Amos 1:4—2:5
4.
And I will send a
fire on the house of Azael, and it shall devour the foundations of the son of
Ader. 5. “And I will break to pieces the bars of
Damascus, and will destroy the inhabitants out of the plain of On (Ono
(Hebrew: אונו) was a biblical town of Benjamin in the
"plain of Ono" (1 Chron.
8:12; Ezra 2:33). And will cut in pieces a tribe out of the men of Charrian:
and the famous people of Syria shall be led captive,” saith the Lord.
6. “Thus” saith the Lord; “For three sins of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away from them;
because they took prisoners the captivity of Solomon, to shut them up into Idumea.”
7. “And I will send forth
a fire on the walls of Gaza, and it shall devour its
foundations.” 8. “And I will destroy the inhabitants out
of Azotus (see map), and a tribe
shall be cut off from Ascalon, and I will stretch out My hand upon Accaron: (to extend something excessively so that the
shape is permanently altered, or be extended in this way) and the remnant of the Philistines shall
perish,” saith the Lord. 9. “Thus” saith
the Lord; “For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn away
from it; because they shut up the prisoners of Solomon into Idumea, and
remembered not the covenant of brethren.” 10. “And I will send forth a
fire on the walls of Tyre, and it shall devour the foundations of it.” 11.
Thus saith the Lord; “For three sins of Idumea, and
for four, I will not turn away from 
them; because they pursued their brother
with the sword, and destroyed the mother upon the earth, and summoned up his
anger for a testimony, and
kept up his fury to the end.”
12. “And I will send forth a fire upon Thaman, and it shall devour the
foundations of her walls.” 13. Thus saith the Lord; “For three sins of the
children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away from him; because they
ripped up the woman with child of the Galaadites (A branch of the tribe of Manasseh), that they might widen their coasts.” 14.
“And I will kindle a fire on the walls of Rabbath, and it shall devour her
foundations with shouting in the day of the war, and she shall be shaken (earthquake) in the days of her destruction:” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammon
15.
“and her kings shall go into captivity, their priests and their rulers
together,” saith the Lord.
2:1
Thus saith the Lord; “For three sins of Moab, and for four, I will not turn
away from it; because they burnt the bones of the king of Idumea (see
map) to lime.” 2:2 “But I will send forth a fire on
Moab, and it shall devour the foundations of its cities: and Moab shall
perish in weakness, with a shout and with the sound of a trumpet.” 2:3 “And
I will destroy the judge out of her, and slay all her princes with him,”
saith the Lord. 2:4 Thus saith the Lord: “For three sins of the children of
Juda, and for four, I will not turn away from him: because they have rejected the law of the Lord, and have not kept
His ordinances, and their vain idols which they made, which their fathers
followed, caused them to err.”
5. And I will send a fire on Juda, and it
shall devour the foundations of Jerusalem, http://www.godsplan.org.uk/housesofisrael.htm http://www.godsplan.org.uk/secondadvent.htm
Amos 2:6—3:10
2:6 Thus saith the Lord; “For
three sins of Israel, and for four http://godsplan.org.uk/fulltentribes.htm, I will not turn away from him; because they sold the righteous
for silver (crucifixion), and the poor for sandals,” 2:7 “wherewith to tread on the dust of the earth, and they
have smitten upon the heads of the poor, and have perverted the way of the
lowly:and a son and his father have gone in to the same maid, that they might profane
the name of their God (showing disrespect for
God,). 2:8 “And binding their clothes with cords they have made
them curtains near the altar, and they have drunk winegained by extortion in
the house of their God. 2:9 “Nevertheless I cut off the
Amorite from before them, whose height was as the height of a cedar (120 feet 36.576 meters), and he was strong as an oak; and I dried
up his fruit from above, and roots from beneath.” 2:10 “And I brought you
(our parents) up out of the land of
Egypt, and led you about in the desert forty years, that ye should inherit
the land of the Amorites.” 2:11 “And I took up your sons for prophets, and
of your young men for consecration. Are not these things so, ye sons of
Israe?” Saith the Lord.
2:12 “But ye gave the consecrated wine to
drink; and ye commanded the prophets, saying, ‘Prophesy not.’” 2:11 “Therefore, behold, I roll under (over) you, as a wagon full of straw is rolled.”
2:14 “And flight shall perish from the runner, and the strong shall not
hold fast his strength, and the warrior shall not save his life:” 2:15
“and the archer shall not withstand, and he that is swift of foot shall no wise
escape; and the horseman will not save his life.” 2:15 “And the
strong shall find no confidence in power: the naked shall flee away in that
day,” saith the Lord.
3:1 “Hear ye this word, O
house of Israel, which the Lord has spoken concerning you, and against the
whole family whom I brought up out of the land of Egypt,” saying,
3:2 “You especially have I
known out of all the families of the earth: therefore will I take vengeance
upon you for all your sins.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/secondadvent.htm
3:3 “Shall two walk
together at all, if they do not know one another?
3:4 “Will a lion roar out
of his thicket if he has no prey?” “will a lions whelp utter his voice
at all out of his lair, if he have taken nothing?”
3:5 “Will a bird fall on
the earth without a fowler (trapper)?” “will a snare be taken
up from the earth without having taken anything?”
3:6 “Shall the trumpet (siren) sound in
the city, and the people not be alarmed?” “shall there be evil in a city which the
Lord has not wrought (foretold)?
3:7 “For the Lord God
will do nothing, without revealing His instructions to his servants the
prophets.”
3:8 “A lion shall roar (Lion of Juda),
and who will not be alarmed? The Lord God has spoken,
and who will not prophesy?” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/jehovah%27sword.htm
3:9 “Proclaim it to the
regions among the Assyrians, and to the regions of Egypt, and say, “Gather
yourselves to the mountain of Samaria, and behold many wonderful things in
the midst of it, and the oppression that is in it, 3:10 “And she knew not what things would come against her,”
saith the Lord, ‘even those that store up wrong
and misery in their countries.’”

passage is for today; as well as historical. http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Bereshith.htm

Amos 3:11—4:12
3:11 “Therefore, thus’ saith the Lord God; ‘O Tyre, thy land shall be made
desolate round about thee; and He http://www.godsplan.org.uk/secondadvent.htm shall bring down thy strength out of thee, and thy cuntries shall be
spoiled.’” 3:12 “Thus saith the Lord;
“As when a shepherd rescues from the mouth of a lion two legs or a piece of an
ear, so shall be drawn forth the children of Israel who dwell in Samaria in the presence
of a foreign tribe,and in Damascus.” 3:13 “Hear, O ye priests, and testify to the house of Jacob,” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Lineage3.htm ,“ saith the Lord God Almighty. 3:14 “For in the day wherein I shall
take vengeance of the sins of Israel upon him, I will also take vengeance on
the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be broken down,and they
shall fall upon the ground.” 3:15 “I will crush and smite the turreted house
upon the summer house; and the ivory hous shall be destroyed, and many other
houses also,” saith the Lord. 4:1 “Hear ye this word, ye heifers of the
land of Basan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bashan that are in the mountains of Samaria, that oppress the poor and trample on the needy, which say to 
their
master, ‘Give us that we may drink.’” 4:2 The Lord swears by His holiness that,
“behold, the days come upon you, when they shall take you with weapons, and
fiery destroyers shall cast those with you into boiling cauldrons.” 4:3
“And ye shall be brought forthnaked in the presence of each other; and ye
shall be cast forth on the mountain Romman,” saith the Lord. 4:4 “Ye
went into Bethel, and sinned, and ye multiplied sin at Galgala https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galgala_campaign ; and ye
brought your meat offerings in the morning, and your tithes every third day.”
4:5 “And they read the law without [outside], and called for public
professions: proclaim aloud that the children
of Israel have loved these things,” saith the
Lord. 4:6 “And I will give you dullness of teeth in all your cities, and want
of bread in all your places: yet ye returned not to Me.” saith the Lord.
4:7 “Also I withheld from you the rain three months before the harvest:and I
will rain upon one city, and on another day I will not rain: one part shall be
rained upon, and the part on which I shall not rain shall be dried up.
4:8 “And the inhabitants
of two or three cities shall be gathered to one city to drink water, and
they shall not be satisfied: yet ye have not returned to Me,” saith the
Lord. 4:9 “I smote you with parching [dried out] and blight [something
that spoils or damages things severely]: ye
multiplied your gardens, your
vineyards, and your fig grounds, and the cankerworm devoured your olive yards: yet
not even [all thus this] did [make] ye return to Me,” saith
the Lord. 4:10 “I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt , and slew
your young men with the sword, together with thy horses that were taken
captive; and in My wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even
thus did ye return to Me,” saith the Lord. 4:11 “I overthrew you, as [High}
God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha and ye became a brand that was plucked
out of the fire: yet not even thus did ye return to Me.” Saith the Lord
[Elohim].

4:12 “Therefore thus will I do to thee,
O Israel: nay because I will do thus to thee, prepare to call on thy God, O
Israel.”
This is to
emphasise why the second coming will be so severe; those who have taken no
notice to the weather, disease, drought &c, which God has explaned
perfectly; carry on regardless putting their faith in man to sort out their problems; instead of God. Unfortunately: they will deserve what is coming because of it. http://www.godsplan.org.uk/wheredowego%20.htm
Amos 4:13—5:27
4:13 “For, behold, I am He that strengthens the thunder, and
creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and moumting on the high places of
the earth, The Lord God Almighty is His name.”
5:1 “ Hear ye this word of the Lord, even a lamentation, which I take
up against you. The house of Israel is fallen; it shall no more rise.
(Samaria see map above. This is the place after
the civil war of Israel, see Jereboam and Rehaboam link.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehoboam 5:2 “The virgin of Israel has fallen upon his land; there is none
that shall raise her up.” 5:3 “Therefore thus’ saith the Lord God; ‘The city out of which there went forth a thousand, in it there shall
be left a hundred, and in that out of which there went forth a hundred,
there shall be left ten to the house of Israel.’” http://godsplan.org.uk/fulltentribes.htm 5:4 “Wherefore thus’ saith the Lord to the house of Israel, ‘Seek ye Me, and ye shall live.’” 5:5 “But seek not Bӕthel (a place that is regarded as sacred
or holy), and go not into Galgala,
and cross not over to the Well of the Oath: for Galgala shall surely go into
captivity and Bӕthel shall be as that which is not.”
5:6 “Seek ye the Lord, an ye shall live; lest the house
of Joseph blaze as fire, and it devour him, and there will be none to
quench it for the house of Israel.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/seekingGod.htm http://godsplan.org.uk/persecution.htm
5:7 “It is He that executes
judgement in the height above, and He
has established justice on the earth:”
5:8 “who makes all things, and
changes them, and turns darkness into
the morning, and darkens the day into night: whoo calls for the water of the
sea, and pours it out on the face of the earth: The Lord is His name.”
5:9 “who dispenses ruin to strength, and brings distress on the upon
the fortress.” 5:10 “They hated Him that reproved in the gates, and
abhorred holy speech.” 5:11 “Therefore because they have smitten the poor
with their fists, and ye have received of them choice gifts; ye have built
polished houses, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted dsirable
vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine of them. 5:12 “For I know your
many transgressions, and your sins are great, trampling on the just, taking
bribes, and turning aside the
judgement of the poor in the gates.” 5:13 “Therefore the prudent
shall be silent at that time; for it is a time of evils. 5:14 “Seek good,
and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord God Almighty shall be with as
we have said,” 5:15 “We have hated evil, and loved good: and restore ye
judgement in the gates; that the Lord God
Almighty may have mercy on the remnant of Joesph.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Bereshith.htm
5:16 “Therefore thus saith the
Lord God Almighty; “In all the streets shall be lamentations; and in all the
ways shall it be said, ‘Woe, woe! The husbandmen shall be called to mourning
and lamentation, and to them that are skilled in complaining.’” 5:17 “And there shall be lamentationin all
the ways; because I will pass through the midst of thee.” saith the Lord.
5:18 “Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is
this day of the Lord to you? Whereas it is darkness and light.” 5:19 “As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a
bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands
upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.” (Not your day is it?) 5:20 “Is not the Day of the
Lord darkness, and not a light? And is this day gloom without brightness?” 5:21 “I hate, I reject your feasts, and I will not smell your meat
offerings in your general assemblies.” 5:22 “Wherefore if ye should bring
Me whole burnt sacrifices and meat offerings, I will not accept them:
neither will I have respect to your grand peace offerings, I will not accept
them: neither will I have respect to your grand peace offerings.” 5:23 “Remove
from Me the sound of thy songs, and I will not hear the music of thine
instruments. 6:24 “But let judgement roll down as water,and righteousness
as an impassible torrent.” 5:25 “Have ye offered to Me victims and
sacrifices, O house of Israel, forty years in the wilderness.” (Here is a simile: from the
earthly land which those who wish to hang on to (e.g. Egypt); to those today
who wish to tenaciously, hold on to this fallen earth and all its aberrations:
or follow Jehovah in faith, to the spiritual world to come). http://www.godsplan.org.uk/secondadvent.htm

6:2 “O house of Israel, pass by all of you, and see; and pass by
thence to Emmat Rabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Phillistines,
and chief of all these kingdoms, see if there coasts are greater
than your coasts.”
6:3 “Ye who are approaching the evil
day (day of the Lord), who are
drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;” 6:4 “who
sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicateley on their couches, and eat kids
out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;” (wiener schnitzel: springs to
mind.) 6:5 “who excel in the sound of
musical instruments; they have regarded them as abiding not as fleeting pleasures;” 6:6 “who drink
strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment: and have
suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Lineage4.htm
6:7 “Therefore now shall they
depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of
horses shall be cut off from Ephraim. (uk).” Zechariah 9:10 (KJV) “And I will
cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and
the battle bow shall be cut off: and He shall speak peace unto the heathen:
and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the
ends of the earth.”
6:8 “For the Lord has sworn by Himself, saying, “Because
I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut
off his city with all who inhabit it.” 6:9 And it shall come to
pass, “if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die” 6:10 “But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take
them, and shall strenuously endevour to carry forth their bones from the house:
and one shall say to the heads o9f the house, “Is there yet anyone else with
thee?” 6:11 And he shall say, “No one else.” And the other shall say, “Be silent, that thou
name not the name of the Lord.” 6:12 “For behold, the Lord
commands, and He will smite the great house with breaches, (Judah) and the little house with rents.” (Ben) 6:13 “Will horses run upon rocks? Will
they refrain from neighing at mares? For ye have turned judgement into poison,
and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:” 6:14
“ye who rejoice at vanity, who say, “Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?”
6:15 “For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up
against you a nation, saith the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so
that ye shall not enter into Ӕmath, and as it were from the river of the
wilderness.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/bibleprophecytheend.htm
Numbers 13:22,33 (KJV) Ӕmath
22 “And they ascended by the south, and came
unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were.
(Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)”
33 “And there we saw the giants, the sons of
Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.”
7:1 “Thus has the Lord God showed me; and behold a swarm of locusts coming
from the east; and, behold,one caterpillar, king Gog (Gog and Magog together are the hostile
nations of the world).” 7:2 “And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the
land, that I said “Lord God, be merciful:who shall raise up Jacob?for he is
small in number.” 7:3 “Repent, O Lord for this.” ‘And this shall not be.’”
Saith the Lord. 7:4 “Thus has the Lord
showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgement by fire, and it devoured
the great deep, and devoured the Lord’s portion.”
2 Peter 3:11-12 (KJV)
11 “Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved,
what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,”
12 “Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall
melt with fervent heat?”
7:5 Then I said, “O Lord, cease I pray Thee: Who shall
raise up Jacob? For he is small in number.Repent, O Lord, for this. 7:6 “This also shall not be,” saith the Lord.” 7:7 “Thus the Lord shewed me; and behold, He stood upon a
wall of adamant, and in His hand was an adamant” (very determined and not influenced by appeals to
reconsider a position or decision). “An adamant is an imaginary stone of impenetrable
hardness. Historically, the word applied to actual stones (and other
substances) believed to be impenetrable; in the 17th century the word was used
as a synonym of diamond. The noun adamant comes from a Latin word meaning
"material of extreme hardness,
diamond." 7:8 And the Lord said to me,
“What seest thou, Amos?” And I said, ‘An adamant’” And the Lord said to me,
“Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of My people Israel: I will not pass
by them anymore.” (It is extremely important to understand all this; Israel is the ten
tribes with Ephraim (UK)
being the one who was blessed http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Lineage4.htm
7:9 “And the joyful altars
shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and
I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. 7:10 “Then
Amasias the priest of Bethelsent to Jereboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos is forming conspiracies against thee in the midst
of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.”
7:11 For thus says Amos. “Jereboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall
be led away captive from his land.” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Lineage8.htm (The rest of the acts of
Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the
book of Chronicles (KJV) of the
kings of Israel.) 7:12 And Amasias said to Amos, “Go, seer, remove thou into the
land of Juda, and live there, and thou shalt prophesy there.” 7:13 “but thou shalt no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it
is the kings sanctuaty, and it is the royal house.” 7:14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, “ I was not a prophet, nor
the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore
fruits.” 7:15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, “Go, and prophesy to My
people Israel.” 7:16 “ And now hear the word of the Lord: ‘Thou
sayest, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult (noisy commotion)
against the house of Jacob.’”
7:17 Therefore thus saith the the Lord (too Amasias); “
Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall
fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured with the line;and thou shalt
die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land [to
Assyria]. ‘Thus the Lord God shewed me.’”
8:1 “And behold a fowler’s (trapper) basket.” 8:2 And He said, “What seest thou, Amos?” ‘And I said a fowlers
basket.’ And the Lord said to me, ‘The end is come upon My peop0le Israel; I
will not pass by them anymore.’”
8:3 “And the ceilings of the temple shall howl in that day,” saith the Lord God: “there shall be many a fallen one in every place; I
will bring silence upon them.” http://godsplan.org.uk/brexit.htm
EPHRAIM (UK) – JUDAH --MANASSEH
(USA)
The response
of Israel was one of rebellion and a desire for independence. Since the king
had refused to look out for their interests, they would now look out for their
own interests. Accordingly, they chose for themselves Jeroboam to be their
king. Only the tribe of Judah and Benjamin would remain under the rulership of
the house of David. The (other 10 tribes) Israelites then went north of Judah
to Samaria where they would visit Judah to celebrate the Holy Day statutes.
http://godsplan.org.uk/fulltentribes.htm
Jeroboam was
afraid of these visits lest his people failed to return from Judah, and so
Jeroboam ordered two calves of gold be made. Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the
LORD God of Israel, “Forasmuch as I exalted you from among the People, and made
you prince over My People Israel, And rent the kingdom away from the house of
David, and gave it you: yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My
commandments, and who followed Me with all his heart, to do that only which was
right in mine eyes; But has done evil above all that is before you: for you
have gone and made other gods, and molten images, to provoke Me to anger, and
has cast Me behind your back: Therefore, behold, I will bring evil on the house
of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisses against the wall,
and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of
the house of Jeroboam, as a man takes away dung until it be all gone. http://www.godsplan.org.uk/housesofisrael.htm
Amos 8:4—9:6
8:4 “Hear now this, ye that oppress the poor in the morning, and drive the
needy ones by tyranny from the earth, 9:5 saying, “When will the month
pass away, and we shall sell, and the sabbath, and we shall open the treasure, to make the measure small, and to enlarge the
weight, and make the balance unfair.” 8:6 “That we may buy the
poor for silver, and the needy for shoes; and we will trade in every kind of
fruit.” 8:7 The Lord swears against the
pride of Jacob, “None of your works shall ever be forgotten.” 8:8 “And shall not the land be troubled for these
things, and shall not everyone who lives in it mourn? Whereas destruction shall
come up as a river,and shall descend as the river of Egypt.”
8:9 “And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
Lord God, ‘that the sun shall go down
at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day:’” 8:10 “and I will turn your
feasts into mourning. And all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up
sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make them as the
mourning of a beloved friend, and
those with them as a day of grief.” 8:11 “Behold, the days come,’
saith the Lord, ‘that I will send forth a famine on the land, not a famine of
bread, nor a thirst for water,but a famine of hearing the word
of the Lord.’” http://www.godsplan.org.uk/apostasytogodskingdom.htm 8:12 “And the waters shall be troubled from from sea to sea, and from
the north to the east shall men run hither and thither, seeking the word of the Lord, and they shall not find it.” 8:13 “In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst:
8 14 “they who swear by the propitation (the action of propitiating or appeasing a god,
atonement, especially that of Jesus Christ.) of Samaria, and who say, “Thy god O Dan
lives; and, ‘Thy god, O Bersabee (Beersheba), lives; and they shall fall, and
shall no more rise again.’” (Bersabee:
biblical town of southern Israel, now a city and the main centre of the Negev
(ha-Negev) region. Beersheba is first mentioned as the site where Abraham,
founder of the Jewish people, made a covenant with the Philistine king
Abimelech of Gerar Genesis 21 (KJV)
01 And the Lord
visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken.
02 For Sarah
conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which
God had spoken to him.
03 And Abraham
called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
http://www.godsplan.org.uk/Lineage3.htm
04 And Abraham
circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
05 And Abraham
was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
06 And Sarah said,
God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
07 And she said,
Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?
for I have born him a son in his old age.
08 And the child
grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac
was weaned.
09 And Sarah
saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
10 Wherefore she
said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this
bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
11 And the thing
was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
12 And God said unto
Abraham, “Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and
because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto
her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.”
13 And also of
the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham
rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave
it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away:
and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water
was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went,
and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for
she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and
lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard
the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and
said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice
of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up
the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
19 And God opened
her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with
water, and gave the lad drink.
20 And God was
with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
21 And he dwelt
in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of
Egypt.
22 And it came to
pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host
spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
23 Now therefore
swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my
son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto
thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
24 And Abraham
said, I will swear.
25 And Abraham
reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had
violently taken away.
26 And Abimelech
said, I wot not who hath done this thing; neither didst thou tell me, neither
yet heard I of it, but to day.
27 And Abraham
took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a
covenant.
28 And Abraham set
seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 And Abimelech said
unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by
themselves?
30 And he said, For
these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness
unto me, that I have digged this well.
31 Wherefore
he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
32 Thus they made
a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain
of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
33 And Abraham
planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the
everlasting God.
34 And Abraham
sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.

Israel among all the Gentiles, as corn is sifted in a sieve, and yet a
