nasb@Deuteronomy:1:8" @ Thus we took the land at that time from the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of Arnon to Mount Hermon

nasb@Deuteronomy:1:47 @They took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan to the east,

nasb@Deuteronomy:5:7" @There also you and your households shall eat before the LORD your God, and rejoice in all your undertakings in which the LORD your God has blessed you.
nasb@Deuteronomy:5:18" @But you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God will choose, you and your son and daughter, and your male and female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all your undertakings.
nasb@Deuteronomy:6:10" @You shall generously give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings.
nasb@Deuteronomy:14:4" @The LORD will do to them just as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.
nasb@Joshua:1:10" @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.
nasb@Joshua:6:1 @Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,
nasb@Joshua:6:10 @and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan who was at Ashtaroth.
nasb@Joshua:7:5 @So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.
nasb@Joshua:7:6 @Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."
nasb@Joshua:7:16 @Now these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
nasb@Joshua:7:17 @It was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."
nasb@Joshua:7:22 @Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring these five kings out to me from the cave."
nasb@Joshua:7:23 @They did so, and brought these five kings out to him from the cave- the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
nasb@Joshua:7:24 @When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
nasb@Joshua:7:40 @Thus Joshua struck all the land, the hill country and the Negev and the lowland and the slopes and all their kings. He left no survivor, but he utterly destroyed all who breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
nasb@Joshua:7:42 @Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
nasb@Joshua:8:2 @and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the Arabah--south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and on the heights of Dor on the west--
nasb@Joshua:8:5 @So all of these kings having agreed to meet, came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
nasb@Joshua:8:12 @Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

nasb@Joshua:8:18 @Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings.
nasb@Joshua:9:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east-
nasb@Joshua:9:7 @Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,
nasb@Joshua:9:24 @the king of Tirzah, one- in all, thirty-one kings.
nasb@Joshua:19:12 @'Then I sent the hornet before you and it drove out the two kings of the Amorites from before you, but not by your sword or your bow.
nasb@Judges:1:7 @Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to gather up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." So they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.

nasb@Judges:4:19" @ The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo; They took no plunder in silver.
nasb@Judges:7:5 @He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."

nasb@Judges:7:26 @The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the neck bands that were on their camels' necks.
nasb@1Samuel:12:47 @Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.
nasb@1Samuel:24:6 @So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
nasb@2Samuel:9:19 @When all the kings, servants of Hadadezer, saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
nasb@2Samuel:10:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.
nasb@1Kings:1:1 @Now King David was old, advanced in age; and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm.
nasb@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."
nasb@1Kings:1:3 @So they searched for a beautiful girl throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
nasb@1Kings:1:4 @The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king did not cohabit with her.
nasb@1Kings:1:5 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, "I will be king." So he prepared for himself chariots and horsemen with fifty men to run before him.
nasb@1Kings:1:6 @His father had never crossed him at any time by asking, "Why have you done so?" And he was also a very handsome man, and he was born after Absalom.
nasb@1Kings:1:7 @He had conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest; and following Adonijah they helped him.
nasb@1Kings:1:8 @But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
nasb@1Kings:1:9 @Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.
nasb@1Kings:1:10 @But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.
nasb@1Kings:1:11 @Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?
nasb@1Kings:1:12" @So now come, please let me give you counsel and save your life and the life of your son Solomon.
nasb@1Kings:1:13" @Go at once to King David and say to him, 'Have you not, my lord, O king, sworn to your maidservant, saying, " Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'
nasb@1Kings:1:14" @Behold, while you are still there speaking with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words."
nasb@1Kings:1:15 @So Bathsheba went in to the king in the bedroom. Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.
nasb@1Kings:1:16 @Then Bathsheba bowed and prostrated herself before the king. And the king said, "What do you wish?"
nasb@1Kings:1:17 @She said to him, "My lord, you swore to your maidservant by the LORD your God, saying, ' Surely your son Solomon shall be king after me and he shall sit on my throne.'
nasb@1Kings:1:18" @Now, behold, Adonijah is king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know it.
nasb@1Kings:1:19" @ He has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the sons of the king and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander of the army, but he has not invited Solomon your servant.
nasb@1Kings:1:20" @As for you now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, to tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
nasb@1Kings:1:21" @Otherwise it will come about, as soon as my lord the king sleeps with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be considered offenders."
nasb@1Kings:1:22 @Behold, while she was still speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
nasb@1Kings:1:23 @They told the king, saying, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground.
nasb@1Kings:1:24 @Then Nathan said, "My lord the king, have you said, 'Adonijah shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne'?
nasb@1Kings:1:25" @ For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has invited all the king's sons and the commanders of the army and Abiathar the priest, and behold, they are eating and drinking before him; and they say, ' Long live King Adonijah!'
nasb@1Kings:1:26" @ But me, even me your servant, and Zadok the priest and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and your servant Solomon, he has not invited.
nasb@1Kings:1:27" @Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not shown to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?"
nasb@1Kings:1:28 @Then King David said, "Call Bathsheba to me." And she came into the king's presence and stood before the king.
nasb@1Kings:1:29 @The king vowed and said, " As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
nasb@1Kings:1:30 @surely as I vowed to you by the LORD the God of Israel, saying, 'Your son Solomon shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place'; I will indeed do so this day."
nasb@1Kings:1:31 @Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the ground, and prostrated herself before the king and said, " May my lord King David live forever."
nasb@1Kings:1:32 @Then King David said, "Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada." And they came into the king's presence.
nasb@1Kings:1:33 @The king said to them, "Take with you the servants of your lord, and have my son Solomon ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.
nasb@1Kings:1:34" @Let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there as king over Israel, and blow the trumpet and say, ' Long live King Solomon!'
nasb@1Kings:1:35" @Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne and be king in my place; for I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah."
nasb@1Kings:1:36 @Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, "Amen! Thus may the LORD, the God of my lord the king, say.
nasb@1Kings:1:37" @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David!"
nasb@1Kings:1:38 @So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
nasb@1Kings:1:39 @Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, " Long live King Solomon!"
nasb@1Kings:1:40 @All the people went up after him, and the people were playing on flutes and rejoicing with great joy, so that the earth shook at their noise.
nasb@1Kings:1:41 @Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, "Why is the city making such an uproar?"
nasb@1Kings:1:42 @While he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. Then Adonijah said, "Come in, for you are a valiant man and bring good news."
nasb@1Kings:1:43 @But Jonathan replied to Adonijah, "No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
nasb@1Kings:1:44" @The king has also sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; and they have made him ride on the king's mule.
nasb@1Kings:1:45" @Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon, and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. This is the noise which you have heard.
nasb@1Kings:1:46" @Besides, Solomon has even taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom.
nasb@1Kings:1:47" @Moreover, the king's servants came to bless our lord King David, saying, 'May your God make the name of Solomon better than your name and his throne greater than your throne!' And the king bowed himself on the bed.
nasb@1Kings:1:48" @The king has also said thus, 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has granted one to sit on my throne today while my own eyes see it.'"
nasb@1Kings:1:49 @Then all the guests of Adonijah were terrified; and they arose and each went on his way.
nasb@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon, and he arose, went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
nasb@1Kings:1:51 @Now it was told Solomon, saying, "Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, 'Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.'"
nasb@1Kings:1:52 @Solomon said, "If he is a worthy man, not one of his hairs will fall to the ground; but if wickedness is found in him, he will die."
nasb@1Kings:2:1 @So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and prostrated himself before King Solomon, and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."
nasb@1Kings:2:2 @As David's time to die drew near, he charged Solomon his son, saying,
nasb@1Kings:2:2" @ I am going the way of all the earth. Be strong, therefore, and show yourself a man.
nasb@1Kings:2:3" @Keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn,
nasb@1Kings:2:4 @so that the LORD may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ' If your sons are careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.'
nasb@1Kings:2:5" @Now you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt about his waist, and on his sandals on his feet.
nasb@1Kings:2:6" @ So act according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to Sheol in peace.
nasb@1Kings:2:7" @But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for they assisted me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
nasb@1Kings:2:8" @Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim; now it was he who cursed me with a violent curse on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD, saying, 'I will not put you to death with the sword.'
nasb@1Kings:2:9" @Now therefore, do not let him go unpunished, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his gray hair down to Sheol with blood."
nasb@1Kings:2:10 @Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David.
nasb@1Kings:2:11 @The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years- seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.
nasb@1Kings:2:12 @And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was firmly established.
nasb@1Kings:2:13 @Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, " Do you come peacefully?" And he said, "Peacefully."
nasb@1Kings:2:14 @Then he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Speak."
nasb@1Kings:2:15 @So he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine and that all Israel expected me to be king; however, the kingdom has turned about and become my brother's, for it was his from the LORD.
nasb@1Kings:2:16" @Now I am making one request of you; do not refuse me." And she said to him, "Speak."
nasb@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, "Please speak to Solomon the king, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife."
nasb@1Kings:2:18 @Bathsheba said, "Very well; I will speak to the king for you."
nasb@1Kings:2:19 @So Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king arose to meet her, bowed before her, and sat on his throne; then he had a throne set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right.
nasb@1Kings:2:20 @Then she said, "I am making one small request of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse you."
nasb@1Kings:2:21 @So she said, " Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as a wife."
nasb@1Kings:2:22 @King Solomon answered and said to his mother, "And why are you asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him also the kingdom-- for he is my older brother--even for him, for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah!"
nasb@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
nasb@1Kings:2:24" @Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has established me and set me on the throne of David my father and who has made me a house as He promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death today."
nasb@1Kings:2:25 @So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him so that he died.
nasb@1Kings:2:26 @Then to Abiathar the priest the king said, " Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted."
nasb@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD, which He had spoken concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
nasb@1Kings:2:28 @Now the news came to Joab, for Joab had followed Adonijah, although he had not followed Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar.
nasb@1Kings:2:29 @It was told King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tent of the LORD, and behold, he is beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, " Go, fall upon him."
nasb@1Kings:2:30 @So Benaiah came to the tent of the LORD and said to him, "Thus the king has said, 'Come out.'" But he said, "No, for I will die here." And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, "Thus spoke Joab, and thus he answered me."
nasb@1Kings:2:31 @The king said to him, " Do as he has spoken and fall upon him and bury him, that you may remove from me and from my father's house the blood which Joab shed without cause.
nasb@1Kings:2:32" @ The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it- Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah.
nasb@1Kings:2:33" @ So shall their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever; but to David and his descendants and his house and his throne, may there be peace from the LORD forever."
nasb@1Kings:2:34 @Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and put him to death, and he was buried at his own house in the wilderness.
nasb@1Kings:2:35 @The king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in his place, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
nasb@1Kings:2:36 @Now the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and live there, and do not go out from there to any place.
nasb@1Kings:2:37" @For on the day you go out and cross over the brook Kidron, you will know for certain that you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head."
nasb@1Kings:2:38 @Shimei then said to the king, "The word is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.
nasb@1Kings:2:39 @But it came about at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Behold, your servants are in Gath."
nasb@1Kings:2:40 @Then Shimei arose and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to look for his servants. And Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.
nasb@1Kings:2:41 @It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
nasb@1Kings:2:42 @So the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD and solemnly warn you, saying, 'You will know for certain that on the day you depart and go anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, 'The word which I have heard is good.'
nasb@1Kings:2:43" @Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the command which I have laid on you?"
nasb@1Kings:2:44 @The king also said to Shimei, " You know all the evil which you acknowledge in your heart, which you did to my father David; therefore the LORD shall return your evil on your own head.
nasb@1Kings:2:45" @But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."
nasb@1Kings:2:46 @So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and fell upon him so that he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hands of Solomon.
nasb@1Kings:3:1 @Then Solomon formed a marriage alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter and brought her to the city of David until he had finished building his own house and the house of the LORD and the wall around Jerusalem.
nasb@1Kings:3:2 @The people were still sacrificing on the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.
nasb@1Kings:3:3 @Now Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of his father David, except he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
nasb@1Kings:3:4 @The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place; Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
nasb@1Kings:3:5 @In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night; and God said, " Ask what you wish me to give you."
nasb@1Kings:3:6 @Then Solomon said, " You have shown great lovingkindness to Your servant David my father, according as he walked before You in truth and righteousness and uprightness of heart toward You; and You have reserved for him this great lovingkindness, that You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
nasb@1Kings:3:7" @Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.
nasb@1Kings:3:8" @ Your servant is in the midst of Your people which You have chosen, a great people who are too many to be numbered or counted.
nasb@1Kings:3:9" @So give Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
nasb@1Kings:3:10 @It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing.
nasb@1Kings:3:11 @God said to him, "Because you have asked this thing and have not asked for yourself long life, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have you asked for the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice,
nasb@1Kings:3:12 @behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, nor shall one like you arise after you.
nasb@1Kings:3:13" @ I have also given you what you have not asked, both riches and honor, so that there will not be any among the kings like you all your days.
nasb@1Kings:3:14" @ If you walk in My ways, keeping My statutes and commandments, as your father David walked, then I will prolong your days."
nasb@1Kings:3:15 @Then Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered burnt offerings and made peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.
nasb@1Kings:3:16 @Then two women who were harlots came to the king and stood before him.
nasb@1Kings:3:17 @The one woman said, "Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house.
nasb@1Kings:3:18" @It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house.
nasb@1Kings:3:19" @This woman's son died in the night, because she lay on it.
nasb@1Kings:3:20" @So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom.
nasb@1Kings:3:21" @When I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne."
nasb@1Kings:3:22 @Then the other woman said, "No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son." But the first woman said, "No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son." Thus they spoke before the king.
nasb@1Kings:3:23 @Then the king said, "The one says, 'This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one'; and the other says, 'No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.'"
nasb@1Kings:3:24 @The king said, "Get me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.
nasb@1Kings:3:25 @The king said, "Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other."
nasb@1Kings:3:26 @Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, "Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him." But the other said, "He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!"
nasb@1Kings:3:27 @Then the king said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother."
nasb@1Kings:3:28 @When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had handed down, they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.
nasb@1Kings:4:1 @Now King Solomon was king over all Israel.
nasb@1Kings:4:2 @These were his officials- Azariah the son of Zadok was the priest;
nasb@1Kings:4:3 @Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha were secretaries; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder;
nasb@1Kings:4:4 @and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the army; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
nasb@1Kings:4:5 @and Azariah the son of Nathan was over the deputies; and Zabud the son of Nathan, a priest, was the king's friend;
nasb@1Kings:4:6 @and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to forced labor.
nasb@1Kings:4:7 @Solomon had twelve deputies over all Israel, who provided for the king and his household; each man had to provide for a month in the year.
nasb@1Kings:4:8 @These are their names- Ben-hur, in the hill country of Ephraim;
nasb@1Kings:4:9 @Ben-deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;
nasb@1Kings:4:10 @Ben-hesed, in Arubboth ( Socoh was his and all the land of Hepher);
nasb@1Kings:4:11 @Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (Taphath the daughter of Solomon was his wife);
nasb@1Kings:4:12 @Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan below Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah as far as the other side of Jokmeam;
nasb@1Kings:4:13 @Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead ( the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead were his- the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great cities with walls and bronze bars were his);
nasb@1Kings:4:14 @Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;
nasb@1Kings:4:15 @Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also married Basemath the daughter of Solomon);
nasb@1Kings:4:16 @Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;
nasb@1Kings:4:17 @Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;
nasb@1Kings:4:18 @Shimei the son of Ela, in Benjamin;
nasb@1Kings:4:19 @Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only deputy who was in the land.
nasb@1Kings:4:20 @Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance; they were eating and drinking and rejoicing.
nasb@1Kings:4:21 @Now Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines and to the border of Egypt; they brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
nasb@1Kings:4:22 @Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour and sixty kors of meal,
nasb@1Kings:4:23 @ten fat oxen, twenty pasture-fed oxen, a hundred sheep besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fattened fowl.
nasb@1Kings:4:24 @For he had dominion over everything west of the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings west of the River; and he had peace on all sides around about him.
nasb@1Kings:4:25 @So Judah and Israel lived in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
nasb@1Kings:4:26 @Solomon had 40,000 stalls of horses for his chariots, and 12,000 horsemen.
nasb@1Kings:4:27 @Those deputies provided for King Solomon and all who came to King Solomon's table, each in his month; they left nothing lacking.
nasb@1Kings:4:28 @They also brought barley and straw for the horses and swift steeds to the place where it should be, each according to his charge.
nasb@1Kings:4:29 @Now God gave Solomon wisdom and very great discernment and breadth of mind, like the sand that is on the seashore.
nasb@1Kings:4:30 @Solomon's wisdom surpassed the wisdom of all the sons of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt.
nasb@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, Heman, Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was known in all the surrounding nations.
nasb@1Kings:4:32 @He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, and his songs were 1,005.
nasb@1Kings:4:33 @He spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that grows on the wall; he spoke also of animals and birds and creeping things and fish.
nasb@1Kings:4:34 @Men came from all peoples to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom.
nasb@1Kings:5:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, when he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
nasb@1Kings:5:2 @Then Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,
nasb@1Kings:5:3" @You know that David my father was unable to build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
nasb@1Kings:5:4" @But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.
nasb@1Kings:5:5" @Behold, I intend to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.'
nasb@1Kings:5:6" @Now therefore, command that they cut for me cedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
nasb@1Kings:5:7 @When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said, "Blessed be the LORD today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
nasb@1Kings:5:8 @So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber.
nasb@1Kings:5:9" @My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place where you direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you shall carry them away. Then you shall accomplish my desire by giving food to my household."
nasb@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon as much as he desired of the cedar and cypress timber.
nasb@1Kings:5:11 @Solomon then gave Hiram 20,000 kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil; thus Solomon would give Hiram year by year.
nasb@1Kings:5:12 @The LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
nasb@1Kings:5:13 @Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.
nasb@1Kings:5:14 @He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.
nasb@1Kings:5:15 @Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,
nasb@1Kings:5:16 @besides Solomon's 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
nasb@1Kings:5:17 @Then the king commanded, and they quarried great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with cut stones.
nasb@1Kings:5:18 @So Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timbers and the stones to build the house.
nasb@1Kings:6:1 @Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
nasb@1Kings:6:2 @As for the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits and its width twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits.
nasb@1Kings:6:3 @The porch in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits in length, corresponding to the width of the house, and its depth along the front of the house was ten cubits.
nasb@1Kings:6:4 @Also for the house he made windows with artistic frames.
nasb@1Kings:6:5 @Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the nave and the inner sanctuary; thus he made side chambers all around.
nasb@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.
nasb@1Kings:6:7 @The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.
nasb@1Kings:6:8 @The doorway for the lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.
nasb@1Kings:6:9 @So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
nasb@1Kings:6:10 @He also built the stories against the whole house, each five cubits high; and they were fastened to the house with timbers of cedar.
nasb@1Kings:6:11 @Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,
nasb@1Kings:6:12" @Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father.
nasb@1Kings:6:13" @ I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
nasb@1Kings:6:14 @So Solomon built the house and finished it.
nasb@1Kings:6:15 @Then he built the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress.
nasb@1Kings:6:16 @He built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, even as the most holy place.
nasb@1Kings:6:17 @The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was forty cubits long.
nasb@1Kings:6:18 @There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.
nasb@1Kings:6:19 @Then he prepared an inner sanctuary within the house in order to place there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
nasb@1Kings:6:20 @The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in height, and he overlaid it with pure gold. He also overlaid the altar with cedar.
nasb@1Kings:6:21 @So Solomon overlaid the inside of the house with pure gold. And he drew chains of gold across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
nasb@1Kings:6:22 @He overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. Also the whole altar which was by the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
nasb@1Kings:6:23 @Also in the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive wood, each ten cubits high.
nasb@1Kings:6:24 @Five cubits was the one wing of the cherub and five cubits the other wing of the cherub; from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing were ten cubits.
nasb@1Kings:6:25 @The other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of the same measure and the same form.
nasb@1Kings:6:26 @The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.
