38 And the king went on to say to his servants: “Do YOU not know that it is a prince and a great man that has fallen this day in Israel?+

9 And as soon as these things were finished, the princes+ approached me, saying: “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated+ themselves from the peoples of the lands as regards their detestable things,+ namely, the Caʹnaan·ites,+ the Hitʹtites,+ the Perʹiz·zites,+ the Jebʹu·sites,+ the Amʹmon·ites,+ the Moʹab·ites,+ the Egyptians+ and the Amʹor·ites.+

8 and anyone that did not come+ in three days’ time according to the counsel of the princes+ and the older men—all his goods would be put under a ban+ and he himself be separated+ from the congregation of the exiled people.
