¹³ And one told Tamar, saying, "Behold, thy father-in-law goeth up to Timnath, to shear his sheep." ¹⁴ And she put her widow's garments off from her and covered her with a cloak, and disguised herself: And sat her down at the entering of Enaim which is by the high way's side to Timnath, for because she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife. ¹⁵ When Judah saw her, he thought it had been an whore, because she had covered her face. ¹⁶ And turned to her unto the way and said, "Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee." For he knew not that it was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What wilt thou give me, for to lie with me?" ¹⁷ Then said he, "I will send thee a kid from the flock." She answered, "Then give me a pledge till thou send it." ¹⁸ Then said he, "What pledge shall I give thee?" And she said, "Thy signet, thy necklace, and thy staff that is in thy hand." And he gave it her and lay by her, and she was with child by him. ¹⁹ And she gat her up and went and put her mantle from her, and put on her widow's raiment again. ²⁰ And Judah sent the kid by his neighbour of Adullam, for to fetch out his pledge again from the woman. But he found her not. ²¹ Then asked he the men of the same place saying, "Where is the whore that sat at Enaim in the way?" And they said, "There was no whore here." ²² And he came to Judah again, saying, "I cannot find her, and also the men of the place said that there was no whore there." ²³ And Judah said, "Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: for I sent the kid and thou couldest not find her." ²⁴ And it came to pass that after three months, one told Judah, saying, "Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the whore, and with playing the whore is become great with child." And Judah said, "Bring her forth and let her be burnt." ²⁵ And when they brought her forth, she sent to her father-in-law saying, "By the man unto whom these things pertain, am I with child." And said also, "Look whose are this seal, necklace, and staff." ²⁶ And Judah knew them, saying, "She is more righteous than I, because I gave her not to Shelah my son." But he lay with her no more. ²⁷ When time was come that she should be delivered, behold there was two twins in her womb. ²⁸ And as she travailed, the one put out his hand and the midwife took and bound a red thread about it, saying, "This will come out first." ²⁹ But he plucked his hand back again, and his brother came out. And she said, "Wherefore hast thou rent a rent upon thee?" And called him Perez. ³⁰ And afterward came out his brother that had the red thread about his hand, which was called Zerah.

¹⁷ Then he brought the kindreds of Judah, and found the kindred of the Zerahites guilty. ¹⁸ And he brought the kindred of the Zerahites by householders, and Zabdi was caught. And he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah in the tribe of Judah was caught.

²⁶ Bring not therefore the Abomination to thine house, lest thou be a damned thing as it is: but utterly defy it and abhor it, for it is a thing that must be destroyed.

¹⁷ And see that there cleave nought of the damned thing in thine hand, that the LORD may turn from his fierce wrath and show thee mercy and have compassion on thee and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers:

¹⁸ And in any wise beware of the excommunicate things, lest ye make yourselves excommunicate. For if you take of the excommunicate things, so shall you make the host of Israel excommunicate and shall trouble it.

¹ But yet the children of Israel trespassed in the excommunicate things: for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, took of the excommunicate things. And the wrath of the LORD waxed hot against the children of Israel. ² Then Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, "Get you up and view the country." And the men went up and spied out Ai, ³ and returned unto Joshua and said unto him, "Let not all the people go up, but let as it were a two or three thousand men go up and destroy Ai, and make not all the people to labour thither, for they are but few." ⁴ And so there went up thither about a three thousand men, which fled before the men of Ai. ⁵ And the men of Ai smote of them upon a thirty and six men, and chased them before the gates even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down. And the hearts of the people were discouraged and melted like water.

¹¹ Israel hath sinned and also transgressed my covenant, which I commanded them, and have taken of the excommunicate things, and have stolen and hid them, and also put them unto their own stuff: ¹² And therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they be excommunicate. Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you. ¹³ Up, and sanctify the people and bid them to sanctify themselves against the morrow: for so sayeth the LORD God of Israel, 'The excommunication is among you Israel, and therefore ye cannot stand before your enemies, until ye have put the excommunication from among you. ¹⁴ Tomorrow morning ye shall come by your tribes. And the tribe which the LORD shall find guilty, shall come by kindreds. And the kindred which the LORD shall find guilty, shall come by households. And the household which the LORD shall find faulty, shall come man by man. ¹⁵ And he that is found in the excommunication shall be burnt with fire, both he and all that pertaineth unto him, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.'"

²⁵ And Joshua said, "Inasmuch as thou hast troubled us: the LORD shall trouble thee this day." And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, and overwhelmed them with stones.

²⁰ Did not Achan the son of Zerah trespass in the excommunicate things, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel, so that he alone perished not for his wickedness?'"

¹ The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur and Shobal.

¹⁹ Hezron begat Ram, Ram begat Amminadab,

¹⁸ And Caleb the son of Hezron begat Azubah, a woman, and Jerioth whose sons are these: Jesher, Shobab and Ardon. ¹⁹ But Azubah died, and Caleb took Ephrath which bare him Hur.

²⁴ And after the death of Hezron at Calebephrata, Abia his wife bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa.

⁴² The sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were Meshah his eldest son, which was the father of Ziph, and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.

³ And he came into all the coasts about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins,

⁷ In the tribe of Judah, Nahshon the son of Amminadab;

³ On the east side, toward the rising of the sun, shall they of the standard of the host of Judah pitch with their arms; and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain over the sons of Judah:

¹² He that offered his offering the first day, was Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

¹⁷ and for peace offerings two oxen, five rams, five he-goats and five lambs of a year old. And this was the gift of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

¹⁴ even the standard of the host of Judah removed first with their armies, whose captain was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

¹⁹ Hezron begat Ram, Ram begat Amminadab, ²⁰ Amminadab begat Nahshon, Nahshon begat Salmon,

⁴ Ram begat Amminadab; Amminadab begat Nahshon; Nahshon begat Salmon;

³² which was the son of Jesse: which was the son of Obed: which was the son of Boaz: which was the son of Salmon: which was the son of ³³ Nahshon: which was the son of Amminadab: which was the son of Arni: which was the son of Hezron: which was the son of Perez: which was the son of Judah:

²¹ Salmon begat Boaz, Boaz begat Obed,

⁴ Ram begat Amminadab; Amminadab begat Nahshon; Nahshon begat Salmon; ⁵ Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; Obed begat Jesse;

³² which was the son of Jesse: which was the son of Obed: which was the son of Boaz: which was the son of Salmon: which was the son of

²² Obed begat Jesse, Jesse begat David.

¹ And then the LORD said unto Samuel, "How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have cast him away from reigning over Israel? Fill a horn with ointment, and come: I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have spied me a king among his sons."

¹⁴ and asked not of the LORD. And therefore the Lord killed him and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

¹ There shall come a rod out of the stock of Jesse, and a branch shall spring out of his root.

¹⁰ Then shall the Gentiles enquire after the root of Jesse, which shall be set up for a token unto the Gentiles; for his dwelling shall be glorious.

⁵ Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; Obed begat Jesse;

²² And after he had put him down, he set up David to be their king: of whom he gave reported, saying, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, he shall fulfill all my will.'

¹² And in another place Isaiah saith, "There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the gentiles: in him shall the gentiles trust."

⁶ And when they were come, he looked on Eliab and said, "The LORD's anointed is before him." ⁷ But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his fashion nor on the height of his stature, for I have refused him. Because it is not as man seeth. For man looketh on the outward appearance: but the LORD beholdeth the heart." ⁸ Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen this." ⁹ Then Jesse made Shammah come, and he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen him." ¹⁰ Then made Jesse seven of his sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said, "The LORD hath chosen none of these." ¹¹ Then said Samuel to Jesse, "Are here all thy children?" And he said, "The youngest is yet behind. Behold, he keepeth the sheep." Then Samuel said unto Jesse, "Send and fetch him for we will not sit down, till he be come hither." ¹² And he sent and brought him in. And he was brown with goodly eyes, and well favoured in sight. And then the LORD said, "Up and anoint him: for this is he." ¹³ And Samuel took the horn with the ointment and anointed him in the presence of his brethren. And the spirit of the LORD came upon David, from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

¹³ And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to battle. And the names of his three sons that went to battle were: Eliab the eldest, and the next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

²⁸ And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the man and was angry with David and said, "Why camest thou away, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come to see the battle."

⁷ And Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, slew him.

¹⁸ In Judah, Elihu of the brethren of David. In Issachar, Omri the son of Michael.

¹⁰ Then made Jesse seven of his sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said, "The LORD hath chosen none of these." ¹¹ Then said Samuel to Jesse, "Are here all thy children?" And he said, "The youngest is yet behind. Behold, he keepeth the sheep." Then Samuel said unto Jesse, "Send and fetch him for we will not sit down, till he be come hither."

¹² And this David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, named Jesse; which Jesse had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul among the people. ¹³ And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to battle. And the names of his three sons that went to battle were: Eliab the eldest, and the next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. ¹⁴ And David was the youngest. And when the three eldest were gone after Saul,

⁶ Then answered David, and spake to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah and brother to Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul, to the host?" Abishai said, "I will go down with thee."

¹⁸ And there was three sons of Zeruiah there: Joab, Abishai and Asahel — which Asahel was as swift of foot as a wild roe - ¹⁹ and followed after Abner and turned neither to the righthand nor to the left from Abner. ²⁰ Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Art thou Asahel?" And he said, "Yea." ²¹ Then said Abner, "Turn thee either to the righthand or to the left and catch one of the young men and take thee his spoil." But Asahel would not depart from him. ²² And Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn from me! Why wilt thou that I smite thee to the ground? For then how should I hold up my face before Joab thy brother?" ²³ Howbeit, he would in no wise depart. Then Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the short ribs, that the spear came out behind him: that he fell down in the same place and died there. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

³⁹ And I am this day tender, though I be anointed king. And these men the sons of Zeruiah be too strong for me to rule. But the LORD reward the doer of evil, according to his wickedness."

⁹ Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, "Why doth this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go and take off the head of him." ¹⁰ And the king said, "What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Let him curse: for the LORD hath bid him curse David. And who dare presume to say wherefore doth he so?" ¹¹ And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, "Behold, my son which came out of mine own bowels seeketh my life. How much more may this son of Benjamin do it? Suffer him therefore to curse, for the LORD hath bidden him.

²² And the king said, "What matter is between you and me ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? There shall no man die this day in Israel: for I know that I am this day king over Israel."

²⁵ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host in the stead of Joab, which Amasa was a man's son named Ithra a Jezreelite that went into Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

¹³ And say to Amasa, 'Art thou not my bone and my flesh? And God do so to me and so thereto: except thou be captain of the host to me forever in the room of Joab.'"

⁴ Then said the king to Amasa, "Call me the men of Judah together within three days and present thyself here." ⁵ And Amasa went to gather the men of Judah together: but tarried longer than the time which was appointed him. ⁶ Wherefore the king said to Abishai, "Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri be worse to us than Absalom. Take thou therefore thy lord's servants and follow after him: lest he get him walled cities and escape us." ⁷ And there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and the men of might. And they departed out of Jerusalem to follow after Sheba the son of Bichri. ⁸ And when they were come to the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa met them. And Joab had his garment that he had about him, gird unto him, and had girded thereon a knife joined fast to his loins, in such a sheath that as he went it fell sometimes out. ⁹ And Joab said to Amasa, "Are all things in rest and peace my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the chin with the right hand, as though he would have kissed him. ¹⁰ And Amasa took no heed to the knife that was in Joab's hand, with which Joab smote him in the short ribs, and shed out his bowels to the ground and smote him but one stroke, and he died. And then Joab and Abishai his brother followed after Sheba the son of Bichri. ¹¹ And one of Joab's men that stood by him said, "What is he that he would be as Joab, and what is he that would be unto David instead of Joab?" ¹² And Amasa lay wallowing in blood in the midst of the way. And there was a man that saw all the people stand still. And when he saw that all that came by him stood still, he rolled Amasa out of the way into the field and cast a cloth upon him.

⁵ Moreover thou knowest how Joab the son of Zeruiah hath served me, and what he hath done to the two captains of the hosts of Israel — unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether — how he slew them and shed the blood of war in time of peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins and in his shoes that were on his feet.

³² And the LORD bring his blood upon his own head, for he smote two men righteouser and better than he, and slew them with the sword; my father unwitting: even Abner the son of Ner captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether captain of the host of Judah.

⁵⁰ These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur the eldest son of Ephrata: Shobal the father of Kiriathjearim;

⁴ And Penuel, father of Gedeor; And Ezer, the father of Hushah. These are the sons of Hur, the eldest son of Ephrathah father to Bethlehem.

² And thou Bethlehem Ephrata, art little among the thousands of Judah: Out of thee shall come one, unto me, which shall be the governour in Israel: whose outgoing hath been from the beginning, and from everlasting.

² "Behold, I have called by name, Bezalel the son of Uri son to Hur of the tribe of Judah.

¹ And Bezalel wrought and Oholiab and all wise hearted men to whom the LORD had given wisdom and understanding, to know how to work all manner work for the holy service, in all that the LORD commanded. ² And Moses called for Bezalel, Oholiab and all the wise hearted men in whose hearts the LORD had put wisdom, even as many as their hearts couraged to come unto the work to work it.

¹ And Bezalel made the ark of sethim-wood two cubits and a half long and a cubit and a half broad, and a cubit and a half high:

²² And Bezalel, son of Uri son to Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses,

⁵ Moreover, the brazen altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur had made, was at Gibeon also, before the tabernacle of the LORD. And Solomon and the congregation went to visit it.

²³ And Joseph saw Ephraim's children, even unto the third generation. And unto Machir the son of Manasseh were children born, and sat on Joseph's knees.

²⁹ The children of Manasseh: Machir, of whom cometh the kindred of the Machirites. And Machir begat Gilead, of whom cometh the kindred of the Gileadites.

¹ And the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Heber the son of Gilead, the son of Machir the son of Manasseh, of the kindreds of Manasseh the son of Joseph — whose names were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah -

³⁹ And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and put out the Amorites that were therein. ⁴⁰ And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh and he dwelt therein.

¹⁵ And I gave half Gilead unto Machir.

⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them the towns of Jair.

¹⁴ Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi, and called the towns of Bashan after his own name: the towns of Jair unto this day.

³⁰ And their coasts were from Mahanaim, even all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair which lie in Bashan, even three score cities,

⁴¹ And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them the towns of Jair. ⁴² And Nobah went and took Kenath with the towns longing thereto, and called it Nobah after his own name.

¹³ Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites nor the Maacathites: But the Geshurites and the Maacathites dwelt among the Israelites even unto this day.

³⁸ And so Absalom escaped and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

¹⁴ We came a roving upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon them of Judah and on the south of Caleb. And we burnt Ziklag with fire."

² he sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, "Feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel. And anoint not thyself with oil. But be as a woman that had long time mourned for the death of somebody.

⁹ The sons of Hezron that were born him: Jerahmeel, Ram and Chelubai.

⁵ And Ashur the father of Tekoa had two wives: Helah and Naarah.

¹ These are the sermons that were showed unto Amos, which was one of the shepherds at Tekoa, upon Israel, in the time of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the time of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

³⁴ Sheshan had no sons, but only daughters. ³⁵ And Sheshan had a servant that was an Egyptian named Jarha to whom he gave his daughter to wife, and she bare him Attai.

⁴¹ Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai;

³ "Reuben, thou art mine eldest son, my might and the beginning of my strength, chief in receiving and chief in power.

²² And tell Pharaoh, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: Israel is mine eldest son, ²³ and therefore sayeth unto thee: let my son go, that he may serve me. If thou wilt not let him go: behold, I will slay thine eldest son.'"

²⁴ Ziph, Telem, and Bealoth;

¹⁹ Then came the Ziphites to Saul, to Gibeah, saying, "David hideth himself fast by us in strongholds that are in a thicket in the hill of Hachilah on the rightside of the wilderness.

¹ After that came the Ziphites unto Saul to Gibeah saying, "David hideth himself in the hill of Hachilah even before the wilderness."

²³ And he overcame the Geshurites and the Aramites, and took the towns of Jair from them, and Kenath with the towns that belonged to the same, even three score towns. All these were the sons of Machir the father of Gilead. ²⁴ And after the death of Hezron at Calebephrata, Abia his wife bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa.

⁴⁵ The son of Shammai was Maon. And Maon was the father of Bethzur.

⁴⁹ And she bare also Shaaph, the father of Madmannah, and Sheva the father of Machbenah and the father of Gibea. And Caleb had a daughter called Achsah.

⁵² And Shobal the father of Kiriathjearim had sons, even the half kindred of Menuhoth.

²⁹ And at Gibeon dwelleth the father of Gibeon whose wife was called Maacah.

²¹ The children of Bethlehem, a hundred and three and twenty; ²² The men of Netophah, six and fifty; ²³ The men of Anathoth, a hundred and eight and twenty; ²⁴ The children of Azmaveth, two and forty; ²⁵ The children of Kiriathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and three and forty; ²⁶ The children of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and one and twenty; ²⁷ The men of Michmas, a hundred and two and twenty; ²⁸ The men of Bethel and Ai, two hundred and three and twenty; ²⁹ The children of Nebo, two and fifty; ³⁰ The children of Magbish, a hundred and six and fifty; ³¹ The children of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred four and fifty; ³² The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty; ³³ The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred and five and twenty; ³⁴ The children of Jericho, three hundred and five and forty; ³⁵ The children of Senaah, three thousand and six hundred and thirty.

²⁵ The children of Gibeon, five and ninety. ²⁶ The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, a hundred and eight and fourscore; ²⁷ The men of Anathoth, a hundred and eight and twenty; ²⁸ The men of Bethazmaveth, two and forty; ²⁹ The men of Kiriathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and three and forty; ³⁰ The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and one and twenty; ³¹ The men of Michmash, a hundred and two and twenty; ³² The men of Bethel and Ai, a hundred and three and twenty; ³³ The men of Nebo, a hundred and two and fifty. ³⁴ The children of the other Elam, a thousand, two hundred and four and fifty; ³⁵ The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty; ³⁶ The children of Jericho, three hundred and five and forty; ³⁷ The children of Lod, Hadid and Ono, seven hundred and one and twenty; ³⁸ The children of Senaah, three thousand, nine hundred and thirty.

²⁹ For those which he knew before, he also ordained before, that they should be like fashioned unto the shape of his son, that he might be the first begotten son among many brethren.

²³ and unto the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men:

⁵⁸ Halhul Bethzur, and Gedor;

⁴⁸ And Maacah, another concubine of Caleb's, bare Sheber and Tirhanah.

⁵ But Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. ⁶ And unto the sons of his concubines he gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son — while he yet lived — eastward, unto the east country.

⁴⁶ And Ephah, a concubine of Caleb's, bare Haran, Moza and Gazez: and Haran begat Gazez.

³¹ Ziklag, Madmannah, and Sansannah;

⁵⁷ Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah: ten cities with their villages.

⁶ Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, that we may hang them up unto the LORD, in Gibeah of Saul the LORD's elect." And David said, "I will give them you."

³¹ Madmannah shall tremble for fear, but the citizens of Gebim are manly,

⁹ and then it draweth from the sand hill unto the fountain of water called Nephtoah, and goeth out at the cities of mount Ephron; and draweth to Baalah, otherwise called Kiriathjearim;

⁶⁰ Kiriathbaal, which is Kiriathjearim, and Harabbah: Two cities with their villages.

¹ And the men of Kiriathjearim came and set up the ark of the LORD, and brought it unto the house of Abinadab in Gibeah and sanctified Eleazar his son to wait upon the ark of the LORD.

¹⁹ But Azubah died, and Caleb took Ephrath which bare him Hur. ²⁰ And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezalel.

⁵³ The kindreds of Kiriathjearim were the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishrites. And of them came the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites.

⁵ And David gathered all Israel together from Shihor in Egypt unto Hamath, to bring the Ark of the Lord from Kiriathjearim. ⁶ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, and so to Kiriathjearim that is in Judah, to fetch thence the Ark of the God and LORD that sitteth on the Cherubs, where his name is called on.

¹⁹ And thus died Rachel, and was buried in the way to Ephrata which now is called Bethlehem.

¹⁹ And so they went both together until they came to Bethlehem. And when they were come to Bethlehem, it was noised through all the city, and the women said, "Is not this Naomi?"

⁴ And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said unto the harvest men, "The LORD be with you." And they answered him, "The LORD bless thee."

¹¹ And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said "We are witnesses: the LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and Lea, which twain did build the house of Israel: that she may do virtuously in Ephrata, and be famous in Bethlehem,

¹ When Jesus was born at Bethlehem in Jewry in the time of Herod the king, Behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem,

⁶ 'And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Jewry, art not the least concerning the Princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come the captain, that shall govern my people Israel.'"

⁴² Saith not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David: and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?"

² And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath. And Jahath begat Ahumai and Lahad which are the kindreds of the Zorathites.

³³ And in the low country they had Eshtaol, Zorah, and Ashnah;

⁴¹ And the coasts of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Irshemesh,

² And there was a man in Zorah of the kindred of the Danites, named Manoah, whose wife was barren and bare not.

²⁵ And the spirit of the LORD began first to be with the house of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

³¹ And then his brethren and all the house of his father came down and took him up, and brought him and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying place of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.

³⁸ Ira the Ithrite; Gareb the Ithrite;

⁴⁰ Ira the Ithrite and Gareb an Ithrite;

² and then goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and runneth along unto the borders of Archiataroth;

²⁹ Heleb the son of Baanah an Netophathite; Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, a city of the children of Benjamin;

³⁰ Maharai the Netophathite and Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite;

²² The men of Netophah, six and fifty;

²⁶ The men of Bethlehem and Netophah, a hundred and eight and fourscore;

²⁸ And the children of the singers gathered themselves together from the plain country about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,

¹⁶ And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees, with the children of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah that lieth in the South of Arad, and dwelt among the people.

¹¹ But Heber the Kenite was removed out of the Kenites, which was of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent until he was come unto the oak of Zaananim, by Kadesh.

⁶ But Saul said unto the Kenites, "Go and depart and get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them, for ye showed mercy with Israel when they came out of Egypt." And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

¹⁵ And when he was departed thence he met with Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming against him. And Jehu saluted him and said to him, "Is thine heart right, as mine heart is with thine?" And Jehonadab said, "Yea, that it is." "If it be, then give me thine hand." And he gave his hand, and the other took him up to him into the chariot,

⁹ And Jabez was nobler than his brethren. And his mother called his name Jabez, saying, "Because I bare him with sorrow." ¹⁰ But Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "If thou shalt bless me, and enlarge my coasts, and shalt let thine hand be with me, and wilt keep me from evil that it vex me not." And God sent him his desire.

⁶ This Ezra was a perfect scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel did give. And the king gave him all that he required, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

⁸ "How dare ye say then, 'We are wise, we have the law of the LORD among us'? Behold, the deceitful pen of the scribes, setteth forth lies:

² "Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and call them out, and bring them to the house of the LORD, into some commodious place, and give them wine to drink." ³ Then took I Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren and all his sons, and the whole household of the Rechabites: ⁴ and brought them to the house of the LORD, into the closet of the children of Hanan the son of Igdaliah the man of God: which was by the closet of the princes, that is above the closet of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, which is the chief of the treasury. ⁵ And before the sons of the kindred of the Rechabites, I set pots full of wine, and cups, and said unto them, "Drink wine." ⁶ But they said, "We drink no wine, for Jonadab the ⁷ yea, ye shall have no vineyards: but for all your time ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live long in the land, wherein ye be strangers.' ⁸ Thus have we obeyed the commandment of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged us, and so we drink no wine all our life long: we, nor our wives, our sons, and our daughters.

¹⁹ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not fail, but have one out of his stock, to stand always before me."
