又曰、今海震盪愈甚、當若何待爾、則風浪可息。

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?”

The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him,“ What should we do to you to make the sea calm down?”

Then they said to him,“ What shall we do to you, that the sea may quiet down for us?” For the sea grew more and more tempestuous.

And since the storm was getting worse all the time, they asked him,“ What should we do to you to stop this storm?”

So they said to him,“ What should we do to you so that the sea will calm down for us?” For the sea was getting worse and worse.

During David’s reign there was a famine for three consecutive years. So David inquired of the LORD. The LORD said,“ It is because of Saul and his bloodstained family, because he murdered the Gibeonites.”So the king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke with them.( Now the Gibeonites were not descendants of Israel; they were a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had made a promise to them, but Saul tried to kill them because of his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.)David said to the Gibeonites,“ What can I do for you, and how can I make amends so that you will bless the LORD’s inheritance?”The Gibeonites said to him,“ We have no claim to silver or gold from Saul or from his family, nor would we be justified in putting to death anyone in Israel.” David asked,“ What then are you asking me to do for you?”They replied to the king,“ As for this man who exterminated us and who schemed against us so that we were destroyed and left without status throughout all the borders of Israel–let seven of his male descendants be turned over to us, and we will execute them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, who was the LORD’s chosen one.” The king replied,“ I will turn them over.”

When David got up the next morning, the LORD had already spoken to Gad the prophet, David’s seer:“ Go, tell David,‘ This is what the LORD says: I am offering you three forms of judgment. Pick one of them and I will carry it out against you.’”Gad went to David and told him,“ Shall seven years of famine come upon your land? Or shall you flee for three months from your enemy with him in hot pursuit? Or shall there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide what I should tell the one who sent me.”

With what should I enter the LORD’s presence? With what should I bow before the sovereign God? Should I enter his presence with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?Will the LORD accept a thousand rams, or ten thousand streams of olive oil? Should I give him my firstborn child as payment for my rebellion, my offspring– my own flesh and blood– for my sin?

the Philistines called the priests and the omen readers, saying,“ What should we do with the ark of the LORD? Advise us as to how we should send it back to its place.”They replied,“ If you are going to send the ark of the God of Israel back, don’t send it away empty. Be sure to return it with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will understand why his hand is not removed from you.”
