So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all {things} that befell them:

And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long {are} ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. {Labour not: or, Work not}

Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight. {quit...: Heb. be men}

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead {is} ours, and we {be} still, {and} take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria? {still...: Heb. silent from taking it}

And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, {is} an exceeding good land.

And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long {are} ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back? {speak...: Heb. are ye silent?}

Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, {there is} no number. Arise {therefore}, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
