46
1 Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according
to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that
rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.
2 How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
5 He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord
heard him.
6 And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the
descent
of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in
the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.
7 In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood
the congregation, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
8 And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserved to bring them in to the heritage,
even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.
9 The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered
upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:
11 And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord,
let their memory be blessed.
12 Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued
upon their children.
13 Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over
his people.
15 By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
16 He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the
sucking lamb.
