TSK · Proverbs 27:21

The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."

Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.

Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.

and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.

Beloved, don't be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you.
