以法莲的子孙带着兵器，拿着弓，临阵之日转身退后。

放縱無度詐偽不忠之輩、就像接戰之日乖張的弓一樣。

以法蓮的子孫是裝備好的弓箭手，但他們在戰鬥之日轉身而逃。

以法蓮裔持械執弓、臨戰卻退兮、

勿效以法蓮支派、備兵戈、執弓矢、臨戰而披靡兮、

以法蓮之後裔、如人持弓箭器械、臨陣之時、回身逃避、

法蓮子孫。攜弓手刃。臨陣之日。逡巡而遯。

“ Then you replied to me,‘ We have sinned against the Lord; we ourselves will go up and fight, just as the Lord our God commanded us.’ And every man of you strapped on his weapons of war, and you viewed it as easy to go up into the hill country.But the Lord said to me,‘ Say to them,“ Do not go up nor fight, for I am not among you; otherwise you will be defeated by your enemies.” ’So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. Instead, you rebelled against the command of the Lord, and acted presumptuously and went up into the hill country.And the Amorites who lived in that hill country came out against you and chased you as bees do, and they scattered you from Seir to Hormah.

So the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent; and the defeat was very great, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell.

The sons of Joseph then said,“ The hill country is not enough for us, but all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have iron chariots, both those who are in Beth shean and its towns and those who are in the Valley of Jezreel.”But Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying,“ You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,but the hill country shall be yours. For though it is a forest, you shall clear it, and to its farthest borders it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots and though they are strong.”

Then Gaal the son of Ebed said,“ Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is Zebul not his governor? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

Then Zebul said to him,“ Where then is your boasting with which you said,‘ Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?’ Is this not the people whom you rejected? Go out now and fight them!”So Gaal went out in the sight of the leaders of Shechem and fought Abimelech.But Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.

Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said,“ Undoubtedly they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”

But turned back and acted treacherously like their fathers; They turned aside like a treacherous bow.

Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from the Philistines but fell fatally wounded on Mount Gilboa.

But he said to Him,“ Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death!”

They were equipped with bows, using both the right hand and the left to sling stones and shoot arrows with the bow; they were Saul’s kinsmen from Benjamin.
