And he said [0559], Lay [07971] not thine hand [03027] upon [0413] the lad [05288], neither do thou [06213] any thing [03972] unto him: for now [06258] I know [03045] that thou fearest [03373] God [0430], seeing thou hast not [03808] withheld [02820] thy son [01121], thine only [03173] son from me.

And we said [0559] unto my lord [0113], The lad [05288] cannot [03201] leave [05800] his father [01]: for if he should leave [05800] his father [01], his father would die [04191].

It shall come to pass, when he seeth [07200] that the lad [05288] is not with us, that he will die [04191]: and thy servants [05650] shall bring down [03381] the gray hairs [07872] of thy servant [05650] our father [01] with sorrow [03015] to the grave [07585].

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant [05650] abide [03427] instead of the lad [05288] a bondman [05650] to my lord [0113]; and let the lad [05288] go up [05927] with his brethren [0251].
For how [0349] shall I go up [05927] to my father [01], and the lad [05288] be not with me? lest peradventure I see [07200] the evil [07451] that shall come on [04672] my father [01].come…: Heb. find my father

When they were by the house [01004] of Micah [04318], they knew [05234] the voice [06963] of the young man [05288] the Levite [03881]: and they turned in [05493] thither, and said [0559] unto him, Who brought [0935] thee hither [01988]? and what makest [06213] thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
And they turned [05493] thitherward, and came [0935] to the house [01004] of the young man [05288] the Levite [03881], even unto the house [01004] of Micah [04318], and saluted [07965] [07592] him.saluted…: Heb. asked him of peace

Then said [0559] Boaz [01162] unto his servant [05288] that was set [05324] over the reapers [07114], Whose damsel [05291] is this?
And the servant [05288] that was set [05324] over the reapers [07114] answered [06030] and said [0559], It is the Moabitish [04125] damsel [05291] that came back [07725] with Naomi [05281] out of the country [07704] of Moab [04124]:
Let thine eyes [05869] be on the field [07704] that they do reap [07114], and go [01980] thou after [0310] them: have I not charged [06680] the young men [05288] that they shall not touch [05060] thee? and when thou art athirst [06770], go [01980] unto the vessels [03627], and drink [08354] of that which the young men [05288] have drawn [07579].
And when she was risen up [06965] to glean [03950], Boaz [01162] commanded [06680] his young men [05288], saying [0559], Let her glean [03950] even among the sheaves [06016], and reproach [03637] her not:reproach…: Heb. shame her not
And Ruth [07327] the Moabitess [04125] said [0559], He said [0559] unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast [01692] by my young men [05288], until they have ended [03615] all my harvest [07105].
But Hannah [02584] went not up [05927]; for she said [0559] unto her husband [0376], I will not go up until the child [05288] be weaned [01580], and then I will bring [0935] him, that he may appear [07200] before [06440] the Lord [03068], and there abide [03427] for [05704] ever [05769].
And when she had weaned [01580] him, she took him up [05927] with her, with three [07969] bullocks [06499], and one [0259] ephah [0374] of flour [07058], and a bottle [05035] of wine [03196], and brought [0935] him unto the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] in Shiloh [07887]: and the child [05288] was young [05288].
And they slew [07819] a bullock [06499], and brought [0935] the child [05288] to Eli [05941].
For this child [05288] I prayed [06419]; and the Lord [03068] hath given [05414] me my petition [07596] which I asked [07592] of him:
And Elkanah [0511] went [03212] to Ramah [07414] to his house [01004]. And the child [05288] did [01961] minister [08334] unto the Lord [03068] before [06440] Eli [05941] the priest [03548].
And the priests' [03548] custom [04941] with the people [05971] was, that, when any man [0376] offered [02076] sacrifice [02077], the priest's [03548] servant [05288] came [0935], while the flesh [01320] was in seething [01310], with a fleshhook [04207] of three [07969] teeth [08127] in his hand [03027];
Also before they burnt [06999] the fat [02459], the priest's [03548] servant [05288] came [0935], and said [0559] to the man [0376] that sacrificed [02076], Give [05414] flesh [01320] to roast [06740] for the priest [03548]; for he will not have [03947] sodden [01310] flesh [01320] of thee, but raw [02416].
Wherefore the sin [02403] of the young men [05288] was very [03966] great [01419] before [06440] the Lord [03068]: for men [0582] abhorred [05006] the offering [04503] of the Lord [03068].
But Samuel [08050] ministered [08334] before [06440] the Lord [03068], being a child [05288], girded [02296] with a linen [0906] ephod [0646].
And [03588] the Lord [03068] visited [06485] Hannah [02584], so that she conceived [02029], and bare [03205] three [07969] sons [01121] and two [08147] daughters [01323]. And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] grew [01431] before [05973] the Lord [03068].
And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] grew [01432] on [01980], and was in favour [02896] both with the Lord [03068], and also with men [0582].
And the child [05288] Samuel [08050] ministered [08334] unto the Lord [03068] before [06440] Eli [05941]. And the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] was precious [03368] in those days [03117]; there was no open [06555] vision [02377].
And the Lord [03068] called [07121] Samuel [08050] again [03254] the third time [07992]. And he arose [06965] and went [03212] to Eli [05941], and said [0559], Here am I; for thou didst call [07121] me. And Eli [05941] perceived [0995] that the Lord [03068] had called [07121] the child [05288].
And she named [07121] the child [05288] I–chabod [0350], saying [0559], The glory [03519] is departed [01540] from Israel [03478]: because [0413] the ark [0727] of God [0430] was taken [03947], and because of her father in law [02524] and her husband [0376].I–chabod: that is, Where is the glory? or, There is no glory
And the asses [0860] of Kish [07027] Saul's [07586] father [01] were lost [06]. And Kish [07027] said [0559] to Saul [07586] his son [01121], Take [03947] now one [0259] of the servants [05288] with thee, and arise [06965], go [03212] seek [01245] the asses [0860].
And when they were come [0935] to the land [0776] of Zuph [06689], Saul [07586] said [0559] to his servant [05288] that was with him, Come [03212], and let us return [07725]; lest my father [01] leave [02308] caring for the asses [0860], and take thought [01672] for us.
Then said [0559] Saul [07586] to his servant [05288], But, behold, if we go [03212], what shall we bring [0935] the man [0376]? for the bread [03899] is spent [0235] in our vessels [03627], and there is not a present [08670] to bring [0935] to the man [0376] of God [0430]: what have we?is spent…: Heb. is gone out of, etchave we: Heb. is with us?
And the servant [05288] answered [06030] Saul [07586] again [03254], and said [0559], Behold, I have [04672] here at hand [03027] the fourth part [07253] of a shekel [08255] of silver [03701]: that will I give [05414] to the man [0376] of God [0430], to tell [05046] us our way [01870].I have…: Heb. there is found in my hand
Then said [01697] Saul [07586] to his servant [05288], Well [02896] said [0559]; come [03212], let us go [03212]. So they went [03212] unto the city [05892] where the man [0376] of God [0430] was.Well said: Heb. Thy word is good
And Samuel [08050] took [03947] Saul [07586] and his servant [05288], and brought [0935] them into the parlour [03957], and made them sit [05414] in the chiefest [07218] place [04725] among them that were bidden [07121], which were about thirty [07970] persons [0376].
And as they were going down [03381] to the end [07097] of the city [05892], Samuel [08050] said [0559] to Saul [07586], Bid [0559] the servant [05288] pass on [05674] before [06440] us, (and he passed on [05674],) but stand [05975] thou still a while [03117], that I may shew [08085] thee the word [01697] of God [0430].a while: Heb. to day
And Saul's [07586] uncle [01730] said [0559] unto him and to his servant [05288], Whither [0575] went [01980] ye? And he said [0559], To seek [01245] the asses [0860]: and when we saw [07200] that they were no where [0369], we came [0935] to Samuel [08050].
Now it came to pass upon a day [03117], that Jonathan [03129] the son [01121] of Saul [07586] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that bare [05375] his armour [03627], Come [03212], and let us go over [05674] to the Philistines' [06430] garrison [04673], that is on the other side [01975] [05676]. But he told [05046] not his father [01].it came…: or, there was a day
And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] to the young man [05288] that bare [05375] his armour [03627], Come [03212], and let us go over [05674] unto the garrison [04673] of these uncircumcised [06189]: it may be that the Lord [03068] will work [06213] for us: for there is no restraint [04622] to the Lord [03068] to save [03467] by many [07227] or by few [04592].
And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Jesse [03448], Are here all [08552] thy children [05288]? And he said [0559], There remaineth [07604] yet the youngest [06996], and, behold, he keepeth [07462] the sheep [06629]. And Samuel [08050] said [0559] unto Jesse [03448], Send [07971] and fetch [03947] him: for we will not sit down [05437] till he come [0935] hither [06311].down: Heb. round
Then answered [06030] one [0259] of the servants [05288], and said [0559], Behold, I have seen [07200] a son [01121] of Jesse [03448] the Beth–lehemite [01022], that is cunning [03045] in playing [05059], and a mighty [01368] valiant man [02428], and a man [0376] of war [04421], and prudent [0995] in matters [01697], and a comely [08389] person [0376], and the Lord [03068] is with him.matters: or, speech
And Saul [07586] said [0559] to David [01732], Thou art not able [03201] to go [03212] against this Philistine [06430] to fight [03898] with him: for thou art but a youth [05288], and he a man [0376] of war [04421] from his youth [05271].
And when the Philistine [06430] looked about [05027], and saw [07200] David [01732], he disdained [0959] him: for he was but a youth [05288], and ruddy [0132], and of a fair [03303] countenance [04758].
And when Saul [07586] saw [07200] David [01732] go forth [03318] against [07125] the Philistine [06430], he said [0559] unto Abner [074], the captain [08269] of the host [06635], Abner [074], whose son [01121] is this youth [05288]? And Abner [074] said [0559], As thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], O king [04428], I cannot [0518] tell [03045].
And Saul [07586] said [0559] to him, Whose son [01121] art thou, thou young man [05288]? And David [01732] answered [0559], I am the son [01121] of thy servant [05650] Jesse [03448] the Beth–lehemite [01022].
And, behold, I will send [07971] a lad [05288], saying, Go [03212], find out [04672] the arrows [02671]. If I expressly [0559] say [0559] unto the lad [05288], Behold, the arrows [02671] are on this side of thee, take [03947] them; then come [0935] thou: for there is peace [07965] to thee, and no hurt [01697]; as the Lord [03068] liveth [02416].no hurt: Heb. not any thing
And it came to pass in the morning [01242], that Jonathan [03083] went out [03318] into the field [07704] at the time appointed [04150] with David [01732], and a little [06996] lad [05288] with him.
And he said [0559] unto his lad [05288], Run [07323], find out [04672] now the arrows [02671] which I shoot [03384]. And as the lad [05288] ran [07323], he shot [03384] an arrow [02678] beyond [05674] him.beyond…: Heb. to pass over him
And when the lad [05288] was come [0935] to the place [04725] of the arrow [02678] which Jonathan [03083] had shot [03384], Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], and said [0559], Is not the arrow [02678] beyond [01973] thee?
And Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], Make speed [04120], haste [02363], stay [05975] not. And Jonathan's [03083] lad [05288] gathered up [03950] the arrows [02678] [02671], and came [0935] to his master [0113].
But the lad [05288] knew [03045] not any thing [03972]: only Jonathan [03083] and David [01732] knew [03045] the matter [01697].
And Jonathan [03083] gave [05414] his artillery [03627] unto his lad [05288], and said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], carry [0935] them to the city [05892].artillery: Heb. instrumentshis lad: Heb. the lad that was his
And as soon as the lad [05288] was gone [0935], David [01732] arose [06965] out of a place toward [0681] the south [05045], and fell [05307] on his face [0639] to the ground [0776], and bowed [07812] himself three [07969] times [06471]: and they kissed [05401] one [0376] another [07453], and wept [01058] one [0376] with another [07453], until David [01732] exceeded [01431].
And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], The king [04428] hath commanded [06680] me a business [01697], and hath said [0559] unto me, Let no man [0376] know [03045] any thing [03972] of the business [01697] whereabout I send [07971] thee, and what I have commanded [06680] thee: and I have appointed [03045] my servants [05288] to such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725].
And the priest [03548] answered [06030] David [01732], and said [0559], There is no common [02455] bread [03899] under mine hand [03027], but there is [03426] hallowed [06944] bread [03899]; if the young men [05288] have kept [08104] themselves at least [0389] from women [0802].
And David [01732] answered [06030] the priest [03548], and said [0559] unto him, Of a truth [0518] women [0802] have been kept [06113] from us about these three [08032] days [08543], since I came out [03318], and the vessels [03627] of the young men [05288] are holy [06944], and the bread is in a manner [01870] common [02455], yea, though it were sanctified [06942] this day [03117] in the vessel [03627].yea…: or, especially when this day there is other sanctified in the vessel
And David [01732] sent out [07971] ten [06235] young men [05288], and David [01732] said [0559] unto the young men [05288], Get you up [05927] to Carmel [03760], and go [0935] to Nabal [05037], and greet [07965] [07592] him in my name [08034]:greet…: Heb. ask him in my name of peace
Ask [07592] thy young men [05288], and they will shew [05046] thee. Wherefore let the young men [05288] find [04672] favour [02580] in thine eyes [05869]: for we come [0935] in a good [02896] day [03117]: give [05414], I pray thee, whatsoever cometh [04672] to thine hand [03027] unto thy servants [05650], and to thy son [01121] David [01732].
And when David's [01732] young men [05288] came [0935], they spake [01696] to Nabal [05037] according to all those words [01697] in the name [08034] of David [01732], and ceased [05117].ceased: Heb. rested
So David's [01732] young men [05288] turned [02015] their way [01870], and went again [07725], and came [0935] and told [05046] him all those sayings [01697].
But one [0259] of the young men [05288] told [05046] Abigail [026], Nabal's [05037] wife [0802], saying [0559], Behold, David [01732] sent [07971] messengers [04397] out of the wilderness [04057] to salute [01288] our master [0113]; and he railed [05860] on them.railed…: Heb. flew upon them
And she said [0559] unto her servants [05288], Go on [05674] before [06440] me; behold, I come [0935] after [0310] you. But she told [05046] not her husband [0376] Nabal [05037].
Let [07760] not my lord [0113], I pray thee, regard [03820] this man [0376] of Belial [01100], even Nabal [05037]: for as his name [08034] is, so is he; Nabal [05037] is his name [08034], and folly [05039] is with him: but I thine handmaid [0519] saw [07200] not the young men [05288] of my lord [0113], whom thou didst send [07971].regard: Heb. lay it to his heartNabal: that is, Fool
And now this blessing [01293] which thine handmaid [08198] hath brought [0935] unto my lord [0113], let it even be given [05414] unto the young men [05288] that follow [07272] [01980] my lord [0113].blessing: or, presentfollow…: Heb. walk at the feet of, etc
And David [01732] answered [06030] and said [0559], Behold the king's [04428] spear [02595]! and let one [0259] of the young men [05288] come over [05674] and fetch [03947] it.
And David [01732] said [0559] unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said [0559], I am a young man [05288] of Egypt [04713], servant [05650] to an Amalekite [06003] [0376]; and my master [0113] left [05800] me, because three [07969] days [03117] agone I fell sick [02470].
And David [01732] smote [05221] them from the twilight [05399] even unto the evening [06153] of the next day [04283]: and there escaped [04422] not a man [0376] of them, save four [0702] hundred [03967] young [05288] men [0376], which rode [07392] upon camels [01581], and fled [05127].the next…: Heb. their morrow
And David [01732] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that told [05046] him, How knowest [03045] thou that Saul [07586] and Jonathan [03083] his son [01121] be dead [04191]?
And the young man [05288] that told [05046] him said [0559], As I happened [07136] by chance [07122] upon mount [02022] Gilboa [01533], behold, Saul [07586] leaned [08172] upon his spear [02595]; and, lo, the chariots [07393] and horsemen [06571] [01167] followed hard [01692] after him.
And David [01732] said [0559] unto the young man [05288] that told [05046] him, Whence art thou? And he answered [0559], I am the son [01121] of a stranger [01616] [0376], an Amalekite [06003].
And David [01732] called [07121] one [0259] of the young men [05288], and said [0559], Go near [05066], and fall [06293] upon him. And he smote [05221] him that he died [04191].
And Abner [074] said [0559] to Joab [03097], Let the young men [05288] now arise [06965], and play [07832] before [06440] us. And Joab [03097] said [0559], Let them arise [06965].
And Abner [074] said [0559] to him, Turn thee aside [05186] to thy right hand [03225] or to thy left [08040], and lay thee hold [0270] on one [0259] of the young men [05288], and take [03947] thee his armour [02488]. But Asahel [06214] would [014] not turn aside [05493] from following [0310] of him.armour: or, spoil
And David [01732] commanded [06680] his young men [05288], and they slew [02026] them, and cut off [07112] their hands [03027] and their feet [07272], and hanged them up [08518] over the pool [01295] in Hebron [02275]. But they took [03947] the head [07218] of Ish–bosheth [0378], and buried [06912] it in the sepulchre [06913] of Abner [074] in Hebron [02275].
Then the king [04428] called [07121] to Ziba [06717], Saul's [07586] servant [05288], and said [0559] unto him, I have given [05414] unto thy master's [0113] son [01121] all that pertained [01961] to Saul [07586] and to all his house [01004].
David [01732] therefore besought [01245] God [0430] for the child [05288]; and David [01732] fasted [06685] [06684], and went in [0935], and lay [07901] all night [03885] upon the earth [0776].fasted: Heb. fasted a fast
Then he called [07121] his servant [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, and said [0559], Put [07971] now this woman out [02351] from me, and bolt [05274] the door [01817] after [0310] her.
Now Absalom [053] had commanded [06680] his servants [05288], saying [0559], Mark [07200] ye now when Amnon's [0550] heart [03820] is merry [02896] with wine [03196], and when I say [0559] unto you, Smite [05221] Amnon [0550]; then kill [04191] him, fear [03372] not: have not I commanded [06680] you? be courageous [02388], and be valiant [02428] [01121].have…: or, will you not, since I have commanded you?valiant: Heb. sons of valour
And the servants [05288] of Absalom [053] did [06213] unto Amnon [0550] as Absalom [053] had commanded [06680]. Then all the king's [04428] sons [01121] arose [06965], and every man [0376] gat him up [07392] upon his mule [06505], and fled [05127].gat…: Heb. rode
And Jonadab [03122], the son [01121] of Shimeah [08093] David's [01732] brother [0251], answered [06030] and said [0559], Let not my lord [0113] suppose [0559] that they have slain [04191] all the young men [05288] the king's [04428] sons [01121]; for Amnon [0550] only is dead [04191]: for by the appointment [06310] of Absalom [053] this hath been determined [07760] from the day [03117] that he forced [06031] his sister [0269] Tamar [08559].appointment: Heb. mouthdetermined: or, settled
But Absalom [053] fled [01272]. And the young man [05288] that kept the watch [06822] lifted up [05375] his eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, there came [01980] much [07227] people [05971] by the way [01870] of the hill [02022] side [06654] behind [0310] him.
And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Joab [03097], Behold now, I have done [06213] this thing [01697]: go [03212] therefore, bring [07725] the young man [05288] Absalom [053] again [07725].
And when David [01732] was a little [04592] past [05674] the top [07218] of the hill, behold, Ziba [06717] the servant [05288] of Mephibosheth [04648] met [07125] him, with a couple [06776] of asses [02543] saddled [02280], and upon them two hundred [03967] loaves of bread [03899], and an hundred [03967] bunches of raisins [06778], and an hundred [03967] of summer fruits [07019], and a bottle [05035] of wine [03196].
And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Ziba [06717], What meanest thou by these? And Ziba [06717] said [0559], The asses [02543] be for the king's [04428] household [01004] to ride on [07392]; and the bread [03899] and summer fruit [07019] for the young men [05288] to eat [0398]; and the wine [03196], that such as be faint [03287] in the wilderness [04057] may drink [08354].
Nevertheless a lad [05288] saw [07200] them, and told [05046] Absalom [053]: but they went [03212] both [08147] of them away quickly [04120], and came [0935] to a man's [0376] house [01004] in Bahurim [0980], which had a well [0875] in his court [02691]; whither [08033] they went down [03381].
And the king [04428] commanded [06680] Joab [03097] and Abishai [052] and Ittai [0863], saying [0559], Deal gently [0328] for my sake with the young man [05288], even with Absalom [053]. And all the people [05971] heard [08085] when the king [04428] gave all the captains [08269] charge [06680] concerning [01697] Absalom [053].
And the man [0376] said [0559] unto Joab [03097], Though [03863] I should receive [08254] a thousand [0505] shekels of silver [03701] in mine hand [03709], yet would I not put forth [07971] mine hand [03027] against the king's [04428] son [01121]: for in our hearing [0241] the king [04428] charged [06680] thee and Abishai [052] and Ittai [0863], saying [0559], Beware [08104] that none touch the young man [05288] Absalom [053].receive: Heb. weigh upon mine handBeware…: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc
And ten [06235] young men [05288] that bare [05375] Joab's [03097] armour [03627] compassed about [05437] and smote [05221] Absalom [053], and slew [04191] him.
And the king [04428] said [0559], Is the young man [05288] Absalom [053] safe [07965]? And Ahimaaz [0290] answered [0559], When Joab [03097] sent [07971] the king's [04428] servant [05650], and me thy servant [05650], I saw [07200] a great [01419] tumult [01995], but I knew [03045] not what it was.Is…: Heb. Is there peace?
And the king [04428] said [0559] unto Cushi [03569], Is the young man [05288] Absalom [053] safe [07965]? And Cushi [03569] answered [0559], The enemies [0341] of my lord [0113] the king [04428], and all that rise [06965] against thee to do thee hurt [07451], be as that young man [05288] is.
And there were a thousand [0505] men [0376] of Benjamin [01145] with him, and Ziba [06717] the servant [05288] of the house [01004] of Saul [07586], and his fifteen [06240] [02568] sons [01121] and his twenty [06242] servants [05650] with him; and they went over [06743] Jordan [03383] before [06440] the king [04428].
And one [0376] of Joab's [03097] men [05288] stood [05975] by him, and said [0559], He [04310] that favoureth [02654] Joab [03097], and he that is for David [01732], let him go after [0310] Joab [03097].
And now, O Lord [03068] my God [0430], thou hast made thy servant [05650] king [04427] instead of David [01732] my father [01]: and I am but a little [06996] child [05288]: I know [03045] not how to go out [03318] or come in [0935].
That Hadad [0111] fled [01272], he and certain [0582] Edomites [0130] of his father's [01] servants [05650] with him, to go [0935] into Egypt [04714]; Hadad [01908] being yet a little [06996] child [05288].
And the man [0376] Jeroboam [03379] was a mighty man [01368] of valour [02428]: and Solomon [08010] seeing [07200] the young man [05288] that he was industrious [04399] [06213], he made him ruler [06485] over all the charge [05447] of the house [01004] of Joseph [03130].was industrious: Heb. did workcharge: Heb. burden
And take [03947] with thee [03027] ten [06235] loaves [03899], and cracknels [05350], and a cruse [01228] of honey [01706], and go [0935] to him: he shall tell [05046] thee what shall become of the child [05288].with…: Heb. in thine handcracknels: or, cakescruse: or, bottle
And Jeroboam's [03379] wife [0802] arose [06965], and departed [03212], and came [0935] to Tirzah [08656]: and when she came [0935] to the threshold [05592] of the door [01004], the child [05288] died [04191];
And said [0559] to his servant [05288], Go up [05927] now, look [05027] toward [01870] the sea [03220]. And he went up [05927], and looked [05027], and said [0559], There is nothing [03972]. And he said [0559], Go again [07725] seven [07651] times [06471].
And when he saw [07200] that, he arose [06965], and went [03212] for his life [05315], and came [0935] to Beer–sheba [0884], which belongeth to Judah [03063], and left [03240] his servant [05288] there.
And Ahab [0256] said [0559], By whom? And he said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Even by the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082]. Then he said [0559], Who shall order [0631] the battle [04421]? And he answered [0559], Thou.young…: or, servantsorder: Heb. bind, or, tie
Then he numbered [06485] the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082], and they were two [08147] hundred [03967] and thirty [07970] two [08147]: and after [0310] them he numbered [06485] all the people [05971], even all the children [01121] of Israel [03478], being seven [07651] thousand [0505].
And the young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082] went out [03318] first [07223]; and Ben–hadad [01130] sent out [07971], and they told [05046] him, saying [0559], There are men [0582] come out [03318] of Samaria [08111].
So these young men [05288] of the princes [08269] of the provinces [04082] came out [03318] of the city [05892], and the army [02428] which followed [0310] them.
And he went up [05927] from thence unto Beth–el [01008]: and as he was going up [05927] by the way [01870], there came forth [03318] little [06996] children [05288] out of the city [05892], and mocked [07046] him, and said [0559] unto him, Go up [05927], thou bald head [07142]; go up [05927], thou bald head [07142].
And he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522] his servant [05288], Call [07121] this Shunammite [07767]. And when he had called [07121] her, she stood [05975] before [06440] him.
And he said [0559] unto his father [01], My head [07218], my head [07218]. And he said [0559] to a lad [05288], Carry [05375] him to his mother [0517].
And she called [07121] unto her husband [0376], and said [0559], Send [07971] me, I pray thee, one [0259] of the young men [05288], and one [0259] of the asses [0860], that I may run [07323] to the man [0376] of God [0430], and come again [07725].
Then she saddled [02280] an ass [0860], and said [0559] to her servant [05288], Drive [05090], and go forward [03212]; slack [06113] not thy riding [07392] for me, except I bid [0559] thee.slack…: Heb. restrain not for me to ride
So she went [03212] and came [0935] unto the man [0376] of God [0430] to mount [02022] Carmel [03760]. And it came to pass, when the man [0376] of God [0430] saw her afar off [07200], that he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522] his servant [05288], Behold, yonder is that [01975] Shunammite [07767]:
Then he said [0559] to Gehazi [01522], Gird up [02296] thy loins [04975], and take [03947] my staff [04938] in thine hand [03027], and go thy way [03212]: if thou meet [04672] any man [0376], salute [01288] him not; and if any [0376] salute [01288] thee, answer him not again [06030]: and lay [07760] my staff [04938] upon the face [06440] of the child [05288].
And the mother [0517] of the child [05288] said [0559], As the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. And he arose [06965], and followed [0310] [03212] her.
And Gehazi [01522] passed on [05674] before [06440] them, and laid [07760] the staff [04938] upon the face [06440] of the child [05288]; but there was neither voice [06963], nor hearing [07182]. Wherefore he went again [07725] to meet [07125] him, and told [05046] him, saying [0559], The child [05288] is not awaked [06974].hearing: Heb. attention
And when Elisha [0477] was come [0935] into the house [01004], behold, the child [05288] was dead [04191], and laid [07901] upon his bed [04296].
Then he returned [07725], and walked [03212] in the house [01004] to [02008] [0259] and fro [02008] [0259]; and went up [05927], and stretched [01457] himself upon him: and the child [05288] sneezed [02237] seven [07651] times [06471], and the child [05288] opened [06491] his eyes [05869].to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither
And Elisha [0477] came again [07725] to Gilgal [01537]: and there was a dearth [07458] in the land [0776]; and the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] were sitting [03427] before [06440] him: and he said [0559] unto his servant [05288], Set [08239] on the great [01419] pot [05518], and seethe [01310] pottage [05138] for the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030].
Then went he down [03381], and dipped [02881] himself seven [07651] times [06471] in Jordan [03383], according to the saying [01697] of the man [0376] of God [0430]: and his flesh [01320] came again [07725] like unto the flesh [01320] of a little [06996] child [05288], and he was clean [02891].
But Gehazi [01522], the servant [05288] of Elisha [0477] the man [0376] of God [0430], said [0559], Behold, my master [0113] hath spared [02820] Naaman [05283] this Syrian [0761], in not receiving [03947] at his hands [03027] that which he brought [0935]: but, as the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], I will run [07323] after [0310] him, and take [03947] somewhat [03972] of him.
And he said [0559], All is well [07965]. My master [0113] hath sent [07971] me, saying [0559], Behold, even now there be come [0935] to me from mount [02022] Ephraim [0669] two [08147] young men [05288] of the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030]: give [05414] them, I pray thee, a talent [03603] of silver [03701], and two [08147] changes [02487] of garments [0899].
And Naaman [05283] said [0559], Be content [02974], take [03947] two talents [03603]. And he urged [06555] him, and bound [06696] two [08147] talents [03603] of silver [03701] in two [08147] bags [02754], with two [08147] changes [02487] of garments [0899], and laid [05414] them upon two [08147] of his servants [05288]; and they bare [05375] them before [06440] him.
And when the servant [08334] of the man [0376] of God [0430] was risen [06965] early [07925], and gone forth [03318], behold, an host [02428] compassed [05437] the city [05892] both with horses [05483] and chariots [07393]. And his servant [05288] said [0559] unto him, Alas [0162], my master [0113]! how shall we do [06213]?the servant: or, the minister
And Elisha [0477] prayed [06419], and said [0559], Lord [03068], I pray thee, open [06491] his eyes [05869], that he may see [07200]. And the Lord [03068] opened [06491] the eyes [05869] of the young man [05288]; and he saw [07200]: and, behold, the mountain [02022] was full [04390] of horses [05483] and chariots [07393] of fire [0784] round about [05439] Elisha [0477].
And the king [04428] talked [01696] with Gehazi [01522] the servant [05288] of the man [0376] of God [0430], saying [0559], Tell [05608] me, I pray thee, all the great things [01419] that Elisha [0477] hath done [06213].
So the young man [05288], even the young man [05288] the prophet [05030], went [03212] to Ramoth–gilead [01568] [07433].
And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] to your master [0113], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the words [01697] which thou hast heard [08085], with which the servants [05288] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] have blasphemed [01442] me.
And Zadok [06659], a young man [05288] mighty [01368] of valour [02428], and of his father's [01] house [01004] twenty [06242] and two [08147] captains [08269].
And David [01732] said [0559], Solomon [08010] my son [01121] is young [05288] and tender [07390], and the house [01004] that is to be builded [01129] for the Lord [03068] must be exceeding [04605] magnifical [01431], of fame [08034] and of glory [08597] throughout all countries [0776]: I will therefore now make preparation [03559] for it. So David [01732] prepared [03559] abundantly [07230] before [06440] his death [04194].
Furthermore David [01732] the king [04428] said [0559] unto all the congregation [06951], Solomon [08010] my son [01121], whom alone [0259] God [0430] hath chosen [0977], is yet young [05288] and tender [07390], and the work [04399] is great [01419]: for the palace [01002] is not for man [0120], but for the Lord [03068] God [0430].
And there are gathered [06908] unto him vain [07386] men [0582], the children [01121] of Belial [01100], and have strengthened [0553] themselves against Rehoboam [07346] the son [01121] of Solomon [08010], when Rehoboam [07346] was young [05288] and tenderhearted [03824] [07390], and could not withstand [02388] them [06440].
For in the eighth [08083] year [08141] of his reign [04427], while he was yet young [05288], he began [02490] to seek [01875] after the God [0430] of David [01732] his father [01]: and in the twelfth [06240] [08147] year [08141] he began [02490] to purge [02891] Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] from the high places [01116], and the groves [0842], and the carved images [06456], and the molten images [04541].
And it came to pass from that time [03117] forth, that the half [02677] of my servants [05288] wrought [06213] in the work [04399], and the other half [02677] of them held [02388] both the spears [07420], the shields [04043], and the bows [07198], and the habergeons [08302]; and the rulers [08269] were behind [0310] all the house [01004] of Judah [03063].
Likewise at the same time [06256] said [0559] I unto the people [05971], Let every one [0376] with his servant [05288] lodge [03885] within [08432] Jerusalem [03389], that in the night [03915] they may be a guard [04929] to us, and labour [04399] on the day [03117].
So neither I, nor my brethren [0251], nor my servants [05288], nor the men [0582] of the guard [04929] which followed [0310] me, none of us [0587] put off [06584] our clothes [0899], saving that every one [0376] put them off [07973] for washing [04325].saving…: or, every one went with his weapon for water
I likewise, and my brethren [0251], and my servants [05288], might exact [05383] of them money [03701] and corn [01715]: I pray you, let us leave off [05800] this usury [04855].
But the former [07223] governors [06346] that had been before [06440] me were chargeable [03513] unto the people [05971], and had taken [03947] of them bread [03899] and wine [03196], beside [0310] forty [0705] shekels [08255] of silver [03701]; yea, even [01571] their servants [05288] bare rule [07980] over the people [05971]: but so did [06213] not I, because [06440] of the fear [03374] of God [0430].
Yea, also I continued [02388] in the work [04399] of this wall [02346], neither bought [07069] we any land [07704]: and all my servants [05288] were gathered [06908] thither unto the work [04399].
Then sent [07971] Sanballat [05571] his servant [05288] unto me in like manner [01697] the fifth [02549] time [06471] with an open [06605] letter [0107] in his hand [03027];
And it came to pass, that when the gates [08179] of Jerusalem [03389] began to be dark [06751] before [06440] the sabbath [07676], I commanded [0559] that the gates [01817] should be shut [05462], and charged [0559] that they should not be opened [06605] till after [0310] the sabbath [07676]: and some of my servants [05288] set [05975] I at the gates [08179], that there should no burden [04853] be brought in [0935] on the sabbath [07676] day [03117].
Then said [0559] the king's [04428] servants [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, Let there be fair [04758] [02896] young [05291] virgins [01330] sought [01245] for the king [04428]:
And the letters [05612] were sent [07971] by [03027] posts [07323] into all the king's [04428] provinces [04082], to destroy [08045], to kill [02026], and to cause to perish [06], all Jews [03064], both young [05288] and old [02205], little children [02945] and women [0802], in one [0259] day [03117], even upon the thirteenth [06240] [07969] day of the twelfth [06240] [08147] month [02320], which is the month [02320] Adar [0143], and to take the spoil [07998] of them for a prey [0962].
And the king [04428] said [0559], What honour [03366] and dignity [01420] hath been done [06213] to Mordecai [04782] for this? Then said [0559] the king's [04428] servants [05288] that ministered [08334] unto him, There is nothing [01697] done [06213] for him.
And the king's [04428] servants [05288] said [0559] unto him, Behold, Haman [02001] standeth [05975] in the court [02691]. And the king [04428] said [0559], Let him come in [0935].
And the Sabeans [07614] fell [05307] upon them, and took them away [03947]; yea, they have slain [05221] the servants [05288] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.
While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The fire [0784] of God [0430] is fallen [05307] from heaven [08064], and hath burned up [01197] the sheep [06629], and the servants [05288], and consumed [0398] them; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.The fire…: or, A great fire
While he was yet speaking [01696], there came [0935] also another, and said [0559], The Chaldeans [03778] made out [07760] three [07969] bands [07218], and fell [06584] upon the camels [01581], and have carried them away [03947], yea, and slain [05221] the servants [05288] with the edge [06310] of the sword [02719]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.fell: Heb. rushed
And, behold, there came [0935] a great [01419] wind [07307] from [05676] the wilderness [04057], and smote [05060] the four [0702] corners [06438] of the house [01004], and it fell [05307] upon the young men [05288], and they are dead [04191]; and I only am escaped [04422] alone to tell [05046] thee.from…: Heb. from aside, etc
Behold, as wild asses [06501] in the desert [04057], go they forth [03318] to their work [06467]; rising betimes [07836] for a prey [02964]: the wilderness [06160] yieldeth food [03899] for them and for their children [05288].
When the Almighty [07706] was yet with me, when my children [05288] were about [05439] me;
The young men [05288] saw [07200] me, and hid [02244] themselves: and the aged [03453] arose [06965], and stood up [05975].
I have been young [05288], and now am old [02204]; yet have I not seen [07200] the righteous [06662] forsaken [05800], nor his seed [02233] begging [01245] bread [03899].
Wherewithal shall a young man [05288] cleanse [02135] his way [0734]? by taking heed [08104] thereto according to thy word [01697].
Both young men [0970], and maidens [01330]; old men [02205], and children [05288]:
To give [05414] subtilty [06195] to the simple [06612], to the young man [05288] knowledge [01847] and discretion [04209].discretion: or, advisement
And beheld [07200] among the simple ones [06612], I discerned [0995] among the youths [01121], a young man [05288] void [02638] of understanding [03820],the youths: Heb. the sons
Even a child [05288] is known [05234] by his doings [04611], whether his work [06467] be pure [02134], and whether it be right [03477].
Train up [02596] a child [05288] in the way [01870] he should go [06310]: and when he is old [02204], he will not depart [05493] from it.Train…: or, Catechisein…: Heb. in his way
Foolishness [0200] is bound [07194] in the heart [03820] of a child [05288]; but the rod [07626] of correction [04148] shall drive it far [07368] from him.
Withhold [04513] not correction [04148] from the child [05288]: for if thou beatest [05221] him with the rod [07626], he shall not die [04191].
The rod [07626] and reproof [08433] give [05414] wisdom [02451]: but a child [05288] left [07971] to himself bringeth his mother [0517] to shame [0954].
Woe [0337] to thee, O land [0776], when thy king [04428] is a child [05288], and thy princes [08269] eat [0398] in the morning [01242]!
And I will give [05414] children [05288] to be their princes [08269], and babes [08586] shall rule [04910] over them.
And the people [05971] shall be oppressed [05065], every one [0376] by another [0376], and every one [0376] by his neighbour [07453]: the child [05288] shall behave himself proudly [07292] against the ancient [02205], and the base [07034] against the honourable [03513].
For before the child [05288] shall know [03045] to refuse [03988] the evil [07451], and choose [0977] the good [02896], the land [0127] that thou abhorrest [06973] shall be [06440] forsaken [05800] of both [08147] her kings [04428].
For before the child [05288] shall have knowledge [03045] to cry [07121], My father [01], and my mother [0517], the riches [02428] of Damascus [01834] and the spoil [07998] of Samaria [08111] shall be taken away [05375] before [06440] the king [04428] of Assyria [0804].the riches…: or, he that is before the king of Assyria shall take away the riches, etc
And the rest [07605] of the trees [06086] of his forest [03293] shall be few [04557], that a child [05288] may write [03789] them.few: Heb. number
The wolf [02061] also shall dwell [01481] with the lamb [03532], and the leopard [05246] shall lie down [07257] with the kid [01423]; and the calf [05695] and the young lion [03715] and the fatling [04806] together [03162]; and a little [06996] child [05288] shall lead [05090] them.
Their bows [07198] also shall dash [07376] the young men [05288] to pieces [07376]; and they shall have no pity [07355] on the fruit [06529] of the womb [0990]; their eye [05869] shall not spare [02347] children [01121].
So shall the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] lead away [05090] the Egyptians [04714] prisoners [07628], and the Ethiopians [03568] captives [01546], young [05288] and old [02205], naked [06174] and barefoot [03182], even with their buttocks [08357] uncovered [02834], to the shame [06172] of Egypt [04714].the Egyptians…: Heb. the captivity of Egyptshame: Heb. nakedness
And Isaiah [03470] said [0559] unto them, Thus shall ye say [0559] unto your master [0113], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Be not afraid [03372] of [06440] the words [01697] that thou hast heard [08085], wherewith the servants [05288] of the king [04428] of Assyria [0804] have blasphemed [01442] me.
Even the youths [05288] shall faint [03286] and be weary [03021], and the young men [0970] shall utterly [03782] fall [03782]:
There shall be no more thence an infant [05764] of days [03117], nor an old man [02205] that hath not filled [04390] his days [03117]: for the child [05288] shall die [04191] an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121]; but the sinner [02398] being an hundred [03967] years [08141] old [01121] shall be accursed [07043].
Then said [0559] I, Ah [0162], Lord [0136] God [03069]! behold, I cannot [03045] speak [01696]: for I am a child [05288].
But the Lord [03068] said [0559] unto me, Say [0559] not, I am a child [05288]: for thou shalt go [03212] to all that I shall send [07971] thee, and whatsoever I command [06680] thee thou shalt speak [01696].
With thee also will I break in pieces [05310] man [0376] and woman [0802]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] old [02205] and young [05288]; and with thee will I break in pieces [05310] the young man [0970] and the maid [01330];
The young [05288] and the old [02205] lie [07901] on the ground [0776] in the streets [02351]: my virgins [01330] and my young men [0970] are fallen [05307] by the sword [02719]; thou hast slain [02026] them in the day [03117] of thine anger [0639]; thou hast killed [02873], and not pitied [02550].
They took [05375] the young men [0970] to grind [02911], and the children [05288] fell [03782] under the wood [06086].
When Israel [03478] was a child [05288], then I loved [0157] him, and called [07121] my son [01121] out of Egypt [04714].
And said [0559] unto him, Run [07323], speak [01696] to this [01975] young man [05288], saying [0559], Jerusalem [03389] shall be inhabited [03427] as towns without walls [06519] for the multitude [07230] of men [0120] and cattle [0929] therein [08432]:
