    The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of
    me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the
    LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a
    winepress. And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from
    being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa
    destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook But the high places
    were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD
    all his days. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped
    with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. Arise, shine; for
    thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

    Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
    And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and
    Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns
    of the wilderness and with briers. So he went another way, and
    returned not by the way that he came to Now there dwelt an old
    prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that
    the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had
    spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

    He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. And the
    magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon
    the land of Egypt. These are the generations of Jacob. And king
    David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full
    price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor
    offer burnt offerings without cost. And I will multiply the fruit of
    the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no
    more reproach of famine among the heathen. I will not do this thing.
    Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the
    matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have
    finished the thing this day. And know ye this day: for I speak not
    with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand,
    and his stretched out arm, And his miracles, and his acts, which he
    did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto
    all his land; And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their
    horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea
    to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath
    destroyed them unto this day; And what he did unto you in the
    wilderness, until ye came into this place; And what he did unto
    Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the
    earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households,
    and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession,
    in the midst of all Israel: But your eyes have seen all the great
    acts of the LORD which he did.

    I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him
    again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Selah.
    And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of
    Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that
    there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the
    worshippers of Baal only. Nevertheless the king's word prevailed
    against Joab. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise:
    and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be
    that, as I do, so shall ye do.

    And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he
    took away the high places and groves out of Also in the third year
    of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to
    Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to
    teach in the cities of And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah,
    and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and
    Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and
    with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. There was also a lot for
    the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit,
    for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because
    he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. An Ammonite
    or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even
    to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation
    of the LORD for ever: Because they met you not with bread and with
    water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they
    hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia,
    to curse thee. If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then
    will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill
    him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us. Behold, I will
    stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and
    as for gold, they shall not delight in it. And Jehoshaphat said unto
    the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to
    day. And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and
    open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen. But this is a
    people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and
    they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none
    delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
