Destruction H7667 on destruction H7667 is cried; H7121 for the whole H3605 land H776 is spoiled: H7703 suddenly H6597 are my tents H168 spoiled, H7703 and my curtains H3407 in a moment. H7281

I have laid a snare H3369 for you, and you are also H1571 taken, H3920 O Babylon, H894 and you were not aware: H3045 you are found, H4672 and also H1571 caught, H8610 because H3588 you have striven H1624 against the LORD. H3068

And there ran H7323 a man H376 of Benjamin H1144 out of the army, H4634 and came H935 to Shiloh H7887 the same H1931 day H3117 with his clothes H4055 rent, H7167 and with earth H127 on his head. H7218

And when Eli H5941 heard H8085 the noise H6963 of the crying, H6818 he said, H559 What H4100 means the noise H6963 of this H2088 tumult? H1995 And the man H376 came H935 in hastily, H4116 and told H5046 Eli. H5941

And the man H376 said H559 to Eli, H5941 I am he that came H935 out of the army, H4634 and I fled H5127 to day H3117 out of the army. H4634 And he said, H559 What H4100 is there done, H1697 my son? H1121

And it came H1961 to pass, when he made mention H2142 of the ark H727 of God, H430 that he fell H5307 from off H5921 the seat H3678 backward H322 by the side H3027 of the gate, H8179 and his neck H4665 broke, H7665 and he died: H4191 for he was an old H2204 man, H376 and heavy. H3513 And he had judged H8199 Israel H3478 forty H705 years. H8141

Then said H559 Ahimaaz H290 the son H1121 of Zadok, H6659 Let me now H4994 run, H7323 and bear H1319 the king H4428 tidings, H1319 how that the LORD H3068 has avenged H8199 him of his enemies. H341

Then said H559 Joab H3097 to Cushi, H3569 Go H3212 tell H5046 the king H4428 what H834 you have seen. H7200 And Cushi H3569 bowed H7812 himself to Joab, H3097 and ran. H7323

But howsoever, said he, let me run. H7323 And he said H559 to him, Run. H7323 Then Ahimaaz H290 ran H7323 by the way H1870 of the plain, H3603 and overran H5674 Cushi. H3569

And the watchman H6822 cried, H7121 and told H5046 the king. H4428 And the king H4428 said, H559 If H518 he be alone, H905 there is tidings H1309 in his mouth. H6310 And he came H3212 apace, and drew near. H7126

And the watchman H6822 said, H559 Me thinks H7200 the running H4794 of the foremost H7223 is like the running H4794 of Ahimaaz H290 the son H1121 of Zadok. H6659 And the king H4428 said, H559 He is a good H2896 man, H376 and comes H935 with good H2896 tidings. H1309

And the king H4428 said, H559 Is the young H5288 man Absalom H53 safe? H7965 And Ahimaaz H290 answered, H559 When Joab H3097 sent H7971 the king's H4428 servant, H5650 and me your servant, H5650 I saw H7200 a great H1419 tumult, H1995 but I knew H3045 not what H4100 it was.

And, behold, H2009 Cushi H3569 came; H935 and Cushi H3569 said, H559 Tidings, H1319 my lord H113 the king: H4428 for the LORD H3068 has avenged H8199 you this day H3117 of all H3605 them that rose H6965 up against H5921 you.

So the posts H7323 went H3212 with the letters H107 from the king H4428 and his princes H8269 throughout all H3605 Israel H3478 and Judah, H3063 and according to the commandment H4687 of the king, H4428 saying, H559 You children H1121 of Israel, H3478 turn H7725 again H7725 to the LORD H3068 God H430 of Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3327 and Israel, H3478 and he will return H7725 to the remnant H7604 of you, that are escaped H6413 out of the hand H3709 of the kings H4428 of Assyria. H804

And the letters H5612 were sent H7971 by posts H7323 into H413 all H3605 the king's H4428 provinces, H4082 to destroy, H8045 to kill, H2026 and to cause to perish, H6 all H3605 Jews, H3064 both young H5288 and old, H2205 little H2945 children H2945 and women, H802 in one H259 day, H3117 even on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 which H1931 is the month H2320 Adar, H143 and to take the spoil H7998 of them for a prey. H962

The posts H7323 went H3318 out, being hastened H1765 by the king's H4428 commandment, H1697 and the decree H1881 was given H5414 in Shushan H7800 the palace. H1002 And the king H4428 and Haman H2001 sat H3427 down to drink; H8354 but the city H5892 Shushan H7800 was perplexed. H943

And he wrote H3789 in the king H4428 Ahasuerus' H325 name, H8034 and sealed H2856 it with the king's H4428 ring, H2885 and sent H7971 letters H5612 by posts H7323 on horseback, H5483 and riders H7392 on mules, H7409 camels, H327 and young H1121 dromedaries: H7424

So the posts H7323 that rode H7392 on mules H7409 and camels H327 went H3318 out, being hastened H926 and pressed H1765 on by the king's H4428 commandment. H1697 And the decree H1881 was given H5414 at Shushan H7800 the palace. H1002

Now my days H3117 are swifter H7043 than H4480 a post: H7323 they flee H1272 away, they see H7200 no H3808 good. H2896

The king H4428 of Babylon H894 has heard H8085 the report H8088 of them, and his hands H3027 waxed feeble: H7503 anguish H6869 took hold H2388 of him, and pangs H2427 as of a woman in travail. H3205

Therefore H5921 H3651 are my loins H4975 filled H4390 with pain: H2479 pangs H6735 have taken H270 hold H270 on me, as the pangs H6735 of a woman that travails: H3205 I was bowed H5791 down at the hearing H8085 of it; I was dismayed H926 at the seeing H7200 of it.

Prepare H6186 the table, H7979 watch H6822 in the watchtower, H6844 eat, H398 drink: H8354 arise, H6965 you princes, H8269 and anoint H4886 the shield. H4043

And he saw H7200 a chariot H7393 with a couple H6776 of horsemen, H6571 a chariot H7393 of asses, H2543 and a chariot H7393 of camels; H1581 and he listened H7181 diligently H7182 with much H7227 heed: H7182

And, behold, H2009 here H2088 comes H935 a chariot H7393 of men, H376 with a couple H6776 of horsemen. H6571 And he answered H6030 and said, H559 Babylon H894 is fallen, H5307 is fallen; H5307 and all H3605 the graven H6456 images of her gods H430 he has broken H7665 to the ground. H776

Therefore shall evil H7451 come H935 on you; you shall not know H3045 from where it rises: H7837 and mischief H1943 shall fall H5307 on you; you shall not be able H3201 to put H3722 it off: and desolation H7722 shall come H935 on you suddenly, H6597 which you shall not know. H3045

You are wearied H3811 in the multitude H7230 of your counsels. H6098 Let now H4994 the astrologers, H1895 H8064 the stargazers, H2374 3556 the monthly H2320 prognosticators, H3045 stand H5975 up, and save H3467 you from these things that shall come H935 on you.

Belshazzar, H1113 whiles he tasted H2942 the wine, H2562 commanded H560 to bring H858 the golden H1722 and silver H3702 vessels H3984 which H1768 his father H2 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 had taken H5312 out of the temple H1965 which H1768 was in Jerusalem; H3390 that the king, H4430 and his princes, H7261 his wives, H7695 and his concubines, H3904 might drink H8355 therein.

They drank H8355 wine, H2562 and praised H7624 the gods H426 of gold, H1722 and of silver, H3702 of brass, H5174 of iron, H6523 of wood, H636 and of stone. H69
