1:3 Syria

3 This is what Yahweh says:

“Even if Damascus was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

for the cruel things they did to the people of Gilead.[ref]

4 I’ll send a fire into King Hazael’s house,

≈ and it will devour King Ben-Hadad’s fortresses.

5 I’ll smash the gate bars of Damascus

and eliminate the ruler of the Aven Valley,

and also the leader of Beyt-Eden.

The people of Aram will go in captivity to Kir,”

says Yahweh.

1:3-5: Isa 17:1-3; Jer 49:23-27; Zech 9:1.

3 thus YHWH he _says on three (the)_transgressions _of Dammeseq and_on four not I_will _revoke _it because threshed_they with _(the)_threshing _sledges _of (the)_iron DOM (the)_Gilˊād.
4 And_I _will _send _forth a _fire in_house _of Ḩₐzā^ʼēl and_it _will _consume the _fortresses _of Ben.
5 And_I _will _break the _bar _of Dammeseq and_I _will _cut _off inhabitant[s] from Aven and_one _who_holds _of (of)_a _scepter from eden and_they _will _go _into _exile the _people _of ʼArām to_Qīr YHWH he _says.
