 11 Thus did he 5 slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom. 12. Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known. 13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he sat two herowns upon his head, the crown of Asia and of Egypt. 14. In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from him. 15 But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight. 16 So Alexander fled into i Arabia, there to be defended, but king Pto- lemee was exalted : 17 For Zabdiel the Arabian, took off Alexander's head, and sent it unto Ptolemee. 18 King Ptolemee also died the third day after, b and they that were in the strong holds were slain one of another. 19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year. 20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in 65 •Apocrypha. * Judea, to take the k tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it. ** unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower. 22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately remov- Ing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste. . - 23 Nevertheless Jonatham, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still ; and he chose certain of the elders of Israel, and the priests, and put himself in peril ; - 24 And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, in where he found favour in his sight. 25 And though certain * ungodly men of the people had made com- plaints against him, . 26 Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends, 27 And confirmed him in 9 the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him pre-eminence among his chief friends. 28 Then Jonathan desired the "... that he would make PJudea free from tribute, as also the q three governments, with the country of Sa- maria; and he promised him three hundred talents. 29 So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner: 30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonatham, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting: 31 We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it. - 32 King Demetrius unto his father Lasthènes sendeth greeting: 83 We are determined to do good unto the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us. 34 ° Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, in- stead of the payments which the king received of them yearly afore- time out of th. fruits of the earth and of trees. 35 And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the salt-pits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief 36 And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever. 37 Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be delivered unto Jonatham, and set upon the holy mount in a con- spicuous place. . J . 38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen : wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him. 39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simalcyte the Arabian, that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander. -: 40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: he told him therefore aii that Demetrius had done, and "how his men of war were at enmity with him; and there he remained a long season. - 41 In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of * the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel. 42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will y greatly honour thee and thy na- tion, if opportunity serve. - “. . 43 Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces have gone from me. - 44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch; and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming. - 45 Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered themselves toge- gether into the midst of the city, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king. 46 Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight. 47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city, slew that day in the city to the number of a hundred thousand. 48 Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that day, and a livered the king. 49. So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to king, and cried, saying, . I. MACCABEES B.

By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel’s sake, and I am left alone. 5 Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine own life in any time of trouble : for I am no better than my brethren. 6 Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice. 7 Now as soon as the º heard these words, their spirit revived. 8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother. 9 Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever thou commandest us, that will we do. * 10 So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about. 11 Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a great power, to Joppe: who casting out them that were therein, remained there in it. .. 12 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great power to in- vade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward. 13 But Simon pitched his tents at Adida over against the plain. 14 Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent mes- sengers unto him, saying, * 15. Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king’s treasure, * concerning the business that was committed unto him. 16. Wherefore now send a hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us and we will let him go. 17 Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him, yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people: 18 Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead. 19 So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled, neither would he let Jonathan go. 20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it oing round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon an is host marched against him in every prace, wheresoever he went. 21 Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilder- ness, and send them victuals. 22. Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head..!,9;i`... not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad. 40.

Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou put all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us? . 43. Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait 9m thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and ſhe rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as 9 me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming. 49 So Jonathan, a believing him, did as he bade him, and sent away his 27 Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the º with hewn stone, behind and before. 28 Moreover, he set up seven P. one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren. 29 And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour, for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea. 30 This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day. ost, who went into the land of Judea. 31 Now #yphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antiochus, and 47. And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he slew him. **ºnt two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him. 48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates, and took him, and all them that came with him they slew With the sword. * Then sent Tryphon a host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company. t º But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were **ºn and slain, they encouraged one another, and went close together, Prepared to fight. * They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again. tº: Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there º bewailed Jonathan and them that were with him, and they were sore ; Ti Wherefore all Israel made great lamentation. - hem: hen all the heathen that were round about them sought to destroy ºn; for, said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now. hereforeietus make waſ upon them, and take away their memorial from *mong men 32 And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land. 33. Then Simon built up the strong, holds in Judea, and fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars, and laid up victuals & therein. 34 Moreover, Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because “all that Tryphon did was to spoil. P. Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner: 36 King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting: 37 The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received : and we are ready to make a steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we have ranted. g 38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall stand; and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be your own. 39 As for any oversight or fault committed into this day, we forgive 67 Apocrypha - it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us; and if there were any ºf other 40 be enrolled, and let there be peace betwixt us. 41 hundred and seventieth year. tº a ºn tº e 42 Then the people of Israel began to write in their instruments and contracts, In the first leader of the Jews. s g 43 In those days Simon camped against Gaza, and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and bat- tered a certain tower, and took it. e e 44 And they that were in the engine leaped into the city; whereupon there was a great uproar in the city. 45 upon voice, beseeching Simon d to grant them peace: - 46 And they said, Deal not with us according to our wickedness, but according to thy mercy. - 47 them idols 48 as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built 49 They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor buy, nor sell ; tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.

So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pil- lars in mount Sion; and this is the copy of the writing ; The § day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest, 28 At "Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, and people and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, were these things notified unto us. 29 Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simón the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his bre- thren, put themselves in jeopardy, and, resisting the enemies of their nation, did their nation great honour: 30 (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people, 31 Their enemies purposed to invade their country, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary: wherefore they were in great distress for want of victuals, and a greatº.”| 32 Åt which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent number of them perished through famine. ...

Moreover, the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger that it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company. 53 And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the host ; and he dwelt in Gazara. CHAPTER XIV. Nºw in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius ga- thered his forces together, and went into Media, to get him help to fight against Tryphon. - 2. But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Deme- trius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive: 3 Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward. - º 4 As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon ; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased then well. 5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea, 6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country, . 7 And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and Bethsūra, and the tower, out of the which he took all unclean- ness, neither was there any that resisted him. & 8 Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave her in- crease, and the trees of the field their fruit. 9 The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of “good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel. 10. He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of mu- nition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world. 11 He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy: 12 For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them : 13 Neither was there any left in the land to fight against them: yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those days. 14 Moreover, he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away. 15 He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied the vessels of the temple. 16 Now when it was heard at Rome, as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry. . 17 But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein : 18 They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren : 19 Which writings were read before the congregation at Jerusalem. 20 And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and the priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our bre- thren, send greeting: 2] The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming, 22 And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner, Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us. - lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the d armour of the enemies had been before ; but he set a garrison of Jews there : - 34 Moreover, he fortified J oppe, which lieth upon the sea, and e Gazara, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.) - 35. The people therefore, seeing the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people. 36 For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurtſ in the holy place: 87 But he placed Jews therein, and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem. 38 King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things, 39 And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour 40 For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably; 41. Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be º: governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet; - 42 Möreover, that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary ; - 43. Besides this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold: 44. Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an as: sembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear 4 buckle of gold: 45 And whosoever s should be punished. ; º Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and do as hath been S8.1 Ol. 47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high pries, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all. 48 So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in * conspicuous place ; 49. Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

Tº came up John from Gazara, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done. 2. Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father’s house, have ever from our youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes. & ºl's and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen. #: b 3 But ". º old, º Kºi...

" 20 It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them. 21 If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto, Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law. 22 The same things wrote he likewise unto Demetrius the king, and At- talus, to " Ariarathes, and Arsaces, 23 And to all the countries, and to "Sampsames, and the Lacedemonians, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, and Samos, and Pam- phylia, and Lycia, and Halicarnassus, and Rhodus, and º Phaselis, and Cos, and Side, and Arados, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene. 24 And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high priest. 25 So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second day, ” as- Sºulting it continually, and making engines, by which means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in. , 26 At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to aid him ; silver also, and gold, and much armour. 27 Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became strange unto him. 28 Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to com- mune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppe and Gazara, with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm. 29 The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places within my kingdom. 30 Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, and the tributes ºf the places whereof ye have gotten dominion e without the borders of u063. 31 Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: if not, we will come andf fight against you. 32. So Athenobius the king’s friend came to Jerusalem; and when he 88W the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king's message. 33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken §ther men's land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the in- heritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession & Certain time. # Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of our fathers. * And whereas thou demandest Joppe and Gazara, albeit they did great *m unto people in our country, yet will we give a hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word; * But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: where- "Pon the king was exceeding wroth. *--— and they captains of thousands. horsemen, who went out against C Modin. § And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, be- hold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them. *... 6 So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were ; to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him, passed through after him. 7 That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies’ horsemen were very many. 8 Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: ºn Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the rem- nant gat them to the strong hold. - 9 At that time was Judas, John's brother, wounded; but John still fol- lowed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built. 10 * So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace. 11 Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold: 12 For he was the high priest’s son in law. 13 Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them. 14 Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came downhimself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat: 15 Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there. 16 So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants. f 17 ºwhich doing he committed a great treachery, and recompensed evil or good. - . 18. Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him a host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and Clties. 19 He sent others also to Gazara to kill John ; and unto the "tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards. 20 ºna others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple. 21 Now one had run afore to Gazara, and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolémee hath sent to slay thee also. 22 Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished : so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away. 23 As .# the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings, endebeus, and rested that night at 24 Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father. *I THE SPEC®NTD BO)4}|{{ CHAPTER I.

It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts; 3 Insomuch that Seleucus king of Asia, of his own revenues, the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices. f 4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor 9 the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city. . 5 And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Pheniçe, 6 And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sº of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertº to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hand. - - & h 7 Now when Apoiſonius came to the king, and had shewed him of . money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the aforesaid moº::::: 8 So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey, under a colour of yºg the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king's º: 9 And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteº i. ceived of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligº. given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if the things were so indeed. , • 10.

Then it j. itied a man to see the falling down of the multi- tude of all sorts, and the 9 fear of the high priest, being in such an agony. 22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things com- mitted of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them. 23 Nevertheless, Heliodorus executed that which was decreed. 24 Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasu- ry, the “Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great appari- tion, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid. 25 For there appeared unto them a horse with a terrible rider upon him, §nd adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his fore feet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold. 26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side, and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes. 27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed With great darkness : but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter. ...?8. Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God: 39 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless with- out all hope of life. - 30 But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own Place: for the temple, which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, When the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. * Then straightway certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the Most High, to grant him his § who lay ready \o give up the ghost. * So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that #9tnº, treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacri- fice for the health of the man. 33 Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young º in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, * Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the }. nath granted thee life: . ſº And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto * †en, the mighty power of God.

That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of * Discus called them forth ; * 15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all. . 16 By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them : for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnest- ly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things. 17 For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws of God: but the time following shall declare these things. . 18 Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present, 19 This ungracious Jason sent "special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon º sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other C Ila, I O €S. 30’ſ his money then, in regard to the sender, was appointed to Hercules' sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of galleys. f 21 Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into #! for the e coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understand- ing him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety : whereupon he came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem.; . - 22. Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch light, and witn great slic utings: and so after- ward went with his host unto Phenice. gº ºn Jºº-ºº º 23 Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the aforesaid Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary matters. g 24 But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had mag- nified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. 25 Só he came with the king’s mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a Savage beast. 26. Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites. 27 So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it : albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it 28 For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king. 29 Now Menelaus left his brother lysimachus in his stead in the priest- hood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians. 80 While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king's concubine, called Antiochis. 31 Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Androni cus, a man in authority, for his º * 32 Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about. 33 Which when Onias knew of a sûrety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia. & 34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oath ; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary : whom forth with he shut up without regard of justice. 85 For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other - 71 JApocrypha. nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man. w fe 36 And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause. 37 Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead. 38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Androni- cus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord re- warded him his punishment as he had deserved. 39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menalaus, and the bruit thereof was .II.

CHAPTER. V. A*. the same time Antiochus prepared his second voyage into t gypt : . • . . 2 And then it happened, that through all the city, for the space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band of soldiers, 3 And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and running one against another, with shaking of shields, and multitude of pikes, a andſ swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments, and har- ness of all sorts. 4 Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might turn to good. 5 Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a thousand men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city ; and they that were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length taken, Menelaus fled into the castle: . 6 But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to #. the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for im; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered. 7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last re- ceived shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. - 8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in º as an open "enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt. 9 Thus he that had driven many out of their country, perished in a and thinking there to find suc- | strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, cour by reason of his kindred : - 10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers. 11 Now when this that was done came to the king’s ear, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms, 12 And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses. I3 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away of men, wo- drawing of such was the haughtiness of his mind. 22 And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, for his ºy a Phrygian, and for manners more barbarous than he that set him ere; 23 And at Garizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest bare a heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews. - 24 He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort: 25 Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did forbear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews keeping holy day, he com- manded his men to arm themselves. ~ 26 And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sab- bath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes. 27 But Judas Maccabeus c with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew him. self into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution. CHAPTER WI. Nº. long after this the king sent an old man of a Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God : 2 And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of stran- gers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place. -- 3 The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people: 4. For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with hariots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the hº and besides that brought in things that were not lawful, 5. The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law forbiddeth. 6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient feasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew. 7 And in the day of the king's birth, every month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices; and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were compelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carry- II, Q IVW. g Mºreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the then, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they observé the some fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices: 9 And whoso would not conform themselves to the manners of the Gen. tiles should be put to death. Then might a man have seen the present IIllSery. e 10, For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes hanging at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall. 11 And others, that had run together into caves nearby, to keep the sab- bath day, secretly, being discovered to Philip, were j burnt together, because they jº a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day. & 12 Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation. 13 For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers ** not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished. - 14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth tº punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us, 15 Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterward he should take vengeance of us. - h 15 And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us ; and thoug he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people. 17 But let this that we have spoken be for a warning unto us.

And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment: 29 They that led him changing the good will they bare him a little before into hatred, because the aforesaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, from "a desperate mind. 30 But . he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by }. ºn: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because Cálſ ſll Iſl. 31 And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble gourage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation. CHAP'I'ER VII. hº came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips. 2 But one of them that spake first said thus, What wouldest thou ask or #. of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of our athers. º the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and caldrons to be Iſla (he hot : - 4 Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on. 5 Now when he was thus mained in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan; and as the Vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus, 6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as . Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants. ~. 7 So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the second tº make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be pu- nished throughout every member of thy body ? 8 But he answered in his own language, and said, No. Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the former did. 9 And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us 9üt of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, into everlasting life. 10 After him was the third made a mocking stock: and when he was re- łºś. put out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth his hands anfully, !!. And said courageously, These I had from heaven ; and for his laws I despise them; and from him'ſ hope to receive them again. * Insomuch that the king, and they that were with Him, marvelled at the Wºng man’s courage, for that he nothing regarded the pains. * Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and mangled the fourth in like manner. **, So when he was ready to die, he said thus, It is good, being put to Heath by men, to look for hope from God to be raised up again by him : as for thee, hou'słait have no resurrection to life. * Afterwards they brought the fifth also, and mangled him. º Then looked hé unto the king, and said, Thou hast, power over men, * ºr corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt; yet think not that our na- tion is forsaken of God; | But abide awhile, and behold his great power, how he will torment thee and thy seed. 18 After him also they brought the sixth, who, being ready to die, said, ...not deceived without causeſ: for we suffer these things for ourselves, ..", Sinned against our God: therefore marvellous things are done * But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive against God, that thou *ºt escape unpunished. m: ºut the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable mory: for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one tº in the Lord. a manly stomach, she said unto them, 22 I cannot tell how ye came into my womb ; for I neither gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that formed the members of every one of you; 23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your ownselves for his ſaws: sake. 24 Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs. 25 But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life. - 26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised him that she would counsel her son. 27 But she, bowing herself towards him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education. 28 Ibeseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of things that were not and so was mankind made likewise. 29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death, that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren. r 30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said, Whom wait ye for 2 I will not obey the king’s commandment: but I will obey the commandment of the iaw that was given unto our fathers by Moses. 31 And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the He- brews, shalt not escape the hands of God. 32 For we suffer because of our sins. 33 And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants, 34 But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God - 35. For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty God, who seeth all things. 36 For our brethren, who have now suffered a short pain, are dead under God’s covenant of everlasting life; but thou, through #. judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride. - 37 But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be merciful unto our na- º iºd that thou by torments and plagues mayest confess, that he alone }S Uſ O ( : 38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon all our nation, may cease. 39 Then the king, being in a rage, handled him worse than all the rest and took it grievously that he was mocked. 40 So this man died undefiled, and put his whole trust in the Lord, 41 Last of all, after the sons, the mother died. - 42 Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.

Then forthwith choosing Nicamor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience. 10. So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents. which the king was to pay to the Romans 73 sore defaced, and blood that cried Apocrypha. 11. Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, roclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent; not expecting the ven- geance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God. 12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor’s coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that the ariny was at hand, 13 They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of God, fled, and conveyed themselves away. y 14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, being sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together: i5 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were called. 16 So wrongfully against them; but to fight manfully, 17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the crueſ handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers: 18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our con- fidence is in the Almighty God, who at a beck can cast down both them that eome against us, and also all the world. 19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their forefathers had were delivered, when under Sennacherib a hundred found, and how the º fourscore and five thousand perished. 20 And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the § thousand destroyed a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the he p that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty. 21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and ready to die for the laws and the country, he divided his army into four parts; 22 And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men. 23 Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had É. them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first and, he joined battle with Nicanor. 24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight; 25 And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned : 26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them. * 27 Sö when they had gathered " their armour together, and spoiled enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them. 28, And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the * maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants. 29 When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants for ever. 30 Moreover, of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the “maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves. 31, And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all car fully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils brought to Jerusalem. 32 They slew also Philarches that wicked person, who was with Timo- theus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways. 33 Furthermore, at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in gates, for his their country, they burnt Callistnenes, that had set fire upon the holy who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet wickedI, ess. 34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews, 35 He was, through the help of the Lord, brought down by them of whom he made least account ; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch, having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroved. 36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute | º j abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they fol- by means of the captives in Jerusalem, tol lowed the laws that he gave them.

But the altars which the heathen had built in the open street, and also the chapels, they pulled down. 3 And having cleansed the temple, they made another altar, and set forth ineense, and lights, and shew bread. 4 When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, Apocrypha disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore com manded he his chariot man to drive without ceasing, and to despatch the journey, the judgment of God now following #. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, smote him with an in- curable and invisible plague: for as soon as he had spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts; 6 And that most justly: for he had tormented other men's bowels with many and strange torments. 7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey : but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained. 8 And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he bj the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in a horse litter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God, 9 So that the worms rose u out of the body of this wicked man, and ile he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army. 10 And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his intolerable stink. 11 Here therefore bein and to come to the iº plagued, he * to leave off his great pride, dge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain reasing every moment. 12, And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself, as if he were God. 3. This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord (who now no more upon him) saying thus, ch as buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the ſº and wild beasts, he would make them all equals with the citizens of All 162T1S : 16 And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy yessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices: 17, Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God. 18 But for all this his pains would not cease : for the just judgment of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letters underwritten, containing the form of a supplication after this manner: - 19 Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citizens, wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity : 20 If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to your con- tentment, I give very great thanks to God, having my hope in heaven. 21 As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered kindly your honour and good will. º Returning out of Persia, and being taken with a º disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety 8 : i.

He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalam two hundred and forty furlongs off. 10 Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their jour- ney towards Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon hirn. 11 Whereupon there was a very sore battle : but Judas’s side, by the help of God, gat the victory; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being over- come. besong.ht Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise. 12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted then peace: whereupon they shook hands, and so they & d parted to their tents. 13. He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people of divers countries; and the name of it was Caspis. 14 But they that were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely towards them that were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken. 15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls, 16 And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaugh- ters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood. 17. Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called Tubieni. 18 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places: for before he had despatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold. 19. Howbeit, Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus's captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men. 20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them e over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him a hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen. 21 Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Jutlas's coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage into a fortress called Carnion: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places. 22 But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smit- ten with fear and terror through the appearing of him that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords. 23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men. 24 Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews’ parents, and the brethren of some of then, who, if they had put him to death, should not be regarded. 25 So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without nurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren. * * 26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the temple of * Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand persons. | 37 And with that he began in his own language, and sung psalms . lºud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias's men, he put them to flight. .” 38 ‘g. Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam. And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom Wäs, and kept the sabbath in the same place. 39 And upon the day following, ſ as the use had been, Judas and his com- pany came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers’ graves. 40 Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by * the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain - - 41 All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, who had opened the things that were hid, - 42 Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin com: mitted might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain. 43 And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a Sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection : - * 44 For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have rises again, it had bee.1 superfluous and vain to pray for the dead. 45 And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly. (It was a holy and good thought.) ...Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from Slm. CHAPTER XIII. - H\ the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea, & e 2 And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, º either of them a Grecian power, of footmen a hundred and ten thousan", and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks. º * ... 3 Ménelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulatiº encouraged Kºº. not for the safeguard of the country, but because };e thought to have been made governor. • * *... .s. 4 But the King of kings moved Antiochus's mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the causº of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to Pº" him to death, as the manner is in that place. • sº 5 Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ash; * it had a round instrument, which on every side hanged down into * 8. S II CºS. 6 And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death. . 7. Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not having as burial in the earth ; and that most justly: - 8 For insomuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes. e 9. Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do ſar worS to the Jews, than had been done in his father’s time. 10 Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the ºn call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law country, and from the holy temple: x, Keen, but 11, And that he would not suffer the people, that " had even h9W been B a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nation. ifuí 12 So when they had all done this together, and besought the injërël so much ultitude to 3. he would from their 76 JApocrypha.

So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the cap- tain had made the multitude acquainted there with, and it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants, 21, And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: and when the day caume, and stools were set for either of them, 22 Judas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemiès: so they made a peaceable conſerence. - 23 Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him. 24, And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he * e hé Victory is of Goi ;, with the most valiant and choice young men, he '..."; loved the man from his heart. went into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp about fourjº Hi- 25 He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were together married, was quiet, and " took part of this life. upon him. ; P. And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, and de- parted with good success. 17. This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him. 18 Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about 10 take the holds by policy, 19 And marched towards Bethsura which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his men: 20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such things as were necessary. 2 I But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews’ host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison. 22. The king treated with them in Bethsura the second time, gave his hand, took theirs, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome ; 23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, c was des- perately bent, confounded, entreated the Jews, subunitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place, 24 And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians; 25 Came to Ptolemais : the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed because they would make their covenants void : 26 Lysias went up to the judgment seat, said as inuch as could be in de- fence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king's coming and departing. CHA PT ER X | V. FTER three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius, the son of i. Selucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis with a great power and navy, 2 Hºſtaken the country, and killed Antiochus, and Lysias his protector, 3. Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar, 4 Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, pre- Senting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were 6 used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace. 5. Howbeit, having gotten opportunity to further his foolish enterprise, and being called into council by Demetrins, and asked how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he answered thereunto: 6 Those of the Jews that be called Assideans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war, and are seditious, and will not let the realm be In peace. - 7. Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors’ honour, I mean the high priesthood, am now come hither: .8 First verily for the unfeigned care I have of things pertaining to the king ; and secondly, even for that I intend the good of mine own coun- tryinen : for all our nation is in no small misery through the unadvised dealing of them aforesaid. 9 Wherefore, O king, seeing thou knowest all these things, be careful for the country, and our nation, which is pressed on every side, according to the clemency that thou readily she west unto all. º, For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet. ! ! This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius. 12 And forth with calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth, , 13 Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the gret temple. !4 Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to . by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities of the Jews to be their # ré. - & 15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the heathen Wºre tip against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made suppli- Sºon, to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence. 16 S6 at the commandment of the captain they removed straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town of Dessau. 17 Now Simon, Ju las's brother, had joined battle with Nicamor, but was Bojºwhat disconfited through the ... silence of his enemies. 1: Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness "of them that were With Judas, and the courageousness that they had to fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword. !? Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotus, and Mattathias, to make peace. d Gr. bound. unath him. 26 But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, and con- sidering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected towards the state ; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king’s successor. 27 Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much dis- pleased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Mac- cabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch. - 28 When this came to Nicanor’s hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault. - 29 But because there was no dealing against the king, ne watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy. s' 30 Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor. 31 But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas’s policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commānded tie priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man. 32 And when they sware that they could not tell where the man was whom he sought, 33. He stretched out his right hand towards the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as "a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar. and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus. 34 After these words he departed. Then the priests ſifted up their hands towards heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner; 35 Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be among us: 36 Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever un defiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth. 37 Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews. * 38 For in the former times, when they minghed not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews. 39 So Nicamor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him : 40 For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt. 41 Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should be brought to burn if he being ready to be taken on every side, fell upon his sword; 42 Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth : 43 But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them. . f 44 But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place. 45 Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up ; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of wa- ter, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the thron g : and standing upon a steep rock, * -, .* 46 When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and call- ing upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died. r CHAPTER XV. UT Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the strong fift 3 places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day. e 2 Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with holiness above other days. 3 Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a Mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept, 4 And when they said, There is in heaven a living Lord, and mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept : 5 Then said the other, And ſ also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's buri i-sā Ya‘ he obtained not to have his wicked will done. º 6 So Nicanor in exceeding pride und haughtiness determined to set up a public monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him 7 But Maccabeus had ever sure confidence that the Lord would help him; 8 Wherefore he exmorted his people not to fear the coming of the hea- Qſ) 77 II.

Also they that were in the city took not the least care, being troubled for the conflict abroad. 20 And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and the ene- mies were already come near, and the army was set in array, and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set in wings, • 21 Maccabéus, seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers prepa- rations of armour, and 㺠fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands towards heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy : . & 22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst 23 Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them; - 24 And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with ter- ror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus. 25 Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trum- pets and º; 26 But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer. - 27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered. 28 Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness. 29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language. 30 And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love towards his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's head, and his hand with his shoul- der, and bring them to Jerusalem. 31 So when he was there, and had called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower, 32 And shewed them vile Nicanor’s head, and the hand of that blas- phemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy tem- ple of the Almighty. - 33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple. 34 So every man praised towards the heaven the glorious Lord, saying Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled. 35 He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and mani- fest sign unto all of the hº of the Lord. 36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no case to let that day *. without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus's day. 87 Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end. 38 And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired : but if º and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto. 39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone; and as wine min- #. with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste: even so i. mely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story And here shall be an end. - 78 END OF THE APOCRYPHA. An Account of the Lives, Sufferings, and Martyrdom, of the Arostles and Evangelists, I. St. STEPHEN, the Proto, or first martyr, was elected, with six others, as a deacon, out of the Lord’s seventy disciples. Stephen was an able and successful preacher. The principal persons belonging to five Jew- ish synagogues entered into many altercations with him; but he, by the soundness of his doctrine, and strength of his arguments, overcame them all, which so much irritated them, that they suburned false witnesses to accuse him of blaspheming God and Moses. Being carried before the council, he made a noble defence, but that so much ex- asperated his judges, that they resolved to condemn him. At this instant Stephen saw a vision from heaven of Jesus, in liis glorified state, sitting at the right hand of God. This vision so greatly rejoiced him, that he exclaimed in raptures, “Behold, I see the heavens opened. and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. They then condemned him, and having dragged him out of the city, stoned him to death. On the spot where he was martyred, Eudocia, the empress of the emperor Theodo- sius, erected a superb church. - THE death of Stephen was succeeded by a severe per- secution in Jerusalem, in which 2000 christians, with Ni- car the deacon, were martyred ; and many others obli- ged to leave the place. II. St. JAMES the GREAT, a Galilean, was the son of Zebedee, a fisherman, the elder brother of St. John, and a relation to Christ himself; for his mother Salome was cousin-german to the virgin Mary. Being one day with his father fishing in the sea of Galilee, he, and his brother John, were called by our Saviour to become his disciples. They cheerfully obeyed the mandate, and leaving their father, followed Jesus. It is to be observed, that Christ placed a greater confidence in them, than in any other of the apostles, Peter excepted. CHR1st called these brothers Boamerges, or the sons of thunder, on account of their fiery spirits, and impetuous tempers. HERod Agrippa, being made governor of Judea by the emperor Caligula, raised a persecution against the chris- tians, and particularly singled out James as an object of revenge. JAMEs, being condemned to death, shewed such an in trepidity of spirit, and constancy of mind, that his very accuser was struck with admiration, and became a con- vert to christianity. This transition so enraged the peo- ple in power, that they condemned him likewise to death; when James the apostle, and his penitent accuser were both beheaded on the same day, and with the same sword. These events took place in the year of Christ 44. Much about the same period, Timon and Parmenas, two of the seven deacons, suffered martyrdom; the for- mer at Corinth, and the latter at Philippi, in Macedonia. III. St. PHILIP. This apostle and martyr was born at Bethsaida, in Galilee, and was the first called by the name of Disciple. He was honored with several impor- tant commissions by Christ, and being deputed to preach in Upper Asia, laboured very diligently in his apostle- Ship. He then travelled into Phrygia, and arriving at Heliopolis, was greatly grieved to find the inhabitants so sunk in idolatry, as to worship a large serpent. St. Phi- lip, however, converted many of them to christianity, and even procured the death of the serpent. This so en- Faged the magistrates, that they committed him to prison, haſ him severely scourged, and afterwards crucified. His friend, St. Bartholomew, found an opportunity of ta- king down the body and burying it; for which, however he was very near suffering the same ſate. His martyr dom happened eight years after that of St. James the great A. T). 52. IV. St. MIATTHEW. This evangelist, apostle, and martyr, was born at Nazareth in Galilee, but resided chiefly at Capernaum, on account of his business, which was that of a toll-gatherer, to collect tribute of such as had occasion to pass the sea of Galilee. On being called as a disciple, he immediately complied, and left every thing to follow Christ. After the ascension of his master, he continued preaching the gospel in Judea about nine years. Designing to leave Judea, in order to go and preach among the Gentiles, he wrote his gospel in Hebrew, for the use of the Jewish converts; but it was afterwards translated into Greek by St. James the less. Going to Ethiopia he ordained preachers, settled churches, and made many converts. He then proceeded to Parthia, where he had the same success; but returning to Ethio- pia, he was slain by a halbert in the city of Nadabar, about the year of Christ 60. He was remarkably inof- ſensive in his conduct, and temperate in his mode of living. V. St. MARK. This evangelist and martyr was born of Jewish parents, of the tribe of Levi. It is imagined, that he was converted to christianity by St. Peter, whom he served as an amanuensis, and whom he attended in all his travels. Being entreated by the converts at Rome to commit to writing the admirable discourses they had heard from St. Peter and himself: this request he com- plied with, and composed his gospel accordingly, in the Greek language. He then went to Egypt, and constitu- ted a bishopric at Alexandria: afterwards he proceeded to Lybia, where he made many converts. Returning to Alexandria, some of the Egyptians, exasperated at his success, determined on his death. To accomplish this they tied his feet, dragged him through the streets, left him to remain, bruised as he was, in a dungeon all night, and the next day burned his body. This happened on the 25th of April. His bones were carefully gathered up by the christians, decently interred, and afterwards removed to Venice, where he is considered as the tutelar saint, and patron of the state. VI. St. JAMES the less. This apostle and martyr was called so to distinguish him from St. James the great. He was the son, by a first wife, of Joseph, the reputed father of Christ: he was, after the Lord’s ascension, elect. ed bishop of Jerusalem: he wrote his general epistle to all christians, and converts whatever, to suppress a dan. gerous error then propagating, viz. “That a faith in Christ was alone sufficient for salvation, without good works.” The Jews heing, at this time, greatly enraged that St. Paul had escaped their fury, by appealing to Rome, determined to wreak their vengeance on James, who was now 94 years of age : they accordingly threw him down, beat, bruised, and stoned him ; and then dash. ed out his brains with a club, such as was used by fullers in dressing cloths. f VII. St. MATTHIAS. This apostle and martyr was called to the apostleship after the death of Christ, to sup- ply the vacant place of Judas, who had betrayed his mas- ter, and was likewise one of the seventy disciples. He was martyred at Jerusalem, being first stoned, and then beheaded. . . . VIII. ST. ANDREW. This apostle and martyr was brother to St. Peter, and preached the gospel to many Asiatic nations. Arriving at Edessa, the governor of the country. named Egeas, threatened him very hard for preaching against the idols there worshipped. St. An- drew persisting in the propagation of his doctrines, he was ordered to be crucified on a cross, two ends of which were transversely fixed in the ground. He boldly told his accusers, that he would not have preached the glory of the cross, had he feared to die on it. And again, when they came to crucify him, he said, that he coveted the cross, and longed to embrace it. He was fastened to the cross, not with nails but cords, that his death might be more lingering. In this situation he continued two days, preaching the greatest part of the time to the peo- ple ; and expired on the 30th of November. IX. St. PETER. This great apostle and martyr was born at Bethsaida in Galilee, being the son of Jonah, a fisherman, which employment St. Peter himself followed. He was persuaded by his brother to turn christian, when Christ gave him the name of Cephas, implying in the Sy- riac language, a rock. He was called, at the same time as his brother, to be an apostle ; gave uncommon proofs of his zeal for the service of Christ, and always appeared as the principal speaker among the apostles. He had, how- ever, the weakness to deny his master, after his apprehen- sion, though he defended him at the time; but the since- rity of his repentance made an atonement for the atro- ciousness of his crime. THE Jews, after the death of Christ, still continued to persecute the christians, and even went so far as to order several of the apostles, among whom was Peter, to be scourged. This punishment they bore with great forti- tude, and rejoiced that they were thought worthy to suſ- fer for the sake of Christ. HERo D Agrippa having caused St. James the great to be put to death, and finding that it pleased the Jews, re- solved, in order to ingratiate himself farther with the peo- ple, that Peter should fall a sacrifice to their malice. He was accordingly apprehended, and thrown into prison ; but an angel of the Lord released him, which so enraged Herod, that he ordered the centinels, who guarded the dungeon in which he had been confined, to be put to death. St. Peter, after various other miracles, retired to Rome, where he defeated all the artifices, and confounded the magic of Simon, the magician, a great favourite of the emperor Nero: he likewise converted to christianity one of the concubines of that monarch, which so exaspe- rated the tyrant, that he ordained both St. Peter and St. Paul to be apprehended. During the time of their con- finement, they converted two of the captains of the guard, and 47 other persons to christianity. Having been nine months in prison, Peter was brought out from thence for execution, when, after being severely scourged, he was crucified with his head downwards; which position, how- ever, was at his own request. He, as well as Paul, suf- fered on the 29th day of June. His body being taken down, embalmed, and buried in the vatican, a church was afterwards erected on the spot; but this being de- stroyed by the emperor Heliogabalus, the body was re- moved, till the 20th bishop of Rome, called Cornelius, conveyed it again to the vatican : afterwards Constantine the great erected one of the most stately churches in the universe over the place. Before we quit this article it is requisite to observe, that previous to the death of St. Pe- ter, his wife suffered martyrdom for the faith of Christ, and was exhorted, when going to be put to death, to re- member the Lord Jesus. - X. St. PAUL, the apostle and martyr, was a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin, born at Tarsus, in Cilicia. He was At first a great enemy to, and persecutor of the christians; but after his miraculous conversion he became a strenu. ous preacher of Christ’s gospel. At Iconium, St. Paul and St. Barnabas were near being stoned to death by the enraged Jews; wherefore they fled to Lycaonia. At Ly- stra, St. Paul was stoned, dragged out of the city, and left for dead. He, however, happily revived, and escaped to Derbe. At Philippi, Paul and Silas were imprisoned and whipped; and both were again persecuted at Thessalo- nica. Being afterwards taken at Jerusalem, he was sent to Cesarea, but appealed to Cesar at Rome. Here he continued a prisoner at large for two years. Being re- leased, he visited the churches of Rome, and preached in France and Spain. Returning to Rome, he was again apprehended, and, by the order of Nero, martyred, by being beheaded. : XI. St. JUDE, the apostle and martyr, the brother of James, was commonly called Thaddeus. Being sent to Edessa, he wrought many miracles, and made many con- verts, which stirring up the resentment of people in pow- er, he was crucified, A. D. 72. XII. St. BARTHOLOMEW preached in several countries, performéd many miracles, and healed va, ious diseases. He translated St. Matthew’s gospel into the In- dian language, and propagated it in that country: but at length, the idolaters growing impatient with his doc- trines, severely beat, crucified, and flayed him, and them cut off his head. XIII. ST. THOMAS, as he was called in Syriac, but Didymus in Greek, was an apostle and martyr. He preach- edin Parthia and India, where displeasing the Pagan priests, he was martyred by being thrust through with a spear. XIV. ST. LUKE, the evangelist and martyr, was the author of a most excellent gospel. He travelled with St. Paul to Rome, and preached to divers barbarous nations, till the priests in Greece hanged him on an olive-tree. XV. ST. SIMON, the apostle and martyr, was distin- guished by the name of Zelotes, from his zeal. He preached with great success in Mauritania,and other parts of Africa, and even in Britain, where, though he made many converts, he was crucified by the then barbarous inhabitants of that island, A. D. 74. XVI. St. JOHN. This saint was, at once, a prophet, apostle, divine, evangelist, and martyr. He is called the beloved disciple, and was brother to James the great. He was previously a disciple of John the Baptist, and af. terwards not only one of the twelve apostles, but one of the three to whom Christ communicated the most Se- cret passages of his life. The churches in Asia founded by St. John were, Smyrna, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadel- phia, Laodicea, and Thyatira, to whom he directs his book of Revelations. Being at Ephesus, he was ordered by the emperor Domitian to be sent bound to Rome, where he was condemned to be cast into a caldron of boiling oil. But here a miracle appeared in his favour; the oil -did him no injury, and Domitian therefore not being able to put him to death, banished him to Patmos to work at the mines. He was, however, recalled by Nerva, who succeeded Domitian after his decease, but was deemed a martyr on account of his having undergone the mode ol an execution, though it did not take effect. He wrote his epistles, gospel, and revelations; all in a different style; but they are all equally admired. He was the only apostle who escaped a violent death: lived the longest of any of them, being near 100 years of age at the time of his death. XVII. St. BARNABAS was a native of Cyprus, but of Jewish parents the time of his death is uncertain, but supposed to be about the year of Christ 73. §§§§§ ∞|×-ſ»， & ``-- … º. wae --ſj <ſ><><ſ>&<>， ·ŹN ， ， ， ， ，§§§ � � � � � l � � �?

The genealogy of Christ from Abraham to Joseph, 1 : He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Pirgin JMary, when she was espoused to Joseph, 18. and interpreteth the numes of Th; * book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 ” Abraham begat Isaac ; and Isaac begat Jacob ; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 “And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram ; The angel satisfieth the misdeeming thoughts of Joseph, hrist, 19. 4 “And Aram begat Aminadab ; and Aminadab begatº, Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 1 5 * And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab ; and Booz begat i Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 Andjesse begatiavidine king; and David the king; begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; 7 & And Solomon begat Roboam ; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; 8 h And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; 9' And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; 10 * And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; 11 "And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to “Babylon: 12 "And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; 13 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Elia- kim; and Eliakim begat Azor; 14 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud ; 15 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob ; 16AndJacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying awaw into Babvlon unto Christ are fourteen generations. & 18 "| "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise : j When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before; §. came together, she was found with child of the Holy OSt. 19 "Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 " But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary § wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy OSt. 21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their 8}}\S, 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which 3,5 Was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23' Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which º being interpreted is, God with us. 24.

OW ** when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 ” Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to wor- ship him. - 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them 3. where Christ should be born. - 5 And...they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea : for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 “And thou Bethlehem in the land of Juda, art not the ..least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go, and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and 3. # worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceed- ing great joy. - 11 * *Ánd when . were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him : and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frank- incense, and myrrh. * 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 ° And was there until the “death of Herod : that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my Son. 16 °. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, 18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. 19 || *But, when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of tº the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 & Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mo- ther, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life. * 21 And he arose, and took the young child and his ££. A 19 | mother, and came into the land of Israel. Christ fasteth and is tempted. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, heft turned aside into the parts of Galilee: 23 And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: ; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, L He shall Be called a Nazarene. - ... ghapTPR III. .

And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Caper- naum, which is upon the sea-coast, in the borders of Zabu- lon and Nephthalim; 14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 15 ° The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by 3, the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16 P.The people which sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up. 17 | | From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 18 " " And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a met into the sea; for they were fishers. 19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make 0.you fishers of men. 20 “And they straightway left their nets, and followed him, 21 “And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, . James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them. 22 “And they immediately left the ship, and their father, and followed him. - 23 * : And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their #|synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and Tº healing all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease ;3|among the people. - 24 “And his fame went throughout all Syria : and they |brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers |diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those tha' |had the palsy; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 14 || & Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples M fast not! 15 " And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old gar- ment: for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the i. garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else; the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bot- tles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and; both are preserved. 18 "I While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. 20 "I (And behold, a woman which was diseased with an i. issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. 21 For she said within herself. If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hathi. made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from. that hour.) 23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, I 24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth.

They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to youri. faith, be it unto you. 80 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his ſame in all that country. 32 * 'As they went out, behold, they brought to him aſ dumb man possessed with a devil. - 33 "And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake:#; and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. . 34"But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils, through the prince of the devils. 35 "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,; teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every; & disease among the people. 36 ‘'ſ "But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved . with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were; scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field : 32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 33 Another parable spake he unto them; The king- dom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 34 " All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them : 35 ' That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the founda- tion of the world. - 36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house : and his disciples came unto him, saying, De- clare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wick- ed one; .* 39 “The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 * And shall cast them into a furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 * Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in Who hath ears to hear, let 44 * * Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure |hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, ... and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and *|buyeth that field. 45 °ſ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a mer- &|chant-man seeking good!y pearls: 46 “Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 47 'ſ Again, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, i... that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat ºf down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the #|bad away. & 49 " So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 ° And shall cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things!

Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven, is like 11 The miracle of the loaves and fishes. unto a man that is a householder, which bringeth forth outs L of his treasure things new and old. 53 || And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished; these parables, he departed thence. 54 ° And when he was come into his own country, he ST, MATTHEW. g, Isa. 53.3. chap. 11.6.

And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, where- fore didst thou doubt 'l 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. . 33 m.

CHAPTER XV. Christ reproveth the scribes and Pharisees for transgressing God's com: mandments through their own traditions, 3; teacheth how that which goeth into the mouth doth not defile a man, 11: He hea.eth the daughter of the woman of Canaan, 21, and other great multitudes, 30; and with seven loaves, and a few littlefishes, feedeth four thousand men, beside" women and children, 32. HEN a came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they washinot their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why doye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 "For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profite me ; - 6 “And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be |free.

And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15 ' Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16 “And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without under- standing 4 17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into; the draught ! 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 * These are the things which defile a man : but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. 21 || Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. - - 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she Crieth after us. ,-- 24 “But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 "But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord : yet the dogs eat of the ñ.

In the midst of them. 3 * And said, Verily, I say unto you, Except ye be con- lverted, and become as little children, ye shalſ not enter i. into the kingdom of heaven. 4 * Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as thiſ: little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name, receiveth me. e 6 *But, whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone Were s|hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the ºldepth of the sea. - 7 * * Wo unto the world because of offences ! for it "must needs be that offences come ; but wo to that man by whom the offence corneth ! 8 * Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to i.enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two |hands or two feet, to be cast into everlasting fire. 9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast tº *|from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with One ;|eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire. 10 * Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 11 : For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12 * How think ye If a man have a hundred sheep, alſº one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh thº' which is gone astray 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto yºu, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. • * : – ; 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in 3. heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. tº dº º º reains, 15 Moreover, if thy brother snai, trespass agains 14 Christ healeth the sick. thee, go and tell him his fault hetween thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 " But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses; every word may be established. 17 " And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the # church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be # Xor. 5. unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. 18 ° Verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall J loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven. 19 P Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth, as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. 21 * * Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him 1 till Seven times 7 - 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. 23 * Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto; a certain king which would take account of his servants. 24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought|*ś unto him which owed him ten thousand talents. 25 “But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his Lord com-jū"; manded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, ºng, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee 3.11. * - 27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with com- passion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, which owed him "a hundred pence: and hel; laid hands on him, and " took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29 And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and be-, , saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay SOught him thee all. 30 And he would not: but went and cast him into iſ: prison, till he should pay the debt. 31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done,: they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, M because thou desiredst me: 33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy V fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee 7 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to theſ". tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 33 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto; You, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his; brother their trespasses.

OR* the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place, 4 " And said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, I will give you. And they went their way. 5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. - 6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle 7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8. So when evening was come, the lord of the vineyard Saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9 * And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny. - 11 And when they had receive against the good man of the house, 12 “Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, d it, they murmured and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne l the burden and heat of the day. 2 13 But he answered one of them, and said, a Friend, I|| do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for aſ; penny ? 14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto {} 4 this last, even as unto thee. 15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own 4 Is thine eye evil because I am good? 16 .

And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9° And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be 4 - 10 " And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mys- teries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; #|that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might º : not understand. 11 * Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God 12 Those by the way-side, are they that hear; then #lcometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their #|hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. 13 * They on the rock are they, which, when they hea. ; receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which ... for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 & And that which fell among thorns, are they, which when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with Carº and riches, and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to 15 But that on the good ground are they, which in Élan honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep *ś.. it, and bring forth fruit with patience. - h | 16 || "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed ; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light 44 - Christ casts out a legion of devils. 17 i For nothing is secret, that shall not be made mami- fest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known, and come abroad. - 18 k Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. 19 || | Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. 20 And it was told him by certain, which said, Thy mo- ther and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 21 " And he answered and said unto them, My mother; and my brethren are these which hear the word of God,' and do it. 22 || " Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. - 23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep; and there came down a storm of wind on the lake ; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. - 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. Then he rose, and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water ; and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 " And he said unto them, Where is your faith !

For oftentimes it had caught him ; and he was kept bound in chains, and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name And he said, a Legion: because many devils were entered into him. - t 31 And they besought him, that he would not command them to go out into the deep. 32 And there was there a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain : and they besought him that he would Suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them. 33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine : and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. 34 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country. 35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils Were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind': and they were afraid. -- 86 They also which saw it, told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed. 37 * * Then the whole multitude of the country of the g Gadarenes round about, besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear. the ship, and returned back again. 38" Now, the man out of whom the devils were departed, Resought him that he might be with him.

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit5 adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false wit- ness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 22 " Now, when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful : for p he was very rich. 24 " And when Jesus saw that he was very Sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they that heard it, said, Who then can be saved'!'}; 27 ° And he said, The things which are impossible with men, are possible with God. - 28 P Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee. - 29 + And he said unto them, Verily, I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, 30 * Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 31 * * Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. - 32 “For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and Spitted on ; 33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. 35 | "And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging; 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. x * 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. , - 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace : but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood and commanded him to be brought unto him : and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee! And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42 “And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God; and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me ! And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 & Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast" |young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry the6 whither thou wouldest not. 19 "This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. - . 20 * Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following; (which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee!) 21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shalt this man do 2 - 22 * Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I ##|come, what is that to thee! Follow thou me. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, yet Jesus said not unto what is that to thee 'l - - 24' This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true 25" And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I sup- pose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.

Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. 17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 "And the day following Paul went in with us unto James: and all the elders were present. 19 “And when he had saluted them, he declared parti- cularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 20 " And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thou- sands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law : 21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying, That they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. - 22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23 P Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, “ , ” be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads. and all may know that those things whereof they were informed. concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law. 25% As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from formi- Cation. 26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purify- Ing himself with them, entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them. 27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews, which were of Asia, when they saw him in theº. temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 28 °Crying out, Men of Israel, help.

And when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 33 * Then the chief captain came near and took him, and #|commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demand- ed who he was, and what he had done. 34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude : and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. 35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers, for the violence of the people. 36 For the multitude of the people followed after, cry- ing, Away with him. 37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee! Who said. |Canst thou speak Greek : 38 Art not thou that Egyptian which before these days ... madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four •lthousand men that were murderers'! 39 “But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tar- sus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I be- seech thee suffer me to speak unto the people. 40 * And when he had given him license, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying, CHAPTER XXII.

And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do. 11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

And Paul said, But I was free- born. 29. Then straightway they departed from him which should have * examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. 30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

Then the chief captain took him by the hand and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me ! 20 'And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring down Pauf to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. t º 21 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound # themselves “with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him : and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. 22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. 23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and "spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; 24 And provide them beasts, that they may set and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. 25 Arid he wrote a letter after this manner: - 26 Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, sendeth greeting.

To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him. 23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and, Bernice, with “great poinp, and was entered into the place!". of hearing, with the chief captains and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth. 24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at: Jerusalem, and also here, cr any longer. 25 " But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Au- ustus, I have determined to send him. 26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto" my ord.

A” * when it was determined, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band. 2 ” And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launch- ed, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 * And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. 4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary, 5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandrial sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. 7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone : 8 And hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called, The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. 9 Now, when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, 10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11 Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12 And because the haven was not commodious to win- terin, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south-west and north-west. 13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after there arose against it “a tempes- tuous wind, called Euroclydon. 15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: 17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; 19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. 20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days ap- Peared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

"-- 32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 "And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 34 * Wherefore I pray you to take some meat; for this is for your health : for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you. - - 35 “And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat. - 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took Some meat. 37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred three- score and sixteen souls. . 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. - 39 "And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. - 40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they com. mitted themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder-bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. 4ſ "And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42 And the soldier8’ council was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that they which could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land : 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. 4 K 97 Paul commendeth his calling to the CHAPTER XXVIII.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you : because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain. 21 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee. 22 " But we desire to hear of thee, what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. 23 " And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging : to whom he expound- ed and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them con- cerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 24 " And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake º, #|the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, 26 F Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be con- verted, and I should heal them. 28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. 29 And when he had said these words, the Jews de- parted, and had great reasoning among themselves. 30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired "house, and received all that came in unto him, 31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all con- fidence, no man forbidding him. the Epistle of PAUL, the Apostle, to the novians.

Being justified by faith, we have peace with God, 1, and joy in our hope, 2: that since we were reconciled by his blood, when we were enemies, 8, we shall much more be saved being reconciled, 10.

For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more. the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one; man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift. For the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 ° For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one ; much more they which receive abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteous- ness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justifica- tion of life. 19 P For as by one man’s disobedience many were made Sºmers, so by the obedience of one slall many be made righteous. - 20 " Moreover the law entered, that the offence might. grace did much more; abound.

Because they sought it not by faith, §but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone; 33 & As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling- stone, and rock of offence : and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. CHAPTER X. The scripture sheweth the difference betwict the righteousness of the law, and this of faith, 4; and that all, both Jew and Gentile, that believe, shall not be confounded, ; and that the Gentiles shall receive the word, and beſieve, 18. Israel was not ignorant of these things, 19. ; RETHREN,” my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 * For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 2 Tim.2 13.n Gen.29 30 [2 Chr. 19.

CHAPTER IX. He ºfteldeth the reason why, though he knew their forwardness, yet he sent Titus and his brethren beforehand, 1 ; and he proceedeth in stirring them up to a bountiful alms, as being but a kind of sowing of seed, 6, which shall return a great increase to them, 10, and occasion a great sacrifice of thanksgivings unto God, 12. OR* as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you : 2 * For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. 3 * Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready : - 4 *ies haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. 5 * Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the bre- thren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your “bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a maller of bounty, and not as of covetousness, 119 Paul vindicates his intnistry 6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. tº * * 7 * Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity : for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 * And God is able to make all grace abound towards you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: - . 9 * (As it is written, He hath given to the poor; his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 * Now, he that ministereth seed to the Sower, both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 11 * Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12 "For the administration of this service not only Sup- plieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 13 n While by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of: Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men ; 14 " And by their prayer for you, which long after you, for the exceeding grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. CHAPTER X. JAgainst the false apostles, who disgraced the weakness of his person and | bodily presence, he setteth out the spiritual might and authority withſ. which he is armed against all adversary powers, I, assuring them that at his coming he will be found as nighty in word, as he is now in writing being absent, 7: and withal taring them for reaching out themselves beyond their compass, and vaunting themselves in other men's labours, 12.É. OW* I Paul myself beseech you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold towards you : 2 ” But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, where with I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh: 3 * For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh : 4 * (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 °Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and lºg into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 "And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 7 * Do ye look on things after the outward appearance If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are]] we Christ’s, 8 * For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 9 * That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters. 10 * For his letters (say they) are weighty and power- fil; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech con- temptible. | | | Let such a one think this, that such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also Indeed when we are present. 12 "For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or Compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they, measuring themselves by themselves, and com- p Ing themselves among themselves, are not wise. * 13 "But we will not boast of things without our measure, - 27. dispersed abroad; he hath;" [I.

The character of false apostles distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. 14 °For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measures as though we reached not unto you; for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: 15 "Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you, accord ing to our rule abundantly, 16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand. 17 | But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, 4. but whom the Lord commendeth. CHAPTER XI. Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who seemed to make more account of the false apostles than of him, he entereth into a forced commendation of himself, ſ, of his equality with the chief apostles, 5, of his preaching the gospel to them freely, and without any their charge, 7 : shewing that he was not inferior to those deceitful workers in any legal prerogative, 13; and in the service of Christ, and in all kind of sufferings for his minis- try, far superior, 23. OULD." to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly ; and indeed bear with me. 2 * For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy : for #|I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present ; :/ow as a chaste Virgin to Christ. 3 * But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled |Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupt- : ‘ed from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 "For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which :ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have ‘not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 5 * For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chief. i,jest apostles. 6 * But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you ...in all things. 7 * Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that |ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely 4 8 * I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. 9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was |chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in #all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto & you, and so will I keep myself. 10 * As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 * Whereforeſ because I love you not? God knoweth, 12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut of occasion from them which desire occasion ; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. . 13 m For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, trans- to Cºr. 3 5, ! {}. & 4, 15. & 9. 1. | p R0. 15.20. q Isa. 65. 16.

CHAPTER XII. For commending of his apostleship, though he might glory of his wonderful; revelations, 1, yet he rather chooseth to glory of his infirmities, 9, blaming i them for forcing him to this vain boasting, 11. He promiseth to come to them again; but yet altogether in the #ºn of a father, 14, although he feareth he shali to his grief find many offenders, and public disorders there, 20.

CHAPTER XIII. He threateneth severity, and the power of his apostleship against obstinate sinners, 1 ; and advising them to a trial of their faith, 5, and to reform- alion of their sins before his coming, 7, he concludeth his epistle with a general eachortation and a prayer, 11. - HIS “ is the third time I am coming to you : In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2 * I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were pre- # sent, the second time; and being absent now I write to |them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, j, if I come again, I will not spare: 3 * Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 4 * For though he was crucified through weakness, yet For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God to- ward you. 5 * Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, ‘how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates ? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not repro- *|bates. 7 * Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 8 * For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. ch, 10 10. chap. 10, 3.

Doctrine of justification by faith. 14" But when I saw that they “walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter be-, fore them all, If thou,being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews | 15 " We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 ° Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of:#; the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have beiieved in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by theft faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 P But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin 'ſ God forbid. 18 For if I build again the things which I " destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 " For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 " I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me : and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, whoji loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 * I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteous- ness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. CHAPTER III. He asketh what moved them to leave the faith, and hang upon the law, 1. They that believe are justified, 6, and blessed with Abraham, 9. And this he sheweth by many reasons, 10. {} * FOOLISH Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you ? 3 * Are ye so foolish having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh 4". Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in Vain. 5 * He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of § the law, or by the hearing of faith ! 6 * Even as Abraham helieved God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 * Know ye therefore, that they which are of faith, theſ; Same are the children of Abraham. 8." And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify ; the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto; Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faith- ful Abraham. 10' For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse : for it is written, Cursed is every one that con- tinueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 1 : " But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12 'And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13" Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every ore that hangeth on a tree: 14." That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. ... 15 ° Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though tº be but a man's covenant; yet if it be confirmed, no man disanulleth or addeth thereto. ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes; Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among; 2 * This only would I learn of you, Received ye thei Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ??, 16 ° Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises GALATIANS.

God forbid : for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22 “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should after wards be revealed. 24 “Wherefore the law was our school-master “to bring jus unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a school-master. ! 26 ‘For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ ; Jesus. 27 ° For as many of you as have been baptized into j.

Let the elders that rule well, be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18 " For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the: OX that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is wor- thy of his reward. 19 ° Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 1. TIMOTHY A.

Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and 70 men of the elders of Israel, go up into the mount, and there behold the glory of God : the rest re- turning, Moses with his servant Joshua abides there still, and waits six days, and upon the seventh day God speaks unto him, and there he continues forty days and forty mights (reckoning those six days which he waited for the appearance Qf the Lord,) eating no meat all that while, nor drinking wa- ter: (Deut. ix. 9.) where he receives God’s command touch- ing the frame of the tabernacle, the priests' garments, their consecration, sacrifices, and other things comprised in this and the six following chapters. —Ch. xxxi, 18, xxxii. At the end of forty days God gives Moses the two tables of the Law in stone, made by God’s own hand, and written with his own finger; bidding him withal quickly to get him down, for that the people had al- ready made to themselves a molten calf to worship. Moses by prayer pacifieth God, and goes down from the mount, and seeing the people keeping a festival in honour of their idol in the camp, he breaks the tables of the law at the foot of the mount : for which the Jews keep a solemn fast unto this day. *:::: xxxii, 20, 28. Moses having burnt and defaced the idol, puts 3000 of the idolaters to death by the hands of the Levites. * - - —Ch. xxxiv. God commands Moses to frame new tables of stone, and to bring them with him into the mount: Moses brings them the next morning, and while he stands in the cleft of a rock, God passeth by and sheweth him a glimpse of his glory. —Ch. xxxiv, 10. God renews his covenant with his peo- ple, and upon certain conditions gives them his laws again. 1490.-Ch. xxxix.

By his advice Moses imparts the government of the people to some others, and ordains magistrates for the deciding of lesser Call SCS. - —Numb. xi. Moses complains to God of the overgreat burden of his government; God, to ease him of his charge, gives him for assistance the court of 70 elders. . . . —Ch. xi, 31. The people lust for flesh.

Returning, they bring with them a branch of a vine, with a cluster of grapes upon it; ten of the twelve so sent speak ill of the country, declare it barren, and magnify the cities for their strength, and the giantly stature of the inhabitants. Ch. xiv. The people, terrified with this relation, are about to return into Egypt, from which Caleb and Joshua endeavouring to dissuade them are like to be stoned. At this God is so provoked, that he threatens to destroy them ; but is prevailed upon by Moses his prayers to spare them. Nevertheless he denounceth that ºf who are now 20 years old and upwards (except Caleb and Joshua) shall die in the wilderness. The men who raised the evil report are all de- stroyed by sudden death. Some endeavouring to enter upon the promised land, contrary to the command of God, are smitten by the Amalekites and Canaanites. 1489.-Deut. i., 46. In this place, viz. Kadesh-barnea, the Israelites continue many days; but that in some places they continued many years, appeareth, for that in the space of 37 years there are but seventeen encampings mentioned. 1471.-Numb. xxxiii, xvi, xvii. To their long continuance in Kadesh, and the encampings from thence, all that we find delivered in the xvth and four next ensuing chapters of Numbers, seems to refer ; as how IQorah, Datham, and Abi- ram, for raising a mutiny against Moses and Aaron, were swallowed alive into the earth, and 250 of their associates; and how the people, murmuring against Moses and Aaron for the calamity which had befallen their brethren, were destroyed by God to the number of 14,700 men; and how twelve rods being brought º twelve princes and laid in the sanctuary, Aaron's rod only budded, and brought forth almonds, and was laid up before the ark, for a memorial to those who should afterwards be given to rebellion. 1452.--Numb. xx. In these 37 years the Israelites by 17 encampings, having compassed the hill-country of Seir and Edom, they come to the wilderness of Zin in the first month of the 40th year after their departure out of Egypt. —Ch. xx, 1 Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, dieth. * - —Ch. xx, 2, 12. The people again for want of water murmur against Moses and Aaron, whom when God had commanded to call water out of the rock only by speaking to it, Moses, being moved in his mind through impatience and diffidence of the thing, speaks something, whatever it was, unadvisedly with his lips, and strikes the rock thrice with Aaron's rod, and thereby draws water from it; but for transgressing God's command, they are both debarred from entering into the land of Canaan. - —Ch. xx, 23, 28. In the fifth month of this year Aaron dieth at Mosera, on the top of Mount Hor, at the age of 123 years, leaving his son Eleazar his successor in the high priesthood. .. - - - —Ch., xxi, 5, 9; John iii, 14; 1 Cor. x, 9. The people murmuring are plagued with fiery serpents, whº"mary die ; upon their repentance God commands that a brazen Serpent be made and lifted up upon a pole, that as many as look on it may live. —Numbers xxi. About the latter end of this year, all those who at Kadesh-barnea mutinied against God, being wholly extinct and dead, the Israelites pass over Zared, and come to the borders of Moab at Ar, and at length arrive at Bamoth, a valley in the country of the Moabites, and pitch at mount Pisgah. -- - 1452–Numbers xxi, 21.

After these victories the Is raelites set forward, and encamp in the plains of Moab. —Josh. xxiv, 9 Balak, king of Moab, considering what the Israelites had done to the Amorites, fears, lest, under pretence of passing through his country, they should possess themselves of his whole kingdom; takes counsel with the lº of the Midianites his neighbours, and sends for Ba- aam a soothsayer out of Mesopotamia to come and curse the Israelites, promising him great rewards for his labour; purposing afterwards to make war upon them. —Numb. xxii, 7,35. Balaam, forewarned of God, refuseth at first to come; but being sent for a second time, he im- portuneth God to let him go, and goes with a purpose indeed to curse Israel; but God, offended thereat, makes the dumb ass of this wizard, on which he rode, speaking in a man's voice, to reprove his folly. —2 Pet. ii, 15, 16; Numb. xxiii; Deut. xxiii, 5. Balaam twice offers sacrifice, and would fain have cursed Israel, to gratify Balak therein; but being forced thereto by the Spirit of God. instead of cursing, he blesseth them altoge- ther; foretelling what felicity attended them, and what ca- lamities should befall their enemies. —Josh. xxiv, 10; Numb. xxy, 1, 2, 3, &c.; Deut. iv, 3; Psa, cvi, 28. By his advice the women of Moab and Midian are set on work to turn the Israelites away to idolatry. Wherefore God commands Moses first to take all the r.ng- leaders of this disorder, and to hang them up before the sun, and then gives order to the judges to put to death all such as had joined themselves to Baal-peor. Last of all, God sends a plague upon the people, whereof die 23,000 men in one day: which added to them which were hanged and killed with the sword, amount in all to 24,000. - “. —Rev. ii, 14; 1 Cor. x, 8, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar. by killing Zimri, the chief of his father's family, and Cozº the daughter of Zur, a prince of the Midianites, appeaseth the wrath of God, and the plague ceaseth. God therefore settleth the high priesthood for ever upon the house of Phi- nehas, and commands that war be made upon the Midianites —Numbers xxv ; Psalm cvi, 30; Numbers xxv, 13, 17. Moses and Eleazar, by God's command, in the plain of Moab, near unto Jordan, over against Jericho, number the people from 20 years old and upwards, and find them to be 601,730 men, besides the Levites, whose number, reckoning them from one month old and upwards, comes to 23,000; and then Moses receives command for the parting the land of promise among the Israelites. - —Ch. xxvi, xxvii, 1,2.

God signifie; to Moses that he shall die, and Joshua is thereupon declared to be his successor; upon whom Moses lays his hands, and gives him instructions. Several laws are made. —Numb, ºxxi.; Josh. xiii, Ži, 22. Twelve thousand ºf the Israelites under the command of Phinehas vanquish the Midianites, and put to the sword all the males amºng them, with their five princes, and among them Zur, the father of Cozbi, and Balaam the wizard; but they save the Woº alive; at which Moses is wroth, and commands that every male child, and all the women, except such as be virgins, be killed. sº g - —Numb. xxxii; Deut. iii; Josh. xiii, & xxii.

Moses, having written this law, de- livers it to the priests the sons of Levi, and the elders of the people, to be kept; the same day also he writes his most excellent song, and teaches the same to the children of Is- rael to be sung; and having finished the book of the law, he * § 7 takes order to have it laid up in the side of the ark. —Ch. xxxiii. Moses now drawing near to his end, blesseth every tribe in particular by way of prophecy, save only the tribe of Simeon. —Ch. xxxiv. In the twelfth month of this year he goes up to mount Nebo, and from thence beholds the land of pro- mise, and there dieth, aged 120 years; the body of Moses God translates out of the place where he died, into a valley of the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor, and there buri- eth it; nor doth any man know the place where he laid it unto this day. The Israelites mourn for him 30 days. Here ends the Pentateuch, or five books of Moses, con- taining the history of 2552 years and a half, from the begin- ning of the world; and the book of Joshua begins with the forty-first year after the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt. -- —Joshua ii.

Upon the tenth day of the first month, (April 30, to wit, the same day that the Paschal Lamb was to be chosen out of the flock, the Israelites under the conduct of Joshua, a type of Jesus Christ, go up out of the river Jordan into the promised land of Canaan, a type of a more heavenly country. They pass through the river on dry ground, the waters being for the present divided, for a memorial of which miraculous passage, Joshua sets up twelve stones in the very channel of Jordan, and taking twelve other stones out of the midst thereof sets them up at Gilgal, the place where they next encamp. —Ch. v.

The kings of Canaan combine against Israel; only the Gibeonites craftily find a way to save their own lives by making a league with them; but are afterwards deputed to the servile offices of the house of God. —Ch. x. Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, with the kings of Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, hearing that Gi- beon is fallen off from them, join their forces together and besiege it; but Joshua raiseth the siege, pursueth those five kings, and smiteth them as far as j. the Lord in the tileanwhile killing more with hailstomes from heaven, than the Israelites with their swords. Joshua commands the sun to stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Ajalon, by the space almost of one whole day, until the Is- tº elites are ſully avenged of their enemies. The five kings hide themselves in a cave at Makkedah; from whence they are brought forth, scornfully used, and hanged. 1450.-Exodus xxiii, 10, 11. From the autumn of this year, wherein, after the failing of manna, they began to till the ground, the rise of the sabbatical years is to be taken. 1445.-Joshua xxiii. Joshua now grown old, is com- thanded by God to divide all the land on the west of Jordan among the nine tribes remaining, and the other half-tribe of Manasseh.

After the decease of Joshua, and the elders who outlived him, and who remem- bered the wonders which God had wrought for Israel, there succeeds a generation of men which forget God, and mingle themselves with the Cañaanites by marriage, and worship their idols. In this time of anarchy and confusion, when every man did that which seemed right in his own eyes, all those disorders were committed, which are reported in the five last chapters of the Book of Judges; to wit, the idola- try of Micah, and the children of Dan; the war of the Ben- jamites, and the cause thereof. God, being highly provok- ed, gives them up into the hands of Cushan king of Meso- potamia; which first calamity of theirs holds them but eight €3.Y.S. g- y 1405.—Ch. iii, 9, 10.

Othniel dying, the Israelites fell again to sin against God, and are given over into the hands of Eglon king of Moab, who, joining with the Ammonices and the Amalekites, overthrows the Israelites, and takes Jericho; and this second oppression continueth eighteen €3.T.S. - y 1325.—Ch. iii, 15, 30. Ehud the son of Gera is raised up by God to be an avenger of his people; for feigning a mes- sage to Eglon, he runs him into the belly with his dagger; then getting away, he gathers all Israel into a body on mount Ephraim, and slays 10,000 of the most valiant men of Moab; and the land resteth forty years after the former rest ob- tained by Othniel. Ch. iii, 31. After him Shamgar, the son of Anath, slayeth 600 Philistines with an ox goad, and he also aveng- eth Israel. 1305.—Ch. iv., 1, 2, 3. The Israelites, after the death of Ehud, returning to their old sin, are given up by God into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan; and this thraldom of theirs continueth twenty years. - 1285–Ch. iv, 4, v, 31. Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth, a prophetess, who at this time judgeth Israel in mount Ephraim, and Barak of the tribe of Naphtali, being made captain of the host of Israel, in sight of Megiddo, overcomes Sisera, captain of Jabin’s army, whom Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite afterward kills in her own tent. For a memo- rial of which victory Deborah composeth a song; and the É. resteth forty years after the former rest obtained by hud, 1252–1245.—Ch. vi. vi.1, will. The Israelites sinning |again are delivered into the hands of the Midianites; which fourth thraldom lasted seven years. Hereupon they cry unto God for help, and are reproved by a prophet, Then Gideon the son of Joash, of Manasseh, is by an angei from God sent to deliver them. He first overturns the altar of Baal and burns his grove, and is called Jerubbaal. He out of 32,000 men, which came unto him, chooseth only (God so commanding) 300; but with them he puts to flight all the host of the Midianites, whom the Ephraimites after- wards pursue, and slay their princes Oreb and Zeeb. Gi- deon having pacified the Ephraimites, who complain that they were not called to the battle at first, passeth the river Jordan, and defeats the remainder of the Midianitish army; he chastiseth also the men of Succoth and Penuel, who had refused him victuals in his journey; and slays the two kings of the Midianites, Zebah and Zalmumna. After which great victories, the Israelites offering to settle the kingdom upon him and his posterity, he refuseth it; but receiving their golden ear-rings, he makes thereof an ephod, which after- ward proves an occasion of idolatry. The Midianites being thus vanquished, the land enjoys rest forty years, after the former rest restored to them by Deborah and Barak. 1236.-Judges viii, 33. Gideon dieth, and the Israelites, falling back again to idolatry, worship Baal-berith for their od. 1235.-Ch ix, 1, 2, &c.

Upon their repentance, and abandoning their idols, at length they obtain mercy, . . —Ch. xi, xii, 6. Jephthah the Gileadite, being made captain of the host of Israel, subdues the Ammonites; before the battle he vows his daughter unawares to be offered in sacrifice, and afterwards performs it.

The Israelites again provoke the Lord to anger, and he delivers them into the hands of the Philistines. This sixth thraldom begins seven months after Eli's entering upon the government, and lasteth 40 years, even till seven months after his death, when the ark was brought back again. 1155.-Ch. xiii, 24. Samson the Nazarite, as an angel had foretold, is born at Zorah. , , 1137–Ch. xiv, 4. . Whilst Eli the high priest executeth the office of a judge in civil causes under the Philistines Samson takes an occasion to quarrel with them, by marry- ing a woman of Timnath; for having on the day of his be- trothing propounded a riddle to the Philistines, and laid a wager, his wife tells them the meaning of it; enraged hereat, he goes and slays 30 men of Askelon, and gives them the suits of raiment which he had stripped off their bodies, in erformance of the wager which he had lost, and returns ome to his father. : - 1136.--Ch. xv. Samson again in harvest-time goes to present his wife with a kid at her father's house, but finds her given away in marriage to another man ; Samson resolves to be revenged; he catches 300 foxes, and tying fire-brands to their tails, turns them all into the corn-fields of the Phi- listines, and into their vineyards, and olive-gardens, and sets them all on fire. The Philistines take Samson’s wife and father-in-law, and burn them; Samson in revenge slays a great multitude of them, and sits down upon the rock Etham, from whence being taken by 3000 of the Jews, and by them delivered into the hands of the Philistines, he slays of them a thousand men with the jaw-bone of an ass; in which place he is miraculously refreshed, when thirsty and ready to faint. . 1117–Ch. xvi. Samson is betrayed by Delilah his con- cubine, bereaved of the hair of his Nazariteship, and deliver- ed to the Philistines; who put out his eyes, and bind him with chains of brass. The Philistines gather together to offer sacrifice to Dagon their god, and Samson is brought to make them sport; whose hair being grown, and his strength in a great measure restored, he takes hold of the two chief pillars whereon the house stood (wherein were the princes of the Philistines, and a great multitude of people) and pulls down the house, killing more men at his death, than he did in all his life-time. So he died, having judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. 1116,-1 Samuel iv. The Israelites take up arms against the Philistines, but with very ill success, for they lose 4000 men in one battle. Then they send for the ark of the co- venant from Shiloh, and cause it to be brought into the camp. The Philistines, seeing now all lie at stake, encou- rage one another to behave themselves like men that day and so falling on, they slay of the Israelites 30,000 men The ark of God is taken, and Hophni and Phinehas, priests and sons of Eli are slain. Of all which when tidings are brought to old Eli, frighted thereat, he falls from his chair and breaks his neck, in the 98th year of his age. —Ch. v., vi, vii. The Philistines, having brought the ark into Ashdod, set it in the house of Dagon their god. But when Dagon had been found two several times fallen gro- velling before it, and broken in pieces, and the inhabitants of the place sorely plagued, they remove it from thence to Gath, and from thence to Ekron. But the same plagues and judgments following wherever ‘t went, after seven months, by the advice of their priests, they send home the ark again with presents and gifts into the land of the Israel- ites, and it is brought to Beth-shemesh, where 50,070 men are smitten for looking into the ark. From hence it is car- ried to the house of Aminadab in Kirjath-jearim, who sancti- fieth his son Eleazar to keep it. - 1096.-Ch. vii, 13. After twenty years the Israelites, by Samuel's persuasion, solemnly repent at Mizpeh, and, upon their conversion, God by thunder from heaven delivers them from the invasion of the Philistines, who are subdued, the hand of the Lord being against them all the days of Samuel. lºs-cº Hosea xiii, 10; 1 Sam. xi, 12. Samuel ; Saul in the kingdom. The fifth Age being grown old, takes for his assistance in the government his sons; by whose ill management of affairs, the Israelites require a king to be given them; whereupon God gives them a king in his wrath, to wit, Saul the son of Kish, after Samuel had judged Israel 21 years, Saul is privately anointed by Samuel, and afterward publicly proclaimed king at Miz- peh, , About a month after, Jabesh-gilead is besieged by Na- nash king of the Ammonites, and the siege raised by Saul: whereupon the whole congregation of Israel, coming toge- ther at Gilgal, again proclaim Saul king. 1085.—Ch. xvii, 12.

At the end of this year, Joab, going with the army against the Am- monites, besiegeth Rabbah, the metropolis of Ammon, whilst David takes his ease at Jerusalem, and there commits adul- tery with Bath-sheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite, who was then in the army, whom he also procures to be slain. 1034.—2 Samuel xii, 25. The child so gotten in adultery is born. David is convicted by Nathan the prophet of his sin, and he repents; in testimony whereof he composeth the 51st Psalm. The child dieth. 1033.−1 Chronicles xxii, 9. Bath-sheba becomes now David's wife, and beareth him a son, unto whom, as unto one who should prove a man of peace, God gives the name of Solomon; and, as to one beloved of the Lord, the name of Jedidiah. 1(132,-2 Samuel xiii, 1. Amnon, David’s eldest son, de- floureth his sister Tamar. - º 1030.-Ch. xiii, 23. Absalom avengeth his sister Tamar, and killeth his brother Amnon; for which thing he fleeth to Geshur in Syria, where he continues three years with king Talmai, his grandfather by the mother's side. 1027-1025.-2 Samuel xiv. After three years exile he returns to Jerusalem, where he continues two years, before the king his father admits him into his presence, and is re- conciled to him. ſ 1024.—Ch. xv. This rebel son having got chariots and horses, and a guard to attend him, insinuates himself into the favour of the people, and steals away their hearts from his father David. - - 1023.-Ch. xv, 7... The next year following, under pre- tence of a vow, he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, where, by Ahithophel's counsel, he breaks out into open rebellion, and forceth his father to fly from Jerusalem. —Ch. xvii. Ahithophel, because his counsel in all matters is not followed by Absalom, hangs himself. —Ch. xviii. Absalom having lost 20,000 men fleeth, and the bough of an oak catching hold of him; he there hangs, and is run through by Joab. 1017,-Ch. xxiv.; 1 Chronicles xxi. David, tempted b Satan, commandeth Joab to number the people: God, of. ſended thereat, sends a prophet to put three plagues to his choice, viz. the famine, sword, or pestilence. David choos- eth to fall into the hands of a merciful God, rather than into the hands of men. So God sends a pestilence; whereof 70,000 men die in one day. The angel being about to de- stroy Jerusalem, God bids him hold his hand; for he be- holds David repenting in sackcloth, and entreating him to spare the innocent people, and to turn his hand upon him- self, and upon his father's house. 1016.--1 Kings xiv, 21. Rehoboam is born unto Solomon by Naamah, an Ammonitish woman. - 1015.-Ch. i. David being now 70 years of age, and bro- ken with continual cares and wars, grows so weak and feeble, that clothes can no longer preserve heat in him. Therefore Abishag, a young virgin, is appointed to keep him warm. Adonijah, seeing his father thus declining, by the assistance of Joab and Abiathar, makes himself king: which David understanding, he presently commands Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, with other great men, to anoint Solomon king. Adonijah hearing this, betakes himself to the sanctuary, and is pardoned. —Ch. ii. David having given instructions to his son So- lomon, dieth ; after he had reigned in Hebron seven years and º months, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem over all Israel. 1014.—Ch. iii, 1. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, daughter in marriage to Solomon. - —2 Chronicles viii, 11; 1 Kings iii, 5. The Lord ap- pears to Solomon in a dream, and bids him ask what he will, and it shall be given him.

Of this divine wisdom Solomon makes an emi- ment manifestation in judging between two harlots. gives his THE FIFTH A G E OF THE WORLD. B. C. 1012–1 Kings vi, 1 ; 2 Chronicles iii, 1. Solomon layeth the foundation of the temple in the 480th year after the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt. 005–1 Kings vi, 38. Solomon's temple finished in the eleventh year of his reign; having been seven years and a half in building. 1004.—Ch. viii; 2 Chronicles v, vi, vii. Solomon this year (being the ninth Jubilee, and opening the fourth Millenary of the world) with great magnificence celebrates the dedication of the temple: at which time God giveth a visible sign of his favour. - - 975.-1 Kings xi.; 2 Chronicles Ix. Solomon having, as it is with reason believed, forsaken his lusts and vanities, to which he had been too intemperately addicted, and written, as a testimony of his repentance, his book called The Preacher, dieth. He reigned 40 years. —I Kings xii. The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown Rehoboam, Solomon’s son, king over all Israel. The people by Jeroboam sue unto him for a removal of some grievances; to whom Rehoboam, by the advice of young men, returning a harsh answer, alienates the hearts of ten tribes from him, who make Jeroboam king over them, and fall at the same time from the house of David, and from the * true worship of God. —Ch. xii, 25, xiv., 17. xii, 26. Jeroboam, in the begin- of the World. ning of his reign, repairs Shechem, destroyed by Abimelech 258 years before, and there dwells; afterward going over Jordan he builds Penuel, and at length makes Tirzah the seat of his kingdom. But fearing lest his new subjects by going to Jerusalem to worship, may be induced to revoſt from him, he deviseth a new form of religion, setting up two golden calves, the one at Beth-el, the other at Dan, for the seduced people to bow down unto. ‘. 975.-1 Kings xiv.; 2 Chronicles xii. From the time of this dismal rent Rehoboam reigneth over Judah and Benja min 17 years, and Jeroboam over Israel, or the other ten tribes, 22 years. - -. 974.—Ch. xi, 17. The Priests and Levites, and other Is raelites who feared God, stick to Rehoboam, and maintain the kingdom of Judah, three years; after which time Reho boam falls to idolatry, and walketh no more in the ways of David and Solomon. -1 Kings xii, 32, xiii, 2. Jeroboam sacrificing to his calf at Beth-ei, a prophet is sent unto him from God, who foretels the judgment which should one day be executed upon that altar, and the priests (viz. those whom Jeroboam had made of the lowest of the people) that served at it. Which prophecy then and there is confirmed by signs and wonders upon the king himself, and upon the altar. •º a 971–Ch. xiv, 25; 2 Chronicles xii.

Nadab in the second year of Asa suc ceedeth his father Jeroboam in the kingdom of Israel, and reigneth not full two years. 953.−Ch. xv, 27. Nadab at the siege of Gibbethon (a town of the Philistines) is slain by Baasha of the tribe of Issachar in the third year of Asa; and the same year having made himself king over Israel, he utterly destroyeth the whole race of Jeroboam, and reigneth 24 years. At this time lived the prophets Jehu, Hanani, and Azarias. 951-2 Chronicles xiv, 9. Asa destroyeth idolatry, and, enjoying ten years of peace, strengthens his kingdom with forts and a standing army. - 941.-Ch. xv. Zerah the Ethiopian with an innumerable army invadeth Judah : Asa overcomes him, sacrificeth to God of the spoil, and maketh a solemn covenant with God. He also deposeth Maachah his grandmother, a great patro- ness of idolatry; bringeth into the temple those things which his father and himself had consecrated unto God, and enjoys a long peace. - ,930.-1 Kings xvi, 6, 8. Elah the son his father in the kingdom of Israel. 929.-Ch. xvi, 9. In the second year of his reign, and the twenty-seventh of Asa's, Zimri, one of his captains, con- spires against him, kills him, and reigneth in his stead. As soon as he sits in the throné, he destroyeth the whole fa- mily of Baasha; but the army which then lay before Gibbe" then makes Omri their king, who presently besiegeth Tir- zah, and taketh it; which Zimri seeing, he sets on fire the king's palace, and perisheth in the flames. 935. Ch. xvi, 2i, 22. The people of Israel are now dº vided into two factions; one follows Tibni the son of Gi- nath, and endeavours to make him king; the other adhere. to Omri; but Tibni dying, Omri reigns alone in the 31st year of Asa. & 924–Ch. xvi, 23, 24.

Ahab being dead, the Moabites revolt from Israel, who had continued in subjection ever since king David's days. - --2 Kings i ; 1 Kings xxii. Ahaziah king of Israel, lying jl of a fall, sends to consult Baalzebub the god of Ekron concerning his recovery. Elijah the prophet meeteth the messenger, and telleth him Ahaziah shall surely die ; where- apon two captains over fifty men apiece are sent to appre- hend him, and bring him before the king; Elijah calleth for fire from heaven, and destroyeth both them and their com: ;: A third captain with his fifty men being sent and ehaving himself submissively, Elijah goes along with him ; the prophet certifies the king that he shall not come down from his bed alive. So Ahaziah dieth, having governed (part- ly by himself, and partly together with his father) two years. —2 Kings iii, 1. Jehoram succeedeth his brother Ahaziah in the kingdom of Israel in the latter end of the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, and reigneth twelve years. —Ch. ii, 11. Elijah is taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot. 892.-2 Chronicles xxi, 2, 3; 2 Kings viii, 16. Jehoshaphat own old gives to his sons many gifts with fenced cities in udea ; but his eldest son Jehoram he now more absolutely investeth with the throne of the kingdom in the fifth year of Jehoram king of Israel. - 889.-2 Chronicles xxi, 4, 5; Genesis xxvii, 40; 2 Chroni- cles xxi, 10, 11. Jehoram now, by the death of his father, has the kingdom of Judah to himself, which he holds four years. He is no sooner settled in his throne, but he puts all his brethren to the sword, with many of the princes of Israel. At this time the Edomites, who ever since king David's time had lived in subjection to Judah, revolt, and (as it was foretold by Isaac) they for ever shake off his yoke. Libna also, a city of the priests in the tribe of Judah, falls off from him about this time. 888.--Ch. xxi, 12. Jehoram following the counsel of his wicked wife Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab king of Israel, sets up in Judah, and even in Jerusalem itself, the idolatrous worship of Baal, and compels his subjects thereto; a letter which was left for him by Elijah the prophet comes to his hands, which reproves him, and denounces all those calami- ties and punishments which afterwards befel him. 885.-2 Kings viii, 25. Ahaziah succeeds his father in the kingdom of Judah (having had part of the government be- stowed upon him the year before) in the twelfth year of Jehoram king of Israel, and reigneth one year in Jerusalem. 884.—Ch. viii, 28, ix; 2 Kings x. Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of Judah, lead their armies to Ramoth- gilead against Hazael, who had newly succeeded Ben-hadad in the kingdom of Syria; Jehoram is dangerously wounded, and retires himself to Jezreel to be cured. In the meantime Elisha sendeth a young prophet with instructions to anoint Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, at Ramoth- gilead, king over Israel, and to open to him the will of God for the rooting out of the house of Ahab ; who, being pro- claimed king by the soldiers, marcheth straight to Jezreel, and killeth Jehoram in the field of Naboth, and causeth Jeze- beel to be cast out at a window, where she is eaten by dogs. He despatcheth letters also to Samaria, and causeth seventy of Ahab's children to be beheaded. Then taking with him Jehomadab the son of Rechab, he comes himself to Samaria, and destroys the whole family of Ahab, and all the priests of Baal. Nevertheless, having put down the worship of Baal, he departs not from the worship of Jeroboam’s golden calyes, but maintains that idolatry all the time of his reign, which was twenty-eight years. —Ch. 1x, x. Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the di- vine vengeance unon the idolatrous house of Judah; he pursues Ahaziah, who fled towards Megiddo, and overtaking him at Gur, causeth him to be killed in his chariot. Going also to Samaria, he meeteth with forty-two of Ahaziah's kinsmen, whom he causeth to be slain. 884.—2 Kings xi.; 2 Chronicles xxii, 10. Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, seeing her son Ahaziah dead, usurps the kingdom, destroying those that had right to the succession; but Jehosheba the daughter of king Jehoram, and wife to Je. holada the high priest, takes Jehoash, being then an infant, and son to her brother Ahaziah, and hides him in the temple, and so saves him from that massacre which was made of the rest of the blood royal. 878. –2 Kings xi; 2 Chronicles xxiii. Jehoiada the high º: brings out Jehoash, now seven years old, and anoints im king; causeth Athaliah to be slain, and restoreth the worship of the true God, destroying the house of Baal, and Commanding the idolatrous priest Mattan to be killed before his altars. Jehoash, now beginning his reign in the seventh year of Jehu, reigneth 40 years in Jerusalem. .857.-2 Kings xii, 7. Jehoash, in the 23d year of his reign, giveth order for the repair of the temple, committing the charge thereof to Jehoiada the high priest. -Ch. xiii, 1, viii, 12. Jehoahaz succeedeth his father Jehu in the kingdom of Israel, and reigneth 17 years; during all which time Hazael king of Syria oppresseth him, and §erciseth all those cruelties upon the Israelites, which Elisha the prophet had foretold. - 841.-Ch. xiii, 10.

Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the high priest, for reproving the people of Judah that fall to idolatry after the decease of Jehoiada, is stoned to death in the court of the house of the Lord by the commandment of king Jehoash, who the next year after is murdered by some of his servants, as he lay in his bed; and Amaziah his son succeedeth him. - 839.--Ch. xiii. Jehoahaz dieth, and Jehoash his son suc- ceedeth in the kingdom of Israel. Not long after his father's funeral he visits Elisha the prophet, then lying sick, and with many tears asketh counsel of him, who promiseth him victory over the Syrians. A dead man is brought to life by being laid in Elisha's grave. " _ " . " 836.-Ch. xv., 1. Jeroboam, the second, is this year taken into the cºnsortship of the kingdom of Israel by his father Jehoash, going to war against the Syrians. This is gathe ed from Azariah king of Judah’s beginning his reign in the 2,th year of this Jeroboam. 826.-Ch. xiv.; 2 Chronicles xxv. Amaziah king of Judah, growing proud upon a victory obtained against the Edomitcs this 14th year of his reign, provoketh Jehoash king of Israel to battle. Jehoash overcomes him, and takes him prisoner, breaks down 400 cubits of the wall of Jerusalem, and having spoiled the temple and the king’s house of a vast treasure, returns to Samaria. .* - - 825.--2 Kings xiv, 23. Jehoash dies fifteen years before Amaziah, and Jeroboam the second, his son, reigneth in Samaria 41 years. 810.-Ch. xiv.; 2 Chronicles xxv ; 2 Kings xv. Amaziah, finding a conspiracy against him at Jerusalem, flies to La- chish, where he is murdered; after whom comes his son Uz- ziah, or Azariah, in the 27th year of Jeroboam the second, and reigneth 52 years in Jerusalem. 808.-Ch. xiv, 25; Isaiah ix, 1. Now is held the J3th Jubilee under the two most flourishing kings ; in whose times live sundry great prophets in both kingdoms; Isaiah and Joel in Judah; Jonas, Hosea, and Amos, in Israel. Jonah iii.; Matthew xii, 41. Jonas of Gath-hepher, a town belonging to the tribe of Zebulon in Galilee of the Gentiles, (observe here the blindness of the Pharisees, John vii, 52,) was afterwards sent into Nineveh, the metropolis of Assyria, where both king and people at his preaching repented. 784.—2 Kings xiv, 29. Jeroboam king of Israel (under whom that kingdom came to its full height of glory) dieth ; after his death all things fall into confusion, and the state is reduced to a plain anarchy, which lasteth eleven years and a half; for such an interregnum or vacancy the synchronism of Kings requires, that the six months of Zachariah the son Shallum, who murdered him in the 39th year of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Judah. 773.-Ch. xv, 8. Zachariah the son of Jeroboam, the fourth and last of the race of Jehu (as was foretold) begins his reign over Israel in the 38th year of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Judah, and reigneth six months. Jabesh, at the end of six months, murders him in the sight Uzziah king of Judah. After Zachariah's death follow those direful calamities foretold by Amos the prophet. 2 Kings xv., 14. Menahem the son of Gadi going from Tirzah to Samaria, killeth Shallum, wasteth Tiphsah and the borders thereof, and because the town would not open to him, he takes it, and rips up all the women with child. 771.-Ch. xv, 19. While Menahem in these broils labours to get the possession of the kingdom, Pul king of Assyria invadeth his country, to whom Menahem giveth 1000 talents of silver, and afterwards reigneth quietly ten years. 761,–Ch. xv, 23. Pekahiah succeedeth his father Mena- hem in the 50th year of Uzziah king of Judah, and reigneth two years. 759.-Ch. xv, 25, 27. Pekah, one of his captains, kills him in his own palace at Samaria, and reigneth twenty years. 758.—Ch. xv, 32. Jotham succeedeth his father Uzziah, in the kingdom of Judah at the age of 25 years, and reigneth 16 years in Jerusalem. —2 Chronicles xxvii, 5; Micah i, 1. Jotham subdues the Ammonites, and makes them tributary for three years. Un- der him and his two successors the prophets Micah and Hosea execute their prophetical office. About this time lived the prophet Nahum, and prophesied the destruction of Nineveh. 742. –2 Kings xvi, 1 ; 2 Chronicles xxviii, 1. Ahaz suc- ceedeth his father Jotham in the 17th year of Pekah king of Israel, and reigneth 16 years. 742–741.—Isaiah vii. This year Rezin king of Syria and Pekah king of Israel are confederate against Judah, which strikes a great terror into that nation; but unto Ahaz, God, by the prophet ſsaiah, sends a gracious message, with a pro- mise of deliverance; for a sign whereof (when the incredu- lous king, being bid to ask a sign, refused to do it). God gives him the promise of Immanuel to be born of a virgin. Rezin and Pekah now lay siege to Jerusalem, and therein to Ahaz, but are beaten off; Ahaz is no sooner delivered from his enemies, but he forsakes God his deliverer, and falls to idola- try. Wherefore God gives him over into the hands of the king of Israel, who slays of the men of Judah 120,000 in one day, with a great many of the mobility, and carrieth away 200,000 captives; but these, by the advice of the prophet Oded, are released and sent home. 739–730–2 Kings xv, 30. Hoshea the son of Elah mur- of Jeroboam may answer the 38 years and one month of 772–2 Kings xv., 10; Amos vii, 9.

Hoshea, by reason of the tumults and disorders which ensued, cannot be said to have reigned till nine years after, the state continuing all that time in great confusion, without any form of government. 728-Ch.:Vii, 3. Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, comes up against Hoshea, and makes him to serve him, and pay him tribute. 726.-Ch; xviii, 1 ; 2 Chron. xxix., xxx, xxxi. Hezekiah succeedeth his father Ahaz in the kingdom of Judah : he de- stroyeth idolatry, and prospers: he also celebrates a solemn passover, and reigneth 29 years in Jerusalem; his father had made him in the last year of his reign, his assistant in the government. - 725, 724–721–2, Kings, xvii, 4. Hoshea king of Israel having consulted with So king of Egypt, refuses to pay tri bute to Shalmaneser; provoked hereby, and jealous of some farther design in that confederacy of #. with the king of Egypt, Shalmaneser layeth siege to Samaria, and toward; the latter end of the third year taketh it, and carrieth away the Israelites captive into his own country. This was the end of the kingdom of Israel, when it had stood divided from the kingdom of Judah 254 years. - - 713–Ch. xviii. Sennacherib king of Assyria, coming up against Judah, besiegeth their fenced cities, and taketh many of them, but is pacified by a tribute. —Ch. xx; Isaiah xxxviii. About this time Hezekiah falls sick, and is told by Isaiah that he shall die; but pouring out his tears and prayers unto God, he recovereth his health, and obtaineth a prolongation of his life and kingdom for 15 years. For a sign whereo the sun goes ten degrees backward. 710,–2 Kings xix; Isaiah xxxvii. Sennacherib, not ob- serving the articles of peace, layeth siege to Jerusalem, and sendeth a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah; which he open- ing, and spreading before the Lord in the temple with many tears, craves assistance from God against the Assyrians. Whereupon the prophet Isaiah assures him that God will deliver him, and defend that city. The self-same might an angel of the Lord slays 185,000 men in the Assyrian army; and the next morning Sennacherib departeth, and returns to Nineveh where not long after, whilst he is worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, he is slain by his own sons. 698-677-2 Kings xxi.; 2 Chronicles xxxiii. Manasseh at twelve years of age succeedeth his father Hezekiah, and reigneth 55 years. He setteth up idolatry, and sheddeth much innocent blood. Wherefore God delivers him up into the hands of the Assyrians, who in the 22d year of his reign carry him away captive to Babylon : but upon his repentance God restores him to liis liberty and kingdom. ‘. . 656.--Judith xiii. This year Nebuchodomosor king of As- Syria, purposing to make himself universal monarch, sends Jolofernes his general against Judea, who layeth siege to Bethulia, and there hath his head taken off by Judith, a wo- man of the tribe of Simeon. 643– 2 Kings xxi, 19; 2 Clironicles xxxiii, 21, 22. Amon, aged 22 years, succeedeth his father Manasseh, and reigneth two years. An idolater indeed, as his father, but no peni- tent : he is murdered by his own servants. 641.--2, Kings xxii, I. Josiah, a child of eight years old, succeedeth his father Amon, and reigneth 31 years. In his time lived Jeremiah and Zephaniah the prophets, and Hul- dah the prophetess. 630–2 Chronicles xxxiv. In the 12th year of his reign, he begins a reformation in Judah and Jerusalem, and carries it |on successfully. 624–2. Kings xxiii; 2 Chronicles xxxiv. This year he giveth order for the repair of the temple. Hilkiah the high priest, having found a book of the law, sends it to the king, who hears it read all over to him ; and thereupon asketh counsel of Huldah the prophetess, who prophesieth the de- struction of Jerusalem, but not in his days. Josiah calling to him the elders of Judah and Jerusalem, with the priests and prophets, causeth the book of the law to be read over before all the people, and reneweth the covenant between God and his people; he burneth also dead men's bones upon the altar at Beth-el, as was foretold ; and keepeth a most solemn passover. 610.-2 Kings xxiii, 29; Zech. xii, 11 ; 2 Chron. xxxv, 25; Lamentations iv, 20. At this time a war breaks out be- tween the king of Egypt and the king of Assyria. Josiah unadvisedly engageth in this war against Necho king of Egypt, and is slain in the valley of Megiddo. The good king being thus taken out of the world, whose life only kept off the Babylonish captivity, from that nation, not only the people then living bewailed his death, but even in after time a public mourning for him was kept. The prophet Jeremy also in remembrance thereof composeth his i.amen tations ; wherein bewailing the calamities which were shortly to befall that people, as present before his eyes, in a most compassionate manner he points, as it were with his finger, at the death of Josiah as the source and original of all those ensuing miseries. —2 Kings xxiii; 2 Chronicles xxxvi. After the death of Josiah, the people anoint Shallum, one of his younger sons, to be their king. After three months’ reign he is deposed by Pharaoh Necho, who makes Eliakim, his elder brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changes his name into Jehoiakim; but Jehoahaz he carries along with him captive into Egypt, where he ends his days, - - —Ch. xxxvi, 5.

This year is Nebuchadnezzar the great made by his father Nebopolazzar his associate in the king- dom of Assyria and Babylon; into whose hands God delivers up Jehoiakim, who is put in chains to be carried to Baby- ión; but upon his submission and promises of obedience is left in his own house, where he lives a servant to Nebuchad- mezzar three years. From which entering of the king and people of the Jews into the subjection and service of Nebu- chadnezzar are the 70 years of the captivity of Babylon to be reckoned, which were foretold by the prophet Jeremy. —Daniel i, 3, 7; Isaiah xxxix, 7. Nebuchadnezzar gives order to Ashpenaz, master of the eunuchs, that he shall carry from thence of the children of Israel, both of the blood royal (as was foretold by the prophet Isaiah to Heze- kiah) and also of the nobility the choicest youth both for beauty and wit that he can find; who, being educated three years in the language and sciences of the Chaldeans, may afterwards be fit to serve the king in his palace; among whom, of the tribe of Judah, are Daniel, called Belteshaz- zar; Hannaiah, called Shadrach; Mishael, called Meshach ; and Azariah, called Abed-nego; their names being thus changed by the master of the eunuchs. 605.—Daniel i, 2; 2 Chronicles xxxvi, 7. Whilst Nebu- chadnezzar pursues his victories over the king of Egypt, his father dies, which coming to his knowledge, he gives order for the bringing away of the captives, and posts with a small company the nearest way to Babylon, where he is re- ceived as the lawful successor to his father's dominions. He causeth to be brought to Babylon what he thinks fit of the vessels and furniture of the temple, and placeth them in the ... house of his god, viz. Belus. 603–2 Kings xxiv, 1. Jehoiakim, having lived three years in subjection to the king of Babylon, falls off, and re- bels against him. ‘. —Daniel ii. This year (being the second of Nebuchad- mezzar's reign, taking it as it begun at his father's death, Daniel recovers Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, and interprets it to betóken the four chief monarchies; whereupon he and his companions are highly advanced. 600, 599.-2 Kings xxiv, 2.; Jeremiah xxii, 18, xxxvi, 30. Nebuchadnezzar sends an army, consisting of Chaldeans, Sy- rians, Moabites, and Ammonites, against Jehoiakim ; these waste the whole country of Judea, and carry away from thence 3023 captives; Jehoiakim also is taken prisoner; whom they put to death, cause his carcass to be drawn out at the gate of Jerusalem (as was foretold by the prophet Jeremiah) and leave it without the walls unburied. —2 Kings xxiv, 8. Jehoiachin (called also Conias and Jeconias) at eighteen years of age succeeds his father Je- hoiakim, and reigns three months in Jerusalem. - —2 Chronicles xxxvi, 9; Isaiah xxxix, 6; Jeremiah xxiv, 1; Ezekiel xvii, 12, i, 2, 3; Baruch vi. Against him Nebu- chadnezzar leads an army, and beseigeth Jerusalem : Je- hoiachin with all his kindred and courtiers come out to meet him, Nebuchadnezzar makes them all prisoners, enters Je- rusalem, and takes all the treasure he can find in the temple and the king's palace, breaking in pieces all the vessels of gold and furniture which Solomon had made for the temple; he carrieth away captive to Babylon the king, his mother, wives, courtiers, magistrates, and 10,000 able men out of Jerusalem, leaving none behind but the poorer sort of peo- ple ; and out of the country round about he carried also away 8000 artificers; among the captives are Mordecai, and Ezekiel the priest; Ezekiel therefore in his prophecy reck- ons the time all along from the beginning of this captivity. An epistle, said to be Jeremiah's is now sent to the cap- tives, admonishing them to beware of the idolatry which they shall see in Babylon. —2 Kings xxiv, 17; 2 Chronicles xxxvi. Nebuchadnez- zar before his departure from Jerusalem makes Mattaniah, Jehoiachin's father's brother, king, changing his name into Zedekiah, - 588.-2 Kings xxv ; Jeremiah i, 3, xxxix, lii. Zedekiah, beginning his reign at 21 years of age, reigneth 11 years; he, by rebelling against Nebuchadnezzar, or rather by con- tinuing in an open rebellion (as his fathers had done) against God, brought upon Jerusalem and the whole nation of the Jews those long deserved calamities which God had so often forewarned them of by his prophets; for, in the latter end of the 11th year of Zedekiah, Jerusalem, after a long siege, is taken by Nebuchadnezzar, and his Chaldeans enter it. Zedekiah flees away by night, but, being pursued, is taken, and brought prisoner to Riblah, Nebuchadnezzar's head quarters; there having first seen his children slaugh- tered before his eyes, he has afterwards those eyes put out, and being loaded with chains, is carried away captive to Babylon. About a month after the taking of the city, Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, sent by Nebuchadnez- zar, makes his entry into it, sets fire to the temple, the king's palace, and some noblemen's houses, and so layeth the whole city in ashes; the walls of Jerusalem being razed to the ground, all that were left in the city, and those that a little before had fallen to the Chaldeans, with what trea- sure he can find, doth Nebuzar-adan carry with him into Babylon. —Ch. lii, 26; 2 Kings xxv, 21.

Cyrus having given the king- dom of Babylon to Darius the Mede, reserving some palaces in the city for himself, he returns through Media into Persia. —Ch. vi., 6. Daniel’s greatness raising envy in some principal courtiers and officers, these contrive his ruin: but finding nothing in his management of affairs whereof to ac- cuse him, they resolve to order matters so, that Daniel's piety towards God shall become an offence worthy of death. They move the king to make a decree, that for 30 days no petition shall be made to any god or man, but to himself Which decree Daniel breaks by making supplication to his God, and is for doing so cast into a den of lions : but being found to have received no hurt there, Darius com- mands the conspirators to be cast into the same den, who are presently devoured; and the king publisheth a decree. that all persons throughout his dominions shall reverence 537.-Ch. ix; Jeremiah xxix, 10 - Daniel ix. Towards the end of the first year of the reign of Darius the Mede, to be reckoned from the subversion of the Babylonish empire, begins the 70th year of the captivity of the Jews, which, by Jeremiah’s prophecy, was to be the last year of their cala- mity. Upon consideration of which time so near at hand, Daniel pours out most fervent prayers to God for the re- mission of his own sins, and those of his people ; and for that promised deliverance out of their captivity. To whom the angel Gabriel brings an answer not only of this, but also of the spiritual deliverance of the church by the death of the Messiah; uttering that memorable prophecy of the 536. The Persian empire.—Ezra i,2; Isaiah xliv, 28, xliv, 1, 13. Cyrus, his father Cambyses, and his father in law Cyaxares both dying, Persia falls to him by inheritance, and Media by contract of marriage: and so he is possessed of the whole eastern empire; from which time both Xenophon (Inst. lib. 8,) reckons the seven years of his reign, and the Holy Scripture out of the records of the Medes and Per- sians, reckons this his first year; for it teacheth us, that in this year came forth that renowned edict of his, Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and hath charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem which is in Judah, &c. At which time the 70 years of the Babylonish captivity being expired, (as was foretold by Isaiah and Jeremiah, the for- |mer making mention of Cyrus by name) he gives leave to all the Jews, dwelling in all parts of his dominions, to re turn to their own country; and commands them immediately to fall in hand with rebuilding of the temple. He restoreth also all the vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from thence; and con tributes towards the building. - —Ezra i, 5, 6, ii; Nehemiah vii; Acts xxvi, 7 ; Lamen- tations i, 1 ; Luke ii, 36. The Jews therefore return into their own country; the poorer sort having allowance made them to defray their charges upon the way. The number of the children of the province, or Hebrews born in Chal dea, which with their captain Zerubbabel, and their high priest Jeshua, return out of captivity, is 42,360, besides pro- selytes, men servants, and maid servants, to the number of 7337. Now the particular sums of Ezra's catalogue being cast up amount only to 29,818; and those in Nehemiah's account make but 31,031, both which come far short of thal universal sum of 42,360, which at the bottom of each cata logue is said to be the number of the whole congregation Wherefore the Hebrews in the xxix chapter of their great chronicle tell us, that to complete the full sum 42,360, we must cast in those of the other ten tribes of Israel, who came up out of the captivity with the Jews. For even till the last extirpation of the Jewish state there remained some re- lics of the other ten tribes, not only in the dispersion, and at Jerusalem, and other cities-of Judah; but also of those who kept still in their own seats; for Shalmaneser swept not away all out of the whole ten tribes, but left a remnant of them in their own country, who were afterwards, together with the Jews, Benjamités, and Levites, carried away by Nebuchadnezzar into Babylon, and are now dismissed and sent back again by Cyrus. - —Ezra iii, 8, 13. In the second year after their return from Babylon, in the second month, they appoint Levites to oversee the work of the house of God, ...' lay the foun- dation of the temple; the old men lamenting, who 53 years before had seen the old temple standing, and the younger sort rejoicing to see the new one going up. - —Ch. iv, 5. The Samaritans by the means of certain courtiers about Cyrus, whom they had bribed for that pur- pose, disturb the Jews in their work of the temple. —Ch. iv, 6. In the beginning of the reign of Artaxerxes (called in profane story Cambyses) the Samaritans, who, whilst Cyrus lived, had secretly undermined the Jews, now openly frame a direct accusation in writing against the in- habitants of Judah, and Jerusalem, and present it to the king, who presently forbids the Jews to proceed in the building. 520-Ch. v., 1.

In the sixth year of Darius, or Ahasuerus, the temple is finished; the dedication whereof is celebrated with great joy and abundance of sacrifices, the Priests and Levites, every one in his place, attending on the ministry of the temple. The passover also is celebrated. 510–Esther iii.; Deuteronomy xxv, 19. Haman an Aga- gite, of the race of the Amalekites, a great favourite of king Ahasuerus, offended at Mordecai, because he falls not down and adores him, as others do resolves to be revenged on the whole nation of the Jews, (which was ever averse to his,) and to root it out; for the executing of which purpose, that he may find a successful time, he causeth Pur, that is, the lot, to be cast before him, for to know the day and month wherein the Jews shall be destroyed, and the lot falls on the 12th month, Adar. —Esther iv. Haman obtains an edict from the king, that all Jews, without respect to sex or age, upon the thirteenth day of the month Adar, be put to death in all the province; of the king's dominions. Hereupon Mordecai, Esther, and all the Jews, humble themselves before the Lord by fasting and prayer. e 510.—Esther vi. Ahasuerus hearing it read in the chrºni cles, that a conspiracy had been discovered to him by Mor: decai, commandeth that he be publicly honoured, and that by Haman himself, his deadly enemy. 509.-Ch. vii, ix.

Hitherto (saith Eusebius in his Chronicle, to the 32d year of Artaxerxes) the Divine Scriptures of the Hebrews contain the ammals of the times. But those things which were done among them afterwards we must deliver out of the books of the Maccabees, and out of the writings of Jo- sephus, who have delivered a general history of the Jewish affairs from thence down to the times of the Romans. —Ch. xiii.; Malachi iv, 4; Luke i, 17 ; Matthew xi, 14, xvii, 12. That Malachi, the last of the prophets, was con- temporary with Nehemiah, appears from hence, that he no- where exhorts the people to the building of the temple, as Haggai and Zachary did; but, the temple being now built, he reproves those disorders, which Nehemiah at his second return with a new commission from Babylon saith he ſound in his absence to have crept in among the Jews; as mar- riage with strange women, withholding of tithes, and abuses in the worship of God. And because a succession of prophets was not to be expected, as before, he exhort- eth the people constantly to adhere to the law of Moses, till Christ the chief Prophet should appear; whose fore- runner John the Raptist should come in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. See 1 Macc. iv., 46, and ix, 17. B. C. 335.-Jos. Ant. i., 11. c. 8. Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia, passeth out of Europe into Asia, and begins to lay waste the Persian empire. 332.—Id. ibid.

This was the rise of that schismatical conventicle of the Samaritans. See John iv, 20. —Jos. Ant. i., 11. c. 8; Daniel viii, 7, xi, 13. Alexander marcheth towards Jerusalem, intending to besiege it.

Alexander, seeing his habit, falls prostrate before him, saying that, whilst he was in Mace- donia, a man appeared unto him in the very same habit, who invited him to come into Asia, and promised to deliver the Persian empire into his hands. After this he goes to the temple, and offers sacrifice according to the high priest’s direction.

He sendeth Reveral colonies of Jews into Egypt, and puts great confi- dence in them. 277.-Jos. Amt. i., 12. c. 2.

The king also dis- misseth many captive Jews, and dedicates many presents to the temple of God at Jerusalem. 177.-2 Maccabees iii. One Simon, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, governor of the temple, falling out with Onias the high priest, goes to Apollonius the governor of Celo- Syria, and informs him that there is a vast treasure in the temple: Apollonius acquaints king Seleucus his master with it, who presently sends his treasurer Heliodorus to Jerusa- lem, to bring this money away.

Of the Jews many choose rather to undergo the most cruel torments, than to offer sacrifice unto idols; all which martyrdoms, with those glorious sufferings of the seven Maccabean bre- thren, are recorded in the two Books of Maccabees.

A MEASURE is a known quantity applied to another of the same kind that is less known, to make its dimensions better known, by help of numbers expressing the proportion that the known quantity bears to the unknown. The dimensions to be measured are three: 1. Mere length, which hath but one dimension, 2. Surface, which consists of length multiplied into breadth; so it hath two dimensions, as it were interwoven ; and this is always measured by some square surface already known, as by a square fºot, or a square cubit, or any other square already known, by help of its side. Moses generally useth the square cubit. 3. Solidity or Capacity, which hath three dimensions multi- F. into each other: length, breadth, and height, or depth. .. This is measured by a tnown cube. From solidity ariseth weight in all sublunary bodies; and by weight we measure the value of coins. Therefore I shall join weights and coins together in the fourth table. - I use = to signify Equal ; ; ; to express Proportion ; , is called Separatriæ, parting decimals from integers, TABLE I. Measures of Length. I express the Cubit, and its Parts, both by Inch Measure, and by Foot Measure; which I deduce from Inches by this proportion : Inch Meas. Foot Meas. As 12. 1. : : 21.888 1.894.

Moses hath described these by square Cubits. I here express them reduced to our square Feet. I first propose three clear examples given by Moses ; Secondly, I place six instances of greater difficulty. The clearest examples are I. The Altar of Incense. Only two sides of it, viz. its length and breadth, are ex- ressed by Moses; each of them is affirmed to be one Cubit. Yet he declares it was bursquare ; whence we colkect, that it was just one square Cabit. See Exod. xxx, 2. º A.

Have mercy, hear my pray’r; thou hast e. larg’d me in distress. 2 O ye the sons of men, how long will ye love vanities 2 How long my glory turn to shame, and will ye follow lies 2 3 But know, that for himself the Lord the godly man uuch choose : The Lord, when I on him do call, to hear will not refuse. Fear, and sin not; talk with your heart on bed and silent be. - Off”rings present of righteousness, and in the Lord trust ye. O who will show us any good is that which many say: But of thy countenance the light, Lord lift on us alway. Upon my heart, bestow’d by thee, more gladness I have found, [wine Than they ev’n then, when corn and did most with them abound. 7 14 That I, in Zion's daughters' gates, may all thy praise advance ; And that I may rejoice always in thy deliverance; The heathem are sunk in the pit, which they themselves prepar’d And in the net which they have hid, their own feet fast are smar’d. The Lord is by the judgment known, which he himself hath wrought: The sinners’ lands do make the SIlºll'6:S . where with themselves are caught. They who are wicked, into hell each one shall turned be ; And all the nations that forget to seek the Lord most high.

That they may know themselves but I 9 20 men, the nations, Lord, affright. PsALM 10. HEREFORE is it that thou, Q Lord, dost stand from us afar ” And wherefore hidest thou thyself, when times so troublous are 2 2 The wicked in his loftiness, doth persecute the poor; In these devices they have fram’d let thern be taken sure. 3 The wicked of his heart’s desire doth talk with boasting great; He blesseth him that’s covetous, whom yet the Lord doth hate. The wicked, through his pride of face, on God he doth not call ; And in the counsels of his heart the Lord is not at all. 5 His ways they always grievous are ; thy judgments from his sight Removed are : at all his foes he puffeth with despite. 6 Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be ; And no adversity at all shall ever come to me. 7 His mouth with cursing, fraud, deceit, is filled abundantly; And underneath his tongue there is mischief and vanity. He closely sits in villages; he slays the innocent : Against the poor, that pass him by, his cruel eyes are bent. 8 PsALM 1. THAT man hath perfect lessedness, who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men, nor stands in sinners’ Way ; Nor sitteth in the scorner’s chair: 2 But placeth his delight Upon God’s law, and meditates on his law day and night. 3 He shall lic like a tree that grows near planted by a river, Which in his season yields his fruit, and his leaf fadeth never ; And all he do?th shall prosper well. 4 The wicked are not so ; But like they are unto the chaff, which wind drives to and fro. 5 In judgment, therefore, shall not stand such as ungodly are ; Nor in the assembly of the Just shall wicked men appear 6 For why 2 the way of godly men unto the Lord is known : Whereas the way of wicked men shalſ quite be overthrown. PsALM 2. WHY rage the heathen 2 and vain things why do the people mind 3 9 Kings of the earth do set themselves, and princes are combin’d To plot against the Lord, and his Anointed, saying thus, 3 Let us asunder break their bands, and cast their cords from us. 4 He that in heaven sits, shall laugh ; the Lord shall scorn them all. 5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath, in rage he vex them shall. 6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have him to be my king appointed ; And o'er Zion, my holy hill, I have him King anointed f The sure decree I will declare : the Lord hath said to me, 'Thou art mine only Son; this day I F. -ve begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and for heritage the heathen I’ll make thine ; And, for possession, I to thee will give earth’s utmost line. 9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod of iron break them all ; And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt them dash in pieces small. 10 Now, therefore, kings, be wise ; be taught, ye judges of the earth; 11 Serve God in fear, and see that ye join trembling with your mirth. 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire ye perish from the way, If once his wrath begin to burn : bless’d all that on him stay. PsALM 3. O LORD, how are my foes increas'd : against me many rise. 2 Many say of my soul, For him in God no succour lies. 3 Yet thou my shield and glory art, th’ uplifter of mine head. 4 I cried, and from his holy hill the Lord me answer made. 5 liaid me down and slept ; I wak’d ; for God sustained me. 6 I will not fear though thousands ten Set round against me be. 7 Arise Q Lordſ; save me my God; for tilou my foes hast stroke All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth of wicked men hast broke. 8 Salvation doth appertain unto the Lord alone. Thy blessing. Lord, for evermore thy people is upon. PsALM 4. IVE ear unto me when I call, God of my righteousness: "THE 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and quiet sleep will take : Because thou only me to dwell in safety, Lord, dost make. PsALM 5. Gº ear unto my words, O Lord, my meditation weigh. 2 Hear my loud cry, my King, my God ; for I to thee will pray. 3 Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice; I early will direct My pray’r to thee ; and, looking up, an answer will expect. 4 For thou art not a God that doth in wickedness delight; Neither shall evil dwell with thee, Nor fools stand in thy sight. All that ill doers art thou hat’st; 6 Cutt’st off that liars be ; The bloody and deceitful man abhorred is by thee. * 7 But I into thine house will come in thine abundant grace ; And I will worship in thy fear, toward thy holy place. 8 Because of those mine enemies, Lord, in thy righteousness Do thou me lead ; do thou thy way make straight before my face. 9 For in their mouth there is no truth, their in ward part is ill ; Their throat’s an open Sepulchre, their tongue doth flatter still. 10 O God, destroy them ; let them be. by their own counsel quell'd : Them for their many sins, cast out: . for they against thee rebell’d. 11 But let all joy that trust in thee, and still inake shouting noise: For them thou sav’st : let all that love thy name in thee rejoice. 12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man thou wilt thy blessing yield ; With ſavour thou wilt compass him about, as with a shield. PsALM 6. Lº in thy wrath rebuke me not, nor in thy hot rage chasten me. 2 Lord, pity me, for I am weak: heal me, for my bones vexed be. 3 My soul is also vexed sore: [make but, Lord, how long stay wilt thou 4 Return, O Lord, my soul set free : O save me for thy mercy’s sake. 5 Because those that deceased are of thee shall no refrienbrance have ; And who is he that will to thee give praises lying in the grave 2 I with iny groaning weary am, I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim ; and I with tears my couch have watered. because of all mine enemies. [old, 8 Hence from me, wicked workers all ; for God hath heard my weeping cries. 7 Mine eye consum’d with grief, grows; 10 Sham’d and sore vex'd he all my foes; sham’d and back turned suddenly. Jānother of the same. IN thy great indignation, O Lord, rebuke me not ; Nor on me lay thy chast’ning hand Jn thy displeasure hot. 2 Lord, I am weak, therefore on me have mercy, and me spare : Heal me, O Lord, because thou know?st my bones much vexed are. 3 My soul is vexed sore ; but, Lord, how long stay wilt thou Inake 2 4 Return, Lord, free my soul, and save me for thy mercy’s sake. 5 Because of thee in death there shall no more remembrance be ; Of those that in the gravé do lie, who shall give thanks to thee 2 6 I with my groaning weary ann, and all the night my bed I caused for to swim ; with tears my couch I watered. 7 By reason of my vexing grief, mine eye consumed is ; It waxeth old, because of all that be mine enemies. 8 But now, depart from me, all ye that work iniquity: For why, the Lord hath heard my voice, when I did mourn and cry. 9 Unto my supplication the Lord did hearing give : When I to him my prayer make, the Lord will it receive. 10 Let all be sham’d and troubled sore, that en’mies are to me; Let them turn back, and suddenly ashamed let them be. PSALM 7. O LORD my God, in thee do I my confidence repose ; Save and deliver me from all my persecuting foes. 2 Lest that the enemy my soul should like a lion tear, In pieces rending it, while there is no deliverer. 3 O Lord my God, if it be so that I committed this : If it be so that in my hands iniquity there is ; If I rewarded ill to him that was at peace with me; (Yea, ev’n the man that without cause my foe was, I did free ;) 5 Then let the foe pursue and take my soul, and my life thrust Down to the earth, and let him lay mine honour in the dust. 6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord ; raise thyself, for my foes raging be ; And, to the judgment which thou hast commanded, wake for me. 7 So shall th’ assembly of thy folk about encompass thee : Thou, therefore, for their sakes return, unto thy place on high. 8 The Lord he shall the people judge: my judge, Jehovah, be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me. 9 O let the wicked’s malice end ; but 'stablish stedfastly The righteous: for the righteous God the hearts and reins doth try. 10 In God who saves th' upright in heart, is my defence and stay. 11 God just men judgeth, God is wroth with ill men every day. 12 If he do not return again, then he his sword will whet: His bow he hath already bent, and hath it ready set. 13 He also hath for him prepar’d the instruments of death : Against the persecutors he his shafts ordained hath. |9 God hath my supplication heard; my pray’r received graciously. 14 Behold, he with iniquity doth travail, as in birth : A mischief he conceived hath, and falsehood shall bring forth. 15 He made a pit, and digg’d it deep, another there to take ; . But he is fall’n into the ditch which he himself did make. 16 Upon his own head his mischief shall be returned home : His vi’lent dealing also down on his own pate shall come. 17 According to his righteousness the Lord I’ll magnify ; And will sing praise unto the nam of God that is most high. - PSALM 8. H OW excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord is thy name ! Who hast thy glory far advanc’d above the starry fraine. 2 From infants and from sucklings’ mouth, thou didest strength ordain, For thy foes’ cause, that so thou might’st th’ avenging foe restrain. 3 When I look up unto the heav'ns, which thine own fingers fram’d, Unto the moon, and to the stars, which were by thee ordain’d ; 4 Then say I, What is man, that he remember?d is by thee * Or what the son of man, that thou so kind to him should'st be 2 5 For thou a little lower hast him than the angels made, With glory and with dignity thou crowned hast his head. 6 Of thy hands’ works thou mad'st him lord, - all under ’s feet didst lay : 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts that in the field do stray : 8 Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, all that pass through the same. 9 How excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord, is thy name ! PsALM 9. ORD, thee I’ll praise with all my heart, - thy wonders all proclaim. 2 In thee, Most High, I’ll greatly joy, and sing unto thy name. 3 When back my foes were turn’d, they fell, and perished at thy sight: 4 For thou maintain’dst my right and Cºl{ISG : on throne satt'st, judging right. 5 The heathen thou rebuked hast, the wicked overthrown ; Thou hast put out their names, that they may never more be known. O en’my now destructions have an end perpetual : Thou cities raz’d ; perish’d with them is their memorial. 7 God shall endure for ay; he doth for judgment set his throne; 8 In righteousness to judge the world, justice to give each one. God also will a refuge be for those that are oppress'd ; A refuge will he be in times of trouble, to distress’d. 10 And they that know thy name, in thee their confidence will place : For thou hast not forsaken them that truly seek thy face. 11 O sing ye praises to the Lord, that dwells on Zion hill ; And all the nations among his deeds record ye still. 12 When he inquireth after blood, he then rememb’reth them : The humble folk he not forgets that call upon his name. 13 Lord, pity me; beſiold the grief which I from foes sustain : Ev’n thou, who from the gates of death dost raise me up again : 9 He, lion-like, lurks in his den : he waits the poor to take : And when he draws him in his net, his prey he doth him make. - 10 Himself he humbleth very low, he croucheth down withal, That so a multitude of poor may by his strong ones fall. 11 He thus hath said within his heart, The Lord hath quite forgot : He inides his countenance : and he forever sees it not. 12 O Lord, do thou arise ; O God, lift up thine hand on high : Put not the meek afflicted ones out of thy memory. 13 Why is it that the wicked man thus doth the Lord despise 2 Because, that God will it requite he in his heart denies. 14 Thou hast it seen : for their mischief and spite thou wilt repay : The poor commits himself to thee : thou art the orphan’s stay 15 The arm break of the wicked man, and of the evil one ; Do thou seek out his wickedness, until thou findest none. 16 The Lord is King through ages all, ev’n to eternity: The leathen people from his land are perish’d utterly 2 17 O Lord of those that humble are thou the desire didst hear : Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thout to hear wilt bend thine ear: 18 To judge the fatherless, and those that are oppressed sore : That man, that is but sprung of earth, may tilein oppress no more. PsALM 11. I ÍN the Lord do put my trust; how is it then that ye Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird, unto your mountain high 3 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, their shafts on strings they fit; That those who upright are in heart they privily may hit.

PsALM 18. Tº will I love, O Lord, my strength, 2 My fortress is the Lord ; My rock, and he that doth to me deliverance afford : My God, my strength, whom I will trust, a buckler unto me ; The horn of my salvation, and my high tow’r is he. 3 Upon the Lord, who worthy is of praises, will I cry: And then shall ſ preserved be safe from mine enemy. Floods of ill men affrighted me, death’s pangs about me went: Hell’s sorrows me environed ; death’s snares did me prevent. . 6 In my distress I call’d on God, cry to my God did I : He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry. Th’ earth, as affrighted then did shake, trembling upon it seiz’d ; The hills’ foundations moved were, because he was displeas'd. 7 8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke, and from his mouth there came Devouring fire, and coals by it were turned into flame. He also bowed down the heav’ns, and thence he did descend : And thickest clouds of darkness did under his feet attend. 9 20 According to my righteousness he did me recompense ; He me repaid according to my hands’ pure innocence. For I God’s ways kept, from my God did not turn wickedly. His judgments were before me, I his laws put not from me. 2 º 2 3 Sincere before him was my heart, with him upright was l ; and watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity. After my righteousness the Lord hath recom penised me, After the clean mess of my hands appearing in his eye. 2 4 4 Their line is gone through all the earth, their words to the world’s end, 5 6 7 God’s law is perfect, and converts the soul in sin th;ut lies God’s testimony is most sure, and makes the simple wise. 8 The stat ites ºf the Lord are right, and do rejoice the heart: The Loru’s command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart, 3 If the foundations be destroy’d what hath the righteous dome 3 4 God in his holy temple is, in heaven is his throne : His eyes do see, his eyelids try Men’s sons. The just he proves: But his soul hates the wicked man, and him that vi’lence loves. 6 Snares, fire and brimstone, furious storms, on sinners he shall rain : This, as the portion of their cup, doth unto them pertain. 7 Because the Lord, most righteous, doth in righteousness delight ; And with a pleasing countenance beholdeth the upright. PsALM 12. H%. Lord, because the godly man - doth daily fade away; And from among the sons of men the faithful do decay. 2 Unto his neighbour ev’ry one doth utter vanity: They with a double heart do speak, and lips of flattery. 3 God shall cut off all flatt’ring lips, tongues that speak proudly, thus, 4 We’ll with our tongues prevail, our lips are ours: who’s lord o'er us? 5 For poor oppress'd, and for the sighs of needy, rise will I, Saith God, and him in safety set from such as him defy. 6 The words of God are words most pure; they he like silver tried In earthen furnace, seven times that hath been purified. 7 Lord, thou shalt them preserve and, keep for ever from this race. 8 On each side walk the wicked, when vile men are high in place. PsALM 13. Hº long wilt thou forget me, Lord 2 shall it for ever be 2 O how long shall it be that thou wilt hide thy face from me * 2 How long take counsel in my soul, still sad in heart, shall I ? How long exalted over me shall be mine enemy 3 O Lord my God, consider well, and answer to me make : Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep of death me overtake : 4 Lest that mine enemy should say, Against him I prevail’d : And those that trouble me, rejoice, when I am moved and fail’d. .5 But I have all my confidence thy mercy set upon : My heart within me shall rejoice in thy salvation. 6 I will unto the Lord my God sing praises cheerfully, Because he hath his bounty shown to me abundantly. PsALM 14. HAT there is not a God, the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile; not one of them do”th good. 2. Upon men’s sons the Lord from heav'n did cast his eyes abroad, To see if any understood, and did seek after God. 3 They altogether filthy are; they all aside are gone; - And there is none that doeth good, yea, sure there is not one. 4 These workers of iniquity do they not know at all 2 That they my people eat as bread, and on God do not call 5 There fear'd they much: for God is with the whole race of the just. 6 You shame the counsel of the poor, iyecause God is his trust. 7 Let Isrºel’s help from Zion come when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing. PsALM 15. WAYITH IN thy tabernacle, Lord, who shall abide with thee 3 And in thy high and holy hill who shall a dweller be 2 2 The man that waſketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness; And as he thinketh in his heart, so doth he truth express. 3 Who doth not slander with his tongue, nor to his friend do?th hurt; Nor yet against his neighbour doth take up an ill report. 4 In whose eyes vile men are despis’d ; but those that God do fear He honoureth : and changeth not, though to his hurt he swear. 5 His coin puts not to usury, nor take reward will he Against the guiltless. Who do?th thus, shall never inoved be. PsALM 16. Lº: keep me ; for I trust in thee. 2 To God thus was my speech ; Thou art my Lord, and unto thee my goodness doth not reach : 3 To saints on earth, to th” excellent, where my delight 's all plac’d. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied, to other gods that haste : Of their drink-offerings of blood I will no off’ring make ; Yea, neither ſ their very names up in my lips will take. 5 God is of nine inheritance and cup the portion ; The lot that fallen is to me thou dost maintain alone. 6 Unto me happily the lines in pleasant places fell : Yea, the inheritance I got in beauty doth excel. 7 I bless the Lord, because he doth by counsel me conduct; And in the seasons of the night my reins do me instruct. 8 Before me still the Lord I set : sith it is so, that he Doth ever stand at my right hand, I shall not moved be. 9 Because of this my heart is glad, and joy shall be exprest Ev’n by my glory ; and my flesh in confidence shall rest. 10 Because my soul in grave to dwell shall not be left by thee ; Nor wilt thou give thine Holy One corruption to see. 11 Thou wilt me show the path of life; of joys there is full store Before thy face; at thy right hand are pleasures evermore. } PsALM 17. ORD, hear the right, attend my cry, unto my pray’r give heed, That doth not in hypocrisy from feigned lips proceed. 2 And from before thy presence forth my sentence do thou send ; Toward these things that equal are, do thou thine eyes intend. 3 Thou prov’dst mine heart ; thou visit?dst me - by night ; thou did'st me try, Yet nothing found'st ; for that my mouth shall not sin, purpos’d I. 4 As for men's works, I, by the word that from thy lips doth flow, Did me preserve out of the paths wherein destroyers go. 5 Hold up my goings, Lord, me guide in those thy paths divine ; So that my footsteps may not slide out of these ways of thine. 6 I called have on thee, O God, because thou wilt me hear: That thou may’st hearken to my speech, to me incline thine ear. 7 Thy wondrous loving-kindness show, thou that, by thy right hand, Sav’st them that trust in thee, from those that up against them stand |13 Arise, and disappoint my foe, 10 And he upon a cherub rode, and thereon he did fly ; Yea, on the swift wings of the wind his flight was from on high. 11 He darkness made his secret place : about him for his tent, Dark waters were, and thickest clouds of th” airy firmament. 12 And at the brightness of that light which was before his eye, His thick clouds pass'd away, hail- St0tleS and coals of fire did fly. 13 The Lord God also in the heav’ns did thunder in his ire ; And there the highest gave his voice; hailstones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he his arrows sent abroad, and them he scattered ; His lightnings also he shot out, and them discomfited. 15 The waters' channels then were seen, the world’s foundations vast At thy rebuke discover'd were, and at thy nostrils’ blast. 16 And from above the Lord sent down, and took me from below : From many waters he me drew, which would me overflow. 17 He me relieved from my strong foes, and such as did me hate : Because he saw that they for me too strong were, and too great. 18 They me prevented in the day of my calamity : But even then the Lord himself a stay was unto me. 19 He to a place where liberty and room was, hath me brought: Because he took delight in me, Thou gracious to the gracious art, to upright men upright; Pure to the pure; forward thou kyth'st unto the forward wight. For thou wilt the afflicted save, in grief that low do lie : But wilt bring down the countenance of them whose looks are high. 26 27 28 The Lord will light my candle so, that it shall shine full bright; The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light. 29 By thee through troops of men I break, and them discomfit all ; And by my God assisting me, I overleap a wall. 30 As for God, perfect is his way; the Lord his word is tried : He is a buckler to all those who do in him confide. 31 Who, but the Lord is God 2 but he who is a rock and stay 2 32°Tis God that girdeth me with strength, and perfect makes my way. 33 He made my feet swift as the hind’s, set me on my high places: [arms 34 Mine hands to war he taught, mine brake bows of steel in pieces. 35 The shield of thy salvation thou didst on me bestow : Thy right hand held me up, and great thy kindness inade me grow. 36 And in my way, my steps thou hast enlarged under me, That I go safely, and my feet are kept from sliding free. 37 Mine en’mies I pursued have, and did them overtake ; Nor did I turn again, till I an end of them did make. 38 I wounded them, they could not rise; they at my feet did fall. 39 Thou girdest me with strength for War : my foes thou brought’st down all. 40 And thou hast giv'n to me the necks of all mine enemies; That I might them destroy and slay, who did against me rise. 41 They cried out, but there was none that would or could them save ; Yea, they did cry unto the Lord, but he no answer gave. 42 Then did I beat them Small as dust before the wind that flies; And I did cast them out like dirt upon the street that lies. 43 Thou mad'st me free from people’s strife, - and heathen’s head to be : A people whom I have not known, shall service do to me. 14 At hearing they shall me obey; to me they shall submit : 45 Strangers for fear shall fade away, who in close places sit. 46 God lives, bless'd be my rock; the God of my health praised be. 47 God doth avenge me, and subdues the people under me. . 48 He saves me from mine enemies; yea, thou hast lifted me Above my foes ; and from the man of vi’lence set Ine free. 49 Therefore to thee will I give thanks the heathen folk among; And to thy name, O Lord, I will sing praises in a song. 50 He great deliv'rance gives his king; he mercy doth extend To David, his amointed one, and his seed without end. PsALM 19. HE heav’ns God’s glory do declare; the skies his hand-work preach. 2 Day utters speech to day, and night to night doth knowledge teach. 3 There is no speech, nor tongue, to which he my deliv’rance wrought. their voice doth not extend ; In them he set the sun a tent, Who. bridegroom-like, forth goes From 's chaniber, as a strong man dotb to run his race rejoice. From heaven’s end is his going forth circling to th’ end again ; And there is nothing from his heat that hidden doth remain. 9 Unspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. 10 They inore than gold, yea, much fine gold, to be desired are : Than honey, honey from the comb that droppeth, sweeter far. 11 Moreover, they thy servant warn how he his life should frame: A great reward provided is for them that keep the same. 12 Who can his errors understand . O cleanse thou me within 13 From secret faults. Thy servant keep from all presumpt’ous sin ; And do not suffer them to have dominion over me: Then, righteous and innocent, I from much sin shall be. 14 The words which from my mouth proceed, the thoughts sent from my heart, Accept, O Lord, for thou my strength and my Redeemer art PsALM 20. Jºy A. hear thee in the day when trouble he doth send ; And let the name of Jacob’s God thee from all ill defend. 2 O let him help send from above, out of his sanctu’ry : From Zion, his own holy hill, let him give strength to thee. 3 Let him remember all thy gifts, accept thy sacrifice : 4. 4 Grant thee thine heart’s wish, and fulfil thy thoughts and counsel wise. 5 In thy salvation we will joy; in our God’s name we will Display our banners: and the Lord thy prayers all fulfil. 6 Now know I, God his king doth save : he from his holy heav'n Will hear him, with the saving strength by his own right hand giv'n. 7 In chariots some put confidence, some horses trust upon : But we remember will the name of our Lord God alone. 8 We rise, and upright stand, when they are bowed down, and fall. 9 Deliver Lord ; and let the king us hear when we do call. PsALM 21. T HE king in thy great strength,0Lord, shall very joyful be : In thy salvation rejoice how veh’mently shall he'. 2 Thou hast bestowed upon him all that his heart would have ; And thou from him didst not withhold whate'er his lips did crave. 3 For thou with blessings him prevent’s of goodness manifold: And thou hast set upon his head a crown of purest gold. 4 When he desired life of thee, thou life to him didst give 3 Ev’n such a length of days, that he for evermore should live. 5 In that salvation wrought by thee his glory is made great : Honour and comely majesty thou hast upon him Set. 6 Because that thou for evermore most blessed hast him made • And thou hast with thy countellance made him exceeding glad. 7 Because the º the Lord his confidence doth lay : And, through the grace of the MoS, High shall not be mov’d away. Nor from him hid his face, but heard when he to him did gry. 25 Within the congregation great my praise shall be of thee: My vows before them that him fear, shall be perform’d by me. The meek shall eat and shall be fill’d ; they also praise shall give Unto the Lord that do him seek ; your hearts shall ever live 26 27 All ends of th’ earth remember shall and turn the Lord unto ; All kindreds of the nations to him shall homage do. Because the kingdom to the Lord doth appertain as his ; Likewise among the nations the Governor he is. 28 3 Let none that wait on thee be put to shame at all : But those that without cause transgress, let shame upon them fall. 4 Show me thy ways, O Lord ; thy paths, O teach thou me : 5 And do thou lead me in thy truth, therein my teacher be : For thou art God, that dost to me salvation send, And I upon thee all the day, expecting do attend. 6 Thy tender mercies, Lord, I pray thee to remember, And loving-kindnesses; for they have been of old for ever. My sins and faults of youth do thou, O Lord, forget; After thy mercy think on me, and for thy goodness great. 7 God good and upright is : the way he’ll sinners show. The meek in judgment he will guide, and Inake his path to know. 10 The whoje paths of the Lord are truth and mercy sure, To those that do his cov’nant keep, and testimonies pure. 11 Now, for thine own name’s sake, O Lord, I thee entreat To pardon mine iniquity : for it is very great. 12 What man is he that fears the Lord and doth him serve 2 Him shall he teach the way that he shall choose, and still observe. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease ; and his posterity Shall flourish still, and of the earth inheritors shall be. 14 With those that fear him, is the secret of the Lord : The knowledge of his covenant he will to them afford. 15 Mine eyes upon the Lord continually are set: For he it is that shall bring forth my feet out of the net. 16 Turn unto me thy face, and to me mercy show : Because that I am desolate, and am brought very low. 17 My heart’s griefs are increas'd : me from distress relieve. 18 See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive. 19 Consider thou my foes, because they many are, And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear. 20 O do thou keep my soul, do thou deliver me: And let me never be asham’d, because I trust in thee. 21 Let uprightness and truth keep me, who thee attend. 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel from all his troubles send. J?nother of the same. To thee I lift my soul, O Lord. 2 My God I trust in thee; I.et me not be asham’d ; let not my foes triumph o'er me. 3 Yea, let thou none ashamed be that do on thee attend : Ashamed let them be, O Lord, who without cause offend. 4 Thy ways, Lord, show ; teach me thy paths. . 5 Lead me in truth, teach me : For of my safety thou art God; all day I wait on thee. 6 Thy mercies, that most tender are, do thou, O Lord, remember, And loving-kindnesses; for they have been of old for ever. 7 Let not the errors of my youth, nor sins remembered be ; In mercy, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord remember ine. The Lord is good and gracious, he upright is also : He therefore sinners will instruct in ways that they should go. | I humbly thee entreat To pardon mine iniquity; for it is very great. 12 What man fears God? him shall he teach the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease ; his seed the earth, as heirs, shall use. l 3 14 The secret of the Lord is with such as do fear his name; And he his holy covenant will manifest to them. Toward the Lord my waiting eyes continually are get; For he it is that shall bring forth my feet out of the net. 5 O turn thee unto me, O God, have mercy me upon ; Because I solitary am, and in afliiction. Enlarg’d the griefs are of mine heart: me from distress relieve. See mine affliction and my pain, and all my sins forgive. 19 Consider thou mine enemies, because they many are, And it a cruel hatred is which they against me bear. O do thou keep my soul ; O God, do thou deliver me ; Let me not be asham’d ; for I do put my trust in thee. 2 0 Above all those that are my foes, and round encompass me: Therefore unto his tabernacle I’ll sacrifices bring - Of joyfulness ; I’ll sing, yea, I to God will praises sing. 7 O Lord, give ear unto my voice, when I do cry to thee; Upon me also mercy have, and do thou answer me. , Seek ye my face, X- then unto thee reply, Thus did my heart, Above all things thy face, Lord, seek will I. 9 Far from me hide not thou thy face ; put not away from thee Thy servant in thy wrath : an helper been to me. O God of my salvation - leave me not, nor forsake : 10 Though me my parents both should leave, the Lord will me uptake. thou hast 11 O Lord, instruct me in thy way, to me a leader be In a plain path, because of those that hatred bear to me. 12 Give me not to mine en’mies’ will ; for witnesses that lie Against me risen are, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13 I fainted had, unless that I believed had to see, The Lord’s own goodness in the land of them that living be. 14 Wait on the Lord, and be thou strong, and he shall strength afford Unto thine heart; yea, do thou wait, I say, upon the Lord. PsALM 28 To thee I’ll cry, O Lord, my rock; hold not thy peace to me; Lest like those that to pit descend I by thy silence be. 2 The voice hear of my humble pray'rs, when unto thee I cry; When to thine holy oracle I lift mine hands on high. 3 With ill men draw me not away, that work iniquity, That speak peace to their friends, while in their hearts doth mischief lie. 4 Give them according to their deeds, and ills endeavoured ; And as their handy-works deserve, to them be rendered. 5 God shall not build but them destroy ; who would not understand The Lord’s own works, nor did regard the doing of his hand. 6 For ever blessed be the Lord, for graciously he heard The voice of my petitions, and prayers did regard. 7 The Lord’s my strength and shield , my heart upon him did rely, And ſ am help'd : hence my heart doth joy exceedingly : And with my song I will him praise Their strength is God alone; He also is the saving strength of his anointed One. 8 8 Thine hand shall all those men find out that en’inies are to thee; Ev’n thy right hand shall find out those of thee that haters be. 9 Like fiery ov’n thou shalt them make, when kindled is thine ire : God shall them swallow in his wrath, devour the in shall the fire. 10 Their fruit from earth thou shalt destroy, their seed men. from among, 11 For they beyond their might, 'gainst thee did plot mischief and wrong. J2 Thou therefore shalt make them turn back, when thou tily shafts shall place Upon thy strings, made ready all to fly against their face. 13 In thy great pow'r and strength, O Lord, be thou exalted high : So shall we sing with joyful hearts, thy power praise shall we. PsALM 22. Y God, my God, why hast thou me forsaken f why so far Art thou from helping me, and from my words that roaring are 2 2 All day, my God, to thee I cry, yet am not heard by thee; And in the season of the night I cannot silent be. 3 But thou art holy, thou that dost inhabit Isr’el’s praise. 4 Our fathers hop’d in thee; they hop’d, and thou didst them release. 5 When unto thee they sent their cry, to them deliv’rance came ; Because they put their trust in thee, they were not put to shame. 6 But as for me, a worm I am, and as no inan am priz’d : Reproach of men I am, and by the people am despis’d. 7 All that me see, laugh me to scorn : shoot out the lip do they ; They nod and shake their heads at me, and mocking thus do say: 8 This man did trust in God that he would free him by his might: Let him deliver him, sith he had in him such deſight. 9 But thou art he out of the womb that didst me safely take ; When I was on my mother’s breasts thou me to hope didst make. 10 And I was cast upon thy care, ev’n from the womb till now ; And from my mother’s belly, Lord, my God and guide art thou. 11 Be not far off, for grief is near, and none to help is found. 12 Bulls many compass me; strong bulls of Bashan me surround. 13 Their mouths they opened wide on D16, upon me gape did they, Like to a lion ravening, and roaring for his prey. 14 Like water I’m pour’d out, my bones all out of joint do part: Amidst my bowels, as the wax, so melted is my heart. 15 My strength is like a potsherd dried, my tongue it cleaveth fast Unto my jaws; and to the dust of death thou brought me hast. 16 For dogs have compass'd me about ; the wicked, that did meet In their assembly, me enclos'd : they pierc’d my hands and feet. 17 I all my bones may tell ; they do upon me look and stare. 18 Upon my vesture lots they cast, and clothes among them share. 19 But be not far, O Lord, my strength; haste to give help to me. 20 From sword my soul, from pow'r of Ogs, my darling set thou free. 31 Out of the roaring ion’s mouth do thou me shield and save ; For from the horns of unicorns an ear to me thou gave. £2 I will show forth thy name unto those that my brethren are ; Amidst the congregation thy praise I will declare. 23 Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear; him glorify, all ye The seed of Jacob ; fear him, all that isrºel’s children be. 94 For he despis’d not, nor abhorr'd th’ afflicted’s misery; PSALMS XXII. XXIII. XXIV. XXV. XXV1. XXVII. XXVIII. XXIX. 29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall : all who to dust descend Shall bow to hin : none of them can his soul from death defend. A seed shall service do to him ; unto the Lord it shall Be for a generation reckon’d in ages all. 31 They shall come, and they shall declare his truth and righteousness, Unto a people yet unborn, and that he hath done this. PsALM 23. THE Lord’s my shepherd, I’ll not want. 2 He makes me down to lie In pastures green : he leadeth me the quiet waters by. 3 My soul he doth restore again ; and Ine to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, ev’n for his own name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear none ill : For thou art with me, and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 5 My table thou hast furnished, in presence of my foes: My head thou dost with oil anoint, and my cup overflows. 6 Goodness and mercy all my life shalſ surely follow me: And in God’s house for evermore my dwelling place shall be. PsALM 24. HE earth belongs unto the Lord, and all that it contains; The world that is inhabited, and all that there remains. 2 For the foundations thereof he on the seas did lay, And he hath it established upon the floods to stay. 3 Who is the man that shall ascend into the hill of God 2 Or who within his holy place shall have a firm abode 2 4 Whose hands are clean, whose heart Is pure, and unto vanity Who hath not fifted up his soul, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He from th’ Eternal shall receive the blessing him upon, And righteousness, ev’n from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation that after him inquire, O Jacob, who do seek thy face with their whole heart’s desire. 7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high; ye doors that last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King of glory enter may. 8 But who of glory is the King? the mighty Lord is this ; Ev’n that same Lord, that great in might and strong in battle is. ...” 9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors, doors that do last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King of glory enter may. 10 But who is he that is the King of glory? who is this f The Lord of hosts, and none but he, the King of glory is. PsALM 25. Tº thee I lift my soul. 2 O Lord, I trust in thee: My God, iet me not be asham’d, nor foes triumph over me. |g The meek and lowly he will guide in judgment just alway: To meek and poor afflicted ones he’ll clearly teach his way. 10 The whole paths of the Lord our God are truth and mercy Sure, To such as keep his covenant and testimonies pure. 11 Now, for thine own name’s sake, O Lord, * 21 O let integrity and truth keep me who thee attend. 22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel, from all his troubles send. PsALM 26. UDGE me, O Lord, for I have walk’d in mine integrity : I trusted also in the Lord ; slide therefore shall not I. 2 Examine me, and do me prove, try heart and reins O God: 3 For thy love is before inine eyes, thy truth’s paths I have trode. 4 With persons vain I have not sat, nor with dissemblers gone. 5 Th’ assembly of ill men I hate; to sit with such I shun. 6 Mine hands in innocence, O Lord, I’ll wash and purify ; So to thine holy altar go, and compass it will I. 7 That I with voice of thanksgiving, may publish and declare, And tell of all thy mighty works, that great and wondrous are. 8 The habitation of thy house, Lord I have loved well ; Yea, in that place I do delight where doth thine honour dwell. 9 With sinners gather not my soul, and such as blood would spill : 10 whº hands mischievous plots, right and corrupting bribes do fill. 11. But as for me, I will walk on in mine integrity. Do thou redeem me, and, O Lord, be merciful to me. 12 My foot upon an even place doth stand with sted fastness: Within the congregations th” Eternal I will bless. PsALM 27. Th; Lord’s my light and saving health ; who shall make me dismay’d 2 My life’s strength is the Lord ; of whom then shall I be afraid : 2 When as mine enemies and foes, most wicked persons all, To eat my flesh against ºne rose, they stumbled and did fall. 3 Against me though an host encamp, my heart yet fearless is: Though war against me rise, I will be confident in this. 4 One thing I of the Lord desir’d, and will seek to obtain, That all days of my life I may within God’s house remain ; That I the beauty of the Lord behold may and admire, And that I in his holy place may rev’rendly inquire. 5 For he in his pavilion shall me hide in evil days; In secret of his tent me hide, and on a rock me raise. 6 And now, ev’n at this present time, mine head shall lifted be |8 When thou didst say 9 O thine own people do thou save, bless thine inheritance : Them also do thou feed, and them for evermore advance. PsALM 29. Gº; ye unto the Lord, ye sons that of the mighty be, All strength and glory to the Lord with cheerfulness give ye. 2 Unto the Lord the glory give that to his name is due ; And in the beauty of holiness" unto JEHOVAH bow. 3 The Lord’s voice on the waters is; the God of majesty Doth thunder, and on multitudes of waters sitteth he. 4. A pow'rful voice it is that comes out from the Lord most high ; The voice of that great Lord is fulſ of glorious majesty. 5 The voice of the Eternal doth asunder cedars tear: Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break that Lebanon doth bear. 6 He makes them like a calf to skip ; ev’n that great Lebanon, And like to a young unicorn, the mountain Sirion, 4 7 God’s voice divides the flames of fire; 8 The desert it doth shake ; The Lord doth make the wilderness of Kadesh all to quake. 9 God’s voice doth make the hinds to calve; it Inakes the forest bare : And in his temple ev’ry one his glory doth declare. 10 The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord sits King, and ever shall. 11 The Lord will gave his people strength, and with peace bless them all. PsALM 30. ORD, I will thee extol, for thou hast lifted me on high, And over me thou to rejoice mad'st not mine enemy. & O thou who art the Lord my God, I in distress to thee With loud cries liſted up my voice, and thou hast healed me. 3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up, and rescued from the grave; That I to pit should not go down, alive thou didst me save. 4 O ye that are his holy ones, sing praise unto the Lord ; And give unto him thanks, when ye his holiness record. 5 For but a mement lasts his wrath ; life in his favour lies; Weeping may for a night endure, at morn doth joy arise. 6 In my prosperity, I said, that nothing shall me move. 7 O Lord, thou hast my mountain made to stamid strong by thy love : But when that thou, O gracious God didst hide thy face from me, Then quickly was my prosp’rous state turn’d into misery. 8 Wherefore unto the Lord my cry I caused to ascend ; My humble supplication I to the Lord did send. 9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to pit 2 Shall unto thee the dust give praise 2 thy truth declare shall it? 10 Hea, Lord, have mercy; help me, Or(l.

For peace they do not speak at all ; but crafty plots prepare Against all those within the and that meek and quiet are. 20 With months set wide, they 'gainst me said, ha, ha! our eye doth see. Lord, thou hast seen, hold not thy peace : Lord, be not far from me. Stir up thyself; wake, that thou may’st judgment to me afford, Ev’n to my cause, O thou that art my only God and Lord. 2 2 23 24 O Lord my God, do thou me judge after thy righteousness; And let them not their joy 'gainst me triumphantly express: Nor let them say within their hearts, Ah, we would have it thus; Nor suffer them to say, that he is swallow’d up by us. 2: 5 26 Sham’d and confounded be they all, that at my hurt are glad ; Let those against me that do boast, with shame and scorn be clad. 27 Let them that love my righteous cause be glad, shout : and not cease To say, The Lord be magnified. who loves his servant’s peace. 28 Thy righteousness shall also be declared by my tongue; The praises that belong to thee, speak shall it all day long. PsALM 36. HE wicked man’s transgression, within my heart thus says, Undoubtedly the fear of God is not before his eyes. 2 Because himself he fiattereth in his own blinded eye, Until the hatefulness be found of his iniquity. 3 Words from his mouth proceeding are fraud and iniquity. He to be wise, and to do good, hath left off utterly. 4 He mischief. Hying on his bed, most cunningly doth plot : He sets himself in ways not good; ill he abhorreth not. 5 Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns; thy truth doth reach the clouds: 6 Thy justice is like mountains great; thy judginents deep as floods; Lord, thou preservest man and heast, How precious is thy grace | Therefore in shadow of thy wings men’s son’s their trust shall place. 7 12 That sing thy praise my glory may, and never silent be. O Lord my God, for evermore I will give thanks to thee. PsALM 31. In thee, O Lord, I put my trust; sham’d let me never be ; According to thy righteousness, do thou deliver me. 2 Bow down thine ear to me send me deliverance : To save me, my strong rock be thou, and my house of defence. , with speed 3 Because thou art my rock, and thee! I for my fortress take ; Therefore do thou me lead and guide, ev’n for thiné own name's sake. 4 And sith thou art my strength, there- fore - pull me out of the net, Which they in subtilty for me so privily have set. 5 Into thine hands I do commit my sp?rit; for thou art he, O thou JEHOVAH, God of truth, that hast redeemed me. 6 Those that do lying vanities regard, I have abhorr'd : But as for me, my confidence is fixed on the Lord. 7 I’ll in thy mercy gladly joy; for thou my miseries Consider'd hast; thou hast my soul known in adversities: 8 And thou hast not enclosed me within the en’my’s hand; And by thee have my feet been made in a large room to stand. 9 O Lord, upon me mercy have, for trouble is on me : Mine eye, my belly, and my soul, with grief consumed be. 10 Because my life with grief is spent, my years with sighs and groans: My strength doth fail ; and for my sin consumed are my bones. Ii I was a scorn to all my foes, and to my friends a fear; 13 For slanders I of many heard ; fear compass'd me, while they Against me did consult, and plot to take my life away. 14 But as for me, O Lord, my trust upon thee I did lay ; And I to thee, Thou art my God, did confidently say. 15 My times are wholly in thine hand; do thou deliver nie From their hands, that mine enemies and persecutors be. 16 Thy countenance to shine do thou upon thy servant make : Unto me give salvation, for thy great mercies' sake. 17 Let me not be asham’d, O Lord, for on thee call’d I have : Let wicked men be sham’d, let them be silent in the grave. 18 To silence put the lying lips that grievous things do say, And hard reports, in pride and scorn, on righteous men do lay. 19 How great’s the goodness thou for them that fear thee keep’st in store; And wrought'st for them that trust in thee the sons of men before : 20 In secret of thy presence, thou shalt hide them from man’s pride; From strife of tongues thou closely shalt, as in a tent, them hide. 21 All praise and thanks be to the Lord ; for he hath magnified His wondrous love to me within a city fortified. 22 For from thine eyes cut off I am, I in my haste had said ; My voice yet heard'st thou, when to thee with cries my moan I made. 23 O love the Lord, all ye his saints; because the Lord doth guard the faithful ; and he plenteously proud doels doth reward. 4 Be of good courage, and he strength unto your hearts shall send, All ye whose hope and confidence doth on the Lord depend. PsALM 32. O BLESSED is the man, to whom is freely pardoned All the transgressions he hath done, whose sin is covered. 2 Bless’d is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not his sin, And in whose sp?rit there is no guile, nor fraud is found therein. 3 When as I did refrain my speech, and silent was my tongue, My bones then waxed old, because I roared all day long. 4 (For upon me both day and night thine hand did heavy lie,) So that my moisture turned is to summer’s drought thereby. 5 I thereupon have unto thee my sin acknowledged, And likewise mine iniquity I have not covered. I will confess unto the Lord my trespasses, said I ; And of my sin thou freely didst forgive th’ iniquity. 6 For this shall ev'ry godly one | his prayer make to thee : In such a time he shall thee seek, as found thou mayest be. Surely, when floods of waters great do swell up to the brim, They shall not overwhelm his soul, Inor Once Colne near to him. 7 Thou art my hiding-place, thou shalt from trouble keep me free : Thou with songs of deliverance, about Shalt compass me. 8 I will instruct thee, and thee teach the way that thou shalt go; And, with mine eye upon thee set, I will direction show. 9 Then be not like the horse or mule, which do not understand; Whose mouth, lest they come near to thee, a bridle must command. 10 Unto the man that wicked is, his sorrows shall abound ; But him that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass round. Il Ye righteous in the Lord be glad, in him do ye rejoice: All ye that upright are in heart, for joy lift up your voice. PsALM 33. VE righteous, in the Lord rejoice: it comely is and right, That upright men, with thankful voice, should praise the Lord of might. 2 Praise God with harp ; and unto him sing with the psaltery; Upon a ten string’d instrument make ye sweet melody. 3. A new song to him sing, and play with iouá noise skilfully : 4 For right is God’s word, all his works are done in verity. 5 To judgment and to righteousness a love he beareth still : The loving-kindness of the Lord the earth throughout doth fill. 6 The heavens by the word of God did their beginning take ; And by the breathing of his mouth, he all their hosts did make. 7 The waters of the seas he brings together as a heap ; And in store-houses, as it were, he layeth up the deep. 8 Let earth, and all that live therein, with rev’rence fear the Lord ; Let all the world’s inhabitants dread him with one accord : 9 For he did speak the word, and done it was without delay ; Established, it firmly stood whatever he did say. 10 God doth the counsel bring to nought which heathem folks do take ; And what the people do devise of none effect dotli make. 11 O ! but the counsel of the Lord doth stand for ever sure ; And of his heart the purposes from age to age endure. 12 That nation blessed is, whose God JEHOVAH is, and those A blessed people are, whom for his heritage he chose. [holds 13 The Lord from heav’n sees and be- all sons of men full well : 14 He views all from his dwelling place, that in the earth do dwell. 15 He forms their hearts alike, and all their doings he observes. 16 Great hosts save not a king, much strength no mighty man preserves. 17 A horse for preservation is a deceitful thing; And, by the greatness of his strength, can no deliv’rance bring. 18 Behold, on those that do him fear the Lord doth set his eye ; Ev’n those who on his mercy do with confidence rely. 19 From death to free their soul, in dearth life unto them to yield. 20 Our soul doth wait upon the Lord ; he is our help and shield. 21 Sith in his holy name we trust, our hearts shall joyful be. 22 Lord, let thy mercy be on us, as we do hope in thee. PsALM 34. OD will I bless all times; his praise my mouth shall still express. 2 My soul shall boast in God : the meek shall hear with joyfulness. 3 Extol the Lord with me ; let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the Lord, he heard and did me from all fears deliver. 5 They look’d to him, and lighten’d Were : not shamed were their faces. 6 This poor man cried, God heard, and Sav’d him from all his distresses. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps, and round encompasseth All those about that do him fear, and them delivereth. 8 O taste and see that God is good : who trusts in him is bless’d. 9 Fear God his Saints: none that him fear shall be with want oppress'd. and they may lack their food : But they that truly seek the Lord, shall not lack any good. 11 O children, hither do ye come, and unto me give ear; I shall you teach to understand how ye the Lord should fear. 12 What man is he that life desires, to see good would live long : 13 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile, and from ill words thy tongue. pursue it earnestly. 15 God’s eyes are on the just ; his ears are open to their cry. 16 The face of God is set against those that do wickedly : That he may quite out from the eartli cut off their memory. 17 The righteous cry unto the Lord, he unto them gives ear; And they out of their troubles all by him deliver'd are. 18 The Lord is ever nigh to them that be of broken sp?rit; To them he safety doth afford that are in heart contrite. 19 The troubles that afflict the just, in number many be ; But yet at length out of them all, the Lord doth set him free. 20 He carefully his bones doth keep, whatever can befall ; That not so much as one of them can broken be at all. 21 Ill shall the wicked slay : laid waste shall be who hate the just. 22 The Lord redeems his servants’ souls; none perish that him trust. PsALM 35. PLEAB; Lord, with those that plead; and fight with those that fight with me. 2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold, stand up mine help to be. 3 Draw also out the spear, and do against them stop the way That me pursue : unto my soul, I’m thy salvation, say. 4 Let them confounded be, and sham’d, that for my soul have sought ; Who plot my hurt, turn’d back be they, and to confusion brought. 5 Let them be like unto the chaff that flies before the wind ; And let the angel of the Lord pursue them hard behind. 6. With darkness cover thou their way, and jet it slip’ry prove ; And let the angel of the Lord pursue them from above. 7 For without cause have they for me their net hid in a pit; They also have without a cause for my soul digged it. 8 Let ruin seizo him unawares: his net he hid withal Himself let catch ; and in the same destruction let him fall. 9 My soul in God shall joy ; and glad in his salvation be : 10 And all my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like unto three ? Which dost the poor set free from him. that is for him too strong, The poor and needy from the man that spoils and does him wrong. 11 False witnesses rose ; to my charge things I not knew they laid. 12 They, to the spoiling of my soul, me ill for good repaid. 13 But as for me, when they were sick, in sackcloth sad ſ mourn’d ; My humbled soul did fast; my pray’r into my bosom turn’d. 14 Myself I did behave as he had been my friend or brother; I heavily bow’d down, as one that mourneth for his mother. 15 But in my trouble they rejoic’d, gath’ring themselves together Yea, abjects vile together did themselves against me gather; I knew it not ; they did me tear, and quiet would not be. 16 With mocking hypocrites, at feasts they gnash’d their teeth at me. 17 How long, Lord, look'st thou on 2 from those destruction they intend Rescue my soul, from lions young my darling do defend. 8 They with the fatness of thy house shall be well satisfied ; From rivers of thy pleasures thou wilt drink to them provide. 9 Because of life the fountain pure remains alone with thee ; And in that purest light of thine we clearly light shall see. 10 Thy loving-kindness unto them continue that thee know : And still on men upright in heart thy righteousness bestow. II Let not the foot of cruel pride come, and against me stand ; And let ºne not removed be, Lord, by the wicked’s hand. 12 There fall’n are they, and ruined, that work iniquities: Cast down they are, and never shall be able to arise. PsALM 37 OR evil-doers fret thou not thyself unquietly ; Nor do thon envy bear to those that work iniquity. 2 For, even like unto the grass, soon be cut down s'all they 5 And, like the greer and tender herb, they wither sh'.11 away. 3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord, and be thou doing good : And so thou in the land shalt dwell, and verily have food. g 4 Delight thyself in God, he’ll give thine heart’s desire to thee 5 Thy way to God commit, him trust, it bring to pass shall he . 6 And, like unto the light, he shall thy righteousness display; And he thy judginent shall bring forth like noontide of the day. 7 Rest in the Lord, arid patiently wait for him : do not fret For him, who, prosp?ring in his way, success in sin doth get. 8 Do thou from anger cease, and wrath see thou forsake also : Fret not thyself in any wise, that evil thou should'st do. 9 For those that evil-doers are shall be cut off and fall ; But those that wait upon the Lord the earth inherit shall. 10 For yet a little while, and then the wicked shall not be ; His place thou shalt consider well, but it thou shalt not see. il But by inheritance, the earth, the neek ones shall possess; They also shall delight themselves in an abundant peace. 12 The wicked plots against the just, and at him whets his teeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him, because his day he coming seeth. 14 The wicked have drawn sword, and bent their bow, to slay The poor and needy, and to kill Imen of an upright Way. out the 15 But their own sword which they have drawn. shall enter their own heart; Their bows which they have bent shall break, and into pieces part. 16 A little that a just nuan hath is more, and better far, Than is the wealth of inany such as lewd and wicked are. 17 For sinners' arms shall broken be ; but God the just sustains. 18 God knows the just iman’s days, and still their heritage remains. 19 They shall not be asham’d, when they the evil time do see ; And when the days of famine are, they satisfied slıall be. 20 But wicked men and foes of God, as fat of lambs decay; They shall consume, yea, into Smoke they shall consume away. 21 The wicked borrows, but the same again he doth not pay ; Whereas the righteous mercy shows, and gives his own away. For suoºl as blessed be of him the earth inherit shall ; And they that cursed are of him shall be destroyed all. . A good man’s footsteps by the Lord * are ordered aright ; And in the way wherein he walks he greatly doth delight. Although he fall yet shall he not be cast down utterly ; Because the Lord with his own hand upholds him mightily. I have been young, and now am old ; yet have I never seen The just inan left, nor that his seed for bread have beggars been. 26 He’s ever merciful, and lends: his seed is bless’d therefore. 7 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for everinore 28 For God loves judgment, and his saints leaves not in any case ; They are kept ever; but cut off shall be the sinner’s race. 2 PSALMS XXXVIII.

PsALM 38. HN thy great indignation, O Lord relyuke me not ; Nor on me lay thy chast’ning hand in thy displeasure hot. 2 For in me fast thine arrows stick, thine hand doth press me sore : 3 And in Iny flesh there is no health, nor soundness any more. This grief I have, because thy wratli is forth against me gone ; And in my bones there is no rest for sin that I have done. 4 Because gone up above mine head my great transgressions be ; And as a weighty burden, they too heavy are for me. 5 My wounds do stink, and are corrupt; iny folly makes it so. 6 I troubled am, and much bow’d down ; all day I in ourning go. 7 For a disease that loathsome is so fills my loins with pain, That in my weak and weary flesh no soundness doth remain. 8 So feeble and infirm am I. and broken am so sore ; That, through disquiet of my heart, I have been made to roar. 9 O Lord all that I do desire is still before thine eye; And of Iny heart the secret groans not hidden are from thee. 10 My heart doth pant incessantly, my strength doth quite decay: As for mine eyes, their wonted light is from me gone away. 11 My lovers and my friends do stand at distance from my sore ; And those do stand aloof that were kinsmen and kind before. 12 Yea, they that seek my life lay snares; who seek to do me wrong Speak things mischievous, and deceits imagine all day long. 13 But, as one deaf, that heareth not, I suffer'd all to pass; As a dumb man did become, whose inouth not open’d was. 14 As one that hears not, in whose mouth are no reproofs at all : 15 For, Lord, I hope in thee; my God, thou’lt hear me when I call. 16 For, I said, Hear me, lest they should rejoice o'er me with pride : And o'er me magnify themselves, When as my foot doth slide. 17 For I am near to halt, my grief is still before mine eye : 18 For I’ll declare my sin, and grieve for mine iniquity. 19 But yet mine en’mies lively are, and strong are they beside ; And they that hate me wrongfully are greatly multiplied. 20 And they for good that render ill, as en’Inies me withstood ; Yea, ev’n for this, because that l do follow what is good. 30 The just iman’s mouth doth wisdom;21 Forsake me not, O Lord ; my God, speak; his tongue doth judgment tell. 31 In’s heart the law is of his God, his steps slide not away. 32 The wicked man doth watch the just, and seeketh him to slay. 33 Yet him the Lord will not forsake, nor leave him in his hands; The righteous will he not condemn, When he in judgment stands. 34 Wait on the Lord and keep his way, and tilee exalt shall he Th’ earth to inherit; when cut off the Wicked thou shalt see far from me never be. 22 O Lord, thou my salvation art, haste to give help to me. PsALM 39. H SAID, I will look to my ways, lest with my tongue ſ sin ; In sight of wicked men my mouth with bridle [*11 keep in. 2 With silence I as dumb became ; I did myself restrain From Speaking good ; but then the IſlC) ré increased was my pain 3 My heart within me waxed hot; and while I musing was, The fire did burn ; and from my tongue these words I did let pass: 4 Mine end, and measure of my days, O Lord unto me show, What is the same ; that I thereby my frailty well may know. 5 Lo, thou my days an hand-breadth mad'st ; mine age is in thine eye As nothing: sure each man at best is wholly vanity. 6 Sure each man walks in a vain show, they vex theniselves in vain ; He heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain. 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for 2 my hope is fix’d on thee. 8 Free me from all my trespasses; the fool’s scorn make not me. 9 Dumb was I, op'ning not my mouth, because this work was thine. 10 Thy stroke take from me ; by the blow of thine hand I do pine. 11 When with rebukes thou dost correct man for iniquity, Thou wast’st his beauty like a moth : sure each man’s vanity. 12 Attend my cries, Lord, to my tears, and pray’rs not sileñt be : I sojourn as my fathers all, and stranger am with thee. 13 O spare thou me, that I my strength recover may again, Before from hence I do depart, and here no Inore reinain. PsALM 40. WAITED for the Lord my God, and patiently did bear ; At length to ime he did incline my voice and cry to hear. 2 He took me from a fearful pit, and from the miry clay, And on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, our God to magnify : Many shall see it, and shall fear, and on the Lord rely. 4 O blessed is the man whose trust upon the Lord relies ; Respecting not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 O Lord my God full many are the wonders thou hast done ; Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far above all thoughts are gone : In order none can reckon them to thee; if them declare, And speak of them I would, they more than can be number?d are. 6 No sacrifice, nor offering, didst thou at all desire ; Mine ears thou bor’d ; sin-off’ring thou and burnt didst not require. 7 Then to the Lord these were my words, I come ; behold and see, Within the volume of thy book it written is of me • 8 To do thy will I take delight, O thou my God that art; Yea, that most holy law of thine I have within my heart. 9 Within the congregation great I righteousness did preach : Lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I refrained not my speech. 10 I never did within my heart conceal thy righteousness: I thy salvation have declar’d, and shown thy faithfulness: Thy kindness, which most loving is, concealed have not I, Nor from the congregation great have hid thy verity. 11 Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me, O do thou not restrain : Thy Ioving-kindness and thy truth, let thern me still maintain. 12 For iſ is past reck’ning compass me, and mine iniquities Such hold upon me taken have, I cannot lift mine eyes. They more than hairs are on my head, thence is my heart dismay’d. 13 Be pleased, Lord, to rescue me : Lord, hasten to mine aid. 14 Sham’d and confounded be they all that seek my soul to kill ; Yea, let them backward driven be, and sham’d, ** me ill. 17 I’m poor and needy, yet the Lord of me a care doth take : Thou art my help and Saviour, my God no tarrying make. PsALM 41. LESSED is he that wisely doth the poor man’s case consider; For when the time of trouble is, the Lord will him deliver. 2 God will him keep, yea, save alive : on earth he bless'd shall live ; And to his enemies desire thou wilt him not up give 3 God will give strength, when he on bec * of languishing doth mourn; And in his sickness sore, O Lord, thou all his bed wilt turn. 4 I said, O Lord, do thou extend thy mercy unto me ; O do thou heal my soul; for why? I have offended thee. 5 Those that to me are enemies of me do evil say ; When shall he die, that so his maine may perish quite away 2 To see me if he comes, he speaks vain words ; but then his heart Heaps mischief to it which he tells, When forth he doth depart. 7 My haters, jointly whispering, 'gainst me may hurt devise. 8 Mischief, say they, cleaves fast to him ; he lieth, and shall not rise. 9 Yea, ev’n mine own familiar friend, on whom I did rely, Who ate my bread, ev’n he his hecl against me lifted high. 10 But, Lord, be merciful to me, and up again me raise, That I may justly thern requite according to their ways. Il By this I know that certainly ſ favour’d am by thee, Because my hateful enemy triumphs not over me. 12 But as for me, thou me uphold'st in mine integrity; And me before thy countenance thou sett’st continually. 13 The Lord, the God of Israel, be bless'd for ever then, From age to age eternally. Amen, yea, and aimen. PsALM 42. IKE as the hart for water-brooks, in thirst doth pant and bray; So pants my longing soul, O God, that come to thee ſ may. 2 My soul for God, the living God, doth thirst : when shall I near Unto thy countenance approach, and in God’s sight appear 2 3 My tears have unto me been meat' both in the night and day, While unto me continually, Where is thy God 3 they say. 4 My soul is poured out in me, when this I think upon ; Because that with the multitude I heretofore had gone : With them into God’s house I went, with voice of joy and praise ; Yea, with the multitude that kept the solemn holy days. 5 O why art thou cast down, my soul ? why in ºne so dismay’d 2 Trust God, for I shall praise him yet; his count’nance is mine aid. 6 My God, my soul’s cast down in me: thee therefore mind ſ will From Jordan’s land, the Hermonites, and ev’n from Mizar hill. 7 At the noise of thy water-spouts deep unto deep doth call ; Thy breaking waves pass over me, yea, and thy billows all. 8 His loving-kindness yet thre Lord command will in the day; by whom I live, I’ll pray. 9 And I will say to God, my rock, Why me forgett’st thou so * Why, for my foes’ oppression, thus mourning do I go. 3 His song’s with me by night; to God, 10 'Tis as a sword within my bones, when my foes me upbraid ; Ev’n when by them, Where is thy God : 'tis daily to me said. ll O why art thou cast down my soul ? why thus with grief opprest, Art thou disquieted in 1me 3 in God still hope and rest: For yet I know I shall him praise, who graciously to me - The health is of my countenance : yea, injne own God is he PsALM 43.

Still trust in God; for him to praise good cause I yet sh;all have ; He of my count'nance is the health, my God that doth me save. PsALM 44. GOD, we with our ears have heard. our father’s have us told, What works thou in their days had'st done, - ev’n in the days of old. 2 Thy hand did drive the heathen out, and plant them in their place ; Thou didst afflict the nations, but them thou didst increase. 3 For neither got their sword the land, nor did their arm them save ; But thy right hand, arm, countenance; for thou them favour gave. * * 4 Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord, deliv?rances command. 5 Through thee we shałł push down our foes that do against us stand : # We, through thy name shall tread down those that ris’n against us Have. 6 For in my bow I shall not trust nor shall my sword me save. 7 But from our foes thou hast us sav’d, our haters put to shame. 8 In God we all the day do boast, and ever praise thy name. 9 But now we are cast off by thee, and us thou putt'st to shame; And when our armies do go forth, thou go?st not with the same. 10 Thou mak’st us from the enemy, faint-hearted, to turn back; And they who hate us, for themselves our spoils away do take. 11 Like sheep for meat thou gav’st us; 'mong heathen cast we be. 12 Thou didst for nought thy people sell, their price enrich’d not thee. 13 Thou triak’st its a reproach to be - unto our neighbours near ; Derision and a scorn to them that round about us are 14 A by-word also thou dost us among the heathen make ; The people in contempt and spite at us their heads do shake. 15 Defore me my confusion. continually abides; And of my bashful countenance the Shanne me ever hides 16 For voice of him that doth reproach, and speaketh blasphemy ; - By reason of th’ avenging foe, and cruel enemy. 17 All this is come on us, yet we have not forgotten thee; Nor falsely in thy covenant behaved ourselves have we 18 Back from thy way our heart not turn’d : 2 & our steps no straying made , 6 19 Though us thou break'st in dragon’s place, and cover’dst with death’s shade. 20 If we God’s name forgot, or stretch'd to a strange God our hands : 21 Shall not God search this out 2 for he heart’s secrets understands. 22 Yea, for thy sake we’re kill’d all day, counted as slaughter’d sheep, 23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off; awake, why dost thou sleep? 24 O wherefore, hidest thou thy face 3 forgett'st our case distress'd, 25 And our oppression ? for our soul is to the dust down press'd : Our belly also on the earth fast cleaving, hold doth take. 26 Rise, for our help, and us redeem, ev’n for thy mercy’s sake.

Thou lov’st right and hat’st ill; for God, thy God, most high, Above thy fellows hath with th' oil of joy anointed thee. 7 8 Of myrrh and spices sweet a smell thy garments had, Out of the ivºry palaces whereby they made thee glad.

He to the heavens from above, and to the earth below Shall call, that he his judgments may before his people show. 4 5 Let all my saints together be unto me gathered : Those that by sacrifice with me a covenant have made. And then the heavens shall declare his righteousness abroad; Because the Lord himself doth come; none else is judge but God. 6 7 Hear, O my people, and I’ll speak; O Israel by name, Against thee I will testify ; God, even thy God, I am. I, for thy sacrifices few, reprove thee never will, Nor for burnt-off’rings, to have beep before me offer'd still. 9 I’ll take no bullock nor he-goats, from house nor fold of thine : 10 For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11 The fowls are all to me well known, that mountains high do yield : And I do challenge as Irine own the wild beasts of the field. If I were hungry I would not to thee for need complain ; For earth, and all its fullness, doth to me of right pertain. That I, to eat the flesh of bulls, take pleasure dost thou think? Or that I need, to quench my thirst the blood of goats to drink 13 Nay, rather unto me, thy God, thanksgiving offer thou : To the most High perform and fully pay thy vow.

Hº this, all people, and give ear, all in the world that dwell ; 2 Both low and high, both rich and poor. 3 My mouth shall wisdom tell ; My heart shall knowledge meditate : 4 I will incline inine ear To parables; and on the harp my sayings dark declare. 5 Amidst those days that evil be, why should I, fearing, doubt; When of my heels th’ iniquity shall compass me about 3 6 Whoe'er they be that in their wealth their confidence do pitch, And boast themselves, because they are become exceeding rich : 7 Yet none of these his brother can redeem by any way ; Nor can he unto God for him sufficient ransom pay : 8 (Their soul’s redemption precious is, and it can never be ;) 9 That still he should for ever live, and not corruption see. 10 For why he seeth that wise men die, and brutish fools also Do perish ; and their wealth, when dead, to others they let go. 11 Their inward thought is, that their house and dwelling-places shall Stand through all ages: they their lands by their own names do call. 12 But yet in honour shall not man abide continually ; But passing hence, may be compar’d unto the beasts that die. 13 Thus, brutish folly plainly is their wisdom and their way; Yet their posterity approve what they do fondly say. #14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid, and death shall then devour; And in the morning upright men shall over them have pow'r : Their beauty from their dwelling shall consume within the grave. 15 But from hell’s hand God will me ree, for he shall me receive. 16 Be thou not then afraid, when one enriched thou dost see, Nor when the glory of his house advanced is on high : 17 For he shall carry nothing hence, when death his days doth end ; Nor shall his glory after him into the grave descend. 18 Although he his own soul did bless, whilst he on earth did live, - (And when thou to thyself do?st well, men will thee praises give.) 19 He to his father’s race shall go; they never shall see light. 20 Man honour’d, wanting knowledge, is like beasts that perish quite.

Th; mighty God, the Lord hath spoken, and did call The earth, from rising of the sun, to where he hath his fall. 2 From out of Sion hill, which of excellency And beauty the perfection is, God shined gloriously. 3 Our God shall surely come, keep silence shall not he . Before him fire shall waste, great SiOTInS shall round about him be. 4. Unto the heavens clear he from above shall call, And to the earth likewise, that he may judge his people all : 5 Together let my saints unto me gather’d be ; Those that by sacrifice have made a covenant with me. 6 And then the heavens shall his righteousness declare : Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are. 7 My people Isr’el hear, speak will I from on high, Against thee I will testify ; God, even thy God, am f. 8 I, for thy sacrifice, no blame will on thee lay, Nor for burnt off?rings, which to me thou offer’dst every day. 9 I’ll take no calf nor goats from house or fold of thine : 10 For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills, are mine. 11 The fowls on mountains high, are all to me well known ; Wild beasts which in the fields do lie ev’n they are all mine own. 12 Then, if I hungry were, I would not tell it thee; Because the world and fullness all thereof, belongs to me. 13 Will I eat flesh of bulls 2 or goats’ blood drink will I? 14 Thanks offer thou to God, and pay thy vows to the most high. 15 And call upon me, when in trouble thou shalt be ; I will deliver thee, and thou my name shalt glorify. 16 But to the wicked man God saith, My laws and truth Should'st thou declare f how dar’st thou take my cov’nant in thy mouth : 17 Sith thou instruction hat’st, which shºuld thy ways direct ; When thou a thief didst see, then straight • * . . * thou join’dst with him in sin, And with the vile adulterers thou hast partaker been. Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, thy tongue deceit doth fraínº. Thoi, jūst, and gainst thy brother l 9 speak’st y thy mother's son to shame PSALMS L1. LII. 21 These things thou wickedly hast!5 So God shall thee destroy for ay, done, and I have silent been ; .. Thou thought'st that I was like thy- self and did approve thy sin : But I will sharply thee reprove, and I will order right Thy sins and thy transgressions in presence of thy sight. 22 Consider this, and be afraid, ye that forget the Lord, Lest I in pieces tear you all, when mone can help afford. 23 Who off"reth praise mic glorifies: I will show God’s salvation To him that ordereth aright his life and conversation. PsA1,M 51. FTER thy loving-kindness, Lord, have linercy upon ine; For thy compassion’s great, blot out all mine iniquity. 2 Me cleanse from sin, and th’roughly wash from inine iniquity. 3 For my transgressions I confess; my sin I ever see. 4 'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn’d, in thy sight done this ill ; That when thou speak'st thou may’st be just, and clear in judging still. 5 Behold, I in iniquity was form'd the womb within ; My mother also me conceiv'd in guiltiness and sin. 6 Behold, thou in the inward parts, with truth deſighted art ; And wisdom thou shalt make nie know within the hidden part. 7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, I shall be cleansed so ; Yea wash thou ine, and then I shall be whiter than the snow. 8 Of gladness and of joyfulness 6 The righteous shall it see, and fear, and laugh at him they shall : 7 Lo, this the man is, that did not make God his strength at all : But he in his abundant wealth his confidence did place ; And he took strength unto himself from his own wickedness. 8 But I am in the house of God like to an olive green : My confidence for ever Fath upon God’s mercy been. 9 And 1 for ever will thee praise, because thou hast done this I on thy name wiſſ wait; for good before thy saints it is. HAT there is not a God, the fool doth in his heart conclude: They are corrupt, their works are vile, not one of them doth good. 2 The Lord upon the sons of men from leav’n did cast his eyes, To see if any one there was that sought God, and was Wise. 3 They altogether filthy are, they all are backward gone ; And there is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one. 4 These workers of iniquity, do they not know at all, That they my people eat as bread, and on God do not call 5 Ev’n there they were afraid, and stood with trembling all dismay’d, Whereas there was no cause at all why they should be afraid : For God his bones that thee besieg’d hath scatter’d all abroad ; Thou hast confounded them, for they despised are of God. 6 Let Isr’el’s help from Sion come ! when back the Lord shall bring His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing. 10 They day and night upon the walls do go about it round : There mischief is, and sorrow there in midst of it is found. Abundant wickedness there is within her inward part; And from her streets deceitfulness and guile do not depart. He was no foe that me reproach'd; then that endure I could : Nor hater that did 'gainst me boast; from him me hide I would : But thou, man, who mime equal, guide, and mine acquaintance wast. We join’d sweet counsel, to God’s house, - in company we past. 1. 4 15 Let death upon them seize, and down let them go quick to hell : For wickedness doth much abound among them where they dwell. I’ll call on God : God will ne save. I’ll pray, and make a noise At ev’ning, morning, and at noon ; and he shall hear iny voice. 16 17 1 8 He hath my soul delivered, that it in peace might be From battle that against me was : for many were with Ine. The Lord shall hear, and them afflict, of old who hath abode. Because they never changes have, therefore they fear not God. I 9 2 21 22 Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain ; Yea, he shall cause the righteous man uninoved to remain.

Do thou extend ; because my soul doth put her trust in thee : Yea, in the shadow of thy wings my refuge ſ will place, Until these sad calamities do Wholly overpass. 2 My cry I will cause to ascend unto the Lord most high ; To God, who doth ah things for me perform most perfectly. From heav’n he sſiałł send down, and In C. from his reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth and mercy forth shall send. 3 4 My soul among fierce lions is ; I firebrands live among; Men’s sons, whose teeth are spears and darts, a sharp sword is their tongue. Be thou exalted very high above the heav’ns, O God; Let thou thy glory be advanc’d O'er all the earth abroad. 6 My soul’s bow’d down ; for they a met have laid my steps to snare : Into the pit which they have digg'd for me they fallen are. My heart is fix’d, my heart is fix’d, O God : I’ll sing, and praise. My glory, wake : wake psalt’ry, harp; myself I’ll early raise. 7 9 I’ll praise thce 'mong the people, Lord; 'mong nations sing will I : 10 For great to heav'n thy mercy is, thy truth is to the sky. 11 O Lord, exalted be thy name above the heav’ns to stand ; Do thou thy glory far advance above both sea and land. PsALM 58. D% ye, O congregation, indeed speak righteousness 2 O ye that are the sons of men, judge ye with uprightness 2 2 Yea, ev’n within your very hearts ye wickedness have done ; And ye the vi’lence of your hands do weigh the earth upon. 3 The wicked men estranged are, ev’n from the very womb : They, speaking lics, do stray as soon a8 to the world they come. Unto a scrpent’s poison like their poison doth appear; Yea, they are like the adder deaf, that closely stops her ear; That so she may not hear the voice of one that charm her would, No, not though he most cunning were, and charin most wisely could. Their teeth, O God, within their mouth, break thou in pieces small ; The great teeth break thou out, O Lord, of those young lions all. 5 6 7 Let them like waters melt away, which downward still do flow : In pieces cut his arrows all, when he shall bend his bow. 8 Like to a snail that melts away, let each of them be gone; Like women’s birth untimely, that they never see the Sun. 7 4 They run, and without fault in me, themselves do ready make : Awake to meet me with thy help, and do thoti notice take. 5 Awake therefore, Lord God of hosts, thou God of Israeſ, To visit heat fien all ; spare none that wickedly rebel. At evening they go to and fro; they make great noise and sound, Like to a dog, and often walk about the city round. 6 Behold, they helch out with their mouth, - and in their lips are swords: For they do say thus, Who is he that now doth hear our words 2 But thou, O ford shaſt laugh at them, and all the feathen mock. 9 While he’s in pow'r I’ll wait on thee; for God is my high rock. 8 10 He of Iny mercy that is God betimes shall me prevent: Upon mine en’mies God shalf let Ine see mine heart’s content. 11. Them slay not, lest my folk forget, but scatter them abroad By thy strong pow'r ; and bring theni down, O thou our shield and God. 12 For their month’s sin, and for the words that from their lips do fly, Let then be taken in their pride; because they curse and Jie. 13 In wrath consume them, them con- stime, that so they may not be ; And that in Jacob God doth rule to th’ earth’s ends, ſet then see. 14 At ev’ning let thou them return making great noise and soun Like to a dog, and often walk about the city round. 15 And let them wander up and down in seeking food to eat ; And let them grudge when they shall 3. inake me to hear the voice ; That so these very bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 All mine iniquities blot out, thy face hide from Iny sin. 10 Create a clean heart, Lord ; renew a right spirit me within. 11 Cast me not from thy sight; nor take thy holy Sp’rit away. 12 Restore me thy salvation’s joy; with thy free Sp’rit me stay. 13 Then will I teach thy ways unto those that transgressors be ; And those that sinners are, shall then be turned unto thee. 14 O God, of my salvation God, me from blood-guiltiness Set free ; then shall iny tongue aloud sing of thy righteousness. 15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee let them be opened ; Then shall thy praises by my mouth abroad be published. 16 For thou desir'st not sacrifice, else would I give it thee; Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering at all delighted be. 17 A broken spirit is to God a pleasing sacrifice: A broken and a contrite heart, Lord, thou wilt not despise. 18 Show kindness, and do good, O Lord, to Sion, thine own hill ; The walls of thy Jerusalem build up of thy good will. ig Then righteous off?rings shall thee please, and off?rings burnt, which they, With whole burnt-off’rings, and with calves, shall on thine altar lay. Ps ALM 52. W HY dost thou boast, O mighty man, of mischief and of ill 2 The goodness of Almighty God endureth ever still. 2 Thy tongue mischievous calumnies deviseth subtilely; Like to a razor sharp to cut, working deceitfully. 3 Ill more than good, and more than truth, thou lovest to speak Wrong: 4 Thou lovest all-devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. remove thee, pluck thee out Quite from thy house, out of the land of life he shall tilee root. PsALM 53. PsALM 54. AVE me, O God, by thy great mame, and judge me by thy strength. 2 My prayer hear, O God ; give ear unto my words at length. 3 For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise ; Oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes. 4 The Lord my God my helper is, lo, therefore I am bold : He taketh part with every one that doth my soul uphold. 5 Unto mine enemies he shall mischief and ill repay; O for thy truth’s sake cut them off, and sweep them clean away. 6 I will a sacrifice to thee give with free willingness: Thy name, O Lord, because ’tis good, with praise I will confess. 7 For he hath me delivered from all adversities; And his desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies. PsAI.M 55. Loº. hear my pray’r, hide not thyself from my entreating voice. 2 Attend and hear me ; in my plaint I mourn and make a noise ; 3 Because of th’ en’my’s voice, and ſor lewd men’s oppression great : On me they cast iniquity, and they in wrath me hate. 4 Sore pain’d within me is my heart, death’s terrors on me fall ; 5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread o’erwhelmed me withal. 6 O that I, like a dove, had wings, said I, then would I flee Far hence, that I might find a place where I in rest might be. 7 Lo, then far off I wander would, and in the desert stay ; 8 From windy storm and tempest I would haste to 'scape away. 9 O Lord, on them destruction bring, and do their tongues divide ; For in the city violence and strife I have espied. 0 'Gainst those that were at peace with him. he hath put forth his hand : The covenant that he had made, by breaking he profan’d. More smooth than butter were his words, while in his heart was war; His speeches were more soft than oil, and yet drawn swords they were. The bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days; But upon thee with confidence I will depend always. PsALM 56. Sº mercy, Lord, to me, for man would swallow me outright: He me oppresseth, while he doth against me daily fight. 2 They daily would Ine swallow up that hate me spitefully : For they be many that do fight against me, O most high. 3 When I’m afraid, I’ll trust in thee. 4 [n God I’ll praise his word : I will not fear what flesh can do, my trust is in the Lord. 5 Each day they wrest Iny words; their thoughts 'gainst me are all for ill. 6 They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps, waiting my soul to kill. 7 But shall they by iniquity escape thy judgment so : O God, with indignation down do thou the people throw. 8 My wand'rings all what they have been thou know’st, their number took ; Into thy bottle put my tears: are they not in thy book 2 9 My foes shall when I cry turn back; I know’t, God is for me. 10 In God his word I’ll praise ; his word in God shall praised be. 11 In God I trust; I will not fear what iman can do to Ine. 12 Thy vows upon me are, O God : I’ll render praise to thee. 13 Wilt thou not, who from death me sav’d, my feet from falls keep free, To walk before God in the light of those that living be 2 PsALM 57. E merciful to me, O God, B thy mercy unto me, 9 He shall them take away before your pots the thorns can find, Both living, and in fury great, as with a stormy wind, seeth he shall be joyful then: The righteous one shall wash his feet in blood of wicked men. reward shall never miss; And verily upon the earth a God to judge there is. PsALM 59. Y God, deliver nie from those that are mine enemies; And do thou me defend from those that up against me rise. 2 Do thou deliver me ſrom them that work iniquity; And give me safety from the men of bloody cruelty. 3 For, lo, they for my soul lay wait: the mighty do combine Against me, Lord ; not for my fault, nor any sin. of mine 10 The righteous when he vengeanceſ 11 So men shall say, The righteous man], Il Ot. be satisfied with meat. 16 But of thy pow'r f’ll sing aloud ; at morn thy mercy praise ; For thou to me my refuge wast, and tow’r, in troublous days. 17 O God, thou art my strength, I will sing praises unto thee; For God is my defence, a God. of mercy unto me. PsALM 60. O) LORD, thou hast rejected us, and scatter'd us abroad ; Thou justly hast displeased been: return to us, O God. 2 The earth to tremble thou hast made therein didst breaches make : Do thou thereof the breaches heal, because the land doth shake. 3 Unto thy people thou hard things hast show’d, and on them sent; And thou hast caused us to drink wine of astonishment. 4 And yet a banner thou hast giv'n, to them who thee do fear, That it by them, because of truń. displayed may appeal. - | That thy beloved people may deliver'd be from thrall, Save with the pow'r of thy right hand and hear ine when I call. 6 God in his holiness hath spoke, herein ſ will take pleasure ; Shechem I will divide, and forth will Succoth's valley measure 7 Gilead I claim as mine by right; Manasseh mine shall be ; Ephraim is of mine head the strengtm; Judah gives laws for me ; 8 Moab’s my washing pot; my shoe I’ll over Edom throw ; And over Palestina’s land. I will in triumph go. 9 O who is he will bring me to the city fortified ; O who is he that to the land: of Edom will me guide 2. 10 O God, which hadest us cast off, - this thing wilt thou not do 2 Ev’n thou, O God, which didest not forth without armies go. Il Help us from trouble; for the help - is vain which man supplies 12 Through God we’ll do great acts; he shall tread down our enemies. 6 When I do thee upon my bed remember with delight, And when on thee I meditate, in watches of the night. 7 In shadow of thy wings I’ll joy for thou mine help hast been. 8 My soul thee follows hard ; and me thy right hand doth sustain. 9 Who seek my soul to spill shall sink down to earth’s lowest room, 10 They by thy sword shall be cut off, and foxes” prey become. 11 Yet shall the king in God rejoice; and each one glory shall That swear by him : Irut stopp’d shall he the mouth of liars all. PsALM 64. WHEN I to thee my prayer make, Lord to my voice give ear; My life save from the enemy of whom I stand in fear. 2 Me from their secret counsel hide who do live wickedly : From insurrection of those men that work iniquity: Who do their tongues with malice whet, and make them cut like swords; In whose bent bows are arrows set, ev’n sharp and bitter words: That they may at the perfect man in secret aim their shot ; Yea, suddenly they dare at him to shoot, and fear it not. 4 In ill encourage they themselves; and their shares close do lay : Together conference they have ; Who shall them see : they say; They have search’d out iniquities, a perfect search they keep : Of each of them the inward thought, and very heart is deep. 5 6 7 God shall an arrow shoot at them, and wound them suddenly : So their own tongue shall them con- found ; all who them see shall fly. And on all men a fear shall fall, God’s word they shall declare : For they shall wisely notice take what these his doings are. 8 9 8 PsALM 61. O GOD, give ear unto my cry; into my pray’r attend. 2 From the utmost corner of the land my cry to thee I’ll send. What time my heart is overwhelm’d, and in perplexity, Do thou me lead unto the Rock that higher is than I. 3 For thou hast for my refuge been a shelter by thy pow'r ; And for defence against my foes thou hast been a strong tow’r. 4 Within thy tabernacle I for ever will abide ; And under covert of thy wings with conſidence me hide. 5 For thou the vows that I did make, O Lord my God, didst hear: Thou hast giv'n me the heritage of those thy name that fear. 6 A life prolong’d for many days thou to the king shalt give ; Like many generations be the years which he shall live. ; He in God’s presence his abode for evermore shall have : O do thout truth and mercy both prepare that may him save. 8 And so wiłł I perpetually sing praise unto thy name ; That having made my vows I may each day perform the same. PsALM 62. MY soul with expectation depends on God indeed : My strength and my salvation doth from him alone proceed. 2 He only my salvation is, and my strong Rock is he He only is my sure defence, much mov’d I shall not be. 3 How long will ye against a man plot mischief ? ye shall all Be slain : ye as a tott’ring fence shall be, and bowing wall. 4 They only plot to cast him down from his excellency : They joy in lies: with mouth they less, but they curse inwardly. 5 My soul wait thou with patience upon thy God alone, On him dependeth all my hope and expectation. 6 He orily my salvation is, and my strong rock is he ; He only is my sure defence, I shall not moved be. 7 In God my glory placed is, and my salvation sure ; In God the rock is of my strength, my refuge most secure. 8 Ye people, place your confidence in him continually ; Before him pour ye out your heart; God is our refuge high. 9 Surely mean men are vanity, and great men are a lie; - In balance laid, they wholly are more light than vanity. 10 Trust ye not oppression, in robb’ry he not vain ; On wealth set not your hearts, when as increased is your gain. If God hath it spoken once to me, yea this ſ heard again, That power to almighty God alone doth appertain. 12 Yea, mercy also unto thee belongs, O Lord, alone : For thou, according to his work, rewardest every one. PsALM 63. Lº: thee my God, I’ll early seek, my soul doth thirst for thee; My flesh longs in a dry parch’d land, wherein no waters be ; 2 That I thy pow'r may behold, and brightness of thy face, As I have seen thee heretofore within thy holy place. 3 Since better is thy love than life, my lips thee praise shall give. 4 I in thy name will lift my hands, and biess thee while I live. .5 Ev’n as with marrow and with fat iny soul shall filled be ; Then shall my mouth with joyful lips sing praises unto thee; PSALMS LXI.

RAISE waits for thee in Zion, Lord, to thee vows paid shall be. 2 O thou that hearer art of pray’r, all fiesh shall come to thee. 3 Iniquities, I must confess, prevail against me do: But as for our transgressions, them purge away shalt thou. 4 Bless'd is the man whom thou dost choose, and mak’st approach to thee, That he within thy courts, O Lord, may still a dweller be. We surely shall be satisfied with thy abundant grace, And with the goodness of thy house, ev’n of thy holy place. 5 O God of our salvation, thou, in thy righteousness, By fearful works unto our pray’rs thine answer dost express; Therefore the ends of all the earth, and those afar that be Upon the sea, their confidence, O Lord will place in thee. 6 Who being girt with pow'r, sets fast by his great strength the hills: 7 Who noise of seas, noise of their waves, and people’s tumult stills. 8 Those in the utmost parts that dwell are at thy signs afraid : Th’ outgoings of the morn and evºn by thee are joyful made. 9 The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it; thou mak’st it rich to grow With God’s full flood; thou corn pre- par'st, when thou provid'st it so. 10 Her ridg’s thou wat’rest plenteously, her furrows settlest : With show’rs thou dost her mollify; her spring by thee is blest. 11 So thou the year most lib’rally dost with thy goodness crown; And all thy paths abundantly on us drop fatness down. 12 They drop upon the pastures wide, that do in deserts lie : The little hills on every side rejoice right pleasantly. 13 With flocks the pastures clothed be, the vales with corn are clad ; And now they shout and sing to thee, for thou hast made them glad. PsALM 66. LL lands to God, in joyful sounds, aloft your voices raise : 2 Sing forth the honour of his name, and glorious make his praise. 3 Say unto God, How terrible in all thy works art thou ? Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee shall be constrain’d to bow. 4 All on the earth shall worship thee, they shall thy praise proclaim In songs: they shall sing cheerfully unto thy holy name. 5 Come, and the works that God hath wrought with admiration see : In’s working to the sons of men most terrible is he. 6 Into dry land the sea he turn’d, and they a passage had ; Ev’n marching through the flood on foot, there we in him were glad. 7 He ruleth ever by his pow'r ; his eyes the nations see: O let not the rebellious ones lift up themselves on high. 8 Ye people, bless our God; aloud the voice speak of his praise; 9 Our soul in life who safe preserves, our foot from sliding stays. 10 For thou didst prove and try tis, Lord, as men do silver try; 11 Brought’st us into the net, and mad’st bands on our loins to lie. 12 Thou hast caus’d men ride o’er our heads ; and though that we did pass Thro' fire and water, yet thou brought’st us to a wealthy place. 13 I’ll bring burnt off?rings to thy house; to thee my vows I’ll pay, 14 Which my lips utter’d, my mouth spake when trouble on me lay. 15 Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams, with incense I will bring; Of bullocks and of goats I will present an offering. 16 All that fear God, come, hear, I’ll tell what he did for my soul. 17 I with my mouth unto him cried, my tongue did him extol. 18 If in my heart I sin regard, the Lord me will not hear : 19 But surely God me heard, and to my prayer’s voice gave ear. 20 O let the Lord, our gracious God, for ever blessed be ; Who turned not my pray’r from him, Ilor yet his grace from me. PsALM 67.

O Lord, the God of Israel, let none who search do make, And seek thee, be at any time confounded for my sake. 7 For I have borne reproach for thee, my face is hid with shame. - 8 To brethren strange, to mother’s sons an alien I became. 9 Because the zeal did eat me up which to thine house I bear, And the reproaches cast at thee upon me fallen are. 10 My tears and fasts tº afflict my soul were turned to my shame. 11 When sackcloth I did wear, to a proverb I became. them 12 The men that in the gate do sit against me evil spake ; They also that vile drunkards were, of me their song did make 13 But in an acceptable time, * my pray’r, Lord, is to thee : In truth of thy salvation, Lord, and mercy great, hear me. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, from sinking do me keep ; Free inc from those that do me hate, and from the waters deep. 15 Let not the flood on me prevail, whose water overflows; Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit her mouth upon me close. l6 Hear me, O Lord, because thy love and kindness is most good ; Turn unto me, according to thy mercies’ multitude. 17 Nor from thy servant hide thy face ; I’m troubled, soon attend. 18 Draw near my soul and it redeem : me from my foes defend. 19 To thee is my reproach well known, my shame, and my disgrace : Those that mine adversaries be are all before thy face. 20 Reproach hath broke my heart; I’m full of grief: I look’d for one To pity me, but none I found ; comforters found I none. 21 They also bitter gall did give unto me for my meat: They gave me vinegar to drink, when as my thirst was great. 22 Before them let their table prove a snare ; and do thou make Their welfare and prosperity a trap themselves to take. 23 Let thou their eyes so darken'd be, that light Inay them forsake ; And let their loins be made by thee continually to shake. 24 Thy fury pour thou out on them, and indignation ; And let thy wrathful anger, Lord, | fast hold take them upon. 25 All waste and desolate, let be their habitation; And in their tabernacles all inhabitants be none. 26 Because him they do persecute whom thou didst smite before ; They talk unto the grief of those WIloin thou hast wounded sore. 27 Add thou iniquity unto | their former wickedness; And do not let them come at all into thy righteousness. 28 Out of the book of life let them be raz’d and blotted quite ; Among the just and righteous let not their names be writ. 29 But now become exce and sorrowful am I By thy salvation, O my God, let me be set on high. 30 The name of God I with a song most cheerfully will praise; And I, in giving thanks to him, his name shall highly raise. eding poor 31 This to the Lord a sacrifice more gracious shall prove, Than bullock, ox, or any beast that hath both horn and hoof. 32 When this the humble men shall see, it joy to them shall give : O all ye that do seek the Lord, your hearts shall ever live. 33 For God the poor hears, and will not his prisoners contemn. 34 Let heav'n, and earth, and seas, him praise, and all that move in them. 35 For God will Judah’s cities build, and he will Zion save ; That they may dwell therein, and it in sure possession have. 36 And they that are his servants’ seed inherit shall the same : So shall they have their dwelling there that love his blessed name. PsALM 70. Lº: haste me to deliver; with speed, Lord, succour me, 2 Let them that for my soul do seek Sham’d and confounded be: Turn’d back be they, and sham’d, that in Iny hurt delight. PSALMS LXX. LXXI. LXX11. LXXIII. LXXIV. LXXV. 3 Turn’d back be they, Ha, ha! that say their shaming to requite. 4 In thee let all be glad, and joy that seek for thee : Let them who thy salvation love say still, God praised be. 5 I poor and needy am ; come Lord, and make no stay: My help thou and deliv'rer art; O Lord make no delay. .Another of the same. AKE haste, O God, me to preserve ; with speed, Lord succour me. 2 Let them that for my soul do seek sham’d and confounded be : Let them be turn’d back, and sham'd that in my hurt delight. 3 Turn’d back be they, Ha, ha! that Say, their shaming to requite. 4 O Lord, in thee let all be glad, and joy that seek for thee: Let them who thy salvation love say still, God praised be. 5 But I both poor and needy am ; coine, Lord, and make no stay : My help thou and deliv’rer art; O Lord make no delay. PsALM 71. LORD, my hope and confidence is placed in thee alone ; Then let thy servant never be put to confusion. 2 And let me in thy righteousness, from thee deliv'rance have ; Cause me escape, incline thine ear unto me, and me save. 3 Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which I ever may resort: Thou gav’st commandment me to save, for thou’rt my rock and fort. 4 Free me, my God, from wicked hands, hands cruel and unjust : 5 For thou, O Lord God, art my hope; and from my youth my trust. 6 Thou from the womb didst hold me up: thou art the same that me Out of my mother’s bowels took : I ever will praise thee. 7 To many ſ a wonder am ; but thou’rt my refuge strong. 8 Fill’d let my mouth be with thy praise and honour all day long. 9 O do not cast me off, when as old age doth overtake me ; And when my strength decayed is, then do not thou forsake me. 10 For those that are mine enemies against me speak with hate ; And they together counsel take that for my soul lay wait. 11 They said, God leaves him ; him pursue and take : none will him save. 12 Be thou not far from me my God : thy speedy help I crave. 13 Confound, consume them, that unto my soul are enemies; Cloth’d be they with reproach and shame that do my hurt devise. 14 But I with expectation will hope continually; And yet with praises more and more I will thee magnify. 15 Thy justice and salvation - my mouth abroad shall show, Ev’n all the day; for I thereof the numbers do not know. 16 And I will constantly go on in strength of God the Lord ; And thine own righteousness, ev’n thine alone, I will record. 17 For ev’n from my youth, O God, by thee I have been taught; And hitherto I have declar’d the wonders thou hast wrought. 18 And now, Lord, leave me not, when I - old and grey-headed grow ; Till to this age thy strength, and pow?r . to all to come, I show. O Lord, is very high, Who hast so great things done: O O Who is like unto thee : 20 Thou, Lord, who great adversities, and gore, to me didst show, 19 And thy most perfect righteousness, . Shalt quicken, and bring me again from depths of earth below. 21 My greatness and my pow'r thou wilt increase, and far extend : On ev’ry side against all grief, thou wilt me comfort send. |22 Thee, evºn thy truth, I’ll also praise, my God, with psaltery : Thou holy One of Israel, with harp I’ll sing to thee. 23 My lips shall much rejoice in thee, when I thy praises sound : My soul, which thou redeemed hast, in joy shall much abound. 24 My tongue thy justice shall proclaim, continuing all day long : For they confounded are, and sham’d, that seek to do me wrong. PsALM 72. O LORD, thy judgments give the king, his son thy righteousness. 2. With right he shall thy people judge, thy poor with uprightness. 3 The lofty mountains shall bring forth unto the people peace ; Likewise the little hills the same shall do by righteousness. 4 The people’s poor ones he shall judge, the needy’s children save ; And those shall he in pieces break who them oppressed have. 5 They shall thee fear, while sun and IY1OOIn do last, through ages all. 6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop, or show’rs on earth that fall. 7 The just shall flourish in his days, and prosper in his reign : He shall, while doth the moon endure, abundant peace maintain. 8 His large and great dominion shall from sea to sea extend ; It from the river shall reach forth unto earth’s utmost end. 9 They in the wilderness that dwell how down before him must ; And they that are his enemies shall lick the very dust. to him shall presents bring; And unto him shall offer gifts Sheba's and Seba’s king. 11 Yea, all the mighty kings on earth before him down shall fall ; And all the nations of the world do service to him shall. 12 For he the needy shall preserve, when he to him doth call ; The poor also, and him that hath no help of man at all 13 The poor man and the Indigent in mercy he shall spare ; He shall preserve alive the souls of those that needy are. 14 Both from deceit and violence their souls he shall set free; And in his sight right precious and dear their blood shall be. 15 Yea, he shall live, and giv'n to him shall be of Sheba's gold : For him still shall they pray, and he shall daily be extoll’d. 16 Of corn an handful in the earth on tops of mountains high, With prosp’rous fruit shall shake, like trees on Lebanon that be. The city shall be flotirishing, her citizens abound In number shall, like to the grass that grows upon the ground. 17 His name for ever shall endure; last like the sun it shall : Men shall be bless'd in him, and bless'd all nations shall him call. 18 Now blessed be the Lord our God, the God of Israel, For he alone doth wondrous works, in glory that excel. 19 And blessed be his glorious name to all eternity : The whole earth let his glory fill. Amen, so let it be. PsALM 73. Yº. God is good to Israel, to each pure-hearted one. 2 But as for me, my steps near slipp’d, my feet were almost gone. 3 For I envious was, and grudg’d the foolish folk to º 1 10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, When I perceiv'd the wicked sort enjoy prosperity. 4 For still their strength continueth firm, their death of bands is free. 5 They are not toil’d as other men; nor plagu’d as others he. 6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain, them compasseth about ; And, as a garinent, violence doth cover them throughout. 7 Their eyes stand out with fat; they have more than their heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt; their talk of wrong both lewd and lofty is. 9 They set their mouth against the heav’ns - in their hlasphemous talk ; And their reproaching tongue through- Out the earth at large doth walk. 10 His people oftentines for this look back and turn about ; Sith waters of so full a cup to these are poured out : And thus they say, How can it be that God these things doth know * Or, can there in the highest be knowledge of things below 2 11 12 Behold, these are the wicked ones, yet prosper at their will In worldly things; they do increase in wealth and riches still. I, verily, have done in vain my heart to purify ; To no effect in innocence washed my hands have I. 13 4 For daily, and all day throughout, great plagues I suffer'd have ; Yea, ev’ry morning I of new did chastisement receive. Iſ in this manner foolishly to speak I would intend, Thy children’s generation, behold, I should offend. 15 16 When I this thought to know, it was too hard a thing for me; 17 Till to God’s sanctu’ry I went: then I their end did see. Assuredly thou didst them set a slipp’ry place upon ; Them suddenly thou castedst down into destruction. 8 How in a moment suddenly to ruin brought are they : With fearful terrors utterly they are consum’d away. Ev’n like unto a dream, when one from sleeping doth arise ; So thou, O Lord, when thou awak'st, their image shalt despise. 2 () 21 Thus grieved was my heart in me, and me my reins opprest. 22 So rude was I, and ignorant, and in thy sight a beast. 23 Nevertheless, continually, O Lord, ſ am with thee: Thou dost me hold by my right hand, and still upholdest me. 24 Thou, with thy counsel, while I live, wilt me conduct and guide ; And to thy glory afterward receive me to abide. 25 Whom have I in the heavens high but thee, O Lord, alone * And in the earth whom I desire besides thee, there is none. 26 My flesh and heart doth faint and fail, but God doth fail me never : For of my heart God is the strength, and portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee for ever perish shall : Them that a whoring from thee go, thou hast destroyed all. 28 But surely it is good for me that I draw near to God : In God I trust, that all thy works I may declare abroad. PsALM 74. O GOI), why hast thou cast us off? is it for evermore ? Against thy pasture-sheep why doth thine anger smoke so sore ? 2 O call to thy remembrance thy congregation, Which thou hast purchased of old ; still think the same upon : The rod of thine inheritance, which thou redeemed hast, This Zion hill, wherein thou hadst thy dwelling in times past. 3 To these long desolations thy feet lift, do not tarry; For all the ills thy foes have done Within thy sanctuary. 4 Amidst thy congregations thine enemies do roar: Their ensigns they set up for signs of triumph thee before. - 5 A man was famous, and was had in estimation, According as he lifted up his axe thick trees upon 3 6 But all at once with axes now and hammers they go to, - And down the carved work thereof they break, and quite undo. 7 They fired have thy sanctuary, and have defil’d the same, By casting down unto the ground the place where dwelt thy name. l8 Thus said they in their hearts, Let us destroy them out of hand : They burnt up all the synagogues of God within the land. 9 Our signs we do not now behold ; there is not us among A prophet more, nor any one that knows the time how long. 10 How long, Lord, shall the enemy thus in reproach exclaim 2 And shall the adversary thus always blaspheme thy name 2 11 Thy hand, ev’n thy right hand of might, why dost thou thus draw back 2 O ſrom thy bosom pluck it out, for our deliv’rance sake. 12 For certainly God is my king, ev’n from the times of old; Working in midst of all the earth Salvation manifold. 13 The sea, by thy great pow'r to part asunder thou didst make ; And thou the dragons’ heads, O Lord within the waters brake. 14 The leviathan’s head thou brak’st in pieces, and didst give Him to be meat unto the folk in wilderness that live. 15 Thou clav’st the fountain and the flood, which did with streams abound : Thou dri’dst the mighty waters up unto the very ground. 16 Thine only is the day, O Lord, thine also is the night; And thou alone prepared hast the sum and shining light. 17 By thee the borders of the earth were settled every where : The summer and the winter both by thee created were. 18 That th’ enemy reproached hath, O keep it in record ; And that the foolish people have blasphem’d thy name, O Lord. 19 Unto the multitude do not thy turtle’s soul deliver; The congregation of thy poor do not ſorget for ever. |20 Unto thy cov’nant have répect; for earth’s dark places be Full of the halºitations of horrid cruelty. 21 O Jet not those that be oppress'd return again with sharine : Let those that poor and needy are give praise unto thy name. 22 Do thou, O God, arise and plead the cause that is thine own : Remember how thou art reproach'd still by the foolish one. 23 Do not forget the voice of those that are thine enemies: Of those the tumult ever grows that do against thee rise. PsALM 75. To thee, O God, do we give thanks, we do give thanks to thee; Because thy wondrous works declare thy great name near to be. - 2 I purpose, when I shall receive the congregation, That I shall judgment uprightly render to ev’ry one. 3 Dissolved is the land with all that in the same do dwell ; But I the pillars thereof do bear up, and 'stablish well. 4 I to the foolish people said, Do not deal foolishly ; And, unto those that wicked are, lift not your horn on high : 10 5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak with stubborn neck. But know 6 That not from east, nor west, nor South promotion doth flow. 7 But God is judge ; he puts down one, and sets another up. 8 For in the hand of God most high of red wine is a cup : 'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth, and makes the wicked all Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; yea, and they drink them shałł. 9 But I for ever will declare, I Jacob’s God will praise. 10 Ali horns of lewd men I’ll cut off; but just men’s horms will raise. PsALM 76. TN Judah’s land God is well known : his name’s in Isr’el great. 2 In Salem is his tabernacle, in Zion is his seat. 3 There arrows of the bow he brake, the shield, the sword, the war. 4 More glorious thou than hills of prey, more excellent art far. 5 Those that were stout of heart are spoil’d, they slept their sleep outright; And none of those their hands did find that were the men of might. 6 When thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God, had forth against them past, Their horses and their chariots both were in a dead sleep cast. Y Thou, Lord, ev’n thou art he that should be fear’d ; and who is he That may stand up before thy sight, if once thou angry be 3 8 From heav'n thou judgment caus’d be heard ; the earth was still with fear, 9 When God to judgment rose, to save all meek on earth that Were. 10 Surely the very wrath of man unto thy praise redounds : Thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds. II Vow to the Lord your God, and pay : all ye that near him be, Bring gifts and presents unto him ; for to be fear?d is he. 12 By him the sp?rits shall be cut off of those that princes are: Unto the kings that are on earth he fearful doth appear. PsALM 77. UN. the Lord I with my voice, I unto God did cry, Ev’n with my voice ; and unto me his ear he did apply. 2 I in my trouble sought the Lord ; my sore by might did run, And ceased not : my grieved soul did consolation shun. 3 I to remembrance God did call, yet trouble did remain ; And overwhelm’d my spirit was, whilst I did sore complain. 4 Mine eyes, debarr'd from rest and sleep thou makest still to wake : My trouble is so great, that I unable aim to speak. 5 The days of old to mind I call’d, and oft did think upon The times and ages that are past full many years agone. 6 By night my song I call to mind, and commune with my heart; My sp’rit did carefully inquire how I might ease my Smart. 7 For ever will the Lord cast off, and gracious be no more ? 8 For ever is his mercy gone fails his word evermore ? 9 Is’t true, that to be gracious the Lord forgotten hath 2 And that his tender mercies he hath shut up in his wrath 2 10 Then did I say, That surely this is mine infirmity : -- I’ll mind the years of the right hand of him that is most High. 11 Yea, I remember will the works performed by the Lord : The wonders done of old by thee I surely will record. 12 I also will of all thy works & my meditation make ; And of thy doings to discourse great pleasure I will take LXXVI. LXXVII. LXXVIII. LXXIX. LXXX 13 O God, thy way most holy is within thy sanctuary ; And what God is so great in pow'r as is our God most high 3 14 Theu art the God that wonders do?st by thy right hand most strong : Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar’d the nations among. 15 To thine own people with thine arm thou didst redemption bring ; To Jacob’s sons, and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring. 16 The waters, Lord, perceived thee, the waters saw thee weł) : And they for fear aside did flee; the depths on trembling fell. 17 The clouds in waters forth were pour’d, sound loudly did the sky ; And swiftly through the world abroad thine arrows fierce did fly. 18 Thy thunder’s voice alongst the heav’n a mighty noise did make : . By lightnings lighten’d was the world; th’ earth tremble did and shake. 19 Thy way is in the sea, and in the waters great thy path, Yet are thy footsteps hid, O Lord ; none knowledge thereof hath. 20 Thy people thou didst safely lead, like to a flock of sheep; By Moses’ hand, and Aaron’s, thou didst them conduct and keep. PSALM 78. A.P. my people, to my law; thereto give thou an ear: The words that from my mouth pro- ceed, - attentively do hear. 2 My mouth shall speak a parable, and sayings dark of old : 3 The same which we have heard and known, and us our fathers told. 4 We also will them not conceal from their posterity ; Them to the generation to come declare will we : The praises of the Lord our God, and his almighty strength, The wondrous works that he hath done, we will show forth at length. 5 His testimony and his law in Isr’el he did place, And charg’d our fathers it to show to their succeeding race : 6 That so the race which was to come might well them learn and know ; And sons unborn, who should arise, might to their sons them show : 7 That they might set their hope in God, and suffer not to fall His mighty works out of their mind, but keep his precepts all : 8 And might not, like their fathers, be a stiff rebellious race ; A race not right in heart; with God whose sp?rit not steadfast was. 9 The sons of Ephraim, who nor bows nor other arms did lack, When as the day of battle was, they faintly turned back. 10 They brake God’s cov'nant, and re- fus’d in his commands to go: 11 His works and wonders they forgot, which he to them did show. 13 Things marvellous he brought to pass; their fathers them beheld, Within the land of Egypt done, yea, ev’n in Zoan’s field. 13 By him divided was the sea, he caus’d them through to pass; And made the waters so to stand, as like an heap it was. 14 With cloud by day, with light of fire all might, he did them guide. 15 In desert rocks he clave, and drink, as from great depths, supplied. 16 He from the rock brought streams, like floods made waters to run down. 17 Yet sinning more, in desert they provok'd the highest One. 18 For in their heart they tempted God, and speaking with mistrist, They greedily did meat require to satisfy their lust. and, murmuring, said thus, 19 Against the Lord himself they spake; - A table in the wilderness can God prepare for us? 20 Behold, he smote the rock, and thence came streams and waters great; But can he give his people bread 2 and send them flesh to eat f 21. The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth ; so kindled was a flame 'Gainst Jacob, and ’gainst Israel up in indignation came. 22 For they believ’d not God, nor trust in his salvation had : 23 Though clouds above he did com- mand, and heav'n's doors open made ; 24 And manna rain’d on them, and gave them corn of heav'n to eat. 25 Man angels’ food did eat; to them he to the full sent meat. 26 And in the heaven he did cause an eastern wind to blow ; And by his power he let out the southern wind to go. 27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made to rain down then among; And feather’d fowls, like as the sand which lieth the shore along. 28 At his command amidst their camp these show’rs of flesh down fell, All round about the tabernacles and tents where they did dwell. 29 So did they eat abundantly, and had of meat their fill ; For he did give to them what was their own desire and will. 30 They from their lust had not estrang'd their heart and their desire ; But while the meat was in their mouths, which they did so require, 31 God’s wrath upon them came, and slew the fattest of them all : So that the choice of Israel, o’erthrown by death, did fall. 32 Yet, notwithstanding of all this, they sinned still the more ; And tho’ he had great wonders wrought, believ’d him not therefore. 33 Wherefore their days in vanity he did consume and waste : And by his wrath their wretched years . away in trouble past. 34 But when he slew them, then they did to seek him show desire ; Yea, they returned, and after God right early did inquire. 35 And that the Lord had been their Rock they did remember then : Ev’n that the high almighty God had their Redeemer been. 36 Yet with their mouth they flatter'd him, and spake but feignedly: And they unto the God of truth with their false tongues did lie. 37 For though their words were good, their heart with him was not sincere: Unsteadfast and perfidious they in his cov’nant were. 38 But, full of pity, he forgave their sin, them did not slay ; Nor stirr'd up all his wrath, but oft his anger turn’d away. 39 For that they were but fading flesh to mind they did recall : A wind that passeth soon away, and not returns at all. 40 How often did they him provoke within the wilderness : And in the desert did him grieve with their rebelliousness . . 41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God, and limits set upon Him, who in the midst of Isr’cl is the only holy One. 42 They did not call to mind his pow'r, nor yet the day when he Deliver'd them out of the hand of their fierce enemy. - 43 Nor how great signs in Egypt land he openly had wrought ; What miracles in Zoan’s field his hand to pass had brought. 44 How lakes and rivers ev’ry where he turned into blood ; So that no man nor beast could drink of standing lake or flood, 45 He brought among them swarms of flies which did them sore annoy; And divers kinds of filthy frogs he sent them to destroy. 46 He to the caterpillar gave the fruits of all their soil : Their labours he deliver'd up unto the locusts’ spoil. 47 Their vines with hail, their sycamores, he with the frost did blast. 48 Their beasts to hail he gave, their flocks - hot thunderbolts did waste. 49 Fierce burning wrath he on them cast, and indignation strong, And troubles sore, by sending forth ill angels them among. 50 He to his wrath made way, their soul from death he did not save ; But over to the pestile tice the lives of them he gave. 51. In Egypt land the first-born all he smote down ev’ry where ; Among the tents of Ham, ev’n these chief of their strength that were. 52 But his own people, like to sheep, thence to go forth he made ; And he, amidst the wilderness, them, as a flock, did lead. 53 And he them safely on did lead, so that they did not fear : Whereas their en’mies by the sea quite overwhelmed were. 54 To borders of his sanctuary the Lord his people led, Ev’n to the mount which his right hand for them had purehased. 55 The nations of Canaan, by his Almighty hand, Before their face he did expel out of their native land ; Which for inheritance to them, by line he did divide, And made the tribes of Israel within their tents abide. 56 Yet God most high they did provoke; and tempted ever still : And to observe his testimonies did not incline their will : 57 But, like their fathers, turned back, and dealt unfaithfully ; Aside they turned, like a bow that shoots deceitfully. 58 For they to anger did provoke him with their places high ; And with their graven images mov’d him to jealousy. 59 When God heard this he waxed wroth, and much loath’d Isr’el then : 60 So Shiloh’s tent he left, the tent which he had plac’d with men. 61 And he his strength delivered into captivity. He left his glory in the hand of his proud enemy. 62 His people also he gave o’er unto the sword’s fierce rage; So sore his wrath inflamed was, against his heritage. 63 The fire consum’d their choice young men ; their maids no marriage had. 64 And when their priests fell by the sword, their wives no mourning made. 65 But then the Lord arose, as one that doth from sleep awake ; And like a giant that, by wine refresh'd, a shout doth make. 66 Upon his enemy’s hinder parts he made his stroke to fall ; And so upon them he did put a shame perpetual. 67 Moreover he the tabernacle of Joseph did refuse ; The mighty tribes of Ephraim he would in no wise choose : 68 But he did choose Jehudah’s tribe to be the rest above ; And of mount Sion he made choice, which he so Inuch did love. 69 And be his sanctuary built like to a palace high, Like to the earth which he did found to perpetuity. 70 Of David, that his servant was he also choice did make : And even from the folds of sheep was pleased him to take. 71 From waiting on the ewes with young, he brought him forth to feed Israel, his inheritance, his people, Jacob’s seed. 72 So after the integrity he of his heart thou fed ; And by the good skill of his hands them wisely governed. PsALM 79. GOD, the heathen enter'd have thine heritage ; by them Defil’d is thy house : on heaps they laid Jerusalem. 2 The bodies of thy servants they have cast forth to be meat To rav’nous fowls: thy dear saints flesh, they gave to beasts to eat 3 Their blood about Jerusalem like water they have shed ; And there was none to bury them when they were slain and dead. 4 Unto our neighbours a reproach most base become are we ; A scorn and laughing-stock to them that round about us be. 5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last ! wilt thou still keep the same * And shall thy fervent jealousy burn like unto a flame 2 6 On heathens pour thy fury forth, that have thee never known, And on those kingdoms which thy Ina Iſ! 6. have never call’d upon. 7 For these are they who Jacob have devoured cruelly ; And they his habitation have caused waste to lie. 8 Against us mind not former sins • thy tender mercies show ; Let them prevent us speedily ; for we’re brought very low. 9 For thy name’s glory help us, Lord, who hast our Saviour been ; Deliver us; for thy name’s sake O purge away our sin. 10 whº, º, the heathen, Where's their OOl ſº let him to them be known When those who shed thy servants' blood are in our sight overthrown. 11 O let the pris’ners’ sighs ascend before thy sight on high ; Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r that are design'd to die: 12 And to our neighbour’s bosom cause it sev’n-fold render'd be, Ev’n the reproach where with they have, O Lord, reproached thee. 13 So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep, shall give thee thanks always; And unto generations all we will show forth thy praise. PSALM 80. Hº: Isrºel’s Shepherd, like a flock thou that dost Joseph guide ; Shine forth, O thou that dost between the cherubims abide. 2 In Ephraim's and Benjamin’s, and in Manasseh’s sight, O come for our salvation, stir up thy strength and might. 3 Turn us again, O Lord our God, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be safe. 4 O Lord of hosts, almighty God, how long shall kindled be Thy wrath against the prayer made by thine own folk to thee 2 5 Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to thern instead of bread to eat ; º Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st to them in measure great. 6 Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours round about ; Our enemies among themselves at us do laugh and flout. 7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and upon us vouchsafe & To make thy countenance to shine and so we shall be safe. 8 A vine from Egypt brought thou hast by thine outstretched hand ; And thou the heathen out didst cast, to plant it in their land. 9 Before it thou a room didst make where it might grow and stand ; Thou causedst it deep root to take, and it did fill the land.

LXXXIX. 10 The mountains veil'd were with its shade as with a covering; Like goodly cedars were the boughs which out from it did spring. 11 Upon the one hand to the sea her boughs she did out send ; On th’ other side unto the flood her branches did extend. 12 Why hast thou then thus broken down and ta'en her hedge away; So that all passengers do pluck, and make of her a prey & 13 The boar, who from the forest comes doth waste it at his pleasure ; The wild beast of the field also devours it out of measure. 14 O God of hosts, we thee beseech, return thou unto thine ; Look down from heav’n in love, behold, and visit this thy vine ; 15 This vineyard, which thine own right hand has planted us among, And thyself thou hast made to be strong. 16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire, it also is cut down : They utterly are perished when as thy face doth frown. 17 O let thy hand be still upon the man of thy right hand, The son of man, whom for thyself thou inadest strong to stand. 18 So henceforth we will not go back, nor turn from thee at all : O do thou quicken us, and we upon thy name will call. 19 Turn us again, Lord God of hosts, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be saſe. PsALM 81. ING loud to God our strength : with joy to Jacob’s God do sing. 2 Take up a psalin, the pleasant harp, timbrel and psaltery bring. 3 Bloº trumpets at new-moon, what ay our feast appointed is: 4 For charge to -ſsrºel, and a law of Jacob’s God was this. 5 To Joseph this a testimony he made, when Egypt land He travell’d through, where speech I heard I did not understand. 6 His shoulder I from burdens took ; his hands from pots did free. 7 Thou didst in trouble on me call, and I deliver'd thee : In secret place of thundering I did thee answer make ; And at the streams of Meribah of thee a proof did take. 3 O thou, my people give an ear, I’ll testify to thee; To thee, O Isr’el, if thou wilt but hearken unto me. 9 In midst of thee there shall not be any strange god at all ; Nor unto any god unknown thou bowing down shalt fall, 10 I am the Lord thy God, which did from Egypt land thee guide : I’ll fill thy mouth abundantly, do thou it open wide. 11 But yet my people to my voice would not attentive be ; " And ev’n iny chosen Israel he would have none of me. 12 So to the lust of their own hearts I them delivered ; And then in counsels of their own they vainly wandered. 13 O that my people had me heard, Isr’el my ways had chose : 14 I had their en’mies soon subdu’d, my hand turn’d on their foes. 25. The haters of the Lord to him submission should have feign'd : But as for them, their time should have that same branch which for PsALM 82. N gods' assembly God doth stand; he judgeth gods among. 2 How long, accepting persons vile, will ye give judgment wrong? 3 Defend the poor and fatherless; to poor oppress’d do right. 4 The poor and needy ones set free ; rid them from ill maen’s might. 5 They know not, nor will understand; in darkness they walk on : All the foundations of the earth out of their course are gone. 6 I said that ye are gods, and are sons of the Highest all : 7 But ye shall die like men, and as one of the princes fall. 8 O God, do thou raise up thyself, the earth to judgment call : For thou, as thine inheritance, shalt take the nations all. PSALM 83. EEP not, O God, we thee entreat, O keep not silence now : Do thou not hold thy peace, O God, and still, no more be thou. - 2 For, lo, thine enemies a noise tumultuously have made ; And they that haters are of thee have lifted up the head. 3 Against thy chosen people they do crafty counsel take ; And they against thy hidden ones do consultations make. 4 Come, let us cut them off, said they, from being a nation ; That the name of Isr’el may no more be inention. 5 For with joint heart, they plot in league, against thee they combine, 6 The tents of Edom, Ishm’elites; Moab’s and Hagar’s line ; - 7 Gebal, and Ammon, Amalek, Philistines, those of Tyre; 8 And Assur join’d with them : to help Lot’s children they conspire. 9 Do to them as to Midian, Jabin at Kison strand, 10 And Sis’ra; which at Endor fell, as dung to fat the land. 11 Like Oreb, and like Zeeb, make their noble men to fall ; Like Zeba, and Zalmunna like, make thou their princes all ; 12 Who said, for our possession let us God’s houses take. 13 My God them like a wheel, as chaff before the wind, them make. 14 As fire consumes the wood, as flame doth mountains set on fire; 15 Chase and affright them with the St0rml and tempest of thine ire. 16 Their faces fill with shame, O Lord, that they may seek thy name. 17 Let them confounded be, and vex’d, and perish in their shame : 18 That men may know that thou, to whom alone doth appertain The name JEHOVAH, dost most high o’er all the earth remain. PsALM 84. H% lovely is thy dwelling-place, O Lord of hosts, to me ! The tabernacles of thy grace how pleasant, Lord, they be 2 My thirsty soul longs veh’mently, yea, faints thy courts to see: My very heart and flesh cry out, O living God, for thee. 3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out an house wherein to rest; The swallow also for herself hath purchased a nest; Ev’n thine own altars, where she safe her young ones forth may bring, O thou almighty Lord of hosts, who art my God and King. 4 Bless'd are they in thy house that dwell ; they ever give thee praise. 5 Bless'd is the man whose strength thou art, in whose heart are thy ways; 6 Who passing through Baca’s vaſe, therein do dig up wells; Also the rain that falleth down the pools with water fills 7 So they from strength unwearied go still forward unto strength, Until in Sion they appear before the Lord at length. 8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear; O Jacob’s God, give ear. 9 See, God, our Shield, look on the face of thine Anointed dear. 10 For in thy courts one day excels a thousand ; rather in My God’s house will I keep a door, than dwell in tents of sin. 11 For God the Lord’s a sun and shield, he 'll grace and glory give : And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live. 12 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, that man is truly blest, Who, by assured confidence, On thee alone doth rest. PsALM 85. O LORD, thou hast been favourable to thy beloved land ; Jacob’s captivity thou hast recall’d with mighty hand. 2 Thou pardoned thy people hast all their iniquities; Thou all their trespasses and sing hast cover'd from thine eyes. 3 Thou took'st of all thine ire, and turn’dst from thy wrath’s furiousness. 4 Turn us, God of our health, and cause thy wrath 'gainst us to cease. 5 Shall thy displeasure thus endure against us without end ? Wilt thou to generations all thine anger forth extend ? 6 That in thee may thy people joy, wilt thou not us revive f 7 Show us thy mercy, Lord, to us do thy salvation give. 8 I 'll hear what God the Lord will speak : to his folk he 'll speak peace, And to his saints; but let them not return to foolishness. 9 To them that fear him, surely near is his salvation : That glory in our land may have her habitation. 10 Truth met with mercy, righteousness and peace kiss'd mutually: 11 Truth springs from earth, and righte- OUISI] {28S looks down from heaven high. 12 Yea, what is good the Lord shall give; our land shall yield increase, 13 Justice, to set us in his steps, Shall go before his face. PsALM 86. O LORD, do thou bow down thine ear, and hear me graciously; Because I sore afflicted am, and am in poverty. 2 Because I 'm holy, let my soul by thee preserved be : O thou my God, thy servant save that puts his trust in thee. 3 Sith unto thee I daily cry, be merciful to me. 4 Rejoice thy servant’s soul ; for, Lord, I liſt my souſ to thee. 5 For thou art gracious, O Lord, and ready to forgive ; And rich in mercy, all that call upon thee to relieve. 6 Hear, Lord, my pray’r; unto the voice of my request attend : 7 In troublous times I 'll call on thee; for thou wilt answer send. 8 Lord, there is none among the gods that may with thee compare : And like the works which thou hast done, not any work is there. 9 All nations whom thou mad’st shall COme and worship rev'rently Before thy face; and they, O Lord, thy name shall glorify. 10 Because thou art exceeding great, and works by thee are done Which are to be admir’d ; and thou art God thyself alone. And I the glory will ascribe unto thy name always: 13 Because thy mercy toward me in greatness doth excel ; And thou deliver'd hast my soul out from the lowest hell. 14 O God, the proud against me rise ; and vi’lent men have met, That for my soul have sought ; and thee before them have not set. 15 But thou art full of pity, Lord, a God most gracious; Long-suffering and in thy truth and mercy plentedus. 16 O turn to me thy countenance, and mercy on me have : Thy servants strengthen, and the son of thine own handmaid save. 17 Show me a sign for good : that they which do me hate may see, And be asham’d ; because thou, Lord, didst help and comfort me. PsALM 87. PON the hills of holiness he his foundation sets. 2 God more than Jacob’s dwellings all delights in Sion's gates. 3 Things glorious are said of thee, thou city of the Lord. 4 Rahab and Babel, I, to those that know me, will record : Behold ev’n Tyrus, and with it the land of Palestine, And likewise Ethiopia: this iman was born therein. 5 And it of Sion shall be said, this man and that man there Was born ; and he that is most High himself shall 'stablish her. 6 When God the people writes, he’ll COUlnt that this man born was there. 7 There be that sing and play; and all my well-springs in thee are. PSALM 88. RD God, my Saviour, day and L9 night before thee cried have I. 2 Before thee let my prayer come ; give ear unto my cry. 3 For troubles great do fill my soul ; my life draws nigh the grave. 4 I’m counted with those that go down to pit: and no strength have. 5 Ev’n free among the dead, like them that slain in grave do lie ; Cut off from thy hand, whom no more thou hast in memory. 6 Thou hast me lain in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves. 7 Thy wrath lays hard on me, thou hast me press'd with all thy waves. 8 Thou hast put far from me my friends, thou mad’st them to abhor me; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me. 9 By reason of affliction mine eye mourns dolefully: To thee, Lord, do I call, and stretch my hands continually. 10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall they rise, and thee bless f 11 Shall in the grave thy love be told 2 in death thy faithfulness 2 12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark, or shall thy righteousness Be known to any in the land of deep forgetfulness? 13 But, Lord, to thee I cried ; my pray’r at morn prevent shall thee. 14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my oul, and hid'st thy face from me? 15 Distress'd am I, and from my youth I ready am to die; Thy terrors I have borne, and am distracted fearfully. 16 The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath quite over me doth go : Thy terrors great have cut me off, they did ptirsue me so. 17 For round about me ev'ry day, like water they did roll ; And gathering together, they have compassed my soul. | 1 PSALM 89. Gºś mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfi:lness make to be known to generations all. 2 For mercy shall be built, said I, ſor ever to endure : Thy faithfulness, ev’n in the heav’ns, thou wilt establish sure. 3 I with my chosen One have made a covenant graciously: And to my servant, whom I lov’d, to David sworn have I : 4 That I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain ; And will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express: And in the congregation of saints, thy faithfulness. - 6 For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare * Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are 2 7 Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord ; And he of all about him should with reverence be ador’d. 8 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, what Lord in mightiness Is like to thee ? who compass'd round art with thy faithfulness. 9 Ev’n in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign : And when the waves thereof do swell, thou stillest them again 10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughter'd is ; And with thy mighty arm thou hast dispers’d thine enemies. 11 The heav'ns are thine, thou for thine OW in the earth dost also take ; The world, and fulness of the same, thy pow'r did found and make. 12 The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had : Both Tabor mount and Hermon hiſl shall in thy name be glad. 13 Thou hast an arm that’s full of pow'r, thy hand is great in might; And thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14 Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place : Mercy, accompanied with truth, shall go before thy face. 15 O greatly bless'd the people are the joyful sound that know ; In brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16 They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly ; And in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17 Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; And in thy favour shall our horn and pow'r exalted be. 18 For God is our defence ; and he to us doth safety bring: The holy One of Israel is our almighty King. 19 In vision to thy holy One thou said’st, ſ help upon A strong one laid ; out of the folk I rais’d a chosen one. 20 Ev’n David, I have found him out a servant unto me ; And with my holy oil, my king anointed him to be. 21 With whom my hand shall 'stab- lish’d be ; mine arm shall make him strong. 22 On him the foe shall not exact, nor son of mischief wrong. 23 I will beat down before his face all his malicious foes: I will them greatly plague who do with hatred him oppose. 24 My mercy and my faithfulness with him yet still shall be ; And in my name his horn and pow men shall exalted see. 25 His hand and power shall reach afar I’ll set it in the sea ; And his right hand established shall in the rivers be. | for evermore remain’d. .6 He should have also fed them with the finest of the wheat; Of honey from the rock, thy fill I should have made thee eat. 11 Teach me thy way, and in thy truth, O Lord, then walk will I: Unite my heart, that I thy name may fear continually. 12 O Lord, my God, with all my heart to thee I will give praise; 18 My friends thou hast put far from me, and him that did me love ; And those that nine acquaintance Were to darkness didst remove. 26 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, thon art my God alone; 5 As with an overflowing flood thou carriest them away; They like a sleep are: like the grass that grows at morm are they. 6. At morn it flourishes and grows, cut down at ev’n doth fade. 7 For by thine anger we’re consum’d, thy wrath makes us afraid. 8 Our sins, thou, and iniquities, dost in thy presence place And sett’st our secret faults the brightness of thy face. 9 For in thine anger all our days do pass on to an end ; And as a tale that hath been told, So We our years do spend. 2 before 10 Threescore and ten years do sum up our days and years we see ; Or if, by reason of more strength, in some fourscore they be : Yet doth the strength of such old men but grief and labour prove ; For it is soon cut off, and we fly hence, and soon remove. Who knows the power of thy wrath according to thy fear So is thy wrath. Lord, teach thou us our end in mind to bear ; And so to count our days that we our hearts may still apply To learn thy wisdom and thy truth, that we may live thereby. 13 Turn yet again to us, O Lord, how long thus shall it be * Let it repent thee now, for those that servants are to thee. O with thy tender mercies, Lord, us early satisfy ; So we rejoice shall all our days, and still be glad in thee. I 4 According as the days have been, wherein we grief have had, And years wherein we ill have seen, so do thou make us glad. O let thy work and pow'r appear thy servants’ face before ; And show unto thy children dear thy glory evermore. I 6 7 And let the beauty of the Lord our God he us upon : 9 When me your fathers tempt’d and prov’d, and did my working see. 10 Ev’n for the space of forty years this race hath grieved ine; I said, This people errs in heart, my ways they do not know : II To whom I sware in wrath, that to my rest they should not go. PsALM 96. SING a new song to the Lord; sing all the earth to God. 2 To º sing, bless his name; show Still his saving health abroad. 3 Among the heathen nations his glory do declare; And unto all the people show his works that wondrous are For great’s the Lord, and greatly he is to be magnified ; Yea, worthy to be fear'd is he above all gods beside. For all the gods are idols dumb, which blinded nations fear; But our God is the Lord, by whom the heav'n's created were. 5 6 Great honour is before his face, and imajesty divine; Strength is within his holy place, and there doth beauty shine. Do ye ascribe unto the Lord, of people ev’ry tribe, Glory do ye unto the Lord, and mighty pow'r ascribe. 7 8 And he shall say, Thou art the Rock of my salvation. 27 I’ll make him my first-born, more high than kings of any land. . . 28 My love I’ll ever keep for him, my cov’nant fast shall stand. 29 His seed I by my pow'r will make for ever to endure ; And, as the days of heav'n, his throne shall stable be and sure. 30 But if his children shall forsake my laws and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk, but wander from my way : 31 If they my laws break, and do not keep my commandments; 32 I’ll visit then their faults with rods, their sins with chastisements. 33 Yet I’ll not take my love from him, nor false my promise make. 34 My cov’nant I’ll not break, nor change what with my mouth I spake. 35 Once by my holiness I sware, to David I’ll not lie : 36 His seed and throne shall, as the Sun, before me last for ay. 37. It like the moon, shall ever be establish’d steadfastly ; And like to that which in the heav’n doth witness faithfully. 38 But thou displeased hast cast off, thou didst abhor and loathe : With him that thine anointed is thou hast been very Wroth. 39 Thou hast thy servant’s covenant made void and quite cast by ; Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it cast on the ground doth lie. 40 Thou all his hedges hast broke down, his strong holds down hast torn. 41 He to all passers-by a spoil ; to neighbours is a scorn. 42 Thou hast set up his foes’ right hand, mad'st all his en’mies glad : 43 Turn’d his sword’s edge, and him to stand in battle hast not made. 44 His glory thou hast made to cease, his throne to ground down cast: 45 Shorten’d his days of youth, and him with shame thou cover'd hast. 46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself for ever in thine ire f And shall thine indignation burn like unto a fire | 47 Remember, Lord, how short a time I shall on earth remain : O wherefore is it so that thou hast made all men in vain f 48 What man is he that liveth here and death shall never see : Or from the power of the grave what man his soul shall free ? 49 Thy former loving-kindnesses, O Lord, where be they now P These which in truth and faithfulness to David sworn hast thou ? 50 Mind, Lord, thy servant’s sad re- proach ; how I in bosom bear The scornings of the people all, who strong and mighty are : 51 Wherewith thy raging enemies reproach’d O Lord, think on ; Where with they have reproach'd the steps of thine anointed One. 52 All blessings to the Lord our God let be ascribed then ; For evermore so let it be. Amen, yea, and Amen. PSALM 90. LoRº; thou hast been our dwelling- . place in generations all. 2 Before thou ever hadst brought forth the mountains great or small ; Ere ever thou hadst form'd the earth, and all the world abroad : Ev’n thou from everlasting art to everlasting God. 3 Thou dost unto destruction man that is mortal turn ; And unto them thou say’st again, Ye sons of men return. 4 Because a thousand years appear no more before thy sight Than yesterday, when it is past, or than a watch by night. Y’SALMS XC, XC1, XCII. XCIII. XCIV. XCV. XCVI. XCVII. Our handy works establish thou, establish them each one. PsALM 91. Hº that doth in the secret place of the Most High reside, Under the shade of him that is th” Almighty, shall abide. 2 I of the Lord my God will say, he is my refuge still ; He is my fortress, and my God; and in him trust 1 will. 3 Assuredly he shall thee save, and give deliverance - From subtile fowler’s snare, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 His feathers shall thee hide; thy trust, under his wings shall be : His faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler unto thee, 5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid for terrors of the night, Nor for the arrow that doth fly by day while it is light: 6 Nor for the pestilence, that walks in darkness secretly ; Nor for destruction, that doth waste at noon-day openly. 7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, on thy right hand shall lie Ten thousand dead; yet unto thee it shall not once come nigh, 8 Only thou with thine eyes shalt look, and a beholder be ; And thou therein the just reward of wicked men shalt see. 9 Because the Lord, who constantly my refuge is alone, Ev’n the Most High, is made by thee thy habitation : 10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come, no ill shall thee befall. Il For thee to keep in all thy ways his angels charge he shall. 12 They in their hand shall bear thee up still waiting thee upon ; Lest thou at any time should'st dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread, and on the lion strong; Thy feet on dragons trample shall, and on the lions young. 14 Becanse on me he set his love, I’ll save and set him free; Because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high. 15 He’ll call on me, I’ll answer him; I will be with him still In trouble, to deliver him ; and honour him I will. 16 With length of days unto his mind, I will him satisfy ; I also my salvation will cause his eyes to see. PSALM 92. O render thanks unto the Lord it is a comely thing. And to thy name, O thou Most High, due praise aloud to sing: 2 Thy loving-kindness to show forth, when shines the morning light; And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure ev’ry night. 3. On a ten-stringed instrument, upon the psaltery ; And on the harp with solemn sound and grave sweet melody. 4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works, hast made my heart right glad ; And I will triumph in the works which by thine hands were made. 5 How great, Lord, are thy works! each thought of thine a deep it is. 6 A brutish man it knoweth not ; fools understand not this. 7 When those that lewd and wicked are spring quickly up like grass, And workers of iniquity do flourish all apace ; It is that they for ever may destroyed be and slain : 8 But thou, O Lord, art the Most high, for ever to remain. ----- 9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, thine en’mies perish shall ; The workers of iniquity shall be dispersed all. 10 But thou shalt, like unto the horn of th’ unicorn, exalt My horn on high ; thou with fresh oil anoint me also shalt. 11 Mine eye shall also my desire see on mine enemies; Mine ears shall of the wicked hear, that do against me rise. 12 But like the palm-tree, flourishing shall be the righteous one : He shall like to the cedar grow that is in Lebanon. 13 Those that within the house of God are planted by his grace, They shall grow up and flourish all in our God’s holy place. 14 And in old age when others fade, they fruit still forth shall bring; They shall be fat and full of sap, and ay be flourishing. 15 To show that upright is the Lord : he is a rock to me : And he from all unrighteousness is altogether free. PsALM 93. Th; Lord doth reign, and cloth’d is he with majesty most bright: His works do show him cloth’d to be and girt about with might: The world is also 'stablished, that it cannot depart. 2 Thy throne is fix’d of old, and thou from everlasting art. 3 The floods, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice; The floods have lifted up their waves and made a mighty noise. 4 But yet the Lord that is on high, is more of might by far Tham noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are. 5 Thy testimonies ev’ry one in faithfulness excel ; And holiness for ever, Lord, thine house becometh well. PsALM 94. LORD God, unto whom alone all vengeance doth belong; O mighty God, who vengeance own’st shine forth, avenging wrong. 2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth the sov’reign Judge that art; And unto those that are so proud a due reward impart. 3 How long, O mighty God, shall they who lewd and wicked be, How long shall they who wicked are, thus triumph haughtily 2 4 How long shall things most hard by them be uttered and told 2 And all that work iniquity to boast themselves be bold 2 5 Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord, thine heritage oppress: 6 The widow they and stranger slay, and kill the fatherless. 7 Yet say they, God it shall not see; nor God of Jacob know. 8 Ye brutish people ! understand : fools : when wise will ye grow. 9 The Lord did plant the ear of man, and hear then shall not he 2 He only form'd the eye, and then shall he not clearly see 2 10 He that the nations doth correct, shall he not chastise you ? He knowledge unto man doth teach, and shall himself not know 2 11 Man’s thoughts to be but vanity the Lord doth well discern. 12 Bless'd is the man thou chast’nest, Lord, and mak’st thy law to learn : 13 That thou may’st give him rest from days of sad adversity, Until the pit be digg’d for those that work iniquity. 14 For sure the Lord will not cast off those that his people be, Neither his own inheritance quit and forsake will he. 15 But judgment unto righteousness shall yet return again ; And all shall follow after it that are right-hearted men. 16 Who will rise up for me against those that do wickedly 2 Who will stand up for me 'gainst those that work iniquity ? 17 Unless the Lord had been my help when I was sore opprest, Almost my soul had in the house of silence been at rest. 18 When I had uttered this word, my foot doth slip away; Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, thy goodness did me stay. 19 Amidst the multitude of thoughts which in my heart do fight, My soul, lest it be overcharg’d, thy comforts do delight. 20 Shall of iniquity the throne have fellowship with thee, Which mischief, cunningly contriv'd, doth by a law decree ? 21 Against the righteous souls they join, they guiltless blood condemn. 22 But of my refuge God’s the rock, and my defence from them. 23 On them their own iniquity the Lord shall bring and lay, And cut them off in their own sin; our Lord God shall them slay. PsALM 95. COME, let us sing to the Lord ; come, let us ev’ry one, A joyful noise make to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice; Let us sing psalms to him with grace, and make a joyful noise. 3 For God, a great God, and great king, above all gods he is. 4 Depths of the earth are in his hand; the strength of hills is his. 5 To him the spacious sea belongs, for he the same did make ; The dry land also from his hands its form at first did take. 6 O come, and let us worship him, let us bow down withal; And on our knees before the Lord our Maker let us fail. 7 For he’s our God; the people we of his own pasture are, And of his hand the sheep: to-day if ye his voice will hear, 8 Then harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, As in the desert on the day of the temptation , Give ye the glory to the Lord that to his name is due : Come ye into his courts, and bring an offering with you. In beauty of his holiness, O do the Lord adore ; Likewise let all the earth threughout tremble his face before. 9 10 Among the heathen say, God reigns, the world shall steadfastly Be fix’d from moving ; he shall judge the people righteously. 11 Let heav’ns be glad before the Lord and let the earth rejoice; Let seas, and all that is therein, Cry out and make a noise. 12 Let fields rejoice, and ev’ry thing that springeth of the earth ; Then woods and ev’ry tree shall sing with gladness and with mirth, 13 Before the Lord ; because he comes, to judge the earth comes he ; He'll judge the world with righteous- ness, the people faithfully. PsALM 97. OD reigneth, let the earth be glad, and isles rejoice each one. 2 Dark, clouds him compass; right with judgment dwells his throne. 3 Fire goes before him, and his foes it burns up round about, 4 His lightnings lighten did the world; earth saw and shook throughout. and in 5 Hills at the presence of the Lord, like wax did melt away; Ev’n at the presence of the Lord of all the earth, I say. 6 The heav'n's declare his right?ousness all men his glory see. 7 All who serve graven images, confounded let them be ; Who do of idols boast themselves, let shame upon them fall : Ye that are called gods, see that ye do him worship all. 8 Zion did hear and joyful was, glad Judah’s daughters were ; They much rejoic’d, O Lord, because thy judgments did appear. 9 For thou, O Lord, art high above all things on earth that are Above all other gods thou art exalted very far. 10 Hate ill, all ye that love the Lord ; his saints souls” keepeth he . And from the hands of wicked men he sets them safe and free. 11 For all those that be righteous sown is a joyful light, And gladness sown is for all thos that are in heart upright. 12 Ye righteous in the Lord rejoice, express your thankfulness, When ye into your memory do call his holiness.

SING a new song to the Lord, for wonders he hath done ; His right hand and his holy arm him victory hath won. 2 The Lord God his salvation hath caused to be known ; His justice in the heathen’s sight he openly hath shown. 3 He mindful of his grace and truth to Isr’el’s house hath been : And the salvation of our God all ends of th” earth have seen. 4 Let all the earth unto the Lord send forth a joyful noise ; Liſt up your voice aloud to him, sing praises and rejoice. 5 With harp, with harp, and voice of psalms, unto JEHOVAH sing: 6. With trumpets, cornets, gladly sound before the Lord the King. 7 Let seas and all their fulness roar, the world, and dwellers there : 8 Let floods clap hands, and let the hills together joy declare, 9 Before the Lord ; because he comes, to judge the earth cornes he ; He'll judge the world with righteous- ness, his folk with equity. Ps ALM 99. H’ eternal Lord doth reign as King ; let all the people quake: He sits between the cherubims, let th” earth be mov’d and shake. 2 The Lord in Zion great and high above all people is : 3 Thy great and dreadful name (for it is holy) let them bless. 4 The King’s strength also judgment loves; thou settiest equity: Just judgment thou dost execute in Jacob righteously. 5 The Lord our God exalt on high, and rev'rently do ye Before his footstool worship him : the holy One is he. 6 Moses and Aaron 'mong his priests, Samuel, with them that call Upon his name: these call’d on God, and he them answer’d ali. 7 Within the pillar of the cloud he unto them did speak : The testimonies he them taught, and laws, they did not break. 8 Thou answer'dst them, O Lord our God ; thou wast a God that gave Pardon to them, though on their deeds thou wouldest vengeance have. 9 Do ye exalt the Lord our God: and at his holy hill Do ye him worship : for the Lord our God is holy still. PsALM 100. A"; people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. 2 Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell ; Come ye before him and rejoice. 3 Know that the Lord is God indeed : Without our aid he did us make : We are his flock, he doth us feed, And for his sheep he doth us take. 4 O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto ; Praise, iaud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do. 5 For why the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure : His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure. Jānother o the same. O ALL ye lands unto the Lord, make ye a joyful noise. 2 Serve God with gladness, him before come with a singing voice. 3 Know ye the Lord that he is God: not we, but he us made ; We are his people, and the sheep within his pasture fed. 4 Enter his gates and courts with praise, to thank him go ye thither: To him: express your thankfulness, and bless his name together. 5 Because the Lord our God is good : his mercy faileth never; PSALMS XCVIII.

O LORD, unto my pray’r give ear, my cry let come to thee. 2 And in the day of my distress hide not thy face from me: Give ear to me; what time I call, to answer me make haste. , 3 For, as an hearth, my bones are burnt, my days like smoke do waste. 4 My heart within me smitten is, and it is withered Like very grass: so that I do forget to eat my bread. 5 By reason of my groaning voice my bones cleave to my skin. 6 Like pelican in wilderness forsaken I have been. I like an owl in desert am, that nightly there doth moan : 7 I watch, and like a sparrow am on the house-top alone. 8 My bitter en’mies all the day reproaches cast on me ; And, being mad at me, with rage against me sworn they be. 9 For why? I ashes eaten have like bread, in sorrows deep ; My drink I also mingled have with tears that [ did weep. 10 Thy wrath and indignation did cause this grief and pain; For thou hast lift” me up on high, and cast nie down again. 11 My days are like unto a shade, which doth declining pass; And I am dried and withered, ev’m like unto the grass. 12 But thou, Lord, everlasting art, and thy remembrance shall Continually endure, and be to generations all. 13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy have upon thy Zion yet; The time to favour her is come, the time that thou hast set. 14 For in her rubbish and her stones thy servants pleasure take, Yea, they the very dust thereof do favour for her sake. 15 So shall the heathen people fear the Lord’s most holy name : And all the kings on earth shall dread thy glory and thy fame. 16 When Zion by the mighty Lord built up again shall be, In glory then and majesty to men appear sha’ſ he. 17 The prayer of the destitute he surely will regard ; Their prayer will he not despise, by him it shall be heard. 18 For generations yet to come this shall be on record : So shall the people that shall be created, praise the Lord. 19 He from his sanctuary's height hath downward cast his eye ; And to all generations his truth endureth ever. And from his glorious throne in heav'n the Lord the earth did spy; 20 That of the mournful prisoner the groanings he might hear, To set thern free, that unto death take thou me not away : From age to age eternally thy years endure and stay. 25 The firm foundations of the earth of old time thou hast laid : The heavens also are the work which thine own hands have made, 26 Thou shalt for evermore endure, but they shall perish all : Yea, ey’ry one of them wax old, like to a garment, shall : Thou, as a vesture, shalt them change, and they shall changed be : 27 But thou the same art, and thy years are to eternity. |28 The children of thy servants shall continually endure ; And in thy sight, O Lord, their seed shall be establish’d sure.

My days like smoke consume away, And, as an hearth, my bones do burn. 3 My heart is wounded very sore, And withered, like grass doth fade: I am forgetful grown therefore To take and eat my daily bread. By reason of miy smart within, And voice of my most grievous groans, My flesh consumed is, my skiil, All parch’d doth cleave unto my bones. . 5 6 The pelican of wilderness, The owl in desert I do match : And sparrow-like, companionless, Upon the houses’ top I watch. I all day long am made a scorn, Reproach’d by my malicious foes; The madmen are against me sworn, The men against me that arose. 9 For I have ashes eaten up, To me as if they had been bread : And with my drink [ in my cup Of bitter tears a mixture made. 10 Because thy wrath was not appeas'd And dreadful indignation ; Therefore it was that thou me rais’d and thou again did cast me down. My days are like a shade alway, Which doth declining swiftly pass ; And I am withered away, Much like unto the fading grass. But thou, O Lord, shalt still endure From change and all mutation free, And to all generations sure Shall thy remembrance ever be 12 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet Thou to mount Zion shalt extend ; Her time for favour which was set Behold is now come to an end. Thy saints take pleasure in her stones, Her very dust to them is dear. All heathen lands and kingly thrones, On earth thy glorious name shall fear. 14 15 16 I God in his glory shall appear, When Zion he builds and repairs.

O THOU my soul, bless God the Lord ; and all that in me is Be stirred up ; his holy name to magnify and bless. 2 Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God ; and not forgetful be Of all his gracious benefits he hath bestow'd on thee. 3 All thine iniquities who doth most graciously forgive ; Who thy diseases all and pains doth heal and thee relieve : 4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou to death may’st not go down ; Who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown ; 5 Who with abundance of good things doth satisfy thy mouth ; So that, ev’n as the eagle’s age, renewed is thy youth. 6 God righteous judgment executes for all oppressed ones. 7 His ways to Moses, he his acts made known to Isr’el’s sons. 8 The Lord our God is merciful, and he is gracious, Ilong-suffering, and slow to wrath, in mercy plentedus. 9 He will not chide continually, nor keep his anger still. 10 With us he dealt not as we sinn’d, nor did requite our ill. II For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far ; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are. 12 As far as east is distant from the west, so far hath he From us removed, in his love, all our iniquity. 13 Such pity as a father hath unto his children dear; Like pity shows the Lord to such as worship him in fear. 14 For he remembers we are dust, and he our frame well knows. 15 Frail man, his days are like the grass, as flow’r in field he grows: 16 For over it the wind doth pass, and it away is gone ; 3 [3 2. With ight, as with a robe, thyself thou coverest about : And, like unto a curtain, thou the heavens stretchest out. Who of his chambers doth the beams within the waters lay ; Who doth the clouds his chariot make on Wings of wind make way: Who ſlaming fire his ministers, his angels sp'rits doth make 5 Who earth's foundations did lay, that it should never shake. 4 Thou didst it cover with the deep, as with a garment spread ; The waters stood above the hills, when thou the word but said. 7 But at the voice of thy rebuke they fled, and would not stay; They at thy thunder’s dreadful voice did haste then fast away. 8 They by the Inountains do ascend, and by the valley-ground Descend, unto that very place which thou for them didst found Thou hast a bound unto them set, tliat they may not pass over; That they do not return again the face of earth to cover. 9 10 He to the valleys sends the springs, which run among the hills : 11 They to all beasts of fields give drink wild asses drink their fills. 12. By them the fowls of heav'n shall have - their habitation, Which do among the branches sing With delectation. 13 He from his chambers watereth the hills when they are dried : With fruit and increase of thy works the earth is satisfied. 14 For cattle he makes grass to grow, he maks the herb to spring For th’ use of man, that food to him he from the earth may bring: 15 And wine, that to the heart of man doth cheerfulness impart, Oil that his face makes shine, and bread that strengtheneth his heart. 16 The trees of God are full of sap ; the cedars that do stand In Lebanon, which planted were by his almighty hand. 17 Birds of the air, upon their boughs do choose their nests to make : As for the stork, the fir-tree she doth ſor her dwelling take. 18 The lofty mountains for wild goats. a place of refuge be ; The conies also to the rocks. do for their safety flee. 19 He sets the moon in heav'n, thereby the seasons to discern : From him the sun his certain time of going down doth learn. 20 Thou darkness mak’st, 'tis night, then beasts of forests creep abroad. . 21 The lions young roar for their prey, and seek their meat from God. And of the place where once it was, 22 The sun doth rise, and home they it shall no more he known. 17 But unto them that do him fear God’s mercy never ends ; And to their children’s children still his righteousness extends: 18 To such as keep his covenant, and mindful are alway Of his most just commandments, that they may them obey. 19 The Lord prepared hath his throne in heavens firm to stand ; And ev’ry thing that being hath his kingdom doth command. 20 O ye his angels, that excel in strength, bless ye the Lord ; Ye who obey what he commands, and hearken to his word. 21 O bless and magnify the Lord, ye glorious hosts of his ; Ye ministers that do fulfil whate’er his pleasure is. 22 O bless the Lord, all ye his works, where with the world is stor’d In his dominions ev’ry where. My soul bless thou the Lord. PsALM 104. LESS God, my soul. O Lord my God, thou art exceeding great ; With honour and with majesty thou clothed art in state- flock, down in their dens they lie. 23 Man goes to work, his labour he doth to the evening ply. 24 How manifold, Lord, are thy works: in wisdom wonderful Thou ev’ry one of them hast made ; earth’s of thy riches full : 25 So is this great and spacious sea, where in things creeping are, Which number'd cannot be ; and, beasts both great and small are there; 26 There ships go ; there thou mak’st to pla x that leviathan great. - 27 These all wait on thee, that thou may’st in due time give them meat. 28 That which thou givest unto them, they gather for their food ; Thine hand thou open’st lib’rally, they filled are with good. 29 Thou hid'st thy face, they troubled are, their breath thou tak’st away; Then do they die, and to their dust return again do they. 30 Thy quick’ning Spirit thou send'st forth, then they created be ; And then the earth’s decayed face- renewed is by thee t 3. | 4. 3: The glory of the mighty Lord continue shall for ever: º The Lord JEHOVAH shall rejoice in all his works together 32 Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all if he on it but look ; And if the mountains he but touch, they presently do sunoke. . . 33 I will sing to the Lord most high, so long as I shall live ; And while I being have I shall to my God praises give. Q 34 Of him my meditation shall sweet thoughts to me afford ; And as for me, I will rejoice in God, my only Lord. 35 From earth ſet sinners be consum’d, let ill men no more be. O thou my soul, bless thou the Lord, Praise to the Lord give ye. |2 3 PsALM 105. IVE thanks to God ; call on his maine: to men his deeds make known. Sing ye to him, sing psalms; proclaim his wondrous works each one. 3 See that ye in his holy name to glory do accord : And let the heart of ev’ry one rejoice that seeks the Lord. 3 4 The Lord almighty, and his strength, 13 with steadfast hearts seek ye : His blessed and his gracious face seek ye continually. 5 Think on the works that he hath done, which admiration breed; His wonders, and the judgments all which from his mouth proceed. 3 6 O ye that are of Ab’ram’s race, his servants well approv’n ; And ye that Jacob’s children are, whom ye chose for his own. 7 Because he, and he only, is the mighty Lord our God ; And his most righteous judgments are in all the earth abroad. 4 8. His covenant he remember'd hath, that it may ever stand : To thousand generations the word he did command. 9 Which covenant he firmly made with faithful Abraham, 25 2 7 29 3 38 39 And Jacob also sojourned within the land of Ham. 24 And he did greatly by his pow'r increase his people there ; And stronger than their enemies they by his blessing were. Their hearts he turned to envy his folk maliciously, With those that his own servants Węre to deal in subtilty. 6 His servant Moses he did send ; Aaron his chosen one ; By these his signs and wonders great in Ham’s land were made known. Darkness he sent, and made it dark ; his word they did obey. He turn’d their waters into blood, and he their fish did slay. 8 0 The land, in plenty, brought forth frogs in chambers of their kings. His word all sorts of flies and lice in all their borders brings. l 32 He hailed for rain, and flaming fire 33 into their land he sent: And he their vines and fig-trees smote ; trees of their coast he rent. 4 5 He spake, and caterpillars came, locusts did much abound ; Which in their land all herbs Con- sum’d, and all fruits of their ground. He smote all first-born in their land, chief of their strength each one. With gold and silver brought them forth ; weak in their tribes were none. Egypt was glad when forth they went, their fear on them did light. He spread a cloud for covering, and fire to shine by night. They ask'd, and he brought quails; with bread of heav’n he fill?d them. He open’d rocks, floods gush'd, and rail in deserts like a stream. For on his holy promise he, and servant Abr”ham, thought. With joy his people, his elect with gladness forth he brought. And unto Isaac, by his oath, 44 And unto them the pleasant lands he did renew the same : he of the heathen gave ; That of the people’s labour they 10 And unto Jacob, for a law, inheritance might have. he made it firm and sure, A covenant to Israel, 45 That they his statutes might observe which ever should endurc: 11 He said, I’ll give Canaan’s land for heritage to you. 12 While they were strangers there, and few in number, very few ; 13 While yet they went from land to land without a sure abode ; And while, thro’ sundry kingdoms, they 2 did wander far abroad : 3 14 Yet notwithstanding suffer'd he no man to do them Wrong ; Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove 4 kings, who were great and strong. 15 Thus did he say, Touch ye not those that mine anointed be, Nor do the prophets any harm that do pertain to me. 16 He call’d for famine on the land, he brake the staff of bread : I7 But yet he sent a man before, by whom they should be fed ; 5 6 Ev’n Joseph, whom unnatºrally sell for a slave did they : 18 Whose feet with fetters they did hurt, and he in irons lay ; 19 Until the time that his word came to give him liberty : The word and purpose of the Lord did him in prison try. 7 20 Then sent the king, and did command that he enlarg’d should be : He that the people’s ruler was did send to set him free. 21 A lord, to rule his family he rais’d him, as most fit ; To him of all that he possess'd he did the charge commit : 8 9 22 That he might at his pleasure bind the princes of the land ; And he might teach his senators wisdom to understand. 23 The people then of Israel down into Egypt came ; G' according to his word : And that they might his laws obey. Give praise unto the Lord. PsALM 106. VE praise and thanks unto the Lord, for bountiful is he ; His tender mercy doth endure unto eternity. God’s mighty works who can express, or show forth all his praise 2 Blessed are they that judgment keep, and justly do always. Remember me, Lord, with that love which thou to thine dost bear; With thy salvation, O my God, to visit me draw near : That I thy chosen’s good may see, and in their joy rejoice ; And may with thine inheritance triumph with cheerful voice. We with our fathers sinned have, and of iniquity Too long we have the workers been ; we have done wickedly. The wonders great, which thou, O Lord, didst work in Egypt land, Our fathers, though they saw, yet them they did not understand : And they thy mercies’ multitude kept not in memory ; But at the sea, ev’n the Red sea, provok'd him grievously. Nevertheless he saved them, ev’n for his own name’s sake ; That so he might to be well known his mighty power make. When he the Red sea did rebuke, then dried up it was : Thro' depths, as thro’ the wilderness, he safely made them pass. 10 From hands of those that hated them, he did his people save : And ſrom the en’my’s cruel hand to them redemption gave.

They stain’d with their own way, And with their own inventions a whoring they did stray. 39 40 Against his people kindled was the wrath of God therefore, Insomuch that he did his own inheritance abhor. 41 He gave them to the heathen’s hand ; their foes did them command. 42 Their en’mies them opprest, they Were made subject to their hand. 43 He many times deliver'd them, but with their counsel so 46 6 They him provok'd, that for their sin they were brought very low. 44 Yet their affliction he beheld, when he did hear their cry : 45 And he for them his covenant did call to nuemory: After his mercies’ multitude He did repent ; and made Them to be pitied of all those who did them captive lead. 47 O Lord our God, us save, and gather the heathen from among, That we thy holy name may praise in a triumphant song. 48 Bless'd be JEHOVAH, Isrºel’s God, to all eternity: Let all the people say, Amen. Praise to the Lord give ye. PSALM 107. RAISE God for he is good : for still his mercies lasting be. P 2 Let God’s redeem’d say so, whom he from th” en’my’s hand did free : 3 And gather'd them out of the lands, from north, south, east, and west. 4 They stray’d in deserts pathless way, no city found to rest. 5 For thirst and hunger in them faints their soul. When straits them press, They cry unto the Lord, and he them frees from their distress. 7 Them also in a way to walk that right is, he did guide, That they might to a city go, wherein they might abide. 8 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men : 9 For he the soul that longing is doth fully satisfy : With goodness he the hungry soul doth fill abundantly. 10 Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death’s shade abide, Whom strongly hath affliction bound, and irons fast have tied ; 11 Because against the words of God they wrought rebelliously, And they the counsel did contemn of him that is most high : 12 Their heart he did bring down with grief, they fell, no help could have. 13 In trouble then they cried to God, he them from straits did save. 14 He out of darkness did them bring, and from death’s shade them take Those bands where with they had been bound asunder quite he brake. 15 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men ; 16 Because the mighty gates of brass in pieces he did tear, By him in sunder also cut the bars of iron Were. 17 Fools, for their sin, and their offence, do sore affliction bear; 18 All kinds of meat their soul abhors; they to death’s gates draw near. 19 In grief they cry to God; he saves them from their miseries. 20 He sends his word, them heals, and thern from their destruction frees. 21 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of Wonder done unto the sons of men ; 22 And let them sacrifice to him off?rings of thankfulness; And let them show abroad his works in songs of joyfulness. 23 Who go to sea in ships, and in great waters trading be ; works and his great wonders see. 24 Within the deep these men God’s 25 For he commands, and forth in haste the stormy tempest flies, Which makes the sea with rolling waves aloft to swell and rise. 26 They mount to heav'n, then to the depths they do go down again ; Their soul doth faint, and melt away with trouble and with pain. 27 They reel and stagger like one drunk, at their wits’ end they be ; 28 Then they to God in trouble cry, who them from straits doth free. 29 The storm is chang'd into a calm at his command and will ; So that the waves, which rag’d be fore, now quiet are and still. 30 Then are they glad, because at rest and quiet now they be ; So to the haven he them brings which they desir'd to see. 31 O that men to the Lord would give praise for his goodness then, And for his works of wonder done unto the sons of men ; 32 Among the people gathered, let them exalt his name ; Among assembled elders spread his inost renowned fame. 33 He to dry land turns water-springs, and floods to wilderness ; 34 For sins of those that dwell therein fat land to barrenness. 35 The burnt and parched wilderness to water-pools he brings, The ground that was dried up before he turns to water-springs. 36 And there, for dwelling, he a place doth to the hungry give, That they a city may prepare commodiously to live : 37 There sow they fields, and vineyards plant, to yield fruits of increase. 38 His blessing makes them multiply lets not their beasts decrease 39 Again they are diminished, and very low brought down, Through sorrow and affliction, and great oppression. 40 He upon princes pours contempt, and causeth them to stray, And wander in a wilderness wherein there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from all his miseries : And he much like unto a flock doth make him families. 42 They that are righteous shall rejoice when they the same shall see ; And, as ashamed, stop her mouth shall all iniquity. 43 Whoso is wise, and will these things observe, and them record, Ev’n they shall understand the love and kindness of the Lord.

Praise ye the Lord. PsALM 116. LOVE the Lord, because my voice and prayers he did hear. 2 I, while I live, will call on him, Who bowed to me his ear. 3 Of death the cords and sorrows did about me compass round, The pains of hell took hold on me : I grief and trouble found. 4. Upon the name of God the Lord then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, I do thee humbly pray. 5 God merciful and righteous is, yea, gracious is our Lord. 6 God, saves the meek: I was brought low, he did me help afford. 7 O thou my soul, do thou return unto thy quiet rest; For largely, lo, the Lord to thee his bounty hath exprest. 8 For my distressed soul from death deliver'd was by thee; Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears, my feet from falling, free. |9 I in the land of those that live will walk the Lord before. 10 I did believe, therefore I spake. I was afflicted sore. 11 I said, when I was in my haste, that all men liars be. 12 What shall I render to the Lord for all his gifts to me? 13 I’ll of salvation take the cup, on God’s name will I call. 14 I’ll pay my vows now to the Lord before his people all. 5 Dear in God’s sight is his saints’ death. Thy servant, Lord, am I; Thy servant sure, thine handmaid’s 16 * I in distress call’d on the Lord: the Lord did answer me. He in a large place did me set, from trouble made me free. 6 The mighty Lord is on my side, I will not be afraid : For any thing that man can do I shall not be dismay’d. 7 The Lord doth take my part with them that help to succour ºne ; Therefore on those that do me hate I my desire shall see. 3 Better it is to trust in God than trust in man’s defence; 9 Better to trust in God, than make princes our confidence. 2 For mouths of wicked men to speak against me do not cease : The mouths of vile deceitful men against me open’d be ; And with it false and lying tongue they have accused me. 3 They did beset me round about with words of hateful spite ; And though to them no cause I gave, against me they did fight. 4 They for my love became my foes ; but I me set to pray. 5 Evil for good, hatred for love, to me they did repay. 6 Set thou the wicked over him ; and upon his right hand Give thou his greatest enemy, ev’n Satan, leave to stand. 7 And when by thee he shall be judg’d, let him condemned be And let his pray’r be turn’d to sin, when he shall call oil thee. 8 Few be his lays, and in his room his charge another take. 9 His children let be fatherless, his wife a widow make. 10 His children let be vagabonds, and beg continually ; And from their places desolate seek bread for their supply. 11 Let covetous extortioners catch all he hath a Way: Of all for which he labour’d hath let strangers make a prey. 12 Let there be none to pity him : let there be none at all That on his children, fatherless, will let his mercy fall. 13 Let his posterity from earth cut off for ever be ; And in the follºwing age their name be blotted out by thee. 14 Let God his ſather’s wickedness still to remembrance call ; And never let his mother’s sin be blotted out at all. 15 But let them all before the Lord appear continually, That he may wholly from the earth cut off their memory ; 16 Because he mercy minded not, but persecuted still The poor and needy, that he might the broken-hearted kill. 17 As he in cursing pleasure took, so let it to him fail ; As he delighted not to bless, so bless him, not at all. 18 As cursing he like clothes put on, into his bowels so, Like water, and into his bones like oil, down let it go. 19 Like to the garment let it be which doth himself array, And for a girdle where with he is girt about alway. 20 From God let this be their reward that en’mies are to me, And their reward that speak against my soul maliciously. 21 But do thou for thine own name’s Sake, O God the Lord, for me; Sith good and sweet thy mercy is from trouble set me free. 22 For I am poor and indigent, afflicted sore am I, My heart within me also is wounded exceedingly. 23 [ pass like a declining shade, am like the locust tost. 24 My knees through fasting weaken’d are, my flesh hath fatness lost. 25 I also am a vile reproach unto them made to be ; And they that did upon me look did shake their heads at me. 26 O do thou help and succour me, who art my God and Lord : And, for thy tender mercy’s sake, safety to me afford. 27 That thereby they may know that this is thy almighty hand; And that thou, Lord, hast done the Säine, they may well understand. 28 Although they curse with spite, yet Lord. less thou With loving voice; PSALMS CX.

PsALM 110. THE Lord did say unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes a stool whereon thy feet may stand. 2 The Lord shall out of Zion send the rod of thy great pow'r ; In midst of all thine enemies be thou the governor. all those that 3 A willing people, in thy day of pow'r, shall come to thee, In holy beauties from morn’s womb : thy youth like dew shall be. 4 The Lord himself hath made an oath, - and will repent him never, Of th” order of Melchisedec thou art a priest for ever. 5 The glorious and mighty Lord, that sits at thy right hand, Shall, in his day of wrath, strike thro” kings that do him withstand. 6 He shall among the heathen judge, he shall with bodies dead The places fill : o’er many lands he wound shall ev’ry head. 7 The brook that runneth in the way with drink shall him supply: And, for this cause, in triumph he shall lift his head on high. PsALM 111. PRA. ye the Lord : with my whole heart I will God’s praise declare, Where the assemblies of the just, and congregations are. 2 The whole works of the Lord our God are great above all measure, Sought out they are of ev’ry one that doth therein take pleasure. 3 His work most honourable is, most glorious and pure, And his untainted righteousness for ever doth endure. 4 His works most wonderful he hath made to be thought upon : The Lord is gracious, and he is full of compassion. 5 He giveth meat unto all those that truly do him fear : And evermore his covenant he in his mind will bear. 6 He did the power of his works unto his people show, When he the heathen’s heritage upon them did bestow. 7 His handy works are truth and right; all his commands are sure : 8 And, done in truth and uprightness, they evermore endure. 9 He sent redemption to his folk; his covenant for ay He did command : holy his name and rev’rend is alway. 10 Wisdom’s beginning is God’s fear: good understanding they Have all, that his commands fulfil ; his praise endures for ay. PsALM 112. PRA; ye the Lord. The man is bless’d that fears the Lord aright, He who in his commandments doth greatly take delight. 2 His seed and offspring powerful shall be the earth upon : Of upright men blessed shall be the generation. 3 Riches and Wealth shall ever be within his house in store: And his unspotted righteousness endures for evermore. 4 Unto the upright light doth rise, though he in darkness be : Compassionate, and merciful, and righteous, is he. 5 A good man doth his favour show, and doth to others lend : He with discretion his affairs will guide unto the end. 6 Surely there is not any thing that ever shall him move : The righteous man’s memorial shall everlasting prove. 7 When he shall evil tidings hear, he shall not be afraid : His heart is fix’d, his confidence upon the Lord is stay’d. 8 His heart is firmly 'stablished, afraid he shall not be, Until upon his enemies he his desire shall see. 9 He hath dispers’d, giv'n to the poor; his righteousness shall be To ages all ; with honour shall his horn be raised high. |10 The wicked shall it see, and fret, his teeth gnash, melt away ; What wicked men do most desire shall utterly decay.

I70 Let my request before thee come : after thy word me free. 171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught thy laws to me. 172 My tongue of thy most blessed word shall speak and it confess: Because all thy commandements are perfect righteousness. 173 Let thy strong hand make help to me : thy precepts are my choice. 174 I long’d for thy salvation, Lord, and in thy law rejoice. 175 O let my soul live, and it shall give praises unto thee ; And let thy judgments gracious be helpful unto me. 176 I, like a lost sheep went astray; thy servant seek and find : For thy commands I suff’red not to slip out of my mind. PsALM 120. IN my distress to God I cried, and he gave ear to me. 2 From lying lips, and guileful tongue, Lord my soul set free. 3 What shall be giv'n thee 3 or what shall be done to thee, false tongue 2 4 Ev'n burning coals of junipcr; sharp arrows of the strong. 5 Wo’s me that I in Meshech am a sojourner So long; That I in tabernacles dwell to Kedar that belong. 6 My soul with him that hateth peace hath long a dweller been. 7 I am for peace: but when I speak, for battle they are keen. PsALM 121. I TO the hills will lift mine eyes, from whence doth come mine aid. 2 My safety cometh from the Lord, who heav’n and earth hath made. 3 Thy foot he’ll not let slide, nor will he slumber that thee keeps. 4 Behold, he that keeps Israel, he slumbers not nor Sleeps. 5 The Lord thee keeps; the Lord thy shade on thy right hand doth stay: 6 The moon by night thee shall not Smite, nor yet the sum by day. 7 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall preserve thee from all ill. 8 Henceforth thy going out and in God keep for ever will. PsALM 122. JOY’D when to the house of God, Go up they said to me. 2 Jerusalem, within thy gates our feet shall standing be. 3 Jerus’lem, as a city, is compactly built together: 4 Unto that place the tribes go up, the tribes of God go thither, To Isr’el’s testimony, there to God’s name thanks to pay. 5 For thrones of judgiment, ev’n the thrones of David’s house there stay. 6 Pray that Jerusalem may have peace and felicity: Let them that love thee, and thy peace, have still prosperity. 7 Therefore I wish, that peace may still, within thy walls remain, And ever may thy palaces prosperity retain.” 8 Now for my friends and brethren’s 8akes, Peace be in thee I’ll say 9 And for the house of God our Lord, I’ll seek thy good alway. PsALM 123. O THOU, that dwellest in the heav'ns, - I lift mine eyes to thee. 2 Behold, as servants’ eyes do look their masters’ hand to see ; hand ; * so do our eyes attend Upon the Lord our God, until to us he mercy send. 3 O Lord, to us be gracious, unto us gracious be ; Because replenish’d with contempt exceedingly are we. 4 Our soul is fill’d with scorn of those that at their ease abide, And with the insolent contempt of those that swell in pride. PsALM 124. HA. not the Lord been on our side, may Israel now say ; 2 Had not the Lord been on our side, when men rose us to slay: 3 They had us swallow’d quick, when as their wrath 'gainst us did flame : 4 Waters had cover'd us, our soul had sunk beneath the stream. 5 Then had the waters, swelling high, over our soul made way. 6 Bless'd be the Lord, who to their teeth us gave not for a prey. 7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird out of the fowler’s snare ; The snare asunder broken is, and we escaped are. 8 Our sure and all sufficient help is in JEHOVAH'S name; His name who did the heav'n create and who the earth did frame. Jłnother of the same. OW Israel may say, and that truly, If that the Lord had not our cause maintain’d ; 2 If that the Lord had not our right sustain'd, When cruel men against us furiously Rose up in wrath to make of us their prey; 3 Then certainly they had devour’d us all, And swallow’d quick, for aught that we could deem : Such was their rage, as we might well esteem : 4 And as fierce floods before them all things drown, So had they brought our soul to death quite down. 5 The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves, Had then our soul o’erwhelmed in the deep. 6 But bless'd be God, who doth us safely keep, And hath not giv'n us for a living prey Unto their teeth and bloody cruelty. 7 Ev’n as a bird out of the fowler’s snare, Escapes away, so is our soul set free ; Broke are their nets, and thus escaped we. 8 Therefore our help is in the Lord’s great name ; Who heav’n and earth by his great pow'r did frame. PsALM 125. Tº in the Lord that firmly trust shall be like Zion hill, Which at no time can be remov’d, but standeth ever still. 2 As round about Jerusalem the mountains stand alway, The Lord his folk doth compass so from henceforth, and for ay. 3 For ill men’s rod upon the lot of just men shall not lie ; - Ilest righteous men stretch forth their hands unto iniquity. 4 Do thou to all those that be good thy goodness, Lord, impart ; And do thou good to those that are upright within their heart. As handmaid’s eyes her mistress', £SALMS CXX. CXXXVI 5 But as for such as turn aside after their crooked way, God shall lead forth with wicked men: on Isr’el peace shall stay. PsALM 126. ATHEN Zion's bondage God turn’d back, as men that dream’d were we. Then fill’d with laughter was our mouth, - our tongue with melody; They 'mong the heathem said, The Lord great things for them hath wrought. 3 The Lord hath done great things for us; whence joy to us is brought. 4 As streams of water in the south, our bondage, Lord, recall. 5 Who sow in tears, a reaping-time of joy enjoy they shall. 6 That man who, bearing precious seed, in going forth doth mourn, He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves, rejoicing shall return. PSALM 127. XCEPT the Lord do build the house the builders lose their pain : Except the Lord the city keep, the watchmen watch in vain. 2 ”Tis vain for you to rise betimes, or late from rest to keep, To feed on sorrow’s bread: so gives he his beloved sleep. 3 Lo, children are God’s heritage; the womb’s fruit his reward. 4 The sons of youth as arrows are, for strong men’s hands prepar’d. 5 O happy is the man that hath his quiver fill’d with those ; They unashamed in the gate shall speak unto their foes. PsALM 128. LESS’’D is each one that fears the Lord, and walketh in his ways: 2 For of thy labour thou shalt eat, and happy be always. Thy wife shall, as a fruitful vine, by thy house sides he found ; Thy children, like to olive-plants, about thy table round. 4 Behold, the man that fears the Lord thus blessed shall he be. 5 The Lord shall out of Zion give his blessing unto thee: Thou shalt Jerus’lem's good behold, whilst thou on earth dost dwell. 6 Thou shaſt thy children’s children see, and peace on Israel. PSALM 129. O”. did they vex me from my youth, may Isr’el now declare ; 2 Oft did they vex me from my youth ; yet not victorious were. 3 The plowers plow’d upon my back; they long their furrows drew. 4 The righteous Lord did cut the cords of the ungodly crew. 5 Let Zion’s haters all be turn’d back with confusion. 6 As grass on houses’ tops be they, which fades ere it be grown : 7. Whereof enough to fill his hand the mower cannot find ; Nor can the man his bosom fill, whose work is sheaves to bind. 8 Neither say they who do go by, God’s blessing on you rest: We in the name of God the Lord do wish you to be blest. PsALM 130. Lº from the depths to thee I cried. 2 My voice, Lord, do thou hear; Unto my supplications’ voice give an attentive ear. º 3 Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O ord should'st mark iniquity ? 4 But yet with thee forgiveness is, that fear'd thou mayest be. 5 I wait for God, my soul doth wait, my hope is in his word. watch, my soul waits for the Lord ; I say, more than they that do watch the morning light to see. 7 Let Israel hope in the Lord, for with him mercies be ; 6 More than they that for morning And plenteous redemption is ever found with him. 8 And from all his iniquities he Israel shall redeem. PsALM 131. Y heart not haughty is, O Lord, mine eyes not lofty be ; Nor do I deal in matters great, or things too high for me. 2 I surely have myself behav’d with quiet sp?rit and mild, As child of mother wean’d ; my soul is like a weaned child. 3. Upon the Lord let all the hope of Israel rely ; Ev’n from the time that present is unto eternity. . PsALM 132. AVID, and his afflictions all, Lord, do thou think upon ; 2 How unto God he sware and vow’d to Jacob’s mighty One. 3 I will not come within my house, nor rest in bed at all ; 4 Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep, nor eyelids slumber shall ; 5 Till for the Lord a place I find, where he may make abode : A place of habitation for Jacob’s mighty God. 6 Lo, at the place of Ephratah of it we understood ; And we did find it in the fields, and city of the wood. 7 We’ll go into his tabernacles, and at his footstool bow, 8 Arise, O Lord, into thy rest, th’ ark of thy strength, and thou. 9 O let thy priests be clothed, Lord, with truth and righteousness; And let all those that are thy saints shout loud for joyfulness. 10 For thine own servant David’s sake do not deny thy grace ; Nor of thine own Anointed one turn thou away thy face. 11 The Lord in truth to David sware, he will not turn from it, I of thy body’s fruit will make upon thy throne to sit. 12 My cov’nant if thy sons will keep, and laws to them made known, Their children then shall also sit for ever on thy throne. 13 For God of Zion hath made choice; there he desires to dwell. 14 This is my rest, here still I’ll stay ; for I do like it well. 15 Her food I’ll greatly bless; her poor with bread will satisfy. 16 Her priests ſ”Il clothe with health; her 8aints shall shout forth joyfully. 17 And there will I make David’s horn to bud forth pleasantly : For him that inine Anointed is a lamp ordain’d have I. 18 As with a garment I will clothe with shame his en’mies all ; But yet the crown that he doth wear upon him flourish shall. PsALM 133. EHOLD, how good a thing it is, and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell 2 Like precious ointment on the head, that down the beard did flow, Ev’n Aaron’s beard, and to the skirts did of his garments go. 3 As Hermon’s dew, the dew that doth on Zion’s hills descend : For there the blessing God commands life that shall never end. PsALM 134. Bº: bless ye the Lord, all ye that his attendants are, Ev’n yºu that in God’s temple be, and praise him nightly there. 2 Your hands within God’s holy place | lift up, and praise his name. 3 From Zion hill the Lord thee bless, that heav’n and earth did frame.

BY Babel’s streams we sat and wept, when Zion we thought on. 2 In midst thereof we hang’d Our harps, the willow-trees upon. 3 For there a song required they, who did us captive bring : Our spoilers call’d for mirth, and said, A song of Zion sing. 4 O how the Lord’s song shall we sing within a foreign land 3 5 If thee, Jerus’lein, I forget, skill part from my right hand. 6 My tongue to my mouth’s roof let cleave, if I do thee forget, Jerusalem ; and thee above my chief joy do not set. 7 Remember Edom’s children, Lord, who in Jerus’lem’s day, Ev’n unto its foundation, Raze, raze it quite, did say. 8 O daughter thou of Babylon, near to destruction ; Bless'd shall he be that thee rewards, as thou to us hast done. 9 Yea, happy surely shall he be, thy tender little ones Who shall lay hold upon, and them shall dash against the Stones. PsALM 138. Thº will I praise with all my heart; I will sing praise to thee 2 Before the gods. I worship will toward thy Sanctu’ry, And praise thy name, ev’n for thy truth, and kindness of thy love : For thou thy word hast magnified all thy great name above. 3 Thou didst me answer in the day when I to thee did cry; And thou my fainting Soul with strength didst strengthen inwardly. 4 All kings upon the earth that are shall give thee praise, O Lord ; When as they from thy mouth shall h ear thy true and faithful word. 5 Yea, in the righteous ways of God with gladness they shall sing: For great’s the glory of the Lord, who doth for ever reign. 6 Though God be high, yet he respects all those that lowly be : Whereas the proud and lofty ones afar off knoweth he. 7 Though I in midst of trouble walk, I life from thee shall have : 'Gainst my foes’ wrath thou’lt stretch thine hand, thy right hand shall me save. 8 Surely that which concerneth me the Lord will perfect make : Lord, still thy inercy lasts; do not thine own hands’ works forsake. PsALM 139. LORD, thou hast me search’d and known. Thou know'st my sitting down, And rising up ; yea, all my thoughts afar to thee are known. 3 My footsteps, and my lying down, thou compassest always; Thou also most entirely art acquaint With all my ways. J * 4 For in my tongue, before I speak, not any word can be, But altogether, lo, O Lord, it is well known to thee. 5 Behind, before, thou hast beset, and laid on me thine hand. 6 Such knowledge is too 8trange for me; too high to understand. or from thy presence fly P 8 Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there ; there, if in hell I lie. 9 Take I the morning wings, and dwell in utmost parts of sea ; 10 Ev’n there, Lord, shall thy hand me lead, thy right hand hold shall me. 11 If I do say, that darkness shall me cover from thy sight: Then surely shall the very night about me be as light. 12 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee; but night doth shine as day : To thee the darkness and the light are both alike alway. 13 For thou possessed hast my reins; and thou hast cover'd me, When I within my mother’s womb enclosed was by thee. 14 Thee will I praise ; for fearfully and strangely made I am ; Thy works are marv’llous ; and right Well my soul doth know the same. when as in secret I Was made, and in earth’s lowest parts was wrought most curiously. 16 Thine eyes my substance did be- hold yet being unperfect; And in the volume of thy book my members all were writ; Which after in continuance were fashion’d ev’ry one, When as they yet all shapeless were, and of them there was none. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts, O gracious God to me ! And in their sum how passing great and numberless they be . 18 If I should count them, than the sand they more in number be : What time soever I awake, I ever am with thee. 19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay : hence from me bloody men. 20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak, and take they name in vain. 21 Do not I hate all those, O Lord, that hatred bear to thee With those that up against can I but grieved be * 22 With perfect hatred them I hate ; my foes I them do hold. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, my thoughts unfold ; thee rise 24 And see if any wicked way there be at all in me ; And in thine everlasting way to me a leader be.

ORD, from the ill and froward man | give me deliverance ; And do thou safe preserve me from the man of violence; 2 Who in their heart mischievous things are meditating ever; And they for war assembled are continually together. 3 Much like unto a serpent’s tongue their tongues they sharp do make ; And underneath their lips there lies the poison of a snake. - 4 Lord, keep me from the wicked’s hands, from vi’lent men me save ; Who utterly to overthrow my goings purpos'd have. 5 The proud for me a snare have hid, and cords; yea, they a net Have by the way-side for me spread: they gins for me have set. 6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God ; unto the cry Of all my supplications, Lord, do thine ear apply 7 O God the Lord, who art the strength of my salvation ; A cov’ring in the day of war my head thou hast put on. 8 Unto the wicked man, O Lord, his wishes do not grant; Nor further thou his ill device, 15 My substance was not hid from thee, . 7 From thy Sp’rit whither shall I go 2 |9 As for the head and chief of those head : for yet the time shall fall When I in their calamities to God pray for them shall. 6 When as their judges down shall be in stony places cast, Then shall they hear my words; for they shall sweet be to their taste. 7. About the grave’s devouring mouth, our bones are scatter’d round, As wood which men do cut and cleave lies scatter’d on the ground, 8 But unto thee, O God the Lord, mine eyes uplifted be : My soul do not leave destitute ; my trust is set on thee. 9 Lord, keep me safely from the snares which they for me prepare ; And from the subtile gins of them that wicked workers are. 10 Let workers of iniquity into their own nets fall, Whilst I do by thine help escape the danger of them all. PsALM 142. I WITH my voice cried to the Lord, I with it made my request: 2 Pour’d out to him my plaint; to him my trouble I exprest. 3 When in me was overwhelm’d my sp?rit, then well thou knew'st my way • Where I did walk a snare for me they privily did lay. 4 I look’d on my right hand, and view’d ; but none to know me were : All refuge failed me ; no man did for my soul take care. 5 I cried to thee; I said, Thou art my refuge, Lord, alone ; And in the land of those that live thou art my portion. 6 Because I am brought very low, attend unto my cry; Me from my persecutors save, who stronger are than I. 7 From prison bring my soul, that I thy name may glorify ; The just shall compass me, when thou with me deal’st bounteously.

Loß hear my pray’r, attend my - suit ; and in thy faithfulness Give thou an answer unto me, and in thy righteousness. 2 Thy servant also bring thou not in judgment to be tried ; Because no living man can be lest they themselves should vaunt. in thy sight justified. 3 For th’ en’my hath pursu'd my soºt, my life to ground down tread : In darkness he hath made me dwell, as who have long been dead. 4 My sp’rit is therefore overwhelm'd in me perplexedly ; Within me is my very heart amazed wondrously. 5 I call to mind the days of old ; to meditate I use On all thy works; upon the deeds I of thy hands do muse. 6 My hands to thee I stretch ; my soul thirsts, as dry land, for thee. 7 Haste, Lord, to hear, my spirit fails; hide not thy face from me; Lest like to them I do become that go down to the dust. 8. At morn let me thy kindness hear, for in thee do I trust: Teach me the way that I should walk, I lift my soul to thee. 9 Lord, free me from my foes ; I flee to thee to cover me. 10 Because thou art my God, to do thy will do me instruct: Thy Sp’rit is good, me to the land of uprightness conduct. 11 Revive and quicken me, O Lord, ev’n for thine own name’s sake; And do thou, for thy righteousness, my soul from trouble take. 12 And of thy mercy slay my ſocs, let all destroyed be That do afflict my soul : for I a Servalht am to thee. Jāmother of the same. O)" hear my prayer, Lord, And unto my desire To bow thine ear accord, I humbly thce require ; And in thy faithfulness Unto me answer make, And in thy righteousness Upon me pity take. 2 In judgment enter not With me thy servant poor; For why? this well I wot, No sinner can endure, The sight of thee, O God; If thou his deeds shalt try, He dare make none abode Himself to justify. 3 Behold, the cruel foe, Me persecutes with spite, My soul to overthrow : Yea, he my life down quite Unto the ground hath smote, And made me dwell full low In darkness, as forgot, Örmen dead long age. 4 Therefore my sp?rit, much vex'd, O'erwhelm’d is ºne within ; My heart right sore perplex’d And desolate hath been. Yet I do call to mind What ancient days record , Thy works of ev’ry kind I think upon, O Lord. 6 Lo, I do stretch my hands To thee my help alone ; For thou well understand’st All my complaints and moan ; My thirsting soul desires And longeth after thee, As thirsty ground requires With rain refresh’d to be. 7 Lord, let my pray’r prevail, To answer it make speed ; For, lo, my sp?rit doth fail : Hide not thy face in need ; Lest I be like to those That do in darkness sit, Or him that downward goes into the dreadful pit. 8 Because I trust in thee, O Lord, cause me to hear Thy loving-kindness free, When morning doth appear: Cause me to know the Way Wherein my paths should be ; For why 3 my soul on high I do liſt up to thee. 9 From my fierce enemy In safety do me guide ; Because I flee to thee, Lord, that thou may’st me hide My God alone art thou, Teach me thy righteousness; Thy Sp’rit’s good; lead me to The land of uprightness. 10 Iſ O Lord, for thy nume’s sake Be pleas'd to quicken me , And, for thy truth, forth take My soul from misery. 12 And of thy #: destroy My foes, and put to shame All who my soul annoy: For I thy servant am.

I’ll praise God while I live: While I have being, to my God in songs I’ll praises give. 3 Trust not in firinces, nor man’s son, in whom there is no stay : 4 His breath departs, to’s earth he turns; that day his thoughts decay. 2 I9 And from that place, Where fix'd you be By his decree, You cannot pass. 7 Praise God from earth below, Ye dragons, and ye deeps: 8 Fire, hail, clouds, wind, and snow Whom in command he keeps. 9 Praise ye his name, Hills great and small, Trees low and tall; 10 Beasts wild and tame; All things that creep or fly. 11 Ye kings, ye vulgar throng, All princes mean or high : 12 Both men and virgins young; Ev’n young and old, 13 Exalt his name; For much his ſame Should be extoll’d. O let God’s name be prais’d Above both earth and sky: 14 For he his saints hath rais’d And set their horn on high ; Ev’n those that be Of Isr’el’s race, Near to his grace.

Let in their mouth aloft be rais’d the high praise of the Lord, And let theni have in their right hand a sharp two-cdged sword ; 6 7 To execute the vengeance due upon the leathen all, And n:ake deserved punishment upou the people fall : And ev’n with chains, as pris’ners, bind their kings that them command; Yea, and with iron fetters strong, the nobles of their land : 8 9 A rew song I to thee will sing, Lord, on a psaltery ; I on a ten-string’d instrument will praises sing to thee. 10 Ev’n he it is that unto kings - salvation doth send ; Who his own servant David doth from hurtful sword defend. 11 O free me from strange children’s hand, whose mouth speaks vanity; And their right hand a right hand is that works deceitfully. 12 That as the plants our sons may be in youth grown up that are ; Our daughters like to corner-stones, carv’d like a palace fair. 13 That, to afford all kind of store, our garners may be fill’d ; That our sheep thousands, in our StreetS ten thousands they may yield. 14 That strong our oxen be for work ; that no in-breaking be, Nor going out; and that our streets may from complaints be free. 15 Those people blessed are who be in such a case as this ; Yea, blessed all those people are, whose God jeñóvãfi'is.

RAISE ye the Lord ; for it is good praise to our God to sing; For it is pleasant, and to praise it is a comely thing. |2 God doth build up Jerusalem ; and he it is alone That the dispers’d of Israel doth gather into one. 3 Those that are hroken in their hearts, and grieved in their minds, He healeth, and their painful wounds he tenderly up-binds. 4 He counts the number of the stars; he names theim ev’ry one. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r ; his wisdom search can none. 6. The Lord lifts up the meek; and casts the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to the Lord and give him thanks; on harp his praises sound. 8 Who covereth the heav'n with clouds, who for the earth below Prepareth rain, who maketh grass F upon the mountains grow 9 He gives the beast his food, he feeds the raven’s young that cry. 10 His pleasure not in horses’ strength, nor in man’s legs, doth lie Il But in all those that do him fear the Lord doth pleasure take ; In those that to his mercy do by hope themselves betake. 12. The Lord praise, O Jerusalem; - Zion, thy God cohſess : 13 For thy gates’ bars he maketh strong; thy sons in thee doth bless. 14 He in thy borders maketh peace ; with fine wheat filleth thee. 15 He sends forth his command on earth, his word runs speedily. 16 Hoar-frost, like ashes scatt’reth he ; like wool he snow doth give. 17 Like morsels casteth forth his ice : who in its cold can live 2 18 He sendeth forth his mighty word, and melteth them again ; His wind he inakes to blow, and then the Waters flow amain. 19 The doctrine of his hºly word to Jacob he doth show ; His statutes and his judgments he gives Israel to know. 20 To any nation never he such favour did afford : For they his judgments have not known.
