Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ^a‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul. 8 And I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more. 9 ^bWhy have you despised the word of the Lord, ^cto do what is evil in his sight? ^dYou have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and ^ehave taken his wife to be your wife and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

22 “And you gave them kingdoms and peoples and allotted to them every corner. ⁱSo they took possession of the land of Sihon king of Heshbon ^jand the land of Og king of Bashan. 23 You multiplied their children ^kas the stars of heaven, and you brought them into the land that you had told their fathers to enter and possess. 24 ^lSo the descendants went in and possessed the land, ^mand you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would. 25 And they captured ⁿfortified cities and ^oa rich land, and took possession of ^phouses full of all good things, cisterns already hewn, vineyards, olive orchards and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled ^qand became fat and delighted themselves in ^ryour great goodness.

^s“What wrong did your fathers find in me
that they went far from me,

who led us ^win the wilderness,
in a land of deserts and pits,
in a land of drought and deep darkness,
in a land that none passes through,
where no man dwells?’

8 And ^aashe did not know

^acthe grain, the wine, and the oil,
and who lavished on ^adher silver and gold,
^aewhich they used for Baal.
