apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:24 @ As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:1:25 @ Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchamis upon Euphrates: and Josias went out against him.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:2 @ The Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:3 @ Saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians; The Lord of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of the whole world,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:5 @ If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem.

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:19 @ Now if this city and the walls thereof be made up again, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also rebel against kings.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:22 @ And thou shalt find in the chronicles what is written concerning these things, and shalt understand that that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:23 @ And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein; for the which cause even this city was made desolate.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:24 @ Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage into Celosyria and Phenice.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:25 @ Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the storywriter, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the scribe, and to the rest that were in commission, and dwellers in Samaria and Syria and Phenice, after this manner;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:26 @ I have read the epistle which ye have sent unto me: therefore I commanded to make diligent search, and it hath been found that that city was from the beginning practising against kings;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:2:30 @ Then king Artexerxes his letters being read, Rathumus, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission with them, removing in haste toward Jerusalem with a troop of horsemen and a multitude of people in battle array, began to hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:1 @ Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:3 @ And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bedchamber, and slept, and soon after awaked.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:5 @ Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:6 @ As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:7 @ And he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:8 @ And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under king Darius his pillow;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:9 @ And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:10 @ The first wrote, Wine is the strongest.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:11 @ The second wrote, The king is strongest.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:13 @ Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:18 @ And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:3:24 @ O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:3 @ But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:6 @ Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with wars, but use husbundry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:7 @ And yet he is but one man: if he command to kill, they kill; if he command to spare, they spare;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:10 @ So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:11 @ And these keep watch round about him, neither may any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:12 @ O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed? And he held his tongue.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:13 @ Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:14 @ O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine, that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:16 @ Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards, from whence the wine cometh.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:18 @ Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favour and beauty?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:20 @ A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:21 @ He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife. and remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:22 @ By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:23 @ Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:24 @ And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:25 @ Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:27 @ Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:28 @ And now do ye not believe me? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:31 @ And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:34 @ O ye men, are not women strong? great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:35 @ Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:36 @ All the earth crieth upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth it: all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:37 @ Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked works; and there is no truth in them; in their unrighteousness also they shall perish.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:38 @ As for the truth, it endureth, and is alwaYs strong; it liveth and conquereth for evermore.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:39 @ With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards; but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust and wicked things; and all men do well like of her works.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:40 @ Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty, of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:41 @ And with that he held his peace. And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is Truth, and mighty above all things.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:42 @ Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writing, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:46 @ And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:47 @ Then Darius the king stood up, and kissed him, and wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers and lieutenants and captains and governors, that they should safely convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:49 @ Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:54 @ He wrote also concerning. the charges, and the priests' vestments wherein they minister;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:55 @ And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:58 @ Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:59 @ And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:60 @ Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom: for to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:61 @ And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:62 @ And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had given them freedom and liberty
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:4:63 @ To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple which is called by his name: and they feasted with instruments of musick and gladness seven days.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:1 @ After this were the principal men of the families chosen according to their tribes, to go up with their wives and sons and daughters, with their menservants and maidservants, and their cattle.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:6 @ Who spake wise sentences before Darius the king of Persia in the second year of his reign, in the month Nisan, which is the first month.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:8 @ And they returned unto Jerusalem, and to the other parts of Jewry, every man to his own city, who came with Zorobabel, with Jesus, Nehemias, and Zacharias, and Reesaias, Enenius, Mardocheus. Beelsarus, Aspharasus, Reelius, Roimus, and Baana, their guides.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:21 @ They of Macalon, an hundred twenty and two: they of Betolius, fifty and two: the sons of Nephis, an hundred fifty and six:

apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:34 @ The sons of Hagia, the sons of Pharacareth, the sons of Sabi, the sons of Sarothie, the sons of Masias, the sons of Gar, the sons of Addus, the sons of Suba, the sons of Apherra, the sons of Barodis, the sons of Sabat, the sons of Allom.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:35 @ All the ministers of the temple, and the sons of the servants of Solomon, were three hundred seventy and two.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:37 @ Neither could they shew their families, nor their stock, how they were of Israel: the sons of Ladan, the son of Ban, the sons of Necodan, six hundred fifty and two.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:38 @ And of the priests that usurped the office of the priesthood, and were not found: the sons of Obdia, the sons of Accoz, the sons of Addus, who married Augia one of the daughters of Barzelus, and was named after his name.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:39 @ And when the description of the kindred of these men was sought in the register, and was not found, they were removed from executing the office of the priesthood:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:41 @ So of Israel, from them of twelve years old and upward, they were all in number forty thousand, beside menservants and womenservants two thousand three hundred and sixty.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:44 @ And certain of the chief of their families, when they came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the house again in his own place according to their ability,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:46 @ And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; and all Israel in their villages.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:47 @ But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came all together with one consent into the open place of the first gate which is toward the east.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:48 @ Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren the priests and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God of Israel,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:49 @ To offer burnt sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:50 @ And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:51 @ Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:56 @ And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:58 @ And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. So the workmen built the temple of the Lord.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:60 @ Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:61 @ And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:63 @ Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:66 @ Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should mean.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:67 @ And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:69 @ For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:70 @ Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:71 @ We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:5:73 @ And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that king Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:1 @ Now in the second year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto the Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, which was upon them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:3 @ At the same time came unto them Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes and his companions, and said unto them,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:4 @ By whose appointment do ye build this house and this roof, and perform all the other things? and who are the workmen that perform these things?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:5 @ Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, because the Lord had visited the captivity;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:7 @ The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, rulers in Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius; To king Darius, greeting:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:10 @ And those works are done with great speed, and the work goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and diligence is it made.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:11 @ Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose commandment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works?
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:13 @ So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:14 @ And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a king of Israel great and strong, and was finished.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:15 @ But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, of the Chaldees;
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:17 @ But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:18 @ And the holy vessels of gold and of silver, that Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem, and had set them in his own temple those Cyrus the king brought forth again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were delivered to Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler,
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:19 @ With commandment that he should carry away the same vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem; and that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:20 @ Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:23 @ Then commanded king Darius to seek among the records at Babylon: and so at Ecbatane the palace, which is in the country of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things were recorded.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:27 @ And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:28 @ I have commanded also to have it built up whole again; and that they look diligently to help those that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:
apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:6:29 @ And out of the tribute of Celosyria and Phenice a portion carefully to be given these men for the sacrifices of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks, and rams, and lambs;
