12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Though they may have been but a small number, very few and foreigners there,

and though they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
he allowed no man to harm them, and he reproved kings on their behalf.

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
so that he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his elders prudence.
