And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he
smote him
that he died.
Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go,
execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.
(Also he
bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
and he ordered
that the sons of Judah be taught the Song of the Bow. It is written in the Book of
Jashar:
And it came to pass after this,
that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said,
Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto
Hebron.
Some time later, David inquired of the LORD, “Should I go up to one of the towns of Judah?” “Go up,” the LORD answered. Then David asked, “Where should I go?” “To
Hebron,” replied the LORD.
And his men
that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of
Hebron.
David also took the men who were with him, each with his household, and they settled in the towns near
Hebron.
And the men of Judah came, and there they
anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying,
That the men of
Jabesh-
gilead were they
that buried Saul.
Then the men of Judah came to
Hebron, and there they
anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, “It was the men of
Jabesh-
gilead who buried Saul.”
And David sent messengers unto the men of
Jabesh-
gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD,
that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
So David sent messengers to the men of
Jabesh-
gilead to tell them, “The LORD
bless you, because you showed this kindness to Saul your lord when you buried him.
And the time
that David was king in
Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
And the length of time
that David was king in
Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore
that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in
Gibeon.
Then each man
grabbed his
opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his
opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in
Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.
And there was a very
sore battle
that day; and
Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
The battle
that day was intense, and
Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
Then
Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou
Asahel? And he answered, I am.
Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore
Abner with the hinder end of the
spear smote him under the fifth rib,
that the
spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass,
that as many as came to the place where
Asahel fell down and died stood still.
But
Asahel refused to turn away; so
Abner thrust the
butt of his
spear into his stomach, and it came out his back, and he fell dead on the spot. And every man
paused when he came to the place where
Asahel had fallen and died.
Joab also and
Abishai pursued after
Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah,
that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of
Gibeon.
But
Joab and
Abishai pursued
Abner. By
sunset, they had gone as far as the hill of Ammah opposite Giah on the way to the wilderness of
Gibeon.
Then
Abner called to
Joab, and said, Shall the sword
devour for ever? knowest thou not
that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then,
ere thou
bid the people return from following their brethren?
Then
Abner called out to
Joab: “Must the sword
devour forever? Do you not
realize that this will only end in bitterness? How long before you tell the troops to stop pursuing their brothers?”
And
Abner and his men walked all
that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to
Mahanaim.
And all
that night
Abner and his men marched through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, marched all morning, and arrived at
Mahanaim.
But the servants of David had
smitten of Benjamin, and of
Abner’s men, so
that three hundred and
threescore men died.
but they had struck down 360 Benjamites who were with
Abner.
And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David,
that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David,
Abner had continued to
strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
Then was
Abner very
wroth for the words of
Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head, which against Judah do
shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David,
that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
Abner was
furious over
Ish-bosheth’s
accusation. “Am I the head of a dog
that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been
loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you
accuse me of
wrongdoing with this woman!
And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul’s daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
“Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”
And
Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and
Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in
Hebron all
that seemed good to Israel, and
that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
Abner also spoke to the Benjamites and went to
Hebron to tell David all
that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
So
Abner came to David to
Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made
Abner and the men
that were with him a feast.
When
Abner and twenty of his men came to David at
Hebron, David held a feast for them.
And
Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king,
that they may make a league with thee, and
that thou mayest reign over all
that thine heart desireth. And David sent
Abner away; and he went in peace.
Then
Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king,
that they may make a covenant with you, and
that you may rule over all
that your heart desires.” So David dismissed
Abner, and he went in peace.
When
Joab and all the host
that was with him were come, they told
Joab, saying,
Abner the son of
Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
When
Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “
Abner son of
Ner came to see the king, who sent him on his way in peace.”
Then
Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold,
Abner came unto thee; why is it
that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
So
Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look,
Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!
Thou knowest
Abner the son of
Ner,
that he came to
deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all
that thou doest.
And when
Abner was returned to
Hebron,
Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and
smote him there under the fifth rib,
that he died, for the blood of
Asahel his brother.
Let it rest on the head of
Joab, and on all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of
Joab one
that hath an issue, or
that is a
leper, or
that leaneth on a staff, or
that falleth on the sword, or
that lacketh bread.
May it
whirl over the heads of
Joab and the entire house of his father, and may the house of
Joab never be without one having a discharge or skin disease, or one who leans on a staff or falls by the sword or lacks food.”
And David said to
Joab, and to all the people
that were with him,
Rend your clothes, and
gird you with
sackcloth, and
mourn before
Abner. And king David himself followed the
bier.
Then David ordered
Joab and all the people with him, “
Tear your clothes, put on
sackcloth, and
mourn before
Abner.” And King David himself walked behind the funeral
bier.
For all the people and all Israel understood
that day
that it was not of the king to
slay Abner the son of
Ner.
So on
that day all the troops and all Israel were
convinced that the king had no part in the murder of
Abner son of
Ner.
And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not
realize that a great prince has fallen
today in Israel?
And when Saul’s son heard
that Abner was dead in
Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
Now when
Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard
that Abner had died in
Hebron, he lost courage, and all Israel was dismayed.
And Saul’s son had two men
that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of
Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
Saul’s son had two men who were leaders of
raiding parties. One was named Baanah and the other Rechab; they were sons of
Rimmon the Beerothite of the tribe of Benjamin—Beeroth is considered part of Benjamin,
And
Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son
that was
lame of his feet. He was five years old when the
tidings came of Saul and
Jonathan out of
Jezreel, and his
nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made
haste to
flee,
that he fell, and became
lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
And
Jonathan son of Saul had a son who was
lame in his feet. He was five years old when the report about Saul and
Jonathan came from
Jezreel. His
nurse picked him up and fled, but as she was
hurrying to escape, he fell and became
lame. His name was Mephibosheth.
When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good
tidings, I took hold of him, and
slew him in
Ziklag, who thought
that I would have given him a reward for his
tidings:
when someone told me, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was a bearer of good news, I seized him and put him to death at
Ziklag.
That was his reward for his news!
Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou
wast he
that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
Even in times past, while Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And to you the LORD said, ‘You will
shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
Nevertheless David took the strong hold of
Zion: the same is the city of David.
Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of
Zion (
that is, the City of David).
And David said on
that day,
Whosoever getteth up to the
gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the
lame and the blind,
that are
hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the
lame shall not come into the house.
On
that day he said, “
Whoever attacks the Jebusites must use the water shaft to reach the
lame and blind who are
despised by David.”
That is why it is said, “The blind and the
lame will never enter the palace.”
And David perceived
that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and
that he had
exalted his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake.
And David realized
that the LORD had established him as king over Israel and had
exalted his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
And these be the names of those
that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and
Nathan, and Solomon,
These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab,
Nathan, Solomon,
But when the Philistines heard
that they had
anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
When the Philistines heard
that David had been
anointed king over Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went down to the
stronghold.
And David came to
Baal-perazim, and David
smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of
that place
Baal-perazim.
So David went to
Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a
bursting flood, the LORD has
burst out against my enemies before me.” So he called
that place
Baal-perazim.
And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the
mulberry trees,
that then thou shalt
bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to
smite the host of the Philistines.
As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the
balsam trees, move quickly, because this will mean
that the LORD has marched out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
And he and all his troops set out for Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name— the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned between the
cherubim that are on it.
And they set the ark of God upon a new
cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab
that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab,
drave the new
cart.
They set the ark of God on a new
cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new
cart,
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place
Perez-uzzah to this day.
Then David became
angry because the LORD had
burst forth against Uzzah; so he named
that place
Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.
And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”
And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-
edom, and all
that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-
edom into the city of David with
gladness.
Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-
edom and all
that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-
edom into the City of David with
rejoicing.
And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a
fattened calf.
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
So they brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
That the king said unto
Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of
cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
he said to
Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of
cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”
And
Nathan said to the king, Go, do all
that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
And
Nathan replied to the king, “Go and do all
that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
And it came to pass
that night,
that the word of the LORD came unto
Nathan, saying,
But
that night the word of the LORD came to
Nathan, saying,
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in?
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling.
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the
sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
And I was with thee
whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men
that are in the earth.
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
Moreover I will
appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them,
that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness
afflict them any more, as
beforetime,
And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so
that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness
oppress them as they did at the beginning
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. The LORD declares to you that He Himself will establish a house for you.
Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord GOD, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
How great You are, O Lord GOD! For there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
And now, O LORD God,
confirm forever the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house. Do as You have promised,
And let thy name be
magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
so
that Your name will be
magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts is God over Israel.’ And the house of Your servant David will be established before You.
And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
Therefore now let it please thee to
bless the house of thy servant,
that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
Now therefore, may it please You to
bless the house of Your servant,
that it may continue
forever before You. For You, O Lord GOD, have spoken, and with Your blessing the house of Your servant will be blessed
forever.”
And after this it came to pass,
that David
smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Metheg-ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
Some time later, David defeated the Philistines, subdued them, and took Metheg-ammah from the hand of the Philistines.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
And David took the gold shields that belonged to the officers of Hadadezer and brought them to Jerusalem.
When Toi king of
Hamath heard
that David had
smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
When King Toi of
Hamath heard
that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
Which also king David did
dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold
that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
and King David dedicated these to the LORD, along with the silver and gold he had dedicated from all the nations he had subdued—
And David said, Is there yet any
that is left of the house of Saul,
that I may
shew him kindness for
Jonathan’s sake?
Then David asked, “Is there
anyone left from the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for the sake of
Jonathan?”
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul,
that I may
shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king,
Jonathan hath yet a son, which is
lame on his feet.
So the king asked, “Is there
anyone left of Saul’s family to whom I can show the kindness of God?” Ziba answered, “There is still
Jonathan’s son, who is
lame in both feet.”
And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, “What is your servant, that you should show regard for a dead dog like me?”
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all
that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.
Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits,
that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread
alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
You and your sons and servants are to work the ground for him and bring in the harvest, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, is always to eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons.
And Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all
that my lord the king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth
ate at David’s table like one of the king’s own sons.
And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth had a young son named
Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.
And it came to pass after this,
that the king of the children of
Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his
stead.
Some time later, the king of the
Ammonites died and was succeeded by his son Hanun.
And the princes of the children of
Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou
that David
doth honour thy father,
that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to
spy it out, and to overthrow it?
the princes of the
Ammonites said to Hanun their lord, “Just because David has sent you comforters, do you really believe he is showing respect for your father? Has not David instead sent his servants to
explore the city,
spy it out, and overthrow it?”
And when the children of
Ammon saw
that they
stank before David, the children of
Ammon sent and
hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand
footmen, and of king
Maacah a thousand men, and of
Ish-
tob twelve thousand men.
When the
Ammonites realized
that they had become a
stench to David, they
hired twenty thousand
Aramean foot soldiers from Beth-rehob and Zoba, as well as a thousand men from the king of
Maacah and twelve thousand men from
Tob.
When
Joab saw
that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in
array against the Syrians:
When
Joab saw the battle lines before him and behind him, he selected some of the best men of Israel and
arrayed them against the Arameans.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of
Abishai his brother,
that he might put them in
array against the children of
Ammon.
And he placed the rest of the forces under the command of his brother
Abishai, who
arrayed them against the
Ammonites.
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
Be strong and let us fight
bravely for our people and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
And
Joab drew
nigh, and the people
that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
So
Joab and his troops advanced to fight the Arameans, who fled before him.
And when the children of
Ammon saw
that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before
Abishai, and entered into the city. So
Joab returned from the children of
Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
When the
Ammonites saw
that the Arameans had fled, they too fled before
Abishai, and they entered the city. So
Joab returned from fighting against the
Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.
And when the Syrians saw
that they were
smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they regrouped.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
Hadadezer sent messengers to bring more Arameans from beyond the Euphrates, and they came to Helam with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer’s army leading them.
And when all the kings
that were servants to Hadarezer saw
that they were
smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of
Ammon any more.
When all the kings who were subject to Hadadezer saw
that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the
Ammonites anymore.
And it came to pass, after the year was
expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle,
that David sent
Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of
Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David
tarried still at Jerusalem.
In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, David sent out
Joab and his servants with the whole army of Israel. They destroyed the
Ammonites and besieged Rabbah, but David remained in Jerusalem.
And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
One evening David got up from his bed and
strolled around on the roof of the palace. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing—a very beautiful woman.
And David said to Uriah,
Tarry here to day also, and to
morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem
that day, and the
morrow.
“Stay here one more day,” David said to Uriah, “and
tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah stayed in Jerusalem
that day and the next.
And it came to pass in the morning,
that David wrote a letter to
Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
The next morning David wrote a letter to
Joab and sent it with Uriah.
And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the
forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him,
that he may be
smitten, and die.
In the letter he wrote: “Put Uriah at the front of the fiercest battle; then withdraw from him, so that he may be struck down and killed.”
And it came to pass, when
Joab observed the city,
that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew
that valiant men were.
So as
Joab besieged the city, he assigned Uriah to a place where he saw the strongest enemy soldiers.
And if so be
that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so
nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not
that they would shoot from the wall?
if the king’s anger flares, he may ask you, ‘Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Did you not
realize they would shoot from
atop the wall?
Who
smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a
millstone upon him from the wall,
