Lord, * wilt thou slay also a righteous nation 1 5 Said he not unto me. She is- my sister? and she, even she herself said. He is my brother: '4n tlie "integrity of my heart and inno- ceiicy of my hands have I done this. 6 And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of tliy heart ; for ' I also withheld thee from sin- ning '" against me : therefore suf- fered I thee not to touch her. 7 Now therefore restore the man Ms wife ; " for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, "know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, "and all that are thine. 8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears : and the men were sore afraid. 9 Then Abimelech called Abra- ham, and said unto him. What hast thou done unto lis ? and what have I oftended thee, ^that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me Hhat ought not to be done. 10 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing ? 11 And Abraham said. Because I thought, Sm-ely 'the fear of God is not in this i^lace ; and ^ they will slay me for my wife's sake. 12 And yet indeed "s/ie is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother ; and she became my wife. 13 And it came to pass, when ''God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me ; at every l)lace whither we shall come, ^' say of me.

A XD there was a famine in the jLjL. land, besides ' the first faniiiu^ tliat was in the days of Abraliani. And Isaac went unto ^Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in Hhe land which I shall tell thee of. 3 ''Sojourn in this land, and ""I will be with thee, and ^will bless thee ; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, '^'I will give all these coun- tries, and I will perform '' the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father ; 4 And 'I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; ^'and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed ; 5 ' Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 6 *j[ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar. 7 And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and ''he said. She is my sister : for " he feared to say. She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the i)lace should kill me for Eebekah; because she ''ivas fair to look upon. 8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Eebekah his wife. 9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behok., of a surety she is thy wife : and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him. Because I said, Lest I die for her. 10 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us ? one of the people might lightly have lain with thy wife, and ^thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us. 11 And Abimelech charged all his people, saying. He that ''toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death, 12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and * received in the same year "^a hundredfold: andtheLoED 'blessed him. 13 And the man 'waxed great, and hvent forward, and grew until he became very great : 14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of I' servants : and the I*hilis- tines "envied him. 15 For all the wells '"which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and tilled them with earth. IG And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us ; for '^ thou art much mightier than we. 17 ^ And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father ; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham : ^and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a weU of ^springing water. 20 And the herdmen of Gerar 'did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours : and he called the name of the well " Esek ; because they strove with him. 21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also : and he called the name of it " Sitnah. 22. And he removed from thence, and digged another well ; and for that they strove not : and he call- ed* the name of it "Eehoboth; and he said.

' 19 And Laban went to shear his sheep : and Eachel had stolen the ii4mages that ivere her father's. 20 And Jacob stole away hm- awares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled. 21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and "set his face toward the mount Gilead, 22 And it was told Laban on the third day, that Jacob was fled. 23 And he took "" his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead. 24 And God ^ came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou '■ speak not to Jacob ^ either good or bad. 25 1" Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren jiitched in the mount of Gilead. 26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and ^carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword ? 27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and ^steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp ? 28 And hast not suffered me *'to kiss my sons and my daughters? Hhou hast now done foolishly in so doing. 20 It is in the power of my hand to do you Inirt : but the '' God of your father spake unto me ''yester- night, saying. Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either eood or bad. oO And now, thongli thou wonki- est needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou •■ stolen my gods? 31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid : for I said, Peradventure thou wonkiest take by force thy daugh- ters from me. 32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, f-'let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Eachel had stolen them. 33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Eachel's tent. 34 Now Eachel had taken the im- ages, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban ^searched all the tent, but found tlieni not. 35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I can- not ''rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images. 36 1 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban : and Jacob an- swered and said to Laban, What is my trespass ? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me ? 37 Whereas thou hast + searched all my stuff", what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge be- twixt us both. 38 This twenty years have I heen with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. 41 Before CHRIST 1739.

For he said, I will ^appease him with the present that g me, and afterward I will face ; i)eradventure he will accept ^of me. 21 So went the present over be- fore him ; and himself lodged that night in the company. 22 And he rose up that night, and took, his two Avives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, "and passed over the ford Jabbok. 23 And he took them, and ^sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 24 1 And Jacob was left alone ; and there ^wrestled a man with him until the ^ breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he pre- vailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and ^'the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 2G And ^he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, •' I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him. What is thy name ?

A^N^D it came to pass at that jl\- time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and ■' tui-ned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah. 2 And Judah "^ saw there a daugh- ter of a certain Oanaanite, whose name ivas " Shuah ; and he took her, and went in unto her. 3 And she conceived, and bare a son ; and he called his name ^ Er. 4 And she conceived again, and bare a son ; and she called his name '^ Onan. 5 And she yet again conceived, and bare a .son ; and called his name '^ Slielah : and he was at Ohe- zil), when she bare liim. () And Judah *-' took a wife for Er his ihstborji, whose name tvas Ta- rnar. 50 7 And '' Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord ; ' and the Lord slew hhu. 8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto ^thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be ^ his ; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he sijilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did ^ disi)leased the Lord : wherefore he slew '" him also. 11 Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, " Eemain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown : for he said. Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt " in her father's house. 12 ^ And * in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife (bed ; and Judah ^ was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshear- ers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite. 13 And it was told Tamar, say- ing.

Where is the harlot, that was " openly by the way side ? And they said. There was uo har- lot in this place. 22 And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place. 23 And Judah said. Let her take it to her, lest we ^ be shamed : be- hold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 24 "f And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daugh- ter in law hath Splayed the harlot ; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said. Bring her forth, ^and let her be burnt. 25 When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, say- ing. By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, ^'Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, " the signet, and bracelets, and staff. 26 And Judah "^ acknowledged them, and said, '^She hath been more righteous than I ; because that '^I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again ^no more. 27 1 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins ivere in her womb. 28 And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying. This came out first. 29 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out : and she said, 11 1 low hast thou broken forth f this breach be u[)on thee : therefore his name was called "' Pharez. 30 And afterward came out liis brother, that liad the scarlet thread ui)on his hand : and his name was called Zarah.

A ND Joseph was brought down Xjl to Egyi)t ; and ' Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, ^bought him of the hands of the Ishinaelites, which had brought him down thither. 2 And "the Lord was with Jo- seph, and he was a i^rosperous man ; and he was in the house of his master the Egyx)tian. 3 And his master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord ''made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4 And Jos(?ph ' found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him ^ overseer over hi^s house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him over- seer in his house, and over all that he h^id, that ^'the Lord blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. G And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not aught he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph ''was a goodly person, and well favoiu'ed. 7 1 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, ' Lie with me. ^ 8 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wottetli not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 51 Before CHRIST about 1727.

And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. 4G ^ And Joseph was thirty years old when he ° stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Jo- seph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. 47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. 48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities : the food of the field, which tvas round about every city, laid he up in the same. 49 And Joseph gathered corn p as the sand of the sea, very nuich, until he left numbering; for it was without numb(;r. 50 ''And unto Joseph were born two sons, before the years of famine came: which Asenath the daugliter of Poti-pherah "priest of On bare unto him. 51 And Josei)h called the name of the firstborn "Manasseh: Eor God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. 52 And the name of the second called he " Ephraim : For God hath caused me to be 'fruitful in the land of my affliction. 53 ^ And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. 54 'And the seven years of dearth began to come, ^according as Jo- seph had said : and the dearth was in all lands ; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 And when all the land of Egypt was tarnished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyp- tians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 5G And the famine was over all the face of the earth : and Joseph opened *all the storehouses, and "sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. 57 ^And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn ; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.

CHAPTER I. 1 The children of larael, after Joseph's death, do mid- tiphj, 8 T?ie wore they are oppressed by a new king, the more they multiply. 15 The godVmess of the midwives, in savi7ig the men children alive, 22 Pharaoh commandeth the male children to he cast into the river. NOW ^ these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egyjjt ; every m'an and his household came with Jacob. 2 Eeuben, Simeon, Levi, and Jn- dah, 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benja- min, 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 5 And all the souls that came out of the t loins of Jacob were ^ seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 6 And Mosex)h died, and airiiis brethren, and all that generation. 7 T" '^And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abund- antly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them. 8 IS^ow there "" arose u^) a new king over Egyx)t, which knew not Jo- seph. 9 And he said unto his people. Behold, ^the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we : 10 ^'Oome on, let us ""deal wisely with them ; lest they multi])ly, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, tliey join also unto our enemies, ;md light against us, and no get them uj) out of the land. 11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters 'to afflict them with their ''burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithoiu ' and IJaanises. 12 'J>ut the more they adlicted them, the more they umlliplied G8 and grew. And they were grieved because of the chikh-en of Israel. 13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour 14 And they ""made their lives bitter with hard bondage, "in mor- tar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, ivas with rigour. 15 *1 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one icas Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah ; 16 And he said. When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see tliem upon the stools, if it 6e a son, then ye shall kill liim ; but if it 6e a daughter, then she shall live. 17 But the midwives ''feared God, and did not ''as the king of Egypt commanded them, but sayed the meji children alive. 18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Whj^ have ye done this thing, and have saved the men chikben alive ? 19 And ''the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew wo- men are not as the Egyptian wo- men; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them, 20 -^ Therefore God dealt well with the midwives : and the i^eople mul- tiplied, and waxed very mighty. 21 And it came to j)ass, because the midwives feared God, 'that he made tluiin liouses. 22 And Pharaoh charged all his peoi)le, saying, * Every son that is born ye shall cast iiito the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

CHAPTER II. 1 Moses is born, 3 and in an ark cast into the flags. 5 He ix found, and brought up by Pharaoh's dautjh- ter. 11 He slaycth ati Egyptian. 13 He reproveth a Hebrew. 15 He Jlccih into Jlidian. 21 He mar- rieth Zipporah. 22 Ger.shoni is bor)i. 2o God re- .tpccieth the Israelites' cry. And there went ''a man of the jljL house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived, and hare a son : and ^' when she saw him tliat he was a goodly child, she hid him three montlis. 3 And when she coukl not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, ^iid put the child therein ; and sli||fciid it in the flags by the riverJijpPnk. 4 '^And his sister st6<1Tf afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 5 ^ And the '' daughter of Pha- raoh came down to wash herself at the river ; and her maidens walked along by the river's side : and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. G And when she had opened it, she saw the child : and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compas- sion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 7 Then said his sister to Pha- raoh's daughter. Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee ? 8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9 And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her. Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. 10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daugh- ter, and he became ' her son. And she called his name "Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water. 11 T^ And it came to pass in those days, "^ when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their ^burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting a He- brew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked tliis way and that way, and when he saw that tliere was no man, he "'slew the Egyi)tian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And 'when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hel)i'e\vs strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong. Wherefore smitest thou thy fel- low ? 14 And he said, ""Who made thee ^a prince and a judge over us? in- tendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyi)tian ? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this tiling is known. 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But 'Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by ™a well. 16 "Now the "priest of Midian had seven daughters: ''and they came and drew ivater, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away : but Moses stood up and heli)ed them, and ''watered their flock. 18 And when they came to ''Eeuel their fiither, he said. How is it that ye are come so soon to daj^ ? 19 And they said. An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew ivater enough for us, and watered the flock. 20 And he said unto Ins daugh- ters, And whe^e is he? why is it tliat ye have left the man? call him, that he may "^eat bread. 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man : and he gave Moses ^Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name " ^ Gershom : for he said, I have been ""a stranger in a strange land. 23 1 And it came to pass '^ in pro- cess of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel ^ sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and Hheir cry came up unto God by reason of the bond- Before CHRIST 1531. h Acts 7. 24.

And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent ; and Moses fled ti*om before it. 4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand : 5 That they may "beheve that ''the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath ap- peared unto thee. again 6 ^ And the Lord said further- more unto him.

Wherefore have ye not fulfilled yoiu^ task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as here- tofore ? 15 ^ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying. Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy serv- ants ? 16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us.

Ye shall not minish aught trom your bricks of yoiu? daily task. 20 ^ And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh : 21 ^And they said unto them, The Lord look upon you, and judge ; beciiuse ye have made our savour Ho be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh,, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us. 22 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said.

AXD they ''took then* joiu'ney J\_ from Elim, and all tlie eon- gregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of ^ Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. 2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel 'murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness : 3 And the children of Israel said unto them, <* Would to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, 'when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full ; for ye have brought us forth into this wilder- ness, to kill tliis whole assembly with hunger. 4 ^[ Then said the Loed unto Moses, Behold, I will rain ^ bread from heaven for you ; and the ])eo- ple shall go out and gather ^ a cer- tain rate every day, that I may ^' prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. 5 And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare tliat which they bring in ; and '' it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 6 And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, ' At even, then ye shall know that the Lord hath brought you out from the land of Egypt : 7 And in the morning, then ye shall see ''the glory of the Lord ; for that he heareth yoiu' murmiu'- ings against the Lord: and ' what are we, that ye murmiu' against us ! 8 And Moses said, This shall he, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full ; for that the Lord heareth your mur- inurings which ye murmur against him : and what are we f your mur- murings are not against us, but '"against the Lord. 9 *\\ And Moses spake unto Aa- ron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, "Come near before the Lord : for he hath heard your niurmurings. 10 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congrega- tion of the chikh'en of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord "appeared in the cloud. 11 ^[ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 12 p I have heard the murmurings of the childi-en of Israel: speak unto them, saying, "At even ye shall eat flesh, and 'in the morning ye shall be filled with bread ; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. 13 And it came to pass, that at even 'the quails came up, and covered the camp : and in the morning 'the dew lay round about the host. 14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, ui)on the face of the wilderness tliere lay "a small round thing, as small as the hoar fi'ost on the ground. 15 And when the children of Is- rael saw it, they said one to an- other, I' It is manna : for they Avist not what it tvas. And Moses said unto them, ''This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat. 16 *l This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it every man according- to his eat- ing, 'an omer ^for every man, ac- cording to the number of yoiu* ^per- sons ; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. 17 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some 18 And when they did mete it with an omer, ''he that gathered much had nothing over, and he 87 Before CHRIST 1491. ■"Seel Sam. 8.7.

What is this tiling that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even ? 15 And Moses said unto his father in law. Because ^the i)eople come unto me to inquire of God : 16 When they have ''a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between ^one and another, and I do '^make t\em know the statutes of God, and his laws. 17 And Moses' father in I'aw said unto him. The thing that thou doest is not good. 18 * Thou wilt siu'ely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; 'thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. 19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and * God shall be with thee: Be thou "for the people to God- ward, that thou may est "^ bring the causes unto God : 20 And thou shalt -teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them Hhe way wherein they must walk, and ''the work that they must do. 21 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people ''able men, such as 'fear God, "men of truth, ''hating covetousness ; and place meli over them, to he rulers of thousands, and rulers of hmidreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens : 22 And let them judge the people ^1t all seasons: ^and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, liut every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and ''they shall bear the harden with thee. 23 K thou shalt do this thing, and 90 God command thee so, then thou shalt be 'able to endure, and all this peoi)le shall also go to "" their place in peace. 24 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 25 And 'Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hmidreds, rul- ers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 26 And they ""judged the people at all seasons: the "hard causes they brought unto Moses, but ev- ery small matter they judged them- selves. 27 1 And Moses let his father in law depart; and ''he went his way into his own land.

IN the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day "" came they into the wil- derness of Sinai. 2 For they were departed from '' E-epliidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had i^itched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before Hhe mount. 3 And ''Moses went up unto God, and the Lord " called unto him out of the mountain, saying. Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel ; 4 'Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and Iww «I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now '' therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my cov- enant, then ' ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people : for ''all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a 'kingdom of jiriests, and a "'lioly nation.

CHAPTER XXXT. 1 Bezalcel and Aholiab are called and made meet for the work of the tabernacle. 13 The observation of the sabbath is again commanded. 18 Jloses re- ceiveth the two tables. A XD the Lord spake unto Mo- JLJl ses, saying-, 2 ''See, I have called by name Bezaleel the ^sou of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judali : 3 And I have '^tilled him with the sjiirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowl- edge, and in all manner of work- manship, 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And in cutting of stones, to set tlieiii^ and in tarving of timber, to work in all manner of work- manship. C And I, behold, I have given with him ''Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are ''wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee ; 7 ^The tabernacle of the con- gregation, and ^the ark of the testimony, and ^the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the ^ furniture of the tabernacle, 8 And 'the table and his furni- ture, and ''the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the al- tar of incense, 9 And 'the altar of burnt offer- ing with all his furniture, and ""the laver and his foot, 10 And "the clothes of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the i>riest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the jMest's oflice, 11 ''And the anointing oil, and '' sweet incense for the holy lylace : according to all that I have com- manded thee shall they do. 12. ^ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, "Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations ; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14 'Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore ; for it is holy unto you. Every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for 'who- soever doeth any work therein, that soul shall bo cut off from among his people. 15 ' Six days may work be done ; but in the "seventh is the sabbath of rest, ^ holy to the Lord : whoso- ever doeth any work in the sab- bath day, he shall surely be i)ut to death. 16 AVherefore the children of Israel shall keex) the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a i)erj)etual covenant. 17 It is ^Si sign between me and the cliildren of Israel for ever : for ^in six days the Lord made heav- en and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18 ^ And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of com- muning with him upon mount Sinai, Hwo tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

To morrow is a feast to the Lord. 6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offer- ings, and brought peace offerings ; and the ^people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 ^ And the Lord said unto Moses, ^ Go, get thee down ; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, ' have corrupted themselves : 8 They have turned aside quick- ly out of the way which '^ I com- manded them : they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacri- ficed thereunto, and said, ' These he thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the Lord said unto Mo- ses, "' I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people : 10 Now therefore "let me alone, that °my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may con- sume them: and "I will make of thee a great nation. 11 "And Moses besought ^ the Lord his (iod, and saicl. Lord, why doth tliy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brouglit forth out of the land of Egypt witli great power, and with a mighty hand ? 108 12 ''Wherefore should the Egyp- tians speak, and say. For mis- chief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and 'repent of this evil against thy people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou 'swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, "I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shaU inherit it for ever. 14 And the Lord "^repented of the e^dl which he thought to do unto his people. 15 1" And ''Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand : the tables icere written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other ivere they written. 16 And the -tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven ui)on the tablas. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 And he said. It is not the voice of them that shout for mas- tery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for ♦being overcome; hut the noise of them that sing do I hear. 19 'Tf And it came to j)ass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that 'he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 20 "And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to ])owder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it. 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, MVhat did this i)eople unto thee, that thou hast brouglit so great a sin upon them ?

Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and £-0 in and out from fi-ate to gate throughout the camp, and '' slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. 28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses : and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 29 ' I' For Moses had said, ^ Conse- crate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and ux)on his brother ; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 30 ^\ And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the I)eople, ''Ye have sinned a great sin : and now I will go up unto the Lord ; ' peradventurel shall "'make an atonement for your sin. 31 And Moses "returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have "made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin — ; and if not, ^blot me, I pray thee, '^ out of thy book which thou hast written. 33 And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34 Therefore now go, lead the l)eople unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: 'behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless, 4n the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. 35 And the Lord plagued the people, because "they made the calf, which Aaron made.

Have ye saved 'all the women alive ?

G This is tht' thing Avhich the Lord doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, say- ing. Let them hnarry to Avhom they think best; '^only to the fam- ily of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 7 So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe : for every one of the children of Israel shall ^f-keep him- self to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8 And '' every daughter, that pos- sesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the familj^ of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. 9 Neither shall the inheritance re- move from one tribe to another tribe ; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance. 10 Even as the Lord commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Ze- lophehad : 11 'For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, tlie daughters of Zeloi)hehad, were married unto their father's broth- ers' sons : 12 And they were married 4nto the families of the sons of Manas- seh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father. 13 These are the commandments and the judgments, which the Lord commanded, by the hand of Moses, unto the children of Israel ''in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho. 213 Before CHRIST 1451.

G Keep therefore and do them; for this is ''your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. 7 For ^wliat nation is there so great, who hath ^ God .so nigh unto them, as the Loed our God is in all things that we call ui^on him forF 8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judg- ments .so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day ? 9 Only take heed to thyself, and « keep thy soul diligently, '' lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they de- ])art from thy heart all the days of thy life : but ' teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons ; 10 SpeciaUy ""the day that thou stoodest before the Loed thy God in Horeb, when the Loed said un- to me. Gather me tlie i)eople to- gether, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their chikU-eu. 11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain ; and the ' mountain burned with lire unto the t midst of heaven, with dark- ness, clouds, and thick darkness. 12 '"And the Loed spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: "ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; "^tQ^iy ^/e heard a voice. 13 ^And he declared unto you his covenant, which he command- ed you to x^erform, even "^ ten com- mandments; and 'he wrote them upon two tables of stone. 14 1^ And 'the Loed command- ed me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. 15 ' Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves ; for ye saw no manner of "similitude on the day that the Loed spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire ; 16 Lest ye "" corrupt yourseh-es, and ^make you a graven image, the similitude of any figm^e, ^the likeness of male or female, 17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 18 The likeness of any thing that creei)eth on the ground, the like- ness of any fish that is in the wa- ters beneath the earth : 19 And lest thou ^lift up thine 219 Before CHRIST 1451.

At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the '^year of release, * in the feast of taberna- cles, 11 When all Israel is come to "appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, "^ thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their liearing. 12 ^Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law ; 13 And that their children, 'which have not known any thing, ""may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 14 1 And the Lord said unto Moses, ^Behold, thy days approach that thou must die : call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tab- ernacle of the congregation, that •=1 may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and pre- sented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. 15 And "the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud : and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tab- ernacle. IG ^ And the Lord said unto Moses, liehold, thou shalt 'sleep with thyfalhcrs; and this peo])le will ''rise up, and ^go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to he them, and will *-' forsake 254 me, and ''break my covenant among which I have made with them. 17 Then my anger shall be kin- dled against them in that day, and 'I will forsake them, and I will ''hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall * befall them ; so that they will say in that day, 'Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is "not among us ? 18 And ''I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. 19 Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel : put it in their mouths, that this song may be "a witness for me against the chil- dren of Israel. 20 For when I shall have brought them into the laud which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey ; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, Pand waxen fat; '^then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and jDrovoke me^ and break my covenant. 21 And it shall come to pass, "^when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song- shall testify ^against them as a witness; for it shall not be for- gotten out of the mouths of their seed: for 'I know their imagina- tion 'which they *go about, even now, before I have brought them into the laud which I sware. 22 If Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 23 'And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, ''Be strong and of a good courage : for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them : and I will be with thee. 24 ^ And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of ^writ- ing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished.

Pre- pare you victuals ; for " within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it. 12 "If And to the Eeubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Josliua, saying, 13 Remember '^the word which Moses the servant of the Lord 259 Before CHRIST 1451.

G And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, ^Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over be- fore tlie i^eople.

Take up the ark of the cov- enant, and let seven priests bear seven trumx)ets of rams' horns be- fore the ark of the Lord. 7 And he said unto the peojile, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on be- fore the ark of the Lord. 8 1" And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the peo- ple, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' hornr, passed on before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 ■[ And the armed men went before 'the priests that blew with the trumpets, '^and the h-earward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing witli the trumpets. 10 And Joshua had commanded the x'Gopie, saying.

So they did six days. 15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning- of the day, and conqjassed the city after the same manner seven times : only on that day they compassed the city seven times. 16 And it came to pass at the sev- enth time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said un- to the people, Shout ; for the Lord hath given jon the city. 17 lAnd the city shall be "ac- cursed, even it, and all that arc therein, to the Lord : only Eahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, be- cause ^'she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And ye, ''in any wise keep yourselves from the acciu'sed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing-, and make the camp of Israel a curse, ' and trouble it. 19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are ^ consecrated unto the Lord : they shall come into the treasury of the Lord. 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the peo- l)le heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted wjth a great shout, that ''the wall fell down * flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they 'utterly destroyed all that ivas in the city, both man and woman, young- and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword. 22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had sjjied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, smite Ai and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, "'as ye sware unto her. 23 And the young- men that were spies went in, and brought out Bahab, "and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her ^kindred, and left them without the <*amp of Israel. 24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that teas therein : "only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they l)ut into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua saved Eahab the harlot alive, and her father's house- hold, and all that she had; and 'she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day ; because she hid the mes- sengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 26 *[ And Joshua adjured tliem at that time, saying, ''Cursed le the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho : he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set uj^ the gates of it. 27 ' So the Lord was with Joshua; and ^his fame was noised through- out all the country.

C ^ And Joshua ''rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and 'put dust ux)on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, ''wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us 1 would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan !- 8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth thek ^ backs before their enemies ! 9 For the Oanaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and ^cut off our name from the earth : and '' what wilt thou do un- to thy great name ? 10 1 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore niest thou thus upon thy face I 11 'Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my cove- nant which I commanded them : ■"for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and ' dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff". 12 "" Therefore the children of Is- rael could not stand before their enemies, hut turned their backs before their enemies, because "they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, excei)t ye de- stroy the accursed from among you. 13 Up, "sanctify the x)eoplc, and say, p Sanctify yourselves against to morrow : for thus saith the 2GG Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which '^ the Lord taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households ; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man. 15 'And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with Are, he and all that he hath : because he hath 'transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he ' hath wrought "follj^ in Israel. 16 ^ So Joshua rose ui^ early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken : 17 And he brought the family of Judah ; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man ; and Zabdi was taken : 18 And he brought his household man by man ; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, "was taken. 19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, ""give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, ^and make confession unto him ; and ' tell me now what thou hast done ; hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and saidj Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done : 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, jmd a hvedge of gold of fifty shekels, weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 22 1 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, Before CHRIST 1451. 1 Prov. 1C.33. .1 ■■ See 1 Sam. 14. 38, 39. » ver. 11. •Gen. 34.7.

A KD the Lord said unto Joshua, XJL ""Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the j)eople of war with thee, and arise, go wp to Ai : see, ^' I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his i^eo- ple, and his city, and his land : 2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto ''Jeri- cho and her king : only '^ the ^i)oil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves : lay thee an ambush for the city behind it. 3 1^ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go uj) against Ai : and Joshua chose out thirty thou- sand mighty men of valom-, and sent them away by night. 4 And he commanded them, say- ing, Behold, "^ye shall he in wait against the city, even behind the city : go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready : 5 And I, and all the x>eople that are with me, will approach unto the city : and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that '^we will flee before them, (For they will come out after us,) till we have * drawn them from the city; for they will say. They flee before us, as at the first: there- fore we will flee before them. 7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city : for the Lord your God will deliver it into your hand. 8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the citj^, that ye shall set the city on fire : according to the coin- mancbuent of the Lord shall ye do. ^ See, I have commanded you. 9 1^ Joshua therefore sent them forth ; and they went to lie in am- bush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai : but Joshua lodged that night among the i)eople. 10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 11 ''And all the people, even the l)eople of war that ivere with him, went up, and di-ew nigh, and came before the city, and jjitched on the north side of Ai : now there ivas a valley between them and Ai. 12 And he took about five thou- sand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side " of the city. 13 And when they had set the I)eople, even all the host that %vas on the north of the city, and * their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley. 14 "^ x\nd it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw if, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his peo- ple, at a time appointed, before the plain ; but he ' wist not that there ivere liers in ambush against him behind the city. 15 And Joshua and all Israel ''made as if they were beaten be- 207 Before CHRIST 1451. fjudg.20.3 tneb. pulled. « 2 Sam. 13. 28. |Or,o/.4(. t Heb. their lying in ver. 4. iJudg.20..-!4. £cc. 9. i2. 1 Jnd(;.20.3a &c.

And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city. 19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire. 20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no ^ power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back u^)- on the pursuers. 21 And when Joshua and all Is- rael saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai. 22 And the other issued out of the city against them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side : and they smote them, so that they ' let none of them remain or es- cape. 23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. 24 And it came to i)ass, when Is- rael had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fall7. 40. &1H>. 5. •lDeut.21.23. ch. 10. 2r. ■■ch. r.20. & lU. 27.

A jS'D it came to i)ass, when all i\ the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of ''the great sea over against Lebanon, ''the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Oanaanite, the Periz- zite, the Plivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof ; 2 That they ''gathered themselves together, to fight Avith Joshua and with Israel, with one ^accord. 3 ^ And when the inhabitants of ''Gibeon ''heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, 4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if thej^ had been am- bassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up ; 5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments ui^oii them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy. G And they went to Joslnia 'unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country : now therefore make ye a league with us. 7 And the men of Israel said unto the ^ Hi\ites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and ''how shall we make a league with you ? 8 And they said unto Joshua, ' We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them. Who are ye ? and from whence come ye ? 9 And they said uiito him, Trom a very far country thy servants are come, because of the name of the Lord thy God : for we have ' heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egyx^t, 10 And °^all that he did to i\\ii two kings of the Amorites, that ivere beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth. 11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals Uvith you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto th(^m, AVe are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us. 12 This our bread we took hot /or our i)rovision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you ; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy : 13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, ivere new ; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey. 14 And "the men took of their victuals, "and asked i\ot counsel at the mouth of the Lord. 15 And Joshua "made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live : and the princes of the congregation sware unto them. 16 ^ And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. 17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third dav. IS^ow their cities were ''Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim. 18 And the children of Israel smote them not, '^ because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the con- gregation murmured against the princes. 19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation. We have sworn unto them by the Lord God of Israel : now therefore we may not touch them. 20 This we will do to them ; we will even let them live, lest "^ wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them. 21 And the princes said unto but let them 269 them, Let them live , Before CHRIST 1451. t Ileh. in l/our hvmd.

"jVTOW it came to pass, when came to pass, Adoiji-zedek king of Jeru- salem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroy- ed it ; "^ as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to ''Ai and her king; and '^how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them ; 2 That they ''feared greatly, be- cause (jlibeon iras a great city, as one of the * royal cities, and be- cause it was greater tlian Ai, and all the men thereof iccre mighty. 270 3 AAHierefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, 4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon : ''for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. 5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, ^gathered them- selves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it. G 1 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua ^'to the camp to Gil- gal, saying. Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us : for all the kings of the Amo- rites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us. 7 So Joshua ascended trom Gil- gal, he, and '' all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 8^ ^ And the Lord said unto Joshua, ' Fear them not : for I have delivered them into thine hand; ''there shall not a man of them stand before thee. 9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up li'om Gilgal all night. 10 And the Lord ' discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up '"to Beth-horon, and smote them to "Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, 'that the Lokd cast down gTcat stones from heaven upon them un- to Azekah, and they died : tliey were more which died with hail- stones than tluy whom the chil- dren of Israel slew with the sword. 12 "f Then spjdvc Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord Before CHKIST 1451. aK 1.^ 'ver. 1. ch. 9. 15. fch. 9.2.

"^J.s not this Avritten in the book of " Jasher ? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was 'no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man : for ^ the Loud fought for Israel. 15 *f "And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal. 10 But these five kings fled," and hid themselves in a cave at Mak- kedah. 17 And it was told Joshua, say- mg. The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said. Boll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them : 19 And stay ye not, hut purswe after your enemies, and ^ smite the hindmost of them ; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord yoiu' God hath delivered them into your hand. 20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities. 21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Mak- kedah in peace : '^ none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. 22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon. 24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, •put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25 And Joshua said unto them, 'Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for •^ thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on live trees : and they ^ were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they '^took them down off' the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day. 28 1 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king- thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein ; he let none remain : and he did to the king of Makkedah '"as he* did unto the king of Jericho. 29 Then Joshua passed from Mak- kedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah : 30 And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein ; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of. Jericho. 31 ^ And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, un- to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it : 32 And the Lord delivered La- chish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and 271 Before CHRIST 1451. 5- P.I. 107. 40. & 1 10. 5. & 14;). 8, «.

We are witnesses. 23 Now therefore ''i)ut away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel. 24 And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 25 So Joshua ''made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance ''in Shechem. 20 •[ And Joshua '^ wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took ''a great stone, and ''set it up there *^ under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. 27 And Joshua said unto all the people.

'Then Manoah knew that he teas an angel of the Lord. 22 And Manoah said unto his wife, ^We shall surely die, because we have seen God. 23 But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were i^leased to kill us, he would not have received a bm^nt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these thiugs, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these. 24 1^ And the woman bare a son, and called his name * Samson : and "the child grew, and the Lord ble.ssed him. 25 ''And the Spirit of the Lord began to move him at times in Hhe camp of Dan ^between Zorah and Eshtaol.

And Samson said unto his father. Get her for me; for ^she i)leasetli me well. 4 But his father and his mother knew not that it ivas *^ of the Lord, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time ^the Philistines had dominion over Israel. 5 *f Then went Samson down, and his fiither and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vine- yards of Timnath : and, behold, a- young lion roared + against him. G And ''the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and lie liad nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done. 7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she X)leased Samson well. 8 ^ And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcass of the lion. 9 xind he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and j he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken flie honey out of the carcass of the lion. 10 ^ So his father went down un- to the woman : and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. 11 And it came to pass, when 309 Before CHKIST about 1111.

BUT it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid ; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the cham- ber. But her father would not sufter him to go in. 2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly ^ hated her ; therefore I gave her to thy companion : is not her younger sister fairer than she f ^ take her, I pray thee, instead of her. 3 ^ And Samson said concerning them, II Xow shall I be more blame- less than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. 4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took " tire- brands, and tm-ned tail to tail, and put a ikebrand in the midst be- tween two tails. 5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives. 6 1 Then the Philistines said, AYho hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. ^And the Philis-^ch. 14.15. tines came up, and bm-nt her and her father with fire. 7 ^ And Samson said unto them.

Let ^me die with the Philistines. And he bow- ed himself with all Ms might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the i)eople that were there- in. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life. 31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought Mm up, and ™ buried him between Zorah and Eslitaol in the buryingplace of Mauoali his father.

A ND there was a man of mount J\. Ephraim, whose name teas Micah. 2 And he said unto his mother. The eleven huncbed shelrls of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me ; I took it. And his mother said, ^Blessed he thou of the Lord, my son. 3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the Lord from my hand for my son, to ^make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. 4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother Hook two hundred sheliels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven imjige and a molten image : and they were in the h6use of Micah. 5 And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ''ephod, and ''teraphim, and ^con- secrated one of his sons, who be- came his priest. ^In those days there was no king in Israel, ^hut every man did that u'hich tvas right in Ids own eyes. 7 If And there was a young man out of '' Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judali, who was a Le- vite, and he sojourned there. 8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could lind a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, ^as he jour- neyed. 9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou f And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to so- journ where I may And a place. 10 And Micah said unto him. Dwell with me, 'and be unto me a "" father and a x>i'iesf, awd I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and "^a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man ; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. 12 And Micah ' consecrated the Levite; and the young man ™ be- came his i)riest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then said Micah, ISTow know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

AXD nhe child Samuel minis- jLjL tered unto the Lord before Eli. And ''the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 2 And it came to pass at that time, Avhen Eli n-as laid down in his place, ''and his eyes began to i wax dim, that he could not see ; j 3 And ere '' the lamp of God went ; out 'in the temple of the Lord, I where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep ; 4 That the Lord called Samuel : and he answered, Here am L 5 And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not ; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said. Here am I ; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 7 'I Now Samuel *■ did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said. Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli percei ved that the Lord had called the cliild. 9 Tliei'cfore Eli said luito Samuel, Go, lie down : and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou slialt say. Speak, Lord; for thy servant hear- eth. So Samuel went and lay down in his i)lace. 10 And the Lord came, and stood, 32d and called as at other times, Sam- uel, Samuel. Then Samuel an- swered. Speak; for thy servant heareth. 11 ^ And the Lord said to Sam- uel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, *^'at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. 12 In that day I will perform against Eli ^ all things which I have spoken concerning his house: * when I begin, I will also make an end. 13 "'For I have told him that I will "^ judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he kuoweth ; because ' his sous made themselves II vile, and he ^ "" restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the in- icpiity of Eli's house "shall not be purged with sacrifice nor oft'ering for ever. 15 ^ And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the Lord. And Sam- uel feared to shew Eli the vision. IG Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he an- swered. Here am I. yil And he said, AVhat is the thing that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me : " God do so to thee, and * more also, if thou hide any "thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee. 18 And Samuel told him ^ every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, 'It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. 19 •[ And Samuel "igrew, and 'the Lord was with him, 'and did let none of his words fall to th(» ground. 20 And all Israel 'from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel ivas II established to he a prophet of the Lord. 21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh: for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by " the word of the Lord.

And Samuel prayed unto the Loed. 7 And the Lord said unto Sam- uel, Hearken unto the voice of the peoi)le in all that they say unto thee: for '^they have not rejected thee, but ''they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8 According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, where- witli they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. 9 N^ow therefore "hearken unto their voice: "howbeit yet ju-otest solemnly unto them, and ' shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. 10 1 And Samuel told all the words of the Lord unto the i)eople that asked of him a king. 11 And he said, "This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you : ' He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to he his horse- men ; and some shall run before his chariots. J/^12 And he will appoint him cap- tains over thousands, and captains over fifties ; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his liarvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chari- ots. 13 And he will take your daugh- ters to he confectionaries, and to he cooks, and to he bakers. 14 And "4ie will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive- yards, even the best of them, and give tJiem to his servants. 15 And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his ^ofiicers, and to his servants.

Come, and let us go to the seer : for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called ''a Seer.) 10 Then said Saul to his servant, ^Well said ; come, let us go.

And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 5 1^ And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and i)it('lied in ]Michmash, eastward from Bcth-aven. When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people "^did hide themselves in -ch. 10. 26. I'ch. 10.5.

Bring hither a burnt oflt'ering to me, and peace oiferings. And he ottered the burnt offering. 10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, kSamuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might * salute him, 11 li^ And Samuel said, Wh;it hast thou done! And Saul said, Be- cause I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou earnest not within the days ap- l)ointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash ; 12 Therefore said I, The Philis- tines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not ^ made supplication unto the Lord : I forced mvself therefore, and of- fered a burnt offering. 13 And Samuel said to Saul, ''Thou hast done foolishly: ^thou hast not kept the commandment of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14 *''Biit now thy kingdom shall not continue : ^ the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath com- manded him to he cai)tain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee. 15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that ivere ♦present with him, ' about six hundred men. 16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were pres- ent with them, abode in UJibeah of Benjamin : but the Philistines encamped in INIiclnnash. 17 *i And the si)oilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three comi)anies : one company turned unto the way that leadeth to ^Ophrah, mito the land of Shnal : 18 And another company turned the way to ' l^eth-horon : and an- other company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of "Zeboim toward the wil- derness. 19 '^ Now "there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel : for the Philistines said. Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears : 20 But all the Israelites went dow^n to the Philistines, to sharp- en every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mat- tock. 21 Yet they had *a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and *to sharpen the goads. 22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that "there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that ivere with Saul and Jonathan : but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found. 23 ''And the "garrison of the Phi- listines went out to the passage of Michmash.

So none of the people tasted au)/ food, 25 ''And all thej/ of the land eame to a wood ; and there was ' honey upon the ground. 26 And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth : for the peo- l)le feared the oath. 27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath : wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that n-as in his hand, and dipped it in a honey- comb, and put his hand to his mouth ; and his eyes were enlight- ened. 28 Then answered one of the peo- ple, and said. Thy father straitly charged the i^eople with an oath, saying, Cursed l)c the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were "faint. 29 Then said Jonathan, My fother hath troubled the land : see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been en- lightened, because I tasted a little of this honey. 30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found 1 for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines ? 31 And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aija- lon: and the people were very faint. 32 And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people thd eat them "with the blood. 33 1 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the peoi)le sin against the Loiii), in that they eat with the blood. And he said. Ye have II transgressed : roll a great stone unto me this day. 34 And Said said, Disperse your- selves among the i)eople, and say unto them. Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his shec]), and slay them, here, and eat; and sin not against the Lokd in eating w^ith the blood. And all the x)eople brought every man his ox hvith him that night, and slew them there. 35 And Saul "" built an altar unto the Lord : * the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord. 30 ^[ And Saul said. Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And thej' said. Do what- soever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the j)riest, Let us draw near hither unto God. 37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the. Philistines ? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But -he answered him not that day. 38 And Saul said, 'Draw ye near hither, all the ^ chief of the x)eople : and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day. 39 For, "" as the Lord liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jon- athan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among aU the people that answered him. 40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jon- athan, my son will be on the other side. ■ And the i^eople said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee. 41 Therefore Saul said unto the Lord God of Israel, " '' Give a per- fect lot.

So the people rescued Jonathan, that he (Ued not. 4G Then Saul went up from fol- lowing the Philistines: ami the Philistines went to their own i)lace. 47 ^\ So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the childi'en of 'Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of ""Zobah, and against the Philistines : and whith- ersoever he turned himself, he vex- ed tlicm. 48 And he " gathered a host, and ' smote the Amalekites, and deliv- ered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them. 49 Now "'the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi- shua: and the names of his two daughters ivere these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal : 50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Aliimaaz: and the name of the captain -of his host was ♦Abner, the son of J«[er, Saul's uncle. 51 "And Kish ivas the father of Saul ; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel. 52 iVnd tliere was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul : and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, "he took him unto him.

So the Kenites de- parted from among the Amalekites. 7 ^'And Saul smote the Amalek- ites from ''Havilah until thou com- est to ' Shur, that is over against Egypt. 8 And ''he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and ' utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people "' spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and "of the fat- lings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them : but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they de- stroyed utterly. 10 ^[ Then came the word of the Lord unto Sanniel, saying, 11 " It repeuteth me that 1 have set up Saul to he king: for he is "turn- ed back from following me, "and hath not performed my command- ments.

They have brought them from the Amalek- ites: ^for the i)eoi)le spared the best of the sheei^ and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the Lord thv God ; and the rest we have utterly destroyed. 10 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to* me this night. And he said unto him, Say on. 17 And Samuel said, "When thou ivast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king over Israel ? 18 And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said. Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalek- ites, and fight against them until Hhey be consumed. 19 AVlierefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the Lord 1 20 And Saul said unto Samut;l, Yea, ^ I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 >But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gilgal. 22 And Samuel said, ^Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obey- ing the voice of the Lord ! Be- hold, ^ to obey is better than sacri- fice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of t witchcraft, and stubbornness is as inicpiity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the Avord of the Loud, 'he hath also rejected thee from hc'ing king. 24 1 'And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have trans- gressed the commandment of the Loud, and tliyMords: because I ''feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord. 20 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return w ith thee : ^for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, '^lie laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent. 28 And Samuel said unto him, - The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. 29 And also the " Strength of Is- rael ^ will not lie nor repent : for he is not a man, that he should re- pent. 30 Then he said, I have sinned : yet ' honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of myjjeople, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord thy God. 31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshii)ped the Lord. 32 1 Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came un- to him delicately. And Agag said. Surely the bitterness of death is past. 33 And Samuel said, ^As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women.

And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44 And the Philistine ''said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 45 Then said David to the Philis- tine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a sijear, and with a shield: 'but I come to thee in the name of the Lokd of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast '" defied. 4G This day will the Lord t deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee ; and I will give " the carcasses of the host of the Philis- tines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth ; ° that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lokd ^saveth not with sword and spear : for 'i the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead ; and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So 'David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, Hhey fled. 52 And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pur- sued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to ' Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 53 And the children of Israel re- turned from chasing after the Phi- listines, and they spoiled their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem ; but he i)ut his armour in his tent. 55 ^[ And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, "whose son is this youth? And Abner said. As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 50 And the king said. Inquire thou whose son the stripling is. 57 And as David returned fr'om the slaughtei' of the Philistine, Ab- ner took him, and brought him before Saul ''with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58 And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man ?

THEN they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines tight against ''Keilah, and thej^ rob the threshingfloors. 2 Therefore David 'inquired of the Lord, saying, Shidl I go and smite these Philistines! And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. 3 And David's men said unto him. Behold, we bc! atVaid here in Judah: how nmcli more tlien if we come to Kcilali against the armies of the Philistines! 354 4 Then David inquired of the Lord yet again. And the Lord answered him and said. Arise, go down to Keilah ; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand. 5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Phi- listines, and brought away their cattle, aud smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the in- habitants of Keilah. 6 And it came to pass, when Abi- athar the son of Ahimelech ' fled to David to Keilah, tliat he came down with an ephod in his hand. 7 1 And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand ; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. 8 And Saul called all the people together to War, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 9 ^l And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him ; and '' he said to Abiathar the l^riest. Bring hither the ephod. 10 Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thv servant hath certain- ly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, Ho destroy the city for my sake. 11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand ? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard ? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the Lord said. He will come down. 12 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah ^ deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul ! And the Lord said. They will deliver thee up. 13 1^ Then David and his men, ^ which tvere about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that Da- vid was escaped from Keilah ; and he forl)are to go forth. 14 And David abode in the wil- derness in strong iiolds, and re- mained in "a mountain in the wil- derness of ''Ziph.

And they told David: wherefore he came down "into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of jNLion. 7Vnd when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wihlerness of Maon. 2() And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain : Pand David made haste to get away f(n' l(;ar of Saul ; for Saul and his men '' compassed David and his men round about to take them. 27 ^ 'But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the rhilistines have in- vaded the land. 28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines : therefore tliey called that place "Sela-ham- mahlekoth. 29 1 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at 'En-gedi.

And Abishai said, I will go down with thee. 7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night : and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster : but Abuer and the peoi)le lay round about him. 8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath t delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day : now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. 9 And David said to Abishai, De- stroy him not : ''for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, aud be guiltless I 10 David said furthermore, As the Lord liveth, 'the Lord shall smite him ; or ^ his day shall come to die; or he shall ''descend into battle, and ])erish. 11 ' The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed: but, J pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, aud let us go. 12 So David took the sxjear and the cruse of water from Saufs bol- ster ; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because ''a deep skn^p from the .Lord was fallen u])ou them. lo *ji I'hen David Avent over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off; a great space hciuf/ between them : 14 And David cried to the peo- ple, and to Abner the son of Xer, saying, Answerest thou not, Ab- ner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king ? 15 And David said to Abuer, Art not thou a valiant man ? and who is like to thee in Israel ? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king! for there came one of the people in to destroy •the king thy lord. 10 This thing is not good that thou hast done.

But Asahel w^ould not turn aside from following of him. 22 And Abner said again to Asa- hel, Turn thee aside from following ' me : wherefore should I smite tl\ee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother ? 23 Howbeit lie refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him Hmder the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him ; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where ^Vsahel fell down and died stood still. 24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun w^ent down when they wer(i come to tlie hill of Annnah, that Ikth before Giah by the w^ay of the wilderness of (libeon. 25 ^\ And the children of Benja- min gathered themselves together after Al)ner, and became one trooi>, and stood on the top of a hill. 20 Then Abner called to Joab, and said. Shall the sword devour for (^ver? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the i)eople return from follow- ing their brethren ? 27 And Joab said. As God liveth, unless 'thou hadst spoken, surely then Un the morning the people had "gone up every one from fol- lowing his brother. 28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the i^eople stood still, and pur- sued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 29 AndxVbner and his men walked all that night through the i)lain, find passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 30 And Joab returned from fol- lowing Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men'and Asahel. 31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Al)- uer's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died. 32 *l And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, wdiich was in Beth-le- hem.

What hast thou done? beliold, Abner came unto thee ; why is it tliat thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone ! 25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know "thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest. 26 And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah : but David knew it not. 27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab ^ took him aside in the gate to speak with him " quiet- ly, and smote him there ^ under the fifth ri6, that he died, for the blood of ^ Asahel his brother. 28 *\\ And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my king- dom are guiltless before the Loud for ever from the * blood of Abner the son of Ner : 29 ""Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house ; and let there not ^fajl from the ^that hath an leper, or that house of Joab one issue, or that is a leaneth on a stalf, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 30 So Joab and Abishai his broth- er slew Abner, because he had slain their brother ''Asahel at Gibeon in the battle. 31 ^[ And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, "Eend your clothes, and ''gird you with sackcloth, and mourn be- fore Abner.

And all the people wept again over him. 35 And when all the i)eoi)le came ^to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, say- ing, '' So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or aught else, ' till the sun be down. 3G And all the people took notice of itf and it ^ pleased them : as whatsoever the king did pleased all the i^eople. 37 For all the people and all Is- rael understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner. 38 And the king said unto his servants.

If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Amnion be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 12 '^Be of good courage, and let us ^ play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God : and ' the LoED do that which seemeth him good. 13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that tvere with him, unto ,the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. 14 And when the children of Am- mon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the cliildren of Am- mon, and came to Jerusalem. 15 •[ And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Is- rael, they gathered themselves to- gether. IG And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond " the river ; and they came to Helam : and " Shobach the cap- tain of the host of Hadarezer ivent before them. 17 And when it was told David, be gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to llehim. And the Syrians set them- selves in array against David, and fought with him. 18 Antl the Syrians fled before Israel ; and David slew the men of seven hundred cliariots of the Syr- ians, and forty thousand ""liorse- men, and smote Shobach the cap- tain of their host, wlio died there. 19 And when all the kings that 376 ivere servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Is- rael, they made peace with Israel, and ' served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Am- mon any more. CHAPTEE XI. 1 While Joab besieged Rabbah, David cominiiteth adultery with Bath-sheba. 6 UHah, sent for by Da- vid to cover the adidtery, would not go home neither sober tior drunken. 14 He carrieth to Joab the let- ter of his death. IS Joab sendeth the news thereof to David. 26 David taketh Bath-sheba to wife. AND it came to pass, ^^ after the /A, year was exj)ired, at the time when kings go forth to hattle, that "^ David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel ; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Eabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem. 2 ^ And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, ^ and walked upon the roof of the king's house : and from the roof he " saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. 3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said. Is not this " Bath-sheba, the daughter of "Eliam, the wife '^of Uriah the Hittite ? 4 And David sent messengers, and took her ; and she came in un- to him, and he ""lay with her; "for she was '^ purified from her un clean- ness: and she returned unto her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child. 6 ^[ And David sent to Joab, say- ing, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 And when Uriah was come un- to him, David demanded of Mm Uiow Joab did, and how the peo- X)le did, and how the war j)rosper- ed. 8 And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and ^wasli thy feet.

Avhy then (hdst thou not go down unto thine house? 11 And Uriah said unto David, ''The ark, and Israel, and Judali, abide in tents ; and ' my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in tliG open fields ; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing. 12 And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee de4)art. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow. 13 And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him "^ drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed ' with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. 14 ^\ And it came to pass in the morning, that David "' wrote a let- ter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 And he wrote in the letter, saying. Set ye Uriah in the fore- front of the ♦hottest battle, and retire ye ♦from him, that he may " be smitten, and die. 16 And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he as- signed Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. 17 And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab : and there fell some of the people of the servants of David ; and Uriah the Hittite died also. 18 1 Then Joab sent and told David all the the war ; 19 And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling tlie matters of the war unto the king, 20 And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore ai)proached ye so nigh Before CHRIST about 1035. things concerning P.ludg. r).S2, Jerubbaal. unto the city when ye did light ? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall ? i 21 Who smote "Abimelech tlui "J"ds-9M son of 'Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upou him from the wall, that he died in Thebez ? why went ye nigh the wall ? then say thou, Thy serv- ant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 22 ^\ So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for. 23 And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the held, and we were upon them even mi to the entering of the gate. 24 And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also. 25 Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou i^aiy unto Joab, Let not this thing ♦ dis- please thee, for the sword devour- eth tone as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and en- courage thou him. 20 •[ And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband. 27 And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she "^ became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done ♦dis- pleased the Lord.

Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I ''anointed thee king over Israel, and I deliv- ered thee out of the hand of Saul ; 8 And I gav6 thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Jiidah ; and if that had been too little, I would more- over have given unto thee such and such things. 9 ''Wherefore hast thou ^despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? ^thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to he thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 Now therefore '' the sword shall never depart from tliine house; be- cause thou hast desi^ised me, and liast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise uj) evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will ' take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and lie sli.'ill lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12 For thou didst if secretly : ''but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun. 13 'And David said unto Nathan, 378 °'I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath " put away thy sin ; thou shalt not die. 14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord "to blas- l)heme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. 15 1^ And Nathan departed unto his house. And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick. 16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David ^ fasted, and went in, and ^lay all night upon the earth. 17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the eartli : but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them. 18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said. Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken un- to our voice : how will he then H'ex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead ? 19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David per- ceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his serv- ants. Is the child dead ? And they said. He is dead. 20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and ^ anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and 'Avorshii^ped: then he came to his own house ; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat. 21 Then said his servants unto him. What thing is this that thou hast done I thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread. 22 And he said. While the child was yet alive, 1 fasted and wept : "for I said. Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live! Before CHRIST about 1U34. "ch. 24. 10. Job 7. 20.

A Psalm of David, * to bring to reraembnince. 0"L0R1), rebuke me not in thy wrath : neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2 For 'thine arrows stick fast in me, and "thy hand presseth me sore. 3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine auger; ''nei- ther is there any ^rest in my bones because of my sin. 4 For ''mine inicpiities are gone over mine head: as a heavv bur- den thev are too Hieavv for me. 5 My wounds stink and are cor- rupt because of my foolishness. G I am troubled; *-'! am bowed down greatly ; '' I go mourning all the day long. 7 For my loins are filled with a 'loathsome disease : and there is ""no soundness in my flesh. 8 I am feeble and sore broken : ' I have roared by reason of the dis- quietness of my heart. 9 Lord, all my desire is before thee ; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 10 My heart ijanteth, my strength faileth me : as for "' the light of mine eyes, it also ^ is gone from me. 11 "My lovers and my friends ''stand aloof from my *sore; and "my kinsmen ''stand afar off. 12 They also that seek after my life " lay snares for me ; and they that seek my hurt ^speak mischiev- ous things, and 'imagine deceits all the day long. 13 But *I, as a deaf man., heard not; "and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 14 Thus I was as a man that hear- eth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15 For "in thee, O Lord, ^do I hope : thou wilt " hear, O Lord my God. 16 For I said. Hear me, ^'lest other- ivise they should rejoice over me: when my '^foot slippeth, they ^mag- nify themselves against me. 17 For I am ready Uo halt, and mv sorrow is continuall v before me. 18 For I will 'declare mine iniq- uity; I will be ^sorry for my sin. 19 But mine enemies t^re lively, and they are strong : and they that ''hate me wnmgfully are multi])lied. 20 They also 'that render evil for good are mine adversaries; "^ be- cause I follow the thincj th'at good is. 21 Forsake me not, O Lord : O my God, -be not far from me. 22 ]\Iake haste Uo help me, O Lord 'my salvation. PSALM XXXIX. 1 David's care of Ids tlioughts. 4 The consider at io7i of the bri'vitr/ and vanity of Jife, 7 the reverence of (rod's judgments, 10 and prayer, are his bridles of impatiency. To the cliicf Musician, even to * Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I SAID, I will nake heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep ^^'my mouth with a bridle, "while the wicked is before me. 2 '' I was dumb with silence, I held my x^eace, even from good ; and my sorrow was ^ stirred. 3 Mv heart was hot within me; while I was musing "the fire burn- ed: then spake I with my tongue, 4 Lord, 'make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know "how frail I am. 5 Behold, thou hast made my days as a handbreadth ; and ^mine age is as nothing before thee: '' verily every man ^ at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 6 Surely every man walketh in ^ ' a vain shew : surely they are dis- quieted in vain : ^ he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? ' my hope is in thee. 8 Deliver me from all my trans- gressions: make me not "the re- proach of the foolish. 9 "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because "thou didst it. 10 PEemove thy stroke away from me : I am consumed by the ^ blow of thine hand. 11 When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou mak- 643 t Hcb. for halting, Ps. 35. 15. >> Ps. 32. 5.
