“You have also delivered ^H6403 me from the contentions ^H7379 of my people ^H5971;

You have kept ^H8104 me as head ^H7218 of the nations ^H1471;

A people ^H5971 whom I have not known ^H3045 serve ^H5647 me.

[fn]Now Solomon ^H8010 ruled ^H4910 over all ^H3605 the kingdoms ^H4467 from the [fn]River ^H5104 to the land ^H776 of the Philistines ^H6430 and to the border ^H1366 of Egypt ^H4714; they brought ^H5066 tribute ^H4503 and served ^H5647 Solomon ^H8010 all ^H3605 the days ^H3117 of his life ^H2416.

“But if ^H518 you or your sons ^H1121 indeed ^H7725 turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 from following ^H310 Me, and do not keep ^H8104 My commandments ^H4687 and My statutes ^H2708 which ^H834 I have given ^H5414 before ^H6440 you, and go ^H1980 and serve ^H5647 other ^H312 gods ^H430 and worship ^H2331 them,

Now it happened ^H1961, as though it had been ^H7043 a ^H7043 trivial ^H7043 thing ^H7043 for him to walk ^H1980 in the sins ^H2403 of Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat ^H5028, that he took ^H3947 Jezebel ^H348 the daughter ^H1323 of Ethbaal ^H856 king ^H4428 of the Sidonians ^H6722 as a wife ^H802, and went ^H1980 and served ^H5647 Baal ^H1168 and worshiped ^H2331 him.

Then Jehu ^H3058 gathered ^H6908 all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 and said ^H559 to them, “Ahab ^H256 served ^H5647 Baal ^H1168 a little ^H4592; Jehu ^H3058 will serve ^H5647 him much ^H7235.

“As for you, my son ^H1121 Solomon ^H8010, know ^H3045 the God ^H430 of your father ^H1, and serve ^H5647 Him with [fn]a whole ^H8003 heart ^H3820 and a delighted ^H2655 soul ^H5315; for Yahweh ^H3068 searches ^H1875 all ^H3605 hearts ^H3824, and understands ^H995 every ^H3605 intent ^H3336 of the thoughts ^H4284. If ^H518 you seek ^H1875 Him, He will be found ^H4672; but if ^H518 you forsake ^H5800 Him, He will reject ^H2186 you forever ^H5703.

“But if ^H518 you turn ^H7725 away ^H7725 and forsake ^H5800 My statutes ^H2708 and My commandments ^H4687 which ^H834 I have set ^H5414 before ^H6440 you, and go ^H1980 and serve ^H5647 other ^H312 gods ^H430 and worship ^H2331 them,

“But they, in their own kingdom ^H4438,

With Your abundant ^H7227 goodness ^H2898 which ^H834 You gave ^H5414 them,

With the broad ^H7342 and rich ^H8082 land ^H776 which ^H834 You set ^H5414 before ^H6440 them,

Did not serve ^H5647 You or turn ^H7725 from their evil ^H7451 deeds ^H4611.

‘[fn]Who ^H4100 is [fn]the Almighty ^H7706, that we should serve ^H5647 Him,

And what ^H4100 would we profit ^H3276 if ^H3588 we entreat ^H6293 Him?’

“If ^H518 they hear ^H8085 and serve ^H5647 Him,

They will end ^H3615 their days ^H3117 in prosperity ^H2896

And their years ^H8141 in pleasures ^H5273.

“Will the wild ^H7214 ox ^H7214 consent ^H14 to serve ^H5647 you,

Or ^H518 will he spend ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 at your manger ^H18?

Serve ^H5647 Yahweh ^H3068 with fear ^H3374

And rejoice ^H1523 with trembling ^H7461.

You have delivered ^H6403 me from the contentions ^H7379 of the people ^H5971;

You have placed ^H7760 me as head ^H7218 of the nations ^H1471;

A people ^H5971 whom I have not known ^H3045 serve ^H5647 me.

Their seed ^H2233 will serve ^H5647 Him;

It will be recounted ^H5608 about the Lord ^H136 to the coming generation ^H1755.

[fn]And let all ^H3605 kings ^H4428 bow ^H2331 down ^H2331 to him,

All ^H3605 nations ^H1471 serve ^H5647 him.

Let all ^H3605 those be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 who serve ^H5647 graven ^H6459 images ^H6459,

Who boast ^H1984 of idols ^H457;

[fn]Worship ^H2331 Him, all ^H3605 you [fn]gods ^H430!
