Page 2 / 3 (2Ki 7:3–Jer 8:8)
Now four men with a skin disease were at the entrance to the city gate. They said to each other, “Why just sit here until we die?
Then they said to each other, “We’re not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our punishment will catch up with us. So let’s go tell the king’s household.”
So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the open country, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and go into the city.’ ”
However, they were terrified and reasoned, “Look, two kings couldn’t stand against him; how can we? ”
So the overseer of the palace, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you tell us. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever you think is right.”[fn]
Jehu met the relatives of King Ahaziah of Judah and asked, “Who are you? ”
They answered, “We’re Ahaziah’s relatives. We’ve come down to greet the king’s sons and the queen mother’s sons.”
Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah said to the royal spokesman, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak with us in Hebrew[fn] within earshot of the people on the wall.”
All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.[fn]
For we are aliens and temporary residents in your presence as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope.
We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and bring them to you as rafts by sea to Joppa. You can then take them up to Jerusalem.
“But as for us, the LORD is our God. We have not abandoned him; the priests ministering to the LORD are descendants of Aaron, and the Levites serve at their tasks.
“They offer a burnt offering and fragrant incense to the LORD every morning and every evening, and they set the rows of the Bread of the Presence on the ceremonially clean table. They light the lamps of the gold lampstand every evening. We are carrying out the requirements of the LORD our God, while you have abandoned him.
Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast number that comes to fight against us. We do not know what to do, but we look to you.[fn]
they approached Zerubbabel and the family heads and said to them, “Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to him[fn] since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”
But Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and the other heads of Israel’s families answered them, “You may have no part with us in building a house for our God, since we alone will build it for the LORD, the God of Israel, as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us.”
Our guilt has been terrible from the days of our ancestors until the present. Because of our iniquities we have been handed over, along with our kings and priests, to the surrounding kings, and to the sword, captivity, plundering, and open shame, as it is today.
Though we are slaves, our God has not abandoned us in our slavery. He has extended grace to us in the presence of the Persian kings, giving us relief, so that we can rebuild the house of our God and repair its ruins, to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.
Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, an Elamite, responded to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the surrounding peoples, but there is still hope for Israel in spite of this.
“Get up, for this matter is your responsibility, and we support you. Be strong and take action! ”
So I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins and its gates have been burned. Come, let’s rebuild Jerusalem’s wall, so that we will no longer be a disgrace.”
I gave them this reply, “The God of the heavens is the one who will grant us success. We, his servants, will start building, but you have no share, right, or historic claim in Jerusalem.”
When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious. He mocked the Jews
In Judah, it was said:[fn]
The strength of the laborer fails,
since there is so much rubble.
We will never be able
to rebuild the wall.
Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “The work is enormous and spread out, and we are separated far from one another along the wall.
So we continued the work, while half of the men were holding spears from daybreak until the stars came out.
And I, my brothers, my servants, and the men of the guard with me never took off our clothes. Each carried his weapon, even when washing.[fn]
Some were saying, “We, our sons, and our daughters are numerous. Let us get grain so that we can eat and live.”
Others were saying, “We are mortgaging our fields, vineyards, and homes to get grain during the famine.”
“We and our children are just like our countrymen and their children, yet we are subjecting our sons and daughters to slavery. Some of our daughters are already enslaved, but we are powerless[fn] because our fields and vineyards belong to others.”
and said, “We have done our best to buy back our Jewish countrymen who were sold to foreigners, but now you sell your own countrymen, and we have to buy them back.” They remained silent and could not say a word.
You are righteous concerning all that has happened to us,
because you have acted faithfully,
while we have acted wickedly.
Here we are today,
slaves in the land you gave our ancestors
so that they could enjoy its fruit and its goodness.
Here we are — slaves in it!
Its abundant harvest goes to the kings
you have set over us,
because of our sins.
They rule over our bodies
and our livestock as they please.
We are in great distress.
In view of all this, we are making a binding agreement in writing on a sealed document containing the names of our leaders, Levites, and priests.
since we were born only yesterday and know nothing.
Our days on earth are but a shadow.
Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,
but we take pride in the name of the LORD our God.
Then we, your people, the sheep of your pasture,
will thank you forever;
we will declare your praise
to generation after generation.
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep under his care.[fn]
Today, if you hear his voice:
Acknowledge that the LORD is God.
He made us, and we are his[fn]—
his people, the sheep of his pasture.
We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.
“And the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Look, this is what has happened to those we relied on and fled to for help to rescue us from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape? ’ ”
Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the royal spokesman, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew[fn] within earshot of the people who are on the wall.”
Yet he himself bore our sicknesses,
and he carried our pains;
but we in turn regarded him stricken,
struck down by God, and afflicted.
Yet LORD, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we all are the work of your hands.
“Let us lie down in our shame;
let our disgrace cover us.
We have sinned against the LORD our God,
both we and our ancestors,
from the time of our youth even to this day.
We have not obeyed the LORD our God.”
2. 2Ki 7:3–Jer 8:8
