²⁷ and this `is' the thing `for' which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo -- he shut up the breach of the city of David his father,

²⁴ Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David unto her house that `Solomon' built for her; then he built Millo.

¹⁵ And this `is' the matter of the tribute that king Solomon hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer,

¹¹ In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old.

⁵ Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of Jehovah.

¹¹ O Jehovah, high `is' Thy hand -- they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire -- Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

⁹ And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower pool,

³² If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth!

² Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.

⁷ And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, that lengthening hath gone up to the walls of Jerusalem, that the breeches have begun to be stopped, then it is very displeasing to them,

²¹ The matter `is' not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim -- Sheba son of Bichri his name -- hath lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and I go away from the city.' And the woman saith unto Joab, `Lo, his head is cast unto thee over the wall.'

⁷ And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it `is' the city of David.
