In siloam

Shallun son of Col-hozeh, ruler over the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate. He rebuilt it and roofed it. Then he installed its doors, bolts, and bars. He also made repairs to the wall of the Pool of Shelah near the king’s garden, as far as the stairs that descend from the city of David.

“Go,” He told him, “wash in the pool of Siloam”

(which means “Sent”). So he left, washed, and came back seeing.

Fell

The ones who remained fled into the city of Aphek, and the wall fell on those 27,000 remaining men.

Ben-hadad also fled and went into an inner room in the city.

Suddenly a powerful wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on the young people so that they died, and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

Sinners

“A creditor had two debtors. One owed 500 denarii, and the other 50.

And forgive us our sins,

for we ourselves also forgive everyone
in debt to us.

And do not bring us into temptation.”

And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.

When he began to settle accounts, one who owed 10,000 talents was brought before him.
