Then they fell before Jonathan: and his harness bearer slew them after him. ¹⁴ And that first slaughter which Jonathan and his harness bearer made was upon a twenty men, within the compass as it were about a half acre of land. ¹⁵ And there was a fear in the host that was in the field, and among all the people: insomuch that they that kept the hold, and they that were gone to rob, were afraid also: and the earth trembled and there was a fear sent of God. ¹⁶ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin saw. And behold, the people scattered and ran hither and thither. ¹⁷ Then said Saul unto the people that was with him, "Number, and see who is gone away from us." And when they had told: behold, Jonathan and his harness bearer were not there. ¹⁸ And then Saul said unto Ahijah, "Bring hither the ark of God." For the ark of God was at the time with the children of Israel. ¹⁹ And while Saul talked unto the priest, the people that were in the host of the Philistines ran more and more. And Saul said unto the priest, "Withdraw thine hand." ²⁰ And Saul cried, and all the people that were with him, and went to battle. And behold every man's sword was against his fellow, with a mighty great slaughter. ²¹ Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, and were come with them in all parts of the host, joined themselves unto Israel which were with Saul and Jonathan. ²² And they also which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, as soon as they heard how that the Philistines were fled, they followed after them in battle.

⁶ For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, and the noise of a great Host. Insomuch that they said one to another, "See, the king of Israel hath hired against us, the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt, to come upon us."

⁷ For I will send him a blast that he shall hear tidings, and so return to his own land: And I will overthrow him with the sword even in his own land.'"

⁴ There is a noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people, a rushing as though the kingdoms of all nations had come together. And the LORD of Hosts mustereth his army to battle.

¹ Thus sayeth the LORD unto Cyrus his anointed, whom I have taken by the righthand, to subdue nations before him: I will loose the girdles of kings, that they shall open the gates before thy face, and not to shut their doors. ² I will go before thee, and make the crooked straight. I shall break the brazen doors, and burst the iron bars.

¹² But I will gather thee indeed, O Jacob, and drive the remnant of Israel all together. I shall carry them one with another, as a flock in the fold, and as the cattle in their stalls, that they may be disquieted of other men. ¹³ Whoso breaketh the gap, he shall go before. They shall break up the port, and go in and out at it. Their king shall go before them, and the LORD shall be upon the head of them.

² And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as it had been the coming of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they sat.

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. ¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.

²² And Noah did according to all that God commanded him.

⁴² According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, even so the children of Israel made all the work. ⁴³ And Moses beheld all the work, and see, they had done it even as the LORD commanded: and then Moses blessed them.

¹⁰ Notwithstanding, they drave not out the Cananites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Cananites dwelt among the Ephraimites unto this day, and pay tribute.

²⁵ And David did as the LORD commanded him, and smote the Philistines from Gibeah to Gezer.

⁶⁷ In which tribe they gave unto them the cities of Refuge: Shechem in mount Ephraim with her suburbs, and Gezer with her suburbs,

⁵ His mother said unto the ministers, "Whatsoever he sayeth unto you, do it."

¹⁷ If ye understand these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹⁴ The nations heard, and were afraid. Pangs came upon the Philistines. ¹⁵ Then the dukes of the Edomites were amazed, and trembling came upon the mightiest of the Moabites, and all the inhabiters of Canaan waxed faint-hearted. ¹⁶ Let fear and dread fall upon them through the greatness of thine arm, and let them be as still as a stone, while thy people pass through, O LORD; while the people pass through, which thou hast gotten.

²⁵ This day I will begin to send the fear and dread of thee upon all nations that are under all ports of heaven: so that when they hear speak of thee, they shall tremble and quake for fear of thee.'

²⁵ There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall cast the fear and dread of you upon all lands whither ye shall come, as he hath said unto you,

⁹ and said unto the men, "I know that the LORD hath given you the land, both because that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and because that the inhabiters of the land faint at your coming. ¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the reed sea before you, when you came out of Egypt, and what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites on the other side Jordan; Sihon, and Og, which ye utterly destroyed. ¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint. And there remained no more courage in any man for fear of your coming. For the LORD your God; he is the God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.

²⁷ And the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame was heard, throughout all lands.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, "It was told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabiters thereof out of your sight, and therefore we were exceeding sore afraid of our lives because of you.

⁸ And the Ammonites gave tribute to Uzziah, and his name spread abroad even to Egypt: for he played the man and exceeded.

⁴⁴ As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me, but the strange children dissemble with me. {TYNDALE: And the aliens crouched unto me, and obeyed me at a word.}
