Obadiah 19-21
New Living Translation
19 “Then my people living in the Negev
will occupy the mountains of Edom.
Those living in the foothills of Judah[a]
will possess the Philistine plains
and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria.
And the people of Benjamin
will occupy the land of Gilead.
20 The exiles of Israel will return to their land
and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath.
The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north[b]
will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev.
21 Those who have been rescued[c] will go up to[d] Mount Zion in Jerusalem
to rule over the mountains of Edom.
And the Lord himself will be king!”
Obadiah 19-21

19 Those of the arid southern plain will possess Mount Esau,
and those of the western foothills, the land of the Philistines;
they will possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria,
and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Those who remain of the Israelites
will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath;
and those left from Jerusalem and who are now living in Sepharad
will possess the cities of the arid southern plain.
21 The deliverers will go up to Mount Zion
to rule Mount Esau,
and the kingdom will be the Lord’s.
