And I sent them forth unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia; and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [ergänzt: and] his brethren the Nethinim, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

הָרֹ֔אשׁ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמָּק֑וֹם (הַ) ha. “the”הַנְּתִינִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמָּק֔וֹם (הַ) ha. “the”

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way, because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
