34 But a certain man drew his bow at random ^{▼▼Hebrew in his innocence} and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, ^dfor I am wounded.” 35 And the battle continued that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, until at evening he died. And the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. 36 And about sunset a cry went through the army, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”

4 ^qThe weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, ^rthe injured you have not bound up, ^sthe strayed you have not brought back, ^tthe lost you have not sought, and with force and ^uharshness you have ruled them. 5 ^vSo they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and ^wthey became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; 6 they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, ^xwith none to search or seek for them.
