¹⁴ And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

³¹ One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,

¹³ And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.

¹⁷ And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
