deliver:
"The matterª [is] not¹ so:¹ but¹ a manª of mountª¹ Ephraim,ª Shebaª the sonª of Bichriª by name,ª hath lifted upª° his handª against the king,ª [even] against David:ª deliverª° him only,¹ and I will depart²°¹ from¹¹ the city.ª And the womanª saidª° unto¹ Joab,ª Behold,¹ his headª shall be thrownª° to¹ thee overª the wall.ª ... Then the womanª wentª° unto¹ all¹ the peopleª in her wisdom.ª And they cut offª°¹ the headª of Shebaª the sonª of Bichri,ª and cast²° [it] out¹ to¹ Joab.ª And he blewª° a trumpet,ª and they retiredª° from¹¹ the city,ª every manª to his tent.ª And Joabª returnedª° to Jerusalemª unto¹ the king.ª" {2Sm 20:21-22}
children of Belial:
"[Now] as they¹ were making their hearts² merry,ª°¹¹ behold,¹ the men²¹ of the city,ª certain²¹ sonsª of Belial,ª beset²° the house² round about,ª°¹¹ [and] beatª° at¹ the door,ª and spakeª° to¹ the masterª of the house,ª the old² man,²¹ saying,ª° Bring forthª°¹ the manª that¹ cameª° into¹ thine house,ª that we may knowª° him." {Jdg 19:22} + "[Certain] men,²¹ the childrenª of Belial,ª are gone outª° from amongª¹ you, and have withdrawnª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of their city,ª saying,ª° Let us go²°¹ and serveª° otherª gods,ª which¹ ye have not¹ known;ª°" {Deu 13:13} + "Then answeredª° all¹ the wickedª menª and [men] of Belial,ª of those²¹¹ that¹ wentª° with¹ David,ª and said,ª° Because¹¹ they wentª° not¹ with¹ us, we will not¹ giveª° them [ought] of the spoilª¹ that¹ we have recovered,ª° save¹¹ to every manª¹ his wifeª and his children,ª that they may lead [them] away,ª° and depart.²°¹" {1Sm 30:22} + "And there¹ happenedª° to be there a manª of Belial,ª whose nameª [was] Sheba,ª the sonª of Bichri,ª a Benjamite:ª and he blewª° a trumpet,ª and said,ª° We have no¹ partª in David,ª neither¹ have we inheritanceª in the sonª of Jesse:ª every² manª to his tents,ª O Israel.ª" {2Sm 20:1} + "But [the sons] of Belialª [shall be] all¹ of them as thornsª thrust away,ª° because¹ they cannot¹ be takenª° with hands:ª" {2Sm 23:6} + "And there came²° in¹ twoª men,²¹ childrenª of Belial,ª and satª° before¹ him: and the men²¹ of Belialª witnessed²° against¹ him, [even] against¹ Naboth,ª in the presence¹ of the people,ª saying,ª° Nabothª did blasphemeª° Godª and the king.ª Then they carried him forthª° out² of¹¹ the city,ª and stonedª° him with stones,ª that he died.ª°" {1Kg 21:13} + "And there are gatheredª° unto¹ him vainª men,²¹ the childrenª of Belial,ª and have strengthened²° themselves¹ against¹ Rehoboamª the sonª of Solomon,ª when Rehoboamª was¹ youngª and tenderhearted,ªª and could not¹ withstandª°¹ them.²" {2Ch 13:7}
put away:
"The handsª of the witnessesª shall be¹ firstª upon him to put him to death,ª° and afterwardª the handsª of all¹ the people.ª So thou shalt put²° the evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you." {Deu 17:7} + "And the manª that¹ will doª° presumptuously,ª and will not¹ hearkenª° unto¹ the priestª that standethª° to ministerª° there¹ before¹ the LORDª thy God,ª or¹ unto¹ the judge,ª° even that¹ manª shall die:ª° and thou shalt put awayª° the evilª from Israel.ª¹" {Deu 17:12} + "Then shall ye doª° unto him, as¹ he had thoughtª° to have doneª° unto his brother:ª so shalt thou put²° the evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you." {Deu 19:19} + "And all¹ the men²¹ of his cityª shall stoneª° him with stones,ª that he die:ª° so shalt thou put²° evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you; and all¹ Israelª shall hear,ª° and fear.ª°" {Deu 21:21} + "Then they shall bring outª°¹ the damselª to¹ the doorª of her father'sª house,ª and the men²¹ of her cityª shall stoneª° her with stonesª that she die:ª° because¹ she hath wroughtª° follyª in Israel,ª to play the whoreª° in her father'sª house:ª so shalt thou put²° evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you." {Deu 22:21} + "Then ye shall bring²° them both² out¹¹¹ unto¹ the gateª of that¹ city,ª and ye shall stoneª° them with stonesª that they die;ª°¹ the damsel,ª becauseªª¹ she criedª° not,¹ [being] in the city;ª and the man,ª becauseªª¹ he hath humbledª°¹ his neighbour'sª wife:ª so thou shalt put awayª° evilª from amongª¹ you." {Deu 22:24} + "If¹ a manª be foundª° stealingª° anyª of his brethrenª¹ of the childrenª¹ of Israel,ª and maketh merchandiseª° of him, or sellethª° him; then that¹ thiefª shall die;ª° and thou shalt put²° evil² awayª°¹ from amongª¹ you." {Deu 24:7} + "Therefore removeª° sorrowª from thy heart,ª¹ and put awayª° evilª from thy flesh:ª¹ for¹ childhoodª and youthª [are] vanity.ª" {Ecc 11:10}
would not:
"If¹ one manª sinª° against another,ª the judgeª shall judgeª° him: but if¹ a manª sinª° against the LORD,ª who¹ shall intreatª° for him? Notwithstanding¹ they hearkenedª° not unto the voiceª of their father,ª because¹ the LORDª wouldª° slayª° them." {1Sm 2:25} + "And it came to pass,¹ as he talkedª° with¹ him, that [the king] saidª° unto him, Art thou madeª° of the king'sª counsel?ª° forbear;ª° why¹ shouldest thou be smitten?ª° Then the prophetª forbare,ª° and said,ª° I knowª° that¹ Godª hath determinedª° to destroyª° thee, because¹ thou hast doneª° this,¹ and hast not¹ hearkenedª° unto my counsel.ª" {2Ch 25:16} + "But Amaziahª would not¹ hear;ª° for¹ it¹ [came] of God,ª¹ that¹ he might deliverª° them into the handª [of their enemies], because¹ they sought²° after¹¹ the godsª of Edom.ª" {2Ch 25:20} + "He,ª that being often reprovedª hardenethª° [his] neck,ª shall suddenlyª be destroyed,ª° and that without¹ remedy.ª" {Prv 29:1} + "They have deeplyª° corruptedª° [themselves], as in the daysª of Gibeah:ª [therefore] he will rememberª° their iniquity,ª he will visitª° their sins.ª" {Hsa 9:9} + "O Israel,ª thou hast sinnedª° from the daysª¹ of Gibeah:ª there¹ they stood:ª° the battleª in Gibeahª against¹ the childrenª of iniquityª did not¹ overtakeª° them." {Hsa 10:9} + "Whoª knowingª° the¹ judgmentª of God,ª thatª they which commitª° such thingsª areª° worthyª of death,ª notª onlyª doª° the same,ª butªª have pleasureª° in them that doª° them." {Rom 1:32} + "Andª I heardª° anotherª voiceª fromª heaven,ª saying,ª° Comeª° out ofª her,ª myª people,ª that²°¹ ye be²° not² partakersª°¹ of her²¹ sins,ª andª that²°¹ ye receiveª° not²¹ ofª her²¹ plagues.ª ... Forª her²¹ sinsª have reachedª°°²° untoª heaven,ª andª Godª hath rememberedª° her²¹ iniquities.ª" {Rev 18:4-5}; The conduct of the Israelites was very equitable in this demand; but perhaps the rulers or elders of Gibeah ought previously to have been applied to, to deliver up the criminals to justice. However, the refusal of the Benjamites, and their protection of those who had committed this horrible wickedness, because they were of their own tribe, prove them to have been deeply corrupted, and (all their advantages considered) as ripe for divine vengeance as the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah had been. Confiding in their own valour and military skill, they seen to have first prepared for battle in this unequal contest with such superior numbers.
