27

And he saidh559h8799, If the LORDh3068 do not helph3467h8686 thee, whenceh370 shall I helph3467h8686 thee? out of the barnfloorh1637, or out of the winepressh3342? If...: or, Let not the LORD save thee

28

And the kingh4428 saidh559h8799 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answeredh559h8799, This womanh802 saidh559h8804 unto me, Giveh5414h8798 thy sonh1121, that we may eath398h8799 him to dayh3117, and we will eath398h8799 my sonh1121 to morrowh4279.

29

So we boiledh1310h8762 my sonh1121, and did eath398h8799 him: and I saidh559h8799 unto her on the nexth312 dayh3117, Giveh5414h8798 thy sonh1121, that we may eath398h8799 him: and she hath hidh2244h8686 her sonh1121. next: Heb. other

And it came to pass, when the kingh4428 heardh8085h8800 the wordsh1697 of the womanh802, that he renth7167h8799 his clothesh899; and he passed byh5674h8802 upon the wallh2346, and the peopleh5971 lookedh7200h8799, and, behold, he had sackclothh8242 withinh1004 upon his fleshh1320.

31

Then he saidh559h8799, Godh430 doh6213h8799 so and moreh3254h8686 also to me, if the headh7218 of Elishah477 the sonh1121 of Shaphath8202 shall standh5975h8799 on him this dayh3117.

32

But Elishah477 sath3427h8802 in his househ1004, and the eldersh2205 sath3427h8802 with him; and the king senth7971h8799 a manh376 from beforeh6440 him: but ere the messengerh4397 cameh935h8799 to him, he saidh559h8804 to the eldersh2205, Seeh7200h8804 ye how this sonh1121 of a murdererh7523h8764 hath senth7971h8804 to take awayh5493h8687 mine headh7218? lookh7200h8798, when the messengerh4397 comethh935h8800, shuth5462h8798 the doorh1817, and hold him fasth3905h8804 at the doorh1817: is not the soundh6963 of his master'sh113 feeth7272 behindh310 him?

33

And while he yet talkedh1696h8764 with them, behold, the messengerh4397 came downh3381h8802 unto him: and he saidh559h8799, Behold, this evilh7451 is of the LORDh3068; what should I waith3176h8686 for the LORDh3068 any longer?
