⁹ And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ They shall be left together unto the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day, Behold, such is our expectation, whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria: and how shall we escape?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Now when Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Then the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot chariot read Esaias the prophet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou thou thou what thou readest?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And he said, How can I, I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, Philip, that the eunuch saw saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
