for_o they_o break_v league_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o deny_v they_o aid_v they_o take_v part_n with_o the_o enemy_n enter_v the_o city_n with_o they_o and_o cast_v lot_n with_o they_o for_o the_o decision_n of_o the_o spoil_n they_o carry_v away_o their_o substance_n and_o in_o all_o point_n show_v themselves_o their_o deadly_a enemy_n thus_o the_o prophet_n put_v away_o their_o
