Then came935 all the tribes7626 of 3478 to 1732 unto 2275, and spake559, saying559, Behold, we are thy bone6106 and thy flesh1320. Also in time past865 8032, when 7586 was king4428 over us, thou wast he that leddest out3318 and broughtest in935 3478: and the LORD3068 said559 to thee, Thou shalt feed7462 my people5971 3478, and thou shalt be a captain5057 over 3478. So all the elders2205 of 3478 came935 to the king4428 to 2275; and king4428 1732 made3772 a league1285 with them in 2275 before6440 the LORD3068: and they anointed4886 1732 king4428 over 3478. 1732 was thirty7970 years8141 old1121 when he began to reign4427, and he reigned4427 forty705 years8141. In 2275 he reigned4427 over 3063 seven7651 years8141 and six8337 months2320: and in 3389 he reigned4427 thirty7970 and three7969 years8141 over all 3478 and 3063. And the king4428 and his men582 went3212 to 3389 unto the 2983, the inhabitants3427 of the land776: which spake559 unto 1732, saying559, Except thou take away5493 the blind5787 and the lame6455, thou shalt not come in935 hither: thinking559, 1732 cannot come in935 hither. thinking: or, saying shall not, etc Nevertheless 1732 took3920 the strong hold4686 of 6726: the same is the city5892 of 1732. And 1732 said559 that day3117, Whosoever getteth up5060 to the gutter6794, and smiteth5221 the 2983, and the lame6455 and the blind5787, that are hated8130 of 's1732 soul5315, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said559, The blind5787 and the lame6455 shall not come935 into the house1004. Wherefore: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not come into the house So 1732 dwelt3427 in the fort4686, and called7121 it the city5892 of 1732. And 1732 built1129 round about5439 from Millo4407 and inward1004. And 1732 went3212 1980, and grew great1419, and the LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635 was with him. went: Heb. went, going and growing And 2438 king4428 of 6865 sent7971 messengers4397 to 1732, and cedar730 trees6086, and carpenters2796, and masons7023 68: and they built1129 1732 an house1004. masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall And 1732 perceived3045 that the LORD3068 had established3559 him king4428 over 3478, and that he had exalted5375 his kingdom4467 for his people5971 's3478 sake. And 1732 took3947 him more concubines6370 and wives802 out of 3389, after310 he was come935 from 2275: and there were yet sons1121 and daughters1323 born3205 to 1732. And these be the names8034 of those that were born3209 unto him in 3389; Shammua8051, and Shobab7727, and 5416, and 8010, Ibhar2984 also, and Elishua474, and Nepheg5298, and Japhia3309, And Elishama476, and Eliada450, and Eliphalet467. But when the 6430 heard8085 that they had anointed4886 1732 king4428 over 3478, all the 6430 came up5927 to seek1245 1732; and 1732 heard8085 of it, and went down3381 to the hold4686. The 6430 also came935 and spread5203 themselves in the valley6010 of 7497. And 1732 enquired7592 of the LORD3068, saying559, Shall I go up5927 to the 6430? wilt thou deliver5414 them into mine hand3027? And the LORD3068 said559 unto 1732, Go up5927: for I will doubtless5414 deliver5414 the 6430 into thine hand3027. And 1732 came935 to Baalperazim1188, and 1732 smote5221 them there, and said559, The LORD3068 hath broken forth6555 upon mine enemies341 before6440 me, as the breach6556 of waters4325. Therefore he called7121 the name8034 of that place4725 Baalperazim1188. Baalperazim: that is, the plain of breaches And there they left5800 their images6091, and 1732 and his men582 burned5375 them. burned: or, took them away And the 6430 came up5927 yet again3254, and spread5203 themselves in the valley6010 of 7497. And when 1732 enquired7592 of the LORD3068, he said559, Thou shalt not go up5927; but fetch a compass5437 behind310 them, and come935 upon them over against4136 the mulberry trees1057. And let it be, when thou hearest8085 the sound6963 of a going6807 in the tops7218 of the mulberry trees1057, that then thou shalt bestir2782 thyself: for then shall the LORD3068 go out3318 before6440 thee, to smite5221 the host4264 of the 6430. And 1732 did so6213, as the LORD3068 had commanded6680 him; and smote5221 the 6430 from Geba1387 until thou come935 to Gazer1507.
