made captiveS Of the mariners, VINO were
many in number, and threw them into
dungeons, and fed them upon bread and

murmur against Rehoboan, because OF the
captivity Of their brethren, ior such a thing

deliverance from the hands Of Pharah.

build TWO small ships, and to send some
money to the Hittltes fer the dellYerance
of their brethren, who were in CAPTIVITY

the sons of the prophet, and stood before
Rehoboam aad the elders fthc people and
said unto them, ;,
