The king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said to them,“ See how this man is looking for trouble! When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him.”

The king of Israel sent for all the elders of the land. He said to them,“ This man is really looking for trouble! He sent for my wives and children. He sent for my silver and gold. And I agreed to give them to him.”

Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said,“ Mark, now, and see how this man is seeking trouble, for he sent to me for my wives and my children, and for my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him.”

Then Ahab summoned all the elders of the land and said to them,“ Look how this man is stirring up trouble! I already agreed with his demand that I give him my wives and children and silver and gold.”

Then the king of Israel called for all the elders of the land and said,“ Recognize that this one is only looking for trouble, for he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I didn’t turn him down.”

So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said,“ Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him.”

Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

Then the king of Israel called for all the elders of the land and said,“ Think it over and you will see that this one is only looking for trouble, for he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, and I didn’t turn him down.”

Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this[ man] seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

The king of Israel summoned all the leaders of the land and said,“ Notice how this man is looking for trouble. Indeed, he demanded my wives, sons, silver, and gold, and I did not resist him.”

Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said,“ Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”

But when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said,“ Am I God, to kill and to keep alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me.”

He plans wickedness on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject evil.

Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars.

For their minds plot violence, And their lips talk of trouble.

“ Their throat is an open grave, With their tongues they keep deceiving,”“ The venom of asps is under their lips”;“ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”;“ Their feet are swift to shed blood,Destruction and misery are in their paths,And they have not known the way of peace.”“ There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice, And he conceives harm and gives birth to lies.

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the leaders of the fathers’ households of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the city of David, that is, Zion.

As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and they will speak lies to each other at the same table; but it will not succeed, because the end is still to come at the appointed time.

Who, with perversion in his heart, continually devises evil, Who spreads strife.

They conceive harm and give birth to wrongdoing, And their mind prepares deception.”

How long will you attack a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

Then David consulted with the captains of the thousands and the hundreds, with every leader.

Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in an abundance of counselors there is victory.

Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the leaders of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, with the officials and the mighty men, all the valiant warriors.

One who diligently seeks good seeks favor, But one who seeks evil, evil will come to him.
