Then the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 summoned ^H7121 all ^H3605 the elders ^H2205 of the land ^H776 and said ^H559, “Please ^H4994 be ^H3045 aware ^H3045 and see ^H7200 that this ^H2088 man is looking ^H1245 for ^H1245 trouble ^H7451; for he sent ^H7971 me his demand for my wives ^H802, my children ^H1121, my silver ^H3701, and my gold ^H2091, and I did not refuse ^H4513 him.”

So she wrote ^H3789 letters ^H5612 in Ahab’s ^H256 name ^H8034 and sealed ^H2856 them with his seal ^H2368, and sent ^H7971 the letters ^H5612 to the elders ^H2205 and to the nobles ^H2715 who ^H834 were living ^H3427 with Naboth ^H5022 in his city ^H5892.

So the men ^H376 of his city ^H5892, the elders ^H2205 and the nobles ^H2715 who ^H834 lived ^H3427 in his city ^H5892, did ^H6213 just ^H834 as ^H834 Jezebel ^H348 had sent ^H7971 word to them, just ^H834 as ^H834 it was written ^H3789 in the letters ^H5612 which ^H834 she had sent ^H7971 them.

Now Elisha ^H477 was sitting ^H3427 in his house ^H1004, and the elders ^H2205 were sitting ^H3427 with him. And the king sent ^H7971 a man ^H376 from his presence ^H6440; but before ^H2962 the messenger ^H4397 came ^H935 to him, he said ^H559 to the elders ^H2205, “Do you see ^H7200 how ^H3588 this ^H2088 son ^H1121 of a murderer ^H7523 has sent ^H7971 a man to cut ^H5493 off ^H5493 my head ^H7218? Look ^H7200, when the messenger ^H4397 comes ^H935, shut ^H5462 the door ^H1817 and [fn]hold ^H3905 the door ^H1817 shut ^H3905 against him. Is the sound ^H6963 of his master’s ^H113 feet ^H7272 not behind ^H310 him?”

Now Ahab ^H256 had seventy ^H7657 sons ^H1121 in Samaria ^H8111. And Jehu ^H3058 wrote ^H3789 letters ^H5612 and sent ^H7971 them to Samaria ^H8111, to the officials ^H8269 of Jezreel ^H3157, the elders ^H2205, and to the guardians ^H539 of the children of Ahab ^H256, saying ^H559,

Then the king ^H4428 sent ^H7971 messengers, and they gathered ^H622 to him all ^H3605 the elders ^H2205 of Judah ^H3063 and Jerusalem ^H3389.

So it was David ^H1732, with the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478 and the captains ^H8269 of thousands ^H505, who went ^H1980 to bring ^H5927 up ^H5927 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 from the house ^H1004 of Obed-edom ^H5654 with joy ^H8057.

Then ^H227 Solomon ^H8010 assembled ^H6950 at Jerusalem ^H3389 the elders ^H2205 of Israel ^H3478, all ^H3605 the heads ^H7218 of the tribes ^H4294, and the leaders ^H5387 of the fathers’ ^H1 households of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478, to bring ^H5927 the ark ^H727 of the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 up ^H5927 from the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732, which ^H1931 is Zion ^H6726.

And then King ^H4428 Rehoboam ^H7346 consulted ^H3289 with the elders ^H2205 who ^H834 had ^H1961 [fn]served ^H5975 H6440 his father ^H1 Solomon ^H8010 while he was still alive ^H2416, saying ^H559, “How ^H349 do you advise ^H3289 me to answer ^H7725 H1697 this ^H2088 people ^H5971?”

Then the king ^H4428 sent ^H7971 word and gathered ^H622 all ^H3605 the elders ^H2205 of Judah ^H3063 and Jerusalem ^H3389.

“He deprives ^H5493 the trusted ^H539 ones of speech ^H8193,

And takes ^H3947 away the discernment ^H2940 of the elders ^H2205.

“The [fn]abundant ^H7227 in years may not be ^H2449 wise ^H2449,

Nor ^H3808 may elders ^H2205 understand ^H995 justice ^H4941.

To [fn]imprison ^H631 his high ^H8269 officials ^H8269 [fn]at will ^H5315,

That he might teach ^H2449 his elders ^H2205 wisdom ^H2449.

They shall also exalt ^H7311 Him in the congregation ^H6951 of the people ^H5971,

And praise ^H1984 Him at the seat ^H4186 of the elders ^H2205.

I understand ^H995 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 those ^H2205 who are old ^H2205,

Because ^H3588 I have complied ^H5341 with ^H5341 Your precepts ^H6490.

Both ^H1571 young ^H970 men ^H970 and virgins ^H1330;

Old ^H2205 men ^H2205 and children ^H5288.

Grandchildren ^H1121 are the crown ^H5850 of the old ^H2205,

And the glory ^H8597 of sons ^H1121 is their fathers ^H1.

The glory ^H8597 of young ^H970 men ^H970 is their strength ^H3581,

And the [fn]honor ^H1926 of old ^H2205 men ^H2205 is their gray ^H7872 hair ^H7872.

Her husband ^H1167 is known ^H3045 in the gates ^H8179,

When he sits ^H3427 among ^H5973 the elders ^H2205 of the land ^H776.

A poor ^H4542 yet wise ^H2450 youth ^H3206 is better ^H2896 than ^H4480 an old ^H2205 and foolish ^H3684 king ^H4428 who ^H834 no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 knows ^H3045 how to receive ^H2094 [fn]instruction ^H2094—

The mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 and the warrior ^H376 H4421,

The judge ^H8199 and the prophet ^H5030,

The diviner ^H7080 and the elder ^H2205,

And the people ^H5971 will be oppressed ^H5065,

Each ^H376 one ^H376 by another ^H376, and each ^H376 one ^H376 by his neighbor ^H7453;

The youth ^H5288 will assault ^H7292 the elder ^H2205,

And the contemptible ^H7034 person will assault the one honored ^H3513.

The LORD ^H3068 enters ^H935 into judgment ^H4941 with the elders ^H2205 and leaders ^H8269 of His people ^H5971,

“It is you who have [fn]devoured ^H1197 the vineyard ^H3754;

The goods ^H1500 stolen ^H1500 from the poor ^H6041 are in your houses ^H1004.

The head ^H7218 is the elder ^H2205 and esteemed ^H6440 H5375 man,

And the prophet ^H5030 who teaches ^H3384 falsehood ^H8267 is the tail ^H2180.

Then the moon ^H3842 will be ashamed ^H2659 and the sun ^H2535 be put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954,

For the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635 will reign ^H4427 on Mount ^H2022 Zion ^H6726 and in Jerusalem ^H3389,

And His glory ^H3519 will be before ^H5048 His elders ^H2205.

“I was ^H7107 angry ^H7107 with My people ^H5971,

I profaned ^H2490 My heritage ^H5159

And handed ^H5414 H3027 them over ^H5414 to you.

You did not show ^H7760 mercy ^H7356 to them,

On the aged ^H2205 you made ^H3513 your yoke ^H5923 very ^H3966 heavy ^H3513.

“No ^H3808 longer ^H5750 will there be [fn]in it an infant ^H5764 who lives only a few days ^H3117,

Or an old ^H2205 person ^H2205 who ^H834 does not [fn]live ^H4390 out ^H4390 his days ^H3117;

For the youth ^H5288 will die ^H4191 at the age ^H1121 of a hundred ^H3967,

And the [fn]one who does ^H2398 not ^H2398 reach ^H2398 the age ^H1121 of a hundred ^H3967

Will be ^H7043 thought accursed ^H7043.

But I am full ^H4390 of the wrath ^H2534 of the LORD ^H3068;

I am ^H3811 weary ^H3811 of holding ^H3557 it in.

“Pour ^H8210 it out ^H8210 on the children ^H5768 in the street ^H2351

And on the [fn]gathering ^H5475 of young ^H970 men ^H970 together ^H3162;

For both ^H1571 husband ^H376 and wife ^H802 shall be taken ^H3920,

The old ^H2205 [fn]and the very ^H4392 H3117 old ^H4392 H3117.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: “Go ^H1980 and buy ^H7069 a potter’s ^H3335 earthenware ^H2789 jar ^H1228, and take some ^H4480 of the elders ^H2205 of the people ^H5971 and some ^H4480 of the [fn]senior ^H2205 priests ^H3548.

Now these ^H428 are the words ^H1697 of the letter ^H5612 which ^H834 Jeremiah ^H3414 the prophet ^H5030 sent ^H7971 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to the rest ^H3499 of the elders ^H2205 of the exile ^H1473, the priests ^H3548, the prophets ^H5030, and all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 whom ^H834 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5019 had taken ^H1540 into ^H1540 exile ^H1473 from Jerusalem ^H3389 to Babylon ^H894.

“Then ^H227 the virgin ^H1330 will rejoice ^H8055 in the dance ^H4234,

And the young ^H970 men ^H970 and the old ^H2205 together ^H3162;

For I will turn ^H2015 their mourning ^H60 into joy ^H8342

And comfort ^H5162 them, and give ^H8055 them joy ^H8055 for their sorrow ^H3015.
