When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua approached him and asked, ‘Are you for us or for our enemies? ’
Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.
In the days of King Pekah of Israel, King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria came and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee #– #all the land of Naphtali #– #and deported the people to Assyria.
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made iron horns and said, ‘This is what the Lord says: “You will gore the Arameans with these until they are finished off.” ’
‘Proclaim further: This is what the Lord of Armies says: My cities will again overflow with prosperity; the Lord will once more comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.’
So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, ‘What are these? ’ And he said to me, ‘These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.’
