Lifted up

That is not my intention. There is a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, who has rebelled against King David. Deliver this one man, and I will withdraw from the city.”

The woman replied to Joab, “All right. His head will be thrown over the wall to you.”

If you have been foolish by exalting yourself
or if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth.

Lord, Your hand is lifted up to take action,
but they do not see it.
They will see Your zeal for Your people,
and they will be put to shame.
The fire for Your adversaries will consume them!

Solomon

This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon had imposed to build the Lord’s temple, his own palace, the supporting terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

Repaired

In that day
I will restore the fallen booth of David:
I will repair its gaps,
restore its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old,

The breaches

When Sanballat, Tobiah, and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they became furious.

You have shaken the land and split it open.
Heal its fissures, for it shudders.

You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the city of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

You did not go up to the gaps or restore the wall around the house of Israel so that it might stand in battle on the day of the Lord.

The city

Yet David did capture the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.
