apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:7 @ And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves: these things were given of the king's allowance, according as he promised, to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:31 @ Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father's sepulchre.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:33 @ These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:34 @ And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:35 @ And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:36 @ And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:38 @ And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:39 @ Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:46 @ And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:47 @ And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:48 @ And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:50 @ Nevertheless the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:53 @ Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them; for he delivered all into their hands.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:2 @ The Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:5 @ If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:1 @ Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:5 @ Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:7 @ And he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:13 @ Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:14 @ And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:16 @ And he said, Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:17 @ And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:18 @ And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:24 @ O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:3 @ But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:4 @ If he bid them make war the one against the other, they do it: if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and break down mountains walls and towers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:7 @ And yet he is but one man: if he command to kill, they kill; if he command to spare, they spare;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:8 @ If he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make desolate, they make desolate; if he command to build, they build;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:9 @ If he command to cut down, they cut down; if he command to plant, they plant.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:10 @ So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:12 @ O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed? And he held his tongue.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:21 @ He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife. and remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:24 @ And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:31 @ And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:33 @ Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he began to speak of the truth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:34 @ O ye men, are not women strong? great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:35 @ Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:41 @ And with that he held his peace. And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is Truth, and mighty above all things.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:43 @ Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thou camest to thy kingdom,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:44 @ And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:48 @ He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:49 @ Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:54 @ He wrote also concerning. the charges, and the priests' vestments wherein they minister;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:56 @ And he commanded to give to all that kept the city pensions and wages.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:57 @ He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus had set apart; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the same charged he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:58 @ Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:61 @ And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:62 @ And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had given them freedom and liberty

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:3 @ And all their brethren played, and he made them go up together with them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:15 @ But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, of the Chaldees;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:19 @ With commandment that he should carry away the same vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem; and that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:27 @ And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:32 @ And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, yea, or make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out of his own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and all his goods seized for the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:7:15 @ For that he had turned the counsel of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the Lord God of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:4 @ And the king did him honour: for he found grace in his sight in all his requests.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:7 @ For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel the ordinances and judgments.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:80 @ Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of our Lord; but he made us gracious before the kings of Persia, so that they gave us food;

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:39 @ And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:41 @ And he read in the broad court before the holy porch from morning unto midday, before both men and women; and the multitude gave heed unto the law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:45 @ Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude: for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:9:46 @ And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:1 @ And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:3 @ And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:4 @ And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:5 @ And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:6 @ Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:10 @ And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:16 @ Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:17 @ Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:19 @ Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:20 @ And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:22 @ And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:23 @ He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:24 @ And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:30 @ And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:31 @ And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:50 @ And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:51 @ In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:2 @ And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:6 @ And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:7 @ He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:23 @ Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king's commandment.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:24 @ Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:25 @ Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:26 @ Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:28 @ So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:49 @ Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:63 @ To day he shall be lifted up and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is come to nothing.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:65 @ And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:66 @ As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:69 @ So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:70 @ And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:3 @ So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:4 @ In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:5 ...For He pursued...

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:7 @ He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:8 @ Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:9 @ So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:11 @ Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:12 @ Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:14 @ He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:15 @ So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:16 @ And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:23 @ Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:27 @ Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:28 @ He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:29 @ Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:30 @ He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:31 @ Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:32 @ So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:33 @ And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:34 @ Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:35 @ To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:36 @ And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:37 @ So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:39 @ And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:56 @ But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:2 @ To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:3 @ Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:5 @ In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:27 @ Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:28 @ The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:30 @ And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:35 @ Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:41 @ Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:42 @ So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:3 @ Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Arabattine, because they besieged Gael: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:4 @ Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:5 @ He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:6 @ Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:7 @ So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:8 @ And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging thereto, he returned into Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:18 @ So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:19 @ Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:21 @ Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:22 @ And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:23 @ And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:28 @ Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:29 @ From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:32 @ He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:33 @ So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:34 @ Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:35 @ This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and and burnt it with fire.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:39 @ He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:40 @ Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:41 @ But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:42 @ Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:43 @ So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:49 @ Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:65 @...south, where he smote Hebron, and...

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:66 @ From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Samaria.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:68 @ So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:3 @ Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:4 @ Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:7 @ Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:8 @ Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:9 @ And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:10 @ Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:14 @ Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:15 @ And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:17 @ Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:20 @ So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:23 @ We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:28 @ Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:44 @ Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:45 @ Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:46 @ Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:49 @ But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:51 @ As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:55 @ At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:56 @ Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:57 @ Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:60 @ So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:62 @ Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:63 @ Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:2 @ And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:3 @ Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see their faces.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:7 @ Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, and in the king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:9 @ And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:14 @ For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:15 @ So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:16 @ Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:19 @ After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:20 @ Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:24 @ He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:25 @ On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not able to abide their force, he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:29 @ He came therefore to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably. Howbeit the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by violence.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:30 @ Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:31 @ Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:34 @ But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and abused them shamefully, and spake proudly,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:35 @ And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:40 @ But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and there he prayed, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:42 @ Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:43 @ So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle: but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the battle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:44 @ Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they cast away their weapons, and fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:47 @ Afterwards they took the spoils, and the prey, and smote off Nicanors head, and his right hand, which he stretched out so proudly, and brought them away, and hanged them up toward Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:7 @ And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:1 @ Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:6 @ Who seeing the multitude of the other army to he so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:7 @ When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:8 @ Nevertheless unto them that remained he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:12 @ As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:14 @ Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:22 @ As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:32 @ But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:34 @ Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jordan with all his host upon the sabbath day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:36 @ But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:43 @ Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:47 @ With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:50 @ Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:51 @ And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:52 @ He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:53 @ Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:54 @ Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of the prophets

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:55 @ And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:57 @ Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king: whereupon the land of Judea was in rest two years.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:63 @ Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:64 @ Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:65 @ But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:66 @ And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:67 @ And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:69 @ Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:70 @ Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:71 @ Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:72 @ When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:73 @ Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:1 @ In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:2 @ Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:3 @ Moreover Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:4 @ For said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he join with Alexander against us:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:5 @ Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:6 @ Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together an host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle: he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should be delivered him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:9 @ Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:11 @ And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and the mount Sion and about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:15 @ Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:16 @ He said, Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and confederate.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:17 @ Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:20 @ Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king's friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:22 @ Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:25 @ He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:32 @ And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:46 @ Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel; for he had afflicted them very sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:47 @ But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:50 @ And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went down: and that day was Demetrius slain.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:53 @ For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:58 @ Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:59 @ Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:60 @ Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where he met the two kings, and gave them and their friends silver and gold, and many presents, and found favour in their sight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:63 @ And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:64 @ Now when his accusers saw that he was honored according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:68 @ Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right sorry, and returned into Antioch.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:74 @ So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:75 @ And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:77 @ Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:84 @ But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:88 @ Now when king ALexander heard these things, he honoured Jonathan yet more.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:89 @ And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Spain in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:3 @ Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:5 @ Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:7 @ Afterward Jonathan, when he had gone with the king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:9 @ Whereupon he sent ambasadors unto king Demetrius, saying, Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in thy father's kingdom:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:10 @ For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:11 @ Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:12 @ Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:13 @ Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:15 @ But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:20 @ At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea to take the tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:22 @ Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:23 @ Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:24 @ And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, where he found favour in his sight.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:27 @ And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:28 @ Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:38 @ After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:40 @ And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:41 @ In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:53 @ Nevertheless he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him according to the benefits which he had received of him, but troubled him very sore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:58 @ Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:59 @ His brother Simon also he made captain from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of Egypt.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:60 @ Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:61 @ From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:62 @ Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:64 @ He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in the country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:66 @ But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, and set a garrison in it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:72 @ Afterwards turning again to battle, he put them to flight, and so they ran away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:1 @ Now when Jonathan saw that time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:2 @ He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other places, for the same purpose.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:16 @ For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:25 @ He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:26 @ He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:27 @ Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:32 @ And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed through all the country,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:33 @ Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppa, and won it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:34 @ For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:35 @ After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:39 @ Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:40 @ Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:42 @ Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:44 @ Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou brought all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:46 @ So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:47 @ And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:2 @ And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:10 @ So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:11 @ Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absolom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:14 @ Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:15 @ Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, concerning the business that was committed unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:16 @ Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:17 @ Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:19 @ So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled neither would he let Jonathan go.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:20 @ And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:21 @ Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:22 @ Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:23 @ And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:28 @ Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:29 @ And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:30 @ This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:32 @ And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:34 @ Moreover Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because all that Tryphon did was to spoil.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:43 @ In those days Simon camped against Gaza and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:48 @ Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:50 @ Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one with them: which thing he granted them; and when he had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:52 @ He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:53 @ And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:2 @ But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:3 @ Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:4 @ As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:5 @ And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:7 @ And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleaness, neither was there any that resisted him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:10 @ He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:11 @ He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:14 @ Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:15 @ He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied vessels of the temple.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:26 @ For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:33 @ And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies had been before; but he set a garrison of Jews there:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:34 @ Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:35 @ The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:37 @ But he placed Jews therein. and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:40 @ For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:42 @ Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:43 @ Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:45 @ And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:11 @ Wherefore being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled unto Dora, which lieth by the sea side:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:12 @ For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:14 @ And when he had compassed the city round about, and joined ships close to the town on the sea side, he vexed the city by land and by sea, neither suffered he any to go out or in.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:21 @ If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:22 @ The same things wrote he likewise unto Demetrius the king, and Attalus, to Ariarathes, and Arsaces,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:25 @ So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second day, assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:27 @ Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became strange unto him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:28 @ Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:32 @ So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king's message.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:36 @ But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:39 @ And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:41 @ And when he had built up Cedrou, he set horsemen there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:4 @ So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:6 @ So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:7 @ That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies' horsemen were very many.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:9 @ At that time was Judas John's brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:10 @ So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:11 @ Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:12 @ For he was the high priest's son in law.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:13 @ Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:14 @ Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:15 @ Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:17 @ In which doing he committed a great treachery, and recompensed evil for good.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:18 @ Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:19 @ He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:20 @ And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:22 @ Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished: so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:23 @ As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:24 @ Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:34 @ And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:43 @ And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:45 @ He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:47 @ So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:5 @ And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:7 @ And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:3 @ Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before thee:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:5 @ And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:7 @ And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:10 @ He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:13 @ He answered me, and said, I went into a forest into a plain, and the trees took counsel,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:20 @ Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a right judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:21 @ For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods: even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:25 @ What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called? of these things have I asked.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:26 @ Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteth fast to pass away,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:34 @ And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten above the most Highest: for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast much exceeded.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:36 @ And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you: for he hath weighed the world in the balance.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:37 @ By measure hath he measured the times; and by number hath he numbered the times; and he doth not move nor stir them, until the said measure be fulfilled.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:40 @ So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:41 @ Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:47 @ And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:50 @ Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than the smoke; but the drops and the smoke remain behind: so the quantity which is past did more exceed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:52 @ He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy life, I am not sent to shew thee; for I do not know it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:6 @ And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:19 @ Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and come not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:33 @ And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake: lovest thou that people better than he that made them?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:35 @ And he said unto me, Thou canst not. And I said, Wherefore, Lord? whereunto was I born then? or why was not my mother's womb then my grave, that I might not have seen the travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the stock of Israel?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:36 @ And he said unto me, Number me the things that are not yet come, gather me together the dross that are scattered abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:38 @ And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:40 @ Then said he unto me, Like as thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my people.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:42 @ And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a ring: like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:44 @ Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:46 @ And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and say unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth ten children at once.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:48 @ Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:51 @ He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:1 @ And he said unto me, In the beginning, when the earth was made, before the borders of the world stood, or ever the winds blew,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:8 @ And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob's hand held first the heel of Esau.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:13 @ So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:29 @ And when he talked with me, behold, I looked by little and little upon him before whom I stood.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:30 @ And these words said he unto me; I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:32 @ For thy voice is heard before the most High: for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:33 @ And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort and fear not

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:35 @ And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:58 @ That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said: but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:59 @ For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:62 @ I answered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the most High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy upon them which are not yet come into the world,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:67 @ For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:68 @ And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:69 @ And being judge, if he should not forgive them that are cured with his word, and put out the multitude of contentions,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:1 @ And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:19 @ Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of Esdras, before he was taken up: and I said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:37 @ Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:46 @ Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:1 @ He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee before,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:2 @ Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:17 @ And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husbandman ls himself, so is his husbandry also: for it was the time of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:26 @ So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:47 @ So when he grew up, and came to the time that he should have a wife, I made a feast.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:3 @ And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:6 @ But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:9 @ And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:10 @ But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:20 @ Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:23 @ He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:26 @ The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:28 @ And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:30 @ And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:35 @ But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:38 @ And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:39 @ And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:40 @ Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:49 @ Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:50 @ And then shall he shew them great wonders.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:52 @ And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the day time.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:57 @ Then went I forth into the field, giving praise and thanks greatly unto the most High because of his wonders which he did in time;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:58 @ And because he governeth the same, and such things as fall in their seasons: and there I sat three days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:3 @ Then said he unto me, In the bush I did manifestly reveal myself unto Moses, and talked with him, when my people served in Egypt:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:23 @ And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for forty days.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:27 @ Then went I forth, as he commanded, and gathered all the people together, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:32 @ And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:37 @ So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:39 @ Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of it was like fire.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:26 @ For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:39 @ And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall open it; and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star stirred to cause fear toward the east and west wind, shall be destroyed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:5 @ Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that may drive them away?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:8 @ The mighty Lord sendeth the plagues and who is he that can drive them away?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:9 @ A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may quench it?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:10 @ He shall cast lightnings, and who shall not fear? he shall thunder, and who shall not be afraid?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:13 @ For strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:41 @ He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away: and he that buyeth, as one that will lose:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:50 @ So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:53 @ Let not the sinner say that he hath not sinned: for God shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before the Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:56 @ In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:57 @ He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:58 @ He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:59 @ He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:60 @ In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:61 @ He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:63 @ Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:64 @ Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:2 @ God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:12 @ For he cast them out that fought within the holy city.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:14 @ For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:15 @ Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:18 @ Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:21 @ Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring it; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded the priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon with the water.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:34 @ Then the king, inclosing the place, made it holy, after he had tried the matter.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:35 @ And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on those whom he would gratify.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:3 @ And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:4 @ It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:5 @ And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:7 @ Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:9 @ It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:13 @ The same things also were reported in the writings and commentaries of Neemias; and how he founding a library gathered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy gifts.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:18 @ As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:29 @ For as the master builder of a new house must care for the whole building; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof: even so I think it is with us.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:14 @ So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:15 @ But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to he kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:17 @ For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:24 @ Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:2 @ Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:5 @ He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:6 @ For he saw that it was impossible that the state should continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look thereunto.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:9 @ Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:10 @ Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into his hand the rule he forthwith brought his own nation to Greekish fashion.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:11 @ And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:12 @ For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, and made them wear a hat.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:21 @ Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety: whereupon he came to Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:22 @ Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:24 @ But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:25 @ So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:27 @ So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sostratis the ruler of the castle required it:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:32 @ Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:33 @ Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:34 @ Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed, him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:38 @ And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:45 @ But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:47 @ Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:6 @ But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:7 @ Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:8 @ In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:9 @ Thus he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:10 @ And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:11 @ Now when this that was done came to the king's car, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:15 @ Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:16 @ And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and honour of the place, he gave them away.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:17 @ And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:18 @...from his presumption, as Heliodorus was,...

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:21 @ So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:22 @ And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more barbarous than he that set him there;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:24 @ He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:25 @ Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did forbear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:26 @ And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:14 @ For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:15 @ Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:16 @ And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:21 @ But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:22 @ That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and for the old friendship with them find favour.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:23 @ But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereon was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:28 @ And leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:30 @ But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:4 @ Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:5 @ Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:6 @ The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:8 @ But he answered in his own language, and said, No. Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the former did.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:9 @ And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:10 @ After him was the third made a mocking stock: and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth his hands manfully.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:12 @ Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing regarded the pains.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:14 @ So when he was ready to die he said thus, It is good, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be raised up again by him: as for thee, thou shalt have no resurrection to life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:16 @ Then looked he unto the king, and said, Thou hast power over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt; yet think not that our nation is forsaken of God;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:17 @ But abide a while, and behold his great power, how he will torment thee and thy seed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:24 @ Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:26 @ And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised him that she would counsel her son.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:33 @ And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:2 @ And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:3 @ And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the blood that cried unto him,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:4 @ And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, and the blasphemies committed against his name; and that he would shew his hatred against the wicked.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:5 @ Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:6 @ Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:7 @ But specially took he advantage of the night for such privy attempts, insomuch that the fruit of his holiness was spread every where.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:8 @ So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king's affairs.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:9 @ Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:11 @ Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:2 @ For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:3 @ Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:4 @ Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgment of GOd now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jew s.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:5 @ But the Lord Almighty, the God of Isreal, smote him with an incurable and invisible plague: or as soon as he had spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:6 @ And that most justly: for he had tormented other men's bowels with many and strange torments.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:7 @ Howbeit he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey: but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:8 @ And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:9 @ So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:10 @ And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his intolerable stink.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:11 @ Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:12 @ And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:14 @ That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common buryingplace,) he would set at liberty:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:15 @ And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:16 @ And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:17 @ Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgment of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:23 @ But considering that even my father, at what time he led an army into the high countries. appointed a successor,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:27 @ For I am persuaded that he understanding my mind will favourably and graciously yield to your desires.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:28 @ Thus the murderer and blasphemer having suffered most grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable death in a strange country in the mountains.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:4 @ When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:11 @ So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:13 @ Whereupon being accused of the king's friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:14 @ But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:16 @ Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:21 @ But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:22 @ So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately took the two castles.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:23 @ And having good success with his weapons in all things he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty thousand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:24 @ Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:25 @ But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:32 @ As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gawra, where Chereas was governor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:2 @ And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make the city an habitation of the Gentiles,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:5 @ So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five furlongs, and he laid sore siege unto it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:6 @ Now when they that were with Maccabeus heard that he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good angel to deliver Israel.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:13 @...and considering that the Hebrews could...

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:14 @ And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs be a friend unto them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:18 @ Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as might be.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:32 @ I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:36 @ But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:5 @ When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:6 @ And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against those murderers of his brethren, and burnt the haven by night, and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither he slew.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:7 @ And when the town was shut up, he went backward, as if he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppa.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:8 @ But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to do in like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:9 @ He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:13 @ He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people of divers countries; and the name of it was Caspis.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:18 @ But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places: for before he had dispatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:21 @ Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnion: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:23 @ Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:24 @ Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents, and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, should not be regarded.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:26 @ Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the temple of Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand persons.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:27 @ And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily: wherein also was great provision of engines and darts.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:35 @ At which time Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company, who was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by force; and when he would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:37 @ And with that he began in his own language, and sung psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to flight.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:43 @ And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:44 @ For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:45 @ And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought. Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:3 @ Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:8 @ For inasmuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:10 @ Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:11 @ And that he would not suffer the people, that had even now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nations.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:14 @ So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:15 @ And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:18 @ Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:19 @ And marched toward Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his men:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:21 @ But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:4 @ Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:5 @ Howbeit having gotten opportunity to further his foolish enterprize, and being called into counsel by Demetrius, and asked how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he answered thereunto:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:6 @ Those of the Jews that he called Assideans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war and are seditious, and will not let the rest be in peace.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:12 @ And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:19 @ Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotus, and Mattathias, to make peace.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:24 @ And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he love the man from his heart

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:25 @ He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:26 @ But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, and considering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward the state; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king's successor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:27 @ Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:28 @ When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:29 @ But because there was no dealing against the king, he watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:30 @ Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:31 @ But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas' policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commanded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:32 @ And when they sware that they could not tell where the man was whom he sought,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:33 @ He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:34 @ After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:38 @ For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:39 @ So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:40 @ For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:41 @ Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side fell upon his sword;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:43 @ But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:44 @ But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:45 @ Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:46 @ When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:5 @ Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:8 @ Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:9 @ And so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won afore, he made them more cheerful.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:10 @ And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave them their charge, shewing them therewithall the falsehood of the heathen, and the breach of oaths.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:11 @ Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with defence of shields and spears, as with comfortable and good words: and beside that, he told them a dream worthy to be believed, as if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:21 @ Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:22 @ Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:4 @ Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:39 @ And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:48 @ So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:52 @ So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:56 @ So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.

apocrypha_kjv@Susanna:1:59 @ Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:18 @ And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:1:22 @ And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother's son.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:3 @ But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:6 @ Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:8 @ But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:15 @ And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:1 @ In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:3 @ And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:14 @ Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:4:19 @ Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:3 @ Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:4 @ Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:5 @ But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:8 @ Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:9 @ So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:11 @ To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:12 @ Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:16 @ So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:17 @ But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:20 @ Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:5:21 @ For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:7 @ And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:8 @ As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:10 @ The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:12 @ And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:6:17 @ And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:4 @ Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:5 @...health: and Tobias said, He is...

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:7 @ And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:9 @ So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:13 @ Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:7:17 @ Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:2 @ And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:3 @ The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:10 @ Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:12 @ He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:14 @ And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:19 @ And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:20 @ For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:8:21 @ And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:9:4 @ But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:3 @ Therefore he was very sorry.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:4 @ Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:6 @ To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:7 @ But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:11 @ And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:10:12 @ And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:1 @ After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:8 @ Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:11 @ And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers' eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:12 @ And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:13 @ And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:14 @ And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:16 @ Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:11:17 @ But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:3 @ For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:5 @ So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:6 @ Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:12:17 @ But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:2 @ For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:3 @ Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:4 @ There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:5 @ And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:6 @ If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:9 @ O Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy children's works, and will have mercy again on the sons of the righteous.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:13:10 @ Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miserable.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:2 @ And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:3 @ And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:10 @ And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:11 @ Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:12 @ And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:13 @ Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:14 @ And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:15 @ But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:2 @ For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:8 @ Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:13 @ For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:14 @ For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:12 @ Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:13 @ He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:14 @ He was made to reprove our thoughts.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:15 @ He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:16 @ We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:18 @ For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:20 @ Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:6 @ As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:9 @ They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:11 @ For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:7 @ But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:10 @ He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:11 @ Yea speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:14 @ For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:15 @ This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:19 @ For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:5 @ How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:16 @ Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:17 @ He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:18 @ He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:19 @ He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:20 @ His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:5 @ Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:7 @ For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:6:14 @ Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:15 @ God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:17 @ For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:2 @ And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:6 @ For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:9:13 @ For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:3 @ But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:12 @ She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:14 @ For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:11:16 @ That they might know, that wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same also shall he be punished.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:26 @ But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgment worthy of God.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:4 @ But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:11 @ Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:13 @ And taking the very refuse among those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:15 @ And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:16 @ For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:17 @ Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:18 @ For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:8 @ But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:15 @ For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:17 @ Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:7 @ For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:8 @ And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:9 @ Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:11 @ Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:16 @ For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:17 @ For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:7 @ For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:17 @ For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:21 @ For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:22 @ So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:23 @ For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:1 @ As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;
