So the king summoned the Gibeonites. They were not part of Israel but were all that was left of the nation of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul, in his zeal for Israel and Judah, had tried to wipe them out.

原来这基遍人不是以色列人，乃是亚摩利人中所剩的；以色列人曾向他们起誓，不杀灭他们，扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心，想要杀灭他们。大卫王召了他们来，

大卫王召了基遍人来，跟他们说话。基遍人不是以色列人，而是亚摩利人中所剩下的人。以色列人曾向他们起誓，扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人大发热心，追杀他们，为了要消灭他们。

原来基遍人不是以色列人，他们是亚摩利人的遗民。以色列人曾起誓不伤害他们，但扫罗为以色列人和犹大人发热心，试图铲除基遍人。大卫就召来基遍人，

原来基遍人不是以色列人，而是亚摩利人中余剩的后人。以色列人曾经起誓与他们立约，但扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心，设法要击杀他们。王把基遍人召了来，对他们说话。

大衛王召了基遍人來，跟他們說話。基遍人不是以色列人，而是亞摩利人中所剩下的人。以色列人曾向他們起誓，掃羅卻為以色列人和猶大人大發熱心，追殺他們，為了要消滅他們。

基遍人原來不是以色列人，乃是亞摩利人中剩下來的；以色列人曾經和他們有誓約；掃羅卻對以色列人和猶大人生了妒愛熱情，想法子要擊殺基遍人。大衛王把基遍人召了來，問他們說：

The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.( Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.)

The people of Gibeon weren’t a part of Israel. Instead, they were some of the Amorites who were still left alive. The Israelites had promised to spare them. But Saul had tried to put an end to them. That’s because he wanted to make Israel and Judah strong. So now King David sent for the people of Gibeon and spoke to them.

So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the people of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. Although the people of Israel had sworn to spare them, Saul had sought to strike them down in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.

The Gibeonites were not Israelites but rather a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but Saul had tried to kill them in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah. So David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.

So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them( now the Gibeonites were not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the sons of Israel had made a covenant with them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah).

So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; the children of Israel had sworn protection to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.

And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them( now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

The Gibeonites were not Israelites but rather a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but Saul had tried to kill them in his zeal for the Israelites and Judah. So David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them.

And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them;( now the Gibeonites[ were] not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

So the king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke with them.( Now the Gibeonites were not descendants of Israel; they were a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had made a promise to them, but Saul tried to kill them because of his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.)

The king called the Gibeonites, and said to them( now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, and the children of Israel had sworn to them; and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

After four generations your descendants will return here to this land, for the sins of the Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction.”

But when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,they resorted to deception to save themselves. They sent ambassadors to Joshua, loading their donkeys with weathered saddlebags and old, patched wineskins.They put on worn out, patched sandals and ragged clothes. And the bread they took with them was dry and moldy.When they arrived at the camp of Israel at Gilgal, they told Joshua and the men of Israel,“ We have come from a distant land to ask you to make a peace treaty with us.”The Israelites replied to these Hivites,“ How do we know you don’t live nearby? For if you do, we cannot make a treaty with you.”They replied,“ We are your servants.”“ But who are you?” Joshua demanded.“ Where do you come from?”They answered,“ Your servants have come from a very distant country. We have heard of the might of the Lord your God and of all he did in Egypt.We have also heard what he did to the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River— King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan( who lived in Ashtaroth).So our elders and all our people instructed us,‘ Take supplies for a long journey. Go meet with the people of Israel and tell them,“ We are your servants; please make a treaty with us.”’“ This bread was hot from the ovens when we left our homes. But now, as you can see, it is dry and moldy.These wineskins were new when we filled them, but now they are old and split open. And our clothing and sandals are worn out from our very long journey.”So the Israelites examined their food, but they did not consult the Lord.Then Joshua made a peace treaty with them and guaranteed their safety, and the leaders of the community ratified their agreement with a binding oath.Three days after making the treaty, they learned that these people actually lived nearby!The Israelites set out at once to investigate and reached their towns in three days. The names of these towns were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath jearim.But the Israelites did not attack the towns, for the Israelite leaders had made a vow to them in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. The people of Israel grumbled against their leaders because of the treaty.But the leaders replied,“ Since we have sworn an oath in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel, we cannot touch them.This is what we must do. We must let them live, for divine anger would come upon us if we broke our oath.Let them live.” So they made them woodcutters and water carriers for the entire community, as the Israelite leaders directed.

Those false teachers are so eager to win your favor, but their intentions are not good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay attention only to them.

For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God.

Then Jehu said,“ Now come with me, and see how devoted I am to the Lord.” So Jehonadab rode along with him.

“ You must destroy all the nations the Lord your God hands over to you. Show them no mercy, and do not worship their gods, or they will trap you.

“ Yes, Jonathan,” Saul said,“ you must die! May God strike me and even kill me if you do not die for this.”

When James and John saw this, they said to Jesus,“ Lord, should we call down fire from heaven to burn them up?”But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

He captured Agag, the Amalekite king, but completely destroyed everyone else.Saul and his men spared Agag’s life and kept the best of the sheep and goats, the cattle, the fat calves, and the lambs— everything, in fact, that appealed to them. They destroyed only what was worthless or of poor quality.

But Jehu did not obey the Law of the Lord, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He refused to turn from the sins that Jeroboam had led Israel to commit.

I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal.
