bes@Genesis:41:23 @ And other seven ears, thin and blasted with the wind, sprang up close to them.

bes@Genesis:41:24 @ And the seven thin and blasted ears devoured the seven fine and full ears: so I spoke to the interpreters, and there was no one to explain it to me.

bes@Genesis:41:25 @ And Joseph said to Pharao, The dream of Pharao is one; whatever God does, he has shewn to Pharao.

bes@Genesis:41:26 @ The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years; the dream of Pharao is one.

bes@Genesis:41:27 @ And the seven thin kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven thin and blasted ears are seven years; there shall be seven years of famine.

bes@Genesis:41:28 @ And as for the word which I have told Pharao, whatsoever God intends to do, he has shewn to Pharao:

bes@Genesis:41:29 @ behold, for seven years there is coming great plenty in all the land of Egypt.

bes@Genesis:41:30 @ But there shall come seven years of famine after these, and they shall forget the plenty that shall be in all Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land.

bes@Genesis:41:32 @ And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharao twice, it is because the saying which is from God shall be true, and God will hasten to accomplish it.

bes@Genesis:41:33 @ Now then, look out a wise and prudent man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

bes@Genesis:41:34 @ And let Pharao make and appoint local governors over the land; and let them take up a fifth part of all the produce of the land of Egypt for the seven years of the plenty.

bes@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do ye lodge in front of the wall? if ye do so again, I will stretch out my hand upon you. From that time they came not on the sabbath.

bes@Esther:2:18 @ And the king made a banquet for all his friends and great men for seven days, and he highly celebrated the marriage of Esther; and he made a release to those who were under his dominion.

bes@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not discovered her (note:)Gr. country(:note) kindred; for so Mardochaeus commanded her, to fear God, and perform his commandments, as when she was with him: and Esther changed not her manner of life.

bes@Esther:2:23 @ And the king examined the two chamberlains, and hanged them: and the king gave orders to make a note for a memorial in the royal (note:)Gr. library(:note) records of the good offices of Mardochaeus, as a commendation.

Do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.

bes@Esther:5:2 @ And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me.

bes@Esther:7:4 @ For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the (note:)See. Hebrews.(:note) slanderer is not worthy of the king’s palace.

bes@Esther:7:8 @ And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Wilt thou even force my wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.

bes@Esther:7:9 @ And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman.

bes@Esther:7:10 @ So Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochaeus: and then the king’s wrath was appeased.

bes@Esther:8:1 @ And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.

bes@Esther:9:25 @ also how he went in to the king, telling him to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.

bes@Esther:9:26 @ Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae;) because of the words of this letter, and because of all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.

bes@Esther:9:27 @ And Mardochaeus established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them to observe it, neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days were to be a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.

bes@Jdt:13:10 @ And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.

bes@Jdt:13:13 @ And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.

bes@Jdt:13:20 @ And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.

bes@Jdt:14:11 @ And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.

bes@Jdt:14:13 @ So they came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.

bes@Jdt:14:17 @ After he went into the tent where Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried,

bes@Jdt:15:2 @ And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.

bes@Jdt:15:7 @ And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.

bes@Jdt:15:12 @ Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.

bes@Jdt:16:5 @ He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.

bes@Jdt:16:17 @ Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgement, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.

bes@Wis:1:1 @ Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.

bes@Wis:1:7 @ For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.

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

bes@Wis: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:

bes@Wis:2:10 @ Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.

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

bes@Wis:2:22 @ As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.

bes@Wis:2:23 @ For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.

bes@Wis:3:8 @ They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

bes@Wis:3:17 @ For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

bes@Wis:3:19 @ For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

bes@Wis:4:8 @ For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.

bes@Wis:4:9 @ But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.

bes@Wis:4:16 @ Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.

bes@Wis:5:2 @ When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for.

bes@Wis:5:12 @ Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man cannot know where it went through:

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

bes@Wis:5:18 @ He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgement instead of an helmet.

bes@Wis:5:22 @ And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.

bes@Wis:6:1 @ Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.

bes@Wis:6:4 @ Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;

bes@Wis:6:5 @ Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgement shall be to them that be in high places.

bes@Wis:6:10 @ For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.

bes@Wis:6:20 @ Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

bes@Wis:6:22 @ As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.

bes@Wis:7:11 @ All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.

bes@Wis:7:13 @ I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.

bes@Wis:7:16 @ For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.

bes@Wis: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:

bes@Wis:7:18 @ The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons:

bes@Wis:7:26 @ For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.

bes@Wis:7:27 @ And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.

bes@Wis:8:4 @ For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.

bes@Wis:8:11 @ I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgement, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.

bes@Wis:9:3 @ And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgement with an upright heart:

bes@Wis:9:5 @ For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgement and laws.

bes@Wis:9:7 @ Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

bes@Wis:9:12 @ So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.

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

bes@Wis:10:10 @ When the righteous fled from his brother’s wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:11:3 @ They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.

bes@Wis:11:9 @ For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.

bes@Wis:11:15 @ But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance;

bes@Wis:11:18 @ Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:

bes@Wis:11:20 @ Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.

bes@Wis:12:10 @ But executing thy judgements upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.

bes@Wis:12:12 @ For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgement? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?

bes@Wis:12:13 @ For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgement is not unright.

bes@Wis:12:18 @ But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.

bes@Wis:12:21 @ With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?

bes@Wis:12:22 @ Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.

bes@Wis:12:25 @ Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgement to mock them.

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

bes@Wis:12:27 @ For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; now being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.

bes@Wis:13:1 @ Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;

bes@Wis:13:7 @ For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.

bes@Wis: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;

bes@Wis: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:

bes@Wis:13:19 @ And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.

bes@Wis:14:4 @ Shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.

bes@Wis:14:6 @ For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.

bes@Wis:14:10 @ For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.

bes@Wis:14:11 @ Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:14:16 @ Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:14:18 @ Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.

bes@Wis:14:22 @ Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.

bes@Wis:14:23 @ For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;

bes@Wis:14:24 @ They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traitorously, or grieved him by adultery.

bes@Wis:14:26 @ Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.

bes@Wis:14:31 @ For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.

bes@Wis:15:4 @ For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter’s fruitless labour;

bes@Wis:15:5 @ The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.

bes@Wis: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.

bes@Wis:15:12 @ But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.

bes@Wis:15:13 @ For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.

bes@Wis:15:15 @ For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.

bes@Wis:15:18 @ Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.

bes@Wis:16:2 @ Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:

bes@Wis:16:3 @ To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.

bes@Wis:16:11 @ For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.

bes@Wis:16:13 @ For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.

bes@Wis:16:16 @ For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.

bes@Wis:16:18 @ For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgement of God.

bes@Wis:16:20 @ Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels’ food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man’s delight, and agreeing to every taste.

bes@Wis:16:23 @ But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.

bes@Wis:17:1 @ For great are thy judgements, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.

bes@Wis:17:3 @ For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with strange apparitions.

bes@Wis:17:13 @ And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.

bes@Wis:17:19 @ Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.

bes@Wis:17:21 @ Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.

bes@Wis:18:2 @ But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and besought them pardon for that they had been enemies.

bes@Wis:18:5 @ And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.

bes@Wis:18:12 @ So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.

bes@Wis:18:13 @ For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.

bes@Wis:19:4 @ For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:

bes@Wis:19:5 @ And that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.

bes@Wis:19:8 @ Where through all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.

bes@Wis:19:9 @ For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.

bes@Wis:19:10 @ For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.

bes@Wis:19:11 @ But afterwards they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.

bes@Wis:19:13 @ And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

bes@Wis:19:14 @ For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.

bes@Wis:19:15 @ And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:

bes@Wis:19:17 @ Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.

bes@Wis:19:18 @ For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.

bes@Wis:19:20 @ The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.

bes@Tob:1:4 @ And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.

bes@Tob:1:5 @ Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal.

bes@Tob:1:9 @ Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.

bes@Tob:1:10 @ And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.

bes@Tob:1:14 @ And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.

bes@Tob:2:12 @ And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.

bes@Tob:2:14 @ But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.

bes@Tob:3:2 @ O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.

bes@Tob:3:5 @ And now thy judgements are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers’: because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.

bes@Tob:3:10 @ When she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.

bes@Tob:3:17 @ And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit’s eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.

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

bes@Tob:4:4 @ Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.

bes@Tob:4:12 @ Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father’s tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:4:20 @ And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.

bes@Tob: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.

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

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

bes@Tob:5:6 @ To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.

bes@Tob:5:13 @ Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.

bes@Tob:5:14 @ But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?

bes@Tob:5:15 @ Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob:6:1 @ And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.

bes@Tob:6:3 @ Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.

bes@Tob:6:4 @ To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.

bes@Tob:6:5 @ So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.

bes@Tob:6:6 @ Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?

bes@Tob:6:9 @ And when they were come near to Rages,

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:6:13 @ Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.

bes@Tob:6:15 @ Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.

bes@Tob:6:16 @ And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:

bes@Tob:7:11 @ I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

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

bes@Tob:8:4 @ And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.

bes@Tob:8:7 @ And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

bes@Tob:8:15 @ Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

bes@Tob: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;

bes@Tob:9:2 @ Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.

bes@Tob:9:5 @ So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.

bes@Tob:9:6 @ And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.

bes@Tob: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:

bes@Tob:11:15 @ For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.

bes@Tob:12:1 @ Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:12:9 @ For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:

bes@Tob:12:15 @ I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.

bes@Tob:12:22 @ Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.

bes@Tob: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.

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

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:13:14 @ O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Tob:14:5 @ And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

bes@Tob: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.

bes@Sir:2:10 @ Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?

bes@Sir:3:12 @ My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.

bes@Sir:3:16 @ He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.

bes@Sir:6:36 @ And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.

bes@Sir:7:6 @ Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness.

bes@Sir:7:17 @ Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.

bes@Sir:10:2 @ As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein.

bes@Sir:10:13 @ For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.

bes@Sir:10:18 @ Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them that are born of a woman.

bes@Sir:13:2 @ Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.

bes@Sir:16:25 @ I will shew forth doctrine in weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.

bes@Sir:16:26 @ The works of the Lord are done in judgement from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed the parts thereof.

bes@Sir:16:27 @ He garnished his works for ever, and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.

bes@Sir:17:3 @ He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image,

bes@Sir:17:7 @ Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil.

bes@Sir:17:11 @ Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

bes@Sir:17:12 @ He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed them his judgements.

bes@Sir:18:1 @ He that liveth for ever Hath created all things in general.

bes@Sir:18:13 @ The mercy of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.

bes@Sir:18:14 @ He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgements.

bes@Sir:18:16 @ Shall not the dew asswage the heat? so is a word better than a gift.

bes@Sir:19:3 @ Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away.

bes@Sir:19:19 @ The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality.

bes@Sir:19:20 @ The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.

bes@Sir:19:21 @ If a servant say to his master, I will not do as it pleaseth thee; though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nourisheth him.

bes@Sir:19:22 @ The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.

bes@Sir:19:25 @ There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgement appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgement.

bes@Sir:19:26 @ There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,

bes@Sir:20:4 @ As is the lust of an eunuch to deflower a virgin; so is he that executeth judgement with violence.

bes@Sir:20:25 @ A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.

bes@Sir:20:28 @ He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.

bes@Sir:21:3 @ All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.

bes@Sir:21:5 @ A prayer out of a poor man’s mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgement cometh speedily.

bes@Sir:21:9 @ The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.

bes@Sir:21:11 @ He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.

bes@Sir:21:13 @ The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.

bes@Sir:21:14 @ The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.

bes@Sir:21:18 @ As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.

bes@Sir:22:7 @ Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.

bes@Sir:22:16 @ As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.

bes@Sir:22:23 @ Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.

bes@Sir:23:2 @ Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:

bes@Sir:23:11 @ A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities.

bes@Sir:23:12 @ There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

bes@Sir:23:14 @ Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse they day of thy nativity.

bes@Sir:24:18 @ I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.

bes@Sir:24:23 @ All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

bes@Sir:24:27 @ He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.

bes@Sir:24:33 @ I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.

bes@Sir:25:1 @ In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

bes@Sir:25:3 @ If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou find any thing in thine age?

bes@Sir:25:4 @ O how comely a thing is judgement for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!

bes@Sir:25:7 @ There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:

bes@Sir:25:14 @ And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.

bes@Sir:25:17 @ The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.

bes@Sir:25:20 @ As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.

bes@Sir:25:22 @ A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.

bes@Sir:25:23 @ A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.

bes@Sir:25:25 @ Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.

bes@Sir:26:5 @ There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.

bes@Sir:26:6 @ But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.

bes@Sir:26:8 @ A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.

bes@Sir:26:12 @ She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.

bes@Sir:26:17 @ As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.

bes@Sir:26:19 @ My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.

bes@Sir:27:26 @ Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.

bes@Sir:27:28 @ Mockery and reproach are from the proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.

bes@Sir:28:1 @ He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance.

bes@Sir:28:10 @ As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.

bes@Sir:28:18 @ Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.

bes@Sir:28:24 @ Look that thou hedge thy possession about with thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold,

bes@Sir:29:15 @ Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.

bes@Sir:29:17 @ And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him in danger that delivered him.

bes@Sir:29:18 @ Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.

bes@Sir:29:22 @ Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man’s house.

bes@Sir:29:24 @ For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.

bes@Sir:29:26 @ Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.

bes@Sir:29:27 @ Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house.

bes@Sir:30:24 @ Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth age before the time. At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance. Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant.

bes@Sir:31:12 @ I was ofttimes in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things.

bes@Sir:31:20 @ Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father’s eyes.

bes@Sir:32:12 @ Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.

bes@Sir:32:17 @ The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgement.

bes@Sir:32:18 @ For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;

bes@Sir:32:19 @ Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.

bes@Sir:33:3 @ Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.

bes@Sir:34:26 @ The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkenness.

bes@Sir:34:28 @ Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:

bes@1Macc:4:37 @ Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.

bes@1Macc:4:57 @ They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.

bes@1Macc:4:60 @ At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.

bes@1Macc:5:2 @ Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:5:9 @ Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.

bes@1Macc:5:10 @ And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy us:

bes@1Macc:5:14 @ While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

bes@1Macc:5:15 @ And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.

bes@1Macc:5:16 @ Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc:5:36 @ From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.

bes@1Macc:5:44 @ But they took the city, and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Judas.

bes@1Macc:5:45 @ Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:5:51 @ Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain.

bes@1Macc:5:53 @ And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:5:57 @ Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.

bes@1Macc:5:58 @ So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:6:13 @ I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

bes@1Macc:6:19 @ Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:6:21 @ Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:

bes@1Macc:6:22 @ And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgement, and avenge our brethren?

bes@1Macc:6:24 @ For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:6:53 @ Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:7:10 @ So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:7:38 @ Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

bes@1Macc:7:41 @ O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and five thousand of them.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:9:11 @ With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.

bes@1Macc:9:26 @ And they made enquiry and search for Judas’ friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.

bes@1Macc:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas’ friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

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

bes@1Macc:9:35 @ Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

bes@1Macc:9:37 @ After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.

bes@1Macc:9:39 @ Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.

bes@1Macc:9:41 @ Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.

bes@1Macc:9:42 @ So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.

bes@1Macc: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.

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

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

bes@1Macc: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.

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

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:10:8 @ Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an host.

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

bes@1Macc:10:12 @ Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built, fled away;

bes@1Macc:10:14 @ Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge.

bes@1Macc:10:21 @ So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour.

bes@1Macc:10:24 @ I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.

bes@1Macc:10:36 @ I will further, that there be enrolled among the king’s forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belongeth to all king’s forces.

bes@1Macc:10:51 @ Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect:

bes@1Macc:10:52 @ Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country;

bes@1Macc:10:54 @ Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her as according to thy dignity.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:10:69 @ Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

bes@1Macc:10:71 @ Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter together: for with me is the power of the cities.

bes@1Macc:10:76 @ Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.

bes@1Macc:11:1 @ And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander’s kingdom, and join it to his own.

bes@1Macc:11:6 @ Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppa, where they saluted one another, and lodged.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:21 @ Then came ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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;

bes@1Macc:11:35 @ And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:45 @ Howbeit they that were of the city gathered themselves together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king.

bes@1Macc:11:46 @ Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.

bes@1Macc:11:49 @ So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:67 @ As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.

bes@1Macc:11:68 @ And, behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, who, having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came themselves over against him.

bes@1Macc:12:10 @ Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers unto you altogether: for there is a long time passed since ye sent unto us.

bes@1Macc:12:22 @ Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc:12:37 @ Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:12:45 @ Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

bes@1Macc:12:50 @ But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.

bes@1Macc:13:1 @ Now when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered together a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destroy it,

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

bes@1Macc:13:6 @ Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:14:1 @ Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphon.

bes@1Macc:14:6 @ And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country,

bes@1Macc: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 uncleanness, neither was there any that resisted him.

bes@1Macc:14:9 @ The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.

bes@1Macc:14:23 @ And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.

bes@1Macc:14:29 @ Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:

bes@1Macc:14:30 @ (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

bes@1Macc:14:32 @ At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc: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;

bes@1Macc:15:3 @ Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war;

bes@1Macc:15:4 @ My meaning also being to go through the country, that I may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many cities in the kingdom desolate:

bes@1Macc:15:10 @ In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:16:3 @ But now I am old, and ye, by God’s mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:16:16 @ So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.

bes@2Macc:1:3 @ And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;

bes@2Macc:1:27 @ Gather those together that are scattered from us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art our God.

bes@2Macc:2:2 @ And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:2:14 @ In like manner also Judas gathered together all those things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they remain with us,

bes@2Macc:2:17 @ We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his people, and gave them all an heritage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:2:23 @ All these things, I say, being declared by Jason of Cyrene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume.

bes@2Macc:2:28 @ Leaving to the author the exact handling of every particular, and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgement.

bes@2Macc:2:30 @ To stand upon every point, and go over things at large, and to be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first author of the story:

bes@2Macc:3:9 @ And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.

bes@2Macc:3:11 @ And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:

bes@2Macc:3:12 @ And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.

bes@2Macc:3:18 @ Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

bes@2Macc:3:26 @ Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.

bes@2Macc:3:28 @ Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.

bes@2Macc:3:34 @ And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.

bes@2Macc:3:38 @ If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.

bes@2Macc:4:4 @ Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon’s malice,

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc:4:14 @ That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth;

bes@2Macc:4:16 @ By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them: for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things.

bes@2Macc:4:19 @ This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:4:39 @ Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the fruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.

bes@2Macc:4:40 @ Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one Auranus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.

bes@2Macc:4:41 @ They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon them.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:5:1 @ About the same time Antiochus prepared his second voyage into Egypt:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc:5:18 @ For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc:6:2 @ And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place.

bes@2Macc:6:4 @ For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.

bes@2Macc:6:8 @ Moreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices:

bes@2Macc:6:9 @ And whoso would not conform themselves to the manners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a man have seen the present misery.

bes@2Macc:6:11 @ And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered by Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.

bes@2Macc:6:12 @ Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.

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

bes@2Macc:6:18 @ Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of a well favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eat swine’s flesh.

bes@2Macc: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;

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:6:24 @ For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dissemble, whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a strange religion;

bes@2Macc:6:25 @ And so they through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live a little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable.

bes@2Macc:6:27 @ Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth,

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:6:31 @ And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.

bes@2Macc:7:1 @ It came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to taste swine’s flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips.

bes@2Macc:7:3 @ Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and caldrons to be made hot:

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:7:11 @ And said courageously, These I had from heaven; and for his laws I despise them; and from him I hope to receive them again.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:7:20 @ But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory: for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, because of the hope that she had in the Lord.

bes@2Macc:7:21 @ Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own language, filled with courageous spirits; and stirring up her womanish thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them,

bes@2Macc:7:23 @ But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your own selves for his laws’ sake.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:7:27 @ But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.

bes@2Macc:7:35 @ For thou hast not yet escaped the judgement of Almighty God, who seeth all things.

bes@2Macc:7:36 @ For our brethren, who now have suffered a short pain, are dead under God’s covenant of everlasting life: but thou, through the judgement of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.

bes@2Macc:7:39 @ Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.

bes@2Macc:8:1 @ Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews’ religion, and assembled about six thousand men.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:8:14 @ Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together:

bes@2Macc:8:16 @ So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,

bes@2Macc:8:26 @ For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.

bes@2Macc:8:27 @ So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.

bes@2Macc:8:30 @ Moreover of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves.

bes@2Macc:8:31 @ And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.

bes@2Macc: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 judgement 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 Jews.

bes@2Macc:9:6 @ And that most justly: for he had tormented other men’s bowels with many and strange torments.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@2Macc:9:18 @ But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgement 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:

bes@2Macc:9:26 @ Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that every man will be still faithful to me and my son.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:10:5 @ Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:10:18 @ And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege,

bes@2Macc:10:19 @ Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto those places which more needed his help.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:10:28 @ Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; the one part having together with their virtue their refuge also unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory: the other side making their rage leader of their battle

bes@2Macc:10:33 @ But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the fortress courageously four days.

bes@2Macc:10:35 @ Nevertheless upon the fifth day early twenty young men of Maccabeus’ company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal.

bes@2Macc:11:1 @ Not long after the, Lysias the king’s protector and cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore displeasure for the things that were done.

bes@2Macc: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,

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

bes@2Macc:11:9 @ Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron.

bes@2Macc:11:11 @ And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight.

bes@2Macc:11:24 @ We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:12:2 @ But of the governors of several places, Timotheus, and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and beside them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to be quiet and live in peace.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc: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.

bes@2Macc:12:20 @ And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.

bes@2Macc:15:17 @ Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to encourage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them, and manfully to try the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and the temple were in danger.

bes@2Macc: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:

bes@3Macc:5:40 @ O king, how long dost thou make trial of us, as of men bereft of reason? This is the third time that thou hast ordered their destruction. When the thing is to be done, thou changest thy mind, and recallest thy instructions.

bes@3Macc:5:42 @ The king, just like another Phalaris, a prey to thoughtlessness, made no account of the changes which his own mind had undergone, issuing in the deliverance of the Jews.

bes@4Macc:15:12 @ But she inclined each one separately and all together to death for religion.

bes@4Macc:15:23 @ But religious reasoning, having strengthened her courage in the midst of sufferings, enabled her to forego, for the time, parental love.

bes@4Macc:15:25 @ For just as in a council-room, beholding in her own soul vehement counsellors, nature and parentage and love of her children, and the racking of her children,

bes@4Macc:15:29 @ O holy mother of a nation avenger of the law, and defender of religion, and prime bearer in the battle of the affections!

bes@4Macc:16:1 @ If, then, even a woman, and that an aged one, and the mother of seven children, endured to see her children's torments even unto death, confessedly religious reasoning is master even of the passions.

bes@4Macc:16:14 @ O woman, soldier of God for religion, thou, aged and a female, hast conquered through endurance even a tyrant; and though but weak, hast been found more powerful in deeds and words.

bes@4Macc:16:17 @ For it were disgraceful that this old man should endure pains for the sake of righteousness, and that you who are younger should be afraid of the tortures.

bes@4Macc:16:20 @ For whom also our father Abraham was forward to sacrifice Isaac our progenitor, and shuddered not at the sight of his own paternal hand descending down with the sword upon him.

bes@4Macc:17:2 @ O thou mother, who together with seven children didst destroy the violence of the tyrant, and render void his wicked intentions, and exhibit the nobleness of faith!

bes@4Macc:17:9 @ Here an aged priest, and an aged woman, and seven sons, are buried through the violence of a tyrant, who wished to destroy the polity of the Hebrews.

bes@4Macc:17:10 @ These also avenged their nation, looking unto God, and enduring torments unto death.

bes@4Macc:17:24 @ And they proved to be to him noble and brave for land battles and for sieges; and he conquered and stormed the towns of all his enemies.

bes@4Macc:18:18 @ For he did not forget the song which Moses taught, proclaiming, I will kill, and I will make to live.

bes@4Macc:18:20 @ O that bitter, and yet not bitter, day when the bitter tyrant of the Greeks, quenching fire with fire in his cruel caldrons, brought with boiling rage the seven sons of the daughter of Abraham to the catapelt, and to all his torments!

bes@4Macc:18:23 @ But the children of Abraham, with their victorious mother, are assembled together to the choir of their fathers; having received pure and immortal souls from God.

bes@1Esd:1:15 @ The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was of the king’s retinue.

bes@1Esd:1:17 @ Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold the passover,

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

bes@1Esd:1:51 @ But they had his messengers in derision; and, look, when the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets:

bes@1Esd:2:15 @ These were brought back by Sanabassar, together with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:2:17 @ To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@1Esd:2:24 @ Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage into Celosyria and Phenice.

bes@1Esd:2:26 @ I have read the epistle which ye have sent unto me: therefore I commanded to make diligent search, and it hath been found that that city was from the beginning practising against kings;

bes@1Esd:3:9 @ And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.

bes@1Esd:3:10 @ The first wrote, Wine is the strongest.

bes@1Esd:3:11 @ The second wrote, The king is strongest.

bes@1Esd:3:12 @ The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory.

bes@1Esd:3:15 @ And sat him down in the royal seat of judgement; and the writings were read before them.

bes@1Esd:3:22 @ And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords:

bes@1Esd: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.

bes@1Esd:4:5 @ They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king’s commandment: if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil, as all things else.

bes@1Esd:4:18 @ Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favour and beauty?

bes@1Esd: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.

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

bes@1Esd:4:40 @ Neither in her judgement is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty, of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth.

bes@1Esd:4:50 @ And that all the country which they hold should be free without tribute; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held:

bes@1Esd:4:54 @ He wrote also concerning. the charges, and the priests’ vestments wherein they minister;

bes@1Esd:4:55 @ And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up.

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

bes@1Esd: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.

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

bes@1Esd:5:7 @ And these are they of Jewry that came up from the captivity, where they dwelt as strangers, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon.

bes@1Esd:5:27 @ The holy singers: the sons of Asaph, an hundred twenty and eight.

bes@1Esd:5:30 @ The sons of Acua, the sons of Uta, the sons of Cetab, the sons of Agaba, the sons of Subai, the sons of Anan, the sons of Cathua, the sons of Geddur,

bes@1Esd:5:46 @ And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; and all Israel in their villages.

bes@1Esd:5:47 @ But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came all together with one consent into the open place of the first gate which is toward the east.

bes@1Esd:5:68 @ So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.

bes@1Esd:5:70 @ Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God.

bes@1Esd:6:1 @ Now in the second year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto the Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, which was upon them.

bes@1Esd:6:10 @ And those works are done with great speed, and the work goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and diligence is it made.

bes@1Esd:6:12 @ Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge unto thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the chief doers, and we required of them the names in writing of their principal men.

bes@1Esd:6:28 @ I have commanded also to have it built up whole again; and that they look diligently to help those that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:

bes@1Esd: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.

bes@1Esd:6:33 @ The Lord therefore, whose name is there called upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth out his hand to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:6:34 @ I Darius the king have ordained that according unto these things it be done with diligence.

bes@1Esd:7:3 @ And so the holy works prospered, when Aggeus and Zacharias the prophets prophesied.

bes@1Esd:7:11 @ They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified together: but the Levites were all sanctified together.

bes@1Esd:8:5 @ There went up with him also certain of the children of Israel, of the priest of the Levites, of the holy singers, porters, and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem,

bes@1Esd: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 judgements.

bes@1Esd:8:21 @ Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently unto the most high God, that wrath come not upon the kingdom of the king and his sons.

bes@1Esd:8:22 @ I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other imposition, of any of the priests, or Levites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any thing upon them.

bes@1Esd:8:23 @ And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice all those that know the law of thy God; and those that know it not thou shalt teach.

bes@1Esd:8:24 @ And whosoever shall transgress the law of thy God, and of the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death, or other punishment, by penalty of money, or by imprisonment.

bes@1Esd:8:27 @ Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me.

bes@1Esd:8:29 @ Of the sons of Phinees, Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar, Gamael: of the sons of David, Lettus the son of Sechenias:

bes@1Esd:8:41 @ And these I gathered together to the river called Theras, where we pitched our tents three days: and then I surveyed them.

bes@1Esd:8:69 @ The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites.

bes@1Esd:8:70 @ For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity.

bes@1Esd: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;

bes@1Esd:8:83 @ That the land, which ye enter into to possess as an heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness.

bes@1Esd:8:90 @ Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.

bes@1Esd:8:92 @ Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft.

bes@1Esd:9:3 @ And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem:

bes@1Esd:9:5 @ And in three days were all they of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month.

bes@1Esd:9:7 @ So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.

bes@1Esd:9:9 @ And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women.

bes@1Esd:9:12 @ Therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed,

bes@1Esd:9:13 @ And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.

bes@1Esd:9:16 @ And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.

bes@1Esd:9:17 @ So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.

bes@1Esd:9:18 @ And of the priests that were come together, and had strange wives, there were found:

bes@1Esd:9:24 @ Of the holy singers; Eleazurus, Bacchurus.

bes@1Esd:9:36 @ All these had taken strange wives, and they put them away with their children.

bes@1Esd:9:38 @ And the whole multitude came together with one accord into the broad place of the holy porch toward the east:

bes@Sus:1:5 @ The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.

bes@Sus:1:9 @ And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgements.

bes@Sus:1:12 @ Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her.

bes@Sus:1:14 @ So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.

bes@Sus: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.

bes@Sus:1:41 @ Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.

bes@Sus: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?

bes@Sus:1:49 @ Return again to the place of judgement: for they have borne false witness against her.

bes@Sus:1:53 @ For thou hast pronounced false judgement and hast condemned the innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay.

bes@Sus:1:54 @ Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.

bes@Sus:1:55 @ And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.

bes@Sus:1:58 @ Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them companying together? Who answered, Under an holm tree.

bes@Sus: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.

bes@Ps151:1:1 @ This Psalm is a genuine one of David, though supernumerary, composed when he fought in single combat with (note:)Alex. Goliath(:note) Goliad. - I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father’s house: I tended my father’s sheep.

bes@Ps151:1:2 @ My hands formed a musical instrument, and my fingers tuned a psaltery.

bes@Ps151:1:4 @ He sent forth his angel, and took me from my father’s sheep, and he anointed me with the oil of his anointing.

bes@BelTh:1:1 @ And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom.

bes@BelTh:1:27 @ Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon’s mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder: and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.

bes@BelTh:1:33 @ Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.

bes@BelTh:1:34 @ But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions’ den.

bes@BelTh:1:36 @ Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.

bes@BelTh:1:39 @ So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
