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 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 were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he said unto 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 were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be 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 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 spake 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 unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

So 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 tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore 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 come again, 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.

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

And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which 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 therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

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

And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which 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 offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel 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 unto 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, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, 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 pull it in again to him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, 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 thine 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 Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
