2Samuel:2:8-3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Abner the son of Ner ,
the commander of the Saul '
s army ,
took Ishbosheth the son of Saul ,
and caused him to cross over to Mahanaim .
*
And he caused him to reign over Gilead ,
and over the Ashurites ,
and over Jezreel ,
and over Ephraim ,
and over Benjamin ,
and over all Israel .
*
Ishbosheth the son of Saul was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel ,
and he reigned two years .
But the house of Judah followed after David .
*
And it happened ,
the number of the days that David was king in Hebron ,
over the house of Judah ,
was seven years and six months .
*
And Abner the son of Ner and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon .
*
And Joab the son of Zeruiah ,
and David '
s servants went out .
And they met by the pool of Gibeon ,
and sat down ,
these by the pool on this side ,
and those by the pool on that side .
*
And Abner said to Joab ,
Let the young men rise up now and play before us .
And Joab said ,
Let them rise .
*
And they rose up and went over by number ,
twelve for Benjamin ,
and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul ,
and twelve of the servants of David .
*
And each one lay hold on the head of his companion ,
and thrust his sword into the side of his companion .
And they fell together .
And one called that place The Field of Rocks ,
which is in Gibeon .
*
And the battle was very hard on that day ,
and the men of Israel and Abner were stricken before David '
s servants .
*
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there ,
Joab ,
and Abishai ,
and Asahel .
And Asahel was swift with his feet ,
like one of the gazelles in the field .
*
And Asahel ran after Abner ,
and did not turn to go to the right or to the left from following Abner .
*
And Abner looked behind him ,
and said ,
Are you Asahel ?
And he said ,
I am .
*
And Abner said to him ,
Turn aside to your right ,
or to your left ,
and seize one of the young men for yourself ,
and take his spoil for yourself .
And Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him .
*
And Abner said again to Asahel ,
Turn aside from following me .
Why should I strike you to the earth ?
And how shall I lift up my face to your brother Joab ?
*
And he refused to turn aside .
And Abner struck him in the belly with the butt of the spear .
And the spear came out from behind him ;
and he fell there ,
and died in his place .
And it happened that all who came to the place ,
there where Asahel fell and died ,
they stood still .
*
And Joab and Abishai ran after Abner ,
and the sun was setting .
And they came to the hill of Ammah which is before Giah ,
by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon .
*
And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves after Abner ,
and became one troop ,
and stood on the top of a certain hill .
*
And Abner called to Joab ,
and said ,
Does the sword devour forever ?
Do you not know that it will be bitter in the end ?
And until when will you say to the people to turn back from after their brothers ?
*
And Joab said ,
As God lives ,
for if you had not spoken ,
surely then in the morning the people would have gone up ,
each one from following his brother .
*
And Joab blew the ram '
s horn .
And all the people stood still ,
and did not pursue Israel any more ;
nor did they fight any more .
*
And Abner and his men went through the Arabah all that night ,
and crossed the Jordan ,
and went all the forenoon ,
and came to Mahanaim .
*
And Joab returned from pursuing Abner .
And he gathered all the people .
And there were lacking nineteen men of David '
s servants ,
and Asahel .
*
And David '
s servants had struck three hundred and sixty men of Benjamin ,
even among the men of Abner these died .
*
And they lifted up Asahel and buried him in the burying place of his father ,
which is in Bethlehem .
And they went all night ,
Joab and his men ;
and it was light to them coming into Hebron .
*
And a man of worthlessness happened to be there ,
and his name was Sheba ,
the son of Bichri ,
a man of Benjamin .
And he blew the ram '
s horn and said ,
We have no part in David ,
and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse .
Each man to his tents ,
O Israel .
*
And every man of Israel went up from following David ,
going after Sheba the son of Bichri .
But the men of Judah clung to their king ,
from the Jordan even to Jerusalem .
*
And David came into his house at Jerusalem .
And the king took the ten women ,
the concubines whom he had left to guard the house ,
and fed them .
But he did not go in to them ,
and they were shut up to the day of their death in widowhood .
*
And the king said to Amasa ,
Call for me the men of Judah within three days ;
and you stand here .
*
And Amasa went to call Judah ,
but delayed beyond the set time which he had set for him .
*
And David said to Abishai ,
Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do more evil to us than Absalom .
You take the servants of your lord and pursue him ,
that he not find fortified cities for himself ,
and deliver himself from our eye .
*
And the men of Joab went out after him ,
and the Cherethites ,
and the Pelethites ,
and all the mighty men .
And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri .
*
They were near the great stone in Gibeon ,
and Amasa had gone before them .
And Joab was girded with his war coat as his clothing ;
and over it was a belt with a sword fastened on his loins in its sheath .
And as he went out ,
it fell out .
*
And Joab said to Amasa ,
Is it well with you ,
my brother ?
And Joab '
s right hand took hold of Amasa '
s beard to give a kiss to him .
*
And Amasa was not on guard against the sword in Joab '
s hand .
And he struck him with it ,
to the belly ,
and poured out his bowels to the ground ,
and did not strike him again .
And he died .
And Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri .
*
And a man stood beside him ,
of the young men of Joab ;
and he said ,
Whoever delights in Joab ,
and whoever is for David follow after Joab !
*
And Amasa was wallowing in blood in the middle of the highway .
And the man saw that all the people stood still .
And he turned away Amasa from the highway to the field ,
and threw a garment over him ,
when he saw that all who came beside him stood still .
*
When he was taken from the highway ,
every man passed on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri .
*
And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel ,
and to Beth-maachah ,
and to all the Berites .
And they were gathered ,
and went after him also .
*
And they went in and lay siege against him in Abel-beth-maachah ,
and mounded up a siege-mound against the city .
And it stood against the outermost wall ,
and all the people with Joab were undermining ,
to cause the wall to fall .
*
And a wise woman called out of the city ,
Hear !
Hear !
Please say to Joab ,
Come near here and I will speak to you .
*
And he came near to her .
And the woman said ,
Are you Joab ?
And he said ,
I am .
And she said to him ,
Hear the words of your handmaid .
And he said ,
I am listening .
*
And she spoke ,
saying ,
They spoke often in days gone by ,
saying ,
Surely they will ask at Abel ,
and so they ended all dispute .
*
I am of the peaceful ,
faithful ones of Israel .
You are seeking to destroy a city ,
and a mother in Israel .
Why will you swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah ?
*
And Joab answered and said ,
Far be it !
Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy .
*
The case is not such .
For a man of the hills of Ephraim ,
Sheba the son of Bichri is his name ,
has lifted up his hand against the king ,
against David .
If you will give him up by himself ,
then I will go away from the city .
And the woman said to Joab ,
Behold ,
his head will be thrown over the wall to you .
*
And the woman came to all the people in her wisdom .
And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it to Joab .
And he blew the ram '
s horn ,
and they were dispersed from the city ,
each man to his tents .
And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king .
*
And Joab was over all the army of Israel ,
and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites .
*
And Adoram was over the forced labor ,
and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder .
*
And Sheva was the scribe ,
and Zadok and Abiathar the priests .
*
And also Ira the Jairite was a priest to David .
*
And there was a famine in the days of David ,
three years ,
year after year .
And David sought the face of Jehovah .
And Jehovah said ,
It is for Saul and for his bloody house ,
because he killed the Gibeonites .
*
And the king called for the Gibeonites and said to them (
as to the Gibeonites ,
they were not of the sons of Israel ,
but of the remnant of the Amorites ,
and the sons of Israel had sworn to them )
and Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah .
*
And David said to the Gibeonites ,
What shall I do for you ?
And with what shall I atone ,
and you bless the inheritance of Jehovah ?
*
And the Gibeonites said to him ,
We will have neither silver nor gold by Saul and by his house .
Also ,
we will have no man in Israel put to death .
And he said ,
What you say ,
I will do for you .
*
And they said to the king ,
The man who destroyed us and schemed against us that we be wasted from standing in all the border of Israel was Saul .
*
Let be given to us seven men of his sons to us .
And we will expose them to Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul ,
the chosen of Jehovah .
And the king said ,
I will deliver them .
*
But the king spared Jonathan '
s son Mephibosheth the son of Saul because of the oath of Jehovah that was between them ,
between David and Jonathan ,
the son of Saul .
*
And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ,
whom she bore to Saul ,
Armoni and Mephibosheth .
And he took the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul ,
whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite .
*
And he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites .
And they exposed them in the mountain before Jehovah .
And the seven fell together .
And they were executed in the days of harvest ,
in the first days ,
in the beginning of barley harvest .
*
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and stretched it out for herself on the rock ,
from the beginning of harvest until water poured on them out of the heavens .
And she did not allow a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day nor the beast of the field by night .
*
And that which Rizpah the daughter of Aiah ,
Saul '
s concubine ,
had done was told to David .
*
And David went and took the bones of Saul ,
and the bones of his son Jonathan from the rulers of Jabesh-gilead ,
who had stolen them from the plaza of Beth-shan ,
there where the Philistines hanged them in the day the Philistines struck Saul in Gilboa .
*
And he brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from there ,
and they gathered up the bones of those hanged .
*
And they buried the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin ,
in Zelah ,
in the burying place of his father Kish ,
and did all that the king had commanded .
And afterward God heard prayer for the land .
*
And again the Philistines warred with Israel .
And David went down ,
and his servants with him .
And they fought with the Philistines .
And David was weary .
*
And Ishbibenob ,
who was of the sons of Rapha the giant ,
the weight of his spear being three hundred bronze shekels in weight ,
and was girded with a new sword ,
even he said to strike David .
*
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him ,
and struck the Philistine ,
and killed him .
Then the men of David swore to him ,
saying ,
You shall not again go out with us to battle ,
that you not put out the lamp of Israel .
*
And it happened after this that the battle was again in Gob of the Philistines .
Then Sibbechai the Hushathite struck Saph ,
who was among the sons of Rapha .
*
And again the battle was in Gob with the Philistines ,
and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck Goliath the Gittite ,
and the wood of his spear was like a weaver '
s beam .
*
And again the battle was in Gath ,
and there was a man of stature ,
and the fingers of his hands were six ,
and the fingers of his feet six ,
twenty four in number .
And he also had been born to Rapha .
*
And he cursed Israel ;
and Jonathan ,
the son of David '
s brother Shimeah ,
struck him .
*
These four here born to Rapha the giant in Gath .
And they fell by the hand of David ,
by the hand of his servants .
*
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies ,
and out of the hand of Saul .
*
And he said :
Jehovah is my rock and my fortress ,
and my Deliverer .
*
My God is my rock ;
I shall take refuge in Him ;
my shield ,
and the horn of my salvation ,
my high tower ,
and my refuge !
My Savior ,
You shall save me from violence .
*
I call on Jehovah ,
the One to be praised ;
and I shall be saved from my enemies .
*
When the waves of death surround me ,
the floods of the ungodly terrify me ,
*
the cords of Sheol are all around me ,
the snares of death confronted me
*
in my distress I called on Jehovah ,
and I called to my God .
And He heard my voice from His temple ,
and my cry was in His ears .
*
And the earth shook and trembled ,
the foundations of the heavens were troubled ,
and were shaken ;
for He was angry .
*
Smoke rose up in His nostrils ,
and fire devoured out of His mouth ;
coals were kindled by it .
*
And He bowed the heavens and came down ,
and thick darkness was under His feet .
*
And He rode on a cherub ,
and did fly ,
and was seen on the wings of the wind .
*
And He made darkness pavilions all around Him ,
the gathering of waters ,
thick clouds of the skies .
*
From the brightness before Him were brands of fire kindled !
*
Jehovah thundered from the heavens ,
and the Most High gave forth His voice .
*
And He sent forth arrows and scattered them ;
lightning ,
and troubled them ;
*
and the channels of the sea appeared ;
the world '
s foundations were revealed by the rebuke of Jehovah ,
from the blast of the breath of His nostrils .
*
He sent from above ;
He took me ;
He drew me out of many waters .
*
He delivered me from my strong enemy ,
from those who hated me ;
for they were stronger than I .
*
They confronted me in the day of my calamity ,
and Jehovah was my support ;
*
and He brought me out to a large place ;
He delivered me ,
for He delighted in me .
*
Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness ;
according to the cleanness of my hands ,
He has repaid me .
*
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah ,
and have not acted wickedly against my God .
*
For all His judgments were before me .
As to His statutes ,
I did not turn away from them .
*
And I was blameless before Him ,
and I kept myself from my iniquity .
*
And Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness ,
according to my cleanness in His eyes .
*
With the faithful You shall show Yourself faithful ;
with the upright man ,
You will show Yourself upright .
*
With the pure ,
You will show Yourself pure ,
and with the perverted You will appear perverse .
*
And You shall save the afflicted people ,
and Your eyes are on the haughty ,
whom You bring low .
*
For You are my lamp ,
O Jehovah ;
and Jehovah shall light up my darkness .
*
For by You I have run through a troop ;
by my God I have leaped over a wall .
*
As for God ,
His way is perfect ;
the word of Jehovah is tested ;
He is a shield to all those who seek refuge in Him .
*
For who is God except Jehovah ?
And who is a rock except our God ?
*
God is my strong fortress ;
and He sets the blameless free in his way ,
*
making my feet like hinds '
feet ,
even causing me to stand on my high places ;
*
teaching my hands for battle ,
so that my hands may bend a bow of bronze .
*
And You have given to me the shield of Your salvation ;
and Your condescension has made me great .
*
You have enlarged my steps under me ,
and my feet have not slipped .
*
I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them ;
and I did not turn until they were consumed .
*
And I consumed them ,
and struck them ,
and they did not rise ;
but fell under my feet .
*
Yea ,
You girded me with might for battle ;
You caused those rising against me to bow under me .
*
And You gave to me the necks of my enemies ;
those hating me I silenced .
*
They looked ,
and there was none to save ;
to Jehovah ,
and He did not answer them .
*
And I beat them as the dust of the earth ;
I crushed them small as the mire of the streets ;
I spread them out .
*
And You delivered me from the strivings of my people ;
You kept me as the head of the nations ;
a people I have not known served me .
*
The sons of strangers submit to me ;
at the hearing of the ear they listen to me .
*
Thee sons of strangers fade away ,
and shall come trembling out of their strongholds .
*
Jehovah lives !
And blessed is the rock of my salvation .
*
He is God who is giving vengeance for me ,
and brings down peoples under me ,
*
and brings me forth from my enemies ;
yea ,
You raise me up above those rising up against me ;
You deliver me from the violent man .
*
On account of this I will confess You ,
Jehovah ,
among nations .
and I will sing praise to Your name .
*
A tower of salvation is He to His king ;
even doing mercy to His anointed ,
to David and to his seed ,
until forever !
*
And these are the last words of David ,
the saying of David the son of Jesse ,
and the saying of the man raised on high ,
the anointed of the God of Jacob ,
and the sweet singer of Israel :
*
The Spirit of Jehovah has spoken by me ,
and His Word is on my tongue .
*
The God of Israel said ,
the Rock of Israel spoke to me :
One ruling over man righteously ,
who rules in the fear of God ,
*
is as the light of the morning ,
as the sun shines ;
a morning without clouds ;
through shining after rain the tender grass sprouts from the earth .
*
For is not my house so with God ?
For He has made an everlasting covenant with me ,
ordered in all things ,
and sure ;
for all my salvation ,
and all my desire ,
will He not make it grow ?
*
As to the ungodly ,
all of them shall be as a thorn driven away ;
for they cannot be taken by the hand ;
*
but the man who shall touch them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear ;
they shall be utterly burned with fire in their place .
*
These are the names of the mighty ones who were called to David :
Josheb-basshebeth the Tachmonite ,
chief of the three .
He was called Adino the Eznite ,
because of the eight hundred he killed at one time .
*
And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo ,
the son of Ahohite .
He was of the three mighty men with David when they taunted the Philistines ,
when they were gathered there to battle ;
and the men of Israel went up ;
*
he rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary ,
and his hand clung to the sword .
And Jehovah worked a great salvation on that day ,
and the people returned after him only to plunder .
*
And next was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite .
And the Philistines had gathered into a company ,
and there was a piece of ground full of lentils ,
and the people had fled before the Philistines .
*
And he set himself in the midst of the plot ,
and delivered it ,
and struck the Philistines .
And Jehovah worked out a great salvation .
*
And three of the thirty commanders went down and came to the harvest ,
to David ,
to the cave of Adullam .
And the company of the Philistines was camping in the Valley of the Giants .
*
And David was then in a stronghold ,
and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem .
*
And David longed ,
and said ,
Who shall give me drink from the water of the well of Bethlehem beside the gate ?
*
And the three mighty ones cut through the camp of the Philistines ,
and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem beside the gate ,
and took it up ,
and brought it to David .
But he was not willing to drink it ,
and poured it out to Jehovah ;
*
and said ,
Far be it from me ,
O Jehovah ,
to do this ;
is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives ?
And he was not willing to drink it .
The three mighty ones did these things .
*
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah ,
the brother of Joab ,
was the commander of three .
And he raised up his spear against three hundred ,
and killed them .
And he had the name among the three .
*
Surely he was honored more than the three ?
And he was the commander to them ,
but he did not come to the first three .
*
And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada from Kabzeel ,
a son of a mighty man ,
great in deeds ;
he killed two lionlike men of Moab .
And he went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a day of snow .
*
And he killed an Egyptian ,
a man of form ;
and a spear was in the Egyptian '
s hand ;
and he went down to him with a staff and tore away the spear from the Egyptian '
s hand ,
and killed him with his own spear .
*
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things ,
and had a name among three mighty ones .
*
He was more honored than the thirty ,
but he did not come to the first three .
And David set him over his guard .
*
Asahel the brother of Joab was of the thirty ;
Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem ;
*
Shammah the Harodite ;
Elika the Harodite ;
*
Helez the Paltite ;
Ira the son of Ikkesh ,
the Tekoite ;
*
Abiezer the Anathothite ;
Mebunnai the Hushathite ;
*
Zalmon the Ahohite ;
Maharai the Netophathite ;
*
Heleb the son of Baanah ,
a Netophathite ;
Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah ,
of the sons of Benjamin ;
*
Benaiah the Pirathonite ;
Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash ;
*
Abialbon the Arbathite ;
Azmaveth the Barhumite ;
*
Eliahba the Shaalbonite ,
of the sons of Jashen ;
Jonathan ;
*
Shammah the Hararite ;
Ahiam the son of Sharar ,
the Hararite ;
*
Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai ,
the son of the Maachathite ;
Eliam the son of Ahithophel ,
the Gilonite ;
*
Hezrai the Carmelite ;
Paarai the Arbite ;
*
Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah ;
Bani the Gadite ;
*
Zelek the Ammonite ;
Naharai the Beerothite ,
armor-bearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah ;
*
Ira the Ithrite ;
Gareb ,
an Ithrite ;
*
Uriah the Hittite ;
thirty seven in all .
*
And again the anger of Jehovah glowed against Israel ,
and moved David against them ,
to say ,
Go ,
number Israel and Judah .
*
And the king said to Joab ,
the commander of the army with him ,
Go now to and fro through all the tribes of Israel ,
from Dan even to Beersheba ,
and number the people ,
that I may know the number of the people .
*
And Joab said to the king ,
Yea ,
may Jehovah your God add to the people ,
however many they may be ,
a hundredfold .
And may the eyes of my lord the king see it .
But why does my lord the king delight in this thing ?
*
But the word of the king prevailed against Joab ,
and against the army commanders .
And Joab and the army commanders went out from the presence of the king to number the people of Israel .
*
And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer ,
on the right of the city ,
in the middle of the Valley of Gad ,
and to Jazer .
*
And they came into Gilead ,
and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi .
And they came to Dan-jaan ,
and around to Sidon .
*
And they came into the fortress of Tyre ,
and all the cities of the Hivite ,
and of the Canaanite .
And they went out to the south of Judah ,
to Beersheba .
*
And they went to and fro through all the land ,
and came in to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days .
*
And Joab gave the count from the numbering of the people to the king .
And Israel was eight hundred thousand mighty men drawing sword ;
and the men of Judah five hundred thousand men .
*
And after he had numbered the people ,
the heart of David struck him .
And David said to Jehovah ,
I have sinned greatly in that which I have done .
And now ,
O Jehovah ,
I pray ,
take away the iniquity of your servant ,
for I have acted very foolishly .
*
And David rose up in the morning ;
and the word of Jehovah came to Gad the prophet ,
David '
s seer ,
saying ,
*
Go and you shall speak to David ,
So says Jehovah ,
I am setting up three things for you ;
you choose one of them and I will do it for you .
*
And Gad came in to David and told him ,
and said to him ,
Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land ?
Or shall you flee before your foes three months ,
and they pursue you ?
Or shall three days '
plague come into your land ?
Now consider ,
and see what I shall take back to Him who sent word to me .
*
And David said ,
Because of this I am in great distress .
Let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah ,
for many are His mercies ;
and do not let me fall into the hand of man .
*
And Jehovah sent a plague on Israel from the morning even to the time appointed .
And from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand of the people died .
*
And the angel put forth his hand to Jerusalem ,
to destroy it .
And Jehovah repented as to the evil ,
and said to the angel who was destroying among the people ,
Enough !
Now drop your hand .
And the angel of Jehovah was near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite .
*
And when he saw the angel who was striking among the people ,
David spoke to Jehovah and said ,
Behold ,
I have sinned .
Yea ,
I have acted perversely .
And these ,
the flock ,
what have they done ?
Now let your hand be on me ,
and on my father '
s house .
*
And Gad came in to David on that day and said to him ,
Go up ,
raise up an altar to Jehovah in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite .
*
And David went up according to Gad '
s word ,
as Jehovah commanded .
*
And Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants crossing over to him .
And Araunah went out and bowed himself to the king ,
his face to the earth .
*
And Araunah said ,
Why has my lord the king come to his servant ?
And David said ,
To buy the threshing-floor from you ,
in order to build an altar to Jehovah ;
and the plague will be stayed from the people .
*
And Araunah said to David ,
Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his eyes .
Behold ,
the oxen for a burnt offering ,
and the threshing instruments ,
and the yokes of the oxen for wood .
*
O king ,
all these Araunah gives to the king .
And Araunah said to the king ,
May Jehovah your God accept you .
*
And the king said to Araunah ,
No ,
for I will surely buy from you for a price ,
and I will not offer to Jehovah my God burnt offerings for nothing .
And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver .
*
And David built an altar there to Jehovah ,
and offered burnt offering and peace offerings .
And Jehovah was entreated for the land ;
and the plague was stayed from Israel .
