apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:17 @ Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:25 @ Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:26 @ Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:42 @ Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:55 @ And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:10 @ Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:16 @ This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:18 @ And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:24 @ After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:31 @ Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:36 @ Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:59 @ Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:17 @ Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:24 @ Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness,

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:46 @ Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:50 @ So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:52 @ After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:55 @ Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:59 @ Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:61 @ Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:63 @ Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:65 @ Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:18 @ About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:26 @ And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:30 @ So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:32 @ Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:33 @ Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:35 @ Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:38 @ As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:42 @ Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:47 @ Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:48 @ Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:54 @ There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:4 @ So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:6 @ And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:23 @ Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done among the Israelites, even above the heathen,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:26 @ Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:27 @ So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; and sent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully with friendly words, saying,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:33 @ After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:37 @ Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:39 @ So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:48 @ For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:49 @ Moreover they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the thirteenth of Adar.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:5 @ Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:14 @ Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:20 @ Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:22 @ And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:5 @ Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:10 @ Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:19 @ THen Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:30 @ Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:31 @ Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:33 @ Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:35 @ 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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:44 @ Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:45 @ For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:58 @ Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care: now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:60 @ Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:68 @ And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:10 @ This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:13 @ Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his own country.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:18 @ King Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting:

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:30 @ And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:42 @ And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:57 @ So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:62 @ Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his garments, and clothe him in purple: and they did so.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:65 @ So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:67 @ Furthermore in the; hundred threescore and fifth year came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:80 @ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:82 @ Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:86 @ And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:87 @ After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having any spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:19 @ By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:26 @ Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:29 @ So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:30 @ King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:32 @ King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:36 @ And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:42 @ So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:51 @ With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:52 @ So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:54 @ After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:55 @ Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:71 @ Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:73 @ Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:4 @ Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:5 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:19 @ And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:23 @ We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our's, and our's are your's We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:28 @ But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:29 @ Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:37 @ 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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:43 @ But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:45 @ 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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:13 @ But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over against the plain.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:24 @ Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:25 @ Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:27 @ Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:35 @ Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:39 @ As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us: and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:1 @ 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 Tryphone.

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:12 @ For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:17 @ But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:18 @ They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:20 @ And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:22 @ And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:24 @ After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:25 @ Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:27 @ So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:36 @ For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:39 @ And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:44 @ Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:48 @ So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:49 @ Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:2 @ The contents whereof were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews, greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:8 @ And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:15:15 @ In the mean season came Numenius and his company from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries; wherein were written these things:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:1 @ Then came up John from Gazera, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:2 @ Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:8 @ Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:16 @ 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.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:16:21 @ Now one had run afore to Gazera and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:1:10 @ Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes; Pharaoh with his servants and all his power have I smitten down.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:1:16 @ And triumphed not in my name for the destruction of your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:1:18 @ Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this wilderness to kill us? it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians, than to die in this wilderness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:1:28 @ Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Have I not prayed you as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her young babes,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:1 @ Thus saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them my commandments by menservants the prophets; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:2:36 @ Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:11 @ Nevertheless one of them thou leftest, namely, Noah with his household, of whom came all righteous men.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:15 @ And madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:17 @ And it came to pass, that when thou leadest his seed out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:25 @ When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:26 @ And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also had a wicked heart:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:29 @ For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:3:31 @ I do not remember how this way may be left: Are they then of Babylon better than they of Sion?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:2 @ And said, Thy heart hath gone to far in this world, and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the most High?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:19 @ I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought that they both have devised, for the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his floods.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:27 @ And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:30 @ For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time? and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:35 @ Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of these things in their chambers, saying, How long shall I hope on this fashion? when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:4:49 @ After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained still.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:5 @ And blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:9 @ And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall destroy one another; then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:27 @ And among all the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:28 @ And now, O Lord, why hast thou given this one people over unto many? and upon the one root hast thou prepared others, and why hast thou scattered thy only one people among many?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:5:34 @ And I said, No, Lord: but of very grief have I spoken: for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of the most High, and to seek out part of his judgment.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:6:44 @ For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:20 @ For there be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law of God that is set before them.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:23 @ And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the most High, that he is not; and knew not his ways:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:7:57 @ Then answered he me, and said, This is the condition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:2 @ I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present world.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:36 @ For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:41 @ For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:48 @ In this also thou art marvellous before the most High:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:56 @ For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:57 @ Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:8:59 @ For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:7 @ And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:19 @ For then every one obeyed: but now the manners of them which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:9:37 @ Notwithstanding the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:1 @ And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:3 @ And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:37 @ Now therefore I beseech thee that thou wilt shew thy servant of this vision.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:40 @ This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou lately sawest:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:43 @ And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:44 @ This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:48 @ But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:52 @ For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:10:54 @ For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:8 @ Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:16 @ Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:22 @ After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:32 @ But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:33 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:11:44 @ The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and, behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:4 @ Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out the ways of the Highest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:5 @ Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:8 @ Comfort me then, and shew me thy servant the interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:10 @ And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the vision:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:16 @ And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:17 @ As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:18 @ That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:19 @ And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:22 @ And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:23 @ In his last days shall the most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall have the dominion of the earth,

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:25 @ For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:26 @ And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:30 @ It signifieth that these are they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:32 @ This is the anointed, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and shall upbraid them with their cruelty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:35 @ This is the dream that thou sawest, and these are the interpretations.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:36 @ Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:39 @ But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:41 @ What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:12:48 @ As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:4 @ And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the fire.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:5 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:8 @ And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:11 @ And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:15 @ Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:22 @ Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation:

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:24 @ Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:25 @ This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:27 @ And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:33 @ And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:37 @ And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:41 @ But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:51 @ Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, shew me this: Wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the midst of the sea?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:13:53 @ This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, and whereby thou only art here lightened.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:10 @ For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:14:26 @ And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, and some things shalt thou shew secretly to the wise: to morrow this hour shalt thou begin to write.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:19 @ A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:21 @ Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God;

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:15:23 @ The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:11 @ The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly beaten to powder at his presence?

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:12 @ The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it are troubled, and the fishes thereof also, before the Lord, and before the glory of his power:

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:27 @ So that one man shall desire to see another, and to hear his voice.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Esdras:16:66 @ What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and his angels?

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:4 @ And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and send you peace,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:7 @ What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom,

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:22 @ When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:24 @ And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:32 @ When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:33 @ So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:1:36 @ And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:17 @ 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,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:19 @ Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:20 @ And the wars against Antiochus Epiphanes, and Eupator his son,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:26 @ Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:2:27 @ Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:1 @ Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:3 @ Insomuch that Seleucus of Asia of his own revenues bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:7 @ Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the foresaid money.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:8 @ So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey; under a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king's purpose.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:16 @ Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would have wounded his heart: for his countenance and the changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:25 @ For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:30 @ But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own place: for the temple; which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:31 @ Then straightways certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:33 @ Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:35 @ So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:36 @ Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:39 @ For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that place, and defendeth it; and he beateth and destroyeth them that come to hurt it.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:3:40 @ And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:1 @ This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he ha terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:4 @ 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,

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:19 @ 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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:20 @ This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules' sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:26 @ Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:29 @ Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:4:31 @ Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:12 @ And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:18 @ 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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:23 @ And at Garizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest bare an heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:5:27 @ But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:1 @ Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:3 @ The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:13 @ For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:6:17 @ But let this that we at spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:7:25 @ But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:8:15 @ And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were called.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:22 @ Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to escape this sickness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:9:29 @ And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:1 @ Now Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding them, recovered the temple and the city:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:7 @ Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:9 @ And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:10 @ Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:19 @ 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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:37 @ And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and Chereas his brother, with Apollophanes.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:10:38 @ When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:4 @ Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:8 @ And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of gold.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:16 @ For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:22 @ Now the king's letter contained these words: King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:23 @ Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one may attend upon his own affairs.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:27 @ And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:11:38 @ Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:15 @ Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees: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.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:28 @ But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them that were within,

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:38 @ So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:39 @ And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:12:40 @ Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:2 @ And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:4 @ But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:9 @ Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's time.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:12 @ So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:17 @ This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:13:22 @ The king treated with them in Bethsum the second time, gave his hand, took their's, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome;

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:2 @ Had taken the country, and killed Antiochus, and Lysias his protector.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:11 @ This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:15 @ Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:17 @ Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle with Nicanor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence of his enemies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:36 @ Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:37 @ Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:14:42 @ Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:1 @ But Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:6 @ So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:12 @ And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:13 @ This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:14 @ Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:15 @ Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right hand gave to Judas a sword of gold, and in giving it spake thus,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:16 @ Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with the which thou shalt wound the adversaries.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:26 @ But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:28 @ Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:30 @ And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:31 @ So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:33 @ And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.

apocrypha_kjv@2Maccabees:15:34 @ So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.

apocrypha_kjv@BenSira:1 @ [A Prologue made by an uncertain Author] This Jesus was the son of Sira, and grandchild to Jesus of the same name with him: this man therefore lived in the latter times, after the people had been led away captive, and called home a again, and almost after all the prophets. Now his grandfather Jesus, as he himself witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wisdom among the Hebrews, who did not only gather the grave and short sentences of wise men, that had been before him, but himself also uttered some of his own, full of much understanding and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus died, leaving this book almost perfected, BenSira his son receiving it after him left it to his own son Jesus, who, having gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one volume, and called it Wisdom, intituling it both by his own name, his father's name, and his grandfather's; alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom to have a greater love to the study of this book. It containeth therefore wise sayings, dark sentences, and parables, and certain particular ancient godly stories of men that pleased God; also his prayer and song; moreover, what benefits God had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did imitate Solomon, and was no less famous for wisdom and learning, both being indeed a man of great learning, and so reputed also. [The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of BenSira.] Whereas many and great things have been delivered unto us by the law and the prophets, and by others that have followed their steps, for the which things Israel ought to be commended for learning and wisdom; and whereof not only the readers must needs become skilful themselves, but also they that desire to learn be able to profit them which are without, both by speaking and writing: my grandfather Jesus, when he had much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on also himself to write something pertaining to learning and wisdom; to the intent that those which are desirous to learn, and are addicted to these things, might profit much more in living according to the law. Wherefore let me intreat you to read it with favour and attention, and to pardon us, wherein we may seem to come short of some words, which we have laboured to interpret. For the same things uttered in Hebrew, and translated into another tongue, have not the same force in them: and not only these things, but the law itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the books, have no small difference, when they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Euergetes was king, and continuing there some time, I found a book of no small learning: therefore I thought it most necessary for me to bestow some diligence and travail to interpret it; using great watchfulness and skill in that space to bring the book to an end, and set it forth for them also, which in a strange country are willing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live after the law.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:15 @ Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:20 @ And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:10:21 @ Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and precious stones.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:9 @ Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:10 @ Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:11:20 @ Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants; and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said,

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:1 @ Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:7 @ Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:10 @ And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:16 @ Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:12:18 @ So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:1 @ Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:2 @ And Judith was left along in the tent, and Holofernes lying along upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:4 @ So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:6 @ Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion from thence,

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:14 @ Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:15 @ So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:16 @ As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:17 @ Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:13:19 @ For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:2 @ And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:5 @ But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:6 @ Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:10 @ And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:15 @ But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:14:16 @ Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:15:11 @ And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:1 @ Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:2 @ And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:4 @ Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:9 @ Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:19 @ Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.

apocrypha_kjv@Judith:16:21 @ After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:2:13 @ And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:3:6 @ Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.

apocrypha_kjv@Tobit:14:7 @ So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:3 @ For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:6 @ For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:1:9 @ For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:9 @ Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:17 @ Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:19 @ Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:2:24 @ Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:3:14 @ And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:4:17 @ For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:1 @ Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:3 @ And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:5:4 @ We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:7:30 @ For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:8:5 @ If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:1 @ She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:5 @ Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:7 @ Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:10:8 @ For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:12:14 @ Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:6 @ But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:12 @ And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:13:19 @ 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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:2 @ For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:9 @ For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:19 @ For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:14:21 @ And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:10 @ His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:

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

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

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:15:19 @ Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:8 @ And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:14 @ A man indeed killeth through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the soul received up cometh again.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:16:24 @ For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:9 @ For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:17:18 @ Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water running violently,

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:18 @ And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:19 @ For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.

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

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:18:24 @ For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the daidem of his head.

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom:19:6 @ For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

apocrypha_kjv@Wisdom: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.

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