A Prayer of David.
1
 Bow down thine ear, O L
ORD
, hear me: for I
am
poor and needy.
2
 Preserve my soul; for I
am
holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3
 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4
 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
 For thou, Lord,
art
good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6
 Give ear, O L
ORD
, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7
 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8
 Among the gods
there is
none like unto thee, O Lord; neither
are there any works
like unto thy works.
9
 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10
 For thou
art
great, and doest wondrous things: thou
art
God alone.
11
 Teach me thy way, O L
ORD
; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12
 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13
 For great
is
thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14
 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent
men
have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15
 But thou, O Lord,
art
a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16
 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17
 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see
it,
and be ashamed: because thou, L
ORD
, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
9
 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10
 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised
is
wisdom.
1
 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel.
2
 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
3
 and goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
4
 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
5
 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was
thus:
even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-addar, unto Beth-horon the upper;
6
 and the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanath-shiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
7
 and it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
8
 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This
is
the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
9
 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim
were
among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
10
 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
17:
1
 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he
was
the firstborn of Joseph;
to wit,
for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
2
 There was also
a lot
for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these
were
the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
3
 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these
are
the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
4
 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The L
ORD
commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the L
ORD
he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
5
 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which
were
on the other side Jordan;
6
 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
7
 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that
lieth
before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
8
Â
Now
Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh
belonged
to the children of Ephraim;
9
 and the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim
are
among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also
was
on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
10
 southward
it was
Ephraim's, and northward
it was
Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11
 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns,
even
three countries.
12
 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out
the inhabitants of
those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
13
 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.
14
 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me
but
one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I
am
a great people, forasmuch as the L
ORD
hath blessed me hitherto?
15
 And Joshua answered them, If thou
be
a great people,
then
get thee up to the wood
country,
and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
16
 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,
both they
who
are
of Beth-shean and her towns, and
they
who
are
of the valley of Jezreel.
17
 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph,
even
to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou
art
a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot
only:
18
 but the mountain shall be thine; for it
is
a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots,
and
though they
be
strong.
18:
1
 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
2
 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
3
 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long
are
ye slack to go to possess the land, which the L
ORD
God of your fathers hath given you?
4
 Give out from among you three men for
each
tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come
again
to me.
5
 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
6
 Ye shall therefore describe the land
into
seven parts, and bring
the description
hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the L
ORD
our God.
7
 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the L
ORD
is
their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the L
ORD
gave them.
8
 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the L
ORD
in Shiloh.
9
 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came
again
to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
10
 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the L
ORD
: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
11
 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12
 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Beth-aven.
13
 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which
is
Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Ataroth-adar, near the hill that
lieth
on the south side of the nether Beth-horon.
14
 And the border was drawn
thence,
and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that
lieth
before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which
is
Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this
was
the west quarter.
15
 And the south quarter
was
from the end of Kirjath-jearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
16
 and the border came down to the end of the mountain that
lieth
before the valley of the son of Hinnom,
and
which
is
in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to En-rogel,
17
 and was drawn from the north, and went forth to En-shemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which
is
over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
18
 and passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
19
 and the border passed along to the side of Beth-hoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this
was
the south coast.
20
 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This
was
the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
21
 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and the valley of Keziz.
22
 And Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
23
 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
24
 and Chephar-haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
25
 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
26
 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
27
 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
28
 and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which
is
Jerusalem, Gibeath,
and
Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This
is
the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
