I CHRONICLES IN E-PRIME WITH INTERLINEAR HEBREW IN IPA
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all “to be” verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the “is of identity” (instead of “John
is a teacher” we use “John teaches”), the “is of predication” (instead of “The apple is sweet” we
use “The apple tastes sweet”), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
“Blessed is the man” we use “God blesses the man”). By performing these linguistic procedures,
we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

Defeat and Death of Saul and His Sons

The Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons, and the Philistines struck down Jonathan,
Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

And went very the battle against Saul and hit the archers him
vajaçɛl min hajorim

and he was wounded of the archers.
82
4
Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and thrust me through with it,
otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me." But his armor bearer would not,
for he felt greatly afraid. Therefore, Saul took his sword and fell on it.
vajomɛr ʃa-ul ɛl noʃe çelav ʃəlof çarbəça vədakəreni va

Then said Saul unto bearer to his armor Draw your sword and thrust in
pɛn javo-u ha-arelim ha-elɛ vəhitaləlu vi vəlo ava noʃe

lest come uncircumcised these and abuse in and not would bearer
çelav ki jare mə-od vajikaç ʃa-ul haçɛrɛv

But his armor for afraid for he was not very and took Saul a sword
vajipol alɛha
and fell on.
5
When his armor bearer saw that Saul had died, he likewise fell on his sword and died.
vajar noʃe çelav ki met ʃa-ul vajipol gam hu

and saw bearer When his armor that was dead that Saul and fell likewise he
al haçɛrɛv vajamot
on the sword and died.
6
Thus Saul died with his three sons, and all those of his house died together.
vajtamat ʃa-ul uʃəloʃɛt banav vəçal beto jaçdav metu

so died Saul and his three sons and all his house together died.
7
When all the men of Israel in the valley saw that they had fled, and that Saul and his sons had
died, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and lived in them.
vajiru kal iʃ jisra-el aʃɛr ba-emɛk ki nasu vəçi

And saw all the men of Israel that [were] in the valley that they fled that

fəliʃtim vaje͜ʃəvu bahɛm

the Philistines and dwelled in.
83
8
It came about the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul
and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
vajhi mimaçorat vajavo-u fəliʃtim ləfaʃɛt ɛt

And it came to pass the next day when came the Philistines to strip
haçalalim vajimt͡sə-u ʃa-ul və-ɛt banav nofəlim bəhar gilboa

9
So they stripped him and took his head and his armor and sent messengers around the land of
the Philistines to carry the good news to their idols and to the people.
vajafʃituhu vajisu ɛt roʃo və-ɛt kelav vajʃalçu

when they had stripped him they took his head and his armor and sent

into the land of the Philistines around to carry to their idols and to the people.

They put his armor in the house of their gods and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.
vajasimu ɛt kelav bet və-ɛt gulgaləto takə-u bet dagon

And they put his armor in the house and his head fastened in the house of Dagon.
Jabesh-gilead's Tribute to Saul

11
When all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,
vajiʃmə-u kol javeʃ gilad kal aʃɛr asu fəliʃtim ləʃa-ul

And heard all Jabesh-gilead Gilead all that had done the Philistines to Saul.
12
all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and
brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted
seven days.

So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of
the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium,
making inquiry of it,
vajamat ʃa-ul bəma-alo aʃɛr ma-al javɛ al

the word of the LORD that not had he kept and also for asking
ba-ov lidro-oʃ
[one that had] a familiar spirit to inquire.
14
and did not inquire of the LORD. Therefore, He killed him and turned the kingdom to David
the son of Jesse.

And not had inquired of the LORD therefore he slew him and turned the kingdom
lədavid bɛn jiʃaj

David and all Israel went up to Baalah, namely, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to
bring up from there the ark of God, the LORD who enthrones Himself above the
cherubim, where they call His name.

106
9
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark,
because the oxen nearly upset it.

when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon and put forth Uzza his hand
lɛ-ɛçoz ɛt ha-aron ki ʃamətu habakar

10
The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, so He struck him down because he put out his
hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

And was kindled the anger of the LORD against Uzza so He struck because that

place Perez-uzza to this day.

And was afraid David of God day that saying How
avi elaj et aron ha-elohim

Obed-edom the Gittite.
vəlo hesir david ɛt aron elav ɛl ir

and not had brought So David the ark unto himself unto the city
107
david vajatehu ɛl bet oved edom hagiti

of David but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14

the LORD blessed the family of Obed-edom with all that he had.

And remained the ark of God with the family of Obed-edom in his house

and the Philistines came and spread in the valley of Rephaim.

David inquired of God, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? And will You give

17
When David heard it, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan, and came upon

Joab said, "May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they actually
number! But, my lord the king, do we not recognize them as all my lord's servants? Why
does my lord seek this thing? Why should he become a cause of guilt to Israel?"
vajomɛr jo-av josef javɛ al amo kahem me-a

And answered Joab so many more The LORD unto make his people as they a hundred

But he did not number Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's command seemed
abhorrent to Joab.

But Levi and Benjamin not had counted among for was abominable word

And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it; but as he almost destroyed it, the LORD
saw and felt sorry over the calamity, and said to the destroying angel, "Enough; now

very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your

20
Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." And all the assembly
blessed the LORD, the God of their fathers, and bowed low and did homage to the LORD
and to the king.

207
Sacrifices
21
On the next day they made sacrifices to the LORD and offered burnt offerings to the LORD,
1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams and 1,000 lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in
abundance for all Israel.

So they ate and drank that day before the LORD with great gladness. And they made

Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father; and he
prospered, and all Israel obeyed him.
vajeʃɛv ʃəlomo al kise javɛ ləmɛlɛç taçat david aviv

Then sat Solomon on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father

And all the princes and the mighty men and likewise all the sons of King

The LORD highly exalted Solomon in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him royal
majesty which they had not seen on any king before him in Israel.
vajgadel javɛ ɛt ʃəlomo ləmala lə-ene kal jisra-el

And magnified the LORD Solomon exceedingly in the sight all Israel
vajiten alav hod malçut aʃɛr lo haja al kal mɛlɛç

and bestowed on majesty on him royal as not have been on any king

26
Now David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
vədavid bɛn jiʃay malaç al jisra-el

and Thus David the son of Jesse reigned all Israel.
27
The period which he reigned over Israel reached forty years; he reigned in Hebron seven

Now the acts of King David, from first to last, we read in the chronicles of Samuel the seer,
