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!”

And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this [c]military force of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as (D)Zarephath,

To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the (G)kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
