Judah, H3063 you are he whom your brothers H251 shall praise: H3034 your hand H3027 shall be in the neck H6203 of your enemies; H341 your father's H1 children H1121 shall bow H7812 down H7812 before you.
And Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3111 was over both the Cherethites H3774 and the Pelethites; H6432 and David's H1732 sons H1121 were chief H3548 rulers.
And the princes H8269 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 said H559 to Hanun H2586 their lord, H113 Think H5869 you that David H1732 does honor H3513 your father, H1 that he has sent H7971 comforters H5162 to you? has not David H1732 rather sent H7971 his servants H5650 to you, to search H2713 the city, H5892 and to spy H7270 it out, and to overthrow H2015 it?
4
Why Hanun H2586 took H3947 David's H1732 servants, H5650 and shaved H1548 off the one half H2677 of their beards, H2206 and cut H3772 off their garments H4063 in the middle, H2677 even to their buttocks, H8357 and sent H7971 them away.
And the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came H3318 out, and put the battle H4421 in array H6186 at the entering H6607 in of the gate: H8179 and the Syrians H758 of Zoba, H6678 and of Rehob, H7340 and Ishtob, H382 and Maacah, H4601 were by themselves H905 in the field. H7704
And the rest H3499 of the people H5971 he delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of Abishai H52 his brother, H251 that he might put them in array H6186 against H7125 the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983
11
And he said, H559 If H518 the Syrians H758 be too strong H2388 for me, then you shall help H3444 me: but if H518 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 be too strong H2388 for you, then I will come H1980 and help H3467 you.
12
Be of good courage, H2388 and let us play the men H2388 for our people, H5971 and for the cities H5892 of our God: H430 and the LORD H3068 do H6213 that which seems H5869 him good. H2896
13
And Joab H3097 drew near, H5066 and the people H5971 that were with him, to the battle H4421 against the Syrians: H758 and they fled H5127 before H6440 him.
I will declare H5608 the decree: H2706 the LORD H3068 has said H559 to me, You are my Son; H1121 this day H3117 have I begotten H3205 you.
8
Ask H7592 of me, and I shall give H5415 you the heathen H1471 for your inheritance, H5159 and the uttermost H657 parts of the earth H776 for your possession. H272
9
You shall break H7489 them with a rod H7626 of iron; H1270 you shall dash H5310 them in pieces like a potter's H3335 vessel. H3627
And the LORD H3068 said H559 to her, Two H8147 nations H1471 are in your womb, H990 and two H8147 manner of people H3816 shall be separated H6504 from your bowels; H4578 and the one people H3816 shall be stronger H553 than the other people; H3816 and the elder H7227 shall serve H5647 the younger.

For Judah H3063 prevailed H1396 above his brothers, H251 and of him came the chief H5057 ruler; H5057 but the birthright H1062 was Joseph's: H3130 )
Now it came H1961 to pass, after H310 that Amaziah H558 was come H935 from the slaughter H5221 of the Edomites, H130 that he brought H935 the gods H430 of the children H1121 of Seir, H8165 and set H5975 them up to be his gods, H430 and bowed H7812 down H7812 himself before H6440 them, and burned H6999 incense H6999 to them.
Why H4069 are you red H122 in your apparel, H3830 and your garments H899 like him that treads H1869 in the winefat? H1660
3
I have trodden H1869 the wine press H6333 alone; H905 and of the people H5971 there was none H369H376 with me: for I will tread H1869 them in my anger, H639 and trample H7429 them in my fury; H2534 and their blood H5332 shall be sprinkled H5137 on my garments, H899 and I will stain H1351 all H3605 my raiment. H4403
And I looked, H5027 and there was none H369 to help; H5826 and I wondered H8074 that there was none H369 to uphold: H5564 therefore my own arm H2220 brought H3467 salvation H3467 to me; and my fury, H2534 it upheld H5564 me.
6
And I will tread H947 down the people H5971 in my anger, H639 and make them drunk H7937 in my fury, H2534 and I will bring H3381 down their strength H5332 to the earth. H776
And I will bless H1288 them that bless H1288 you, and curse H779 him that curses H7043 you: and in you shall all H3605 families H4940 of the earth H127 be blessed. H1288
I have heard H8085 the reproach H2781 of Moab, H4124 and the revilings H1421 of the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 whereby H834 they have reproached H2778 my people, H5971 and magnified H1431 themselves against H5921 their border. H1366
