Yet all the Canaanites who dwell in the plain have fchariots of iron, both those in Beth-shean and its villages and those in gthe Valley of Jezreel.”2 Kings 6:1

The Eternal Covenant of Peace
1 m“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear;break forth into singing and cry aloud,
you who have not been in labor!
For the children of nthe desolate one owill be more
than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.
2 p“Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out;
do not hold back; lengthen your cords
and strengthen your stakes.
