forces <2CH17 -2> And he placed {forces} in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. forces Will he esteem thy riches? [no], not gold, nor all the {forces} of strength. forces Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the {forces} of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. forces Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the {forces} of the Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought. forces Now when all the captains of the {forces} which [were] in the fields, [even] they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and chil dren, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon; forces Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces} that [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, forces But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces} that [were] with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done, forces Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people which [were] with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces} that [were] with him, then they were glad. forces Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces} that [were] with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after [that] he had slain Gedaliah the s on of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon: forces Then all the captains of the {forces}, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near, forces Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces} which [were] with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, forces So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces}, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah. forces But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the {forces}, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah; forces But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great {forces}: and [one] shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, [even] to his fortress. forces But in his estate shall he honour the God of {forces}: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. forces In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his {forces}, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them. ~~~~~~
