The son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of Zephaniah,

uto cid agne mahinaa pRthivyaaH kRtaM cid enaH sam mahe dashasya

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

tvam adhvaryur uta hotaasi puurvyaH prashaastaa potaa januSaa purohitaH

Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
