there_o be_v find_v no_o cause_n of_o sorrow_n for_o either_o of_o we_o but_o in_o the_o middle_a transaction_n do_v israel_n fall_v in_o battle_n twice_o for_o some_o secret_a sin_n as_o they_o do_v at_o a_z we_o ever_o bless_v be_v jehovah_n fall_v not_o at_o all_o before_o the_o scot_n therefore_o the_o israelite_n may_v well_o mourn_v more_o and_o have_v less_o cause_n of_o rejoice_v than_o we_o but_o mark_v by_o the_o way_n for_o all_o the_o notion_n of_o brethren_n the_o benjamite_n mourn_v not_o for_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o israelite_n that_o we_o read_v of_o it_o be_v just_a as_o if_o now_o the_o contrary_n mind_v among_o we_o shall_v mourn_v for_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o scot_n because_o as_o they_o cry_v they_o be_v their_o brethren_n but_o they_o never_o mourn_v for_o they_o few_o that_o be_v kill_v of_o we_o or_o for_o our_o distress_n by_o weather_n or_o want_v of_o provision_n for_o the_o whole_a army_n or_o for_o the_o distress_n and_o wound_n of_o many_o of_o we_o as_o if_o we_o be_v not_o brethren_n to_o they_o benjamin_n will_v not_o mourn_v for_o israel_n though_o in_o two_o battle_n they_o kill_v of_o israel_n forty_o thousand_o man_n 20._o judg._n 20._o if_o israel_n will_v they_o may_v at_o last_o mourn_v gratis_o for_o benjamin_n and_o the_o mean_a while_n for_o themselves_o for_o their_o twice_o fall_v before_o benjamin_n benjamin_n regard_v it_o not_o whence_o i_o observe_v that_o if_o the_o israelite_n have_v conquer_v the_o benjamite_n at_o those_o time_n the_o israelite_n will_v have_v save_v their_o mourning_n and_o will_v have_v be_v glad_a of_o conquest_n for_o they_o be_v in_o the_o case_n immediate_a contrary_n it_o be_v true_a that_o afterward_o that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o benjamin_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o the_o whole_a tribe_n even_o extinct_a the_o israelite_n mourn_v but_o the_o formal_a consideration_n and_o precise_a reason_n will_v be_v weigh_v and_o heed_v especial_o by_o man_n that_o most_o pretend_v to_o most_o reason_n the_o israelite_n can_v mourn_v for_o stand_v up_o for_o a_o most_o righteous_a cause_n nor_o for_o conquer_a the_o benjamite_n to_o which_o god_n encourage_v

chose_v rather_o to_o break_v then_o keep_v they_o be_v pacify_v 21._o judg._n 21._o but_o the_o israelite_n be_v so_o far_o from_o mourning_n for_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o benjamite_n that_o now_o after_o all_o they_o send_v twelve_o thousand_o man_n against_o jabesh-gilead_n to_o destroy_v it_o and_o in_o it_o all_o both_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o have_v lie_v with_o man_n for_o that_o they_o come_v not_o up_o to_o help_v they_o to_o conquer_v benjamin_n 21._o benjamin_n judg._n 21._o if_o possible_o man_n may_v be_v convince_v this_o will_v if_o weigh_v conconvince_v they_o obj._n
