See{H7200}{(H8798)}, I have commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} you. 9 Joshua{H3091} therefore sent them forth{H7971}{(H8799)}: and they went{H3212}{(H8799)} to lie in ambush{H3993}, and abode{H3427}{(H8799)} between Bethel{H1008} and Ai{H5857}, on the west side{H3220} of Ai{H5857}: but Joshua{H3091} lodged{H3885}{(H8799)} that night{H3915} among{H8432} the people{H5971}. 10 And Joshua{H3091} rose up early{H7925}{(H8686)} in the morning{H1242}, and numbered{H6485}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}, and went up{H5927}{(H8799)}, he and the elders{H2205} of Israel{H3478}, before{H6440} the people{H5971} to Ai{H5857}. 11 And all the people{H5971}, even the people of war{H4421} that were with him, went up{H5927}{(H8804)}, and drew nigh{H5066}{(H8799)}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} before the city{H5892}, and pitched{H2583}{(H8799)} on the north side{H6828} of Ai{H5857}: now there was a valley{H1516} between them and Ai{H5857}. 12 And he took{H3947}{(H8799)} about five{H2568} thousand{H505} men{H376}, and set{H7760}{(H8799)} them to lie in ambush{H693}{(H8802)} between Bethel{H1008} and Ai{H5857}, on the west side{H3220} of the city{H5857}{(H8675)}{H5892}. 13 And when they had set{H7760}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}, even all the host{H4264} that was on the north{H6828} of the city{H5892}, and their liers in wait{H6119} on the west{H3220} of the city{H5892}, Joshua{H3091} went{H3212}{(H8799)} that night{H3915} into the midst{H8432} of the valley{H6010}. 14 And it came to pass, when the king{H4428} of Ai{H5857} saw{H7200}{(H8800)} it, that they hasted{H4116}{(H8762)} and rose up early{H7925}{(H8686)}, and the men{H582} of the city{H5892} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} Israel{H3478} to battle{H4421}, he and all his people{H5971}, at a time appointed{H4150}, before{H6440} the plain{H6160}; but he wist{H3045}{(H8804)} not that there were liers in ambush{H693}{(H8802)} against him behind{H310} the city{H5892}. 15 And Joshua{H3091} and all Israel{H3478} made as if they were beaten{H5060}{(H8735)} before{H6440} them, and fled{H5127}{(H8799)} by the way{H1870} of the wilderness{H4057}. 16 And all the people{H5971} that were in Ai{H5857}{(H8675)}{H5892} were called{H2199}{(H8735)} together to pursue{H7291}{(H8800)} after{H310} them: and they pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} after{H310} Joshua{H3091}, and were drawn away{H5423}{(H8735)} from the city{H5892}. 17 And there was not a man{H376} left{H7604}{(H8738)} in Ai{H5857} or Bethel{H1008}, that went not out{H3318}{(H8804)} after{H310} Israel{H3478}: and they left{H5800}{(H8799)} the city{H5892} open{H6605}{(H8803)}, and pursued{H7291}{(H8799)} after Israel{H3478}. 18 And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Joshua{H3091}, Stretch out{H5186}{(H8798)} the spear{H3591} that is in thy hand{H3027} toward Ai{H5857}; for I will give{H5414}{(H8799)} it into thine hand{H3027}. And Joshua{H3091} stretched out{H5186}{(H8799)} the spear{H3591} that he had in his hand{H3027} toward the city{H5892}. 19 And the ambush{H693}{(H8802)} arose{H6965}{(H8804)} quickly{H4120} out of their place{H4725}, and they ran{H7323}{(H8799)} as soon as he had stretched out{H5186}{(H8800)} his hand{H3027}: and they entered{H935}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}, and took{H3920}{(H8799)} it, and hasted{H4116}{(H8762)} and set{H3341}{(H8686)} the city{H5892} on fire{H784}. 20 And when the men{H582} of Ai{H5857} looked{H6437}{(H8799)} behind{H310} them, they saw{H7200}{(H8799)}, and, behold, the smoke{H6227} of the city{H5892} ascended up{H5927}{(H8804)} to heaven{H8064}, and they had no power{H3027} to flee{H5127}{(H8800)} this way or that way{H2008}: and the people{H5971} that fled{H5127}{(H8801)} to the wilderness{H4057} turned back{H2015}{(H8738)} upon the pursuers{H7291}{(H8802)}. 21 And when Joshua{H3091} and all Israel{H3478} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} that the ambush{H693}{(H8802)} had taken{H3920}{(H8804)} the city{H5892}, and that the smoke{H6227} of the city{H5892} ascended{H5927}{(H8804)}, then they turned again{H7725}{(H8799)}, and slew{H5221}{(H8686)} the men{H582} of Ai{H5857}. 22 And the other{H428} issued out{H3318}{(H8804)} of the city{H5892} against{H7125}{(H8800)} them; so they were in the midst{H8432} of Israel{H3478}, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote{H5221}{(H8686)} them, so that{H5704} they let{H7604}{(H8689)} none of them remain{H8300} or escape{H6412}. 23 And the king{H4428} of Ai{H5857} they took{H8610}{(H8804)} alive{H2416}, and brought{H7126}{(H8686)} him to Joshua{H3091}. 24 And it came to pass, when Israel{H3478} had made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of slaying{H2026}{(H8800)} all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Ai{H5857} in the field{H7704}, in the wilderness{H4057} wherein they chased{H7291}{(H8804)} them, and when they were all fallen{H5307}{(H8799)} on the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}, until they were consumed{H8552}{(H8800)}, that all the Israelites{H3478} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} unto Ai{H5857}, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} it with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}. 25 And so it was, that all that fell{H5307}{(H8802)} that day{H3117}, both of men{H376} and women{H802}, were twelve{H8147}{H6240} thousand{H505}, even all the men{H582} of Ai{H5857}. 26 For Joshua{H3091} drew{H7725} not his hand{H3027} back{H7725}{(H8689)}, wherewith he stretched out{H5186}{(H8804)} the spear{H3591}, until he had utterly destroyed{H2763}{(H8689)} all the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Ai{H5857}. 27 Only the cattle{H929} and the spoil{H7998} of that city{H5892} Israel{H3478} took for a prey{H962}{(H8804)} unto themselves, according unto the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} which he commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} Joshua{H3091}. 28 And Joshua{H3091} burnt{H8313}{(H8799)} Ai{H5857}, and made{H7760}{(H8799)} it an heap{H8510} for ever{H5769}, even a desolation{H8077} unto this day{H3117}. 29 And the king{H4428} of Ai{H5857} he hanged{H8518}{(H8804)} on a tree{H6086} until eventide{H6256}{H6153}: and as soon as the sun{H8121} was down{H935}{(H8800)}, Joshua{H3091} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} that they should take{H3381} his carcase{H5038} down{H3381}{(H8686)} from the tree{H6086}, and cast{H7993}{(H8686)} it at the entering{H6607} of the gate{H8179} of the city{H5892}, and raise{H6965}{(H8686)} thereon a great{H1419} heap{H1530} of stones{H68}, that remaineth unto this day{H3117}.

  • 2 Sam 10:6-9 : 6 And when the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they stank{H887}{(H8738)} before David{H1732}, the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} sent{H7971}{(H8799)} and hired{H7936}{(H8799)} the Syrians{H758} of Bethrehob{H1050}, and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, twenty{H6242} thousand{H505} footmen{H7273}, and of king{H4428} Maacah{H4601} a thousand{H505} men{H376}, and of Ishtob{H382} twelve{H6240}{H8147} thousand{H505} men{H376}. 7 And when David{H1732} heard{H8085}{(H8799)} of it, he sent{H7971}{(H8799)} Joab{H3097}, and all the host{H6635} of the mighty men{H1368}. 8 And the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} came out{H3318}{(H8799)}, and put the battle{H4421} in array{H6186}{(H8799)} at the entering in{H6607} of the gate{H8179}: and the Syrians{H758} of Zoba{H6678}, and of Rehob{H7340}, and Ishtob{H382}, and Maacah{H4601}, were by themselves{H905} in the field{H7704}. 9 When Joab{H3097} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that the front{H6440} of the battle{H4421} was against him before{H6440} and behind{H268}, he chose{H977}{(H8799)} of all the choice{H977}{(H8803)} men of Israel{H3478}, and put them in array{H6186}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} the Syrians{H758}: 10 And the rest{H3499} of the people{H5971} he delivered{H5414}{(H8804)} into the hand{H3027} of Abishai{H52} his brother{H251}, that he might put them in array{H6186}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}. 11 And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, If the Syrians{H758} be too strong{H2388}{(H8799)} for me, then thou shalt help{H3444} me: but if the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} be too strong{H2388}{(H8799)} for thee, then I will come{H1980}{(H8804)} and help{H3467}{(H8687)} thee. 12 Be of good courage{H2388}{(H8798)}, and let us play the men{H2388}{(H8691)} for our people{H5971}, and for the cities{H5892} of our God{H430}: and the LORD{H3068} do{H6213}{(H8799)} that which seemeth{H5869} him good{H2896}. 13 And Joab{H3097} drew nigh{H5066}{(H8799)}, and the people{H5971} that were with him, unto the battle{H4421} against the Syrians{H758}: and they fled{H5127}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him. 14 And when the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} saw{H7200}{(H8804)} that the Syrians{H758} were fled{H5127}{(H8804)}, then fled{H5127}{(H8799)} they also before{H6440} Abishai{H52}, and entered{H935}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}. So Joab{H3097} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} from the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389}. 15 And when the Syrians{H758} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they were smitten{H5062}{(H8738)} before{H6440} Israel{H3478}, they gathered{H622}{(H8735)} themselves together{H3162}. 16 And Hadarezer{H1928} sent{H7971}{(H8799)}, and brought out{H3318}{(H8686)} the Syrians{H758} that were beyond{H5676} the river{H5104}: and they came{H935}{(H8799)} to Helam{H2431}; and Shobach{H7731} the captain{H8269} of the host{H6635} of Hadarezer{H1928} went before{H6440} them. 17 And when it was told{H5046}{(H8714)} David{H1732}, he gathered{H622} all Israel{H3478} together{H622}{(H8799)}, and passed over{H5674}{(H8799)} Jordan{H3383}, and came{H935}{(H8799)} to Helam{H2431}. And the Syrians{H758} set themselves in array{H6186}{(H8799)} against{H7125}{(H8800)} David{H1732}, and fought{H3898}{(H8735)} with him. 18 And the Syrians{H758} fled{H5127}{(H8799)} before{H6440} Israel{H3478}; and David{H1732} slew{H2026}{(H8799)} the men of seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} chariots{H7393} of the Syrians{H758}, and forty{H705} thousand{H505} horsemen{H6571}, and smote{H5221}{(H8689)} Shobach{H7731} the captain{H8269} of their host{H6635}, who died{H4191}{(H8799)} there. 19 And when all the kings{H4428} that were servants{H5650} to Hadarezer{H1928} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that they were smitten{H5062}{(H8738)} before{H6440} Israel{H3478}, they made peace{H7999}{(H8686)} with Israel{H3478}, and served{H5647}{(H8799)} them. So the Syrians{H758} feared{H3372}{(H8799)} to help{H3467}{(H8687)} the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} any more.
  • 1 Kgs 5:4 : 4 But now the LORD{H3068} my God{H430} hath given me rest{H5117}{(H8689)} on every side{H5439}, so that there is neither adversary{H7854} nor evil{H7451} occurrent{H6294}.
  • 2 Chr 19:2 : 2 And Jehu{H3058} the son{H1121} of Hanani{H2607} the seer{H2374} went out{H3318}{(H8799)} to meet{H6440} him, and said{H559}{(H8799)} to king{H4428} Jehoshaphat{H3092}, Shouldest thou help{H5826}{(H8800)} the ungodly{H7563}, and love{H157}{(H8799)} them that hate{H8130}{(H8802)} the LORD{H3068}? therefore{H2063} is wrath{H7110} upon thee from before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}.
  • 2 Chr 20:1-9 : 1 It came to pass after this{H310} also, that the children{H1121} of Moab{H4124}, and the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, and with them other beside the Ammonites{H5984}, came{H935}{(H8804)} against Jehoshaphat{H3092} to battle{H4421}. 2 Then there came{H935}{(H8799)} some that told{H5046}{(H8686)} Jehoshaphat{H3092}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, There cometh{H935}{(H8802)} a great{H7227} multitude{H1995} against thee from beyond{H5676} the sea{H3220} on this side Syria{H758}; and, behold, they be in Hazazontamar{H2688}, which is Engedi{H5872}. 3 And Jehoshaphat{H3092} feared{H3372}{(H8799)}, and set{H5414}{(H8799)} himself{H6440} to seek{H1875}{(H8800)} the LORD{H3068}, and proclaimed{H7121}{(H8799)} a fast{H6685} throughout{H5921} all Judah{H3063}. 4 And Judah{H3063} gathered themselves together{H6908}{(H8735)}, to ask{H1245}{(H8763)} help of the LORD{H3068}: even out of all the cities{H5892} of Judah{H3063} they came{H935}{(H8804)} to seek{H1245}{(H8763)} the LORD{H3068}. 5 And Jehoshaphat{H3092} stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in the congregation{H6951} of Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem{H3389}, in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, before{H6440} the new{H2319} court{H2691}, 6 And said{H559}{(H8799)}, O LORD{H3068} God{H430} of our fathers{H1}, art not thou God{H430} in heaven{H8064}? and rulest{H4910}{(H8802)} not thou over all the kingdoms{H4467} of the heathen{H1471}? and in thine hand{H3027} is there not power{H3581} and might{H1369}, so that none is able to withstand{H3320}{(H8692)} thee? 7 Art not thou our God{H430}, who didst drive out{H3423}{(H8689)} the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of this land{H776} before{H6440} thy people{H5971} Israel{H3478}, and gavest{H5414}{(H8799)} it to the seed{H2233} of Abraham{H85} thy friend{H157}{(H8802)} for ever{H5769}? 8 And they dwelt{H3427}{(H8799)} therein, and have built{H1129}{(H8799)} thee a sanctuary{H4720} therein for thy name{H8034}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, 9 If, when evil{H7451} cometh{H935}{(H8799)} upon us, as the sword{H2719}, judgment{H8196}, or pestilence{H1698}, or famine{H7458}, we stand{H5975}{(H8799)} before{H6440} this house{H1004}, and in thy presence{H6440},(for thy name{H8034} is in this house{H1004},) and cry{H2199}{(H8799)} unto thee in our affliction{H6869}, then thou wilt hear{H8085}{(H8799)} and help{H3467}{(H8686)}. 10 And now, behold, the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} and Moab{H4124} and mount{H2022} Seir{H8165}, whom thou wouldest not let{H5414}{(H8804)} Israel{H3478} invade{H935}{(H8800)}, when they came out{H935}{(H8800)} of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, but they turned{H5493}{(H8804)} from them, and destroyed{H8045}{(H8689)} them not; 11 Behold, I say, how they reward{H1580}{(H8802)} us, to come{H935}{(H8800)} to cast us out{H1644}{(H8763)} of thy possession{H3425}, which thou hast given us to inherit{H3423}{(H8689)}. 12 O our God{H430}, wilt thou not judge{H8199}{(H8799)} them? for we have no might{H3581} against{H6440} this great{H7227} company{H1995} that cometh{H935}{(H8802)} against us; neither know{H3045}{(H8799)} we{H587} what to do{H6213}{(H8799)}: but our eyes{H5869} are upon thee. 13 And all Judah{H3063} stood{H5975}{(H8802)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, with{H1571} their little ones{H2945}, their wives{H802}, and their children{H1121}. 14 Then upon Jahaziel{H3166} the son{H1121} of Zechariah{H2148}, the son{H1121} of Benaiah{H1141}, the son{H1121} of Jeiel{H3273}, the son{H1121} of Mattaniah{H4983}, a Levite{H3881} of the sons{H1121} of Asaph{H623}, came the Spirit{H7307} of the LORD{H3068} in the midst{H8432} of the congregation{H6951}; 15 And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hearken{H7181}{(H8685)} ye, all Judah{H3063}, and ye inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Jerusalem{H3389}, and thou king{H4428} Jehoshaphat{H3092}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} unto you, Be not afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} nor dismayed{H2865}{(H8735)} by reason{H6440} of this great{H7227} multitude{H1995}; for the battle{H4421} is not yours, but God's{H430}. 16 To morrow{H4279} go ye down{H3381}{(H8798)} against them: behold, they come up{H5927}{(H8802)} by the cliff{H4608} of Ziz{H6732}; and ye shall find{H4672}{(H8804)} them at the end{H5490} of the brook{H5158}, before{H6440} the wilderness{H4057} of Jeruel{H3385}. 17 Ye shall not need to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} in this{H2063} battle: set{H3320}{(H8690)} yourselves, stand{H5975}{(H8798)} ye still, and see{H7200}{(H8798)} the salvation{H3444} of the LORD{H3068} with you, O Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem{H3389}: fear{H3372}{(H8799)} not, nor be dismayed{H2865}{(H8735)}; to morrow{H4279} go out{H3318}{(H8798)} against{H6440} them: for the LORD{H3068} will be with you. 18 And Jehoshaphat{H3092} bowed{H6915}{(H8799)} his head with his face{H639} to the ground{H776}: and all Judah{H3063} and the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Jerusalem{H3389} fell{H5307}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, worshipping{H7812}{(H8692)} the LORD{H3068}. 19 And the Levites{H3881}, of the children{H1121} of the Kohathites{H6956}, and of the children{H1121} of the Korhites{H7145}, stood up{H6965}{(H8799)} to praise{H1984}{(H8763)} the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478} with a loud{H1419} voice{H6963} on high{H4605}. 20 And they rose early{H7925}{(H8686)} in the morning{H1242}, and went forth{H3318}{(H8799)} into the wilderness{H4057} of Tekoa{H8620}: and as they went forth{H3318}{(H8800)}, Jehoshaphat{H3092} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} me, O Judah{H3063}, and ye inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Jerusalem{H3389}; Believe{H539}{(H8685)} in the LORD{H3068} your God{H430}, so shall ye be established{H539}{(H8735)}; believe{H539}{(H8685)} his prophets{H5030}, so shall ye prosper{H6743}{(H8685)}. 21 And when he had consulted{H3289}{(H8735)} with the people{H5971}, he appointed{H5975}{(H8686)} singers{H7891}{(H8789)} unto the LORD{H3068}, and that should praise{H1984}{(H8764)} the beauty{H1927} of holiness{H6944}, as they went out{H3318}{(H8800)} before{H6440} the army{H2502}{(H8803)}, and to say{H559}{(H8802)}, Praise{H3034}{(H8685)} the LORD{H3068}; for his mercy{H2617} endureth for ever{H5769}. 22 And when{H6256} they began{H2490}{(H8689)} to sing{H7440} and to praise{H8416}, the LORD{H3068} set{H5414}{(H8804)} ambushments{H693}{(H8764)} against the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, Moab{H4124}, and mount{H2022} Seir{H8165}, which were come{H935}{(H8802)} against Judah{H3063}; and they were smitten{H5062}{(H8735)}. 23 For the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983} and Moab{H4124} stood up{H5975}{(H8799)} against the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of mount{H2022} Seir{H8165}, utterly to slay{H2763}{(H8687)} and destroy{H8045}{(H8687)} them: and when they had made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Seir{H8165}, every one{H376} helped{H5826}{(H8804)} to destroy{H4889} another{H7453}. 24 And when Judah{H3063} came{H935}{(H8804)} toward the watch tower{H4707}{(H8677)}{H4708} in the wilderness{H4057}, they looked{H6437}{(H8799)} unto the multitude{H1995}, and, behold, they were dead bodies{H6297} fallen{H5307}{(H8802)} to the earth{H776}, and none escaped{H6413}. 25 And when Jehoshaphat{H3092} and his people{H5971} came{H935}{(H8799)} to take away{H962}{(H8800)} the spoil{H7998} of them, they found{H4672}{(H8799)} among them in abundance{H7230} both riches{H7399} with the dead bodies{H6297}, and precious{H2532} jewels{H3627}, which they stripped off{H5337}{(H8762)} for themselves, more than{H369} they could carry away{H4853}: and they were three{H7969} days{H3117} in gathering{H962}{(H8802)} of the spoil{H7998}, it was so much{H7227}. 26 And on the fourth{H7243} day{H3117} they assembled{H6950}{(H8738)} themselves in the valley{H6010} of Berachah{H1294}; for there they blessed{H1288}{(H8765)} the LORD{H3068}: therefore the name{H8034} of the same place{H4725} was called{H7121}{(H8804)}, The valley{H6010} of Berachah{H1294}, unto this day{H3117}. 27 Then they returned{H7725}{(H8799)}, every man{H376} of Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem{H3389}, and Jehoshaphat{H3092} in the forefront{H7218} of them, to go again{H7725}{(H8800)} to Jerusalem{H3389} with joy{H8057}; for the LORD{H3068} had made them to rejoice{H8055}{(H8765)} over their enemies{H341}{(H8802)}. 28 And they came{H935}{(H8799)} to Jerusalem{H3389} with psalteries{H5035} and harps{H3658} and trumpets{H2689} unto the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. 29 And the fear{H6343} of God{H430} was on all the kingdoms{H4467} of those countries{H776}, when they had heard{H8085}{(H8800)} that the LORD{H3068} fought{H3898}{(H8738)} against the enemies{H341}{(H8802)} of Israel{H3478}. 30 So the realm{H4438} of Jehoshaphat{H3092} was quiet{H8252}{(H8799)}: for his God{H430} gave him rest{H5117}{(H8799)} round about{H5439}.
  • Ps 139:21 : 21 Do not I hate{H8130}{(H8799)} them, O LORD{H3068}, that hate{H8130}{(H8764)} thee? and am not I grieved{H6962}{(H8709)} with those that rise up{H8618} against thee?
  • Ezek 16:8 : 8 Now when I passed{H5674}{(H8799)} by thee, and looked{H7200}{(H8799)} upon thee, behold, thy time{H6256} was the time{H6256} of love{H1730}; and I spread{H6566}{(H8799)} my skirt{H3671} over thee, and covered{H3680}{(H8762)} thy nakedness{H6172}: yea, I sware{H7650}{(H8735)} unto thee, and entered{H935}{(H8799)} into a covenant{H1285} with thee, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, and thou becamest mine.
