Then the lot ^H1486 for the sons ^H1121 of Joseph ^H3130 went ^H3318 from the Jordan ^H3383 at Jericho ^H3405 to the waters ^H4325 of Jericho ^H3405 on the east ^H4217 into the wilderness ^H4057, going ^H5927 up ^H5927 from Jericho ^H3405 through the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 to Bethel ^H1008.

Likewise ^H1571 the house ^H1004 of Joseph ^H3130 went ^H5927 up ^H5927 against Bethel ^H1008, and the LORD ^H3068 was with them.

Now the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 set ^H6965 out ^H6965, went ^H5927 up ^H5927 to Bethel ^H1008, and inquired ^H7592 of God ^H430 and said ^H559, “Who ^H4310 shall go ^H5927 up ^H5927 first ^H8462 for us to battle ^H4421 against ^H5973 the sons ^H1121 of Benjamin ^H1144?” Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559, “Judah ^H3063 shall go up first ^H8462.”

So they said ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, there is a feast ^H2282 of the LORD ^H3068 from year ^H3117 to year ^H3117 in Shiloh ^H7887, which ^H834 is on the north ^H6828 side ^H6828 of Bethel ^H1008, on the east ^H4217 H8121 side ^H4217 H8121 of the road ^H4546 that goes ^H5927 up ^H5927 from Bethel ^H1008 to Shechem ^H7927, and on the south ^H5045 side ^H5045 of Lebonah ^H3829.”

Now Saul ^H7586 chose ^H977 for himself three ^H7969 thousand ^H505 men of Israel ^H3478, of whom two ^H505 thousand ^H505 were with Saul ^H7586 in Michmash ^H4363 and in the hill ^H2022 country ^H2022 of Bethel ^H1008, while a thousand ^H505 were with Jonathan ^H3083 at Gibeah ^H1390 of Benjamin ^H1144. But he sent ^H7971 the rest ^H3499 of the people ^H5971 away ^H7971, each ^H376 to his tent ^H168.

Now behold ^H2009, a man ^H376 of God ^H430 came ^H935 from Judah ^H3063 to Bethel ^H1008 by the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068, while Jeroboam ^H3379 was standing ^H5975 at the altar ^H4196 to burn ^H6999 incense ^H6999.

Now he went ^H5927 up ^H5927 from there ^H8033 to Bethel ^H1008; and as he was going ^H5927 up ^H5927 by the road ^H1870, some young ^H6996 boys ^H5288 came ^H3318 out ^H3318 from the city ^H5892 and ridiculed ^H7046 him and said ^H559 to him, “Go ^H5927 up ^H5927, you baldhead ^H7142; go ^H5927 up ^H5927, you baldhead ^H7142!”

Then the king ^H4428 commanded ^H6680 Hilkiah ^H2518 the high ^H1419 priest ^H3548, the priests ^H3548 of the second ^H4932 order, and the [fn]doorkeepers ^H8104 H5592 to bring ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the temple ^H1964 of the LORD ^H3068 all ^H3605 the utensils ^H3627 that had been made ^H6213 for Baal ^H1168, for [fn]Asherah ^H842, and for all ^H3605 the heavenly ^H8064 [fn]lights ^H6635; and he burned ^H8313 them outside ^H4480 H2351 Jerusalem ^H3389 in the fields ^H7709 of the Kidron ^H6939 Valley, and carried ^H5375 their ashes ^H6083 to Bethel ^H1008.

Furthermore ^H1571, the altar ^H4196 that was at Bethel ^H1008 and the high ^H1116 place ^H1116 which ^H834 Jeroboam ^H3379 the son ^H1121 of Nebat ^H5028, who ^H834 misled ^H2398 Israel ^H3478 into ^H2398 sin ^H2398, had made ^H6213, even ^H1571 that altar ^H4196 and the high ^H1116 place ^H1116 he tore ^H5422 down ^H5422. Then he burned ^H8313 the high ^H1116 place ^H1116, ground ^H1854 the remains to dust ^H6083, and burned ^H8313 the Asherah ^H842.
