6 And the men of Ephraim
gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee?
we will burn thine house upon thee with fire. ... Then said they unto him,
Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [
it] right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and
there fell at that time of the Ephraimites
forty and two thousand.

escape us.

What portion have we in David? neither [
have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse:
to your tents, O Israel:
now see to thine own house, David.
So Israel departed unto their tents. ... And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation,
and made him king over all Israel: there was
none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

21 And he shall
snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm: ... Manasseh,

and] they together [
shall be] against Judah.
For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [
is] stretched out still.

fail in the midst thereof; and I will
destroy the counsel thereof:
and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

13 Now
I beseech you, brethren,
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye all speak the same thing, and [
that] there be no
divisions among you; but [
that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. ... Is
Christ divided? was
Paul crucified for you?
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
Ephesians 4:3-
6 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. ... One
God and Father of all,
who [
is] above all, and through all,
and in you all.
