23 And he took away the silver and gold and the precious vessels; he also took all the hidden treasures he could find.
24 Taking all this, he went back to his own country. He shed much blood and spoke with great arrogance.
25 And there was great mourning throughout all Israel,
26 and the rulers and the elders groaned.Young women and men languished,and the beauty of the women faded.
27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation,while the bride sitting in her chamber mourned,
28 And the land quaked on account of its inhabitants,and all the house of Jacob was clothed with shame.
