H0853–אֵת–et

And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel had 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 consulted with the old men that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that had grown up with him, and who stood before him:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath 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 old men's counsel that they gave him;

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

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

Wherefore the king hearkened not to the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to 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 thy own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to enter his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֹתוֹ֙ (אֹת) 'o.T “<obj.>”אֹת֖וֹ (אֹת֖) 'o.T “<obj.>”

And when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men, who 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 the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt in it, and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

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

And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who 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 the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Beth-el, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places which he had made.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Beth-el, that he 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 to him again.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the man of God said to 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 the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

אֹתִ֗י (אֹתִ֗) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and 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 to the king, them they told also to their father.
