Isaiah 39:7 KJV
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Thou and Ye
- thy, thee, thou one person
In the King James Bible, thee, thou, thy, and thine always mean one person, and ye, you, and your more than one: a difference modern English lost. Why keep these words?
Matthew Henry
- Isaiah 39:1–8This chapter is the same as 2 Kgs 20:12–19.
