Yahweh said to me,“ Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession, because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”

Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, I have purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place. You are witnesses today.”

After this, David struck the Philistines and subdued them; and David took the bridle of the mother city out of the hand of the Philistines.He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.David struck also Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his dominion at the River.David took from him one thousand seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen. David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for one hundred chariots.When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David struck twenty two thousand men of the Syrians.Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought tribute. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.From Betah and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took a great quantity of bronze.When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had struck all the army of Hadadezer,then Toi sent Joram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him; for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. Joram brought with him vessels of silver, vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.King David also dedicated these to Yahweh, with the silver and gold that he dedicated of all the nations which he subdued;of Syria, of Moab, of the children of Ammon, of the Philistines, of Amalek, and of the plunder of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.David earned a reputation when he returned from striking down eighteen thousand men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt.He put garrisons in Edom. Throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. Yahweh gave victory to David wherever he went.David reigned over all Israel; and David executed justice and righteousness for all his people.Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army, Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder,Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, Seraiah was scribe,Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and David’s sons were chief ministers.

Now these are the nations which Yahweh left, to test Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at least those who knew nothing of it before:the five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.They were left to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to Yahweh’s commandments, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.They took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons and served their gods.The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and forgot Yahweh their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim eight years.When the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.Yahweh’s Spirit came on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and Yahweh delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand. His hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.The land had rest forty years, then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and Yahweh strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.He gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.The children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.But when the children of Israel cried to Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a savior for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left- handed man. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.Ehud made himself a sword which had two edges, a cubit in length; and he wore it under his clothing on his right thigh.He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was a very fat man.When Ehud had finished offering the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute.But he himself turned back from the stone idols that were by Gilgal, and said,“ I have a secret message for you, O king.” The king said,“ Keep silence!” All who stood by him left him.Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said,“ I have a message from God to you.” He arose out of his seat.Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his body.The handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn’t draw the sword out of his body; and it came out behind.Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.After he had gone, his servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked. They said,“ Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room.”They waited until they were ashamed; and behold, he didn’t open the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them, and behold, their lord had fallen down dead on the floor.Ehud escaped while they waited, passed beyond the stone idols, and escaped to Seirah.When he had come, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he led them.He said to them,“ Follow me; for Yahweh has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” They followed him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and didn’t allow any man to pass over.They struck at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, every strong man and every man of valor. No man escaped.So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years.After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad. He also saved Israel.

The children of Israel traveled, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho.Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.Moab was very afraid of the people, because they were many. Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.Moab said to the elders of Midian,“ Now this multitude will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.He sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the River, to the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying,“ Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt. Behold, they cover the surface of the earth, and they are staying opposite me.Please come now therefore, and curse this people for me; for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail, that we may strike them, and that I may drive them out of the land; for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.”The elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand. They came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak.He said to them,“ Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as Yahweh shall speak to me.” The princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.God came to Balaam, and said,“ Who are these men with you?”Balaam said to God,“ Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has said to me,‘ Behold, the people that has come out of Egypt covers the surface of the earth. Now, come curse me them. Perhaps I shall be able to fight against them, and shall drive them out.’”God said to Balaam,“ You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for they are blessed.”Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak,“ Go to your land; for Yahweh refuses to permit me to go with you.”The princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said,“ Balaam refuses to come with us.”Balak again sent princes, more, and more honorable than they.They came to Balaam, and said to him,“ Balak the son of Zippor says,‘ Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me,for I will promote you to very great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. Please come therefore, and curse this people for me.’”Balaam answered the servants of Balak,“ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.Now therefore please stay here tonight as well, that I may know what else Yahweh will speak to me.”God came to Balaam at night, and said to him,“ If the men have come to call you, rise up, go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.”Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and went with the princes of Moab.God’s anger burned because he went; and Yahweh’s angel placed himself in the way as an adversary against him. Now he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and the donkey turned out of the path, and went into the field. Balaam struck the donkey, to turn her into the path.Then Yahweh’s angel stood in a narrow path between the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel, and she thrust herself to the wall, and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. He struck her again.Yahweh’s angel went further, and stood in a narrow place, where there was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.The donkey saw Yahweh’s angel, and she lay down under Balaam. Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”Balaam said to the donkey,“ Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”The donkey said to Balaam,“ Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said,“ No.”Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw Yahweh’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.Yahweh’s angel said to him,“ Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.The donkey saw me, and turned away before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”Balaam said to Yahweh’s angel,“ I have sinned; for I didn’t know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”Yahweh’s angel said to Balaam,“ Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.When Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to the City of Moab, which is on the border of the Arnon, which is in the utmost part of the border.Balak said to Balaam,“ Didn’t I earnestly send for you to summon you? Why didn’t you come to me? Am I not able indeed to promote you to honor?”Balaam said to Balak,“ Behold, I have come to you. Have I now any power at all to speak anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak.”Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth.Balak sacrificed cattle and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes who were with him.In the morning, Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal; and he saw from there part of the people.

Woe to you, Moab! You are undone, people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.

An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into Yahweh’s assembly; even to the tenth generation shall no one belonging to them enter into Yahweh’s assembly forever,

Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, but not like his father, and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying,“ The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said,“ I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”He said,“ Which way shall we go up?” He answered,“ The way of the wilderness of Edom.”So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.The king of Israel said,“ Alas! For Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”But Jehoshaphat said,“ Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered,“ Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”Jehoshaphat said,“ Yahweh’s word is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.Elisha said to the king of Israel,“ What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him,“ No, for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”Elisha said,“ As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, Yahweh’s hand came on him.He said,“ Yahweh says,‘ Make this valley full of trenches.’For Yahweh says,‘ You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.This is an easy thing in Yahweh’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, and stood on the border.They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.They said,“ This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water, and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it, and attacked it.When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.Then he took his oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he didn’t go, as at the other times, to use divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.He took up his parable, and said,“ Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your dwellings, Israel!As valleys they are spread out, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall consume the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.”Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together. Balak said to Balaam,“ I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.Therefore, flee to your place, now! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor.”Balaam said to Balak,“ Didn’t I also tell your messengers whom you sent to me, saying,‘ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can’t go beyond Yahweh’s word, to do either good or bad from my own mind. I will say what Yahweh says’?Now, behold, I go to my people. Come, I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.”He took up his parable, and said,“ Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eyes are open says;he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city.”He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said,“ Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction.”He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said,“ Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive.”He took up his parable, and said,“ Alas, who shall live when God does this?But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction.”Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.

When you come near the border of the children of Ammon, don’t bother them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for a possession, because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.”
