And they decreed a fast day, and sat on ashes and prayed to the God of Heaven for mercy.
And a good plan occurred to Yehudah, the eldest, Shim’on, the second of the sons, Yoḥanan, the third, Yonathan, the fourth, and El’azar, the youngest.
And their father blessed them and said, “Yehudah, my son, you are like Yehudah the son of Yaakov, who was like unto a lion.
Shim’on, my son, you are like Shim’on the son of Yaakov who slew the people of Shkḥem.
Yoḥanan, my son, you are like Avner the son of Ner, the head of the host of Israel.
