¹⁵ And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.

²⁰ Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.

³⁹ Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

²² Now the king was seated in the winter house, and a fire was burning in the fireplace in front of him.

¹¹ For see, at the order of the Lord the great house will be full of cracks and the little house will be broken.

⁹ The Lord of armies has said to me secretly, Truly, numbers of great and fair houses will be waste, with no one living in them.

⁸ Your robes are full of the smell of all sorts of perfumes and spices; music from the king's ivory houses has made you glad.

¹¹ For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
