“ Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it,‘ Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it,‘ Belonging to Joseph( that is, to Ephraim) and all the Israelites associated with him.’

“ Son of man, get a stick of wood. Write on it,‘ Belonging to the tribe of Judah and the Israelites who are connected with it.’ Then get another stick. Write on it,‘ Ephraim’s stick. Belonging to the tribes of Joseph and all the Israelites connected with them.’

“ Son of man, take a stick and write on it,‘ For Judah, and the people of Israel associated with him’; then take another stick and write on it,‘ For Joseph( the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with him.’

“ Son of man, take a piece of wood and carve on it these words:‘ This represents Judah and its allied tribes.’ Then take another piece and carve these words on it:‘ This represents Ephraim and the northern tribes of Israel.’

“ Son of man, take a single stick and write on it: Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him. Then take another stick and write on it: Belonging to Joseph— the stick of Ephraim— and all the house of Israel associated with him.

“ Now you, son of man, take for yourself one stick and write on it,‘ For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions’; then take another stick and write on it,‘ For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.’

“ As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it:‘ For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it,‘ For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’

And thou, son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:

“ Son of man, take a single stick and write on it: Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him. Then take another stick and write on it: Belonging to Joseph— the stick of Ephraim— and all the house of Israel associated with him.

Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and[ for] all the house of Israel his companions:

“ As for you, son of man, take one branch, and write on it,‘ For Judah, and for the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another branch and write on it,‘ For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.’

以色列族見上帝耶和華眷祐亞撒、以法蓮、馬拿西、西面三族之賓旅、多歸焉。亞撒召之、亦召猶大便雅憫族眾、於十五年三月、俱至耶路撒冷。

惟居猶大眾邑者、尚歸羅波暗統轄。

以色列族背大闢之家、以迄於今、尚未臣服。

告以色列族云、爾各支派牧伯、取杖十有二、書名其上、支派各一、惟利未族之杖書亞倫名立於支派各杖中。

以色列族眾知王不聽、則告王曰、我與耶西之子大闢何與、我族當各歸故土、大闢之家爾自治之。於是以色列族各歸故土。惟居猶大眾邑者尚歸羅波暗統轄。時羅波暗王遣理貢物之亞多蘭、至以色列、以色列族石擊之、斃其命、王疾登車、遁於耶路撒冷、以色列族背大闢之家、以迄於今、尚未臣服。以色列族眾知耶羅破暗已歸、則遣人招集會眾、立之為王、轄以色列族、除猶大支派以外。從大闢家者、絶無一人。

使其邑強盛、立武士長、廣貯食物油酒、既得便雅憫猶大二族歸己、則置干戈於諸邑、愈為鞏固。遍以色列地之利未人及祭司、俱歸羅波暗。利未人、見絕於耶羅破暗及其子、不許為祭司、奉事耶和華、故離其邑郊、舍其田里、至耶路撒冷及猶大地。耶羅破暗擅立祭司、在諸崇坵、奉事魑魅、及所作犢像。以色列支派中、凡一心求其列祖之上帝耶和華而獻祭者、皆從利未人、至耶路撒冷。助所羅門子羅波暗、鞏固猶大國、歷至三年、循從大闢所羅門之道。

亞設、馬拿西、西布倫中有數人、卑以自牧、詣耶路撒冷。在猶大地上帝使民一心、遵從王與群伯所傳耶和華命。○二月會眾至耶路撒冷、守無酵節、不可勝數。在耶路撒冷、獻祭之壇、焚香之壇、民去之、投於汲淪溪、惟耶和華之壇存焉。二月十四日、人宰逾越節羔、祭司及利未人深以為恥、自潔其身、攜燔祭入耶和華殿、各立其所、循常例、遵上帝僕摩西律例、利未人畀血於祭司、祭司灑之。會中之人、未潔者眾、弗敢宰逾越節羔、利未人代宰、則於耶和華前、可為潔。以法蓮、馬拿西、以薩迦、西布倫、所至民眾、未潔其體、守逾越節、不循常例、希西家禱曰、如人崇列祖之上帝耶和華、惟一其心、雖不潔己、循聖所之例、耶和華無不善、願蒙赦宥。
