¹ And it came to pass after this, that David struck the Philistines, and put them to flight, and David took the tribute from out of the hand of the Philistines. ² And David struck Moab, and measured them out with lines, having laid them down on the ground: and there were two lines for slaying, and two lines he kept alive: and Moab became servants to David, yielding tribute. ³ And David struck Adraazar the son of Raab king of Suba, as he went to extend his power to the river Euphrates. ⁴ And David took a thousand of his chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all his chariot [horses], and he reserved to himself a hundred chariots. ⁵ And Syria of Damascus comes to help Adraazar king of Suba, and David struck twenty-two thousand men belonging to the Syrian. ⁶ And David placed a garrison in Syria near Damascus, and the Syrians became servants and tributaries to David: and the Lord preserved David wherever he went. ⁷ And David took the golden bracelets which were on the servants of Adraazar king of Suba, and brought them to Jerusalem. And Susakim king of Egypt took them, when he went up to Jerusalem in the days of Roboam son of Solomon. ⁸ And king David took from Metebac, and from the choice cities of Adraazar, very much brass: with that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the furniture. ⁹ And You the king of Hemath heard that David had struck all the host of Adraazar. ¹⁰ And You sent Jedduram his son to king David, to ask him of his welfare, and to congratulate him on his fighting against Adraazar and striking him, for he was an enemy to Adraazar: and in his hands were vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass. ¹¹ And these king David consecrated to the Lord, with the silver and with the gold which he consecrated out of all the cities which he conquered, ¹² out of Idumea, and out of Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalec, and from the spoils of Adraazar son of Raab king of Suba. ¹³ And David made [himself] a name: and when he returned he struck Idumea in Gebelem to [the number of] eighteen thousand. ¹⁴ And he set garrisons in Idumea, even in all Idumea: and all the Idumeans were servants to the king. And the Lord preserved David wherever he went. ¹⁵ And David reigned over all Israel: and David wrought judgment and justice over all his people. ¹⁶ And Joab the son of Saruia [was] over the host; and Josaphat the son of Achilud [was keeper] of the records. ¹⁷ And Sadoc the son of Achitob, and Achimelech son of Abiathar, [were] priests; and Sasa [was] the scribe, ¹⁸ and Banaeas son of Jodae [was] councillor, and the Chelethite and the Phelethite, and the sons of David, were princes of the court.

¹ And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in his stead. ² And David said, I will show mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon. ³ And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honor your father before you that David has sent comforters to you? Has not David rather sent his servants to you that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it? ⁴ And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, and sent them away. ⁵ And they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonored: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] you⌃ shall return. ⁶ And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men. ⁷ And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men. ⁸ And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field. ⁹ And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria. ¹⁰ And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon. ¹¹ And he said, If Syria be too strong for me, then shall you⌃ help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for you, then will we be ready to help you. ¹² Be you courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes. ¹³ And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him. ¹⁴ And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. ¹⁵ And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together. ¹⁶ And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head. ¹⁷ And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him. ¹⁸ And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he struck Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there. ¹⁹ And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.

²⁶ even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Aelath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession. ⁹ You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

⁸ They have taken counsel and spoken in wickedness: they have uttered unrighteousness loftily. ⁹ They have set their mouth against heaven, and their tongue has gone through upon the earth.

²² and the kings of Tyre, and the kings of Sidon, and the kings in the [country] beyond the sea,

²² And the king sent men into Egypt;

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven shall set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and his kingdom shall not be left to another people, [but] it shall beat to pieces and grind to powder all [other] kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. ⁴⁵ Whereas you saw that a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it beat to pieces the earthenware, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the great God has made known to the king what must happen hereafter: and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof sure.

⁹ For her plague has become grievous; for it has come even to Juda; and has reached to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.

³ And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

¹⁸ But Abraam shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blest.

³ And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole burnt offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him,

¹⁰ And Abraam stretched forth his hand to take the knife to kill his son.

⁴ And I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest in your seed. ⁵ Because Abraam your father listened to my voice, and kept my injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.

³⁰ Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel, I said, Your house and the house of your father shall pass before me for ever: but now the Lord says, That be far from me; for I will only honor them that honor me, and he that sets me at nothing shall be despised.

¹⁷ until I go into the sanctuary of God; [and so] understand the latter end.

²³ but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you⌃ my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you⌃ shall be to me a people: and walk you⌃ in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.

³¹ Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore.

²⁸ and Cholaseola, and Beersabee; and their villages, and their hamlets,

¹ And all the children of Israel went out, and all the congregation was gathered as one man, from Dan even to Bersabee, and in the land of Galaad, to the Lord at Massepha.

²⁶ And Tharrha lived seventy years, and begot Abram, and Nachor, and Arrhan.

²⁹ And Abram and Nachor took to themselves wives, the name of the wife of Abram was Sara, and the name of the wife of Nachor, Malcha, daughter of Arrhan, and he was the father of Malcha, the father of Jescha.

¹⁰ And the servant took ten camels of his master's camels, and [he took] of all the goods of his master with him, and he arose and went into Mesopotamia to the city of Nachor.

¹⁵ And it came to pass before he had done speaking in his mind, that behold, Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Melcha, the wife of Nachor, and [the same] the brother of Abraam, came forth, having a water-pot on her shoulders.

²⁴ And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bathuel the son of Melcha, whom she bore to Nachor.

⁵³ The God of Abraam and the God of Nachor judge between us; and Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.

²⁵ As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.

⁷ And he took up his parable, and said, Balac king of Moab sent for me out of Mesopotamia, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and Come, call for a curse for me upon Israel.

¹ There was a certain man in the land of Ausis, whose name [was] Job; and than man was true, blameless, righteous, [and] godly, abstaining from everything evil.

² Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.

¹ (61) For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer. ² From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me: ³ because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy. ⁴ I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. Pause. ⁵ For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name. ⁶ You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations. ⁷ He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth? ⁸ So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

⁴⁷ And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? tell me; and she said, I am daughter of Bathuel the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him; and I put on her the ear-rings, and the bracelets on her hands.

⁵¹ Behold, Rebecca is before you, take her and go away, and let her be wife to the son of your master, as the Lord has said.

⁶⁷ And Isaac went into the house of his mother, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted for Sarrha his mother.

²⁰ Abraam begot Isaac. And Isaac was forty years old when he took as wife Rebecca, daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, out of Syrian Mesopotamia, sister of Laban the Syrian.

² Rise and depart quickly into Mesopotamia, to the house of Bathuel the father of your mother, and take to yourself thence a wife of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

⁵ So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went into Mesopotamia to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca the mother of Jacob and Esau.

³ So Sara the wife of Abram having taken Agar the Egyptian her handmaid, after Abram had lived ten years in the land of Chanaan, gave her to Abram her husband as a wife to him.

⁶ But to the sons of his concubines Abraam gave gifts, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, while he was yet living, to the east into the country of the east.

²⁵ The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.
