When the people heard this troubling word ¹  they mourned; ²  no one put on his ornaments.

When I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me. ¹ 

In the troubling thoughts ¹  of the dreams ²  in the night when a deep sleep ³  falls on men,

So the five men journeyed on ¹  and arrived in Laish. They noticed that the people there ²  were living securely, like the Sidonians do, ³  undisturbed and unsuspecting. No conqueror was troubling them in any way. ⁴  They lived far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. ⁵ 

For we have been sold ¹  – both I and my people – to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation! If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king.”
