And the commanders of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

Who is as the wise? And who knows the explanation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the strength of his face is changed.

And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the right time?

Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is a son of worthlessness, that no one can speak to him.

His enemies will I clothe with shame, but his crown shall sparkle.

And many of those sleeping in the earth's dust shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting abhorrence.

But you have turned aside out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the Law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says Jehovah of Hosts.

So I have also made you despised and low before all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in the Law.

saying, I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to it.

And he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
