But the Ammonite king disregarded the message sent by Jephthah.

So Haman came in, and the king said to him,“What should be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” Haman thought to himself,“Who is it that the king would want to honor more than me?”

One day, as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. They ran away to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

“But you, his son Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, although you knew all this.

When the army is taken away, the king of the south will become arrogant. He will be responsible for the death of thousands and thousands of people, but he will not continue to prevail.

Peter said to him,“If they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away!”

So the host who invited both of you will come and say to you,‘Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, you will begin to move to the least important place.

He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact.
