3 for his son. And he sent his officers to collect those who were invited to the marriage; but they declined the

4 invitation. Then he again sent other officers, commanding, ‘ Say to the in- vited, Consider that I have prepared my banquet; my bullocks and fat calves are killed, and everything is ready: come then to the marriage.

5 But treating the matter with contempt, they went off, one to his own farm,

6 and another to his shop; while the others, seizing the oliicers, maltreated

7 and murdered them. The king, on learning this, became furious; and sending his troops, he destroyed those murderers, and pillaged their city. He then said to his oiiicers, ‘ The marriage is ready, but those invited

G0 out, there- 10 II I2 fore, to the main roads, and as many as you can End, bring them in to the marriagef Those officers, going out into the main roads, accordingly col- lected all they could {ind, both bad and good; and the wedding was filled with guests. But the king entering to look at the guests, he observed a man who was not wearing a marriage robe ; and he said to him, ‘ How, my good fellow, did you get in here with~ out a wedding robe?’ He, however, remained silent.

for his brother! There were in our 25 part seven brothers: and the first, after marrying, died childless, and left the woman to his brother; and the second, in turn, to the third, up to the seventh.
