He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gath-hepher.

For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
וַיְחַפְּאוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא-כֵן עַל-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיִּבְנוּ לָהֶם בָּמוֹת בְּכָל-עָרֵיהֶם מִמִּגְדַּל נֽוֹצְרִים עַד-עִיר מִבְצָֽר׃

וְלֹא שָׁמֵעוּ וַיַּקְשׁוּ אֶת-עָרְפָּם כְּעֹרֶף אֲבוֹתָם אֲשֶׁר לֹא הֶֽאֱמִינוּ בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶֽם׃
Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
וַיַּֽעַזְבוּ אֶת-כָּל-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ לָהֶם מַסֵּכָה (שנים) שְׁנֵי עֲגָלִים וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ אֲשֵׁירָה וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְכָל-צְבָא הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּֽעַבְדוּ אֶת-הַבָּֽעַל׃
And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
גַּם-יְהוּדָה לֹא שָׁמַר אֶת-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיֵּלְכוּ בְּחֻקּוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר עָשֽׂוּ׃
Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לְמֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לֵאמֹר הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הִגְלִיתָ וַתּוֹשֶׁב בְּעָרֵי שֹֽׁמְרוֹן לֹא יָֽדְעוּ אֶת-מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָרֶץ וַיְשַׁלַּח-בָּם אֶת-הָֽאֲרָיוֹת וְהִנָּם מְמִיתִים אוֹתָם כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אֵינָם יֹֽדְעִים אֶת-מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
וַיְצַו מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר לֵאמֹר הֹלִיכוּ שָׁמָּה אֶחָד מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הִגְלִיתֶם מִשָּׁם וְיֵֽלְכוּ וְיֵשְׁבוּ שָׁם וְיֹרֵם אֶת-מִשְׁפַּט אֱלֹהֵי הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ עֹשִׂים גּוֹי גּוֹי אֱלֹהָיו וַיַּנִּיחוּ׀ בְּבֵית הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ הַשֹּׁמְרֹנִים גּוֹי גּוֹי בְּעָרֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר הֵם יֹֽשְׁבִים שָֽׁם׃
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
וְהָֽעַוִּים עָשׂוּ נִבְחַז וְאֶת-תַּרְתָּק וְהַֽסְפַרְוִים שֹֽׂרְפִים אֶת-בְּנֵיהֶם בָּאֵשׁ לְאַדְרַמֶּלֶךְ וַֽעֲנַמֶּלֶךְ (אלה) אֱלֹהֵי (ספרים) סְפַרְוָֽיִם׃
And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
אֶת-יְהוָה הָיוּ יְרֵאִים וְאֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם הָיוּ עֹֽבְדִים כְּמִשְׁפַּט הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר-הִגְלוּ אֹתָם מִשָּֽׁם׃
They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
וַיִּכְרֹת יְהוָה אִתָּם בְּרִית וַיְצַוֵּם לֵאמֹר לֹא תִֽירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְלֹֽא-תִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם וְלֹא תַֽעַבְדוּם וְלֹא תִזְבְּחוּ לָהֶֽם׃
With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
וְאֶת-הַֽחֻקִּים וְאֶת-הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים וְהַתּוֹרָה וְהַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר כָּתַב לָכֶם תִּשְׁמְרוּן לַֽעֲשׂוֹת כָּל-הַיָּמִים וְלֹא תִֽירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
וְהַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר-כָּרַתִּי אִתְּכֶם לֹא תִשְׁכָּחוּ וְלֹא תִֽירְאוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
כִּי אִֽם-אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם תִּירָאוּ וְהוּא יַצִּיל אֶתְכֶם מִיַּד כָּל-אֹֽיְבֵיכֶֽם׃
But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
בַּֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּטָח וְאַֽחֲרָיו לֹֽא-הָיָה כָמֹהוּ בְּכֹל מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וַֽאֲשֶׁר הָיוּ לְפָנָֽיו׃
He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
עַל׀ אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיַּֽעַבְרוּ אֶת-בְּרִיתוֹ אֵת כָּל-אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד יְהוָה וְלֹא שָֽׁמְעוּ וְלֹא עָשֽׂוּ׃
Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
וְכִֽי-תֹאמְרוּן אֵלַי אֶל-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בָּטָחְנוּ הֲלוֹא-הוּא אֲשֶׁר הֵסִיר חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶת-בָּֽמֹתָיו וְאֶת-מִזְבְּחֹתָיו וַיֹּאמֶר לִֽיהוּדָה וְלִירוּשָׁלִַם לִפְנֵי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַזֶּה תִּֽשְׁתַּחֲווּ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
הַֽהַצֵּל הִצִּילוּ אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם אִישׁ אֶת-אַרְצוֹ מִיַּד מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי חֲמָת וְאַרְפָּד אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵי סְפַרְוַיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּה כִּֽי-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-שֹֽׁמְרוֹן מִיָּדִֽי׃
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
מִי בְּכָל-אֱלֹהֵי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֲשֶׁר-הִצִּילוּ אֶת-אַרְצָם מִיָּדִי כִּֽי-יַצִּיל יְהוָה אֶת-יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם מִיָּדִֽי׃
Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
אוּלַי יִשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֵת׀ כָּל-דִּבְרֵי רַב-שָׁקֵה אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר׀ אֲדֹנָיו לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חַי וְהוֹכִיחַ בַּדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְנָשָׂאתָ תְפִלָּה בְּעַד הַשְּׁאֵרִית הַנִּמְצָאָֽה׃
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
כֹּה תֹֽאמְרוּן אֶל-חִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶֽלֶךְ-יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר אַל-יַשִּֽׁאֲךָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה בֹּטֵחַ בּוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹא תִנָּתֵן יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אַשּֽׁוּר׃
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
הַֽהִצִּילוּ אֹתָם אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר שִֽׁחֲתוּ אֲבוֹתַי אֶת-גּוֹזָן וְאֶת-חָרָן וְרֶצֶף וּבְנֵי-עֶדֶן אֲשֶׁר בִּתְלַאשָּֽׂר׃
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?
וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל חִזְקִיָּהוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים אַתָּה-הוּא הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְבַדְּךָ לְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ אֶת-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
הַטֵּה יְהוָה׀ אָזְנְךָ וּֽשֲׁמָע פְּקַח יְהוָה עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה וּשְׁמַע אֵת דִּבְרֵי סַנְחֵרִיב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חָֽי׃
LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
וְנָֽתְנוּ אֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם בָּאֵשׁ כִּי לֹא אֱלֹהִים הֵמָּה כִּי אִם-מַֽעֲשֵׂה יְדֵֽי-אָדָם עֵץ וָאֶבֶן וַֽיְאַבְּדֽוּם׃
And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הֽוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ נָא מִיָּדוֹ וְיֵֽדְעוּ כָּל-מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ כִּי אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים לְבַדֶּֽךָ׃
Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן-אָמוֹץ אֶל-חִזְקִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הִתְפַּלַּלְתָּ אֵלַי אֶל-סַנְחֵרִב מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר שָׁמָֽעְתִּי׃
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
וַיְהִי הוּא מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֶה בֵּית׀ נִסְרֹךְ אֱלֹהָיו וְֽאַדְרַמֶּלֶךְ וְשַׂרְאֶצֶר בָּנָיו הִכֻּהוּ בַחֶרֶב וְהֵמָּה נִמְלְטוּ אֶרֶץ אֲרָרָט וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֵֽסַר-חַדֹּן בְּנוֹ תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
שׁוּב וְאָֽמַרְתָּ אֶל-חִזְקִיָּהוּ נְגִיד-עַמִּי כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי דָּוִד אָבִיךָ שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶת-תְּפִלָּתֶךָ רָאִיתִי אֶת-דִּמְעָתֶךָ הִנְנִי רֹפֶא לָךְ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי תַּֽעֲלֶה בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
לָכֵן כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הִנְנִי מֵבִיא רָעָה עַל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וִֽיהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר כָּל-(שמעיו) שֹׁמְעָהּ תִּצַּלְנָה שְׁתֵּי אָזְנָֽיו׃
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
וַיַּֽעֲזֹב אֶת-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹתָיו וְלֹא הָלַךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ יְהוָֽה׃
And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
וַתֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אִמְרוּ לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-שָׁלַח אֶתְכֶם אֵלָֽי׃
And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
תַּחַת׀ אֲשֶׁר עֲזָבוּנִי וַֽיְקַטְּרוּ לֵֽאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לְמַעַן הַכְעִיסֵנִי בְּכֹל מַֽעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיהֶם וְנִצְּתָה חֲמָתִי בַּמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְלֹא תִכְבֶּֽה׃
Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אֶתְכֶם לִדְרֹשׁ אֶת-יְהוָה כֹּה תֹֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּֽה-אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָֽעְתָּ׃
But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
וַיִּפֶן יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וַיַּרְא אֶת-הַקְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר-שָׁם בָּהָר וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיִּקַּח אֶת-הָֽעֲצָמוֹת מִן-הַקְּבָרִים וַיִּשְׂרֹף עַל-הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַֽיְטַמְּאֵהוּ כִּדְבַר יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר קָרָא אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר קָרָא אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵֽלֶּה׃
And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
וַיֹּאמֶר מָה הַצִּיּוּן הַלָּז אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי רֹאֶה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אַנְשֵׁי הָעִיר הַקֶּבֶר אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר-בָּא מִֽיהוּדָה וַיִּקְרָא אֶת-הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ עַל הַמִּזְבַּח בֵּֽית-אֵֽל׃
Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.
וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-כָּל-הָעָם לֵאמֹר עֲשׂוּ פֶסַח לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם כַּכָּתוּב עַל סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַזֶּֽה׃
And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
וַיִּקְרָא יַעְבֵּץ לֵֽאלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אִם-בָּרֵךְ תְּבָרֲכֵנִי וְהִרְבִּיתָ אֶת-גְּבוּלִי וְהָֽיְתָה יָֽדְךָ עִמִּי וְעָשִׂיתָ מֵּֽרָעָה לְבִלְתִּי עָצְבִּי וַיָּבֵא אֱלֹהִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר-שָׁאָֽל׃
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
וַיֵּעָֽזְרוּ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיִּנָּֽתְנוּ בְיָדָם הַֽהַגְרִיאִים וְכֹל שֶׁעִמָּהֶם כִּי לֵֽאלֹהִים זָֽעֲקוּ בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְנַעְתּוֹר לָהֶם כִּי-בָטְחוּ בֽוֹ׃
And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
כִּֽי-חֲלָלִים רַבִּים נָפָלוּ כִּי מֵהָֽאֱלֹהִים הַמִּלְחָמָה וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ תַחְתֵּיהֶם עַד-הַגֹּלָֽה׃
For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
וַיִּֽמְעֲלוּ בֵּֽאלֹהֵי אֲבֹתֵיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ אַֽחֲרֵי אֱלֹהֵי עַמֵּי-הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר-הִשְׁמִיד אֱלֹהִים מִפְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
וַיָּעַר אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-רוּחַ׀ פּוּל מֶֽלֶךְ-אַשּׁוּר וְאֶת-רוּחַ תִּלְּגַת פִּלְנֶסֶר מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר וַיַּגְלֵם לָרֽאוּבֵנִי וְלַגָּדִי וְלַֽחֲצִי שֵׁבֶט מְנַשֶּׁה וַיְבִיאֵם לַחְלַח וְחָבוֹר וְהָרָא וּנְהַר גּוֹזָן עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם נְתוּנִים לְכָל-עֲבוֹדַת מִשְׁכַּן בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
Their brethren also the Levites were appointed unto all manner of service of the tabernacle of the house of God.
וְֽאַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו מַקְטִירִים עַל-מִזְבַּח הָֽעוֹלָה וְעַל-מִזְבַּח הַקְּטֹרֶת לְכֹל מְלֶאכֶת קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים וּלְכַפֵּר עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering, and on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded.
וַֽעֲזַרְיָה בֶן-חִלְקִיָּה בֶּן-מְשֻׁלָּם בֶּן-צָדוֹק בֶּן-מְרָיוֹת בֶּן-אֲחִיטוּב נְגִיד בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
וַֽאֲחֵיהֶם רָאשִׁים לְבֵית אֲבוֹתָם אֶלֶף וּשְׁבַע מֵאוֹת וְשִׁשִּׁים גִּבּוֹרֵי חֵיל מְלֶאכֶת עֲבוֹדַת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
כִּי בֶֽאֱמוּנָה הֵמָּה אַרְבַּעַת גִּבֹּרֵי הַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים הֵם הַלְוִיִּם וְהָיוּ עַל-הַלְּשָׁכוֹת וְעַל הָאֹֽצְרוֹת בֵּית הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office, and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
וּסְבִיבוֹת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִים יָלִינוּ כִּֽי-עֲלֵיהֶם מִשְׁמֶרֶת וְהֵם עַל-הַמַּפְתֵּחַ וְלַבֹּקֶר לַבֹּֽקֶר׃
And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.
וַיָּשִׂימוּ אֶת-כֵּלָיו בֵּית אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וְאֶת-גֻּלְגָּלְתּוֹ תָֽקְעוּ בֵּית דָּגֽוֹן׃
And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
גַּם-תְּמוֹל גַּם-שִׁלְשׁוֹם גַּם בִּֽהְיוֹת שָׁאוּל מֶלֶךְ אַתָּה הַמּוֹצִיא וְהַמֵּבִיא אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ אַתָּה תִרְעֶה אֶת-עַמִּי אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַתָּה תִּֽהְיֶה נָגִיד עַל עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.
וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לִּי מֵֽאֱלֹהַי מֵֽעֲשׂוֹת זֹאת הֲדַם הָֽאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה אֶשְׁתֶּה בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם כִּי בְנַפְשׁוֹתָם הֱבִיאוּם וְלֹא אָבָה לִשְׁתּוֹתָם אֵלֶּה עָשׂוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הַגִּבּוֹרִֽים׃
And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
אִיתַי בֶּן-רִיבַי מִגִּבְעַת בְּנֵי בִנְיָמִן בְּנָיָה הַפִּרְעָֽתֹנִֽי׃
Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,
וַיֵּצֵא דָוִיד לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אִם-לְשָׁלוֹם בָּאתֶם אֵלַי לְעָזְרֵנִי יִֽהְיֶה-לִּי עֲלֵיכֶם לֵבָב לְיָחַד וְאִֽם-לְרַמּוֹתַנִי לְצָרַי בְּלֹא חָמָס בְּכַפַּי יֵרֶא אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ וְיוֹכַֽח׃
And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you: but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies, seeing there is no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look thereon, and rebuke it.
וְרוּחַ לָֽבְשָׁה אֶת-עֲמָשַׂי רֹאשׁ (השלושים) הַשָּׁלִישִׁים לְךָ דָוִיד וְעִמְּךָ בֶן-יִשַׁי שָׁלוֹם׀ שָׁלוֹם לְךָ וְשָׁלוֹם לְעֹזְרֶךָ כִּי עֲזָֽרְךָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ וַיְקַבְּלֵם דָּוִיד וַֽיִּתְּנֵם בְּרָאשֵׁי הַגְּדֽוּד׃
Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.
כִּי לְעֶת-יוֹם בְּיוֹם יָבֹאוּ עַל-דָּוִיד לְעָזְרוֹ עַד-לְמַֽחֲנֶה גָדוֹל כְּמַֽחֲנֵה אֱלֹהִֽים׃
For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְכֹל׀ קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם-עֲלֵיכֶם טוֹב וּמִן-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִפְרְצָה נִשְׁלְחָה עַל-אַחֵינוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בְּכֹל אַרְצוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעִמָּהֶם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם בְּעָרֵי מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶם וְיִקָּֽבְצוּ אֵלֵֽינוּ׃
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
וְנָסֵבָּה אֶת-אֲרוֹן אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֵלֵינוּ כִּי-לֹא דְרַשְׁנֻהוּ בִּימֵי שָׁאֽוּל׃
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-שִׁיחוֹר מִצְרַיִם וְעַד-לְבוֹא חֲמָת לְהָבִיא אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִקִּרְיַת יְעָרִֽים׃
So David gathered together, all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
וַיַּעַל דָּוִיד וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּֽעֲלָתָה אֶל-קִרְיַת יְעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לִֽיהוּדָה לְהַֽעֲלוֹת מִשָּׁם אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים׀ יְהוָה יוֹשֵׁב הַכְּרוּבִים אֲשֶׁר-נִקְרָא שֵֽׁם׃
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
וַיַּרְכִּיבוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עַל-עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה מִבֵּית אֲבִֽינָדָב וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיוֹ נֹֽהֲגִים בָּֽעֲגָלָֽה׃
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
וְדָוִיד וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מְשַֽׂחֲקִים לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִים בְּכָל-עֹז וּבְשִׁירִים וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת וּבִנְבָלִים וּבְתֻפִּים וּבִמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבַחֲצֹֽצְרֽוֹת׃
And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
וַיִּֽחַר-אַף יְהוָה בְּעֻזָּא וַיַּכֵּהוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר-שָׁלַח יָדוֹ עַל-הָֽאָרוֹן וַיָּמָת שָׁם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִֽים׃
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
וַיִּירָא דָוִיד אֶת-הָאֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹר הֵיךְ אָבִיא אֵלַי אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
וַיֵּשֶׁב אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים עִם-בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם בְּבֵיתוֹ שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת-בֵּית עֹבֵֽד-אֱדֹם וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-לֽוֹ׃
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
וַיִּשְׁאַל דָּוִיד בֵּֽאלֹהִים לֵאמֹר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה עַל-(פלשתיים) פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּנְתַתָּם בְּיָדִי וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יְהוָה עֲלֵה וּנְתַתִּים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃
And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ בְּבַֽעַל-פְּרָצִים וַיַּכֵּם שָׁם דָּוִיד וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד פָּרַץ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-אֽוֹיְבַי בְּיָדִי כְּפֶרֶץ מָיִם עַל-כֵּן קָרְאוּ שֵֽׁם-הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא בַּעַל פְּרָצִֽים׃
So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
וַיַּעַזְבוּ שָׁם אֶת-אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד וַיִּשָּֽׂרְפוּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃
And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
וַיִּשְׁאַל עוֹד דָּוִיד בֵּֽאלֹהִים וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ הָֽאֱלֹהִים לֹא תַֽעֲלֶה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶם הָסֵב מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶם וּבָאתָ לָהֶם מִמּוּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃
Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
וִיהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ אֶת-קוֹל הַצְּעָדָה בְּרָאשֵׁי הַבְּכָאִים אָז תֵּצֵא בַמִּלְחָמָה כִּֽי-יָצָא הָֽאֱלֹהִים לְפָנֶיךָ לְהַכּוֹת אֶת-מַֽחֲנֵה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃
And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
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.
וַיַּֽעַשׂ-לוֹ בָתִּים בְּעִיר דָּוִיד וַיָּכֶן מָקוֹם לַֽאֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּט-לוֹ אֹֽהֶל׃
And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
אָז אָמַר דָּוִיד לֹא לָשֵׂאת אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים כִּי אִם-הַלְוִיִּם כִּי-בָם׀ בָּחַר יְהוָה לָשֵׂאת אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה וּֽלְשָׁרְתוֹ עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃
Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of GOD, and to minister unto him for ever.
וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אַתֶּם רָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ אַתֶּם וַֽאֲחֵיכֶם וְהַֽעֲלִיתֶם אֵת אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-הֲכִינוֹתִי לֽוֹ׃
And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.
כִּי לְמַ בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה לֹא אַתֶּם פָּרַץ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בָּנוּ כִּי-לֹא דְרַשְׁנֻהוּ כַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.
וַיִּֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם לְהַֽעֲלוֹת אֶת-אֲרוֹן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
וַיִּשְׂאוּ בְנֵֽי-הַלְוִיִּם אֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה כִּדְבַר יְהוָה בִּכְתֵפָם בַּמֹּטוֹת עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.
וּשְׁבַנְיָהוּ וְיֽוֹשָׁפָט וּנְתַנְאֵל וַֽעֲמָשַׂי וּזְכַרְיָהוּ וּבְנָיָהוּ וֶֽאֱלִיעֶזֶר הַכֹּהֲנִים (מחצצרים) מַחְצְרִים בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִֽיחִיָּה שֹֽׁעֲרִים לָֽאָרֽוֹן׃
And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.
וַֽיְהִי בֶּעְזֹר הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶת-הַלְוִיִּם נֹֽשְׂאֵי אֲרוֹן בְּרִית-יְהוָה וַיִּזְבְּחוּ שִׁבְעָֽה-פָרִים וְשִׁבְעָה אֵילִֽים׃
And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתוֹ בְּתוֹךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָֽטָה-לוֹ דָּוִיד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ עֹלוֹת וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
