2 Samuel 8:4New Messianic Version BibleAnd David [beloved] took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David [beloved] hamstringed all the chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] an hundred chariots. See the chapter |
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: youi shall hough (hamstring; cut the tendons of the ham) their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has said unto you, You2f shall from this time forth (from now on) return no more that way.
