And they built the high places of Ba’al [lord (a false god)], which [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation], to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through [the fire] unto Molekh [king]; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] to sin.
And shall say unto them, Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; Even so will I break this people and this city, as [one] breaks a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury [them] in Tofet [place of fire], till [there be] no place to bury.
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation]: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to provoke him to anger.
And Adoniyah [my lord is Yehovah] killed sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zochelet [serpent], which [is] by ‘Ein-Rogel (a place near Jerusalem) [Fount of the Fuller (washer and/or bleacher of clothes)], and called all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] the king’s servants:
Now Y’honatan [Yehovah has Given] and Achima’atz [my brother is anger (wrath)] detained (held) by ‘Ein-Rogel (a place near Jerusalem) [Fount of the Fuller (washer and/or bleacher of clothes)]; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David [beloved].
And the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] did not drive out the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] that inhabited Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; but the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] dwell with the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto this day.
And Tzela [a rib], Eleph, and Y’vusi [Descendants of Y’vus (“hard trampled” or “the waterless hill”)], which [is] Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], Giv’at [Hill], [and] Kiryat [City]; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] according to their families.
As for the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] the inhabitants of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] could not drive them out: but the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot] dwell with the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] unto this day.
