H0853–אֵת–et

And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

אֹתֽוֹ׃ (אֹתֽ) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he said unto them, What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

אֶתְכֶם֙ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”אֶתְכֶ֖ם (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶתְכֶם֙ (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”אֶתְכֶ֖ם (אֶתְ) 'et. “<obj.>”

So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Jehovah spake by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to taskwork; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they hearkened unto the word of Jehovah, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Jehovah.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and he went out from thence, and built Penuel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, that were not of the sons of Levi.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he went up unto the altar; so did he in Beth-el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall they burn upon thee.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.

אֹתִ֗י (אֹתִ֗) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father.
