- a servant:
- The devoted nations, which God destroyed before Israel, were descended from Canaan, and so were the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, who were at length subjugated with dreadful destruction by the Greeks and Romans. The Africans, who have been bought and sold like beasts, were also his posterity. "Now¹ therefore ye¹ [are] cursed,ª° and there shall none¹ of¹ you be freedª° from being bondmen,ª and hewersª° of woodª and drawersª° of waterª for the houseª of my God.ª" {Jsh 9:23} + "And Joshuaª madeª° them that¹ dayª hewersª° of woodª and drawersª° of waterª for the congregation,ª and for the altarª of the LORD,ª even unto¹ this¹ day,ª in¹ the placeª which¹ he should choose.ª°" {Jsh 9:27} + "And it came to pass,¹ when¹ Israelª was strong,ª° that they putª°¹ the Canaanitesª to tribute,ª and did not¹ utterly²° drive them out.ª° ... Neither¹ did Zebulunª drive outª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of Kitron,ª nor the inhabitantsª° of Nahalol;ª but the Canaanitesª dweltª° amongª them, and became¹ tributaries.ª" {Jdg 1:28-30} + "[And] all¹ the peopleª [that were] leftª° of¹ the Amorites,ª Hittites,ª Perizzites,ª Hivites,ª and Jebusites,ª which¹ [were] not¹ of the childrenª¹ of Israel,ª ... Their childrenª that¹ were leftª° afterª them in the land,ª whom¹ the childrenª of Israelª also were not¹ ableª° utterly to destroy,ª° upon those did Solomonª levyª° a tribute² of bondserviceª°¹ unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {1Kg 9:20-21} + "[As for] all¹ the peopleª [that were] leftª° of¹ the Hittites,ª and the Amorites,ª and the Perizzites,ª and the Hivites,ª and the Jebusites,ª which¹ [were] not¹ of Israel,ª¹ ... [But] of¹ their children,ª who¹ were leftª° afterª them in the land,ª whom¹ the childrenª of Israelª consumedª° not,¹ them did Solomonª make to payª° tributeª until¹ this¹ day.ª" {2Ch 8:7-8} + "Jesusª answeredª° them,ª Verily,ª verily,ª I sayª° unto you,ª² Whosoeverª committethª° sinª isª° the servantª of sin.ª" {Jhn 8:34}
