So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

2 Samuel 18 19-2 Samuel 18 31
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king’s son is dead.Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?But howsoever,[ said he], let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he[ be] alone,[ there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold[ another] man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He[ is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed[ be] the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant, and[ me] thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what[ it was].And the king said[ unto him], Turn aside,[ and] stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

Isaiah 47:11-13
Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly,[ which] thou shalt not know.Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from[ these things] that shall come upon thee.

Isaiah 21:3-9
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing[ of it]; I was dismayed at the seeing[ of it].My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes,[ and] anoint the shield.For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.And he saw a chariot[ with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses,[ and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men,[ with] a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which[ was] in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which[ was] at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

1 Samuel 4 12-1 Samuel 4 18
And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told[ it], all the city cried out.And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What[ meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.And the man said unto Eli, I[ am] he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?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.And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
