After these things
the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying,
Fear not,
Abram:
I am
thy
shield,
and
thy
exceeding great reward.
And
Abram said,
Lord God,
what wilt thou give me,
seeing
I
go childless,
**
They that
see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and
consider thee,
saying,
Is this
the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

Eliezer
of Damascus?

And
why
is
thy
countenance
fallen?

why
went

say thou,
Thy
servant
Uriah
the
Hittite
is
dead
also.
