drb@1Kings:2:22 @And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.

drb@1Kings:2:23 @Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.

drb@1Kings:2:24 @And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.

drb@1Kings:2:26 @And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.

drb@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.

drb@1Kings:2:28 @And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.

drb@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.

drb@1Kings:2:32 @And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.

drb@1Kings:2:33 @And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed and his house, and to his throne be peace for ever from the Lord.

drb@1Kings:4:20 @Juda and Israel were innumerable, as the sand of the sea in multitude: eating and drinking, and rejoicing.

drb@1Kings:4:21 @And Solomon had under him all the kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines,. even to the border of Egypt: and they brought him presents, and served him, all the days of his life.

drb@1Kings:4:22 @And the provision of Solomon for each day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

drb@1Kings:4:23 @Ten fat oxen and twenty out of the pastures, and a hundred rams, besides venison of harts, roes, and buffles, and fatted fowls.

drb@1Kings:4:24 @For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about.

drb@1Kings:4:25 @And Juda and Israel dwelt without any fear, every one under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan to Bersabee, all the days of Solomon.

drb@1Kings:4:26 @And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thou- sand for the saddle.

drb@1Kings:4:27 @And the foresaid governors of the king fed them: and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon's table, with great care in their time.

drb@1Kings:4:28 @They brought barley also and straw for the horses, and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them.

drb@1Kings:4:29 @And God gave to Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart as the sand that is on the sea shore.

drb@1Kings:4:30 @And the wisdom of Solomon surpassed the wisdom of all the Orientals, and of the Egyptians,

drb@1Kings:4:31 @And he was wiser than all men: wiser than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Dorda the sons of Mahol, and he was renowned in all nations round about.

drb@1Kings:4:32 @Solomon also spoke three thousand parables: and his poems were a thousand and five.

drb@1Kings:4:33 @And he treated about trees from the cedar that is in Libanus, unto the hyssop that cometh out of the wall: and he discoursed of beasts, and of fowls, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

drb@1Kings:4:34 @And they came from all nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and from all the kings of the earth, who heard of his wisdom.

drb@1Kings:5:1 @And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend.

drb@1Kings:5:2 @And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:

drb@1Kings:5:3 @Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.

drb@1Kings:5:4 @But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.

drb@1Kings:5:5 @Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: my son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.

drb@1Kings:5:6 @Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.

drb@1Kings:5:7 @Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.

drb@1Kings:5:8 @And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.

drb@1Kings:5:9 @My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.

drb@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.

drb@1Kings:5:11 @And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.

drb@1Kings:5:12 @And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they two made a league together

drb@1Kings:5:13 @And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.

drb@1Kings:5:14 @And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.

drb@1Kings:5:15 @And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:

drb@1Kings:5:16 @Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.

drb@1Kings:5:17 @And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:

drb@1Kings:5:18 @And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.

drb@1Kings:6:1 @And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of the reign of Solomon over Israel, in the month Zio (the same is the second month), he began to build a house to the Lord.

drb@1Kings:6:2 @And the house, which king Solomon built to the Lord, was threescore cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and thirty cubits in height.

drb@1Kings:6:3 @And there was a porch before the temple of twenty cubits in length, according to the measure of the breadth of the temple: and it was ten cubits in breadth before the face of the temple.

drb@1Kings:6:4 @And he made in the temple oblique windows.

drb@1Kings:6:5 @And upon the wall of the temple he built floors round about, in the walls of the house round about the temple and the oracle, and he made sides round about.

drb@1Kings:6:6 @The floor that was underneath, was five cubits in breadth, and the middle floor was six cubits in breadth, and the third door was seven cubits in breadth. And he put beams in the house round about on the outside, that they might not be fastened in the walls of the temple.

drb@1Kings:6:7 @And the house, when it was in building, was built of stones hewed and made ready: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house when it was in building.

drb@1Kings:6:8 @The door for the middle side was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third.

drb@1Kings:6:9 @So he built the house, and finished it: end he covered the house with roofs of cedar.

drb@1Kings:6:10 @And he built a floor over all the house five cubits in height, and he covered the house with timber of cedar.

drb@1Kings:6:11 @And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying:

drb@1Kings:6:12 @This house, which thou buildest, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee which I spoke to David thy father.

drb@1Kings:6:13 @And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

drb@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon built the house and finished it

drb@1Kings:6:15 @And he built the walls of the house on the inside, with boards of cedar, from the floor of the house to the top of the walls, and to the roots, he covered it with boards of cedar on the inside: and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

drb@1Kings:6:16 @And he built up twenty cubits with boards of cedar at the hinder part of the temple, from the floor to the top: and made the inner house of the oracle to be the holy of holies.

drb@1Kings:6:17 @And the temple itself before the doors of the oracle was forty cubits long.

drb@1Kings:6:18 @And all the house was covered within with cedar, having the turnings, and the joints thereof artfully wrought and carvings projecting out: all was covered with boards of cedar: and no stone could be seen in the wall at all.

drb@1Kings:6:19 @And he made the oracle in the midst of the house, in the inner part, to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

drb@1Kings:6:20 @Now the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height. And he covered and overlaid it with most pure gold. And the altar also he covered with cedar.

drb@1Kings:6:21 @And the house before the oracle he overlaid with most pure gold, and fastened on the plates with nails of gold.

drb@1Kings:6:22 @And there was nothing in the temple that was not covered with gold: the whole altar of the oracle he covered also with gold.

drb@1Kings:6:23 @And he made in the oracle two cherubims of olive tree, of ten cubits in height.

drb@1Kings:6:24 @One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub was five cubits: that is, in all ten cubits, from the extremity of one wing to the extremity of the other wing.

drb@1Kings:6:25 @The second cherub also was ten cubits: and the measure, and the work was the same in both the cherubims:

drb@1Kings:6:26 @That is to say, one cherub was ten cubits high, and in like manner the other cherub.

drb@1Kings:6:27 @And he set the cherubims in the midst of the inner temple: and the cherubims stretched forth their wings, and the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall: and the other wings in the midst of the temple touched one another.

drb@1Kings:6:28 @And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.

drb@1Kings:6:29 @And all the walls of the temple round about he carved with divers figures and carvings: and he made in them cherubims and palm trees, and divers representations, as it were standing out, and coming forth from the wall.

drb@1Kings:6:30 @And the floor of the house he also overlaid with gold within and without.

drb@1Kings:6:31 @And in the entrance of the oracle he made little doors of olive tree, and posts of five corners,

drb@1Kings:6:32 @And two doors of olive tree: and he carved upon them figures of cherubims, and figures of palm trees, and carvings very much projecting: and he overlaid them with gold: and he covered both the cherubims and the palm trees, and the other things with gold.

drb@1Kings:6:33 @And he made in the entrance of the temple posts of olive tree foursquare:

drb@1Kings:6:34 @And two doors of fir tree, one of each side: and each door was double, and so opened with folding leaves.

drb@1Kings:6:35 @And he carved cherubims, and palm trees, and carved work standing very much out: and he overlaid all with golden plates in square work by rule.

drb@1Kings:6:36 @And he built the inner court with three rows of polished stones, and one row of beams of cedar.

drb@1Kings:6:37 @In the fourth year was the house of the Lord founded in the month Zio:

drb@1Kings:6:38 @And in the eleventh year in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) the house was finished in all the works thereof, and in all the appurtenances thereof: and he was seven years in building it.

drb@1Kings:7:1 @And Solomon built his own house in thirteen years, and brought it to perfection.

drb@1Kings:7:2 @He built also the house of the forest of Libanus, the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars.

drb@1Kings:7:3 @And he covered the whole vault with boards of cedar, and it was held up with five and forty pillars. And one row had fifteen pillars,

drb@1Kings:7:4 @Set one against another,

drb@1Kings:7:5 @And looking one upon another, with equal space between the pillars, and over the pillars were square beams in- all things equal.

drb@1Kings:7:6 @And he made a porch of pillars of fifty cubits in length, and thirty cubits in breadth: and another porch before the greater porch: and pillars, and chapiters upon the pillars.

drb@1Kings:7:7 @He made also the porch of the throne, wherein is the seat of judgment: and covered it with cedar wood from the floor to the top.

drb@1Kings:7:8 @And in the midst of the porch, was a small house where he sat in judgment, of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch,

drb@1Kings:7:9 @All of costly stones, which were sawed by a certain rule and measure both within and without: from the foundation to the top of the walls, and without unto the great court.

drb@1Kings:7:10 @And the foundations were of costly stones, great stones of ten cubits or eight cubits:

drb@1Kings:7:11 @And above there were costly stones, or equal measure, hewed; and, in like manner, planks of cedar:

drb@1Kings:7:12 @And the greater court was made round with three rows of hewed stones, and one row of planks of cedar, moreover also in the inner court of the house of the Lord, and in the porch of the house.

drb@1Kings:7:13 @And king Solomon sent, and brought Hiram from Tyre,

drb@1Kings:7:14 @The son of a widow woman of the tribe of Nephtali, whose father was a Tyrian, an artificer in brass, and full of wisdom, and understanding, and skill to work all work in brass. And when he was come to king Solomon, he wrought all his work.

drb@1Kings:7:15 @And he cast two pillars in brass, each pillar was eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits compassed both the pillars.

drb@1Kings:7:16 @He made also two chapiters of molten brass, to be set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:

drb@1Kings:7:17 @And a kind of network, and chain work wreathed together with wonderful art. Both the chapiters of the pillars were cast: seven rows of nets were on one chapiter, and seven nets on the other chapiter.

drb@1Kings:7:18 @And he made the pillars, and two rows round about each network to cover the chapiters, that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and in like manner did he to the other chapiter.

drb@1Kings:7:19 @And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars, were of lily work in the porch, of four cubits.

drb@1Kings:7:20 @And again other chapiters in the top of the pillars above, according to the measure of the pillar over against the network: and of pomegranates there were two hundred in rows round about the other chapiter.

drb@1Kings:7:21 @And he set up the two pillars in the porch of the temple: and when he had set up the pillar on the right hand, he called the name thereof Jachin: in like manner he set up the second pillar, and called the name thereof Booz.

drb@1Kings:7:22 @And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.

drb@1Kings:7:23 @He made also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

drb@1Kings:7:24 @And a graven work under the brim of it compassed it, for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures.

drb@1Kings:7:25 @And it stood upon twelve oxen, of which three looked towards the north, and three towards the west, and three towards the south, and three towards the east, and the sea was above upon them, and their hinder parts were all hid within.

drb@1Kings:7:26 @And the laver was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was like the brim of a cup, or the leaf of a crisped lily: it contained two thousand bates.

drb@1Kings:7:27 @And he made ten bases of brass, every base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth, and three cubits high.

drb@1Kings:7:28 @And the work itself of the bases, was intergraven: and there were gravings between the joinings.

drb@1Kings:7:29 @And between the little crowns and the ledges were lions, and oxen, and cherubims: and in the joinings likewise above: and under the lions and oxen, as it were bands of brass hanging down.

drb@1Kings:7:30 @And every base had four wheels, and axletrees of brass: and at the four sides were undersetters under the laver molten, looking one against another.

drb@1Kings:7:31 @The mouth also of the laver within, was in the top of the chapiter: and that which appeared without, was of one cubit all round, and together it was one cubit and a half: and in the corners of the pillars were divers engravings: and the spaces between the pillars were square, not round.

drb@1Kings:7:32 @And the four wheels, which were at the four corners of the base, were joined one to another under the base: the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

drb@1Kings:7:33 @And they were such wheels as are used to be made in a chariot: and their axletrees, and spokes, and strakes, and naves, were all east.

drb@1Kings:7:34 @And the four undersetters that were at every corner of each base, were of the base itself cast and joined together.

drb@1Kings:7:35 @And in the top of the base there was a round compass of half a cubit, so wrought that the laver might be set thereon, having its gravings, and divers sculptures of itself.

drb@1Kings:7:36 @He engraved also in those plates, which were of brass. and in the corners, cherubims, and lions, and palm trees, in likeness of a man standing, so that they seemed not to be engraven, but added round about.

drb@1Kings:7:37 @After this manner he made ten bases, of one casting and measure, and the like graving.

drb@1Kings:7:38 @He made also ten lavers of brass: one laver contained four bases, and was of four cubits: and upon every base, in all ten, he put as many lavers.

drb@1Kings:7:39 @And he set the ten bases, five on the right side of the temple, and five on the left: and the sea he put on the right side of the temple over against the east southward.

drb@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made caldrons, and shovels, and basins, and finished all the work of king Solomon in the temple of the Lord.

drb@1Kings:7:41 @The two pillars and the two cords of the chapiters, upon the chapiters of the pillars: and the two networks, to cover the two cords, that were upon the top of the pillars.

drb@1Kings:7:42 @And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks: two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the cords of the chapiters, which were upon the tops of the pillars.

drb@1Kings:7:43 @And the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases.

drb@1Kings:7:44 @And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea.

drb@1Kings:7:45 @And the caldrons, and the shovels, and the basins. All the vessels that Hi- ram made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of fine brass.

drb@1Kings:7:46 @In the plains of the Jordan did the king cast them in a clay ground, between Socoth and Sartham.

drb@1Kings:7:47 @And Solomon placed all the vessels: but for exceeding great multitude the brass could not be weighed.

drb@1Kings:7:48 @And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the leaves of proposition should be set:

drb@1Kings:7:49 @And the golden candlesticks, five on the right hand, and five on the left, over against the oracle, of pure gold: and the flowers like lilies, and the lamps over them of gold: and golden snuffers,

drb@1Kings:7:50 @And pots, and fleshhooks, and bowls, and mortars, and censers, of most pure gold: and the hinges for the doors of the inner house of the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple were of gold.

drb@1Kings:7:51 @And Solomon finished all the work that he made in the house of the Lord, and brought in the things that David his father had dedicated, the silver and the gold, and the vessels, and laid them up in the treasures of the house of the Lord.

drb@1Kings:8:1 @Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.

drb@1Kings:8:2 @And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.

drb@1Kings:8:3 @And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,

drb@1Kings:8:4 @And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.

drb@1Kings:8:5 @And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.

drb@1Kings:8:6 @And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.

drb@1Kings:8:7 @For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.

drb@1Kings:8:8 @And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.

drb@1Kings:8:9 @Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

drb@1Kings:8:10 @And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,

drb@1Kings:8:11 @And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.

drb@1Kings:8:12 @Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.

drb@1Kings:8:13 @Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.

drb@1Kings:8:14 @And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.

drb@1Kings:8:15 @And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:

drb@1Kings:8:16 @Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

drb@1Kings:8:17 @And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:

drb@1Kings:8:18 @And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind

drb@1Kings:8:19 @Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.

drb@1Kings:8:20 @The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

drb@1Kings:8:21 @And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

drb@1Kings:8:22 @And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;

drb@1Kings:8:23 @And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.

drb@1Kings:8:24 @Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.

drb@1Kings:8:25 @Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.

drb@1Kings:8:26 @And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father

drb@1Kings:8:27 @Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?

drb@1Kings:8:28 @But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:

drb@1Kings:8:63 @And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.

drb@1Kings:8:64 @In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.

drb@1Kings:11:12 @Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

drb@1Kings:11:22 @And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.

drb@1Kings:11:26 @Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.

drb@1Kings:11:27 @And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.

drb@1Kings:13:11 @Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.

drb@1Kings:13:12 @And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.

drb@1Kings:13:13 @And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,

drb@1Kings:13:14 @And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.

drb@1Kings:13:15 @And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread

drb@1Kings:13:16 @But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:

drb@1Kings:13:17 @Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.

drb@1Kings:13:18 @He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,

drb@1Kings:13:19 @And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.

drb@1Kings:13:20 @And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:

drb@1Kings:13:21 @And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,

drb@1Kings:13:22 @And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.

drb@1Kings:13:23 @And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.

drb@1Kings:13:24 @And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.

drb@1Kings:13:25 @And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.

drb@1Kings:13:26 @And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.

drb@1Kings:13:27 @And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,

drb@1Kings:13:28 @And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.

drb@1Kings:13:29 @And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.

drb@1Kings:13:30 @And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas! my brother.

drb@1Kings:13:31 @And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.

drb@1Kings:13:32 @For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.

drb@1Kings:13:33 @After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.

drb@1Kings:13:34 @And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.

drb@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abia the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

drb@1Kings:14:2 @And Jeroboam said to his wife: Arise, and change thy dress, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Silo, where Ahias the prophet is, who told me, that I should reign over this people.

drb@1Kings:14:4 @Jeroboam's wife did as he told her: and rising up went to Silo, and came to the house of Ahias: but he could not see, for his eyes were dim by reason of his age.

drb@1Kings:14:5 @And the Lord said to Ahias: Behold the wife of Jeroboam cometh in, to consult thee concerning her son that is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak to her. So when she was coming in, and made as if she were another woman,

drb@1Kings:14:6 @Ahias heard the sound of her feet coming in at the door, and said: Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam: why dost thou feign thyself to be another? But I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.

drb@1Kings:14:7 @Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel:

drb@1Kings:14:8 @And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight:

drb@1Kings:14:9 @But hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast made thee strange gods and molten gods, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

drb@1Kings:14:10 @Therefore behold I will bring evils upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut of from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel: and I will sweep away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as dung is swept away till all be clean.

drb@1Kings:14:11 @Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it.

drb@1Kings:14:12 @Arise thou therefore, and go to thy house: and when thy feet shall be entering into the city, the child shall die,

drb@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, be- cause in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.

drb@1Kings:14:15 @And the Lord God shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water: and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river: because they have made to themselves groves, to provoke the Lord.

drb@1Kings:14:16 @And the Lord shall give up Israel for the sins of Jeroboam, who hath sinned, and made Israel to sin.

drb@1Kings:14:17 @And the wife of Jeroboam arose, and departed, and came to Thersa: and when she was coming in to the threshold of the house, the child died;

drb@1Kings:14:22 @And Juda did evil in the sight of the Lord, and provoked him above all that their fathers had done, in their sins which they committed.

drb@1Kings:14:23 @For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves upon every high hill and under every green tree:

drb@1Kings:14:24 @There were also the effeminate in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the people whom the Lord had destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.

drb@1Kings:14:25 @And in the fifth year of the reign of Roboam, Sesac king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

drb@1Kings:14:26 @And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the king's treasures, and carried all off: as also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

drb@1Kings:14:27 @And Roboam made shields of brass instead of them, and delivered them into the. hand of the captains of the shieldbearers, and of them that kept watch before the gate of the king's house.

drb@1Kings:15:3 @And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: end his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.

drb@1Kings:15:4 @But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

drb@1Kings:15:5 @Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.

drb@1Kings:15:11 @And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:

drb@1Kings:15:12 @And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.

drb@1Kings:15:13 @Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:

drb@1Kings:15:15 @And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.

drb@1Kings:15:16 @And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.

drb@1Kings:15:17 @And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.

drb@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:

drb@1Kings:15:19 @There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me

drb@1Kings:15:22 @But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.

drb@1Kings:18:17 @And when he had seen him, he said: Art thou he that troublest Israel?

drb@1Kings:18:18 @And he said: I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, who have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and have followed Baalim.

drb@1Kings:18:19 @Nevertheless send now, and gather unto me all Israel, unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezabel's table.

drb@1Kings:18:20 @Achab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered together the prophets unto mount Carmel.

drb@1Kings:18:21 @And Elias coming to all the people, said: How long do you halt between two sides? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.

drb@1Kings:18:22 @And Elias said again to the people: I only remain a prophet of the Lord: but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.

drb@1Kings:18:23 @Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it.

drb@1Kings:18:25 @Then Elias said to the prophets of Baal: Choose you one bullock and dress it first, because you are many: and call on the names of your gods, but put no fire under.

drb@1Kings:18:26 @And they took the bullock which he gave them, and dressed it: and they called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying: O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered: and they leaped over the altar that they had made.

drb@1Kings:18:27 @And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a God, and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked.

drb@1Kings:18:28 @So they cried with a loud voice, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till they were all covered with blood.

drb@1Kings:18:29 @And after midday was past, and while they were prophesying, the time was come of offering sacrifice, and there was no voice heard, nor did any one answer, nor regard them as they prayed:

drb@1Kings:18:30 @Elias said to all the people: Come se unto me. And the people coming near unto him, he repaired the altar of the Lord, that was broken down:

drb@1Kings:18:31 @And he took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: Israel shall be thy name.

drb@1Kings:18:32 @And he built with the stones an altar to the name of the Lord: and he made a trench for water, of the breadth of two furrows round about the altar.

drb@1Kings:18:33 @And he laid the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the wood.

drb@1Kings:18:34 @And he said: Fill four buckets with water, and pour it upon the burnt offering, and upon the wood. And again he said: Do the same the second time. And when they had done it the second time, he said: Do the same also the third time. And they did so the third time.

drb@1Kings:18:35 @And the water run round about the altar, and the trench was filled with water.

drb@1Kings:18:36 @And when it was now time to offer the holocaust, Elias the prophet came near and said: O Lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, shew this day that thou art the God of Israel, and I thy servant, and that according to thy commandment I have done all these things.

drb@1Kings:18:37 @Hear me, O Lord, hear me: that this people may learn, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart again.

drb@1Kings:18:38 @Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

drb@1Kings:20:31 @And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives.

drb@1Kings:22:30 @And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.

drb@1Kings:22:31 @And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.

drb@1Kings:22:32 @So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.

drb@1Kings:22:38 @And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.

drb@2Kings:1:6 @But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that thou sendest to Beelzebub the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but then shalt surely die.

drb@2Kings:1:7 @And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?

drb@2Kings:1:8 @But they said: A hairy man with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias the Thesbite.

drb@2Kings:2:10 @And he answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it.

drb@2Kings:2:11 @And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

drb@2Kings:2:12 @And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces.

drb@2Kings:2:16 @And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the spirit of the Lord hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley. And he said: Do not send.

drb@2Kings:2:17 @But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days but found him not.

drb@2Kings:2:19 @And the men of the city said to Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground barren.

drb@2Kings:2:20 @And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,

drb@2Kings:2:21 @He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.

drb@2Kings:2:22 @And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke.

drb@2Kings:2:23 @And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.

drb@2Kings:2:24 @And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them two and forty boys.

drb@2Kings:2:25 @And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

drb@2Kings:3:1 @And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of m Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.

drb@2Kings:3:2 @And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.

drb@2Kings:3:3 @Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.

drb@2Kings:3:4 @Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.

drb@2Kings:3:5 @And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.

drb@2Kings:3:6 @And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.

drb@2Kings:3:7 @And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.

drb@2Kings:3:9 @So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.

drb@2Kings:3:10 @And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!

drb@2Kings:3:11 @And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.

drb@2Kings:3:12 @And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.

drb@2Kings:3:13 @And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?

drb@2Kings:3:14 @And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.

drb@2Kings:3:15 @But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:

drb@2Kings:3:17 @For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.

drb@2Kings:3:18 @And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.

drb@2Kings:3:19 @And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.

drb@2Kings:3:20 @And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

drb@2Kings:3:21 @And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.

drb@2Kings:3:22 @And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,

drb@2Kings:3:23 @And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.

drb@2Kings:3:24 @And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.

drb@2Kings:3:25 @And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.

drb@2Kings:3:26 @And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.

drb@2Kings:3:27 @Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.

drb@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.

drb@2Kings:4:2 @And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.

drb@2Kings:4:3 @And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.

drb@2Kings:4:4 @And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.

drb@2Kings:4:5 @So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.

drb@2Kings:5:18 @But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.

drb@2Kings:5:19 @And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.

drb@2Kings:5:20 @But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:

drb@2Kings:5:21 @21And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?

drb@2Kings:5:22 @And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

drb@2Kings:5:23 @And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.

drb@2Kings:5:24 @And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.

drb@2Kings:5:25 @But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.

drb@2Kings:5:26 @But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

drb@2Kings:5:27 @But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.

drb@2Kings:6:1 @And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.

drb@2Kings:6:2 @Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go.

drb@2Kings:6:3 @And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.

drb@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood.

drb@2Kings:6:5 @And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.

drb@2Kings:6:6 @And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.

drb@2Kings:6:7 @And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.

drb@2Kings:6:8 @And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.

drb@2Kings:6:9 @And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.

drb@2Kings:6:10 @And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.

drb@2Kings:6:11 @And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?

drb@2Kings:6:12 @And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.

drb@2Kings:6:13 @And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.

drb@2Kings:6:17 @And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus.

drb@2Kings:6:18 @And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.

drb@2Kings:6:19 @And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.

drb@2Kings:6:20 @And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.

drb@2Kings:6:22 @And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

drb@2Kings:6:23 @And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

drb@2Kings:6:24 @And tit came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

drb@2Kings:6:25 @And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver.

drb@2Kings:6:26 @And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.

drb@2Kings:6:29 @So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.

drb@2Kings:6:30 @When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh.

drb@2Kings:6:32 @But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head?

drb@2Kings:6:33 @While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord?

drb@2Kings:7:1 @And Eliseus said: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: To morrow about this time a bushel of fine hour shall be sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, in the gate of Samaria.

drb@2Kings:7:2 @Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make hood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

drb@2Kings:7:5 @So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp, And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there.

drb@2Kings:7:6 @For the Lord had made them hear, in the camp of Syria, the noise of chariots, and of horses, and of a very great army, and they said one to another: Behold the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hethites, and of the Egyptians, and they are come upon us.

drb@2Kings:7:7 @Wherefore they arose, and fled away in the dark, and left their tents, and their horses and asses in the camp, and fled, desiring to save their lives.

drb@2Kings:7:9 @Then they said one to another: We do not well: for this is a day of good tidings. If we hold our peace, and do not tell it till the morning, we shall be charged with a crime: come, let us go and tell it in the king's court.

drb@2Kings:7:12 @And he arose in the night and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city.

drb@2Kings:7:13 @And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed,) and let us send and see.

drb@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them as far as the Jordan: and behold all the way was full of garments, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their fright, and the messengers returned end told the king.

drb@2Kings:7:16 @And the people going out pillaged the camp of the Syrians: and a bushel of fine flour was sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, according to the word of the Lord

drb@2Kings:7:17 @And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him.

drb@2Kings:7:18 @And it came to pass according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time to morrow in the gate of Samaria.

drb@2Kings:16:7 @And Achaz sent messengers to Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, saying: I am thy servant, and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up together against me.

drb@2Kings:16:8 @And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians.

drb@2Kings:16:9 @And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene, but Basin he slew.

drb@2Kings:16:10 @And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, end when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias the priest a pattern of it, and its likeness according to all the work thereof.

drb@2Kings:16:11 @And Urias the priest built an altar according to all that king Achaz had commanded from Damascus, so did Urias the priest, until king Achaz came from Damascus.

drb@2Kings:16:12 @And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice.

drb@2Kings:16:13 @And offered libations and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered upon the altar.

drb@2Kings:16:14 @But the altar of brass that was before the Lord, he removed from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord: and he set it at the side of the altar toward the north.

drb@2Kings:16:15 @And king Achaz commanded Urias the priest saying: Upon the great altar offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the king's holocaust, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the whole people of the land, and their sacrifices, and their libations: and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim thou shalt pour out upon it: but the altar of brass shall be ready at my pleasure.

drb@2Kings:16:16 @So Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz had commanded him.

drb@2Kings:16:17 @And king Achaz took away the graven bases, and the laver that was upon them: and he took down the sea from the brazen oxen that held it up, and put it upon a pavement of stone.

drb@2Kings:16:18 @The Musach also for the sabbath, which he had built in the temple: and the king's entry from without he turned into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.

drb@2Kings:16:19 @Now the rest of the acts of Achaz, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

drb@2Kings:16:20 @And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.

drb@2Kings:17:1 @In the twelfth year of Achaz king of Juda, Osee the son of Ela reigned in Samaria over Israel nine years.

drb@2Kings:17:2 @And he did evil before the Lord: but not as the kings of Israel that had been before him.

drb@2Kings:17:3 @Against him came up Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, and Osee became his servant, and paid him tribute.

drb@2Kings:17:4 @And when the king of the Assyrians found that Osee endeavouring to rebel had sent messengers to Sua the king of Egypt, that he might not pay tribute to the king of the Assyrians, as he had done every year, he besieged him, bound him, and cast him into prison,

drb@2Kings:17:5 @And he went through all the land: and going up to Samaria, he besieged it three years.

drb@2Kings:17:6 @And in the ninth year of Osee, the king of the Assyrians took Samaria, and carried Israel away to Assyria: and he placed them in Hala and Habor by the river of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.

drb@2Kings:17:7 @For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and they worshipped strange gods.

drb@2Kings:17:8 @And they walked according to the way of the nations which the Lord had destroyed in the sight of the children of Israel and of the kings of Israel: because they had done in like manner.

drb@2Kings:17:9 @And the children of Israel offended the Lord their God with things that were not right: and built them high places in all their cities from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

drb@2Kings:17:10 @And they made them statues and groves on every high hill, and under every shady tree:

drb@2Kings:17:11 @And they burnt incense there upon altars after the manner of the nations which the Lord had removed from their face: and they did wicked things, provoking the Lord.

drb@2Kings:17:12 @And they worshipped abominations, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do this thing.

drb@2Kings:17:13 @And the Lord testified to them in Israel and in Juda by the hand of all the prophets and seers, saying: Return from your wicked ways, and keep my precepts, and ceremonies, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers: and as I have sent to you in the hand of my servants the prophets.

drb@2Kings:17:14 @And they hearkened not, but hardened their necks like to the neck of their fathers, who would not obey the Lord their God.

drb@2Kings:17:15 @And they rejected his ordinances and the covenant that he made with their fathers, and the testimonies which he testified against them: and they followed vanities, and acted vainly: and they followed the nations that were round about them, concerning which the Lord had commanded them that they should not do as they did.

drb@2Kings:17:16 @And they forsook all the precepts of the Lord their God: and made to themselves two molten calves, and groves, and adored all the host of heaven: and they served Baal.

drb@2Kings:17:17 @And consecrated their sons, and their daughters through fire: and they gave themselves to divinations, and soothsayings: and they delivered themselves up to do evil before the Lord, to provoke him.

drb@2Kings:17:18 @And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them from his sight, and there remained only the tribe of Juda.

drb@2Kings:17:19 @But neither did Juda itself keep the commandments of the Lord their God: but they walked in the errors of Israel, which they had wrought.

drb@2Kings:17:20 @And the Lord cast off all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, till he cast them away from his face:

drb@2Kings:17:21 @Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam son of Nabat their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.

drb@2Kings:17:22 @And the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam, which he had done: and they departed not from them,

drb@2Kings:17:23 @Till the Lord removed Israel from his face, as he had spoken in the hand of all his servants the prophets: and Israel was carried away out of their land to Assyria, unto this day

drb@2Kings:17:24 @And the king of the Assyrians brought people from Babylon, and from Cutha, and from Avah, and from Emath, and from Sepharvaim: and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

drb@2Kings:17:25 @And when they began to dwell there, they feared not the Lord: and the Lord sent lions among them, which killed them.

drb@2Kings:17:26 @And it was told the king of the Assyrians, and it was said: The nations which thou hast removed, and made to dwell in the cities of Samaria, know not the ordinances of the God of the land: and the Lord hath sent lions among them: and behold they kill them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

drb@2Kings:17:27 @And the king of the Assyrians commanded, saying: Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from thence captive, and let him go, and dwell with them: and let him teach them the ordinances of the God of the land.

drb@2Kings:17:28 @So one of the priests who had been carried away captive from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should worship the Lord.

drb@2Kings:17:29 @And every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the temples of the high places, which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities where they dwelt.

drb@2Kings:17:30 @For the men of Babylon made Sochothbenoth: and the Cuthites made Nergel: and the men of Emath made Asima.

drb@2Kings:17:31 @And the Hevites made Nebahaz and Tharthac. And they that were of Sepharvaim burnt their children in fire, to Adramelech and Anamelech the gods of Sepharvaim.

drb@2Kings:17:32 @And nevertheless they worshipped the Lord. And they made to themselves, of the lowest of the people, priests of the high places, and they placed them in the temples of the high places.

drb@2Kings:17:33 @And when they worshipped the Lord, they served also their own gods according to the custom of the nations out of which they were brought to Samaria:

drb@2Kings:17:34 @Unto this day they followed the old manner: they fear not the Lord, neither do they keep his ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which the Lord commanded the children of Jacob, whom he surnamed Israel:

drb@2Kings:17:35 @With whom he made a covenant, and charged them, saying: You shall not fear strange gods, nor shall you adore them, nor worship them, nor sacrifice to them.

drb@2Kings:17:36 @But the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you adore, and to him shall you sacrifice.

drb@2Kings:17:37 @And the ceremonies, and judgments, and law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do them always: and you shall not fear strange gods.

drb@2Kings:17:39 @But fear the Lord your God, and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

drb@2Kings:17:40 @But they did not hearken, but did according to their old custom.

drb@2Kings:17:41 @So these nations feared the Lord, but nevertheless served also their idols: their children also and grandchildren, as their fathers did, so do they unto this day.

drb@2Kings:18:4 @He destroyed the n high places, and broke the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and broke the brazen serpent, which Moses had made: for till that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called its name Nohestan.

drb@2Kings:18:5 @He trusted in the Lord the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him:

drb@2Kings:18:15 @And Ezechias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures.

drb@2Kings:18:16 @At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians.

drb@2Kings:18:18 @And they called for the king: and there went out to them Eliacim the son of Helcias who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.

drb@2Kings:18:19 @And Rabsaces said to them: Speak to Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence, wherein thou trustest?

drb@2Kings:18:21 @Dost thou trust in Egypt a staff of a broken reed, upon which if a man lean, it will break and go into his hand, and pierce it? so is Pharao king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.

drb@2Kings:18:22 @But if you say to me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away: and hath commanded Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

drb@2Kings:18:23 @Now therefore come over to my master the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, and see whether you be able to have riders for them.

drb@2Kings:18:25 @Is it without the will of the Lord that I am come up to this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up to this land and destroy it.

drb@2Kings:18:26 @Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.

drb@2Kings:18:27 @And Rabsaces answered them, saying: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak these words, and not rather to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?

drb@2Kings:18:28 @Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.

drb@2Kings:18:32 @Till I come, and take you away to a land, like to your own land, a fruitful land, and plentiful in wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives, and oil and honey, and you shall live, and not die.

drb@2Kings:21:11 @Because Manasses king of Juda hath done these most wicked abominations, beyond all that the Amorrhites did before him, and hath made Juda also to sin with his filthy doings:

drb@2Kings:21:12 @Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will bring on evils upon Jerusalem and Juda: that whosoever shall hear of them, both his ears shall tingle.

drb@2Kings:21:13 @And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the weight of the house of Achab: and I will efface Jerusalem, as tables are wont to be effaced, and I will erase and turn it, and draw the pencil often over the face thereof.

drb@2Kings:21:16 @Moreover Manasses shed also very much innocent blood, till he filled Jerusalem up to the mouth: besides his sins, wherewith he made Juda to sin, to do evil before the Lord.

drb@Ezra:1:7 @And king Cyrus brought forth the vessels of the temple of the Lord, which Nabuchodonosor had taken from Jerusalem, and had put them in the temple of his god.

drb@Ezra:1:8 @Now Cyrus king of Persia brought them forth by the hand of Mithridates the son of Gazabar, and numbered them to Sassabasar the prince of Juda.

drb@Ezra:2:1 @Now these are the children of the province, that went out of the captivity, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Juda, every man to his city.

drb@Ezra:3:7 @And they gave money to hewers of stones and to masons: and meat and drink, and oil to the Sidonians and Tyrians, to bring cedar trees from Libanus to the sea of Joppe, according to the orders which Cyrus king of the Persians had given them.

drb@Ezra:4:12 @Be it known to the king, that the Jews, who came up from thee to us, are come to Jerusalem a rebellious and wicked city, which they are building, setting up the ramparts thereof and repairing the walls.

drb@Ezra:4:13 @And now be it known to the king, that if this city be built up, and the walls thereof repaired, they will not pay tribute nor toll, nor yearly revenues, and this loss will fail upon the kings.

drb@Ezra:4:14 @But we remembering the salt that we have eaten in the palace, and because we count it a crime to see the king wronged, have therefore sent and certified the king,

drb@Ezra:4:15 @That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed.

drb@Ezra:4:16 @We certify the king, that if this city be built, and the walls thereof repaired, thou shalt have no possession on this side of the river.

drb@Ezra:4:17 @The king sent word to Reum Beelteem and Samsai the scribe, and to the rest that were in their council, inhabitants of Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, sending greeting and peace.

drb@Ezra:4:19 @And I commanded: and search hath been made, and it is found, that this city of old time hath rebelled against kings, and seditions and wars have been raised therein.

drb@Ezra:4:20 @For there have been powerful kings in Jerusalem, who hare had dominion over all the country that is beyond the river: and have received tribute, and toll and revenues.

drb@Ezra:4:22 @See that you be not negligent in executing this, lest by little and little the evil grow to the hurt of the kings.

drb@Ezra:4:23 @Now the copy of the edict of king Artaxerxes was read before Reum Beelteem, and Samsai the scribe, and their counsellors: and they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and hindered them with arm and power.

drb@Ezra:5:12 @But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon

drb@Ezra:5:17 @Now therefore if it seem good to the king, let him search in the king's library, which is in Babylon, whether it hath been decreed by Cyrus the king, that the house of God in Jerusalem should be built, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

drb@Ezra:6:1 @Then king Darius gave orders, and they searched in the library of the books that were laid up in Babylon,

drb@Ezra:6:3 @In the first year of Cyrus the king: Cyrus the king decreed, that the house of God should be built, which is in Jerusalem, in the place where they may offer sacrifices, and that they lay the foundations that may support the height of threescore cubits, and the breadth of threescore cubits,

drb@Ezra:6:4 @Three rows of unpolished stones, and so rows of new timber: and the charges shall be given out of the king's house.

drb@Ezra:6:8 @I also have commanded what must be done by those ancients of the Jews, that the house of God may be built, to wit, that of the king's chest, that is, of the tribute that is paid out of the country beyond the river, the charges be diligently given to those men, lest the work be hindered.

drb@Ezra:6:10 @And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his children.

drb@Ezra:6:13 @So then Thathanai, governor of the country beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and his counsellors diligently executed what Darius the king had commanded.

drb@Ezra:6:14 @And the ancients of the Jews built and prospered according to the prophecy of Aggeus the prophet, and of Zacharias the son of Addo: and they built and finished, by the commandment of the God of Israel, and by the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes kings of the Persians

drb@Ezra:7:28 @And hath inclined his mercy toward me before the king and his counsellors, and all the mighty princes of the king: and I being strengthened by the hand of the Lord my God, which was upon me, gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

drb@Ezra:8:1 @Now these are the chiefs of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.

drb@Ezra:8:22 @For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him.

drb@Esther:1:11 @To bring in queen Vasthi before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to shew her beauty to all the people and the princes: for she was exceeding beautiful.

drb@Esther:1:17 @For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not.

drb@Esther:1:18 @And by this example all the wives of the princes of the Persians and the Medes will slight the commandments of their husbands: wherefore the king's indignation is just.

drb@Esther:1:19 @If it please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place.

drb@Esther:1:21 @His counsel pleased the king, and the princes: and the king did according to the counsel of Mamuchan.

drb@Esther:1:22 @And he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every people.

drb@Esther:2:1 @After this, when the wrath of king Assuerus was appeased, he remembered Vasthi, and what she had done end what she had suffered:

drb@Esther:2:2 @And the king's servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,

drb@Esther:2:3 @And let some persons be sent through all the provinces to look for beautiful maidens and virgins: and let them bring them to the city of Susan, and put them into the house of the women under the hand of Egeus the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king's women: and let them receive women's ornaments, and other things necessary for their use.

drb@Esther:2:4 @And whosoever among them all shall please the king's eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested.

drb@Esther:2:6 @Who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away Jechonias king of Juda,

drb@Esther:2:8 @And when the king's ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number of the women.

drb@Esther:2:12 @Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.

drb@Esther:2:14 @And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she re- turn any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come.

drb@Esther:2:15 @And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king.

drb@Esther:3:2 @And all the king's servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him.

drb@Esther:3:3 @And the king's servants that were chief at the doors of the palace, said to him: Why dost thou alone not observe the king's commandment?

drb@Esther:3:6 @And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus.

drb@Esther:3:8 @And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king's ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity.

drb@Esther:3:10 @And the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy of the Jews,

drb@Esther:3:13 @Were sent by the king's messengers to all provinces, to kill and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to make a spoil of their goods.

drb@Esther:4:2 @And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court.

drb@Esther:4:3 @And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king's cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.

drb@Esther:4:5 @And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this.

drb@Esther:4:7 @And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king's treasures, to have the Jews destroyed.

drb@Esther:4:8 @He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to en- treat him for her people.

drb@Esther:4:11 @11All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him?

drb@Esther:4:13 @He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king a house, more than all the Jews:

drb@Esther:4:14 @For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?

drb@Esther:4:16 @Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger.

drb@Esther:5:1 @And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house.

drb@Esther:5:3 @And the king said to her: What wilt then, queen Esther? what is thy request? if thou shouldst even ask one half of the kingdom, it shall be given to thee.

drb@Esther:5:4 @But she answered: If it please the king. I beseech thee to come to me this day, and Aman with thee to the banquet which I have prepared.

drb@Esther:5:5 @And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther's will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them.

drb@Esther:5:6 @And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.

drb@Esther:5:8 @If I have found favour in the king's sight, and if it please the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfil my petition: let the king and Aman come to the banquet which I have prepared them, and to morrow I will open my mind to the king.

drb@Esther:5:11 @And he declared to them the greatness of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and with how great glory the king had advanced him above all his princes and servants.

drb@Esther:5:12 @And after this he said: Queen Esther also hath invited no other to the banquet with the king, but me: and with her I am also to dine to morrow with the king:

drb@Esther:5:13 @And whereas I have all these things, I think I have nothing, so long as I see Mardochai the Jew sitting before the king's gate.

drb@Esther:5:14 @Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared.

drb@Esther:6:1 @That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before him,

drb@Esther:6:2 @They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.

drb@Esther:6:3 @And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.

drb@Esther:6:4 @And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.

drb@Esther:6:5 @The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.

drb@Esther:6:6 @And when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,

drb@Esther:6:7 @Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,

drb@Esther:6:8 @Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,

drb@Esther:6:9 @And let the first of the king's princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.

drb@Esther:6:10 @And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.

drb@Esther:6:11 @So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind to honour.

drb@Esther:6:14 @As they were yet speaking, the king's eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared

drb@Esther:7:1 @So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen.

drb@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.

drb@Esther:7:3 @Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.

drb@Esther:7:4 @For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king.

drb@Esther:7:5 @And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?

drb@Esther:7:6 @And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen.

drb@Esther:7:7 @But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.

drb@Esther:7:8 @And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king's mouth, and immediately they covered his face.

drb@Esther:7:9 @And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it.

drb@Esther:7:10 @So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king's wrath ceased.

drb@Esther:8:1 @On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle.

drb@Esther:8:2 @And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house.

drb@Esther:8:3 @And not content with these things, she fell down at the king's feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect.

drb@Esther:8:5 @And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king's provinces, may be reversed by new letters.

drb@Esther:8:7 @And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman's house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews.

drb@Esther:8:8 @Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring.

drb@Esther:8:9 @Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear.

drb@Esther:8:10 @And these letters which were sent in the king's name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages.

drb@Esther:8:11 @And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil.

drb@Esther:8:13 @And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies.

drb@Esther:8:14 @So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king's edict was hung up in Susan.

drb@Esther:8:15 @And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king's presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was glad.

drb@Esther:8:17 @And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king's commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all.

drb@Esther:9:11 @And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.

drb@Esther:9:13 @And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do to morrow in Susan as they have done to day, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.

drb@Esther:9:14 @And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.

drb@Esther:9:16 @Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.

drb@Esther:9:20 @And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king's provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,

drb@Esther:9:25 @And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king's letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.

drb@Esther:9:30 @And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,

drb@Esther:10:1 @And king Assuerus made all the land, and all the islands of the sea tributary.

drb@Esther:10:3 @And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed.

drb@Job:1:13 @Now upon a certain day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,

drb@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king commanded to call together the diviners and the wise men, and the magicians, and the Chaldeans: to declare to the king his dreams: so they came and stood before the king.

drb@Daniel:2:3 @And the king said to them: I saw a dream: and being troubled in mind I know not what I saw.

drb@Daniel:2:4 @And the Chaldeans answered the king in Syriac: O king, live for ever: tell to thy servants thy dream, and we will declare the interpretation thereof.

drb@Daniel:2:5 @And the king answering said to the Chaldeans: The thing is gone out of my mind: unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning thereof, you shall be put to death, and your houses shall be confiscated.

drb@Daniel:2:7 @They answered again and said: Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation of it.

drb@Daniel:2:8 @The king answered, and said: I know for certain that you seek to gain time, since you know that the thing is gone from me.

drb@Daniel:2:10 @Then the Chaldeains answered before the king, and said: There is no man upon earth, that can accomplish thy word, O king, neither doth any king, though great and mighty, ask such a thing of any diviner, or wise man, or Chaldean.

drb@Daniel:2:11 @For the thing that thou askest, O king, is difficult; nor can any one be found that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose conversation is not with men.

drb@Daniel:2:12 @Upon hearing this, the king in fury, and in great wrath, commanded that all the wise men of Babylon should be put to death.

drb@Daniel:2:14 @Then Daniel inquired concerning the law and the sentence, of Arioch the general of the king's army, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon.

drb@Daniel:2:15 @And he asked him that had received the orders of the king, why so cruel a sentence was gone forth from the face of the king. And when Arioch had told the matter to Daniel,

drb@Daniel:2:16 @Daniel went in and desired of the king, that he would give him time to resolve the question and declare it to the king.

drb@Daniel:2:20 @And speaking he said: Blessed be the name of the Lord from eternity and for evermore: for wisdom and fortitude are his.

drb@Daniel:2:21 @And he changeth times and ages: taketh away kingdoms and establisheth them, giveth wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to them that have understanding.

drb@Daniel:2:23 @To thee, O God of our fathers, I give thanks, and I praise thee: because thou hast given me wisdom and strength: and now thou hast shewn me what we desired of thee, for thou hast made known to us, the king's discourse.

drb@Daniel:2:24 @After this Daniel went in to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, and he spoke thus to him: Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.

drb@Daniel:2:25 @Then Arioch in haste brought in Daniel to the king, and said to him: I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Juda, that will resolve the question to the king.

drb@Daniel:2:26 @The king answered, and said to Daniel, whose name was Baltassar: Thinkest thou indeed that thou canst tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation thereof?

drb@Daniel:2:27 @And Daniel made answer before the king, and said: The secret that the king desireth to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, or the diviners, or the soothsayers can declare to the king.

drb@Daniel:2:28 @But there is a God in heaven that revealeth mysteries, who hath shewn to thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, what is to come to pass in the latter times. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

drb@Daniel:2:29 @Thou, O king, didst begin to think in thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth mysteries shewed thee what shall come to pass.

drb@Daniel:2:30 @To me also this secret is revealed, not by any wisdom that I have more than all men alive: but that the interpretation might be made manifest to the king, and thou mightest know the thoughts of thy mind.

drb@Daniel:2:31 @Thou, O king, sawest, and behold there was as it were a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, tall of stature, stood before thee, and the look thereof was terrible.

drb@Daniel:2:36 @This is the dream: we will also tell the interpretation thereof before thee, O king.

drb@Daniel:2:37 @Thou art a king of kings: and the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, and strength, and power, and glory:

drb@Daniel:2:39 @And after thee shall rise up another kingdom, inferior to thee, of silver: and another third kingdom of brass, which shall rule over all the world.

drb@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom shall be as iron. As iron breaketh into pieces, and subdueth all things, so shall that break and destroy all these.

drb@Daniel:2:41 @Arid whereas thou sawest the feet, and the toes, part of potter's clay, and part of iron: the kingdom shall be divided, but yet it shall take its origin from the iron, according as thou sawest the iron mixed with the miry clay.

drb@Daniel:2:42 @And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

drb@Daniel:2:44 @But in the days of those kingdoms the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, and his kingdom shall not be delivered up to another people, and it shall break in pieces, and shall consume all these kingdoms, and itself shall stand for ever.

drb@Daniel:2:45 @According as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and broke in pieces, the clay, and the iron, and the brass, and the silver, and the gold, the great God hath shewn the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is true, and the interpretation thereof is faithful.

drb@Daniel:2:46 @Then king Nabuchodonosor fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer in sacrifice to him victims and incense.

drb@Daniel:2:47 @And the king spoke to Daniel, and said: Verily your God is the God of gods, and Lord of kings, and a revealer of hidden things: seeing thou couldst discover this secret.

drb@Daniel:2:48 @Then the king advanced Daniel to a high station, and gave him many and great gifts: and he made him governor over all the provinces of Babylon, and chief of the magistrates over all the wise men of Babylon.

drb@Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago over the works of the province of Babylon: but Daniel himself was in the king's palace.

drb@Daniel:3:1 @King Nabuchodonosor made a statue of gold, of sixty cubits high, and six cubits broad, and he set it up in the plain of Dura of the province of Babylon.

drb@Daniel:3:2 @Then Nabuchodonosor the king sent to call together the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, the rulers, and governors, and all the chief men of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.

drb@Daniel:3:3 @Then the nobles, the magistrates, and the judges, the captains, and rulers, and the great men that were placed in authority, and all the princes of the provinces, were gathered together to come to the dedication of the statue, which king Nabuchodonosor had set up. And they stood before the statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.

drb@Daniel:3:5 @That in the hour that you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, and of the flute, and of the harp, of the sackbut, and of the psaltery, and of the symphony, and of all kind of music; ye fall down and adore the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor hath set up.

drb@Daniel:3:7 @Upon this therefore, at the time when all the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music: all the nations, tribes, and languages fell down and adored the golden statue which king Nabuchodonosor had set up.

drb@Daniel:3:9 @And said to king Nabuchodonosor: O king, live for ever:

drb@Daniel:3:10 @Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man that shall bear the sound of the trumpet, the flute, and the harp, of the sackbut, and the psaltery, of the symphony, and of all kind of music, shall prostrate himself, and adore the golden statue:

drb@Daniel:3:12 @Now there are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the works of the province of Babylon, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago: these men, O king, have slighted thy decree: they worship not thy gods, nor do they adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.

drb@Daniel:3:13 @Then Nabuchodonosor in fury, and in wrath, commanded that Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago should be brought: who immediately were brought before the king.

drb@Daniel:3:14 @And Nabuchodonosor the king spoke to them, and said: Is it true, O Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, that you do not worship my gods, nor adore the golden statue that I have set up?

drb@Daniel:3:16 @Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago answered and said to king Nabuchodonosor: We have no occasion to answer thee concerning this matter.

drb@Daniel:3:17 @For behold our God, whom we worship, is able to save us from the furnace of burning fire, and to deliver us out of thy hands, O king.

drb@Daniel:3:18 @But if he will not, be it known to thee, O king, that we will not worship thy gods, nor adore the golden statue which thou hast set up.

drb@Daniel:3:22 @For the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace was heated exceedingly. And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.

drb@Daniel:3:24 @Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king.

drb@Daniel:3:25 @He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

drb@Daniel:3:27 @And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.

drb@Daniel:3:28 @Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore any god, except their own God.

drb@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.

drb@Daniel:4:1 @Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.

drb@Daniel:4:3 @His signs, because they are great: and his wonders, because they are mighty: and his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, I and his power to all generations.

drb@Daniel:4:17 @This is the decree by the sentence of the watchers, and the word And demand of the holy ones; till the living know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men; and he will give it to whomsoever it shall please him, and he will appoint the basest man over it.

drb@Daniel:4:18 @I king Nabuchodonosor saw this dream: thou, therefore, O Baltassar, tell me quickly the interpretation: for all the wise men of my kingdom axe not able to declare the meaning of it to me: but thou art able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

drb@Daniel:4:19 @Then Daniel, whose name was Baltassar, began silently to think within himself for about one hour: and his thoughts troubled him. But the king answering, said: Baltassar, let not the dream and the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Baltassar answered, and said: My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thy enemies.

drb@Daniel:4:22 @It is thou, O king, who art grown great and become mighty: for thy greatness hath grown, and hath reached to heaven, and thy power unto the ends of the earth.

drb@Daniel:4:23 @And whereas the king saw a watcher, and a holy one come down from heaven, and say: Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, and let it be bound with iron and brass among the grass without, and let it be sprinkled with the dew of heaven, and let his feeding be with the wild beasts, till seven times pass over him.

drb@Daniel:4:24 @This is the interpretation of the sentence of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king.

drb@Daniel:4:25 @They shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and with wild beasts, and thou shalt eat grass as an ox, and shalt be wet with the dew of heaven: and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth over the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

drb@Daniel:4:26 @But whereas he commanded, that the stump of the roots thereof, that is, of the tree, should be left: thy kingdom shall remain to thee after thou shalt have known that power is from heaven.

drb@Daniel:4:27 @Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to thee, and redeem thou thy sins with alms, and thy iniquities with works of mercy to the poor: perhaps he will forgive thy offences.

drb@Daniel:4:28 @All these things came upon king Nabuchodonosor.

drb@Daniel:4:29 @At the end of twelve months he was walking in the palace of Babylon.

drb@Daniel:4:30 @And the king answered, and said: Is not this the great Babylon, which I have built to be the seat of the kingdom, by the strength of my power, and in the glory of my excellence?

drb@Daniel:4:31 @And while the word was yet in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven: To thee, O king Nabuchodonosor, it is said: Thy kingdom shall pass from thee,

drb@Daniel:4:32 @And they shall cast thee out from among men, and thy dwelling shall be with cattle and wild beasts: thou shalt eat grass like an ox, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

drb@Daniel:4:34 @Now at the end of the days, I Nabuchodonosor lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my sense was restored to me: and I blessed the most High, and I praised and glorified him that liveth for ever: for his power is an everlasting power, and his kingdom is to all generations.

drb@Daniel:4:36 @At the same time my sense returned to me, and I came to the honour and glory of my kingdom: and my shape returned to me: and my nobles, and my magistrates sought for me, and I was restored to my kingdom: and greater majesty was added to me.

drb@Daniel:4:37 @Therefore I Nabuchodonosor do now praise, and magnify, and glorify the King of heaven: because all his works are true, and his ways judgments, and them that walk in pride he is able to abase.

drb@Daniel:5:1 @Baltasar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles: and every one drank according to his age.

drb@Daniel:5:2 @And being now drunk he commanded that they should bring the vessels of gold and silver which Nabuchodonosor his father had brought away out of the temple, that was in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, and his wives and his concubines, might drink in them.

drb@Daniel:5:3 @Then were the golden and silver vessels brought, which he had brought away out of the temple that was in Jerusalem: and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.

drb@Daniel:5:5 @In the same hour there appeared fingers, as it were of the hand of a man, writing over against the candlestick upon the surface of the wall of the king's palace: and the king beheld the joints of the hand that wrote.

drb@Daniel:5:6 @Then was the king's countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him: and the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees struck one against the other.

drb@Daniel:5:7 @And the king cried out aloud to bring in the wise men, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, and said to the wise men of Babylon: Whosoever shall read this writing, and shall make known to me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with purple, and shall have a golden chain on his neck, and shall be the third man in my kingdom.

drb@Daniel:5:8 @Then came in all the king's wise men, but they could neither read the writing, nor declare the interpretation to the king.

drb@Daniel:5:9 @Wherewith king Baltasar was much troubled, and his countenance was changed: and his nobles also were troubled.

drb@Daniel:5:10 @Then the queen, on occasion of what had happened to the king, and his nobles, came into the banquet house: and she spoke and said: O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, neither let thy countenance be changed.

drb@Daniel:5:11 @There is a man in thy kingdom that hath the spirit of the holy gods in him: and in the days of thy father knowledge and wisdom were found in him: for king Nabuchodonosor thy father appointed him prince of the wise men, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers, thy father, I say, O king:

drb@Daniel:5:12 @Because a greater spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, and interpretation of dreams, and shewing of secrets, and resolving of difficult things, were found in him, that is, in Daniel: whom the king named Baltarsar

drb@Daniel:5:13 @Then Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king spoke, and said to him: Art thou Daniel of the children of the captivity of Juda, whom my father the king brought out of Judea?

drb@Daniel:5:16 @But I have heard of thee, that thou canst interpret obscure things, and resolve difficult things: now if thou art able to read the writing, and to shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third prince in my kingdom.

drb@Daniel:5:17 @To which Daniel made answer, and said before the king: Thy rewards be to thyself, and the gifts of thy house give to another: but the writing I will read to thee, O king, and shew thee the interpretation thereof.

drb@Daniel:5:18 @O king, the most high God gave to Nabuchodonosor thy father a kingdom, and greatness, and glory, and honour.

drb@Daniel:5:20 @But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit hardened unto pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and his glory was taken away.

drb@Daniel:5:21 @And he was driven out from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, and he did eat grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven: till he knew that the most High ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he will set over it whomsoever it shall please him.

drb@Daniel:5:26 @And this is the interpretation of the word. MANE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it.

drb@Daniel:5:28 @PHARES: thy kingdom is divided, and is given to the Medes and Persians.

drb@Daniel:5:29 @Then by the king's command Daniel was clothed with purple, and a chain of gold was put about his neck: and it was proclaimed of him that he had power as the third man in the kingdom.

drb@Daniel:5:30 @The same night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain.

drb@Daniel:5:31 @And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being threescore and two years old.

drb@Daniel:6:1 @It seemed good to Darius, and he appointed over the kingdom a hundred and twenty governors to be over his whole kingdom.

drb@Daniel:6:2 @And three princes over them, of whom Daniel was one: that the governors might give an account to them, and the king might have no trouble.

drb@Daniel:6:4 @And the king thought to set him over all the kingdom: whereupon the princes, and the governors sought to find occasion against Daniel with regard to the king: and they could find no cause, nor suspicion, because he was faithful, and no fault, nor suspicion was found in him

drb@Daniel:6:6 @Then the princes, and the governors craftily suggested to the king, and spoke thus unto him: King Darius, live for ever:

drb@Daniel:6:7 @All the princes of the kingdom, the magistrates, and governors, the senators, and judges have consulted together, that an imperial decree, and an edict be published: That whosoever shall ask any petition of any god, or man, for thirty days, but of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.

drb@Daniel:6:8 @Now, therefore, O king, confirm the sentence, and sign the decree: that what is decreed by the Medes and Persians may not be altered, nor any man be allowed to transgress it.

drb@Daniel:6:9 @So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it.

drb@Daniel:6:11 @Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God.

drb@Daniel:6:12 @And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.

drb@Daniel:6:13 @Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.

drb@Daniel:6:14 @Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him and even till sunset he laboured to save him

drb@Daniel:6:15 @But those mer. perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered.

drb@Daniel:6:16 @Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: Thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee.

drb@Daniel:6:17 @And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel.

drb@Daniel:6:18 @And the king went away to his house and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him.

drb@Daniel:6:19 @Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions' den:

drb@Daniel:6:21 @And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever:

drb@Daniel:6:22 @My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.

drb@Daniel:6:23 @Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God.

drb@Daniel:6:24 @And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that bad accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.

drb@Daniel:6:25 @Then king Darius wrote to all people, tribes, and languages, dwelling in the whole earth: PEACE be multiplied unto you.

drb@Daniel:6:26 @It is decreed by me, that in all my empire and my kingdom all men dread and fear the God of Daniel. For he is the living and eternal God for ever: and his kingdom shall not be destroyed, and his power shall be for ever.

drb@Daniel:7:1 @In the first year of Baltasar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream: and the vision of his head was upon his bed: and writing the dream, he comprehended it in few words: and relating the sum of it in short, he said:

drb@Daniel:7:7 @After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with its feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.

drb@Daniel:7:8 @I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.

drb@Daniel:7:14 @And he gave him power, and glory, and a kingdom: and all peoples, tribes and tongues shall serve him: his power is an everlasting power that shall not be taken away: and his kingdom that shall not be destroyed.

drb@Daniel:7:17 @These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.

drb@Daniel:7:18 @But the saints of the most high God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the kingdom for ever and ever.

drb@Daniel:7:20 @And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.

drb@Daniel:7:22 @Till the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the saints of the most High, and the time came, and the saints obtained the kingdom.

drb@Daniel:7:23 @And thus he said: The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

drb@Daniel:7:24 @And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings.

drb@Daniel:7:27 @And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the most High: whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings shall serve him, and shall obey him.

drb@Daniel:8:1 @In the third year of the reign of king Baltasar, a vision appeared to me. I Daniel, after what I had seen in the beginning,

drb@Daniel:8:13 @And I heard one of the saints speaking, and one saint said to another, I know not to whom that was speaking: How long shall be the vision, concerning the continual sacrifice, and the sin of the desolation that is made: and the sanctuary, and the strength be trodden under foot?

drb@Daniel:8:20 @The ram, which thou sawest with horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians.

drb@Matthew:18:3 @And said: Amen I say to you, unless you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

drb@Matthew:18:4 @Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, he is the greater in the kingdom of heaven.

drb@Matthew:18:23 @Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a king, who would take an account of his servants.

drb@Matthew:19:12 @For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.

drb@Matthew:19:14 @But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.

drb@Matthew:19:23 @Then Jesus said to his disciples: Amen, I say to you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

drb@Matthew:19:24 @And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.

drb@Matthew:20:1 @The kingdom of heaven is like to an householder, who went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

drb@Matthew:20:20 @Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.

drb@Matthew:20:21 @Who said to her: What wilt thou? She saith to him: Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

drb@Matthew:21:5 @Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.

drb@Matthew:21:31 @Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.

drb@Matthew:21:39 @And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.

drb@Matthew:21:43 @Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.

drb@Matthew:21:46 @And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.

drb@Matthew:22:2 @The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king, who made a marriage for his son.

drb@Matthew:22:7 @But when the king had heard of it, he was angry, and sending his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and burnt their city.

drb@Matthew:22:11 @And the king went in to see the guests: and he saw there a man who had not on a wedding garment.

drb@Matthew:22:13 @Then the king said to the waiters: Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

drb@Matthew:22:35 @And one of them, a doctor of the law, asking him, tempting him:

drb@Matthew:23:13 @But woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you shut the kingdom of heaven against men, for you yourselves do not enter in; and those that are going in, you suffer not to enter.

drb@Matthew:24:7 @For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places:

drb@Matthew:24:14 @And this gospel of the kingdom, shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come.

drb@Matthew:24:38 @For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even till that day in which Noe entered into the ark,

drb@Matthew:25:1 @Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like to ten virgins, who taking their lamps went out to meet the bridegroom and the bride.

drb@Matthew:25:34 @Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

drb@Matthew:25:40 @And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

drb@Matthew:26:27 @And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.

drb@Matthew:26:29 @And I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father.

drb@Matthew:26:37 @And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.

drb@Matthew:26:51 @And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

drb@Matthew:27:11 @And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus saith to him: Thou sayest it.

drb@Matthew:27:24 @And Pilate seeing that he prevailed nothing, but that rather a tumult was made; taking water washed his hands before the people, saying: I am innocent of the blood of this just man; look you to it.

drb@Matthew:27:27 @Then the soldiers of the governor taking Jesus into the hall, gathered together unto him the whole band;

drb@Matthew:27:29 @And platting a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand. And bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying: Hail, king of the Jews.

drb@Matthew:27:37 @And they put over his head his cause written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

drb@Matthew:27:41 @In like manner also the chief priests, with the scribes and ancients, mocking, said:

drb@Matthew:27:42 @He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the king of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

drb@Matthew:27:59 @And Joseph taking the body, wrapped it up in a clean linen cloth.

drb@Matthew:28:12 @And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,

drb@Matthew:28:15 @So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day

drb@Mark:1:14 @And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

drb@Mark:1:15 @And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.

drb@Mark:1:31 @And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

drb@Mark:2:6 @And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:

drb@Mark:2:12 @And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.

drb@Mark:3:5 @And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him.

drb@Mark:3:24 @And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

drb@Mark:3:34 @And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.

drb@Mark:4:11 @And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables:

drb@Mark:4:26 @And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the earth,

drb@Mark:4:30 @And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what parable shall we compare it?

drb@Mark:5:35 @While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble the master any further?

drb@Mark:5:41 @And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise.

drb@Mark:6:14 @And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he said: John the Baptist is risen again from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him

drb@Mark:6:22 @And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

drb@Mark:6:23 @And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.

drb@Mark:6:25 @And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.

drb@Mark:6:26 @And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her:

drb@Mark:6:33 @And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither on foot from all the cities, and were there before them.

drb@Mark:6:41 @And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.

drb@Mark:6:48 @And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.

drb@Mark:6:49 @But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.

drb@Mark:7:13 @Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have given forth. And many other such like things you do.

drb@Mark:7:33 @And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, he touched his tongue:

drb@Mark:7:34 @And looking up to heaven, he groaned, and said to him: Ephpheta, which is, Be thou opened.

drb@Mark:8:6 @And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.

drb@Mark:8:11 @And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

drb@Mark:8:23 @And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.

drb@Mark:8:24 @And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.

drb@Mark:8:32 @And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.

drb@Mark:8:39 @And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.

drb@Mark:9:3 @And there appeared to them Elias with Moses; and they were talking with Jesus.

drb@Mark:9:7 @And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus only with them.

drb@Mark:9:26 @But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.

drb@Mark:9:35 @And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

drb@Mark:9:46 @And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:

drb@Mark:10:14 @Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.

drb@Mark:10:15 @Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

drb@Mark:10:21 @And Jesus looking on him, loved him, and said to him: One thing is wanting unto thee: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.

drb@Mark:10:23 @And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly shall they that have riches, enter into the kingdom of God!

drb@Mark:10:24 @And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?

drb@Mark:10:25 @It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

drb@Mark:10:27 @And Jesus looking on them, saith: With men it is impossible; but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

drb@Mark:10:32 @And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went before them, and they were astonished; and following were afraid. And taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should befall him.

drb@Mark:11:10 @Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna in the highest.

drb@Mark:11:27 @And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients,

drb@Mark:12:34 @And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

drb@Mark:13:8 @For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.

drb@Mark:13:9 @But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

drb@Mark:14:3 @And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of precious spikenard: and breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out upon his head.

drb@Mark:14:25 @Amen I say to you, that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.

drb@Mark:14:43 @And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

drb@Mark:14:67 @And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

drb@Mark:15:2 @And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it.

drb@Mark:15:9 @And Pilate answered them, and said: Will you that I release to you the king of the Jews?

drb@Mark:15:12 @And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then that I do to the king of the Jews?

drb@Mark:15:18 @And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews.

drb@Mark:15:26 @And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

drb@Mark:15:31 @In like manner also the chief priests mocking, said with the scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save.

drb@Mark:15:32 @Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

drb@Mark:15:40 @And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joseph, and Salome:

drb@Mark:15:43 @Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

drb@Mark:15:46 @And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre.

drb@Mark:16:4 @And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great.

drb@Mark:16:12 @And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.

drb@Mark:16:20 @But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.

drb@Luke:1:5 @There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.

drb@Luke:1:6 @And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.

drb@Luke:1:33 @And of his kingdom there shall be no end.

drb@Luke:2:44 @And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance.

drb@Luke:2:45 @And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him.

drb@Luke:2:46 @And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions.

drb@Luke:3:15 @And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;

drb@Luke:4:5 @And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;

drb@Luke:4:41 @And devils went out from many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And rebuking them he suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ.

drb@Luke:4:43 @To whom he said: To other cities also I must preach the kingdom of God: for therefore am I sent.

drb@Luke:5:7 @And they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they were almost sinking.

drb@Luke:5:39 @And no man drinking old, hath presently a mind to new: for he saith, The old is better.

drb@Luke:6:10 @And looking round about on them all, he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored.

drb@Luke:6:20 @And he, lifting up his eyes on his disciples, said: Blessed are ye poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:7:25 @But what went you out to see? a man clothed in soft garments? Behold they that are in costly apparel and live delicately, are in the houses of kings.

drb@Luke:7:28 @For I say to you: Amongst those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet that John the Baptist. But he that is the lesser in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

drb@Luke:7:32 @They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.

drb@Luke:7:33 @For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.

drb@Luke:7:34 @The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.

drb@Luke:8:1 @And it came to pass afterwards, that he travelled through the cities and towns, preaching and evangelizing the kingdom of God; and the twelve with him:

drb@Luke:8:10 @To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.

drb@Luke:8:29 @For he commanded the unclean spirit to go out of the man. For many times it seized him, and he was bound with chains, and kept in fetters; and breaking the bonds, he was driven by the devil into the deserts.

drb@Luke:8:49 @As he was yet speaking, there cometh one to the ruler of the synagogue, saying to him: Thy daughter is dead, trouble him not.

drb@Luke:8:54 @But he taking her by the hand, cried out, saying: Maid, arise.

drb@Luke:9:2 @And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

drb@Luke:9:10 @And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all they had done. And taking them, he went aside into a desert place, apart, which belongeth to Bethsaida.

drb@Luke:9:11 @Which when the people knew, they followed him; and he received them, and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them who had need of healing.

drb@Luke:9:16 @And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed them; and he broke, and distributed to his disciples, to set before the multitude.

drb@Luke:9:27 @But I tell you of a truth: There are some standing here that shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:9:30 @And behold two men were talking with him. And they were Moses and Elias,

drb@Luke:9:32 @But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. And waking, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.

drb@Luke:9:60 @And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:9:62 @Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:10:7 @And in the same house, remain, eating and drinking such things as they have: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Remove not from house to house.

drb@Luke:10:9 @And heal the sick that are therein, and say to them: The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you

drb@Luke:10:11 @Even the very dust of your city that cleaveth to us, we wipe off against you. Yet know this, that the kingdom of God is at hand.

drb@Luke:10:24 @For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them.

drb@Luke:11:2 @And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

drb@Luke:11:8 @Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth.

drb@Luke:11:17 @But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself, shall be brought to desolation, and house upon house shall fall.

drb@Luke:11:18 @And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because you say, that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.

drb@Luke:11:20 @But if I by the finger of God cast out devils; doubtless the kingdom of God is come upon you.

drb@Luke:11:24 @When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through places without water, seeking rest; and not finding, he saith: I will return into my house whence I came out.

drb@Luke:11:37 @And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee prayed him, that he would dine with him. And he going in, sat down to eat.

drb@Luke:11:38 @And the Pharisee began to say, thinking within himself, why he was not washed before dinner.

drb@Luke:11:54 @Lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.

drb@Luke:12:25 @And which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?

drb@Luke:12:31 @But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.

drb@Luke:12:32 @Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.

drb@Luke:13:6 @He spoke also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

drb@Luke:13:7 @And he said to the dresser of the vineyard: Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it done therefore: why cumbereth it the ground?

drb@Luke:13:18 @He said therefore: To what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it?

drb@Luke:13:20 @And again he said: Whereunto shall I esteem the kingdom of God to be like?

drb@Luke:13:22 @And he went through the cities and towns teaching, and making his journey to Jerusalem.

drb@Luke:13:28 @There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

drb@Luke:13:29 @And there shall come from the east and the west, and the north and the south; and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:14:4 @But they held their peace. But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away.

drb@Luke:14:7 @And he spoke a parable also to them that were invited, marking how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:

drb@Luke:14:15 @When one of them that sat at table with him, had heard these things, he said to him: Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:14:31 @Or what king, about to go to make war against another king, doth not first sit down, and think whether he be able, with ten thousand, to meet him that, with twenty thousand, cometh against him?

drb@Luke:16:16 @The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.

drb@Luke:17:20 @And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

drb@Luke:17:21 @Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.

drb@Luke:18:16 @But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:18:17 @Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.

drb@Luke:18:24 @And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:18:25 @For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

drb@Luke:18:29 @Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

drb@Luke:19:5 @And when Jesus was come to the place, looking up, he saw him, and said to him: Zacheus, make haste and come down; for this day I must abide in thy house.

drb@Luke:19:11 @As they were hearing these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.

drb@Luke:19:12 @He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

drb@Luke:19:15 @And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

drb@Luke:19:22 @He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:

drb@Luke:19:38 @Saying: Blessed be the king who cometh in the name of the Lord, peace in heaven, and glory on high!

drb@Luke:20:17 @But he looking on them, said: What is this then that is written, The stone, which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

drb@Luke:21:1 @And looking on, he saw the rich men cast their gifts into the treasury.

drb@Luke:21:10 @Then he said to them: Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

drb@Luke:21:12 @But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and into prisons, dragging you before kings and governors, for my name's sake.

drb@Luke:21:31 @So you also, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that the kingdom of God is at hand.

drb@Luke:22:16 @For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God

drb@Luke:22:18 @For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.

drb@Luke:22:19 @And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.

drb@Luke:22:25 @And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.

drb@Luke:22:29 @And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;

drb@Luke:22:47 @As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.

drb@Luke:22:60 @And Peter said: Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, as he was yet speaking, the cock crew.

drb@Luke:23:2 @And they began to accuse him, saying: We have found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he is Christ the king.

drb@Luke:23:3 @And Pilate asked him, saying: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he answering, said: Thou sayest it.

drb@Luke:23:38 @And there was also a superscription written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

drb@Luke:23:42 @And he said to Jesus: Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

drb@Luke:24:35 @And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.

drb@Luke:24:36 @Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.

drb@Luke:24:43 @And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.

drb@John:1:36 @And beholding Jesus walking, he saith: Behold the Lamb of God.

drb@John:1:42 @And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looking upon him, said: Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is interpreted Peter.

drb@John:1:49 @Nathanael answered him, and said: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the King of Israel.

drb@John:3:3 @Jesus answered, and said to him: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

drb@John:3:5 @Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

drb@John:4:25 @Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

drb@John:5:18 @Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

drb@John:6:15 @Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.

drb@John:6:19 @When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.

drb@John:18:33 @Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?

drb@John:18:36 @Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.

drb@John:18:37 @Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.

drb@John:18:39 @But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?

drb@John:19:3 @And they came to him, and said: Hail, king of the Jews; and they gave him blows.

drb@John:19:12 @And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh against Caesar.

drb@John:19:14 @And it was the parasceve of the pasch, about the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews: Behold your king.

drb@John:19:15 @But they cried out: Away with him; away with him; crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.

drb@John:19:19 @And Pilate wrote a title also, and he put it upon the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

drb@John:19:21 @Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate: Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am the King of the Jews.

drb@Acts:3:8 @And he leaping up, stood, and walked, and went in with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

drb@Acts:3:9 @And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

drb@Acts:4:1 @And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

drb@Acts:4:26 @The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.

drb@Acts:6:15 @And all that sat in the council, looking on him, saw his face as if it had been the face of an angel.

drb@Acts:7:10 @And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.

drb@Acts:7:18 @Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

drb@Acts:7:24 @And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.

drb@Acts:7:44 @The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen.

drb@Acts:10:19 @And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.

drb@Acts:10:27 @And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.

drb@Acts:10:29 @For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?

drb@Acts:10:44 @While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.

drb@Acts:10:46 @For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.

drb@Acts:11:6 @Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:

drb@Acts:11:19 @Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.

drb@Acts:12:1 @And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.

drb@Acts:12:7 @And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.

drb@Acts:12:16 @But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.

drb@Acts:12:20 @And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king's chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.

drb@Acts:13:16 @Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.

drb@Acts:13:21 @And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.

drb@Acts:13:29 @And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.

drb@Acts:13:43 @And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

drb@Acts:13:51 @But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.

drb@Acts:14:8 @This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,

drb@Acts:14:17 @And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them

drb@Acts:15:39 @And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.

drb@Acts:16:3 @Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.

drb@Acts:16:27 @And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

drb@Acts:18:18 @But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae: for he had a vow.

drb@Acts:18:21 @But taking his leave, and saying: I will return to you again, God willing, he departed from Ephesus.

drb@Acts:19:8 @And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.

drb@Acts:19:9 @But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.

drb@Acts:20:11 @Then going up, and breaking bread and tasting, and having talked a long time to them, until daylight, so he departed.

drb@Acts:21:32 @Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating Paul.

drb@Acts:22:16 @And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name

drb@Acts:23:1 @And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.

drb@Acts:23:19 @And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?

drb@Acts:25:26 @Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.

drb@Acts:26:2 @I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews.

drb@Acts:26:7 @Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.

drb@Acts:26:13 @At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.

drb@Acts:26:14 @And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.

drb@Acts:26:19 @Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:

drb@Acts:26:26 @For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.

drb@Acts:26:27 @Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.

drb@Acts:26:30 @And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.

drb@Acts:27:35 @And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

drb@Acts:28:23 @And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.

drb@B732:34 @And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.

drb@B732:48 @And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner.

drb@B732:57 @David by his mercy obtained the throne of an everlasting kingdom.

drb@B733:7 @And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever.

drb@B733:14 @And he said: I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king.

drb@B733:23 @And as soon as he had made an end of speaking, he rushed suddenly upon them: and Seron and his host were overthrown before him:

drb@B733:26 @And his fame came to the king, and all nations told of the battles of Judas.

drb@B733:27 @Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army.

drb@B733:30 @And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough, for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him.

drb@B733:32 @And he left Lysias, a nobleman of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the kingdom, from the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt:

drb@B733:37 @So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries.

drb@B733:38 @Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenus, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends.

drb@B733:39 @And he sent with them forty thousand men, and seven thousand horsemen: to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it according to the king's orders.

drb@B733:42 @And Judas and his brethren saw that evils were multiplied, and that the armies approached to their borders: and they knew the orders the king had given to destroy the people and utterly abolish them.

drb@B734:3 @And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus.

drb@B734:19 @And as Judas was speaking these words, behold part of them appeared looking forth from the mountain.

drb@B734:27 @And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded.

drb@B735:61 @Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.

drb@B736:1 @Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he heard that the city of Elymais in Persia was greatly renowned, and abounding in silver and gold.

drb@B736:2 @And that there was in it a temple, exceeding rich: and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields which king Alexander, son of Philip the Macedonian that reigned first in Greece, had left there.

drb@B736:8 @And it came to pass when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined.

drb@B736:14 @Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom

drb@B736:15 @And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom.

drb@B736:16 @So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine.

drb@B736:17 @And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus his son to reign, whom he brought up young: and he called his name Eupator.

drb@B736:18 @Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles.

drb@B736:22 @And they went to the king, and said: How long dost thou delay to execute the judgment, and to revenge our brethren?

drb@B736:28 @Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen.

drb@B736:32 @And Judas departed from the castle, and removed the camp to Bethzacharam, over against the king's camp.

drb@B736:33 @And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets:

drb@B736:40 @And part of the king's army was distinguished by the high mountains, and the other part by the low places: and they marched on warily and orderly.

drb@B736:42 @And Judas and his army drew near for battle: and there fell of the king's army six hundred men.

drb@B736:43 @And Eleazar the son of Saura saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts: and it seemed to him that the king was on it:

drb@B736:47 @Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them.

drb@B736:48 @But the king's army went up against them to Jerusalem: and the king's army pitched their tents against Judea and mount Sion.

drb@B736:50 @And the king took Bethsura: and he placed there a garrison to keep it.

drb@B736:55 @Now Lysias heard that Philip, whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, and to reign, to be king,

drb@B736:56 @Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him, and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom:

drb@B736:57 @Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom.

drb@B736:60 @And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it.

drb@B736:61 @And the king and the princes swore to them: and they came out of the stronghold.

drb@B736:62 @Then the king entered into mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about.

drb@B737:2 @And it came to pass, as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, that the army seized upon Antiochus, and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

drb@B737:4 @So the army slew them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom:

drb@B737:6 @And they accused the people to the king, saying: Judas and his brethren have destroyed all thy friends, and he hath driven us out of our land.

drb@B737:7 @Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go, and see all the havock he hath made amongst us, and in the king's lands: and let him punish all his friends and their helpers.

drb@B737:8 @Then the king chose Bacchides, one of his friends that ruled beyond the great river in the kingdom, and was faithful to the king: and he sent him,

drb@B737:20 @Then he committed the country to Alcimus, and left with him troops to help him. So Bacchides went away to the king:

drb@B737:25 @And Alcimus saw that Judas, and they that were with him prevailed: and he knew that he could not stand against them, and he went back to the king, and accused them of many crimes.

drb@B737:26 @And the king sent Nicanor one of his principal lords, who was a great enemy to Israel: and he commanded him to destroy the people.

drb@B737:33 @And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king.

drb@B737:41 @O Lord, when they that were sent by king Sennacherib blasphemed thee, an angel went out, and slew of them a hundred and eighty-five thousand:

drb@B738:4 @And had conquered places that were very far off from them, and kings that came against them from the ends of the earth, and had overthrown them with great slaughter: and the rest pay them tribute every year.

drb@B738:5 @And that they had defeated in battle Philip, and Perses the king of the Ceteans, and the rest that had borne arms against them, and had conquered them:

drb@B738:6 @And how Antiochus the great king of Asia, who went to fight against them, having a hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was routed by them:

drb@B738:8 @And the country of the Indians, and of the Medes, and of the Lydians, some of their best provinces: and those which they had taken from them they gave to king Eumenes.

drb@B738:11 @And the other kingdoms, and islands, that at any time had resisted them, they had destroyed and brought under their power.

drb@B738:12 @But with their friends, and such as relied upon them, they kept amity, and had conquered kingdoms that were near, and that were far off: for all that heard their name, were afraid of them.

drb@B738:13 @That whom they had a mind to help to a kingdom, those reigned: and whom they would, they deposed from a kingdom: and they were greatly exalted.

drb@B738:18 @And that they might take off from them the yoke of the Grecians, for they saw that they oppressed the kingdom of Israel with servitude

drb@B738:26 @Neither shall they give them, whilst they are fighting, or furnish them with wheat, or arms, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans: and they shall obey their orders, without taking any thing of them.

drb@B738:31 @Moreover concerning the evils that Demetrius the king hath done against them, we have written to him, saying: Why hast thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends, and allies, the Jews?

drb@B739:57 @And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.

drb@B7310:2 @And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.

drb@B7310:8 @And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.

drb@B7310:15 @And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.

drb@B7310:18 @King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.

drb@B7310:20 @Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.

drb@B7310:25 @And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

drb@B7310:33 @And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.

drb@B7310:34 @And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:

drb@B7310:36 @And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:

drb@B7310:37 @And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.

drb@B7310:40 @And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:

drb@B7310:43 @And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.

drb@B7310:44 @For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:

drb@B7310:45 @For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.

drb@B7310:48 @And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.

drb@B7310:49 @And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.

drb@B7310:51 @And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:

drb@B7310:52 @Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,

drb@B7310:53 @And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:

drb@B7310:55 @And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.

drb@B7310:58 @And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.

drb@B7310:59 @And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.

drb@B7310:60 @And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.

drb@B7310:61 @And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.

drb@B7310:62 @And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.

drb@B7310:65 @And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.

drb@B7310:68 @And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.

drb@B7310:69 @And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,

drb@B7310:78 @And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.

drb@B7310:88 @And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.

drb@B7311:1 @And the king of Egypt gathered together an army, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships: and he sought to get the kingdom of Alexander by deceit, and join it to his own kingdom.

drb@B7311:2 @And he went out into Syria with peaceable words, and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law.

drb@B7311:5 @And they told the king that Jonathan had done these things, to make him odious: but the king held his peace.

drb@B7311:6 @And Jonathan came to meet the king at Joppe with glory, and they saluted one another, and they lodged there.

drb@B7311:7 @And Jonathan went with the king as far as the river, called Eleutherus: and he returned into Jerusalem.

drb@B7311:8 @And king Ptolemee got the dominion of the cities by the sea side, even to Seleucia, and he devised evil designs against Alexander.

drb@B7311:9 @And he sent ambassadors to Demetrius, saying: Come, let us make a league between us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in the kingdom of thy father.

drb@B7311:11 @And he slandered him, because he coveted his kingdom

drb@B7311:14 @Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled.

drb@B7311:15 @And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle, and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight.

drb@B7311:16 @And Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be protected: and king Ptolemee was exalted.

drb@B7311:18 @And king Ptolemee died the third day after: and they that were in the strong holds were destroyed by them that were within the camp.

drb@B7311:21 @Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.

drb@B7311:24 @And he took gold, and silver, and raiment, and many other presents, and went to the king to Ptolemais, and he found favour in his sight.

drb@B7311:26 @And the king treated him as his predecessor had done before: and he exalted him in the sight of all his friends.

drb@B7311:28 @And Jonathan requested of the king that he would make Judea free from tribute, and the three governments, and Samaria, and the confines thereof: and he promised him three hundred talents.

drb@B7311:29 @And the king consented: and he wrote letters to Jonathan of all these things to this effect.

drb@B7311:30 @King Demetrius to his brother Jonathan, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

drb@B7311:32 @King Demetrius to Lasthenes his parent, greeting.

drb@B7311:34 @We have ratified therefore unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.

drb@B7311:38 @And king Demetrius seeing that the land was quiet before him, and nothing resisted him, sent away all his forces, every man to his own place, except the foreign army, which he had drawn together from the islands of the nations: so all the troops of his fathers hated him.

drb@B7311:40 @And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days.

drb@B7311:41 @And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.

drb@B7311:44 @And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.

drb@B7311:45 @And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.

drb@B7311:46 @And the king fled into the palace, and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.

drb@B7311:47 @And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city.

drb@B7311:48 @And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.

drb@B7311:49 @And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:

drb@B7311:51 @And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.

drb@B7311:52 @So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him.

drb@B7311:54 @And after this Tryphon returned, and with him Antiochus the young boy, who was made king, and put on the diadem.

drb@B7311:57 @And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends.

drb@B7311:63 @And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom:

drb@B7312:13 @But we have had many troubles and wars on every side, and the kings that are round about us, have fought against us

drb@B7312:20 @Arius king of the Spartans to Onias the high priest, greeting.

drb@B7312:39 @Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia, and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus:

drb@B7313:15 @Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of

drb@B7313:31 @But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.

drb@B7313:34 @And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.

drb@B7313:35 @And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner:

drb@B7313:36 @King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

drb@B7313:37 @The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.

drb@B7314:1 @In the year one hundred and seventy-two, king Demetrius assembled has army, and went into Media to get him succours to fight against Tryphon.

drb@B7314:2 @And Arsaces the king of Persia and Media heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, and he sent one of his princes to take him alive, and bring him to him.

drb@B7314:13 @There was none left in the land to fight against them: kings were discomfited in those days.

drb@B7314:38 @And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood.

drb@B7315:1 @And king Antiochus the son of Demetrius sent letters from the isles of the sea to Simon the priest, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and to all the people:

drb@B7315:2 @And the contents were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.

drb@B7315:3 @Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge the kingdom, and to restore it to its former estate: and I have chosen a great army, and have built ships of war.

drb@B7315:5 @Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which all the kings before me remitted to thee, and what other gifts soever they remitted to thee:

drb@B7315:8 @And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee.

drb@B7315:9 @And when we shall have recovered our kingdom, we will glorify thee, and thy nation, and the temple with great glory, so that your glory shall be made manifest in all the earth.

drb@B7315:11 @And king Antiochus pursued after him, and he fled along by the sea coast and came to Dora.

drb@B7315:15 @And Numenius, and they that had been with him, came from the city of Rome, having letters written to the kings, and countries, the contents whereof were these:

drb@B7315:16 @Lucius the consul of the Romans, to king Ptolemee, greeting.

drb@B7315:19 @It hath seemed good therefore to us to write to the kings, and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries: and that they should give no aid to them that fight against them

drb@B7315:22 @These same things were written to king Demetrius, and to Attalus, and to Ariarathes, and to Arsaces,

drb@B7315:25 @But king Antiochus moved his camp to Dora the second time, assaulting it continually, and making engines: and shut up Tryphon, that he could not go out.

drb@B7315:28 @And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:

drb@B7315:29 @Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.

drb@B7315:32 @So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem, and saw the glory of Simon and his magnificence in gold, and silver, and his great equipage, and he was astonished, and told him the king's words.

drb@B7315:36 @But returning in a rage to the king, made report to him of these words, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen, and the king was exceeding angry.

drb@B7315:38 @And the king appointed Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an army of footmen and horsemen.

drb@B7315:39 @And he commanded him to march with his army towards Judea: and he commanded him to build up Gedor, and to fortify the gates of the city, and to war against the people. But the king himself pursued after Tryphon.

drb@B7315:41 @And he placed there horsemen, and an army: that they might issue forth, and make incursions upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.

drb@B7316:14 @Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath.

drb@B7316:18 @And Ptolemee wrote these things and sent to the king that he should send him an army to aid him, and he would deliver him the country, and their cities, and tributes.

drb@B741:7 @When Demetrius reigned, in the year one hundred and sixty-nine, we Jews wrote to you, in the trouble, and violence, that came upon us in those years, after Jason withdrew himself from the holy land, and from the kingdom.

drb@B741:10 @In the year Bone hundred and eighty- eight, the people that is at Jerusalem, and in Judea, and the senate, and Judas, to Aristobolus, the preceptor of king Ptolemee, who is of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that are in Egypt, health and welfare.

drb@B741:11 @Having been delivered by God out of great dangers, we give him great thanks, forasmuch as we have been in war with such a king.

drb@B741:20 @But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water.

drb@B741:24 @And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: 0 Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the goad king,

drb@B741:33 @And when this matter became public, it was told to the king of Persia, that in the place where the priests that were led away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, with which Nehemias and they that were with him had purified the sacrifices.

drb@B741:34 @And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened.

drb@B742:13 @And these same things were set down in the memoirs and commentaries of Nehemias: and how he made a library, and gathered together out of the countries, the books both of the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings. and concerning the holy gifts.

drb@B742:17 @And we hope that God who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,

drb@B742:27 @And as to ourselves indeed, in under- taking this work of abridging, we have taken in hand no easy task, yea rather a business full of watching and sweat.

drb@B743:2 @It came to pass that even the kings themselves, and the princes esteemed the place worthy of the highest honour, and glorified the temple with very great gifts:

drb@B743:3 @So that Seleucus king of Asia allowed out of his revenues all the charges be- longing to the ministry of the sacrifices.

drb@B743:6 @And told him, that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of immense sums of money, and the common store was infinite, which did not belong to the account of the sacrifices: and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hands.

drb@B743:7 @Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money.

drb@B743:8 @So Heliodorus forthwith began his journey, under a colour of visiting the cities of Celesyria and Phenicia, but in- deed to fulfil the king's purpose.

drb@B743:13 @But he, by reason of the orders he had received from the king, said that by:all means the money must be carried to the king.

drb@B743:18 @Others also came hocking together out of their houses, praying and making public supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

drb@B743:32 @So the high priest considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man.

drb@B743:35 @So Heliodorus after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king.

drb@B743:37 @And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said:

drb@B743:38 @If thou hast any enemy or traitor to thy kingdom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God.

drb@B744:2 @And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and wed zealous for the law of God.

drb@B744:4 @Onias considering the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, who was the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, was outrageous, which increased the malice of Simon, went to the king,

drb@B744:6 @For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly.

drb@B744:7 @But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, who was called the Illustrious, had taken possession of the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias ambitiously sought the high priesthood:

drb@B744:8 @And went to the king, promising him three hundred and sixty talents of silver, and out of other revenues four- score talents.

drb@B744:10 @Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten the rule into his hands, forthwith he began to bring over his countrymen to the fashion of the heathens

drb@B744:11 @And abolishing those things, which had been decreed of special favour by the kings in behalf of the Jews, by the means of John the father of that Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome to make amity and alliance, he disannulled the lawful ordinances of the citizens, and brought in fashions that were perverse.

drb@B744:18 @Now when the game that was used every fifth year was kept at Tyre, the king being present,

drb@B744:20 @So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys.

drb@B744:21 @Now when Apollonius the son of Mnestheus was sent into Egypt to treat with the nobles of king Philometor, and Antiochus understood that he was wholly excluded from the affairs of the kingdom, consulting his own interest, he departed thence and came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerusalem:

drb@B744:23 @Three years afterwards Jason sent Menelaus, brother of the aforesaid Simon, to carry money to the king, and to bring answers from him concerning certain necessary affairs.

drb@B744:24 @But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.

drb@B744:25 @So having received the king's man- date, he returned bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood: but having the mind of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.

drb@B744:27 @So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king he took no care, when Sostratus the governor of the castle called for

drb@B744:28 @For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king.

drb@B744:30 @When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus and Mallos raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochis, the king's concubine.

drb@B744:31 @The king therefore went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy.

drb@B744:36 @And when the king was come back from the places of Cilicia, the Jews that were at Antioch, and also the Creaks went to him: complaining of the unjust murder of Onias.

drb@B744:40 @Wherefore the multitude making an insurrection, and their minds being filled with anger, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began to use violence, one Tyrannus being captain, a man far gone both in age, and in madness.

drb@B744:44 @And when the king was come to Tyre, three men were sent from the ancients to plead the cause before him.

drb@B744:45 @But Menelaus being convicted, promised Ptolemee to give him much money to persuade the king to favour him.

drb@B744:46 @So Ptolemee went to the king in a certain court where he was, as it were to cool himself, and brought him to be of another mind:

drb@B745:3 @And horses set in order by ranks, running one against another, with the shakings of shields, and a multitude of men in helmets, with drawn swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden armour, and of harnesses of all sorts.

drb@B745:5 @Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason taking with him no fewer than a thousand men, suddenly assaulted the city: and though the citizens ran together to the wall, the city at length was taken, and Menelaus fled into the castle.

drb@B745:6 @But Jason slew his countrymen without mercy, not considering that prosperity against one's own kindred is a very great evil, thinking they had been enemies, and not citizens, whom he conquered.

drb@B745:8 @At the last having been shut up by Aretas the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws, and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt:

drb@B745:11 @Now when these things were done, the king suspected that the Jews would forsake the alliance: whereupon departing out of Egypt with a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms.

drb@B745:16 @And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them.

drb@B745:18 @Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob treasury, so this man also, as soon as had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption.

drb@B745:21 @So when Antiochus had taken away out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he went back in all haste to Antioch, thinking through pride, that he might now make the land navigable, and the sea passable on foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.

drb@B746:1 @But not long after the king sent a certain old man of Antioch, to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers and of God:

drb@B746:7 @But they were led by bitter constraint on the king's birthday to the sacrifices: and when the feast of Bacchus was kept, they wore compelled to go about crowned with ivy in honour of Bacchus.

drb@B746:21 @But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought, which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded of the flesh of the sacrifice:

drb@B747:1 @To came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges.

drb@B747:4 @Then the king being angry commanded fryingpans, and brazen caldrons to be made hot: which forthwith being heated,

drb@B747:5 @He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren, and his mother, looking on.

drb@B747:8 @So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a, mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb.

drb@B747:10 @And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life.

drb@B747:11 @After him the third was made a mocking stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands:

drb@B747:13 @So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing.

drb@B747:16 @And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he looking upon the king,

drb@B747:25 @Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary.

drb@B747:26 @But when the young man was not moved with these things, the king called the mother, and counselled her to deal with the young man to save his life.

drb@B747:28 @So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said her own language: My son, have pi upon me, that bore thee nine months my womb, and save thee suck years, and nourished thee, and b thee up unto this age.

drb@B747:31 @While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said: For whom do you stay? I will not obey the commandment of the king, but the commandment of the law, which was given us by Moses.

drb@B747:40 @Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked.

drb@B748:1 @But Judas Machabeus, and they that were with him, went privately into the towns: and calling together their kinsmen and friends, and taking unto them such as continued in the Jews' religion, they assembled six thousand men.

drb@B748:6 @So coming unawares upon the towns and cities, he set them on fire, and taking possession of the most commodious places, he made no small slaughter of the enemies �

drb@B748:8 @Then Philip, seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs.

drb@B748:10 @And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews:

drb@B749:19 @To his very good subjects the Jews, Antiochus king and ruler wisheth much health and welfare, and happiness.

drb@B749:25 @Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes and borderers wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below.

drb@B7410:3 @And having purified the temple, they made another altar: and taking fire out of the fiery stones, they offered sacrifices after two years, and set forth incense, and lamps, and the leaves of proposition.

drb@B7410:14 @But Gorgias, who was governor of the holds, taking with him the strangers, often fought against the Jews.

drb@B7410:20 @Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded For the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape.

drb@B7410:27 @And so after prayer taking their arms, they went forth further from the city, and when they were come very near the enemies they rested.

drb@B7410:28 @But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having with their valour the Lord for a surety o victory and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle.

drb@B7411:1 @A short time after this Lysias the king's lieutenant, and cousin, and who had chief charge over all the affairs, being greatly displeased with what had happened,

drb@B7411:2 @Gathered together fourscore thousand men, and all the horsemen, and came against the Jews, thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles:

drb@B7411:7 @Then Machabeus himself, first taking his arms, exhorted the rest to expose themselves together with him, to the danger, and to succour their brethren.

drb@B7411:8 @And when they were going forth together with a willing mind, there appeared at Jerusatem a horseman going before them in white clothing, with golden armour, shaking a spear.

drb@B7411:14 @And promised that he would agree to all things that are just, and that he would persuade the king to be their friend.

drb@B7411:15 @Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common Food in all things, and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias concerning the Jews, the king allowed of.

drb@B7411:18 @Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted.

drb@B7411:22 @But the king's letter contained these words: King Antiochus to Lysias his brother, greeting.

drb@B7411:27 @But the king's letter to the Jews was in this manner: King Antiochus to the senate of the Jews, and to the rest of the Jews, greeting.

drb@B7411:35 @Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted you, we also have granted.

drb@B7411:36 @But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch.

drb@B7412:1 @When these covenants were made, Lyslas went to the king, and the Jews gave themselves to husbandry.

drb@B7412:12 @And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents.

drb@B7412:42 @And so betaking themselves to prayers, they besought him, that the sin which had been committed might be forgotten. But the most valiant Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forasmuch as they saw before their eyes what had happened, because of the sins of those that were slain.

drb@B7412:43 @And making a gathering, he twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection,

drb@B7413:4 @But the King of kings stirred up the mind of Antiochus against the sinner, and upon Lysias suggesting that he was the cause of all the evils, he commanded (as the custom is with them) that he should be apprehended and put to death in the same place.

drb@B7413:10 @But the king, with his mind full of rage, came on to shew himself worse to the Jews than his father was.

drb@B7413:14 @But he with the ancients determined, before the king should bring his army into Judea, and make himself master of the city, to go out, and to commit the event of the thing to the judgment of the Lord.

drb@B7413:16 @And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him,

drb@B7413:19 @18; But the king having taken

drb@B7413:23 @Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away.

drb@B7413:27 @Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return.

drb@B7414:4 @Came to king Demetrius in the year one hundred and fifty, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and besides these, some boughs which seemed to belong to the temple. And that day indeed he held his peace.

drb@B7414:8 @Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of those men.

drb@B7414:9 @Wherefore, 0 king, seeing thou know- eat all these things, take care, I beseech thee, both of the country, and of our nation, according to thy humanity which is known to all men,

drb@B7414:11 @Now when this man had spoken to this effect, the rest also of the king's friends, who were enemies of Judas, incensed Demetrius against him.

drb@B7414:14 @Then the Gentiles who had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by docks, thinking the miseries and calamities of the Jews to be the welfare of their affairs.

drb@B7414:26 @But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor.

drb@B7414:27 @Then the king being in a rage and provoked with this man's wicked accusations, wrote to Nicanor, signifying, that he was greatly displeased with the covenant of friendship: and that he commanded him nevertheless to send Machabeus prisoner in all haste to Antioch.

drb@B7414:29 @But because he could not oppose the king, he watched an opportunity to comply with the orders.

drb@B7414:43 @But whereas through haste he missed of giving himself a sure wound, and the crowd was breaking into the doors, he ran boldly to the wall, and manfully threw himself down to the crowd:

drb@B7414:44 @But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck.

drb@B7415:5 @Then he said: And I am mighty upon the earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Nevertheless he prevailed not to accomplish his design.

drb@B7415:9 @And speaking to them out of the law, and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles they had fought before, he made them more cheerful:

drb@B7415:22 @And in his prayer he said after this manner: Thou, O Lord, who didst send thy angel in the time of Ezechias king of Juda, and didst kill a hundred and eighty-five thousand of the army of Sennacherib:

drb@B7415:29 @Then making a shout, and a great noise, they blessed the Almighty Lord in their own language.

drb@B791:2 @When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth,

drb@B791:5 @Moreover when all went to the golden calves which Jeroboam king of Israel had made, he alone fled the company of all,

drb@B791:13 @And because he was mindful of the Lord with all his heart, God gave him favour in the sight of Salmanasar the king.

drb@B791:17 @And when amongst a great multitude of his kindred, he saw Gabelus in want, who was one of his tribe, taking a note of his hand he gave him the aforesaid sum of money.

drb@B8613:1 @And this was the copy of the letter: Artaxerxes the great king who reigneth from India to Ethiopia, to the princes and governors of the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, that are subject to his empire, greeting.

drb@B8613:4 @Told me that there was a people scattered through the whole world, which used new laws, and acted against the customs of all nations, despised the commandments of kings, and violated by their opposition the concord of all nations.

drb@B8613:6 @We have commanded that all whom Aman shall mark out, who is chief over all the provinces, and second after the king, and whom we honour as a father, shall be utterly destroyed by their enemies, with their wives and children, and that none shall have pity on them. on the fourteenth day of the twelfth month Adar of this present year:

drb@B8614:12 @Remember, O Lord, and shew thyself to us in the time of our tribulation, and give me boldness, O Lord, king of gods, and of all power:

drb@B8614:17 @And that I have not eaten at Aman's table, nor hath the king's banquet pleased me, and that I have not drunk the wine of the drink offerings:

drb@B8615:1 @And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country.

drb@B8615:3 @And do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king for us, and deliver us from death.
