Where Valley of Gibeon appears in Scripture
כָּל-אֵלֶּה חָֽבְרוּ אֶל-עֵמֶק הַשִּׂדִּים הוּא יָם הַמֶּֽלַח׃
All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
וַיֵּצֵא מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם וּמֶלֶךְ עֲמֹרָה וּמֶלֶךְ אַדְמָה וּמֶלֶךְ (צביים) צְבוֹיִם וּמֶלֶךְ בֶּלַע הִוא-צֹעַר וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ אִתָּם מִלְחָמָה בְּעֵמֶק הַשִּׂדִּֽים׃
And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
וְעֵמֶק הַשִׂדִּים בֶּֽאֱרֹת בֶּֽאֱרֹת חֵמָר וַיָּנֻסוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם וַֽעֲמֹרָה וַיִּפְּלוּ-שָׁמָּה וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים הֶרָה נָּֽסוּ׃
And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
וַיֵּצֵא מֶֽלֶךְ-סְדֹם לִקְרָאתוֹ אַֽחֲרֵי שׁוּבוֹ מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-כְּדָרְלָעֹמֶר וְאֶת-הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ אֶל-עֵמֶק שָׁוֵה הוּא עֵמֶק הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ לֶךְ-נָא רְאֵה אֶת-שְׁלוֹם אַחֶיךָ וְאֶת-שְׁלוֹם הַצֹּאן וַֽהֲשִׁבֵנִי דָּבָר וַיִּשְׁלָחֵהוּ מֵעֵמֶק חֶבְרוֹן וַיָּבֹא שְׁכֶֽמָה׃
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
וְהָֽעֲמָלֵקִי וְהַֽכְּנַעֲנִי יוֹשֵׁב בָּעֵמֶק מָחָר פְּנוּ וּסְעוּ לָכֶם הַמִּדְבָּר דֶּרֶךְ יַם-סֽוּף׃
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
וַיִּקַּח יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-עָכָן בֶּן-זֶרַח וְאֶת-הַכֶּסֶף וְאֶת-הָֽאַדֶּרֶת וְֽאֶת-לְשׁוֹן הַזָּהָב וְֽאֶת-בָּנָיו וְֽאֶת-בְּנֹתָיו וְאֶת-שׁוֹרוֹ וְאֶת-חֲמֹרוֹ וְאֶת-צֹאנוֹ וְאֶֽת-אָהֳלוֹ וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לוֹ וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל עִמּוֹ וַיַּֽעֲלוּ אֹתָם עֵמֶק עָכֽוֹר׃
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
וַיָּקִימוּ עָלָיו גַּל-אֲבָנִים גָּדוֹל עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וַיָּשָׁב יְהוָה מֵֽחֲרוֹן אַפּוֹ עַל-כֵּן קָרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא עֵמֶק עָכוֹר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ הָעָם אֶת-כָּל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה אֲשֶׁר מִצְּפוֹן לָעִיר וְאֶת-עֲקֵבוֹ מִיָּם לָעִיר וַיֵּלֶךְ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא בְּתוֹךְ הָעֵֽמֶק׃
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was 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.
וְיֹֽשְׁבֵי גִבְעוֹן שָֽׁמְעוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לִֽירִיחוֹ וְלָעָֽי׃
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
וַיִּסְעוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-עָֽרֵיהֶם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְעָֽרֵיהֶם גִּבְעוֹן וְהַכְּפִירָה וּבְאֵרוֹת וְקִרְיַת יְעָרִֽים׃
And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.
וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ אֲדֹֽנִי-צֶדֶק מֶלֶךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם כִּֽי-לָכַד יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-הָעַי וַיַּֽחֲרִימָהּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לִֽירִיחוֹ וּלְמַלְכָּהּ כֵּן-עָשָׂה לָעַי וּלְמַלְכָּהּ וְכִי הִשְׁלִימוּ יֹֽשְׁבֵי גִבְעוֹן אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּֽהְיוּ בְּקִרְבָּֽם׃
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed 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;
וַיִּֽירְאוּ מְאֹד כִּי עִיר גְּדוֹלָה גִּבְעוֹן כְּאַחַת עָרֵי הַמַּמְלָכָה וְכִי הִיא גְדוֹלָה מִן-הָעַי וְכָל-אֲנָשֶׁיהָ גִּבֹּרִֽים׃
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
עֲלֽוּ-אֵלַי וְעִזְרֻנִי וְנַכֶּה אֶת-גִּבְעוֹן כִּֽי-הִשְׁלִימָה אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְאֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
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.
וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ וַֽיַּעֲלוּ חֲמֵשֶׁת׀ מַלְכֵי הָֽאֱמֹרִי מֶלֶךְ יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מֶֽלֶךְ-חֶבְרוֹן מֶֽלֶךְ-יַרְמוּת מֶֽלֶךְ-לָכִישׁ מֶֽלֶךְ-עֶגְלוֹן הֵם וְכָל-מַֽחֲנֵיהֶם וַֽיַּחֲנוּ עַל-גִּבְעוֹן וַיִּֽלָּחֲמוּ עָלֶֽיהָ׃
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 themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אַנְשֵׁי גִבְעוֹן אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל-הַֽמַּחֲנֶה הַגִּלְגָּלָה לֵאמֹר אַל-תֶּרֶף יָדֶיךָ מֵֽעֲבָדֶיךָ עֲלֵה אֵלֵינוּ מְהֵרָה וְהוֹשִׁיעָה לָּנוּ וְעָזְרֵנוּ כִּי נִקְבְּצוּ אֵלֵינוּ כָּל-מַלְכֵי הָֽאֱמֹרִי יֹֽשְׁבֵי הָהָֽר׃
And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, 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 Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
וַיְהֻמֵּם יְהוָה לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיַּכֵּם מַכָּֽה-גְדוֹלָה בְּגִבְעוֹן וַֽיִּרְדְּפֵם דֶּרֶךְ מַֽעֲלֵה בֵית-חוֹרֹן וַיַּכֵּם עַד-עֲזֵקָה וְעַד-מַקֵּדָֽה׃
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.
אָז יְדַבֵּר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לַֽיהוָה בְּיוֹם תֵּת יְהוָה אֶת-הָאֱמֹרִי לִפְנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר׀ לְעֵינֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁמֶשׁ בְּגִבְעוֹן דּוֹם וְיָרֵחַ בְּעֵמֶק אַיָּלֽוֹן׃
Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
וַיַּכֵּם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מִקָּדֵשׁ בַּרְנֵעַ וְעַד-עַזָּה וְאֵת כָּל-אֶרֶץ גֹּשֶׁן וְעַד-גִּבְעֽוֹן׃
And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
לֹֽא-הָיְתָה עִיר אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁלִימָה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּלְתִּי הַֽחִוִּי יֹֽשְׁבֵי גִבְעוֹן אֶת-הַכֹּל לָֽקְחוּ בַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
וְקִרְיָתַיִם וְשִׂבְמָה וְצֶרֶת הַשַּׁחַר בְּהַר הָעֵֽמֶק׃
And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley,
וּבָעֵמֶק בֵּית הָרָם וּבֵית נִמְרָה וְסֻכּוֹת וְצָפוֹן יֶתֶר מַמְלְכוּת סִיחוֹן מֶלֶךְ חֶשְׁבּוֹן הַיַּרְדֵּן וּגְבֻל עַד-קְצֵה יָם-כִּנֶּרֶת עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן מִזְרָֽחָה׃
And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל׀ דְּבִרָה מֵעֵמֶק עָכוֹר וְצָפוֹנָה פֹּנֶה אֶל-הַגִּלְגָּל אֲשֶׁר-נֹכַח לְמַֽעֲלֵה אֲדֻמִּים אֲשֶׁר מִנֶּגֶב לַנָּחַל וְעָבַר הַגְּבוּל אֶל-מֵי-עֵין שֶׁמֶשׁ וְהָיוּ תֹֽצְאֹתָיו אֶל-עֵין רֹגֵֽל׃
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל גֵּי בֶן-הִנֹּם אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי מִנֶּגֶב הִיא יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וְעָלָה הַגְּבוּל אֶל-רֹאשׁ הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי גֵֽי-הִנֹּם יָמָּה אֲשֶׁר בִּקְצֵה עֵֽמֶק-רְפָאִים צָפֽוֹנָה׃
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יוֹסֵף לֹֽא-יִמָּצֵא לָנוּ הָהָר וְרֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל בְּכָל-הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ-הָעֵמֶק לַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית-שְׁאָן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְלַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
וְיָרַד הַגְּבוּל אֶל-קְצֵה הָהָר אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי גֵּי בֶן-הִנֹּם אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִים צָפוֹנָה וְיָרַד גֵּי הִנֹּם אֶל-כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי נֶגְבָּה וְיָרַד עֵין רֹגֵֽל׃
And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
וְהָיוּ הֶֽעָרִים לְמַטֵּה בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן לְמִשְׁפְּחֽוֹתֵיהֶם יְרִיחוֹ וּבֵית-חָגְלָה וְעֵמֶק קְצִֽיץ׃
Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
וּמִמַּטֵּה בִנְיָמִין אֶת-גִּבְעוֹן וְאֶת-מִגְרָשֶׁהָ אֶת-גֶּבַע וְאֶת-מִגְרָשֶֽׁהָ׃
And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
וַיְהִי יְהוָה אֶת-יְהוּדָה וַיֹּרֶשׁ אֶת-הָהָר כִּי לֹא לְהוֹרִישׁ אֶת-יֹֽשְׁבֵי הָעֵמֶק כִּי-רֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל לָהֶֽם׃
And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
וַיִּלְחֲצוּ הָֽאֱמֹרִי אֶת-בְּנֵי-דָן הָהָרָה כִּי-לֹא נְתָנוֹ לָרֶדֶת לָעֵֽמֶק׃
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
וְשָׂרַי בְּיִשָּׂשכָר עִם-דְּבֹרָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר כֵּן בָּרָק בָּעֵמֶק שֻׁלַּח בְּרַגְלָיו בִּפְלַגּוֹת רְאוּבֵן גְּדֹלִים חִקְקֵי-לֵֽב׃
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
וְכָל-מִדְיָן וַֽעֲמָלֵק וּבְנֵי-קֶדֶם נֶֽאֶסְפוּ יַחְדָּו וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם יְרֻבַּעַל הוּא גִדְעוֹן וְכָל-הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ עַל-עֵין חֲרֹד וּמַֽחֲנֵה מִדְיָן הָֽיָה-לוֹ מִצָּפוֹן מִגִּבְעַת הַמּוֹרֶה בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-צֵדָה הָעָם בְּיָדָם וְאֵת שׁוֹפְרֹֽתֵיהֶם וְאֵת כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁלַּח אִישׁ לְאֹֽהָלָיו וּבִשְׁלֹשׁ-מֵאוֹת הָאִישׁ הֶֽחֱזִיק וּמַֽחֲנֵה מִדְיָן הָיָה לוֹ מִתַּחַת בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
וּמִדְיָן וַֽעֲמָלֵק וְכָל-בְּנֵי-קֶדֶם נֹֽפְלִים בָּעֵמֶק כָּֽאַרְבֶּה לָרֹב וְלִגְמַלֵּיהֶם אֵין מִסְפָּר כַּחוֹל שֶֽׁעַל-שְׂפַת הַיָּם לָרֹֽב׃
And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
וְאֵין מַצִּיל כִּי רְֽחוֹקָה-הִיא מִצִּידוֹן וְדָבָר אֵין-לָהֶם עִם-אָדָם וְהִיא בָּעֵמֶק אֲשֶׁר לְבֵית-רְחוֹב וַיִּבְנוּ אֶת-הָעִיר וַיֵּשְׁבוּ בָֽהּ׃
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
וּבֵית שֶׁמֶשׁ קֹֽצְרִים קְצִיר-חִטִּים בָּעֵמֶק וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת-עֵֽינֵיהֶם וַיִּרְאוּ אֶת-הָאָרוֹן וַֽיִּשְׂמְחוּ לִרְאֽוֹת׃
And they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
וְשָׁאוּל וְאִֽישׁ-יִשְׂרָאֵל נֶֽאֶסְפוּ וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה וַיַּֽעַרְכוּ מִלְחָמָה לִקְרַאת פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
וְשָׁאוּל וְהֵמָּה וְכָל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה נִלְחָמִים עִם-פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַכֹּהֵן חֶרֶב גָּלְיָת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי אֲשֶׁר-הִכִּיתָ׀ בְּעֵמֶק הָֽאֵלָה הִנֵּה-הִיא לוּטָה בַשִּׂמְלָה אַֽחֲרֵי הָֽאֵפוֹד אִם-אֹתָהּ תִּֽקַּח-לְךָ קָח כִּי אֵין אַחֶרֶת זֽוּלָתָהּ בָּזֶה וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֵין כָּמוֹהָ תְּנֶנָּה לִּֽי׃
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
וַיִּרְאוּ אַנְשֵֽׁי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בְּעֵבֶר הָעֵמֶק וַֽאֲשֶׁר׀ בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן כִּֽי-נָסוּ אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכִי-מֵתוּ שָׁאוּל וּבָנָיו וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-הֶֽעָרִים וַיָּנֻסוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בָּהֶֽן׃
And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
וַיֵּצֵא אַבְנֵר בֶּן-נֵר וְעַבְדֵי אִֽישׁ-בֹּשֶׁת בֶּן-שָׁאוּל מִֽמַּחֲנַיִם גִּבְעֽוֹנָה׃
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
וְיוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרוּיָה וְעַבְדֵי דָוִד יָֽצְאוּ וַֽיִּפְגְּשׁוּם עַל-בְּרֵכַת גִּבְעוֹן יַחְדָּו וַיֵּשְׁבוּ אֵלֶּה עַל-הַבְּרֵכָה מִזֶּה וְאֵלֶּה עַל-הַבְּרֵכָה מִזֶּֽה׃
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
וַֽיַּחֲזִקוּ אִישׁ׀ בְּרֹאשׁ רֵעֵהוּ וְחַרְבּוֹ בְּצַד רֵעֵהוּ וַֽיִּפְּלוּ יַחְדָּו וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא חֶלְקַת הַצֻּרִים אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
וַֽיִּרְדְּפוּ יוֹאָב וַֽאֲבִישַׁי אַֽחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וְהַשֶּׁמֶשׁ בָּאָה וְהֵמָּה בָּאוּ עַד-גִּבְעַת אַמָּה אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי-גִיחַ דֶּרֶךְ מִדְבַּר גִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
וְיוֹאָב וַֽאֲבִישַׁי אָחִיו הָֽרְגוּ לְאַבְנֵר עַל אֲשֶׁר הֵמִית אֶת-עֲשָׂהאֵל אֲחִיהֶם בְּגִבְעוֹן בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיֹּסִפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים לַֽעֲלוֹת וַיִּנָּֽטְשׁוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וְאַבְשָׁלֹם לָקַח וַיַּצֶּב-לוֹ (בחיו) בְחַיָּיו אֶת-מַצֶּבֶת אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵֽמֶק-הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי אָמַר אֵֽין-לִי בֵן בַּֽעֲבוּר הַזְכִּיר שְׁמִי וַיִּקְרָא לַמַּצֶּבֶת עַל-שְׁמוֹ וַיִּקָּרֵא לָהּ יַד אַבְשָׁלוֹם עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
הֵם עִם-הָאֶבֶן הַגְּדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעוֹן וַֽעֲמָשָׂא בָּא לִפְנֵיהֶם וְיוֹאָב חָגוּר׀ מִדּוֹ לְבֻשׁוּ (ועלו) וְעָלָיו חֲגוֹר חֶרֶב מְצֻמֶּדֶת עַל-מָתְנָיו בְּתַעְרָהּ וְהוּא יָצָא וַתִּפֹּֽל׃
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ (שלשים) שְׁלֹשָׁה מֵֽהַשְּׁלֹשִׁים רֹאשׁ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-קָצִיר אֶל-דָּוִד אֶל-מְעָרַת עֲדֻלָּם וְחַיַּת פְּלִשְׁתִּים חֹנָה בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּבְעֹנָה לִזְבֹּחַ שָׁם כִּי-הִיא הַבָּמָה הַגְּדוֹלָה אֶלֶף עֹלוֹת יַֽעֲלֶה שְׁלֹמֹה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַהֽוּא׃
And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
בְּגִבְעוֹן נִרְאָה יְהוָֹה אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה בַּֽחֲלוֹם הַלָּיְלָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים שְׁאַל מָה אֶתֶּן-לָֽךְ׃
In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
וַיֵּרָא יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה שֵׁנִית כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִרְאָה אֵלָיו בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
וַיִּגַּשׁ אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה יַעַן אֲשֶׁר אָֽמְרוּ אֲרָם אֱלֹהֵי הָרִים יְהוָה וְלֹֽא-אֱלֹהֵי עֲמָקִים הוּא וְנָֽתַתִּי אֶת-כָּל-הֶֽהָמוֹן הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה בְּיָדֶךָ וִֽידַעְתֶּם כִּֽי-אֲנִי יְהוָֽה׃
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
וּבְגִבְעוֹן יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבִי גִבְעוֹן וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ מַֽעֲכָֽה׃
And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife's name was Maachah:
וּבְגִבְעוֹן יָֽשְׁבוּ אֲבִֽי-גִבְעוֹן (יעואל) יְעִיאֵל וְשֵׁם אִשְׁתּוֹ מַֽעֲכָֽה׃
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:
וַיִּרְאוּ כָּל-אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר-בָּעֵמֶק כִּי נָסוּ וְכִי-מֵתוּ שָׁאוּל וּבָנָיו וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ עָֽרֵיהֶם וַיָּנֻסוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ בָּהֶֽם׃
And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
וַיֵּֽרְדוּ שְֽׁלוֹשָׁה מִן-הַשְּׁלוֹשִׁים רֹאשׁ עַל-הַצֻּר אֶל-דָּוִיד אֶל-מְעָרַת עֲדֻלָּם וּמַֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים חֹנָה בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
אֵלֶּה הֵם אֲשֶׁר עָֽבְרוּ אֶת-הַיַּרְדֵּן בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁוֹן וְהוּא מְמַלֵּא עַל-כָּל-(גדיתיו) גְּדוֹתָיו וַיַּבְרִיחוּ אֶת-כָּל-הָעֲמָקִים לַמִּזְרָח וְלַֽמַּעֲרָֽב׃
These are they that went over Jordan in the first month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all them of the valleys, both toward the east, and toward the west.
וּפְלִשְׁתִּים בָּאוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיֹּסִיפוּ עוֹד פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַֽיִּפְשְׁטוּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃
And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.
וַיַּעַשׂ דָּוִיד כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-מַֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּים מִגִּבְעוֹן וְעַד-גָּֽזְרָה׃
David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
וְאֵת׀ צָדוֹק הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה בַּבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
וּמִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה בַמִּדְבָּר וּמִזְבַּח הָֽעוֹלָה בָּעֵת הַהִיא בַּבָּמָה בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
וְעַל-הַבָּקָר הָֽרֹעִים בַּשָּׁרוֹן (שטרי) שִׁרְטַי הַשָּֽׁרוֹנִי וְעַל-הַבָּקָר בָּֽעֲמָקִים שָׁפָט בֶּן-עַדְלָֽי׃
And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:
וַיֵּֽלְכוּ שְׁלֹמֹה וְכָל-הַקָּהָל עִמּוֹ לַבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעוֹן כִּי-שָׁם הָיָה אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה עֶֽבֶד-יְהוָה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.
וַיָּבֹא שְׁלֹמֹה לַבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר-בְּגִבְעוֹן יְרוּשָׁלִַם מִלִּפְנֵי אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וַיִּמְלֹךְ עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.
וּבַיּוֹם הָֽרְבִעִי נִקְהֲלוּ לְעֵמֶק בְּרָכָה כִּי-שָׁם בֵּרֲכוּ אֶת-יְהוָה עַל-כֵּן קָֽרְאוּ אֶת-שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא עֵמֶק בְּרָכָה עַד-הַיּֽוֹם׃
And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
וְעַל-יָדָם הֶֽחֱזִיק מְלַטְיָה הַגִּבְעֹנִי וְיָדוֹן הַמֵּרֹנֹתִי אַנְשֵׁי גִבְעוֹן וְהַמִּצְפָּה לְכִסֵּא פַּחַת עֵבֶר הַנָּהָֽר׃
And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river.
הֲֽתִקְשָׁר-רֵים בְּתֶלֶם עֲבֹתוֹ אִם-יְשַׂדֵּד עֲמָקִים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
יַחְפְּרוּ בָעֵמֶק וְיָשִׂישׂ בְּכֹחַ יֵצֵא לִקְרַאת-נָֽשֶׁק׃
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
אֱלֹהִים׀ דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ אֶעְלֹזָה אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
לָבְשׁוּ כָרִים׀ הַצֹּאן וַעֲמָקִים יַֽעַטְפוּ-בָר יִתְרוֹעֲעוּ אַף-יָשִֽׁירוּ׃
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
עֹבְרֵי׀ בְּעֵמֶק הַבָּכָא מַעְיָן יְשִׁיתוּהוּ גַּם-בְּרָכוֹת יַעְטֶה מוֹרֶֽה׃
Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
אֱלֹהִים׀ דִּבֶּר בְּקָדְשׁוֹ אֶעְלֹזָה אֲחַלְּקָה שְׁכֶם וְעֵמֶק סֻכּוֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
אֲנִי חֲבַצֶּלֶת הַשָּׁרוֹן שֽׁוֹשַׁנַּת הָעֲמָקִֽים׃
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
וְהָיָה כֶּֽאֱסֹף קָצִיר קָמָה וּזְרֹעוֹ שִׁבֳּלִים יִקְצוֹר וְהָיָה כִּמְלַקֵּט שִׁבֳּלִים בְּעֵמֶק רְפָאִֽים׃
And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
וַיְהִי מִבְחַר-עֲמָקַיִךְ מָלְאוּ רָכֶב וְהַפָּרָשִׁים שֹׁת שָׁתוּ הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
כִּי כְהַר-פְּרָצִים יָקוּם יְהוָה כְּעֵמֶק בְּגִבְעוֹן יִרְגָּז לַעֲשׂוֹת מַעֲשֵׂהוּ זָר מַעֲשֵׂהוּ וְלַֽעֲבֹד עֲבֹדָתוֹ נָכְרִיָּה עֲבֹדָתֽוֹ׃
For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
וְהָיָה הַשָּׁרוֹן לִנְוֵה-צֹאן וְעֵמֶק עָכוֹר לְרֵבֶץ בָּקָר לְעַמִּי אֲשֶׁר דְּרָשֽׁוּנִי׃
And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
הִנְנִי אֵלַיִךְ יֹשֶׁבֶת הָעֵמֶק צוּר הַמִּישֹׁר נְאֻם-יְהוָה הָאֹֽמְרִים מִֽי-יֵחַת עָלֵינוּ וּמִי יָבוֹא בִּמְעוֹנוֹתֵֽינוּ׃
Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
וַיְהִי׀ בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא בְּרֵאשִׁית מַמְלֶכֶת צִדְקִיָּה מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה (בשנת) בַּשָּׁנָה הָֽרְבִעִית בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַחֲמִישִׁי אָמַר אֵלַי חֲנַנְיָה בֶן-עַזּוּר הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר מִגִּבְעוֹן בְּבֵית יְהוָה לְעֵינֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְכָל-הָעָם לֵאמֹֽר׃
And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
וְכָל-הָעֵמֶק הַפְּגָרִים׀ וְהַדֶּשֶׁן וְכָֽל-(השרמות) הַשְּׁדֵמוֹת עַד-נַחַל קִדְרוֹן עַד-פִּנַּת שַׁעַר הַסּוּסִים מִזְרָחָה קֹדֶשׁ לַֽיהוָה לֹֽא-יִנָּתֵשׁ וְֽלֹא-יֵהָרֵס עוֹד לְעוֹלָֽם׃
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-כָּל-הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיֵּלְכוּ לְהִלָּחֵם עִם-יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל-מַיִם רַבִּים אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
וַיִּקַּח יוֹחָנָן בֶּן-קָרֵחַ וְכָל-שָׂרֵי הַחֲיָלִים אֲשֶׁר-אִתּוֹ אֵת כָּל-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מֵאֵת יִשְׁמָעֵאל בֶּן-נְתַנְיָה מִן-הַמִּצְפָּה אַחַר הִכָּה אֶת-גְּדַלְיָה בֶּן-אֲחִיקָם גְּבָרִים אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה וְנָשִׁים וְטַף וְסָרִסִים אֲשֶׁר הֵשִׁיב מִגִּבְעֽוֹן׃
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
בָּאָה קָרְחָה אֶל-עַזָּה נִדְמְתָה אַשְׁקְלוֹן שְׁאֵרִית עִמְקָם עַד-מָתַי תִּתְגּוֹדָֽדִי׃
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
וְיָבֹא שֹׁדֵד אֶל-כָּל-עִיר וְעִיר לֹא תִמָּלֵט וְאָבַד הָעֵמֶק וְנִשְׁמַד הַמִּישֹׁר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָֽה׃
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
מַה-תִּתְהַֽלְלִי בָּֽעֲמָקִים זָב עִמְקֵךְ הַבַּת הַשּֽׁוֹבֵבָה הַבֹּֽטְחָה בְּאֹצְרֹתֶיהָ מִי יָבוֹא אֵלָֽי׃
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וְשָֽׁבַרְתִּי אֶת-קֶשֶׁת יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
וְנָתַתִּי לָהּ אֶת-כְּרָמֶיהָ מִשָּׁם וְאֶת-עֵמֶק עָכוֹר לְפֶתַח תִּקְוָה וְעָנְתָה שָּׁמָּה כִּימֵי נְעוּרֶיהָ וִּכְיוֹם עֲלוֹתָהּ מֵאֶֽרֶץ-מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶת-כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם וְהוֹרַדְתִּים אֶל-עֵמֶק יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי עִמָּם שָׁם עַל-עַמִּי וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר פִּזְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת-אַרְצִי חִלֵּֽקוּ׃
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
יֵעוֹרוּ וְיַעֲלוּ הַגּוֹיִם אֶל-עֵמֶק יְהֽוֹשָׁפָט כִּי שָׁם אֵשֵׁב לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת-כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם מִסָּבִֽיב׃
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
הֲמוֹנִים הֲמוֹנִים בְּעֵמֶק הֶֽחָרוּץ כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם יְהוָה בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרֽוּץ׃
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
וְנָמַסּוּ הֶֽהָרִים תַּחְתָּיו וְהָעֲמָקִים יִתְבַּקָּעוּ כַּדּוֹנַג מִפְּנֵי הָאֵשׁ כְּמַיִם מֻגָּרִים בְּמוֹרָֽד׃
And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
