Shitraithe Sharonitehad chargeof the cattlewhich were grazingin Sharon;and Shaphatthe sonof Adlaihad chargeof the cattlein the valleys.
They livedin Gilead,in Bashanand in its towns,and in allthe pasturelandsof Sharon,as faras their borders.

"Listento me, you who pursuerighteousness,Who seekthe LORD:Lookto the rockfrom which you were hewnAnd to the quarryfrom which you were dug.
Seekthe LORDwhile He may be found;Callupon Him while He is near.
You will seekMe and find[Me] whenyou searchfor Me with allyour heart.
"Thussaysthe LORDof hosts,'There will againbe in thisplacewhich is waste,withoutmanor beast,and in allits cities,a habitationof shepherdswho resttheir flocks.
And I will bringIsraelbackto his pastureand he will grazeon Carmeland Bashan,and his desirewill be satisfiedin the hillcountryof Ephraimand Gilead.

And allwho livedat Lyddaand Sharonsawhim, and they turnedto the Lord.
