Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said,“ How do you advise me to answer these people?”And they spoke to him, saying,“ If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

Now Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

“ But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother In the day of his captivity; Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; Nor should you have spoken proudly In the day of distress.You should not have entered the gate of My people In the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction In the day of their calamity, Nor laid hands on their substance In the day of their calamity.You should not have stood at the crossroads To cut off those among them who escaped; Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained In the day of distress.

Then Jesus answered and said:“ A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him,‘ Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”And he said,“ He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him,“ Go and do likewise.”

For all my father’s house were but dead men before my Lord the king. Yet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to cry out anymore to the king?”

And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said,“ The Lord look on it, and repay!”

All the brothers of the poor hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He may pursue them with words, yet they abandon him.

Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying,“ How do you advise me to answer these people?”And they spoke to him, saying,“ If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever.”But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

Thus says the Lord:“ What injustice have your fathers found in Me, That they have gone far from Me, Have followed idols, And have become idolaters?

“ But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you,‘ You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away:Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.Did I ever say,‘ Bring something to me’? Or,‘ Offer a bribe for me from your wealth’?Or,‘ Deliver me from the enemy’s hand’? Or,‘ redeem me from the hand of oppressors’?

And he called for two centurions, saying,“ Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;and provide mounts to set Paul on, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.”He wrote a letter in the following manner:Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.I found out that he was accused concerning questions of their law, but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the barracks.When they came to Caesarea and had delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.And when the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that he was from Cilicia,he said,“ I will hear you when your accusers also have come.” And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s Praetorium.
