    Long ago I read in either Chronicles, or Kings where God, (Jah), laid a curse upon the kenites and I can't find the verse again.

    Do you know what book, chapter and verses that they are in the bible? Bible search engines do not work in my searching.

    Hi Steven. I'm unsure whether this verse is what you're looking for - it's the only one I could think of.

    Numbers 24:21,22: "And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive."

    This is Balaam speaking after receiving a vision & hearing the following words from God (v4: "(who) heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open"). When we get to the part concerning the Kenites, Balaam took up this parable (parable here, according to the Hebrew lexicon & specific to these words from Balaam is, 'a prophetic figurative discourse'). For the same Hebrew word ('mashal'), has a variety of definitions, but particular applications.

    So verse 22, seems to be the prophetic utterance by God through Balaam about the dismal end of the Kenites.
