8 A land H776 of wheat, H2406 and barley, H8184 and vines, H1612 and fig trees, H8384 and pomegranates; H7416 a land H776 of oil H8081 olive, H2132 and honey; H1706
Butter H2529 of kine, H1241 and milk H2461 of sheep, H6629 with fat H2459 of lambs, H3733 and rams H352 of the breed H1121 of Bashan, H1316 and goats, H6260 with the fat H2459 of kidneys H3629 of wheat; H2406 and thou didst drink H8354 the pure H2561 blood H1818 of the grape. H6025
And they came thither H935 into the midst H8432 of the house, H1004 as though they would have fetched H3947 wheat; H2406 and they smote H5221 him under the fifth H2570 rib: and Rechab H7394 and Baanah H1196 his brother H251 escaped. H4422
And, behold, I will give H5414 to thy servants, H5650 the hewers H2404 that cut H3772 timber, H6086 twenty H6242 thousand H505 measures H3734 of beaten H4347 wheat, H2406 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 measures H3734 of barley, H8184 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 baths H1324 of wine, H3196 and twenty H6242 thousand H505 baths H1324 of oil. H8081 Then Huram H2361 the king H4428 of Tyre H6865 answered H559 in writing, H3791 which he sent H7971 to Solomon, H8010 Because the LORD H3068 hath loved H160 his people, H5971 he hath made H5414 thee king H4428 over them. Huram H2361 said H559 moreover, Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 that made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth, H776 who hath given H5414 to David H1732 the king H4428 a wise H2450 son, H1121 endued H3045 with prudence H7922 and understanding, H998 that might build H1129 an house H1004 for the LORD, H3068 and an house H1004 for his kingdom. H4438 And now I have sent H7971 a cunning H2450 man, H376 endued H3045 with understanding, H998 of Huram H2361 my father's, H1 The son H1121 of a woman H802 of the daughters H1323 of Dan, H1835 and his father H1 was a man H376 of Tyre, H6876 skilful H3045 to work H6213 in gold, H2091 and in silver, H3701 in brass, H5178 in iron, H1270 in stone, H68 and in timber, H6086 in purple, H713 in blue, H8504 and in fine linen, H948 and in crimson; H3758 also to grave H6605 any manner of graving, H6603 and to find out H2803 every device H4284 which shall be put H5414 to him, with thy cunning men, H2450 and with the cunning men H2450 of my lord H113 David H1732 thy father. H1 Now therefore the wheat, H2406 and the barley, H8184 the oil, H8081 and the wine, H3196 which my lord H113 hath spoken H559 of, let him send H7971 unto his servants: H5650
And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that every place H4725 shall be, where there were a thousand H505 vines H1612 at a thousand H505 silverlings, H3701 it shall even be for briers H8068 and thorns. H7898
And they shall eat up H398 thine harvest, H7105 and thy bread, H3899 which thy sons H1121 and thy daughters H1323 should eat: H398 they shall eat up H398 thy flocks H6629 and thine herds: H1241 they shall eat up H398 thy vines H1612 and thy fig trees: H8384 they shall impoverish H7567 thy fenced H4013 cities, H5892 wherein thou H2007 trustedst, H982 with the sword. H2719
For she did not know H3045 that I gave H5414 her corn, H1715 and wine, H8492 and oil, H3323 and multiplied H7235 her silver H3701 and gold, H2091 which they prepared H6213 for Baal. H1168
Although the fig tree H8384 shall not blossom, H6524 neither shall fruit H2981 be in the vines; H1612 the labour H4639 of the olive H2132 shall fail, H3584 and the fields H7709 shall yield H6213 no meat; H400 the flock H6629 shall be cut off H1504 from the fold, H4356 and there shall be no herd H1241 in the stalls: H7517

Commentary on Deuteronomy 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
Moses had charged parents in teaching their children to whet the word of God upon them (ch. 6:7) by frequent repetition of the same things over and over again; and here he himself takes the same method of instructing the Israelites as his children, frequently inculcating the same precepts and cautions, with the same motives or arguments to enforce them, that what they heard so often might abide with them. In this chapter Moses gives them,
Deu 8:1-9
The charge here given them is the same as before, to keep and do all God's commandments. Their obedience must be,
Deu 8:10-20
