And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth month, [that] Hananyah [God has favoured] the son of ‘Azur [he that assists] the prophet, which [was] of Giv’on [Hill City], spoke unto me in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Now it came to pass, when Adoni-Tzedek [My lord is Righteous] king of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] had heard how Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] had taken ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins], and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Yericho [Its Moon] and her king, so he had done to ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins] and her king; and how the inhabitants of Giv’on [Hill City] had made peace with Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and were among them;
And that day Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] took Makkedah [Place of Shepherds], and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah [Place of Shepherds] as he did unto the king of Yericho [Its Moon].
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] in it; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Yericho [Its Moon].
So Shlomo (Solomon) [peace], and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that [was] at Giv’on [Hill City]; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had made in the wilderness.
