Two orders 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 looking toward the Negev 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 handbreadth 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 also made ten lavers and put five on the right hand and five on the left, to wash in them; they cleansed the work of the burnt offering in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. ⁷ And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. ⁸ He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made one hundred basins of gold. ⁹ Furthermore, he made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court and overlaid the doors of them with brass. ¹⁰ And he set the sea on the right side towards the east, over against the Negev. ¹¹ ¶ And Hiram made the pots and the shovels and the basins. And Hiram finished the work, that he had been making for King Solomon for the house of God, ¹² Two pillars and the pommels and the chapiters, which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; ¹³ four hundred pomegranates on the two networks; two orders of pomegranates on each network, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars. ¹⁴ He also made the bases upon which he placed the lavers; ¹⁵ one sea, and twelve oxen under it; ¹⁶ and the pots and the shovels and the fleshhooks and all their vessels, did Hiram, his father, make to King Solomon for the house of the LORD of the purest brass. ¹⁷ In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in clay of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah. ¹⁸ Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

⁴ And he built Tadmor in the wilderness and all the store cities, which he built in the wilderness.

¹⁵ And King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to each buckler. ¹⁶ And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three hundred shekels of gold went to each shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

² And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah and set garrisons in the land of Judah and likewise in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa, his father had taken.

¹¹ And Amaziah strengthened himself and led forth his people and went to the valley of salt and smote of the sons of Seir, ten thousand.

⁸ And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah; and his name spread abroad even to the entrance of Egypt, for he strengthened himself exceedingly.

¹³ God will not withdraw his anger, and under him those who help, unto pride are bent over.

¹¹ And all those that put their trust in thee shall rejoice: they shall ever be in jubilee, for thou shalt cover them; and all that love thy name shall be joyful in thee. ¹² For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

³⁴ He trains my hands for the battle, so that a bow of bronze shall be broken by my arms. ³⁵ In the same manner thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand will hold me up, and thy meekness shall multiply me. ³⁶ Thou shall enlarge my steps under me, and my knees shall not tremble. ³⁷ I shall pursue my enemies and overtake them: neither shall I turn again until they are consumed. ³⁸ I shall smite them, and they will not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet. ³⁹ For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued my enemies under me. ⁴⁰ Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies that I might destroy those that hate me. ⁴¹ They cried out, but there was no one to save them: even unto the LORD, but he did not answer them. ⁴² Then I beat them as small as the dust before the wind: I scattered them as the dirt in the streets. ⁴³ Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the Gentiles: a people whom I did not know served me. ⁴⁴ As soon as they heard of me, they obeyed me: the sons of strangers submitted themselves unto me even against their will. ⁴⁵ The strangers fell away and were afraid in their close places. ⁴⁶ The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

⁷ Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

¹⁶ The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength. ¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

⁶ ¶ Thy throne, O God, is eternal and for ever, the rod of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. ⁷ Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

¹ To the Overcomer upon
Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. ¶ O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us; thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

⁸ Moab is my washpot; over Edom I will cast out my shoe; Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

² ¶ He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy poor with judgment.

⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. ¹¹ Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; all Gentiles shall serve him.

² When I shall receive the congregation, I will judge uprightly.

⁷¹ from following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his people and Israel his inheritance. ⁷² So he fed them out of the integrity of his heart and guided them by the intelligence of his hands.

⁴ They have said, Come and let us cut them off from being a people that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. ⁵ Therefore they have consulted together with one consent; they are confederate against thee: ⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Hagarenes;

⁶ The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; of Moab and the Hagarenes; ⁷ Gebal and Ammon and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; ⁸ Assur also is joined with them: they are an arm unto the sons of Lot. Selah.

¹⁴ Thy throne is composed of righteousness and judgment; mercy and truth go before thy face.

¹ A Psalm of David. ¶ I will sing of mercy and judgment; unto thee, O LORD, will I sing. ² When thou shalt come unto me, I will walk in the way of perfection and understand. I will walk in the midst of my house in the perfection of my heart. ³ I will set nothing of Belial before my eyes: I hate the work of those that betray; it shall not cleave to me. ⁴ A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know a wicked person. ⁵ Whosoever secretly slanders his neighbour, I will cut off; he that has a high look and a proud heart I will not suffer. ⁶ My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he that walks in the way of perfection, he shall serve me. ⁷ He that works deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that tells lies shall not tarry in my sight. ⁸ I will early destroy all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the LORD.

⁹ Moab shall be my washpot; over Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia I will triumph.

⁹ Moab shall be my washpot; over Edom I will cast my shoe; over Philistia I will triumph. ¹⁰ Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

⁴ Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. ⁵ The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. ⁶ The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. ⁷ The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy soul. ⁸ The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

⁸ Neither did those who go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.

⁷ O GOD the Lord, the strength of my saving health, cover thou my head in the day of battle.

¹ A Psalm of David. ¶ Blessed be the LORD my strength, who trains my hands for the battle and my fingers for the war: ² My mercy and my fortress; my high tower and my deliverer; my shield and he in whom I trust, who subdues my people under me.

³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but salvation is of the LORD.

⁸ For the head of Syria shall be Damascus, and the head of Damascus Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken, and it shall never again be a people.

⁹ ¶ Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries, prepare yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. ¹⁰ Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand, for God is with us.

⁷ The multitude of his dominion and the peace shall have no end upon the throne of David and upon his Kingdom, ordering it and confirming it in judgment and in righteousness from now on even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of the hosts will perform this.

³ Now the Egyptian is a man, and not God, and his horses flesh, and not spirit, so that as the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they shall all fail together.

¹⁶ Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make peace with me and come out to me and eat each one of his vine and each one of his fig tree and drink each one the waters of his own cistern

¹ ¶ At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and presents to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick and was recovered.

¹⁵ Shalt thou reign, because thou dost enclose thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink and do judgment and righteousness, and then it was well with him? ¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Is this not to know me? said the LORD.

⁵ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper and shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. ⁶ In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this shall be his name by which they shall call him, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

¹⁶ therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said; Behold, I stretch out my hand upon the Palestinians, and I will cut off the Cherethims and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

¹⁶ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

¹⁵ Hate the evil and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate; it may be that the LORD God of the hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

²⁴ But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

² Pass unto Calneh and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Palestinians. Are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

¹³ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs bronze; and thou shalt break in pieces many peoples; and thou shalt consecrate their spoil unto the LORD and their riches unto the Lord of the whole earth.

⁵ Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the people of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Palestinians, I will cause thee to be destroyed until there shall be no inhabitant left.
