Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

few in number		In the seige of Jerusalem there died 1,100,000 persons, and more than 90,000 were carried captive; and, having afterwards provoked the Romans by their crimes and rebellions, they persecuted them nearly to extirpation; to which, if the tens of thousands which were slaughtered year after year in every country be added, it appears wonderful that there were any remains left. Deu 4:27; Lev 26:22; 2Ki 13:7; 2Ki 24:14; Neh 7:4; Isa 1:9; Isa 24:6; Jer 42:2; Jer 52:28-30; Mar 13:20; Rom 9:27-29
