Early Israel and the Surrounding Nations

CHAPTER VII
92/171

Behold, the country of the cities of Gezer, of Askalon and of Lachish have given them food, oil, and whatever they wanted; so let the king send help to the troops and despatch troops against the men who have committed sin against the king my lord.

If troops come this year, then there will remain both provinces and governors to the king my lord; but if no troops arrive, there will remain no provinces or governors to the king my lord.

Behold, this country of the city of Jerusalem neither my father nor my mother has given to me; the arm of the Mighty King gave it to me, even to me.

Behold, this is the deed of Malchiel and the deed of the sons of Labai, who have given the country of the king to the Khabiri.
Behold, O king my lord, be just towards me as regards the Babylonians; let the king ask the Commissioners whether they have acted violently ( ?).

But they have taken upon themselves a very grievous sin.
