Romans:1:10 @Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
drb@Romans:1:27 @And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
drb@Romans:7:8 @But sin taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
drb@Romans:7:11 @For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
drb@Romans:10:3 @For they, not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God.
drb@Romans:14:17 @For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but justice, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost
drb@1Corinthians:4:12 @And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.
drb@1Corinthians:4:20 @For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
drb@1Corinthians:6:9 @Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
drb@1Corinthians:6:10 @Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, shall possess the kingdom of God.
drb@1Corinthians:10:16 @The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord?
drb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat; asking no question for conscience' sake.
drb@1Corinthians:10:27 @If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you will be willing to go; eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.
drb@1Corinthians:10:33 @As I also in all things please all men, not seeking that which is profitable to myself, but to many, that may be saved.
drb@1Corinthians:12:3 @Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man, speaking by the Spirit of God, saith Anathema to Jesus. And no man can say the Lord Jesus, but by the Holy Ghost.
drb@1Corinthians:12:10 @To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, the discerning of spirits; to another, diverse kinds of tongues; to another, interpretation of speeches.
drb@1Corinthians:14:6 @But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?
drb@1Corinthians:14:9 @So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.
drb@1Corinthians:15:24 @Afterwards the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God and the Father, when he shall have brought to nought all principality, and power, and virtue.
drb@1Corinthians:15:50 @Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.
drb@2Corinthians:4:2 @But we renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience, in the sight of God.
drb@2Corinthians:11:32 @At Damascus, the governor of the nation under Aretas the king, guarded the city of the Damascenes, to apprehend me.

drb@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not be made desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying on another.
drb@Ephesians:1:16 @Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,
drb@Ephesians:2:14 @For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:
drb@Ephesians:2:15 @Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make the two in himself into one new man, making peace;
drb@Ephesians:4:19 @Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
drb@Ephesians:4:28 @He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
drb@Ephesians:5:4 @Or obscenity, or foolish talking, or scurrility, which is to no purpose; but rather giving of thanks.
drb@Ephesians:5:5 @For know you this and understand, that no fornicator, or unclean, or covetous person (which is a serving of idols), hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
drb@Ephesians:5:19 @Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord;
drb@Ephesians:6:16 @In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one.
drb@Philippians:1:4 @Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;

drb@Colossians:1:13 @Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love,
drb@Colossians:1:20 @And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth, and the things that are in heaven.
drb@Colossians:1:29 @Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power.
drb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no man seduce you, willing in humility, and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh,

drb@1Thessalonians:1:2 @Grace be to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for you all; making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing,
drb@1Thessalonians:2:8 @For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God.
drb@1Thessalonians:2:11 @We testified to every one of you, that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
drb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer.
drb@2Thessalonians:2:9 @Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
drb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.
drb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.
drb@2Thessalonians:3:12 @Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

drb@1Timothy:4:2 @Speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their conscience seared,
drb@1Timothy:5:13 @And withal being idle they learn to go about from house to house: and are not only idle, but tattlers also, and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
drb@1Timothy:6:15 @Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
drb@2Timothy:4:1 @I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:

drb@Hebrews:6:6 @And are fallen away: to be renewed again to penance, crucifying again to themselves the Son of God, and making him a mockery.
drb@Hebrews:6:13 @For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself,
drb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:
drb@Hebrews:7:2 @To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation, is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:
drb@Hebrews:10:25 @Not forsaking our assembly, as some are accustomed; but comforting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching.
drb@Hebrews:10:28 @A man making void the law of Moses, dieth without any mercy under two or three witnesses:
drb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king's edict.
drb@Hebrews:11:26 @By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.
drb@Hebrews:11:32 @Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
drb@Hebrews:12:2 @Looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who having joy set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and now sitteth on the right hand of the throne of God.
drb@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking diligently, lest any man be wanting to the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up do hinder, and by it many be defiled.
drb@Hebrews:12:28 @Therefore receiving an immoveable kingdom, we have grace; whereby let us serve, pleasing God, with fear and reverence.
drb@James:2:5 @Hearken, my dearest brethren: hath not God chosen the poor in this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?
drb@1Peter:2:9 @But you are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people: that you may declare his virtues, who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
drb@1Peter:2:13 @Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling;
drb@1Peter:2:16 @As free, and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God.
drb@1Peter:2:17 @Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
drb@1Peter:4:4 @Wherein they think it strange, that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness, speaking evil of you.
drb@1Peter:5:2 @Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily:
drb@1Peter:5:8 @Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
drb@2Peter:1:11 @For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
drb@2Peter:2:6 @And reducing the cities of the Sodomites, and of the Gomorrhites, into ashes, condemned them to be overthrown, making them an example to those that should after act wickedly.
drb@2Peter:2:16 @But had a check of his madness, the dumb beast used to the yoke, which speaking with man's voice, forbade the folly of the prophet.
drb@2Peter:2:18 @For, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness, those who for a little while escape, such as converse in error:
drb@2Peter:3:3 @Knowing this first, that in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
drb@2Peter:3:12 @Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat?
drb@2Peter:3:16 @As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are certain things hard to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, to their own destruction.
drb@2John:1:4 @I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
drb@3John:1:7 @Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
drb@Jude:1:3 @Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.
drb@Jude:1:16 @These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires, and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons for gain's sake.
drb@Jude:1:18 @Who told you, that in the last time there should come mockers, walking according to their own desires in ungodlinesses.
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:![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
