men, that they may see.
7200
z8799
And the LORD

6:22
And he answered,
559
z8799
Thou shalt not
x3808
[smite]
5221
z8686
them: wouldest thou
x859
smite
5221
z8688
those whom
x834
thou hast taken captiue
7617
z8804
with thy sword,
2719
and with thy bow?
7198
set

3899
and water
4325
before
6440
them, that they may eate,

8354
z8799
and go
y3212
z8799
x1980

their master.
113

6:23
And hee prepared
3739
z8799
great
1419
prouision
3740
for them, and when they had eaten
398
z8799

z8799
hee sent them away,
7971
z8762
and they went
y3212
z8799
x1980

559
z8800
Helpe,
3467
z8685
my lord,
113
O king.
4428

6:27
And he said,
559
z8799
If the LORD
3068
do not
x408
helpe
3467
z8686
thee, whence
370
x4480
shall I helpe
3467
z8686
thee? out of
x4480
the barne floore,
1637
or
x176
out of
x4480
the wine presse?
3342

6:28
And the king
4428
said
559
z8799
vnto her, What
x4100
aileth thee? And shee answered,
559
z8799
This
x2063
woman
802
said
559
z8804
vnto
x413
me, Giue

1121
that we may eate

z8799
him to day,
3117
and wee will eate
398
z8799

4279

6:29
So we boyled
1310
z8762
x853
my sonne,
1121
and did eate
398
z8799
him: and I saide
559

3117
Giue

1121

6:30 ¶
And it came to passe
x1961
when the king

z8799
and behold,

1004
x4480
vpon

1320

6:31
Then he said,
559
z8799
God

doe
6213
z8799
so,
x3541
and more
3254
z8686

7218
Looke
