This H1931 Ezra H5830 went H5927 up from Babylon; H894 and he was a ready H4106 scribe H5608 in the law H8451 of Moses, H4872 which H834 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 had given: H5414 and the king H4428 granted H5414 him all H3605 his request, H1246 according to the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 his God H430 on him.

How H349 do you say, H559 We are wise, H2450 and the law H8451 of the LORD H3068 is with us? See, H2009 certainly H403 in vain H8267 made H6213 he it; the pen H5842 of the scribes H5608 is in vain. H8267

And Jabez H3258 was more honorable H3513 than his brothers: H251 and his mother H517 called H7121 his name H8034 Jabez, H3258 saying, H559 Because H3588 I bore H3205 him with sorrow. H6090

And Jabez H3258 called H7121 on the God H430 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Oh H518 that you would bless H1288 me indeed, and enlarge H7235 my coast, H1366 and that your hand H3027 might be with me, and that you would keep H6213 me from evil, H7451 that it may not grieve H6087 me! And God H430 granted H935 him that which H834 he requested. H7592

And the children H1121 of the Kenite, H7017 Moses' H4872 father H2859 in law, H2859 went H5927 up out of the city H5892 of palm H8558 trees with the children H1121 of Judah H3063 into the wilderness H4057 of Judah, H3063 which H834 lies in the south H5045 of Arad; H6166 and they went H3212 and dwelled H3427 among H854 the people. H5971

Now Heber H2268 the Kenite, H7014 which was of the children H1121 of Hobab H2246 the father H2859 in law H2859 of Moses, H4872 had severed H6504 himself from the Kenites, H7017 and pitched H5186 his tent H168 to the plain H436 of Zaanaim, H6815 which H834 is by Kedesh. H6943

And Saul H7586 said H559 to the Kenites, H7017 Go, H3212 depart, H5493 get H3381 you down H3381 from among H8432 the Amalekites, H6003 lest H6435 I destroy H622 you with them: for you showed H6213 kindness H2617 to all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 when they came H5927 up out of Egypt. H4714 So the Kenites H7017 departed H5493 from among H8432 the Amalekites. H6003

And when he was departed H3212 there, H8033 he lighted H4672 on H854 Jehonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 coming to meet H7125 him: and he saluted H1288 him, and said H559 to him, Is your heart H3824 right, H3477 as my heart H3824 is with your heart? H3824 And Jehonadab H3082 answered, H559 It is. If it be, give H5414 me your hand. H3027 And he gave H5414 him his hand; H3027 and he took H5927 him up to him into H413 the chariot. H4818

Go H1980 to the house H1004 of the Rechabites, H7397 and speak H1696 to them, and bring H935 them into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 into H413 one H259 of the chambers, H3957 and give them wine H3196 to drink. H8248

And I brought H935 them into the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 into H413 the chamber H3957 of the sons H1121 of Hanan, H2605 the son H1121 of Igdaliah, H3012 a man H376 of God, H430 which H834 was by the chamber H3957 of the princes, H8269 which H834 was above H4605 the chamber H3957 of Maaseiah H4641 the son H1121 of Shallum, H7967 the keeper H8104 of the door: H5592

But they said, H559 We will drink H8354 no H3808 wine: H3196 for Jonadab H3122 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 commanded H6680 us, saying, H559 You shall drink H8354 no H3808 wine, H3196 neither you, nor your sons H1121 for ever: H5769

Thus have we obeyed H8085 the voice H6963 of Jonadab H3082 the son H1121 of Rechab H7394 our father H1 in all H3605 that he has charged H6680 us, to drink H8354 no H1115 wine H3196 all H3605 our days, H3117 we, our wives, H802 our sons, H1121 nor our daughters; H1323
