There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

At first, all the people served him when he became king. But those who came later weren’t pleased with the way he was ruling. That doesn’t have any meaning either. It’s like chasing the wind.

There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Endless crowds stand around him, but then another generation grows up and rejects him, too. So it is all meaningless— like chasing the wind.

There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them. Even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him; for this too is futility and striving after wind.

There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

[ There is] no end of all the people,[ even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also[ is] vanity and vexation of spirit.

There is no end to all the people nor to the past generations, yet future generations will not rejoice in him. This also is profitless and like chasing the wind.

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was— yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

Therefore, I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

When I considered all that I had accomplished and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun.

All the people among all the tribes of Israel were arguing:“ The king delivered us from the grasp of our enemies, and he rescued us from the grasp of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.

The people of Israel were defeated by David’s soldiers, and the slaughter there was vast that day— 20,000 casualties.The battle spread over the entire region, and that day the forest claimed more people than the sword.

While he was offering the sacrifices, Absalom sent for David’s adviser Ahithophel the Gilonite, from his city of Giloh. So the conspiracy grew strong, and the people supporting Absalom continued to increase.Then an informer came to David and reported,“ The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”

Adonijah son of Haggith kept exalting himself, saying,“ I will be king!” He prepared chariots, cavalry, and 50 men to run ahead of him.But his father had never once reprimanded him by saying,“ Why do you act this way?” In addition, he was quite handsome and was born after Absalom.He conspired with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest. They supported Adonijah,

For to the man who is pleasing in His sight, He gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

if then you have acted faithfully and honestly with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech and may he also rejoice in you.But if not, may fire come from Abimelech and consume the lords of Shechem and Beth-millo, and may fire come from the lords of Shechem and Beth-millo and consume Abimelech.”

Then the young men who had grown up with him told him,“ This is what you should say to these people who said to you,‘ Your father made our yoke heavy, but you, make it lighter on us!’ This is what you should tell them:‘ My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins!Although my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with barbed whips.’”So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had ordered:“ Return to me on the third day.”Then the king answered the people harshly. He rejected the advice the elders had given himand spoke to them according to the young men’s advice:“ My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with barbed whips.”The king did not listen to the people, because this turn of events came from the Lord to carry out His word, which the Lord had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.When all Israel saw that the king had not listened to them, the people answered him: What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Israel, return to your tents; David, now look after your own house! So Israel went to their tents,

All the people followed him, playing flutes and rejoicing with such a great joy that the earth split open from the sound.
