But Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim;

and he made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

Then Jehu and Jehonadab the son of Rechab went into the temple of Baal, and said to the worshipers of Baal, "Search and see that no servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal."

"But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! [Even so,] God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow."

[There is] no wisdom or understanding Or counsel against the LORD.

" Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries. Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.

Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand, For God [is] with us."

Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, Let them come up.

Assemble and come, all you nations, And gather together all around. Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD.

Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; For the winepress is full, The vats overflow -- For their wickedness [is] great."

"He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.
