And the\nPhilistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the\nPhilistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchshua, Saul's sons.\n\nAnd the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he\nwas sore wounded of the archers. Then said Saul unto his armourbearer,\nDraw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised\ncome and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not;\nfor he was sore afraid. Therefore, Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.\nAnd when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon\nhis sword, and died with him.\n\nSo Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men,\nthat same day together.\n\nAnd when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and\nthey that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled,\nand that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled;\nand the Philistines came and dwelt in them. And it came to pass on the\nmorrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found\nSaul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa. And they cut off his\nhead, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the\nPhilistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and\namong the people. And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth and\nthey fastened his body to the wall of Beth-shan.\n\nAnd when the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard of that which the\nPhilistines had done to Saul; all the valiant men arose, and went all\nnight, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall\nof Beth-shan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there. And they took\ntheir bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven\ndays. 1 Samuel xxxi.\n\n\n\n\nTHE DEATH OF ABSALOM.\n\n\nAnd David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of\nthousands and captains of hundreds over them. And David set forth a third\npart of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the\nhand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part\nunder the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I\nwill surely go forth with you myself also.\n\nBut the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away,\nthey will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for\nus: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better\nthat thou succor us out of the city.\n\nAnd the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the\nking stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and\nby thousands. And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying,\nDeal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all\nthe people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning\nAbsalom.\n\nSo the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was\nin the wood of Ephraim; where the people of Israel were slain before the\nservants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day, of\ntwenty thousand men. For the battle was there scattered over the face of\nall the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the\nsword devoured.\n\nAnd Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and\nthe mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught\nhold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth;\nand the mule that was under him went away.\n\nAnd a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold I saw Absalom\nhanged in an oak.\n\nAnd Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him,\nand why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have\ngiven thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.\n\nAnd the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of\nsilver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the\nking's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and\nIttai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. Otherwise I\nshould have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no\nmatter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldst have set thyself\nagainst me.\n\nThen said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts\nin his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was\nyet alive in the midst of the oak. And ten young men that bare Joab's\narmor compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him. And Joab blew the\ntrumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab\nheld back the people. And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great\npit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all\nIsrael fled every one to his tent.--2 Samuel xviii, 1-17.\n\n\n\n\nDAVID MOURNING OVER ABSALOM.\n\n\nThen said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king\ntidings, how that the Lord hath avenged him of his enemies. And Joab said\nunto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear\ntidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the\nking's son is dead. Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou\nhast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. Then said Ahimaaz\nthe son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee,\nalso run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son,\nseeing that thou hast no tidings ready? But howsoever, said he let me\nrun. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain,\nand overran Cushi.\n\nAnd David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof\nover the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and\nbehold a man running alone. And the watchman cried, and told the king.\nAnd the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he\ncame apace, and drew near. And the watchman saw another man running: and\nthe watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running\nalone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. And the watchman\nsaid, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of\nAhimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh\nwith good tidings.\n\nAnd Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down\nto the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord\nthy God, which hath delivereth up the men that lifted up their hand\nagainst my lord the king. And the king said, Is the young man Absalom\nsafe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy\nservant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was. And the king\nsaid unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood\nstill.\n\nAnd, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for\nthe Lord bath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against\nthee. And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And\nCushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise\nagainst thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.\n\nAnd the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate,\nand wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son\nAbsalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!\n\nAnd it was told Joab, Behold the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.\nAnd the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people:\nfor the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.\nAnd the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people\nbeing ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.\n\nBut the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my\nson Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!--2 Samuel xviii, 19 33; xix, 1-4.\n\n\n\n\nSOLOMON\n\n\nAnd David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he\nwas come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to\nDavid. And these be the names of those that were born unto him in\nJerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, Ibhar also, and\nElishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, and Elishama, and Eliada, and\nEliphalet.--2 Samuel v. 13-16.\n\nAnd David comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay\nwith her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the\nLord loved him.--2 Samuel xii, 24.\n\nSo David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. And\nthe days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years\nreigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.\n\nThen sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was\nestablished greatly.--1 Kings ii, 10-12.\n\nAnd God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and\nlargeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. And\nSolomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east\ncountry, and all the wisdom of Egypt. For he was wiser than all men; than\nEthan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol:\nand his fame was in all nations round about. And he spake three thousand\nproverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees,\nfrom the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that\nspringeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of\ncreeping things, and of fishes. And there came of all people to hear the\nwisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his\nwisdom.--2 Kings iv, 29-34.\n\n\n\n\nTHE JUDGMENT OF SOLOMON.\n\n\nThen came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood\nbefore him.\n\nAnd the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house;\nand I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass\nthe third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered\nalso: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house,\nsave we two in the house. And this woman's child died in the night;\nbecause she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight, and took my son from\nbeside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid\nher dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my\nchild suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the\nmorning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.\n\nAnd the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is\nthy son.\n\nAnd this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and, the living is my son.\n\nThus they spake before the king.\n\nThen said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy\nson is the dead--and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and\nmy son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword.\n\nAnd they brought a sword before the king.\n\nAnd the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the\none, and half to the other.\n\nThen spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her\nbowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living\nchild, and in no wise slay it.\n\nBut the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.\n\nThen the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no\nwise slay it she is the mother thereof.\n\nAnd all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they\nfeared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do\njudgment. 1 Kings iii, 16-28.\n\n\n\n\nTHE CEDARS DESTINED FOR THE TEMPLE.\n\n\nAnd Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard\nthat they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was\never a lover of David.\n\nAnd Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how that David my father\ncould not build a house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars\nwhich were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the\nsoles of his feet. But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every\nside, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. And, behold:\nI purpose to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord\nspake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy\nthrone in thy room, he shall build a house unto my name. Now therefore\ncommand thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants\nshall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for the\nservants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that\nthere is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the\nSidonians.\n\nAnd it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he\nrejoiced greatly and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given\nunto David a wise son over this great, people. And Hiram sent to Solomon,\nsaying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I\nwill do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber\nof fir: My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and\nI will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt\nappoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt\nreceive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my\nhousehold.\n\nSo Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his\ndesire.\n\nAnd Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his\nhousehold and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram\nyear by year.\n\nAnd the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace\nbetween Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.\n\nAnd king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty\nthousand men. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by\ncourses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and\nAdoniram was over the levy. And Solomon had three score and ten thousand\nthat bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains beside\nthe chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand\nand three-hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.\nAnd the king commanded and they brought great stones, costly stones, and\nhewed stones, to lay the foundation of the' house. And Solomon's\nbuilders, and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stone-squarers; so\nthey prepared timber and stones to build the house.--1 Kings v.\n\n\n\n\nTHE PROPHET SLAIN BY A LION.\n\n\nNow there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him\nall the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words\nwhich he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.\nAnd their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen\nwhat way the man of God went, which came, from Judah. And he said unto\nhis sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the, ass: and he rode\nthereon, and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an\noak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from\nJudah? And he said, I am. Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and\neat bread. And he, said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee:\nneither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place: for it\nwas said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink\nwater there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. He said\nunto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by\nthe word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house,\nthat he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. So he went\nback with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.\n\nAnd it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord\ncame unto the prophet that brought him back: and he cried unto the man of\nGod that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou\nhast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment\nwhich the Lord thy God commanded thee, but camest back, and hast eaten\nbread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to\nthee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto\nthe sepulchre of thy fathers.\n\nAnd it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk,\nthat he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had\nbrought back.\n\nAnd when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his\ncarcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood\nby the carcass.\n\nAnd, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the\nlion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where\nthe old prophet dwelt. And when the prophet that brought him back from\nthe way heard thereof, he said, It is; the man of God, who was\ndisobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered\nhim unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the\nword of the Lord, which he spake unto him. And he spake to his sons,\nsaying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.\n\nAnd he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the\nlion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor\ntorn the ass.--2 Kings xiii, II-28.\n\n\n\n\nELIJAH DESTROYING THE MESSENGERS OF AHAZIAH.\n\n\nAnd Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in\nSamaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go,\nenquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this\ndisease.\n\nBut the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to\nmeet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not\nbecause there is not a God in Israel, that 'ye go to enquire of\nBaal-zebub the god of Ekron? Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou;\nshalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt\nsurely die. And Elijah departed.\n\nAnd when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are\nye now turned back? And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet\nus, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say\nunto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in\nIsrael, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?\ntherefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone\nup, but shalt surely die. And he said unto them, What manner of man was\nhe which came up to meet you, and told you these words? And they answered\nhim, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his\nloins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.\n\nThen the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he\nwent up to him and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake\nunto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down. And Elijah\nanswered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let\nfire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there\ncame down fire from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.\n\nAgain also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And\nhe answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said,\nCome down quickly. And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man\nof God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.\nAnd the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.\n\nAnd he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the\nthird captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before\nElijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee,\nlet my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy\nsight. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two\ncaptains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life\nnow be precious in thy sight.\n\nAnd the angel of the lord said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not\nafraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king. And he\nsaid unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast sent\nmessengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because\nthere is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt\nnot come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely\ndie.\n\nSo he died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken.--2\nKings i, 2-17.\n\n\n\n\nELIJAH'S ASCENT IN A CHARIOT OF FIRE.\n\n\nAnd it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a\nwhirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said unto\nElisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el.\nAnd Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I\nwill not leave thee. So they went down to Beth-el.\n\nAnd the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha,\nand said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master\nfrom thy head to-day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.\nAnd Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord\nhath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul\nliveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.\n\nAnd the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and\nsaid unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from\nthy head to-day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace. And\nElijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me\nto Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I\nwill not leave thee. And they two went on.\n\nAnd fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar\noff and they two stood by Jordan.\n\nAnd Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the\nwaters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went\nover on dry ground.\n\nAnd it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto\nElisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee.\nAnd Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon\nme. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see\nme when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it\nshall not be so.\n\nAnd it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold,\nthere appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them\nboth asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.--2 Kings ii,\nI-II.\n\n\n\n\nTHE DEATH OF JEZEBEL.\n\n\nAnd when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted\nher face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu\nentered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?\n\nAnd he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side?\nwho? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw\nher down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on\nthe wall, and on the horses and he trod her under foot. And when he was\ncome in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman,\nand bury her: for she is a king's daughter. And they went to bury her:\nbut they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms\nof her hands. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This\nis the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the\nTishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of\nJezebel: and the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the\nfield in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is\nJezebel.--2 Kings ix, 30-37.\n\n\n\n\nESTHER CONFOUNDING HAMAN.\n\n\nSo the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.\n\nAnd the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of\nwine What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee:\nand what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of\nthe kingdom.\n\nThen Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy\nsight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my\npetition, and my people at my request: for we are sold, I and my people,\nto be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for\nbondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue although the enemy could not\ncountervail the king's damage.\n\nThen the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is\nhe, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?\n\nAnd Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman.\n\nThen, Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. And the king\narising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace\ngarden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the\nqueen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.\n\nThen the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the\nbanquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was.\nThen said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house?\n\nAs the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. And\nHarbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the\ngallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had\nspoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king\nsaid, Hang him thereon.\n\nSo they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai.\nThen was the king's wrath pacified.--Esther vii.","title":"The Dor\u00e9 Bible Gallery, Volume 4","tradition":"scripture-revelation","translated_text":null,"word_count":4933}
