ARAM ATTACKS SHOMERON
And Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram gathers all his valiant together: with thirty-two sovereigns and horses and chariots; and he ascends and besieges Shomeron and fights against it. ² And he sends angels to Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El into the city and says to him, Thus says Ben Hadad, ³ Your silver and your gold is mine; and your women and your sons - the goodliest are mine. ⁴ And the sovereign of Yisra El answers and says, My adoni, O sovereign, according to your word, I am yours - and all I have. ⁵ And the angels return and say, Thus says Ben Hadad, saying, Although I send to you, saying, Give me your silver and your gold and your women and your sons; ⁶ yet tomorrow about this time I send my servants to you to search your house and the houses of your servants; and so be it, whatever is the desire of your eyes, they set in their hand and take away. ⁷ And the sovereign of Yisra El calls all the elders of the land and says, Perceive, I beseech you and see how this one seeks evil: for he sends to me for my women and for my sons and for my silver and for my gold; and I withhold not from him. ⁸ And all the elders and all the people say to him, Neither hearken, nor will. ⁹ And he says to the angels of Ben Hadad, Say to my adoni the sovereign, All you sent for to your servant at the first, I work: but this word, I cannot work. - and the angels go and return the word. ¹⁰ And Ben Hadad sends to him and says, The elohim work so to me and add also, if the dust of Shomeron suffice for palmfuls for all the people at my feet. ¹¹ And the sovereign of Yisra El answers and says, Word to him, He who girds halals not as he who loosens. ¹² And so be it, he hears this word as he is drinking - he and the sovereigns in the sukkoth/brush arbors; and he says to his servants, Line up! - and they line up against the city. ¹³
ARAM DEFEATED
And behold, one prophet approaches Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Thus says Yah Veh, See you all this great multitude? Behold, I deliver it into your hand this day; so that you know I - Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And Ach Ab says, By whom? And he says, Thus says Yah Veh, by the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions. Then he says, Who binds the war? And he says, You. ¹⁵ Then he musters the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions - two hundred and thirty two: and after them he musters all the people - all the sons of Yisra El - seven thousand: ¹⁶ and they go at noon: and Ben Hadad is drinking himself intoxicated in the sukkoth/brush arbors - he and the sovereigns - the thirty-two sovereigns who help him. ¹⁷ And the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions go first: and Ben Hadad sends them out and they tell him, saying, Men come from Shomeron! ¹⁸ And he says, If they come for shalom, apprehend them alive; and if they come for war, apprehend them alive. ¹⁹ So these lads of the governors of the jurisdictions go from the city; and the valiant after them. ²⁰ And every one smites his man: and the Aramiy flee; and Yisra El pursues them: and Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram escapes on a horse with the cavalry: ²¹ and the sovereign of Yisra El comes and smites the horses and chariots and smites the Aramiy with a great stroke. ²² And the prophet comes near the sovereign of Yisra El and says to him, Go! Strengthen! And perceive and see what to work: for at the turn of the year the sovereign of Aram ascends against you. ²³ And the servants of the sovereign of Aram say to him, Their elohim are elohim of the mountains; therefore they prevail over us; and we fight them in the plain and prevail over them: ²⁴ and so we work this word: we turn aside the sovereigns - every man from his place, and set governors in their stead: ²⁵ and number the valiant as the valiant who fell - horse for horse and chariot for chariot: and we fight them in the plain and prevail over them. - and he hearkens to their voice and thus works. ²⁶ And so be it, at the turn of the year, Ben Hadad musters the Aramiy and ascends to Apheq to war against Yisra El: ²⁷ and the sons of Yisra El are mustered and maintained; and go to meet them: and the sons of Yisra El encamp in front of them as two bare doe goats; and the Aramiy fill the land. ²⁸ And a man of Elohim comes near and says to the sovereign of Yisra El and says, Thus says Yah Veh, Because the Aramiy say, Yah Veh is Elohim of the mountains, but he is not Elohim of the valleys, I give all this great multitude into your hand, that you know I - Yah Veh. ²⁹ And they encamp one over against the other seven days. And so be it, in the seventh day, the war approaches: and the sons of Yisra El smite of the Aramiy a hundred thousand on foot in one day: ³⁰ and the remaining flee to Apheq - to the city; and a wall falls on twenty-seven thousand of the men who remain: and Ben Hadad flees and comes to the city - to an inner chamber. ³¹ And his servants say to him, Behold now, we hear that the sovereigns of the house of Yisra El are merciful sovereigns: have us, I beseech you, set saq on our loins and lines on our heads and go to the sovereign of Yisra El: peradventure he keeps your soul alive. ³² And they gird saq on their loins and put lines on their heads and come to the sovereign of Yisra El and say, Your servant Ben Hadad says, I beseech you, may my soul live. And he says, Is he still alive? he is my brother. ³³ Now the men prognosticate of him and they hasten and snatch: and they say, Your brother Ben Hadad. Then he says, Go! Take him! Then Ben Hadad goes to him; and he ascends him into the chariot ³⁴ and says to him, The cities my father took from your father, I restore; and set outways for yourself in Dammeseq, as my father set in Shomeron. Then he says, I send you away with this covenant. - and he cuts a covenant with him and sends him away. ³⁵
A SON OF THE PROPHETS ORDERS A SMITING
And one man of the sons of the prophets says to his friend, By the word of Yah Veh, smite me, I beseech you. And the man refuses to smite him. ³⁶ Then he says to him, Because you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh, behold, as soon as you go from me, a lion smites you. - and as soon as he goes from his side, a lion finds him and smites him. ³⁷ Then he finds another man and says, Smite me, I beseech you. - and the man smites him, so that in smiting he wounds him. ³⁸ So the prophet goes and stands by for the sovereign by the way and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes: ³⁹ and as the sovereign passes by, he cries to the sovereign and he says, Your servant goes midst the war; and behold, a man turns aside and brings a man to me and says, Guard this man: if in missing, he is missing, then your soul is for his soul; or else weigh a round of silver. ⁴⁰ - and as your servant works here and there, and he is nowhere. And the sovereign of Yisra El says to him, Thus your judgment - as you appoint. ⁴¹ And he hastens and turns aside the ashes from his eyes; and the sovereign of Yisra El recognizes that he is of the prophets; ⁴² and he says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Because you send away from your hand a man whom I devoted to destruction, so be it, your soul for his soul and your people for his people. ⁴³ And the sovereign of Yisra El goes to his house peeved and enraged and comes to Shomeron.

²⁰ So Ben Hadad hearkens unto sovereign Asa, and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and smites Iyon and Dan and Abel Beth Maachah and all Kinneroth with all the land of Naphtali.

²⁴ and he chattels mount Shomeron of Shemer for two rounds of silver; and builds on the mount and calls the name of the city he builds after the name of Shemer adoni of the mount, Shomeron.

¹⁶ and they go at noon: and Ben Hadad is drinking himself intoxicated in the sukkoth/brush arbors - he and the sovereigns - the thirty-two sovereigns who help him.

²⁴ and so we work this word: we turn aside the sovereigns - every man from his place, and set governors in their stead:

³¹ And the sovereign of Aram misvahs his thirty-two governors who rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only, with the sovereign of Yisra El.

FAMINE IN SHOMERON
And so be it, afterward, Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram gathers all his camp and ascends and besieges Shomeron; ²⁵ and there is a great famine in Shomeron: and behold, they besiege it, until the head of a he burro is eighty silver and the fourth qab of dove dungs is five silver. ²⁶ And as the sovereign of Yisra El passes by on the wall, a woman cries out to him, saying, Save, my adoni, O sovereign. ²⁷ And he says, If Yah Veh saves you not, how save I you? From the threshingfloor? Or from the trough? ²⁸ And the sovereign says to her, What ails you? And she says, This woman said to me, Give your son to eat today and eat my son tomorrow: ²⁹ so we stewed my son and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, to eat him: and she hid her son.

⁷
ELI SHUA PROPHESIES EVIL
And Eli Shua comes to Dammeseq; and Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram is sick; and they tell him, saying, The man of Elohim comes here. ⁸ And the sovereign says to Haza El, Take an offering in your hand and go meet the man of Elohim and enquire of Yah Veh by him, saying, Live I of this sickness? ⁹ And Haza El goes to meet him and takes an offering in his hand even of every good of Dammeseq - the burden of forty camels and comes and stands at his face and says, Your son Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram sends me to you, saying, Live I of this sickness? ¹⁰ And Eli Shua says to him, Go, say to him, In living, you live: howbeit Yah Veh shows me, that in dying, you die.

In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim.

² And Asa brings silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and of the house of the sovereign and sends to Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram who settles at Dammeseq, saying, ³ There is a covenant between me and between you, as between my father and between your father: behold, I send you silver and gold; go break your covenant with Basha sovereign of Yisra El so that he ascends from me. ⁴ And Ben Hadad hearkens to sovereign Asa and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and they smite Iyon and Dan and Abel Maim and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

¹² Artach Shashta, sovereign of sovereigns, to Ezra the priest, a scribe of the edict of Elah of the heavens, consummate and et cetera.

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard:

²⁷ and I kindle a fire in the wall of Dammeseq and it consumes the citadels of Ben Hadad.

⁷ For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Behold, I bring on Sor Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - a sovereign of sovereigns, from the north, with horses and with chariots and with cavalry and congregations and much people.

³⁷ You, O sovereign, are a sovereign of sovereigns: for Elah of the heavens gives you a sovereigndom - power and empowerment and esteem:

⁴ and I send a fire to the house of Haza El to consume the citadels of Ben Hadad:

⁹ And when he hears say of Tirhaqah sovereign of Kush, Behold, he goes to fight you! - he returns and sends angels to Yechizqi Yah, saying,

² and the sovereign of Ashshur sends Rab Shaqeh from Lachish to Yeru Shalem to king Yechizqi Yah - heavy with valiant: and he stands by the channel of the most high pool in the highway of the field of the fuller. ³ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the house comes to him, with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the memorializer. ⁴ And Rab Shaqeh says to them, You, say, I beseech, to Yechizqi Yah, Thus says the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur, What is this confidence wherein you confide? ⁵ I say, surely, words of lips! Counsel and might are for war! Now on whom confide you, to rebel against me? ⁶ Behold, you confide in the crutch of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim; whereon, if a man props, it goes into his palm, and pierces: thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide in him. ⁷ And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - is it not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside, and said to Yah Hudah and to Yeru Shalem, Prostrate you at the face of this sacrifice altar? ⁸ And now pledge, I beseech you, to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur, and I give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to give riders on them. ⁹ And how turn you away the face of one governor of the lesser of the servants of my adoni, and confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry? ¹⁰ And now ascend I without Yah Veh against this land to ruin it? Yah Veh said to me, Ascend against this land, and ruin it. ¹¹ And El Yaqim and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear: and word not to us in Yah Hudaic, in the ears of the people on the wall. ¹² And Rab Shaqeh says, Has my adoni sent me to your adoni to word these words to you? Is it not to the men who sit on the wall to eat their own excrements and drink the urine at their feet with you? ¹³ And Rab Shaqeh stands and calls out with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and says, You, hear the words of the great sovereign the sovereign of Ashshur! ¹⁴ Thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you: for he is not able to rescue you: ¹⁵ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh, saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us. This city is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur. ¹⁶ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me and every man eat of his vine and every man of his fig tree; and every man drink the waters of his own well; ¹⁷ - until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice, a land of bread and vineyards; ¹⁸ lest Yechizqi Yah goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us. Has any man of the elohim of the goyim rescued his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur? ¹⁹ Where are the elohim of Hamath and Arphad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? ²⁰ Who are they, among all the elohim of these lands, who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand? ²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not. ²² And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, comes with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph, the memorializer, to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped, and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh.

⁹ and he heard say concerning Tirhaqah sovereign of Kush, He comes to fight you. And he hears, and sends angels to Yechizqi Yah, saying, ¹⁰ You, say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim, in whom you confide, deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur.

⁹ The enemy says, I pursue! I overtake! I allot the loot! My soul is filled of them: I draw my sword; my hand dispossesses them.

¹³ For he said, By the force of my hand, I worked; and by my wisdom, I discerned: and I turned aside the borders of the people and plundered their treasures; and I brought down the settlers as the mighty: ¹⁴ and my hand found, as a nest, the valuables of the people: and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and no one flapped the wing or gaped the mouth or chirped.

³⁶ And on those who survive, I send a timidity into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the voice of a driven leaf pursues them; and they flee as retreating from a sword; and they fall when none pursues:

⁴⁸ - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you:

⁶ And the men of Yisra El see they are tribulated - that the people are exacted - and the people hide themselves in caves and in crevices and in rocks and in towers and in wells: ⁷ and the Hebrews pass over Yarden to the land of Gad and Gilad: and Shaul is yet in Gilgal; and all the people tremble after him:

¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah sends to the sovereign of Ashshur to Lachish saying, I sinned; turn away from me: whatever you give on me, I bear. And the sovereign of Ashshur sets to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah three hundred rounds of silver and thirty rounds of gold: ¹⁵ and Yechizqi Yah gives him all the silver found in the house of Yah Veh and in the treasures of the house of the sovereign. ¹⁶ At that time, Yechizqi Yah chops off the doors of the manse of Yah Veh and the pillars Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah overlaid; and gives them to the sovereign of Ashshur:

¹⁵ and Ribqah takes desirable clothing of her greater son Esav which are with her in the house; and enrobes Yaaqov her younger son:

¹⁹ Now they find no artificer throughout all the land of Yisra El: for the Peleshethiy say, Lest the Hebrews work swords or spears: ²⁰ and all the Yisra Eliy descend to the Peleshethiy and every man sharpens his share and his plowshare and his ax and his pick; ²¹ and have a file with mouths for the mattocks and for the plowshares and for the triple forks and for the axes and to station the goads.

¹⁴ And David says to Gad, I tribulate mightily: may we fall now into the hand of Yah Veh - for his mercies are many: and may I not fall to the hand of humanity.

³¹ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat - every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink - every man of you of the waters of his well: ³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey - to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us.

²⁷ and twenty tankards of gold of a thousand darics and two instruments of best yellow copper as desirable as gold.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame.

³⁴ Howl, you tenders, and cry; and wallow yourselves, you mighty of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your scatterings are fulfilled; and you fall as an instrument of desire:

⁷ Yeru Shalem remembers the days of her humiliation and of her persecutions; all her desires from the days of antiquity - when her people fell into the hand of the tribulator and she had no helper: the tribulators saw her and ridiculed her shabbathisms.

¹⁰ The tribulator spreads his hand on all her desires; for she sees the goyim enter her holies, whom you commanded to not enter your congregation.

¹⁵ Though he bears fruit among his brothers, an east wind comes; the wind/Spirit of Yah Veh ascends from the wilderness; and his fountain shames; and his fountain parches: he spoils the treasure of all pleasant instruments.

⁵ because you took my silver and my gold and carried to your manses - my goodly desirables:

¹
THE ARK IN THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
Then Shelomoh congregates the elders of Yisra El and all the heads of the rods - the hierarchs of the fathers of the sons of Yisra El to sovereign Shelomoh in Yeru Shalem - to ascend the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh from the city of David - Siyon:

⁷ And so be it, the sovereign of Yisra El calls out the scroll, and he rips his clothes and says, Am I Elohim? - to deathify and to enliven? - that this man sends to me to gather a man of his leprosy? Only, perceive, I beseech, and see how he beseeches me.

¹
THE RETURN OF THE ARK
And David counsels with the governors of thousands and hundreds and with every eminence.

¹
DAVID CHARGES SHELOMOH
And David congregates all the governors of Yisra El - the governors of the scions and the governors of the allotments who minister to the sovereign and the governors over the thousands and governors over the hundreds and the governors over all the acquisition and chattel of the sovereign and of his sons - with the eunuchs and with the mighty and with all the mighty of valour to Yeru Shalem.

³⁵ they conceive toil and birth mischief and their belly prepares deceit.

¹⁴ Behold, he despoils with mischief and conceives toil and births falsehood:

⁴ he fabricates mischief on his bed; he neither sets himself in a good way nor spurns evil.

³ Until when assail you against a man? you are murdered - all of you - as a wall spread - a wall overthrown.

² who machinates evils in the heart: all day they sojourn for war;

¹⁴ perversion is in his heart; he inscribes evil at all times; he sends contention:

¹⁴ Without counsels, the people fall; and in the abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

²⁷ He who early seeks good, seeks pleasure; and he who seeks evil, it approaches him.

² for their heart meditates devastation and their lips word of toil.

²⁷ And the hearts of both of these sovereign vilify; and at one table they word lies; and it prospers not: for yet the end is in season.

¹³ Their larynx is an open tomb; they deceive with their tongues; the venom of asps is under their lips; ¹⁴ whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ whose feet are sharp to pour blood; ¹⁶ crushing and misery are in their ways; ¹⁷ and the way of shalom they have not known; ¹⁸ there is no awe of Elohim in front of their eyes. ^{Psalms 5:9, 10:7, 36:1, 140:3, Isaiah 59:7,8}

⁸ and all your servants descend to me and prostrate to me, saying, You and all the people at your feet, Get out! and after that I go out. - and he goes out from Paroh in a fuming wrath.

¹⁰ And Baraq cries to Zebulun and Naphtali to Qedesh; and he ascends with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah ascends with him.

¹² and we come upon him in one of the places where we find him; and we light on him as the dew falls on the soil: and of him and of all the men with him not even one remains: ¹³ and if he gathers into a city, then all Yisra El bears lines to that city and we drag it into the wadi, until they find not even a bundle there.

² And Iy Zebel sends an angel to Eli Yah, saying, Thus work the elohim and add also; about this time tomorrow I set your soul as the soul of one of them.

²³ By the hand of your angels you reproach Adonay and say, With the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon and cut down the height of cedar trees thereof and the choice cypress trees thereof: and I enter the lodgings of his edges and the forest of his Karmel/orchard. ²⁴ I dig and drink strange waters; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of seige/Masor.

²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard: ²⁵ I dig and drink water; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of the rampart.

¹²
THE COALITION OF THE YAH HUDIYM
And being day, some of the Yah Hudiym make a coalition and anathematize themselves, wording to neither eat nor drink until they slaughter Paulos:

⁶ And Yah Nathan says to the lad who bears his instruments, Come, and we pass over to the standing camp of these uncircumcised: perhaps Yah Veh works for us: for there is no hindrance to Yah Veh to save by many or by few.

¹² And the men of the station answer Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer, and say, Ascend to us and we have you know a word. And Yah Nathan says to his instrument bearer, Ascend after me: for Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El. ¹³ And Yah Nathan ascends on his hands and on his feet and his instrument bearer after him: and they fall at the face of Yah Nathan; and his instrument bearer after him deathifies:

⁴⁴ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Come to me and I give your flesh to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the field. ⁴⁵ Then says David to the Peleshethiy, You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a dart: but I come to you in the name of Yah Veh Sabaoth - Elohim of the ranks of Yisra El whom you reproach. ⁴⁶ This day Yah Veh shuts you into my hand; and I smite you and turn aside your head from you: and this day I give the carcases of the camp of the Peleshethiy to the flyers of the heavens and to the live beings of the earth; so that all the earth knows there is an Elohim in Yisra El: ⁴⁷ and all this congregation know that Yah Veh saves not with sword and spear: for the war is to Yah Veh and he gives you into our hands.

¹ Halal not yourself in the day of tomorrow; for you know not what a day births.

¹¹ I returned and saw under the sun, neither is the race to the swift nor the war to the mighty nor yet bread to the wise nor yet riches to the discerning nor yet charism to the knowing: for time and coincidence happens to all.

¹⁵ Boasts the ax over him who hews therewith? Or greatens the rasp over him who shakes it? - as a scion shakes them who lift it? Or as a rod lifts itself with no timber? ¹⁶ So Adonay - Adonay Sabaoth sends emaciation among his fatness; and under his honor he burns a burning as the burning of a fire:

³³ Petros answers him, saying, Though all scandalize in you, yet I never ever scandalize. ³⁴ Yah Shua says to him, Amen! I word to you, This night, ere the rooster voices, you utterly deny me thrice. ³⁵ Petros words to him, And if I must die with you, I never ever utterly deny you. - likewise also say all the disciples.

⁷⁵ And Petros remembers the rhema of Yah Shua, saying to him, Ere the rooster voices, you utterly deny me thrice. - and he goes and weeps bitterly.

³⁶ And Abi Gail comes to Nabal; and behold, he holds a banquet in his house, as the banquet of a sovereign; and the heart of Nabal is good within him, and he is mighty intoxicated: she tells him no word, less or great, until the morning light.

²⁸ And Abi Shalom misvahs his lads, saying, Now see, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I say to you, Smite Amnon! Deathify him! Awe not! I - misvah I you not? Strengthen! Sons of valour!

⁹ and his servant Zimri governor of half his chariots conspires against him as he is in Tirsah - drinking himself intoxicated in the house of Arsa the steward of the house in Tirsah:

⁴ Not for sovereigns, O Lemu El, neither for sovereigns, to drink wine; nor for potentates, intoxicants: ⁵ lest they drink and forget the statute and alter the plea of any of the sons of humiliation.

¹⁰ and say to them, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I send and take Nebukadnets Tsar the sovereign of Babel, my servant, and set his throne on these stones I hid: and he spreads his glory pavilion over them:

² Bel Shats Tsar, as he tastes the fermentation, says to bring the golden and silver vessels his father Nebukadnets Tsar removed from the manse in Yeru Shalem; for the sovereign and his nobles, his mistresses and his concubines to drink.

³⁰ In that night, Bel Shats Tsar the sovereign of the Kesediym is severed.

³⁴ And heed to yourselves, lest ever your hearts burden with hangovers and intoxication and anxieties of existence, so that day stands by you unawares.

¹⁸ And be not intoxicated with wine wherein is dissipation; but be filled full/shalamed in Spirit;

¹⁸ and the Misrayim know I - Yah Veh, when I become honored through Paroh - through his chariots and through his cavalry.

¹² I hear the murmurings of the sons of Yisra El! Word to them, saying, Between evenings you eat flesh and in the morning satiate with bread; and you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

³⁶ And so be it, at the holocaust of the offering, Eli Yah the prophet comes near and says, Yah Veh Elohim of Abraham, Yischaq, and Yisra El, so be it known this day that you are Elohim in Yisra El and I your servant: and by your word I work all these. ³⁷ Answer me, O Yah Veh, answer me, so that this people knows you are Yah Veh Elohim and that you turn their heart backward.

²⁸ And a man of Elohim comes near and says to the sovereign of Yisra El and says, Thus says Yah Veh, Because the Aramiy say, Yah Veh is Elohim of the mountains, but he is not Elohim of the valleys, I give all this great multitude into your hand, that you know I - Yah Veh.

⁸ And the sovereign of Aram fights Yisra El and counsels with his servants, saying, In such and such a place is my encampment. ⁹ And the man of Elohim sends to the sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Guard that you not pass this place; for the Aramiy descend there: ¹⁰ and the sovereign of Yisra El sends to the place of which the man of Elohim says; and enlightens him; and guards himself there - neither once nor twice. ¹¹ And the heart of the sovereign of Aram storms about because of this word; and he calls his servants and says to them, Tell you me not who of us is for the sovereign of Yisra El? ¹² And one of his servants says, None, my adoni, O sovereign: for Eli Shua, the prophet in Yisra El, tells the sovereign of Yisra El the words you word in your bedchamber.

¹
ELI SHUA PROPHESIES FOOD
And Eli Shua says, Hear the word of Yah Veh; Thus says Yah Veh, Tomorrow about this time, a seah of flour for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the portal of Shomeron.

²³ and Yah Veh grants them charism and mercies them and turns his face to them because of his covenant with Abraham, Yischaq and Yaaqov and wills neither to ruin them, nor cast them from his face as yet.

¹⁸ so that they know that you, whose name alone is Yah Veh, are Elyon over all the earth.

¹
WAR AGAINST YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the days of Ach Az the son of Yah Tham, the son of Uzzi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, that Resin the sovereign of Aram, and Peqach the son of Remal Yah sovereign of Yisra El ascend to Yeru Shalem to war against it but cannot fight against it. ² And they tell the house of David, saying, Aram rests with Ephrayim. And his heart shakes - and the heart of his people as the trees of the forest shake at the face of the wind. ³ Then Yah Veh says to Yesha Yah, Go, I beseech, to meet Ach Az - you and Shear Yashub your son, at the end of the channel of the most high pool in the highway of the field of the fuller; ⁴ and say to him, On guard! and, Rest! Neither awe nor tenderize your heart for the two tails of these smoking brands - for the fuming wrath of Resin and Aram and the son of Remal Yah: ⁵ because Aram, Ephrayim, and the son of Remal Yah counsel evil against you, saying, ⁶ We ascend against Yah Hudah and loathe it and split it for us, and reign a sovereign in their midst - the son of Tabe El. ⁷ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh, It neither rises, nor becomes: ⁸ for the head of Aram is Dammeseq and the head of Dammeseq is Resin: and within sixty-five years Ephrayim, as a people, breaks. ⁹ And the head of Ephrayim is Shomeron and the head of Shomeron is the son of Remal Yah: If you trust not, surely you are not trustworthy.

²⁰ And now, O Yah Veh our Elohim, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth know that you are Yah Veh - you only.

⁷ and the pierced fall in your midst and you know I - Yah Veh.

¹⁴ And for sake of my name, I worked to not profane in the eyes of the goyim, in whose eyes I brought them out.

²² I turn my hand, and work for sake of my name, not to profane in the eyes of the goyim, in whose eyes I brought them forth.

¹⁷ Thus you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim tabernacling in Siyon, my holy mountain: then Yeru Shalem becomes holy, and strangers pass through her no more.

¹⁴ And Abram hears his brother is captured, he draws his hanukked, - three hundred and eighteen birthed in his own house and pursues them to Dan. ¹⁵ And he allots against them by night - he and his servants and smites them and pursues them to Hobah at the left of Dammeseq. ¹⁶ And he returns all his acquisitions and also returns his brother Lot and his acquisitions and also the women and the people:

¹⁶ and he divides the three hundred men into three heads; and he gives in the hand of every man shophars and empty pitchers and flambeaus within the pitchers. ¹⁷ And he says to them, See me; and work likewise: and behold, when I come to the edge of the camp, so be it, as I work, you work: ¹⁸ when I blast with a shophar, I - and all with me, then you blast the shophars all around all the camp and say, Of Yah Veh! and, Of Gidon! ¹⁹ So Gidon and the hundred men with him, come to the edge of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and in raising, they raise the guard: and they blast the shophars and shatter the pitchers in their hands: ²⁰ and the three heads blast the shophars and break the pitchers and hold the flambeaus in their left hands and the shophars in their right hands to blast: and they call out, A sword! Of Yah Veh! and, Of Gidon!

⁵⁰ And David prevails over the Peleshethiy with a sling and with a stone and smites the Peleshethiy and deathifies him; and there is no sword in the hand of David:

⁴⁴ And so be it, at the seventh he says, Behold, a little thick cloud ascends from the sea - as a palm of a man. And he says, Ascend, say to Ach Ab, Bind; and descend that the rain not restrain you.

²⁷ But Elohim selects the foolish of the cosmos to shame the wise; and Elohim selects the frailties of the cosmos to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and the ignoble of the cosmos and the belittled Elohim selects; yes, and those not being to inactivate those being: ²⁹ so that no flesh boasts in his sight.

⁷ And Yah Veh says to Gidon, By the three hundred men who lap, I save you; and give the Midyaniy into your hand: and all the other people go - each man to his place.

¹⁶ and he divides the three hundred men into three heads; and he gives in the hand of every man shophars and empty pitchers and flambeaus within the pitchers.

² and Shaul settles in the extremity of Gibah under a pomegranate tree in Migron: and the people with him are about six hundred men;

¹⁸ and I survive seven thousand in Yisra El - all the knees who bowed not to Baal and every mouth who kissed him not.

⁷ And of the people of Yah Achaz he survives naught but fifty cavalry and ten chariots and ten thousand on foot; for the sovereign of Aram destroys them and sets them as the dust by threshing.

¹¹ And Asa calls to Yah Veh his Elohim and says, Yah Veh, it is naught with you to help - between many, or them who have no force: help us, O Yah Veh our Elohim; for we lean on you; and in your name we go against this multitude. O Yah Veh, you are our Elohim; may mortal man not restrain against you.

⁴⁰ Yah Veh kindled his wrath against his people so that he abhored his own inheritance; ⁴¹ and he gave them into the hand of the goyim: and they who hated them reigned over them: ⁴² their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. ⁴³ Many times he rescued them; but they rebelled with their counsel and they are subdued in their perversity.

⁷ And so be it, by the hand of the prophet Yah Hu the son of Hanani the word of Yah Veh comes against Basha and against his house for all the evil he works in the eyes of Yah Veh - in vexing him with the work of his hands in being as the house of Yarob Am; and because he smote him.

¹¹ And the sovereign of Yisra El answers and says, Word to him, He who girds halals not as he who loosens. ¹² And so be it, he hears this word as he is drinking - he and the sovereigns in the sukkoth/brush arbors; and he says to his servants, Line up! - and they line up against the city.

²⁹ Who has woe? Who has will? Who has contentions? Who has meditation? Who has wounds gratuitously? Who has flushness of eyes? ³⁰ They who linger at the wine; they who go to probe cocktails. ³¹ See not on the wine when it reddens - when it gives its eye in the pouch - when it passes in straightnesses: ³² and finally bites as a serpent and wounds as a hisser.

¹⁶ Woe to you, O land, when your sovereign is a lad and your governors eat in the morning! ¹⁷ Blithe - you, O land, when your sovereign is the son of nobles and your governors eat on time - for might and not for drinking!

¹⁵ Behold, in sojourning, they sojourn, but not by me: whosoever sojourns against you falls for your sake.

¹¹ Whoredom and wine and juice take away the heart:

¹⁴ And Ach Ab says, By whom? And he says, Thus says Yah Veh, by the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions. Then he says, Who binds the war? And he says, You. ¹⁵ Then he musters the lads of the governors of the jurisdictions - two hundred and thirty two: and after them he musters all the people - all the sons of Yisra El - seven thousand:

¹⁹ So these lads of the governors of the jurisdictions go from the city; and the valiant after them.

³ Neither abound your word so high and lofty; nor comes impudence from your mouth: for Yah Veh is an El of knowledge and by him are exploits gauged. ⁴ The bows of the mighty are crushed, and they who stumble gird with valour:

¹¹ And both of them expose themselves to the standing camp of the Peleshethiy: and the Peleshethiy say, Behold, the Hebrews come from the holes where they hide themselves. ¹² And the men of the station answer Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer, and say, Ascend to us and we have you know a word. And Yah Nathan says to his instrument bearer, Ascend after me: for Yah Veh gives them into the hand of Yisra El.

⁴⁴ And the Peleshethiy says to David, Come to me and I give your flesh to the flyers of the heavens and to the animals of the field.

⁸ Then Amaz Yah sends angels to Yah Ash son of Yah Achaz son of Yah Hu sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Come! See one another in the face! ⁹ And Yah Ash the sovereign of Yisra El sends to Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, The thorn in Lebanon sends to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son to woman: and a live being of the field passes by in Lebanon and tramples the thorn: ¹⁰ in smiting, you smote Edom and your heart lifts you: be honored and settle at your house: for why coax you to evil only, to fall - you and Yah Hudah with you? ¹¹ And Amaz Yah hearkens not: and Yah Ash sovereign of Yisra El ascends; and he and Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah see one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, Yah Hudah: ¹² and Yah Hudah is smitten at the face of Yisra El; and every man flees to his tent.

¹² At the face of the breech the heart of man is lifted; at the face of honor is humility.

⁸ and five of you pursue a hundred and a hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies fall by the sword at your face.

²⁰ and the three heads blast the shophars and break the pitchers and hold the flambeaus in their left hands and the shophars in their right hands to blast: and they call out, A sword! Of Yah Veh! and, Of Gidon! ²¹ And every man stands in his place all around the camp; and all the camp runs and shouts and flees: ²² and the three hundred blast the shophars and Yah Veh sets the sword of every man against his friend throughout all the camp: and the camp flees to Beth Has Shittah in Seredah to the lip of Abel Mecholah - to Tabbath.

¹³ And Yah Nathan ascends on his hands and on his feet and his instrument bearer after him: and they fall at the face of Yah Nathan; and his instrument bearer after him deathifies: ¹⁴ and the first stroke Yah Nathan and his instrument bearer smite is about twenty men - within as it were a half furrow of an acre of a field. ¹⁵ And they tremble in the camp, in the field, and among all the people: the standing camp and the ruiners also tremble; and the earth quakes - and so be it, a trembling of Elohim:

¹⁶ And he descends him, and behold, they disperse upon the face of all the earth, eating and drinking and celebrating, because of all the great spoil they took from the land of the Peleshethiy and from the land of Yah Hudah. ¹⁷ And David smites them from the evening breeze to the evening of the morrow: and not a man of them escapes except four hundred lads flee riding on camels.

¹⁶ each man holds his friend by the head and his sword in the side of his friend; and they fall together: and they call that place Helgath Hats Surim - in Gibon.

⁶ for Adonay has the camp of the Aramiy hear a voice of chariots and a voice of horses - the voice of a great valiant. And they say man to brother, Behold, the sovereign of Yisra El hires against us the sovereigns of the Hethiy and the sovereigns of the Misrayim to come against us. ⁷ And they rise and flee in the evening breeze and leave their tents and the camp as it is and their horses and their he burros - and flee for their soul:

³⁶ And Sancherib, sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh:

¹⁶ Neither is the sovereign saved by the abundance of valour; nor the mighty rescued by the abundance of force.

⁶ The goyim roar; the sovereigndoms totter: he gives his voice: the earth melts.

²⁸ And he says to them, Pursue after me: for Yah Veh gives your enemies the Moabiy into your hand. - and they descend after him and capture the passages of Yarden toward Moab and allow not a man to pass over.

²³ And the men of Yisra El - of Naphtali and of Asher and of all Menash Sheh cry out and pursue after the Midyaniy. ²⁴ And Gidon sends angels throughout all mount Ephrayim, saying, Descend to meet the Midyaniy and capture the waters to Beth Barah and Yarden in front of them. Then all the men of Ephrayim cry out and capture the waters to Beth Barah and Yarden: ²⁵ and they capture two governors of the Midyaniy - Oreb and Zeeb; and they slaughter Oreb on rock Oreb and they slaughter Zeeb at the trough of Zeeb; and pursue Midyaniy and bring the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gidon beyond Yarden.

²⁰ And Shaul and all the people with him cry out together; and they come to the war; and behold, the sword of every man is against his friend and there is a mighty great confusion: ²¹ and the Hebrews who were with the Peleshethiy three yesters ago - who ascended with them all around the camp turn around to be with the Yisra Eliy - with Shaul and Yah Nathan: ²² and all the men of Yisra El who hid themselves in mount Ephrayim, hear that the Peleshethiy flee, even they also adhere after them in the war.

⁵² and the men of Yisra El and of Yah Hudah rise and shout and pursue the Peleshethiy until you come to the valley and to the portals of Eqron: and the pierced of the Peleshethiy descend by the way to Shaarayim - to Gath and to Eqron:

¹⁸ and this is a trifle in the eyes of Yah Veh: and he gives the Moabiy into your hand.

²⁴ And they come to the camp of Yisra El; and Yisra Eliy rises and smites the Moabiy so that they flee from their face; and they smite the Moabiy:

¹
DAVID AND BATH SHEBA
And so be it, at the turn of the year, at the time angels go forth, David sends Yah Ab and his servants with him and all Yisra El; and they ruin the sons of Ammon and besiege Rabbah: and David settles at Yeru Shalem.

¹⁰ And he says, In being zealous, I am zealous for Yah Veh Elohim Sabaoth: for the sons of Yisra El forsook your covenant, demolished your sacrifice altars and slaughtered your prophets with the sword; and I - I only, remain; and they seek to take away my soul.

¹³
ARAM DEFEATED
And behold, one prophet approaches Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Thus says Yah Veh, See you all this great multitude? Behold, I deliver it into your hand this day; so that you know I - Yah Veh.

²⁶ And so be it, at the turn of the year, Ben Hadad musters the Aramiy and ascends to Apheq to war against Yisra El:

³⁸ So the prophet goes and stands by for the sovereign by the way and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes:

⁸ And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, There is still one man, Michah Yah the son of Yimlah, by whom we may enquire of Yah Veh: but I hate him; for he prophesies no good concerning me; but evil. And Yah Shaphat says, O that the sovereign not say thus.

¹² And one of his servants says, None, my adoni, O sovereign: for Eli Shua, the prophet in Yisra El, tells the sovereign of Yisra El the words you word in your bedchamber.

¹
THE HOST OF DAVID RUINS THE SONS OF AMMON
And so be it, after the turn of the year, at the time sovereigns go out, Yah Ab drives the valiant of the hosts and ruins the land of the sons of Ammon; and comes and besieges Rabbah: and David settles at Yeru Shalem: and Yah Ab smites Rabbah and demolishes it.

⁸ but if you go, Work! Strengthen for the war! Elohim stumbles you at the face of the enemy: for Elohim has force to help - and to stumble.

¹¹ And Amaz Yah strengthens himself and drives his people and goes to Gay Melach/Valley of Salt and smites ten thousand of the sons of Seir:

¹⁴ Await Yah Veh! Prevail; and he strengthens your heart; yes, await Yah Veh.

² Why say the goyim, Where I beseech, is their Elohim? ³ Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires.

¹⁰ The name of Yah Veh is a tower of strength; the just run to it and are lofted.

¹⁸ Every fabrication is established by counsel; and with counsels, work war.

⁹ Be broken, O you people - be broken; and hearken, all you of lands afar: gird, and be broken; gird, and be broken:

¹¹ Yah Veh, your hand is lifted; they see not: they see and shame for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your tribulators consumes them.

⁸ I - Yah Veh: that is my name: and I neither give my honor to another, nor my halal to sculptiles.

⁹ Call this out among the goyim! Hallow war! Waken the mighty! Draw all the men of war near! Ascend them! ¹⁰ Forge your plowshares into swords and your psalmpicks into javelins! Have the vanquished say, I am mighty.

¹⁰ Finally, my brothers, be dynamized in Adonay and in the power of his might.

⁸ Woe to us! Who rescues us from the hand of these mighty elohim - these elohim who smote the Misrayim with all the strokes in the wilderness?

²³ and they - they also built bamahs and monoliths and asherim on every high hill and under every green tree:

¹² Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar?

¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand? ¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand? ¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. ¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: ¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand. ¹⁸ And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city: ¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity.

²¹ These you work, and I hush; you equate that I become as your; but I reprove you and line them up at your eyes. ²² I beseech, discern this, you who forget Elohah, lest I tear in pieces and there be no one to rescue.

¹ A Song of Degrees. I lift my eyes to the mountains. Whence comes my help? ² My help is from Yah Veh who worked the heavens and earth.

²¹ because when they knew Elohim they neither glorified him as Elohim, nor eucharistized; but became vain in their reasonings and darkened their uncomprehending heart: ²² professing themselves to be wise they became fools; ²³ and changed the glory of the uncorruptible Elohim into an icon likened to corruptible humanity and to flyers and quadrupeds and creepers.

¹
ARAM ATTACKS SHOMERON
And Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram gathers all his valiant together: with thirty-two sovereigns and horses and chariots; and he ascends and besieges Shomeron and fights against it.

³⁰ There is neither wisdom nor discernment nor counsel against Yah Veh.

³ because the wicked halal the desire of his soul and bless the greedy whom Yah Veh scorns.

⁴ southward: all the land of the Kenaaniy and the cave beside the Sidoniy to Apheq - to the borders of the Emoriy:

³⁰ and Ummah and Apheq and Rechob; - twenty-two cities with their courts.

³¹ Asher dispossesses neither the settlers of Akko nor the settlers of Sidon nor of Ach Lab nor of Achzib nor of Helbah nor of Aphek nor of Rechob:

¹ and the word of Shemu El comes to all Yisra El.
THE ARK CAPTURED
And Yisra El goes out to meet the Peleshethiy to war and encamps beside Eben Ezer; and the Peleshethiy encamp in Apheq;

¹
THE PELESHETHIY DISTRUST DAVID
And the Peleshethiy gather all their camps to Apheq; and the Yisra Eliy encamp by a fountain in Yizre El:

²² And the prophet comes near the sovereign of Yisra El and says to him, Go! Strengthen! And perceive and see what to work: for at the turn of the year the sovereign of Aram ascends against you.

³⁰ and the remaining flee to Apheq - to the city; and a wall falls on twenty-seven thousand of the men who remain: and Ben Hadad flees and comes to the city - to an inner chamber.

¹⁷ and he says, Open the window eastward! - and he opens. Then Eli Shua says, Shoot! - and he shoots. And he says, The arrow of the salvation of Yah Veh and the arrow of the salvation of Aram! Smite the Aramiy in Apheq until you finish them off.

³⁰ How pursues one a thousand and two that a myriad flee - unless their Rock sold them and Yah Veh shut them up?

¹¹ Pass over midst the camp and misvah the people, saying, Prepare your hunt; for within three days you pass over this Yarden to go in to possess the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you to possess.

⁵ for they ascend with their chattel and their tents and they come as locusts in sufficient abundance; for both they and their camels are without number: and they enter the land to ruin it:

⁸ So the people take their hunt in their hand and their shophars: and he sends every man of Yisra El to his tent and upholds those three hundred men: and the camp of Midyaniy is below him in the valley.

⁵ and the Peleshethiy gather to fight Yisra El - thirty thousand chariots and six thousand cavalry - people as the sand on the sea lip in abundance: and they ascend and encamp in Michmash eastward from Beth Aven. ⁶ And the men of Yisra El see they are tribulated - that the people are exacted - and the people hide themselves in caves and in crevices and in rocks and in towers and in wells: ⁷ and the Hebrews pass over Yarden to the land of Gad and Gilad: and Shaul is yet in Gilgal; and all the people tremble after him: ⁸ and he waits seven days according to the season with Shemu El: and Shemu El comes not to Gilgal; and the people scatter from him.

⁷ Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur or at the face of all the multitude with him: for there are greater with us than with him: ⁸ with him - an arm of flesh; and with us - Yah Veh our Elohim to help us and to fight our wars. And the people prop on the words of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah.

⁷ and I take you to me - a people and I - to you - Elohim: and you know - I - Yah Veh your Elohim, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Misrayim:

⁵ and the Misrayim know I - Yah Veh, when I spread my hand on Misrayim and bring out the sons of Yisra El from among them.

²² and in that day, I distinguish the land of Goshen, in which my people stay, so that no swarmers become there: so that you know I - Yah Veh midst the earth:

⁶ neither ate you bread, nor drank you wine or intoxicants: so that you know I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

²⁷ If not, I fear the vexation of the enemy, lest their tribulators discern; and lest they say, Our hand is lofty! and, Yah Veh worked not all this.

⁸ O Adonay, what say I, when Yisra El turns their necks from the face of their enemies? ⁹ For the Kenaaniy and all the settlers of the land hear of it, and surround us and cut off our name from the earth: and what work you to your great name?

¹
THE MAN OF ELOHIM WITH THE WORD OF YAH VEH
And behold, there comes a man of Elohim from Yah Hudah by the word of Yah Veh to Beth El: and Yarob Am stands by the sacrifice altar to incense:

¹⁸ And she says to Eli Yah, What have I to do with you, O you man of Elohim? Come you to me to call my perversity to remembrance and to deathify my son?

²² And the prophet comes near the sovereign of Yisra El and says to him, Go! Strengthen! And perceive and see what to work: for at the turn of the year the sovereign of Aram ascends against you. ²³ And the servants of the sovereign of Aram say to him, Their elohim are elohim of the mountains; therefore they prevail over us; and we fight them in the plain and prevail over them:

¹⁴ and the Spirit of Yah Veh comes upon Yachazi El the son of Zechar Yah the son of Bena Yah the son of Yei El the son of Mattan Yah - a Leviy of the sons of Asaph midst the congregation; ¹⁵ and he says, Hearken, all Yah Hudah, and you, settlers of Yeru Shalem, and you, sovereign Yah Shaphat: thus says Yah Veh to you: Neither awe nor terrify at the face of this great multitude; for the war is not to you, but to Elohim: ¹⁶ tomorrow descend against them: behold, they ascend by the ascent of Sis; and you find them at the end of the wadi at the face of the wilderness of Yeru El. ¹⁷ Fight not in this: Set yourselves! Stand! See the salvation of Yah Veh with you, O Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: neither awe nor terrify: tomorrow go out at their face and Yah Veh is with you. ¹⁸ And Yah Shaphat bows with nostrils to the earth: and all Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem fall at the face of Yah Veh, and prostrate to Yah Veh: ¹⁹ and the Leviym of the sons of the Qehathiy and of the sons of the Qorachiy rise to halal Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El with a great voice on high. ²⁰ And they start early in the morning and go to the wilderness of Teqoha: and as they go Yah Shaphat stands and says, Hear me, O Yah Hudah and you settlers of Yeru Shalem; Trust in Yah Veh your Elohim, amenable; trust his prophets, prosper.

¹⁶ With him is strength and substance; they who err inadvertently and they who cause to err inadvertently are his. ¹⁷ He walks counsellors away stripped and has the judges halal; ¹⁸ he loosens the bond of sovereigns and binds their loins with a girdle; ¹⁹ he walks priests away stripped and perverts the perennial;

¹⁰ The just cheers when he sees the avengement; he washes his steps in the blood of the wicked. ¹¹ So that humanity says, Surely there is a fruit for the just; surely Elohim judges in the earth.

¹⁰ Why say the goyim, Where is their Elohim? may it be known among the goyim in our sight by the vengeance of the blood of your servants which is poured.

²⁹ because of your quaking against me your uproar ascends into my ears: I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips; and I turn you back by the way you came. ³⁰ And this is a sign to you, This year you eat the spontaneous growth; and the second year the spontaneous growth: and in the third year you seed and harvest and plant vineyards and eat the fruit. ³¹ And the escapees of the house of Yah Hudah who survive again take root downward and work fruit upward: ³² for survivors come from Yeru Shalem and the escapees from mount Siyon: the zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this. ³³ So Yah Veh says thus concerning the sovereign of Ashshur, He neither comes into this city, nor shoots an arrow there; neither anticipates with buckler, nor pours a bank against it. ³⁴ By the way he came, by the same he returns, and comes not into this city - an oracle of Yah Veh. ³⁵ For I garrison this city to save it for my own sake and for sake of my servant David. ³⁶ And the angel of Yah Veh goes and smites a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Ashshur: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases. ³⁷ And Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes, and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh.

⁷ O Yah Veh, though our perversities answer against us, work this for sake of your name: for our apostasies abound by the myriads; we sin against you.

¹⁴ Thus I spread my hand on them and give the land a desolatiom - yes, more desolation than the wilderness toward Riblah in all their sites: and they know I - Yah Veh.

¹² and you know I - Yah Veh: for you neither walk in my statutes nor work my judgments; but work after the judgments of the goyim all around you.

¹⁶ And I leave of them remaining from the sword from the famine and from the pestilence so that they scribe all their abhorrences among the goyim where they go; and they know I - Yah Veh.

⁹ And for sake of my name, I work to not profane it in the eyes of the goyim, among whom they are in whose eyes I make myself known to them in bringing them from the land of Misrayim:

²¹ And I compassion my holy name which the house of Yisra El profanes among the goyim wherever they go. ²² So say to the house of Yisra El, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I work this, not for your sakes, O house of Yisra El, but for sake of my holy name - which you profane among the goyim, wherever you go: ²³ and I hallow my great name profaned among the goyim - which you profane among them; and the goyim know I - Yah Veh - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh when I am hallowed in you in front of their eyes.

³² I work this not for your sakes - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh thus be it known to you: shame and confound for your own ways, O house of Yisra El.

⁷ Thus I make my holy name known among my people Yisra El; and I profane my holy name no more: and the goyim know I - Yah Veh, the Holy One in Yisra El.

¹⁵ And so be it, on the seventh day, they start early about the ascending of dawn, and surround the city after the same judgment seven times: except on that day they surround the city seven times.

¹⁶ And the Peleshethiy draws near starting early and evening and sets himself forty days.

¹⁸ and the Aramiy flee the face of Yisra El; and David slaughters seven hundred chariots and forty thousand cavalry of the Aramiy; and smites Shobach the governor of their host who dies there.

¹⁷ and Abi Yah and his people smite them with a great stroke: so there fall down, pierced of Yisra El, five hundred thousand chosen men.

²³ and the sons of Ammon and Moab stand against the settlers of mount Seir to devote and desolate them: and they finish off the settlers of Seir, and each man helps to ruin his friend. ²⁴ And Yah Hudah comes to Mispeh in the wilderness, and they face the multitude, and behold, their carcases fallen to the earth; and none escape. ²⁵ And Yah Shaphat and his people come to plunder the spoil; and among the carcases, they find in abundance, both acquisitions and desirable instruments which they strip for themselves, without burden: and for three days they plunder the spoil - it is so much:

⁶ And Peqach the son of Remal Yah slaughters in Yah Hudah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day - all sons of valour; because they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers.

¹⁶ Yah Veh is Sovereign eternally and eternally; the goyim destruct from his land.

³⁶ And the angel of Yah Veh goes and smites a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Ashshur: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases.

¹⁰ And Ben Hadad sends to him and says, The elohim work so to me and add also, if the dust of Shomeron suffice for palmfuls for all the people at my feet.

²⁰ And every one smites his man: and the Aramiy flee; and Yisra El pursues them: and Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram escapes on a horse with the cavalry:

²⁵ And Michah Yah says, Behold, you see in that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

²⁴ And Michah Yah says, Behold, you see for yourself the day you go into an inner chamber to hide. ²⁵ With the mercied, merciful; with the mighty integrious, integrious;

¹⁸ And so be it, he who flees from the voice of the fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from midst the pit is captured in the snare: for the windows from on high open, and the foundations of the earth quake:

⁴⁴ He who flees from the face of fear falls into the pit; and he who ascends from the pit is captured in the snare: for I bring thereon - on Moab, the year of their visitation - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

¹⁴ and the flight destructs from the swift: neither the strong strengthens his force nor the mighty rescues his soul: ¹⁵ neither stands he who manipulates the bow; nor rescues he who is swift of foot: nor rescues he his soul who rides the horse:

¹⁹ - as a man flees the face of a lion and a bear meets him; or goes into the house and props his hand on the wall and a serpent bites him:

³ and if they hide in the top of Karmel/orchard I search and take them from there; and if they hide from my eyes in the floor of the sea I misvah the serpent to bite them there;

⁴ Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Shiloach fell and slaughtered them: think you that they became indebted above all humanity who settle in Yeru Shalem?

³⁴ - and Yaaqov rips his clothes and puts saq on his loins and mourns for his son many days.

³¹ And David says to Yah Ab and to all the people with him, Rip your clothes and gird with saq; and chop at the face of Abi Ner. And sovereign David walks after the bed:

² and Yah Ab sends to Teqoha and takes thence a wise woman and says to her, I pray you, feign yourself to be a mourner and enrobe mourning clothes; and anoint not yourself with oil: and be as a woman who mourns for the dead many days:

²³ And the servants of the sovereign of Aram say to him, Their elohim are elohim of the mountains; therefore they prevail over us; and we fight them in the plain and prevail over them:

²⁷ And so be it, Ach Ab hears those words, and he rips his clothes and sets saq on his flesh and fasts and lies down in saq and walks gently. ²⁸ And the word of Yah Veh comes to Eli Yah the Tisbehiy, saying, ²⁹ See how Ach Ab humbles himself at my face? Because he humbles himself at my face I bring no evil in his days: but in the days of his son I bring the evil on his house.

¹³ And his servants come near and word to him and say, My father, had the prophet worded you a great word, had you not worked it? And also, he says to you, Baptize and be purified.

⁴ If we say, We enter into the city, then the famine is in the city and we die there: and if we settle here, we die also. Now come and fall to the camp of the Aramiy: if they save us alive, we live; and if they deathify us, we die.

¹ And so be it, sovereign Yechizqi Yah hears, and he rips his clothes and covers himself with saq and goes into the house of Yah Veh. ² And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests - covered with saq to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos:

¹
ESTER TOLD OF THE PLOT OF HAMAN
And Mordekay perceives all that was worked, and Mordekay rips his clothes and enrobes saq with ashes; and goes midst the city and cries a great and a bitter cry; ² and he even comes at the face of the portal of the sovereign - for no one enters the portal of the sovereign enrobed with saq. ³ And in jurisdiction by jurisdiction whatever place the word of the sovereign and his edict touches, there is great mourning among the Yah Hudiym and fasting and weeping and chopping; and many spread in saq and ashes.

¹⁶ Go, gather all the Yah Hudiym found in Shushan and fast you for me; and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day; I and also my lasses fast likewise; and thus I go in to the sovereign, which is not according to the edict; and if I destruct, I destruct.

⁴ And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Skin for skin; yes, all a man has he gives for his soul;

²⁸ Mercy and truth guard the sovereign; and upholds his throne by mercy.

⁵ And established in mercy is the throne: and he sits thereon in truth in the tent of David - judging and seeking judgment and hasting justness.

¹² And in that day, Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth calls to weeping and to chopping and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth:

¹ And so be it, when sovereign Yechizqi Yah hears, he rips his clothes and covers himself with saq, and goes into the house of Yah Veh.

⁵ So the men of Nineveh trust Elohim and call a fast and enrobe saq - from their greatest even to their lesser. ⁶ And word touches to the sovereign of Nineveh; and he rises from his throne and passes his mighty mantle from him and covers himself with saq and sits in ashes:

²⁸ And awe not them who slaughter the body, but are not able to slaughter the soul: but rather awe him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gay Hinnom/the Valley of Burning.

⁷ in whom we have redemption through his blood - the forgiveness of backslidings according to the riches of his charism; ⁸ wherein he superabounds us in all wisdom and thought;

³
THE TWO WITNESSES
And I give to my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, arrayed in saq.

⁸ and he apprehends alive Agag the sovereign of the Amaleq and devotes all the people with the mouth of the sword. ⁹ And Shaul and the people spare Agag and the best of the flock and of the oxen and of the second sort and the rams and all the good; and wills to not devote them: but they devote all the vile and molten. ¹⁰ And the word of Yah Veh comes to Shemu El, saying, ¹¹ I sigh that I have Shaul to reign sovereign: for he turns back from after me and raises not my words. - and it inflames Shemu El and he cries to Yah Veh all night. ¹² And Shemu El starts early to meet Shaul in the morning, and they tell Shemu El, saying, Shaul comes to Karmel; and behold, he stations himself a hand: and he goes around and passes on and descends to Gilgal. ¹³ And Shemu El comes to Shaul: and Shaul says to him, Blessed - you of Yah Veh: I raise the word of Yah Veh. ¹⁴ And Shemu El says, What then - this voice of the flock in my ears? And the voice of the oxen I hear? ¹⁵ And Shaul says, They bring them from the Amaleqiy: for the people spared the best of the flock and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Yah Veh your Elohim; and the remainder we devote. ¹⁶ Then Shemu El says to Shaul, Loosen up and I tell you what Yah Veh worded me this night. And he says to him, Word. ¹⁷ And Shemu El says, Is it not, though you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the scions of Yisra El? And Yah Veh anoints you sovereign over Yisra El? ¹⁸ And Yah Veh sends you on a journey, and says, Go and devote the sinners the Amaleq! Fight them until you finish them off! ¹⁹ And why hearken you not to the voice of Yah Veh, but swoop on the spoil and work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh? ²⁰ And Shaul says to Shemu El, Because - I heard the voice of Yah Veh and went the way Yah Veh sent me and brought Agag the sovereign of Amaleq and devoted Amaleq:

³ Your silver and your gold is mine; and your women and your sons - the goodliest are mine. ⁴ And the sovereign of Yisra El answers and says, My adoni, O sovereign, according to your word, I am yours - and all I have. ⁵ And the angels return and say, Thus says Ben Hadad, saying, Although I send to you, saying, Give me your silver and your gold and your women and your sons; ⁶ yet tomorrow about this time I send my servants to you to search your house and the houses of your servants; and so be it, whatever is the desire of your eyes, they set in their hand and take away.

³¹ And his servants say to him, Behold now, we hear that the sovereigns of the house of Yisra El are merciful sovereigns: have us, I beseech you, set saq on our loins and lines on our heads and go to the sovereign of Yisra El: peradventure he keeps your soul alive.

⁴² and he says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Because you send away from your hand a man whom I devoted to destruction, so be it, your soul for his soul and your people for his people.

¹⁷ He walks counsellors away stripped and has the judges halal; ¹⁸ he loosens the bond of sovereigns and binds their loins with a girdle;

¹¹ scatter the fury of your wrath; see everyone who is pompous and abase him; ¹² see everyone who is pompous and subdue him; and trample the wicked in their place:

¹¹ The lofty eyes of humanity abase, and the haughtiness of men prostrates, and Yah Veh alone is exalted in that day. ¹² For the day of Yah Veh Sabaoth is upon all the pompous and lofty; and upon all the lifted and abased;

¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes.

²⁰ and when he lifted his heart and empowered his spirit in seething he was deposed from the throne of his sovereigndom, and his esteem passed from him ²¹ - expelled from the sons of men; and his heart was equated to live beings, and his whirling was with the onagers: they fed him with herbage as bulls, and his body was dyed with the dew of the heavens; until he knew that Elyon Elah is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and that he raises over it whomever he wills. ²² And you his bar, O Bel Shats Tsar, have not abased your heart even though you know all this; ²³ and you lift yourself against the Master of the heavens; and they bring the vessels of his house in front of you; and you and your nobles, your mistresses and your concubines drink fermentation in them; and you laud the elahim of silver and gold, of copper, iron, timber and stone, which neither see nor hear nor know: and Elah in whose hand your breath is, and whose all your ways are, you esteem not.

³ the arrogance of your heart deceives you - you who tabernacle in the clefts of the rock; whose settlement is high; he says in his heart, Who descends me to the earth? ⁴ Though you heighten as the eagle and though you set your nest among the stars, I descend you from there - an oracle of Yah Veh.

¹⁵ And he goes from there, and he finds Yah Nadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he blesses him, and says to him, Is your heart as straight as my heart with your heart? And Yah Nadab says, So be it. If so be it, give your hand. And he gives his hand; and ascends him to himself in the chariot;

¹³ As the cold of snow in the day of harvest, thus is a trustworthy ambassador to them who send him; for he restores the soul of his adonim.

⁸ And Adonay halals the unjust administrator because he did thoughtfully: for the sons of this eon in their generation are more thoughtful than the sons of light.

³¹ And he says, Indeed, how can I, unless someone guides me? - and he beseeches Philippos to ascend and sit with him.

⁴ And Ben Hadad hearkens to sovereign Asa and sends the governors of his valiant against the cities of Yisra El; and they smite Iyon and Dan and Abel Maim and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

³⁰ And the sovereign of Aram misvahs the governors of the chariots with him, saying, Fight not with small or great - except with the sovereign of Yisra El.

¹² You, say not, Conspiracy, to all them to whom this people say, Conspiracy; neither awe their awesomeness, nor be awed.

¹⁰ To the wicked, you grant charism; yet he learns not justness: in the land of straightforwardness he deals wickedly, and sees not the pomp of Yah Veh.

¹² And a man of the same place answers and says, And who is their father? So, so be it, a proverb, Is Shaul also among the prophets?

¹
THE MAN OF ELOHIM WITH THE WORD OF YAH VEH
And behold, there comes a man of Elohim from Yah Hudah by the word of Yah Veh to Beth El: and Yarob Am stands by the sacrifice altar to incense: ² and he calls out against the sacrifice altar in the word of Yah Veh, and says, Sacrifice altar! Sacrifice altar! Thus says Yah Veh: Behold, a son is birthed to the house of David, Yoshi Yah by name; and on you he sacrifices the priests of the bamahs who incense upon you; and burn human bones upon you.

¹⁷ for I was worded by the word of Yah Veh, Neither eat bread nor drink water there; nor return to go the way you came. ¹⁸ He says to him, I also am a prophet as you; and an angel worded to me by the word of Yah Veh, saying, Return him with you to your house to eat bread and drink water. - and he deceived him:

³⁷ Then he finds another man and says, Smite me, I beseech you. - and the man smites him, so that in smiting he wounds him. ³⁸ So the prophet goes and stands by for the sovereign by the way and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes:

³ And the sons of the prophets at Beth El go to Eli Shua and say to him, Know you that today Yah Veh takes your adoni from your head? And he says, Yes, I know; hush. ⁴ And Eli Yah says to him, Eli Shua, settle here, I beseech you; for Yah Veh sends me to Yericho. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. - and they come to Yericho. ⁵ And the sons of the prophets at Yericho come near to Eli Shua and say to him, Know you that today Yah Veh takes your adoni from your head? And he says, Yes, I know it; hush. ⁶ And Eli Yah says to him, Settle, I beseech you, here; for Yah Veh sends me to Yarden. And he says, Yah Veh lives and your soul lives; I leave you not. - and the two go on. ⁷ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets go and stand opposite afar off; and the two stand by Yarden;

¹⁵ And when the sons of the prophets opposite Yericho see him, they say, The spirit of Eli Yah rests on Eli Shua. And they come to meet him and prostrate themselves to the earth in front of him:

¹
THE OIL OF THE WIDOW
And one woman of the women of the sons of the prophets cries to Eli Shua, saying, Your servant my man died; and you know your servant awed Yah Veh: and the exactor comes to take my two children for servants.

³⁸
ELI SHUA PURGES THE POTTAGE
And Eli Shua returns to Gilgal: and there is a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets settle at his face: and he says to his lad, Set on the great caldron and stew pottage for the sons of the prophets.

¹⁸ Behold, I and the children Yah Veh gives me are for signs and for omens in Yisra El - from Yah Veh Sabaoth who tabernacles in mount Siyon.

² at the same time, Yah Veh words by the hand of Yesha Yah the son of Amos, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and pull your shoe from your foot. - and thus he works, walking naked and unshod. ³ And Yah Veh says, As my servant Yesha Yah walks naked and unshod three years for a sign and omen upon Misrayim and upon Kush;

² Thus says Yah Veh to me; Work yourself bonds and yoke poles and give them on your neck; ³ and send them to the sovereign of Edom and to the sovereign of Moab and to the sovereign of the sons of Ammon and to the sovereign of Sor and to the sovereign of Sidon by the hand of the angels who come to Yeru Shalem - to Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah:

³ and take an iron griddle to yourself; and give it for a wall of iron between you and between the city: and establish your face against it; and it becomes under siege and you siege against it - a sign to the house of Yisra El.

¹⁴ Then Amos answers and says to Amas Yah, I am neither a prophet nor a son of a prophet; but I am a herdman and a pincher of sycomores:

²⁴ Then Yah Shua says to his disciples, If anyone wills to come after me, he is to utterly deny himself, and take his stake and follow me.

²² And Shemu El says, Delights Yah Veh in holocausts and sacrifices as much as in hearing the voice of Yah Veh? Behold, hearing is better than sacrificing; and hearkening, than the fat of rams. ²³ For rebellion is the sin of divination and stubbornness, mischief and teraphim: because you refuse the word of Yah Veh he also refuses you from being sovereign.

²¹ and he calls to the man of Elohim who came from Yah Hudah, saying, Thus saith Yah Veh, Because you rebel the mouth of Yah Veh, and guard not the misvah Yah Veh your Elohim misvahs you; ²² and return, and eat bread and drink water in the place whereof he worded you, Neither eat bread nor drink water; your carcase comes not to the tomb of your fathers. ²³ And so be it, after he eats bread and after he drinks, he harnesses the he burro, of the prophet he had returned: ²⁴ and when he goes a lion finds him by the way and deathifies him: and his carcase is cast in the way and the he burro stands beside it, and the lion stands beside the carcase:

²⁶ And the prophet who returned him from the way hears and says, It is the man of Elohim who rebelled the mouth of Yah Veh: therefore Yah Veh gives him to the lion to break him and deathify him according to the word Yah Veh worded to him.

¹²
JUDGMENTS FOR INJURIES
He who smites a man, thus he dies: in deathifying, deathify him.

³⁵
A SON OF THE PROPHETS ORDERS A SMITING
And one man of the sons of the prophets says to his friend, By the word of Yah Veh, smite me, I beseech you. And the man refuses to smite him.

² and Yarob Am says to his woman, Rise, I beseech thee, and alter yourself, that you not be known to be the woman of Yarob Am; and go to Shiloh: behold, Achiy Yah the prophet there, who worded of me as sovereign over this people:

³⁰ and the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, I disguise myself and enter the war; but you enrobe your clothes. - and the sovereign of Yisra El disguises himself and goes to war.

¹⁶
FASTING
Moreover whenever you fast, be not exactly as the hypocrites - sullen: for they camouflage their faces, to manifest to humanity they fast. Amen! I word to you, They have their reward.

³⁰ If a koper/an atonement is set on him, then he gives whatever is set on him to redeem his soul.

⁷ And when they tell Yah Tham, he goes and stands in the top of mount Gerizim and lifts his voice and calls out and says to them, Hearken to me, you masters of Shechem, and Elohim hearkens to you! ⁸ In going, the trees go to anoint a sovereign over them; and they say to the olive tree, Reign over us. ⁹ And the olive tree says to them, I - forsake I my fatness wherewith by me they honor Elohim and man - to go wave over the trees? ¹⁰ And the trees say to the fig tree, Come and reign over us. ¹¹ And the fig tree says to them, I - forsake I my sweetness and my good produce - to go wave over the trees? ¹² Then the trees say to the vine, Come and reign over us. ¹³ And the vine says to them, I - forsake I my juice which cheers Elohim and man to go wave over the trees? ¹⁴ Then all the trees say to the thorn, Come and reign over us. ¹⁵ And the thorn says to the trees, If in truth you anoint me sovereign over you, then seek refuge in my shadow: and if not, fire comes from the thorn and consumes the cedars of Lebanon. ¹⁶ And now, if you work truly and integriously and have Abi Melech to reign; and if you work good with Yerub Baal and his house; and work to him according to the dealing of his hands; ¹⁷ - for my father fought for you and cast his soul from him and rescued you from the hand of Midyaniy: ¹⁸ and you rise against the house of my father this day and slaughter his sons - seventy men, on one stone, and have Abi Melech the son of his maid to reign over the masters of Shechem - because he is your brother; ¹⁹ if you then work truly and integriously with Yerub Baal and with his house this day, then cheer in Abi Melech and he cheers in you: ²⁰ and if not, fire comes from Abi Melech to consume the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo; and fire comes from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo and consumes Abi Melech.

¹
NATHAN REBUKES DAVID
And Yah Veh sends Nathan to David: and he comes to him and says to him, Two men are in one city - the one rich and the one impoverished: ² the rich has mighty abundant flocks and oxen; ³ but the impoverished has naught - except one little ewe lamb which he chatteled and livened: and it grows together with him and with his sons: it eats of his own morsel and drinks of his own cup and lies down in his bosom as his daughter. ⁴ And a wayfarer comes to the rich man; and he spares to take of his own flock and of his own oxen, to work for the caravan that comes to him: but takes the ewe lamb of the impoverished man and works it for the man who comes to him. ⁵ And David kindles his wrath mightily against the man; and he says to Nathan, Yah Veh lives! The man who works this is a son of death: ⁶ and have him shalam fourfold for the ewe lamb because he works this word, and finally, has no compassion. ⁷ And Nathan says to David, You are the man! Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anointed you sovereign over Yisra El and I rescued you from the hand of Shaul;

⁵ And the sovereign says to her, What - to you? And she says, I am truly a widow woman; and my man dies: ⁶ and your maid has two sons and the two strive in the field and there is no rescuer between them, and the one smites the first and deathifies him: ⁷ and behold, the whole family rises against your maid and they say, Give him who smote his brother - to deathify him for the soul of his brother he slaughtered; and we desolate his successor also: and so they quench my coal which survives and set neither name nor survivors to my man on the face of the soil.

²⁴ And they go in to work sacrifices and holocausts, and Yah Hu sets eighty men outside and says, The man who allows any of the men I bring to your hands to escape - his soul for his soul.

¹⁸ because of fury, lest he goad you with gluttony; then a great koper/atonement spreads not to you.

⁷ In redeeming, man neither redeems his brother, nor gives Elohim a koper/an atonement for him;

³⁵ he neither lifts the face of any koper/atonement; nor wills he though you abound bribes.

⁸ The koper/atonement of the soul of a man are his riches; and the impoverished hear not rebuke.

¹
THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD
And he begins to word to them in parables: A human plants a vineyard and sets a hedge around it and digs a winevat and builds a tower and leases it to cultivators and goes abroad: ² and at the season he apostolizes a servant to the cultivators to take from the cultivators of the fruit of the vineyard: ³ and they take him and flog him and apostolize him away empty. ⁴ And again he apostolizes another servant to them: and they cast stones at him and strike him in the head; and apostolize him away dishonorably handled. ⁵ And again he apostolizes another: and they slaughter him - and many others; indeed flogging some and slaughtering some. ⁶ So still having one son - his wellbeloved, he finally also apostolizes him to them, wording, They respect my son. ⁷ But those cultivators say among themselves, This is the heir! Come! Slaughter him! And the inheritance becomes ours. ⁸ - and they take him and slaughter him and cast him from the vineyard. ⁹ So what does the adoni of the vineyard? He comes and destroys the cultivators and gives the vineyard to others. ¹⁰ And read you not this scripture; The stone the builders disapproved becomes the head of the corner: ¹¹ this becomes of Yah Vah, and it is marvellous in our eyes? ^{Psalm 118:22, 23 12}
ATTEMPTS TO OVERPOWER YAH SHUA
And they seek to overpower him but awe the multitude: for they know he says the parable against them: and they forsake him, and go their way:

¹⁸ knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptibles as silver or gold of your vain patriarchal traditions; ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb, unblemished and unstained:

⁶ your own mouth judges you wicked - not I; yes, your own lips answer against you.

⁴¹ They word to him, He evilly destroys those evil men, and leases his vineyard to other cultivators who give him the fruits in their seasons. ⁴² Yah Shua words to them, Read you never ever in the scriptures, The stone the builders disapprove, the same becomes the head of the corner: this becomes of Yah Vah and it is marvellous in our eyes? ^{Psalm 118:22, 23 43} So I word to you, The sovereigndom of Elohim is taken from you and given to a goyim producing the fruits thereof.

²⁴ He who took the one talent weight comes and says, Adoni, I know you, that you are a hard human, harvesting where you spore not, and gathering together where you scatter not: ²⁵ and being awestricken, I went and secreted your talent weight in the soil: behold, you have your own. ²⁶ His adoni answers him, saying, You evil and slothful servant, you know I harvest where I spore not, and gather together where I scatter not: ²⁷ so you needed to put my silver to the exchangers, and then at my coming I had received my own with interest.

²² And he words to him, From your own mouth I judge you, evil servant: you know I am an austere human, taking what I place not, and harvest what I spore not:

¹⁹ And Tamar takes ashes on her head and rips the coverall coat on her and sets her hand on her head: and in walking, walks on crying.

⁸ And he takes a potsherd to scrape himself; and he settles among the ashes.

²⁶ O daughter of my people, gird with saq, and wallow yourself in ashes: work your mourning, as for an only son - a chopping most bitter: for the ravager comes on us suddenly.

⁹ And Shaul and the people spare Agag and the best of the flock and of the oxen and of the second sort and the rams and all the good; and wills to not devote them: but they devote all the vile and molten. ¹⁰ And the word of Yah Veh comes to Shemu El, saying, ¹¹ I sigh that I have Shaul to reign sovereign: for he turns back from after me and raises not my words. - and it inflames Shemu El and he cries to Yah Veh all night.

³⁴ and says to him, The cities my father took from your father, I restore; and set outways for yourself in Dammeseq, as my father set in Shomeron. Then he says, I send you away with this covenant. - and he cuts a covenant with him and sends him away.

³⁹ and as the sovereign passes by, he cries to the sovereign and he says, Your servant goes midst the war; and behold, a man turns aside and brings a man to me and says, Guard this man: if in missing, he is missing, then your soul is for his soul; or else weigh a round of silver.

³¹ And the sovereign of Aram misvahs his thirty-two governors who rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only, with the sovereign of Yisra El. ³² And so be it, the governors of the chariots see Yah Shaphat, and they say, Surely it is the sovereign of Yisra El. And they turn to fight him: and Yah Shaphat cries out. ³³ And so be it, the governors of the chariots see it is not the sovereign of Yisra El, and they turn back from after him. ³⁴ And a man draws a bow in his integrity and smites the sovereign of Yisra El between the joints of the habergeon: and he says to his charioteer, Turn your hand and bring me from the camp; for I am sick. ³⁵ And the war ascends that day: and the sovereign stays in his chariot against the Aramiy and dies at evening: and the blood from the stroke pours into the bosom of the chariot. ³⁶ And a shout passes through the camp at about the descent of the sun, saying, Every man to his city and every man to his own land. ³⁷ And the sovereign dies and enters Shomeron; and they entomb the sovereign in Shomeron:

²⁴
FAMINE IN SHOMERON
And so be it, afterward, Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram gathers all his camp and ascends and besieges Shomeron;

¹² And Haza El says, Why weeps my adoni? And he says, Because I know the evil you work to the sons of Yisra El: you send their fortresses on fire; and slaughter their youths with the sword; and splatter their sucklings and split open their conceivers.

³³ and in his integrity, a man draws a bow and smites the sovereign of Yisra El between the joints of the habergeon. And he says to his charioteer, Turn your hand, to bring me from the camp; for I sicken. ³⁴ And the war ascends that day: and the sovereign of Yisra El stays in his chariot against the Aramiy until the evening: and about the time of the descending of the sun, he dies.

⁴ And Ach Ab comes to his house peeved and enraged because of the word Naboth the Yizre Eliy words to him: for he said, I give you not the inheritance of my fathers: and he lies down on his bed and turns away his face and eats no bread.

¹³ And all this equates me naught, all the time I see Mordekay the Yah Hudiy settling at the portal of the sovereign.

¹² And Mordekay returns to the portal of the sovereign; and Haman hastens to his house mourning and covers his head: ¹³ and Haman scribes to Zeresh his woman and all his loved ones of all that befalls him. And his wise men and Zeresh his woman say to him, If Mordekay is of the seed of the Yah Hudiym, at the face of whom you begin to fall, you prevail not against him: but in falling, fall at his face.

² For vexation slaughters the foolish and envy deathifies the enticed.

³ The folly of humanity perverts his way; whose heart rages against Yah Veh.
