  1. 1 Chronicles 26:31 Heb according to the Hebronites...father’s households

For the fields of (A)Heshbon have [a]withered, the vines of (B)Sibmah as well;
The lords of the nations have trampled down its choice clusters
Which reached as far as Jazer and wandered to the deserts;
(C)Its [b]tendrils spread themselves out and passed over the sea.
Therefore I will (D)weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah;
I will drench you with my tears, (E)Heshbon and Elealeh;
For the shouting over your (F)summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.
10 (G)Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;
In the (H)vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No (I)treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.
11 Therefore my [c](J)inner being sounds like a harp for Moab.
And my [d]heart for Kir-hareseth.
12 So it will come about when Moab (K)presents himself,
When he (L)tires himself upon his (M)high place
And comes to his sanctuary to pray,
That he will not prevail.

13 This is the word which the Lord spoke earlier concerning Moab. 14 But now the Lord has spoken, saying, “Within three years, as [e](N)a hired worker would count them, the glory of (O)Moab will become contemptible along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and [f]impotent.”

32 More than the (A)weeping for (B)Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your tendrils stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
