Obadiah 19-21
New Living Translation
19 “Then my people living in the Negev
will occupy the mountains of Edom.
Those living in the foothills of Judah[a]
will possess the Philistine plains
and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria.
And the people of Benjamin
will occupy the land of Gilead.
20 The exiles of Israel will return to their land
and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath.
The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north[b]
will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev.
21 Those who have been rescued[c] will go up to[d] Mount Zion in Jerusalem
to rule over the mountains of Edom.
And the Lord himself will be king!”
Obadiah 19-21
King James Version
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
