So David sent to comfort him, by the hand of his servants, as to his father,––and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon. ³ Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun their lord––Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, that he hath sent unto thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring the city, and spying it out, and overthrowing it, that David hath sent his servants unto thee? ⁴ Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off half their beards, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their buttocks,––and let them go. ⁵ And, when they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed,––and the king said––Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, then shall ye return.

¹⁵ And, when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they gathered themselves together; ¹⁶ and Hadadezer sent and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River, and they entered Helam,––Shobach the prince of the host of Hadadezer being before them. ¹⁷ And, when it was told David, he gathered together all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and entered Helam,––and the Syrians set themselves in array to meet David, and fought with him. ¹⁸ Then fled the Syrians before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen,––Shobach also, prince of their host, smote he, that he died, there. ¹⁹ And, when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them,––and the Syrians feared to give help any more unto the sons of Ammon.

¹ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead,––in his days, the land rested ten years. ² And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God; ³ and took away the foreign altars, and the high places,––and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems; ⁴ and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers,–and execute the law, and the commandment; ⁵ and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun–images,––and the kingdom became quiet before him. ⁶ And he built cities of defence, in Judah,––for the land had quiet, nor was there near him any war, in these years, because Yahweh had given him rest. ⁷ Therefore said he to Judah, Let us build these cities, and let us surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars, while the land is yet before us, for we have sought Yahweh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered. ⁸ And it came to pass that, Asa, had a force bearing shield and spear, out of Judah, three hundred thousand, and, out of Benjamin, such as bare a buckler and trode a bow, two hundred and eighty thousand,––all these, were heroes of valour.
⁹ Then came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian, with a force of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots,––and he came as far as Mareshah. ¹⁰ And Asa went out to meet him,––and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah. ¹¹ Then Asa cried out unto Yahweh his God, and said, O Yahweh, it is, nothing with thee, to help whether with many or with such as have no strength. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for, on thee, do we lean, and, in thy name, have we come against this multitude,––O Yahweh! our God, thou art, let not, weak man, have power against thee. ¹² So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah,––and the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued as far as to Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell, so that there was no way for them to recover, for they were routed before Yahweh, and before him host,––and they carried away exceeding much spoil. ¹⁴ And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar, for the dread of Yahweh was upon them,––and they plundered all the cities, for, great plunder, was there in them. ¹⁵ Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote,––and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

¹ And it came to pass, after this, that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and, with them, some of the Meunim, came against Jehoshaphat, to battle. ² And there came [some] and told Jehoshaphat, saying, There is coming against thee, a great multitude from beyond the sea, from Syria,––and lo! they are in Hazazon–tamar, the same, is Engedi. ³ And Jehoshaphat was afraid, and set his face to seek unto Yahweh,––and proclaimed a fast for all Judah. ⁴ And Judah gathered themselves together, to enquire of Yahweh,––even, out of all the cities of Judah, came they in, to seek Yahweh. ⁵ And Jehoshaphat stood, in the convocation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh,––before the new court; ⁶ and said, O Yahweh, God of our fathers, art not, thou, God in the heavens? and art, thou, not ruling throughout all the kingdoms of the nations? and, in thy hand, [are there not] strength and might? and is there any who, against thee, can stand? ⁷ Art not, thou, our God, who didst dispossess the inhabitants of this land, from before thy people Israel,––and didst give it unto the seed of Abraham who loved thee, unto times age–abiding? ⁸ and they have dwelt therein,––and have built for thee therein, a sanctuary for thy Name, saying: ⁹ If there come upon us calamity, the sword of judgment or pestilence or famine, we will stand before this house and before thee, for, thy Name, is in this house,––that we may make outcry unto thee out of our distress, that thou mayest hear and save. ¹⁰ Now, therefore, lo! the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom thou didst not suffer Israel to invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt,––but they turned away from them and destroyed them not, ¹¹ yea lo! they, are requiting us,––by coming to drive us out, from thy possession, which thou didst cause us to possess. ¹² O our God, wilt thou not bring judgment upon them, seeing that there is, in us, no strength, before this great multitude, that is coming against us,––we, therefore, know not what we shall do, but, unto thee, are our eyes. ¹³ And, all Judah, were standing before Yahweh,––also their little ones, their wives and their children.
¹⁴ Now, as for Jahaziel son of Zechariah son of Benaiah son of Jeiel son of Mattaniah a Levite, of the sons of Asaph, there came upon him the spirit of Yahweh, in the midst of the convocation: ¹⁵ and he said, Give ye heed, all Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! Thus, saith Yahweh unto you. As for you, do not fear nor be dismayed, by reason of this great multitude, for, not yours, is the battle, but, God’s. ¹⁶ Tomorrow, go ye down against them, for lo! there they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz,––and ye shall find them at the end of the ravine, facing the wilderness of Jeruel. ¹⁷ It is not, for you, to fight in this matter,––take your station, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem, do not fear, nor be dismayed, tomorrow, go ye out to meet them, and, Yahweh, will be with you. ¹⁸ And Jehoshaphat bowed his head, with his face to the ground,––and, all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell down before Yahweh, prostrating themselves unto Yahweh. ¹⁹ And Levites––of the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to offer praise unto Yahweh, God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
²⁰ So they rose early in the morning, and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa,––and, as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Trust ye in Yahweh your God, and ye shall be trusted, Trust ye in his prophets, and ye shall prosper. ²¹ And, when he had given counsel unto the people, he appointed such as should sing unto Yahweh, and offer praise with holy adorning,––as they should be going forth before the armed men, that they should be saying, O give thanks unto Yahweh, For, age–abiding, is his lovingkindness. ²² And, when they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh had set liers–in–wait against the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, who were coming against Judah, and they were smitten. ²³ Then rose up the sons of Ammon and Moab against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, to devote and to destroy,––and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to cut off, every man his neighbour. ²⁴ So when, Judah, came near the watch–tower of the wilderness,––they turned towards the multitude, and lo! there they were, dead bodies fallen to the earth, with none to escape. ²⁵ And, when Jehoshaphat and his people came near to plunder the spoil of them, they found among them, in abundance, both riches and dead bodies and precious jewels, and they stripped off for themselves, beyond what they could carry away,––and they were three days plundering the spoil, for great it was. ²⁶ And, on the fourth day, they assembled themselves in the vale of Beracah, for there they blessed Yahweh,––on this account, was the name of that place called The Vale of Beracah––unto this day. ²⁷ Then turned every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with, Jehoshaphat, at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy,––for Yahweh had caused them to rejoice over their enemies. ²⁸ So they came to Jerusalem, with harps and with lyres, and with trumpets,––unto the house of Yahweh. ²⁹ And it came to pass that, the dread of God, was upon all the kingdoms of the countries,–when they heard, that Yahweh had fought against the enemies of Israel. ³⁰ So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet,––for his God, gave him rest, round about.
³¹ Thus Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah,––thirty–five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty–five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and the, name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi. ³² And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and turned not from it,––doing that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh. ³³ Howbeit, the high places, were not taken away,––for as yet, the people, had not fixed their heart unto the God of their fathers. ³⁴ But, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, first and last, lo! there it is written in the story of Jehu son of Hanani, which hath been added to the book of the Kings of Israel. ³⁵ Yet, after this, did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel,––he, was lawless in his doings; ³⁶ and he joined with him, to make ships to go unto Tarshish,––and they made ships in Ezion–geber, ³⁷ Then prophesied, Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, against Jehoshaphat, saying,––Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Yahweh hath broken in pieces thy works. So the ships were wrecked, and were not able to go unto Tarshish.

²¹ Under the lotus–trees, he lieth down, in a covert of reed and swamp;

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger,––How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

⁴⁴ At the hearing of the ear, they submitted to me, the sons of the foreigner, came cringing unto me:

¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me; ¹³ They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring.

¹⁰ Thou, hast crushed––as one slain––Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.

⁷ I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!

⁷ Then shall buffaloes come down with them, And bullocks with bulls,––So shall their land be soaked with blood, And, their dust, with fat, shall be enriched.

¹ And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes,––and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh; ² and sent Eliakim who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth,––unto Isaiah the prophet, Son of Amoz; ³ and they said unto him, Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of distress and rebuke and reviling, is this day,––For children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none, to bring forth. ⁴ It may be, that Yahweh thy God will hear, the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his lord, hath sent, to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words, which Yahweh thy God hath heard,––Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth. ⁵ So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto Isaiah. ⁶ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus, shall ye, surely say, unto your lord,––Thus, saith Yahweh––Be not thou afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, Me. ⁷ Behold me! about to let go against him, a blast of alarm, and, when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country,––and I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.
⁸ So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria, warring against Libnah,––for he had heard, that he had broken up from Lachish. ⁹ And he heard it reported concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, saying, He hath come forth to fight with thee,––so, when he heard it, he sent messengers unto Hezekiah, saying: ¹⁰ Thus, shall ye surely speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom, thou, art trusting, beguile, thee, saying,––Jerusalem, shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria. ¹¹ Lo! thou thyself, hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done, to all the lands, in devoting them to destruction,––and shalt, thou, be delivered? ¹² Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed,––Gozan, and Haran,––and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar? ¹³ Where, are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim,––of Hena, and Ivvah? ¹⁴ And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah, spread it out, before Yahweh. ¹⁵ And Hezekiah prayed, unto Yahweh, saying: ¹⁶ O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel––inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make, the heavens and the earth. ¹⁷ Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear––and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes––and see,––Yea hear thou all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent––to reproach a Living God. ¹⁸ Of a truth, O Yahweh,––the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction all the countries, and their land; ¹⁹ and have put their gods in the fire,––for, no–gods, were they, but the work of the hands of men–wood, and stone, and so they destroyed them. ²⁰ Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us, out of his hand,––That all the kingdoms of the earth, may know, That, thou, art Yahweh, thou alone.
²¹ Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying,––Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, In that thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, ²² this, is the word which Yahweh hath spoken concerning him,––The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn––mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem, after thee, doth wag her head! ²³ Whom, hast thou reproached, and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy One of Israel. ²⁴ Through thy servants, thou hast reproached My Lord, and hast said,––With my multitude of chariots, have I, ascended, The height of the mountains, The recesses of Lebanon, That I may cut down, Its tallest cedars, Its choicest firs, That I may enter, Its highest summit, Its thick garden forest: ²⁵ I, have digged, and drunk waters,––That I may dry up, with the soles of my feet, all the Nile–streams of Egypt. ²⁶ Hast thou not heard––That, long ago, that, is what I appointed, And, from days of old, devised? Now, have I brought it to pass, That thou mightest serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities; ²⁷ And, their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown, and put to shame––They became––Grass of the field, and, Young herbage, Grass on housetops, and, Seed parched before it came up. ²⁸ Howbeit, thine abode, and thy coming out and thy going in, I know,––and thy raging, against me. ²⁹ Because, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, Therefore will I put, My ring in thy nose, and, My bit in thy lips, And will turn thee back, by the way by which thou camest. ³⁰ And, this, unto thee, is the sign, Eating, this year, the growth of scattered seeds, And, in the second year, that which shooteth up of itself,––Then, in the third year, Sow ye––and reap, and, Plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof. ³¹ Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again, Take root downward,––And bear fruit upward. ³² For, out of Jerusalem, shall come forth a remnant, And that which hath escaped, out of Mount Zion,––The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform, this. ³³ Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, Nor shoot there, an arrow,––Nor attack it with shield, Nor cast up against it a mound: ³⁴ By the way that he came in, By the same, shall he return,––And, into this city, shall he not enter, Declareth Yahweh. ³⁵ Thus will I throw a covering over this city, to save it,––For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant. ³⁶ Then went forth the messenger of Yahweh, and smote––in the camp of the Assyrians––a hundred and eighty–five thousand,––and, when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies! ³⁷ So Sennacherib the king of Assyria, brake up, and went his way, and returned,––and remained in Nineveh. ³⁸ And it came to pass, as he, was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons, smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat,––and, Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.

¹¹ Because they used to be glad, Because they used to be uproarious, When plundering mine inheritance,––Because they used to caper about as a heifer at grass, And bellow like bulls.

³² and, The fords, have been seized, and, The reeds, have they burned with fire; and, The men of war, are dismayed! ³³ For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon, is like a threshing–floor, at the time of treading her: Yet a little, and the time of harvest shall overtake her.

³ Speak, and thou shalt say––Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! against thee, O Pharaoh, king of Egypt, The great Crocodile that lieth along in the midst of his rivers: Who saith––My river is, mine own, Since, I myself, made it me!

²² I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.

¹ Whence wars and whence fightings among you? are they not from hence––due to your pleasures which are taking the field in your members?
