- and destroyed:
- A similar history is related by Mr. Bruce, as having occurred in Abyssinia. Judith "surprised the rock Damo, and slew the whole of the princes, to the number, it is said, of about 400;" while the infant king, Del Naad, was conveyed for safety to a loyal province, and afterwards restored. "Andª when theyª were departed,ª° behold,ª° the angelª of the Lordª appearethª° to Josephª inª a dream,ª saying,ª° Arise,ª° and takeª° the¹ young childª andª hisª mother,ª andª fleeª° intoª Egypt,ª andª be¹ thou²° thereª untilª¹ I² bring²° thee² word:ª°¹ forª Herodª willª° seekª° the¹ young childª to destroyª° him.ª" {Mtt 2:13} + "Thenª Herod,ª when he sawª° thatª he was mockedª° ofª the¹ wise men,ª was exceeding² wroth,ª°¹ andª sent forth,ª° and¹ slewª° allª the¹ childrenª that¹ were inª Bethlehem,ª andª inª allª the¹ coastsª thereof,ª fromª two years oldª andª under,ª accordingª to the¹ timeª whichª he had diligently enquiredª° ofª the¹ wise men.ª" {Mtt 2:16} + "Butª when the¹ husbandmenª sawª° the¹ son,ª they saidª° amongª themselves,ª Thisª isª° the¹ heir;ª come,ª° let us killª° him,ª andª let us seize²° on¹ hisª inheritance.ª ... Andª they caughtª° him,ª and¹ castª° [him] out¹ of² the¹ vineyard,ª andª slewª° [him]." {Mtt 21:38-39}
