nkjv@Joshua:1:1 @ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, saying:

nkjv@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

nkjv@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

nkjv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

nkjv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, "Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you to possess."'

nkjv@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

nkjv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD has given your brethren rest, as He gave you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them. Then you shall return to the land of your possession and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise."

nkjv@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country."

nkjv@Joshua:2:5 @ And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them."

nkjv@Joshua:2:7 @ Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

nkjv@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men: "I know that the LORD has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.

nkjv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

nkjv@Joshua:2:14 @ So the men answered her, "Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."

nkjv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall; she dwelt on the wall.

nkjv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of us."

nkjv@Joshua:3:2 @ So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp;

nkjv@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before."

nkjv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

nkjv@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, "By this you shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

nkjv@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand as a heap."

nkjv@Joshua:3:14 @ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

nkjv@Joshua:3:15 @ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),

nkjv@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying:

nkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so, just as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

nkjv@Joshua:4:10 @ So the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.

nkjv@Joshua:4:11 @ Then it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.

nkjv@Joshua:4:12 @ And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

nkjv@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

nkjv@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.

nkjv@Joshua:4:19 @ Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:4:21 @ Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, "What are these stones?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:23 @ for the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,

nkjv@Joshua:5:1 @ So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

nkjv@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

nkjv@Joshua:5:8 @ So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.

nkjv@Joshua:5:10 @ Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:12 @ Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.

nkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"

nkjv@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

nkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him."

nkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

nkjv@Joshua:6:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.

nkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

nkjv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."

nkjv@Joshua:6:24 @ But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.

nkjv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the LORD burned against the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:7:2 @ Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the country." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.

nkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all--to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

nkjv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.

nkjv@Joshua:7:15 @ Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel."'

nkjv@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.

nkjv@Joshua:7:17 @ He brought the clan of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.

nkjv@Joshua:7:18 @ Then he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

nkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

nkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoil and its cattle you shall take as booty for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it."

nkjv@Joshua:8:5 @ Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city; and it will come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them.

nkjv@Joshua:8:6 @ For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, "They are fleeing before us as at the first.' Therefore we will flee before them.

nkjv@Joshua:8:13 @ And when they had set the people, all the army that was on the north of the city, and its rear guard on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

nkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

nkjv@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. So they left the city open and pursued Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:19 @ So those in ambush arose quickly out of their place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.

nkjv@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to heaven. So they had no power to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

nkjv@Joshua:8:21 @ Now when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when they all had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:8:25 @ So it was that all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand--all the people of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty for themselves, according to the word of the LORD which He had commanded Joshua.

nkjv@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: "an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool." And they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

nkjv@Joshua:8:33 @ Then all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon--the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--heard about it,

nkjv@Joshua:9:4 @ they worked craftily, and went and pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and mended,

nkjv@Joshua:9:5 @ old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.

nkjv@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan--to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

nkjv@Joshua:9:14 @ Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask counsel of the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the rulers said to them, "Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for all the congregation, as the rulers had promised them."

nkjv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, here we are, in your hands; do with us as it seems good and right to do to us."

nkjv@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it--as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king--and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

nkjv@Joshua:10:2 @ that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

nkjv@Joshua:10:4 @ "Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."

nkjv@Joshua:10:7 @ So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

nkjv@Joshua:10:10 @ So the LORD routed them before Israel, killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, chased them along the road that goes to Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:11 @ And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that the LORD cast down large hailstones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword.

nkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:14 @ And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the LORD heeded the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, saying, "The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah."

nkjv@Joshua:10:19 @ And do not stay there yourselves, but pursue your enemies, and attack their rear guard. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand."

nkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.

nkjv@Joshua:10:27 @ So it was at the time of the going down of the sun that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

nkjv@Joshua:10:28 @ On that day Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them --all the people who were in it. He let none remain. He also did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:10:29 @ Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah; and they fought against Libnah.

nkjv@Joshua:10:30 @ And the LORD also delivered it and its king into the hand of Israel; he struck it and all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword. He let none remain in it, but did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:10:31 @ Then Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:34 @ From Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

nkjv@Joshua:10:39 @ And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.

nkjv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua conquered all the land: the mountain country and the South and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded.

nkjv@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua conquered them from Kadesh Barnea as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.

nkjv@Joshua:11:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

nkjv@Joshua:11:3 @ to the Canaanites in the east and in the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the mountains, and the Hivite below Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

nkjv@Joshua:11:4 @ So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.

nkjv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to Greater Sidon, to the Brook Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining.

nkjv@Joshua:11:9 @ So Joshua did to them as the LORD had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

nkjv@Joshua:11:10 @ Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.

nkjv@Joshua:11:11 @ And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was none left breathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.

nkjv@Joshua:11:12 @ So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

nkjv@Joshua:11:13 @ But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

nkjv@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing.

nkjv@Joshua:11:15 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:11:17 @ from Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings, and struck them down and killed them.

nkjv@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle.

nkjv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:11:22 @ None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.

nkjv@Joshua:11:23 @ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land rested from war.

nkjv@Joshua:12:1 @ These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain:

nkjv@Joshua:12:2 @ One king was Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon and ruled half of Gilead, from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, from the middle of that river, even as far as the River Jabbok, which is the border of the Ammonites,

nkjv@Joshua:12:3 @ and the eastern Jordan plain from the Sea of Chinneroth as far as the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), the road to Beth Jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

nkjv@Joshua:12:4 @ The other king was Og king of Bashan and his territory, who was of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

nkjv@Joshua:12:5 @ and reigned over Mount Hermon, over Salcah, over all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and over half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

nkjv@Joshua:12:6 @ These Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel had conquered; and Moses the servant of the LORD had given it as a possession to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh.

nkjv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

nkjv@Joshua:12:18 @ the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;

nkjv@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old, advanced in years. And the LORD said to him: "You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed.

nkjv@Joshua:13:3 @ from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines--the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites;

nkjv@Joshua:13:4 @ from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

nkjv@Joshua:13:5 @ the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath;

nkjv@Joshua:13:6 @ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as the Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians--them I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

nkjv@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh."

nkjv@Joshua:13:8 @ With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses had given them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD had given them:

nkjv@Joshua:13:9 @ from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon;

nkjv@Joshua:13:10 @ all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon;

nkjv@Joshua:13:11 @ Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah;

nkjv@Joshua:13:12 @ all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants; for Moses had defeated and cast out these.

nkjv@Joshua:13:14 @ Only to the tribe of Levi he had given no inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as He said to them.

nkjv@Joshua:13:16 @ Their territory was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plain by Medeba;

nkjv@Joshua:13:23 @ And the border of the children of Reuben was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:13:25 @ Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before Rabbah,

nkjv@Joshua:13:27 @ and in the valley Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as its border, as far as the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth, on the other side of the Jordan eastward.

nkjv@Joshua:13:29 @ Moses also had given an inheritance to half the tribe of Manasseh; it was for half the tribe of the children of Manasseh according to their families:

nkjv@Joshua:13:30 @ Their territory was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair which are in Bashan, sixty cities;

nkjv@Joshua:13:31 @ half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:13:32 @ These are the areas which Moses had distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward.

nkjv@Joshua:13:33 @ But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as He had said to them.

nkjv@Joshua:14:1 @ These are the areas which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed as an inheritance to them.

nkjv@Joshua:14:2 @ Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

nkjv@Joshua:14:4 @ For the children of Joseph were two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim. And they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell in, with their common-lands for their livestock and their property.

nkjv@Joshua:14:5 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

nkjv@Joshua:14:7 @ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

nkjv@Joshua:14:9 @ So Moses swore on that day, saying, "Surely the land where your foot has trodden shall be your inheritance and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'

nkjv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

nkjv@Joshua:14:11 @ As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.

nkjv@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."

nkjv@Joshua:14:13 @ And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.

nkjv@Joshua:14:15 @ And the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim). Then the land had rest from war.

nkjv@Joshua:15:1 @ So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:15:3 @ Then it went out to the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, passed along to Zin, ascended on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, passed along to Hezron, went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa.

nkjv@Joshua:15:4 @ From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

nkjv@Joshua:15:5 @ The east border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border on the northern quarter began at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:15:6 @ The border went up to Beth Hoglah and passed north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nkjv@Joshua:15:7 @ Then the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at En Rogel.

nkjv@Joshua:15:10 @ Then the border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

nkjv@Joshua:15:11 @ And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border went around to Shicron, passed along to Mount Baalah, and extended to Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:15:12 @ The west border was the coastline of the Great Sea. This is the boundary of the children of Judah all around according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:15:13 @ Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).

nkjv@Joshua:15:15 @ Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).

nkjv@Joshua:15:16 @ And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife."

nkjv@Joshua:15:17 @ So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

nkjv@Joshua:15:18 @ Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Joshua:15:20 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families:

nkjv@Joshua:15:33 @ In the lowland: Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah,

nkjv@Joshua:15:37 @ Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal Gad,

nkjv@Joshua:15:40 @ Cabbon, Lahmas, Kithlish,

nkjv@Joshua:15:42 @ Libnah, Ether, Ashan,

nkjv@Joshua:15:43 @ Jiphtah, Ashnah, Nezib,

nkjv@Joshua:15:46 @ from Ekron to the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages;

nkjv@Joshua:15:47 @ Ashdod with its towns and villages, Gaza with its towns and villages--as far as the Brook of Egypt and the Great Sea with its coastline.

nkjv@Joshua:15:63 @ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:16:1 @ The lot fell to the children of Joseph from the Jordan, by Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho through the mountains to Bethel,

nkjv@Joshua:16:2 @ then went out from Bethel to Luz, passed along to the border of the Archites at Ataroth,

nkjv@Joshua:16:3 @ and went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Lower Beth Horon to Gezer; and it ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:16:4 @ So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.

nkjv@Joshua:16:5 @ The border of the children of Ephraim, according to their families, was thus: The border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth Addar as far as Upper Beth Horon.

nkjv@Joshua:16:6 @ And the border went out toward the sea on the north side of Michmethath; then the border went around eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east of Janohah.

nkjv@Joshua:16:8 @ The border went out from Tappuah westward to the Brook Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:16:9 @ The separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:17:1 @ There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph: namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given Gilead and Bashan.

nkjv@Joshua:17:2 @ And there was a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh according to their families: for the children of Abiezer, the children of Helek, the children of Asriel, the children of Shechem, the children of Hepher, and the children of Shemida; these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:17:3 @ But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:5 @ Ten shares fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side of the Jordan,

nkjv@Joshua:17:6 @ because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

nkjv@Joshua:17:7 @ And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:8 @ Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.

nkjv@Joshua:17:9 @ And the border descended to the Brook Kanah, southward to the brook. These cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh. The border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook; and it ended at the sea.

nkjv@Joshua:17:10 @ Southward it was Ephraim's, northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea was its border. Manasseh's territory was adjoining Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

nkjv@Joshua:17:11 @ And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns--three hilly regions.

nkjv@Joshua:17:12 @ Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

nkjv@Joshua:17:14 @ Then the children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given us only one lot and one share to inherit, since we are a great people, inasmuch as the LORD has blessed us until now?"

nkjv@Joshua:17:17 @ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph--to Ephraim and Manasseh--saying, "You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one lot,

nkjv@Joshua:18:1 @ Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

nkjv@Joshua:18:3 @ Then Joshua said to the children of Israel: "How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers has given you?

nkjv@Joshua:18:6 @ You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:18:7 @ But the Levites have no part among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."

nkjv@Joshua:18:8 @ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nkjv@Joshua:18:9 @ So the men went, passed through the land, and wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

nkjv@Joshua:18:10 @ Then Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD, and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

nkjv@Joshua:18:14 @ Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.

nkjv@Joshua:18:17 @ And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nkjv@Joshua:18:18 @ Then it passed along toward the north side of Arabah, and went down to Arabah.

nkjv@Joshua:18:19 @ And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; then the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:18:20 @ The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:18:28 @ Zelah, Eleph, Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:1 @ The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

nkjv@Joshua:19:7 @ Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan: four cities and their villages;

nkjv@Joshua:19:8 @ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the children of Simeon was included in the share of the children of Judah, for the share of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of that people.

nkjv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

nkjv@Joshua:19:11 @ Their border went toward the west and to Maralah, went to Dabbasheth, and extended along the brook that is east of Jokneam.

nkjv@Joshua:19:12 @ Then from Sarid it went eastward toward the sunrise along the border of Chisloth Tabor, and went out toward Daberath, bypassing Japhia.

nkjv@Joshua:19:13 @ And from there it passed along on the east of Gath Hepher, toward Eth Kazin, and extended to Rimmon, which borders on Neah.

nkjv@Joshua:19:16 @ This was the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:23 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:24 @ The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:27 @ It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, bypassing Cabul which was on the left,

nkjv@Joshua:19:28 @ including Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.

nkjv@Joshua:19:31 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:33 @ And their border began at Heleph, enclosing the territory from the terebinth tree in Zaanannim, Adami Nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; it ended at the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:19:34 @ From Heleph the border extended westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there toward Hukkok; it adjoined Zebulun on the south side and Asher on the west side, and ended at Judah by the Jordan toward the sunrise.

nkjv@Joshua:19:39 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:41 @ And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh,

nkjv@Joshua:19:49 @ When they had made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

nkjv@Joshua:19:50 @ According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked for, Timnath Serah in the mountains of Ephraim; and he built the city and dwelt in it.

nkjv@Joshua:19:51 @ These were the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided as an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the country.

nkjv@Joshua:20:4 @ And when he flees to one of those cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares his case in the hearing of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city as one of them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

nkjv@Joshua:20:8 @ And on the other side of the Jordan, by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness on the plain, from the tribe of Reuben, Ramoth in Gilead, from the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, from the tribe of Manasseh.

nkjv@Joshua:21:5 @ The rest of the children of Kohath had ten cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Ephraim, from the tribe of Dan, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh.

nkjv@Joshua:21:6 @ And the children of Gershon had thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

nkjv@Joshua:21:8 @ And the children of Israel gave these cities with their common-lands by lot to the Levites, as the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:21:10 @ which were for the children of Aaron, one of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi; for the lot was theirs first.

nkjv@Joshua:21:11 @ And they gave them Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common-land surrounding it.

nkjv@Joshua:21:12 @ But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

nkjv@Joshua:21:25 @ and from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with its common-land and Gath Rimmon with its common-land: two cities.

nkjv@Joshua:21:27 @ Also to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, from the other half-tribe of Manasseh, they gave Golan in Bashan with its common-land (a city of refuge for the slayer), and Be Eshterah with its common-land: two cities;

nkjv@Joshua:21:30 @ and from the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its common-land, Abdon with its common-land,

nkjv@Joshua:21:45 @ Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

nkjv@Joshua:22:1 @ Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh,

nkjv@Joshua:22:4 @ And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:22:5 @ But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nkjv@Joshua:22:7 @ Now to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Joshua gave a possession among their brethren on this side of the Jordan, westward. And indeed, when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

nkjv@Joshua:22:9 @ So the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Joshua:22:10 @ And when they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan--a great, impressive altar.

nkjv@Joshua:22:11 @ Now the children of Israel heard someone say, "Behold, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan--on the children of Israel's side."

nkjv@Joshua:22:13 @ Then the children of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,

nkjv@Joshua:22:14 @ and with him ten rulers, one ruler each from the chief house of every tribe of Israel; and each one was the head of the house of his father among the divisions of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:22:15 @ Then they came to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:22:17 @ Is the iniquity of Peor not enough for us, from which we are not cleansed till this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,

nkjv@Joshua:22:20 @ Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity."'

nkjv@Joshua:22:21 @ Then the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the divisions of Israel:

nkjv@Joshua:22:24 @ But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, "In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel?

nkjv@Joshua:22:25 @ For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between you and us, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no part in the LORD." So your descendants would make our descendants cease fearing the LORD.'

nkjv@Joshua:22:30 @ Now when Phinehas the priest and the rulers of the congregation, the heads of the divisions of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.

nkjv@Joshua:22:31 @ Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:22:32 @ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the rulers, returned from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought back word to them.

nkjv@Joshua:22:33 @ So the thing pleased the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God; they spoke no more of going against them in battle, to destroy the land where the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

nkjv@Joshua:23:1 @ Now it came to pass, a long time after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age.

nkjv@Joshua:23:3 @ You have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations because of you, for the LORD your God is He who has fought for you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:4 @ See, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea westward.

nkjv@Joshua:23:5 @ And the LORD your God will expel them from before you and drive them out of your sight. So you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:6 @ Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

nkjv@Joshua:23:8 @ but you shall hold fast to the LORD your God, as you have done to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out from before you great and strong nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand against you to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:23:10 @ One man of you shall chase a thousand, for the LORD your God is He who fights for you, as He promised you.

nkjv@Joshua:23:13 @ know for certain that the LORD your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

nkjv@Joshua:24:26 @ Then Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And he took a large stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God."

nkjv@Joshua:24:29 @ Now it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

nkjv@Joshua:24:30 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, which is in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

nkjv@Joshua:24:33 @ And Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in a hill belonging to Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the mountains of Ephraim.

nkjv@Judges:1:1 @ Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, "Who shall be first to go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?"

nkjv@Judges:1:7 @ And Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

nkjv@Judges:1:10 @ Then Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

nkjv@Judges:1:11 @ From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)

nkjv@Judges:1:12 @ Then Caleb said, "Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife."

nkjv@Judges:1:13 @ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.

nkjv@Judges:1:14 @ Now it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Judges:1:17 @ And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

nkjv@Judges:1:18 @ Also Judah took Gaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.

nkjv@Judges:1:19 @ So the LORD was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.

nkjv@Judges:1:20 @ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he expelled from there the three sons of Anak.

nkjv@Judges:1:22 @ And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel, and the LORD was with them.

nkjv@Judges:1:23 @ So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)

nkjv@Judges:1:24 @ And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy."

nkjv@Judges:1:27 @ However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

nkjv@Judges:1:28 @ And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

nkjv@Judges:1:31 @ Nor did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Acco or the inhabitants of Sidon, or of Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik, or Rehob.

nkjv@Judges:1:32 @ So the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

nkjv@Judges:1:36 @ Now the boundary of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela, and upward.

nkjv@Judges:2:4 @ So it was, when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nkjv@Judges:2:8 @ Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.

nkjv@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

nkjv@Judges:2:13 @ They forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

nkjv@Judges:2:14 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

nkjv@Judges:2:15 @ Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

nkjv@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.

nkjv@Judges:2:19 @ And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

nkjv@Judges:2:20 @ Then the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,

nkjv@Judges:2:22 @ so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the LORD, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not."

nkjv@Judges:3:2 @ (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

nkjv@Judges:3:7 @ So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs.

nkjv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

nkjv@Judges:3:16 @ Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.

nkjv@Judges:3:17 @ So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.)

nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

nkjv@Judges:3:25 @ So they waited till they were embarrassed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them. And there was their master, fallen dead on the floor.

nkjv@Judges:3:26 @ But Ehud had escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the stone images and escaped to Seirah.

nkjv@Judges:3:28 @ Then he said to them, "Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

nkjv@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest for eighty years.

nkjv@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.

nkjv@Judges:4:1 @ When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:4:2 @ So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth Hagoyim.

nkjv@Judges:4:4 @ Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

nkjv@Judges:4:6 @ Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, "Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, "Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

nkjv@Judges:4:14 @ Then Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nkjv@Judges:4:16 @ But Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth Hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.

nkjv@Judges:4:17 @ However, Sisera had fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

nkjv@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear." And when he had turned aside with her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket.

nkjv@Judges:4:19 @ Then he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him.

nkjv@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

nkjv@Judges:4:22 @ And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, I will show you the man whom you seek." And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.

nkjv@Judges:5:7 @ Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel.

nkjv@Judges:5:8 @ They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates; Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

nkjv@Judges:5:15 @ And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As Issachar, so was Barak Sent into the valley under his command; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.

nkjv@Judges:5:17 @ Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, And why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, And stayed by his inlets.

nkjv@Judges:5:25 @ He asked for water, she gave milk; She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.

nkjv@Judges:6:3 @ So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.

nkjv@Judges:6:4 @ Then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey.

nkjv@Judges:6:5 @ For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.

nkjv@Judges:6:6 @ So Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:6:7 @ And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD because of the Midianites,

nkjv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.

nkjv@Judges:6:13 @ Gideon said to Him, "O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, "Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites."

nkjv@Judges:6:15 @ So he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house."

nkjv@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, "Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianites as one man."

nkjv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.

nkjv@Judges:6:21 @ Then the Angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

nkjv@Judges:6:22 @ Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face."

nkjv@Judges:6:25 @ Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, "Take your father's young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it;

nkjv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the LORD had said to him. But because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.

nkjv@Judges:6:28 @ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, there was the altar of Baal, torn down; and the wooden image that was beside it was cut down, and the second bull was being offered on the altar which had been built.

nkjv@Judges:6:29 @ So they said to one another, "Who has done this thing?" And when they had inquired and asked, they said, "Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing."

nkjv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has torn down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the wooden image that was beside it."

nkjv@Judges:6:31 @ But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Would you plead for Baal? Would you save him? Let the one who would plead for him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him plead for himself, because his altar has been torn down!"

nkjv@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, "Let Baal plead against him, because he has torn down his altar."

nkjv@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Midianites and Amalekites, the people of the East, gathered together; and they crossed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.

nkjv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

nkjv@Judges:6:36 @ So Gideon said to God, "If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said--

nkjv@Judges:6:37 @ look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said."

nkjv@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water.

nkjv@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground.

nkjv@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the well of Harod, so that the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

nkjv@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, "My own hand has saved me.'

nkjv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, "Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink."

nkjv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.

nkjv@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nkjv@Judges:7:12 @ Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.

nkjv@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, "I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed."

nkjv@Judges:7:14 @ Then his companion answered and said, "This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp."

nkjv@Judges:7:15 @ And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he worshiped. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Arise, for the LORD has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand."

nkjv@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Look at me and do likewise; watch, and when I come to the edge of the camp you shall do as I do:

nkjv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

nkjv@Judges:7:22 @ When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

nkjv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel gathered together from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.

nkjv@Judges:7:24 @ Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mountains of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan." Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.

nkjv@Judges:8:3 @ God has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. And what was I able to do in comparison with you?" Then their anger toward him subsided when he said that.

nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."

nkjv@Judges:8:7 @ So Gideon said, "For this cause, when the LORD has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers!"

nkjv@Judges:8:8 @ Then he went up from there to Penuel and spoke to them in the same way. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

nkjv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.

nkjv@Judges:8:11 @ Then Gideon went up by the road of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah; and he attacked the army while the camp felt secure.

nkjv@Judges:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle, from the Ascent of Heres.

nkjv@Judges:8:18 @ And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" So they answered, "As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king."

nkjv@Judges:8:19 @ Then he said, "They were my brothers, the sons of my mother. As the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you."

nkjv@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his firstborn, "Rise, kill them!" But the youth would not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

nkjv@Judges:8:21 @ So Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:26 @ Now the weight of the gold earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:28 @ Thus Midian was subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted their heads no more. And the country was quiet for forty years in the days of Gideon.

nkjv@Judges:8:29 @ Then Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

nkjv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:8:32 @ Now Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

nkjv@Judges:8:33 @ So it was, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-Berith their god.

nkjv@Judges:9:2 @ "Please speak in the hearing of all the men of Shechem: "Which is better for you, that all seventy of the sons of Jerubbaal reign over you, or that one reign over you?' Remember that I am your own flesh and bone."

nkjv@Judges:9:3 @ And his mother's brothers spoke all these words concerning him in the hearing of all the men of Shechem; and their heart was inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, "He is our brother."

nkjv@Judges:9:5 @ Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah and killed his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, because he hid himself.

nkjv@Judges:9:6 @ And all the men of Shechem gathered together, all of Beth Millo, and they went and made Abimelech king beside the terebinth tree at the pillar that was in Shechem.

nkjv@Judges:9:9 @ But the olive tree said to them, "Should I cease giving my oil, With which they honor God and men, And go to sway over trees?'

nkjv@Judges:9:11 @ But the fig tree said to them, "Should I cease my sweetness and my good fruit, And go to sway over trees?'

nkjv@Judges:9:13 @ But the vine said to them, "Should I cease my new wine, Which cheers both God and men, And go to sway over trees?'

nkjv@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said to the trees, "If in truth you anoint me as king over you, Then come and take shelter in my shade; But if not, let fire come out of the bramble And devour the cedars of Lebanon!'

nkjv@Judges:9:16 @ "Now therefore, if you have acted in truth and sincerity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him as he deserves--

nkjv@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:9:29 @ If only this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech." So he said to Abimelech, "Increase your army and come out!"

nkjv@Judges:9:30 @ When Zebul, the ruler of the city, heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was aroused.

nkjv@Judges:9:33 @ And it shall be, as soon as the sun is up in the morning, that you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you may then do to them as you find opportunity."

nkjv@Judges:9:36 @ And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!" But Zebul said to him, "You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men."

nkjv@Judges:9:40 @ And Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him; and many fell wounded, to the very entrance of the gate.

nkjv@Judges:9:44 @ Then Abimelech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city; and the other two companies rushed upon all who were in the fields and killed them.

nkjv@Judges:9:47 @ And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

nkjv@Judges:9:48 @ Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him. And Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it and laid it on his shoulder; then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, make haste and do as I have done."

nkjv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower in the city, and all the men and women--all the people of the city--fled there and shut themselves in; then they went up to the top of the tower.

nkjv@Judges:9:52 @ So Abimelech came as far as the tower and fought against it; and he drew near the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

nkjv@Judges:9:55 @ And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed, every man to his place.

nkjv@Judges:10:2 @ He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir.

nkjv@Judges:10:5 @ And Jair died and was buried in Camon.

nkjv@Judges:10:6 @ Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

nkjv@Judges:10:7 @ So the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@Judges:10:8 @ From that year they harassed and oppressed the children of Israel for eighteen years--all the children of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead.

nkjv@Judges:10:9 @ Moreover the people of Ammon crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah also, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was severely distressed.

nkjv@Judges:10:17 @ Then the people of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:11:1 @ Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.

nkjv@Judges:11:4 @ It came to pass after a time that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably."

nkjv@Judges:11:16 @ for when Israel came up from Egypt, they walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

nkjv@Judges:11:17 @ Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let me pass through your land." But the king of Edom would not heed. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained in Kadesh.

nkjv@Judges:11:18 @ And they went along through the wilderness and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab, came to the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

nkjv@Judges:11:19 @ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land into our place."

nkjv@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:23 @ "And now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel; should you then possess it?

nkjv@Judges:11:29 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through Mizpah of Gilead; and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced toward the people of Ammon.

nkjv@Judges:11:31 @ then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

nkjv@Judges:11:33 @ And he defeated them from Aroer as far as Minnith--twenty cities--and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:11:34 @ When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, there was his daughter, coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

nkjv@Judges:11:35 @ And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low! You are among those who trouble me! For I have given my word to the LORD, and I cannot go back on it."

nkjv@Judges:11:36 @ So she said to him, "My father, if you have given your word to the LORD, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, because the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the people of Ammon."

nkjv@Judges:11:39 @ And it was so at the end of two months that she returned to her father, and he carried out his vow with her which he had vowed. She knew no man. And it became a custom in Israel

nkjv@Judges:12:4 @ Now Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites and among the Manassites."

nkjv@Judges:12:7 @ And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried among the cities of Gilead.

nkjv@Judges:13:9 @ And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the Angel of God came to the woman again as she was sitting in the field; but Manoah her husband was not with her.

nkjv@Judges:13:10 @ Then the woman ran in haste and told her husband, and said to him, "Look, the Man who came to me the other day has just now appeared to me!"

nkjv@Judges:13:12 @ Manoah said, "Now let Your words come to pass! What will be the boy's rule of life, and his work?"

nkjv@Judges:13:15 @ Then Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, "Please let us detain You, and we will prepare a young goat for You."

nkjv@Judges:13:16 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain Me, I will not eat your food. But if you offer a burnt offering, you must offer it to the LORD." (For Manoah did not know He was the Angel of the LORD.)

nkjv@Judges:13:17 @ Then Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, "What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?"

nkjv@Judges:13:18 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?"

nkjv@Judges:13:20 @ it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar--the Angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nkjv@Judges:13:21 @ When the Angel of the LORD appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:13:23 @ But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time."

nkjv@Judges:14:2 @ So he went up and told his father and mother, saying, "I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:14:3 @ Then his father and mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" And Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she pleases me well."

nkjv@Judges:14:4 @ But his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD--that He was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

nkjv@Judges:14:6 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

nkjv@Judges:14:7 @ Then he went down and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

nkjv@Judges:14:8 @ After some time, when he returned to get her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:9 @ He took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:10 @ So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so.

nkjv@Judges:14:12 @ Then Samson said to them, "Let me pose a riddle to you. If you can correctly solve and explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.

nkjv@Judges:14:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, or else we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?"

nkjv@Judges:14:17 @ Now she had wept on him the seven days while their feast lasted. And it happened on the seventh day that he told her, because she pressed him so much. Then she explained the riddle to the sons of her people.

nkjv@Judges:14:19 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had explained the riddle. So his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father's house.

nkjv@Judges:14:20 @ And Samson's wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man.

nkjv@Judges:15:2 @ Her father said, "I really thought that you thoroughly hated her; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead."

nkjv@Judges:15:5 @ When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.

nkjv@Judges:15:6 @ Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they answered, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nkjv@Judges:15:7 @ Samson said to them, "Since you would do a thing like this, I will surely take revenge on you, and after that I will cease."

nkjv@Judges:15:10 @ And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" So they answered, "We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."

nkjv@Judges:15:11 @ Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

nkjv@Judges:15:17 @ And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi.

nkjv@Judges:16:2 @ When the Gazites were told, "Samson has come here!" they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, "In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him."

nkjv@Judges:16:4 @ Afterward it happened that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

nkjv@Judges:16:6 @ So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength lies, and with what you may be bound to afflict you."

nkjv@Judges:16:9 @ Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

nkjv@Judges:16:10 @ Then Delilah said to Samson, "Look, you have mocked me and told me lies. Now, please tell me what you may be bound with."

nkjv@Judges:16:16 @ And it came to pass, when she pestered him daily with her words and pressed him, so that his soul was vexed to death,

nkjv@Judges:16:17 @ that he told her all his heart, and said to her, "No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man."

nkjv@Judges:16:18 @ When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

nkjv@Judges:16:20 @ And she said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" So he awoke from his sleep, and said, "I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!" But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

nkjv@Judges:16:23 @ Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands Samson our enemy!"

nkjv@Judges:16:24 @ When the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: "Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, The destroyer of our land, And the one who multiplied our dead."

nkjv@Judges:16:27 @ Now the temple was full of men and women. All the lords of the Philistines were there--about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson performed.

nkjv@Judges:17:1 @ Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

nkjv@Judges:17:6 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

nkjv@Judges:17:7 @ Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah; he was a Levite, and was staying there.

nkjv@Judges:17:8 @ The man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find a place. Then he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

nkjv@Judges:17:11 @ Then the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became like one of his sons to him.

nkjv@Judges:17:13 @ Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, since I have a Levite as priest!"

nkjv@Judges:18:1 @ In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day their inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not fallen to them.

nkjv@Judges:18:3 @ While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young Levite. They turned aside and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?"

nkjv@Judges:18:4 @ He said to them, "Thus and so Micah did for me. He has hired me, and I have become his priest."

nkjv@Judges:18:5 @ So they said to him, "Please inquire of God, that we may know whether the journey on which we go will be prosperous."

nkjv@Judges:18:10 @ When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth."

nkjv@Judges:18:13 @ And they passed from there to the mountains of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.

nkjv@Judges:18:15 @ So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him.

nkjv@Judges:18:20 @ So the priest's heart was glad; and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.

nkjv@Judges:18:28 @ There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth Rehob. So they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.

nkjv@Judges:18:29 @ And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nkjv@Judges:18:30 @ Then the children of Dan set up for themselves the carved image; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

nkjv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up for themselves Micah's carved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

nkjv@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

nkjv@Judges:19:2 @ But his concubine played the harlot against him, and went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four whole months.

nkjv@Judges:19:3 @ Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him.

nkjv@Judges:19:5 @ Then it came to pass on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he stood to depart; but the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way."

nkjv@Judges:19:6 @ So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please be content to stay all night, and let your heart be merry."

nkjv@Judges:19:8 @ Then he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart, but the young woman's father said, "Please refresh your heart." So they delayed until afternoon; and both of them ate.

nkjv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man stood to depart--he and his concubine and his servant--his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, the day is now drawing toward evening; please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end; lodge here, that your heart may be merry. Tomorrow go your way early, so that you may get home."

nkjv@Judges:19:10 @ However, the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose and departed, and came opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him.

nkjv@Judges:19:11 @ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, "Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it."

nkjv@Judges:19:12 @ But his master said to him, "We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah."

nkjv@Judges:19:14 @ And they passed by and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.

nkjv@Judges:19:15 @ They turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into his house to spend the night.

nkjv@Judges:19:16 @ Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was staying in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.

nkjv@Judges:19:18 @ So he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah toward the remote mountains of Ephraim; I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; now I am going to the house of the LORD. But there is no one who will take me into his house,

nkjv@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

nkjv@Judges:19:22 @ As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!"

nkjv@Judges:19:23 @ But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage.

nkjv@Judges:19:24 @ Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man's concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!"

nkjv@Judges:19:26 @ Then the woman came as the day was dawning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.

nkjv@Judges:19:27 @ When her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, there was his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.

nkjv@Judges:19:28 @ And he said to her, "Get up and let us be going." But there was no answer. So the man lifted her onto the donkey; and the man got up and went to his place.

nkjv@Judges:19:30 @ And so it was that all who saw it said, "No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day. Consider it, confer, and speak up!"

nkjv@Judges:20:1 @ So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:20:2 @ And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword.

nkjv@Judges:20:4 @ So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to spend the night.

nkjv@Judges:20:8 @ So all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house;

nkjv@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united together as one man.

nkjv@Judges:20:12 @ Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?

nkjv@Judges:20:23 @ Then the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until evening, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, "Shall I again draw near for battle against the children of my brother Benjamin?" And the LORD said, "Go up against him."

nkjv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the children of Israel, that is, all the people, went up and came to the house of God and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:20:27 @ So the children of Israel inquired of the LORD (the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

nkjv@Judges:20:28 @ and Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days), saying, "Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of my brother Benjamin, or shall I cease?" And the LORD said, "Go up, for tomorrow I will deliver them into your hand."

nkjv@Judges:20:30 @ And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.

nkjv@Judges:20:31 @ So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:32 @ And the children of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as at first." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways."

nkjv@Judges:20:34 @ And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.

nkjv@Judges:20:38 @ Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,

nkjv@Judges:20:39 @ whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

nkjv@Judges:20:40 @ But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and there was the whole city going up in smoke to heaven.

nkjv@Judges:20:41 @ And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin panicked, for they saw that disaster had come upon them.

nkjv@Judges:20:43 @ They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the east.

nkjv@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword--from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to.

nkjv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:21:3 @ and said, "O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:21:4 @ So it was, on the next morning, that the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

nkjv@Judges:21:5 @ The children of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?" For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nkjv@Judges:21:7 @ What shall we do for wives for those who remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them our daughters as wives?"

nkjv@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, "What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the LORD?" And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.

nkjv@Judges:21:9 @ For when the people were counted, indeed, not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead was there.

nkjv@Judges:21:11 @ And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man intimately."

nkjv@Judges:21:19 @ Then they said, "In fact, there is a yearly feast of the LORD in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah."

nkjv@Judges:21:22 @ Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, "Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath."'

nkjv@Judges:21:25 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

nkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.

nkjv@Ruth:1:3 @ Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:4 @ Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.

nkjv@Ruth:1:7 @ Therefore she went out from the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

nkjv@Ruth:1:8 @ And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each to her mother's house. The LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

nkjv@Ruth:1:13 @ would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me!"

nkjv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law."

nkjv@Ruth:1:18 @ When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.

nkjv@Ruth:1:19 @ Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nkjv@Ruth:1:20 @ But she said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nkjv@Ruth:1:21 @ I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:1 @ There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.

nkjv@Ruth:2:2 @ So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."

nkjv@Ruth:2:3 @ Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:6 @ So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, "It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab.

nkjv@Ruth:2:7 @ And she said, "Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house."

nkjv@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before.

nkjv@Ruth:2:14 @ Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and kept some back.

nkjv@Ruth:2:17 @ So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.

nkjv@Ruth:2:20 @ Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead!" And Naomi said to her, "This man is a relation of ours, one of our close relatives."

nkjv@Ruth:3:3 @ Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

nkjv@Ruth:3:7 @ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

nkjv@Ruth:3:8 @ Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet.

nkjv@Ruth:3:13 @ Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will perform the duty of a close relative for you--good; let him do it. But if he does not want to perform the duty for you, then I will perform the duty for you, as the LORD lives! Lie down until morning."

nkjv@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, "Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it." And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nkjv@Ruth:3:18 @ Then she said, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:1 @ Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, "Come aside, friend, sit down here." So he came aside and sat down.

nkjv@Ruth:4:3 @ Then he said to the close relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

nkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:2 @ And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:3 @ This man went up from his city yearly to worship and sacrifice to the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. Also the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:7 @ So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:9 @ So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:10 @ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:12 @ And it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:13 @ Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then Eli answered and said, "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, "Let your maidservant find favor in your sight." So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:24 @ Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, "O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I also have lent him to the LORD; as long as he lives he shall be lent to the LORD." So they worshiped the LORD there.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:5 @ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. "For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, And He has set the world upon them.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, "They should really burn the fat first; then you may take as much as your heart desires," he would then answer him, "No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:17 @ Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:18 @ But Samuel ministered before the LORD, even as a child, wearing a linen ephod.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you descendants from this woman for the loan that was given to the LORD." Then they would go to their own home.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:34 @ Now this shall be a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, "Please, put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.""'

nkjv@1Samuel:3:1 @ Now the boy Samuel ministered to the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

nkjv@1Samuel:3:3 @ and before the lamp of God went out in the tabernacle of the LORD where the ark of God was, and while Samuel was lying down,

nkjv@1Samuel:3:7 @ (Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, nor was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.)

nkjv@1Samuel:3:10 @ Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:15 @ So Samuel lay down until morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel was afraid to tell Eli the vision.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, "What is the word that the LORD spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:19 @ So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew that Samuel had been established as a prophet of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:2 @ Then the Philistines put themselves in battle array against Israel. And when they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:4 @ So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, who dwells between the cherubim. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:7 @ So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp!" And they said, "Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:9 @ Be strong and conduct yourselves like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!"

nkjv@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:11 @ Also the ark of God was captured; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:13 @ Now when he came, there was Eli, sitting on a seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it, all the city cried out.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:15 @ Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes were so dim that he could not see.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:17 @ So the messenger answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:18 @ Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:21 @ Then she named the child Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel!" because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured."

nkjv@1Samuel:5:1 @ Then the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when the people of Ashdod arose early in the morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set it in its place again.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:4 @ And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon's torso was left of it.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:6 @ But the hand of the LORD was heavy on the people of Ashdod, and He ravaged them and struck them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god."

nkjv@1Samuel:5:9 @ So it was, after they had carried it away, that the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out on them.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!"

nkjv@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, "Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people." For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:1 @ Now the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:3 @ So they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:4 @ Then they said, "What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:6 @ Why then do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When He did mighty things among them, did they not let the people go, that they might depart?

nkjv@1Samuel:6:8 @ Then take the ark of the LORD and set it on the cart; and put the articles of gold which you are returning to Him as a trespass offering in a chest by its side. Then send it away, and let it go.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:9 @ And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us--it happened to us by chance."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:12 @ Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:14 @ Then the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there; a large stone was there. So they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:15 @ The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:17 @ These are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering to the LORD: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

nkjv@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:2 @ So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim a long time; it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:3 @ Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, "If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:4 @ So the children of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and served the LORD only.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:6 @ So they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before the LORD. And they fasted that day, and said there, "We have sinned against the LORD." And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:8 @ So the children of Israel said to Samuel, "Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:9 @ And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:10 @ Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:12 @ Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:14 @ Then the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territory from the hands of the Philistines. Also there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:1 @ Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:3 @ But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:6 @ But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." So Samuel prayed to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:10 @ So Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who asked him for a king.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:1 @ There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:2 @ And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul's father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, "Please take one of the servants with you, and arise, go and look for the donkeys."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:4 @ So he passed through the mountains of Ephraim and through the land of Shalisha, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:5 @ When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the donkeys and become worried about us."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him, "Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

nkjv@1Samuel:9:10 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:11 @ As they went up the hill to the city, they met some young women going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:14 @ So they went up to the city. As they were coming into the city, there was Samuel, coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:18 @ Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me, where is the seer's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:20 @ But as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not be anxious about them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:26 @ They arose early; and it was about the dawning of the day that Samuel called to Saul on the top of the house, saying, "Get up, that I may send you on your way." And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:27 @ As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, "Tell the servant to go on ahead of us." And he went on. "But you stand here awhile, that I may announce to you the word of God."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:1 @ Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: "Is it not because the LORD has anointed you commander over His inheritance?

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:9 @ So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:10 @ When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:15 @ And Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:20 @ And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:21 @ When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:22 @ Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, "Has the man come here yet?" And the LORD answered, "There he is, hidden among the equipment."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:23 @ So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:24 @ And Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see him whom the LORD has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people?" So all the people shouted and said, "Long live the king!"

nkjv@1Samuel:11:1 @ Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:2 @ And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:5 @ Now there was Saul, coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, "What troubles the people, that they weep?" And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:6 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:11 @ So it was, on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:7 @ Now therefore, stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD concerning all the righteous acts of the LORD which He did to you and your fathers:

nkjv@1Samuel:12:10 @ Then they cried out to the LORD, and said, "We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD and served the Baals and Ashtoreths; but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.'

nkjv@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, "No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:13 @ "Now therefore, here is the king whom you have chosen and whom you have desired. And take note, the LORD has set a king over you.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:15 @ However, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is today not the wheat harvest? I will call to the LORD, and He will send thunder and rain, that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking a king for yourselves."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, "Pray for your servants to the LORD your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins the evil of asking a king for ourselves."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:20 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Do not fear. You have done all this wickedness; yet do not turn aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:21 @ And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:23 @ Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:24 @ Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan attacked the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. Then Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear!"

nkjv@1Samuel:13:5 @ Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:7 @ And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:10 @ Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,

nkjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:16 @ Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people present with them remained in Gibeah of Benjamin. But the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, "Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:21 @ and the charge for a sharpening was a pim for the plowshares, the mattocks, the forks, and the axes, and to set the points of the goads.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:14 @ That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about half an acre of land.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:16 @ Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they went here and there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, "Now call the roll and see who has gone from us." And when they had called the roll, surprisingly, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).

nkjv@1Samuel:14:19 @ Now it happened, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise which was in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase; so Saul said to the priest, "Withdraw your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:20 @ Then Saul and all the people who were with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and indeed every man's sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:25 @ Now all the people of the land came to a forest; and there was honey on the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his countenance brightened.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:29 @ But Jonathan said, "My father has troubled the land. Look now, how my countenance has brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:31 @ Now they had driven back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. So the people were very faint.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:35 @ Then Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:37 @ So Saul asked counsel of God, "Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But He did not answer him that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die." But not a man among all the people answered him.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:42 @ And Saul said, "Cast lots between my son Jonathan and me." So Jonathan was taken.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. So now I must die!"

nkjv@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, "Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Certainly not! As the LORD lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day." So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul established his sovereignty over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, against the people of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he harassed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:50 @ The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:51 @ Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:52 @ Now there was fierce war with the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant man, he took him for himself.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments." And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the LORD all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:12 @ So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, "Be quiet! And I will tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him, "Speak on."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:22 @ So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:26 @ But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:28 @ So Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then Samuel said, "Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me." So Agag came to him cautiously. And Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:33 @ But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:6 @ So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before Him!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:8 @ So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, "Neither has the LORD chosen this one."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:10 @ Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen these."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:12 @ So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our master now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who is a skillful player on the harp. And it shall be that he will play it with his hand when the distressing spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:22 @ Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:4 @ And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:5 @ He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:7 @ Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:14 @ David was the youngest. And the three oldest followed Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:15 @ But David occasionally went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:20 @ So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:23 @ Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:25 @ So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:30 @ Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:36 @ Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:39 @ David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them." So David took them off.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:42 @ And when the Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:44 @ And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:47 @ Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD's, and He will give you into our hands."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:48 @ So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:51 @ Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:52 @ Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:53 @ Then the children of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines, and they plundered their tents.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:55 @ When Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, "Abner, whose son is this youth?" And Abner said, "As your soul lives, O king, I do not know."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:57 @ Then, as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:1 @ Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:5 @ So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:6 @ Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:7 @ So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:8 @ Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul's hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:11 @ And Saul cast the spear, for he said, "I will pin David to the wall!" But David escaped his presence twice.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:12 @ Now Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, but had departed from Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and the LORD was with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:15 @ Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:17 @ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Communicate with David secretly, and say, "Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king's son-in-law."'

nkjv@1Samuel:18:26 @ So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king's son-in-law. Now the days had not expired;

nkjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:28 @ Thus Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved him;

nkjv@1Samuel:18:29 @ and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David's enemy continually.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:2 @ So Jonathan told David, saying, "My father Saul seeks to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:4 @ Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:6 @ So Saul heeded the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be killed."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:7 @ Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from him.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Now the distressing spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats' hair for his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Then Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, "Let me go! Why should I kill you?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:19:19 @ Now it was told Saul, saying, "Take note, David is at Naioth in Ramah!"

nkjv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:21 @ And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:23 @ So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:3 @ Then David took an oath again, and said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, "Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

nkjv@1Samuel:20:9 @ But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:13 @ may the LORD do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it pleases my father to do you evil, then I will report it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And the LORD be with you as He has been with my father.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:15 @ but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when the LORD has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:17 @ Now Jonathan again caused David to vow, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:20 @ Then I will shoot three arrows to the side, as though I shot at a target;

nkjv@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say thus to the young man, "Look, the arrows are beyond you'--go your way, for the LORD has sent you away.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the LORD be between you and me forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:24 @ Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:25 @ Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:28 @ So Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nkjv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:33 @ Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:35 @ And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:36 @ Then he said to his lad, "Now run, find the arrows which I shoot." As the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:37 @ When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:41 @ As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David and said, "There is no common bread on hand; but there is holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread which had been taken from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of Achish said to him, "Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:12 @ Now David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:2 @ And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:4 @ So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:6 @ When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered--now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him--

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, "I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:14 @ So Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:22 @ So David said to Abiathar, "I knew that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of all the persons of your father's house.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:7 @ And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:13 @ So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:15 @ So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, for you have compassion on me.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:22 @ Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:1 @ Now it happened, when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Take note! David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:3 @ So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. (David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.)

nkjv@1Samuel:24:4 @ Then the men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:13 @ As the proverb of the ancients says, "Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.' But my hand shall not be against you.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:14 @ After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:15 @ Therefore let the LORD be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:16 @ So it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:17 @ Then he said to David: "You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:2 @ Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:3 @ The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:4 @ When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:7 @ Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David."'

nkjv@1Samuel:25:10 @ Then Nabal answered David's servants, and said, "Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:14 @ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:15 @ But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already dressed, five seahs of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:20 @ So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:24 @ So she fell at his feet and said: "On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, since the LORD has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now then, let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:28 @ Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant. For the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil is not found in you throughout your days.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:29 @ Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:36 @ Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:37 @ So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:39 @ So when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, "Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For the LORD has returned the wickedness of Nabal on his own head." And David sent and proposed to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:40 @ When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, "David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:41 @ Then she arose, bowed her face to the earth, and said, "Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:42 @ So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:44 @ But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:10 @ David said furthermore, "As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:11 @ The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD's anointed. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:12 @ So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul's head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not guarded your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, "Go, serve other gods.'

nkjv@1Samuel:26:20 @ So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, "I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have played the fool and erred exceedingly."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:24 @ And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:4 @ And it was told Saul that David had fled to Gath; so he sought him no more.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:7 @ Now the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:11 @ David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, "Lest they should inform on us, saying, "Thus David did."' And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:12 @ So Achish believed David, saying, "He has made his people Israel utterly abhor him; therefore he will be my servant forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:5 @ When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:9 @ Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:13 @ And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What did you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:14 @ So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:16 @ Then Samuel said: "So why do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy?

nkjv@1Samuel:28:17 @ And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:21 @ And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, "Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:24 @ Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house, and she hastened to kill it. And she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread from it.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:2 @ And the lords of the Philistines passed in review by hundreds and by thousands, but David and his men passed in review at the rear with Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:3 @ Then the princes of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is this not David, of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands'?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:7 @ Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:8 @ So David said to Achish, "But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nkjv@1Samuel:29:9 @ Then Achish answered and said to David, "I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, "He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

nkjv@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:3 @ So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:6 @ Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:7 @ Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, "Please bring the ephod here to me." And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:13 @ Then David said to him, "To whom do you belong, and where are you from?" And he said, "I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because three days ago I fell sick.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:14 @ We made an invasion of the southern area of the Cherethites, in the territory which belongs to Judah, and of the southern area of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, "Can you take me down to this troop?" So he said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this troop."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:19 @ And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:23 @ But David said, "My brethren, you shall not do so with what the LORD has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:24 @ For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:25 @ So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:30 @ those who were in Hormah, those who were in Chorashan, those who were in Athach,

nkjv@1Samuel:31:3 @ The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:5 @ And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:10 @ Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:13 @ Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

nkjv@2Samuel:1:2 @ on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:4 @ Then David said to him, "How did the matter go? Please tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:6 @ Then the young man who told him said, "As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:9 @ He said to me again, "Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I stood over him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:12 @ And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of the LORD and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:14 @ So David said to him, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:1:16 @ So David said to him, "Your blood is on your own head, for your own mouth has testified against you, saying, "I have killed the LORD's anointed."'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:18 @ and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher:

nkjv@2Samuel:1:20 @ Tell it not in Gath, Proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon-- Lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, Lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:21 @ "O mountains of Gilboa, Let there be no dew nor rain upon you, Nor fields of offerings. For the shield of the mighty is cast away there! The shield of Saul, not anointed with oil.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me; Your love to me was wonderful, Surpassing the love of women.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:7 @ Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:9 @ and he made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:10 @ Ishbosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:11 @ And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:16 @ And each one grasped his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called the Field of Sharp Swords, which is in Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:17 @ So there was a very fierce battle that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:18 @ Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:19 @ So Asahel pursued Abner, and in going he did not turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:20 @ Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Are you Asahel?" He answered, "I am."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:22 @ So Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?"

nkjv@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:24 @ Joab and Abishai also pursued Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the road to the Wilderness of Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:27 @ And Joab said, "As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then by morning all the people would have given up pursuing their brethren."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:30 @ So Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:32 @ Then they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:1 @ Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:2 @ Sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

nkjv@2Samuel:3:6 @ Now it was so, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was strengthening his hold on the house of Saul.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:7 @ And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?"

nkjv@2Samuel:3:9 @ May God do so to Abner, and more also, if I do not do for David as the LORD has sworn to him--

nkjv@2Samuel:3:17 @ Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, "In time past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:18 @ Now then, do it! For the LORD has spoken of David, saying, "By the hand of My servant David, I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and the hand of all their enemies."'

nkjv@2Samuel:3:20 @ So Abner and twenty men with him came to David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:22 @ At that moment the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:23 @ When Joab and all the troops that were with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:24 @ Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone?

nkjv@2Samuel:3:27 @ Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there stabbed him in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:29 @ Let it rest on the head of Joab and on all his father's house; and let there never fail to be in the house of Joab one who has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:30 @ So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:33 @ And the king sang a lament over Abner and said: "Should Abner die as a fool dies?

nkjv@2Samuel:3:34 @ Your hands were not bound Nor your feet put into fetters; As a man falls before wicked men, so you fell." Then all the people wept over him again.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:35 @ And when all the people came to persuade David to eat food while it was still day, David took an oath, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else till the sun goes down!"

nkjv@2Samuel:3:36 @ Now all the people took note of it, and it pleased them, since whatever the king did pleased all the people.

nkjv@2Samuel:4:7 @ For when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedroom; then they struck him and killed him, beheaded him and took his head, and were all night escaping through the plain.

nkjv@2Samuel:4:8 @ And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron, and said to the king, "Here is the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life; and the LORD has avenged my lord the king this day of Saul and his descendants."

nkjv@2Samuel:4:9 @ But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity,

nkjv@2Samuel:5:2 @ Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and the LORD said to you, "You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel."'

nkjv@2Samuel:5:4 @ David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:10 @ So David went on and became great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:11 @ Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built David a house.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:12 @ So David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:20 @ So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:25 @ And David did so, as the LORD commanded him; and he drove back the Philistines from Geba as far as Gezer.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:3 @ So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:4 @ And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:7 @ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:9 @ David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"

nkjv@2Samuel:6:10 @ So David would not move the ark of the LORD with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:12 @ Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God." So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:13 @ And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:14 @ Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:16 @ Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:20 @ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!"

nkjv@2Samuel:6:21 @ So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:22 @ And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor."

nkjv@2Samuel:7:1 @ Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

nkjv@2Samuel:7:10 @ Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

nkjv@2Samuel:7:14 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of men.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:15 @ But My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:19 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O Lord GOD; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:23 @ And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name--and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land--before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

nkjv@2Samuel:7:25 @ "Now, O LORD God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:27 @ For You, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant, saying, "I will build you a house.' Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.

nkjv@2Samuel:7:29 @ Now therefore, let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You, O Lord GOD, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever."

nkjv@2Samuel:8:1 @ After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:2 @ Then he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David's servants, and brought tribute.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:3 @ David also defeated Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his territory at the River Euphrates.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:5 @ When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:16 @ Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

nkjv@2Samuel:8:17 @ Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the scribe;

nkjv@2Samuel:8:18 @ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers.

nkjv@2Samuel:9:2 @ And there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba. So when they had called him to David, the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" He said, "At your service!"

nkjv@2Samuel:9:8 @ Then he bowed himself, and said, "What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?"

nkjv@2Samuel:9:9 @ And the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "I have given to your master's son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.

nkjv@2Samuel:9:10 @ You therefore, and your sons and your servants, shall work the land for him, and you shall bring in the harvest, that your master's son may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth your master's son shall eat bread at my table always." Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

nkjv@2Samuel:9:11 @ Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so will your servant do." "As for Mephibosheth," said the king, "he shall eat at my table like one of the king's sons."

nkjv@2Samuel:9:12 @ Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Micha. And all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.

nkjv@2Samuel:9:13 @ So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king's table. And he was lame in both his feet.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"

nkjv@2Samuel:10:5 @ When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@2Samuel:10:9 @ When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best and put them in battle array against the Syrians.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:17 @ When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:2 @ Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king's house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:4 @ Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:7 @ When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:8 @ And David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet." So Uriah departed from the king's house, and a gift of food from the king followed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:11 @ And Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:16 @ So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:21 @ Who struck Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast a piece of a millstone on him from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you go near the wall?'--then you shall say, "Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."'

nkjv@2Samuel:11:23 @ And the messenger said to David, "Surely the men prevailed against us and came out to us in the field; then we drove them back as far as the entrance of the gate.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:25 @ Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab: "Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city, and overthrow it.' So encourage him."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:26 @ When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:3 @ But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:5 @ So David's anger was greatly aroused against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the LORD lives, the man who has done this shall surely die!

nkjv@2Samuel:12:8 @ I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

nkjv@2Samuel:12:13 @ So David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the LORD." And Nathan said to David, "The LORD also has put away your sin; you shall not die.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:14 @ However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:16 @ David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:18 @ Then on the seventh day it came to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead. For they said, "Indeed, while the child was alive, we spoke to him, and he would not heed our voice. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He may do some harm!"

nkjv@2Samuel:12:19 @ When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:20 @ So David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child died, you arose and ate food."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:22 @ And he said, "While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, "Who can tell whether the LORD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?'

nkjv@2Samuel:12:23 @ But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:30 @ Then he took their king's crown from his head. Its weight was a talent of gold, with precious stones. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:1 @ After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:2 @ Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:3 @ But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother. Now Jonadab was a very crafty man.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:5 @ So Jonadab said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, "Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat it from her hand."'

nkjv@2Samuel:13:6 @ Then Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, "Arise, be gone!"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:19 @ Then Tamar put ashes on her head, and tore her robe of many colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head and went away crying bitterly.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now hold your peace, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart." So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:21 @ But when King David heard of all these things, he was very angry.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:24 @ Then Absalom came to the king and said, "Kindly note, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:26 @ Then Absalom said, "If not, please let my brother Amnon go with us." And the king said to him, "Why should he go with you?"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:29 @ So the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left!"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:32 @ Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:34 @ Then Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted his eyes and looked, and there, many people were coming from the road on the hillside behind him.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jonadab said to the king, "Look, the king's sons are coming; as your servant said, so it is."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:36 @ So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king's sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:38 @ So Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and was there three years.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:39 @ And King David longed to go to Absalom. For he had been comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:1 @ So Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was concerned about Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning a long time for the dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:6 @ Now your maidservant had two sons; and the two fought with each other in the field, and there was no one to part them, but the one struck the other and killed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, "Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also.' So they would extinguish my ember that is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant on the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, and do not permit the avenger of blood to destroy anymore, lest they destroy my son." And he said, "As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:12 @ Therefore the woman said, "Please, let your maidservant speak another word to my lord the king." And he said, "Say on."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:13 @ So the woman said: "Why then have you schemed such a thing against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:17 @ Your maidservant said, "The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the LORD your God be with you."'

nkjv@2Samuel:14:18 @ Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide from me anything that I ask you." And the woman said, "Please, let my lord the king speak."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:19 @ So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman answered and said, "As you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:20 @ To bring about this change of affairs your servant Joab has done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that is in the earth."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:22 @ Then Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and thanked the king. And Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good looks. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he cut the hair of his head--at the end of every year he cut it because it was heavy on him--when he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king's standard.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:27 @ To Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:30 @ So he said to his servants, "See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire." And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:2 @ Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?" And he would say, "Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:3 @ Then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your case is good and right; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:4 @ Moreover Absalom would say, "Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:5 @ And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:7 @ Now it came to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:10 @ Then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, "Absalom reigns in Hebron!"'

nkjv@2Samuel:15:12 @ Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city--from Giloh--while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased in number.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:14 @ So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:18 @ Then all his servants passed before him; and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:21 @ But Ittai answered the king and said, "As the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also your servant will be."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:24 @ There was Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over from the city.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:26 @ But if He says thus: "I have no delight in you,' here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:30 @ So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went up.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:32 @ Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God--there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, "I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father's servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,' then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:1 @ When David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:3 @ Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, "Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me."'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:5 @ Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:8 @ The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:10 @ But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, "Curse David.' Who then shall say, "Why have you done so?"'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:13 @ And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:15 @ Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:16 @ And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:19 @ "Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:20 @ Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give advice as to what we should do."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:21 @ And Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:23 @ Now the advice of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if one had inquired at the oracle of God. So was all the advice of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:4 @ And the saying pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:7 @ So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:12 @ So we will come upon him in some place where he may be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground. And of him and all the men who are with him there shall not be left so much as one.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:13 @ Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city; and we will pull it into the river, until there is not one small stone found there."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:14 @ So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the LORD had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:19 @ Then the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not known.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:21 @ Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, "Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:22 @ So David and all the people who were with him arose and crossed over the Jordan. By morning light not one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:23 @ Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:25 @ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:27 @ Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nkjv@2Samuel:17:28 @ brought beds and basins, earthen vessels and wheat, barley and flour, parched grain and beans, lentils and parched seeds,

nkjv@2Samuel:18:6 @ So the people went out into the field of battle against Israel. And the battle was in the woods of Ephraim.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:8 @ For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:9 @ Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:14 @ Then Joab said, "I cannot linger with you." And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom's heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the woods, and laid a very large heap of stones over him. Then all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:22 @ And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:24 @ Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:28 @ So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:29 @ The king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:30 @ And the king said, "Turn aside and stand here." So he turned aside and stood still.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:31 @ Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "There is good news, my lord the king! For the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:33 @ Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: "O my son Absalom--my son, my son Absalom--if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:1 @ And Joab was told, "Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said that day, "The king is grieved for his son."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:3 @ And the people stole back into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:6 @ in that you love your enemies and hate your friends. For you have declared today that you regard neither princes nor servants; for today I perceive that if Absalom had lived and all of us had died today, then it would have pleased you well.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore, arise, go out and speak comfort to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:9 @ Now all the people were in a dispute throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king saved us from the hand of our enemies, he delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:10 @ But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now therefore, why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:12 @ You are my brethren, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:13 @ And say to Amasa, "Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab."'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:14 @ So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:16 @ And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:24 @ Now Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:25 @ So it was, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:27 @ And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:30 @ Then Mephibosheth said to the king, "Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:32 @ Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided the king with supplies while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:37 @ Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:1 @ And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: "We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:2 @ So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:4 @ And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:8 @ When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:9 @ Then Joab said to Amasa, "Are you in health, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:10 @ But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:11 @ Meanwhile one of Joab's men stood near Amasa, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David--follow Joab!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:12 @ But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:13 @ When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:15 @ Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then a wise woman cried out from the city, "Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, "Come nearby, that I may speak with you."'

nkjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:23 @ And Joab was over all the army of Israel; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

nkjv@2Samuel:20:24 @ Adoram was in charge of revenue; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

nkjv@2Samuel:20:25 @ Sheva was scribe; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests;

nkjv@2Samuel:20:26 @ and Ira the Jairite was a chief minister under David.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:1 @ Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, "It is because of Saul and his bloodthirsty house, because he killed the Gibeonites."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:5 @ Then they answered the king, "As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel,

nkjv@2Samuel:21:7 @ But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:10 @ Now Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:11 @ And David was told what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:16 @ Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:18 @ Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of the giant.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:19 @ Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:20 @ Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also was born to the giant.

nkjv@2Samuel:22:8 @ "Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:1 @ Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; Thus says the man raised up on high, The anointed of the God of Jacob, And the sweet psalmist of Israel:

nkjv@2Samuel:23:2 @ "The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, And His word was on my tongue.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:4 @ And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, A morning without clouds, Like the tender grass springing out of the earth, By clear shining after rain.'

nkjv@2Samuel:23:5 @ "Although my house is not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure. For this is all my salvation and all my desire; Will He not make it increase?

nkjv@2Samuel:23:6 @ But the sons of rebellion shall all be as thorns thrust away, Because they cannot be taken with hands.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:8 @ These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb-Basshebeth the Tachmonite, chief among the captains. He was called Adino the Eznite, because he had killed eight hundred men at one time.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:9 @ And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel had retreated.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:10 @ He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:11 @ And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils. So the people fled from the Philistines.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:14 @ David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:16 @ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:18 @ Now Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:19 @ Was he not the most honored of three? Therefore he became their captain. However, he did not attain to the first three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:20 @ Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man from Kabzeel, who had done many deeds. He had killed two lion-like heroes of Moab. He also had gone down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:23 @ He was more honored than the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:1 @ Again the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, "Go, number Israel and Judah."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:2 @ So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, "Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:7 @ and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:14 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD relented from the destruction, and said to the angel who was destroying the people, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:17 @ Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:19 @ So David, according to the word of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these, O king, Araunah has given to the king." And Araunah said to the king, "May the LORD your God accept you."

nkjv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he was still speaking, there came Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest. And Adonijah said to him, "Come in, for you are a prominent man, and bring good news."

nkjv@1Kings:2:29 @ And King Solomon was told, "Joab has fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; there he is, by the altar." Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, "Go, strike him down."

nkjv@1Kings:2:31 @ Then the king said to him, "Do as he has said, and strike him down and bury him, that you may take away from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood which Joab shed.

nkjv@1Kings:2:32 @ So the LORD will return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword--Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah--though my father David did not know it.

nkjv@1Kings:2:34 @ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and struck and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

nkjv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

nkjv@1Kings:2:41 @ And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back.

nkjv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.

nkjv@1Kings:2:46 @ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:3:2 @ Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.

nkjv@1Kings:3:4 @ Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.

nkjv@1Kings:3:5 @ At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

nkjv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said: "You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

nkjv@1Kings:3:10 @ The speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.

nkjv@1Kings:3:11 @ Then God said to him: "Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,

nkjv@1Kings:3:12 @ behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

nkjv@1Kings:3:13 @ And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.

nkjv@1Kings:3:14 @ So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days."

nkjv@1Kings:3:15 @ Then Solomon awoke; and indeed it had been a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

nkjv@1Kings:3:17 @ And one woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.

nkjv@1Kings:3:18 @ Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house.

nkjv@1Kings:3:21 @ And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, there he was, dead. But when I had examined him in the morning, indeed, he was not my son whom I had borne."

nkjv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him."

nkjv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

nkjv@1Kings:4:1 @ So King Solomon was king over all Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:4:11 @ Ben-Abinadab, in all the regions of Dor; he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife;

nkjv@1Kings:4:12 @ Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;

nkjv@1Kings:4:13 @ Ben-Geber, in Ramoth Gilead; to him belonged the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, in Gilead; to him also belonged the region of Argob in Bashan--sixty large cities with walls and bronze gate-bars;

nkjv@1Kings:4:15 @ Ahimaaz, in Naphtali; he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife;

nkjv@1Kings:4:16 @ Baanah the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;

nkjv@1Kings:4:19 @ Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan. He was the only governor who was in the land.

nkjv@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.

nkjv@1Kings:4:21 @ So Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

nkjv@1Kings:4:22 @ Now Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,

nkjv@1Kings:4:23 @ ten fatted oxen, twenty oxen from the pastures, and one hundred sheep, besides deer, gazelles, roebucks, and fatted fowl.

nkjv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.

nkjv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and largeness of heart like the sand on the seashore.

nkjv@1Kings:4:30 @ Thus Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

nkjv@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all men--than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

nkjv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.

nkjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, "Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name."

nkjv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.

nkjv@1Kings:5:7 @ So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said, 4 Blessed be the LORD this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!

nkjv@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

nkjv@1Kings:5:12 @ So the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty together.

nkjv@1Kings:5:13 @ Then King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.

nkjv@1Kings:5:14 @ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month in shifts: they were one month in Lebanon and two months at home; Adoniram was in charge of the labor force.

nkjv@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come 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.

nkjv@1Kings:6:2 @ Now the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits, its width twenty, and its height thirty cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:6:3 @ The vestibule in front of the sanctuary of the house was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the width of the vestibule extended ten cubits from the front of the house.

nkjv@1Kings:6:6 @ The lowest chamber was five cubits wide, the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for he made narrow ledges around the outside of the temple, so that the support beams would not be fastened into the walls of the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:6:7 @ And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.

nkjv@1Kings:6:8 @ The doorway for the middle story was on the right side of the temple. They went up by stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.

nkjv@1Kings:6:16 @ Then he built the twenty-cubit room at the rear of the temple, from floor to ceiling, with cedar boards; he built it inside as the inner sanctuary, as the Most Holy Place.

nkjv@1Kings:6:17 @ And in front of it the temple sanctuary was forty cubits long.

nkjv@1Kings:6:18 @ The inside of the temple was cedar, carved with ornamental buds and open flowers. All was cedar; there was no stone to be seen.

nkjv@1Kings:6:20 @ The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. He overlaid it with pure gold, and overlaid the altar of cedar.

nkjv@1Kings:6:22 @ The whole temple he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the temple; also he overlaid with gold the entire altar that was by the inner sanctuary.

nkjv@1Kings:6:24 @ One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing of the cherub five cubits: ten cubits from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other.

nkjv@1Kings:6:25 @ And the other cherub was ten cubits; both cherubim were of the same size and shape.

nkjv@1Kings:6:26 @ The height of one cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other cherub.

nkjv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv.

nkjv@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.

nkjv@1Kings:7:2 @ He also built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; its length was one hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, with four rows of cedar pillars, and cedar beams on the pillars.

nkjv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was paneled with cedar above the beams that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.

nkjv@1Kings:7:4 @ There were windows with beveled frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three tiers.

nkjv@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers.

nkjv@1Kings:7:6 @ He also made the Hall of Pillars: its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and in front of them was a portico with pillars, and a canopy was in front of them.

nkjv@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.

nkjv@1Kings:7:8 @ And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the hall, of like workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as wife.

nkjv@1Kings:7:10 @ The foundation was of costly stones, large stones, some ten cubits and some eight cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:7:12 @ The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewn stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house of the LORD and the vestibule of the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

nkjv@1Kings:7:15 @ And he cast two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each.

nkjv@1Kings:7:16 @ Then he made two capitals of cast bronze, to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:7:20 @ The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were two hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.

nkjv@1Kings:7:22 @ The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. So the work of the pillars was finished.

nkjv@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

nkjv@1Kings:7:24 @ Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.

nkjv@1Kings:7:25 @ It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.

nkjv@1Kings:7:26 @ It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained two thousand baths.

nkjv@1Kings:7:27 @ He also made ten carts of bronze; four cubits was the length of each cart, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

nkjv@1Kings:7:28 @ And this was the design of the carts: They had panels, and the panels were between frames;

nkjv@1Kings:7:29 @ on the panels that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. And on the frames was a pedestal on top. Below the lions and oxen were wreaths of plaited work.

nkjv@1Kings:7:30 @ Every cart had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze, and its four feet had supports. Under the laver were supports of cast bronze beside each wreath.

nkjv@1Kings:7:31 @ Its opening inside the crown at the top was one cubit in diameter; and the opening was round, shaped like a pedestal, one and a half cubits in outside diameter; and also on the opening were engravings, but the panels were square, not round.

nkjv@1Kings:7:32 @ Under the panels were the four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the cart. The height of a wheel was one and a half cubits.

nkjv@1Kings:7:33 @ The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel; their axle pins, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all of cast bronze.

nkjv@1Kings:7:35 @ On the top of the cart, at the height of half a cubit, it was perfectly round. And on the top of the cart, its flanges and its panels were of the same casting.

nkjv@1Kings:7:36 @ On the plates of its flanges and on its panels he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was a clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

nkjv@1Kings:7:37 @ Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.

nkjv@1Kings:7:38 @ Then he made ten lavers of bronze; each laver contained forty baths, and each laver was four cubits. On each of the ten carts was a laver.

nkjv@1Kings:7:39 @ And he put five carts on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the Sea on the right side of the house, toward the southeast.

nkjv@1Kings:7:40 @ Huram made the lavers and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of the LORD:

nkjv@1Kings:7:46 @ In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and Zaretan.

nkjv@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon did not weigh all the articles, because there were so many; the weight of the bronze was not determined.

nkjv@1Kings:7:48 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold on which was the showbread;

nkjv@1Kings:7:50 @ the basins, the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner room (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:7:51 @ So all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:8:1 @ Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the City of David, which is Zion.

nkjv@1Kings:8:2 @ Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

nkjv@1Kings:8:5 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

nkjv@1Kings:8:9 @ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets 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.

nkjv@1Kings:8:10 @ And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

nkjv@1Kings:8:14 @ Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

nkjv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:8:17 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nkjv@1Kings:8:20 @ So the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:8:22 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven;

nkjv@1Kings:8:24 @ You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

nkjv@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

nkjv@1Kings:8:36 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

nkjv@1Kings:8:37 @ "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

nkjv@1Kings:8:41 @ "Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a far country for Your name's sake

nkjv@1Kings:8:43 @ hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

nkjv@1Kings:8:50 @ and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and grant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them

nkjv@1Kings:8:53 @ For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD."

nkjv@1Kings:8:54 @ And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, that he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

nkjv@1Kings:8:55 @ Then he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

nkjv@1Kings:8:56 @ "Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.

nkjv@1Kings:8:57 @ May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us,

nkjv@1Kings:8:59 @ And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near the LORD our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,

nkjv@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart therefore be loyal to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day."

nkjv@1Kings:8:64 @ On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

nkjv@1Kings:8:65 @ At that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days--fourteen days.

nkjv@1Kings:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he wanted to do,

nkjv@1Kings:9:2 @ that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

nkjv@1Kings:9:4 @ Now if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

nkjv@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'

nkjv@1Kings:9:7 @ then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight. Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

nkjv@1Kings:9:8 @ And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and will hiss, and say, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

nkjv@1Kings:9:9 @ Then they will answer, "Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore the LORD has brought all this calamity on them."'

nkjv@1Kings:9:11 @ (Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired), that King Solomon then gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

nkjv@1Kings:9:12 @ Then Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.

nkjv@1Kings:9:13 @ So he said, "What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother?" And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nkjv@1Kings:9:16 @ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife.)

nkjv@1Kings:9:21 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:9:25 @ Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the LORD, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:10:2 @ She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nkjv@1Kings:10:3 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for the king that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@1Kings:10:5 @ the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

nkjv@1Kings:10:6 @ Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

nkjv@1Kings:10:7 @ However I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I heard.

nkjv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because the LORD has loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@1Kings:10:10 @ Then she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great quantity, and precious stones. There never again came such abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made steps of the almug wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:10:13 @ Now King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, besides what Solomon had given her according to the royal generosity. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

nkjv@1Kings:10:14 @ The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

nkjv@1Kings:10:17 @ He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:19 @ The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round at the back; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.

nkjv@1Kings:10:21 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:23 @ So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

nkjv@1Kings:10:27 @ The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

nkjv@1Kings:10:29 @ Now a chariot that was imported from Egypt cost six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse one hundred and fifty; and thus, through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

nkjv@1Kings:11:1 @ But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites--

nkjv@1Kings:11:4 @ For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:5 @ For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

nkjv@1Kings:11:6 @ Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@1Kings:11:14 @ Now the LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom.

nkjv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had killed every male in Edom

nkjv@1Kings:11:17 @ that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him. Hadad was still a little child.

nkjv@1Kings:11:19 @ And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, that is, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.

nkjv@1Kings:11:20 @ Then the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.

nkjv@1Kings:11:21 @ So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country."

nkjv@1Kings:11:24 @ So he gathered men to him and became captain over a band of raiders, when David killed those of Zobah. And they went to Damascus and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.

nkjv@1Kings:11:25 @ He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the trouble that Hadad caused); and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

nkjv@1Kings:11:26 @ Then Solomon's servant, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also rebelled against the king.

nkjv@1Kings:11:28 @ The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon, seeing that the young man was industrious, made him the officer over all the labor force of the house of Joseph.

nkjv@1Kings:11:30 @ Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces.

nkjv@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:38 @ Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

nkjv@1Kings:11:40 @ Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:11:42 @ And the period that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

nkjv@1Kings:11:43 @ Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@1Kings:12:2 @ So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt),

nkjv@1Kings:12:3 @ that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:12:11 @ And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"'

nkjv@1Kings:12:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day."

nkjv@1Kings:12:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"

nkjv@1Kings:12:15 @ So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nkjv@1Kings:12:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Kings:12:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

nkjv@1Kings:12:20 @ Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

nkjv@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:12:28 @ Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!"

nkjv@1Kings:12:30 @ Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

nkjv@1Kings:12:31 @ He made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

nkjv@1Kings:12:32 @ Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high places which he had made.

nkjv@1Kings:12:33 @ So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense.

nkjv@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out."

nkjv@1Kings:13:4 @ So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Arrest him!" Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself.

nkjv@1Kings:13:5 @ The altar also was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:13:6 @ Then the king answered and said to the man of God, "Please entreat the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as before.

nkjv@1Kings:13:9 @ For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, "You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:18 @ He said to him, "I too am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, "Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water."' (He was lying to him.)

nkjv@1Kings:13:20 @ Now it happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

nkjv@1Kings:13:23 @ So it was, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, the prophet whom he had brought back.

nkjv@1Kings:13:24 @ When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse.

nkjv@1Kings:13:25 @ And there, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

nkjv@1Kings:13:26 @ Now when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the word of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to him."

nkjv@1Kings:13:30 @ Then he laid the corpse in his own tomb; and they mourned over him, saying, "Alas, my brother!"

nkjv@1Kings:13:31 @ So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

nkjv@1Kings:13:32 @ For the saying which he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass."

nkjv@1Kings:13:33 @ After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

nkjv@1Kings:13:34 @ And this thing was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as to exterminate and destroy it from the face of the earth.

nkjv@1Kings:14:2 @ And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that I would be king over this people.

nkjv@1Kings:14:4 @ And Jeroboam's wife did so; she arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were glazed by reason of his age.

nkjv@1Kings:14:5 @ Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."

nkjv@1Kings:14:6 @ And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news.

nkjv@1Kings:14:8 @ and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes;

nkjv@1Kings:14:9 @ but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back--

nkjv@1Kings:14:10 @ therefore behold! I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every male in Israel, bond and free; I will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away refuse until it is all gone.

nkjv@1Kings:14:21 @ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@1Kings:14:24 @ And there were also perverted persons in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:14:26 @ And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took away everything. He also took away all the gold shields which Solomon had made.

nkjv@1Kings:15:13 @ Also he removed Maachah his grandmother from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah. And Asa cut down her obscene image and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

nkjv@1Kings:15:14 @ But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa's heart was loyal to the LORD all his days.

nkjv@1Kings:15:16 @ Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

nkjv@1Kings:15:17 @ And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

nkjv@1Kings:15:18 @ Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the treasuries of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants.

nkjv@1Kings:15:21 @ Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah, and remained in Tirzah.

nkjv@1Kings:15:22 @ Then King Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted. And they took away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them King Asa built Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

nkjv@1Kings:19:13 @ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:15 @ Then the LORD said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

nkjv@1Kings:19:16 @ Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

nkjv@1Kings:19:18 @ Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."

nkjv@1Kings:19:19 @ So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.

nkjv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

nkjv@1Kings:20:4 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, "My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have are yours."

nkjv@1Kings:20:6 @ but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hands and take it."'

nkjv@1Kings:20:7 @ So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him."

nkjv@1Kings:20:11 @ So the king of Israel answered and said, "Tell him, "Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off."'

nkjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the command post, that he said to his servants, "Get ready." And they got ready to attack the city.

nkjv@1Kings:20:26 @ So it was, in the spring of the year, that Ben-Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:20:29 @ And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians in one day.

nkjv@1Kings:20:31 @ Then his servants said to him, "Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life."

nkjv@1Kings:20:32 @ So they wore sackcloth around their waists and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says, "Please let me live."' And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

nkjv@1Kings:20:33 @ Now the men were watching closely to see whether any sign of mercy would come from him; and they quickly grasped at this word and said, "Your brother Ben-Hadad." So he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-Hadad came out to him; and he had him come up into the chariot.

nkjv@1Kings:20:34 @ So Ben-Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you may set up marketplaces for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria." Then Ahab said, "I will send you away with this treaty." So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.

nkjv@1Kings:20:35 @ Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Strike me, please." And the man refused to strike him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:36 @ Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you." And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:37 @ And he found another man, and said, "Strike me, please." So the man struck him, inflicting a wound.

nkjv@1Kings:20:39 @ Now as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, "Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

nkjv@1Kings:20:40 @ While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." Then the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

nkjv@1Kings:20:41 @ And he hastened to take the bandage away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.

nkjv@1Kings:20:43 @ So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.

nkjv@1Kings:21:1 @ And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

nkjv@1Kings:21:4 @ So Ahab went into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

nkjv@1Kings:21:6 @ He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, "Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' And he answered, "I will not give you my vineyard."'

nkjv@1Kings:21:9 @ She wrote in the letters, saying, 4 Proclaim a fast, and seat Naboth with high honor among the people;

nkjv@1Kings:21:10 @ and seat two men, scoundrels, before him to bear witness against him, saying, You have blasphemed God and the king. Then take him out, and stone him, that he may die.

nkjv@1Kings:21:11 @ So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

nkjv@1Kings:21:12 @ They proclaimed a fast, and seated Naboth with high honor among the people.

nkjv@1Kings:21:13 @ And two men, scoundrels, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!" Then they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.

nkjv@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, "Naboth has been stoned and is dead."

nkjv@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."

nkjv@1Kings:21:16 @ So it was, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

nkjv@1Kings:21:18 @ "Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. There he is, in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

nkjv@1Kings:21:22 @ I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.'

nkjv@1Kings:21:25 @ But there was no one like Ahab who sold himself to do wickedness in the sight of the LORD, because Jezebel his wife stirred him up.

nkjv@1Kings:21:26 @ And he behaved very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:21:27 @ So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and went about mourning.

nkjv@1Kings:21:29 @ "See how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days. In the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house."

nkjv@1Kings:22:1 @ Now three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:22:2 @ Then it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:22:4 @ So he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead?" Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nkjv@1Kings:22:5 @ Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of the LORD today."

nkjv@1Kings:22:13 @ Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement."

nkjv@1Kings:22:14 @ And Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever the LORD says to me, that I will speak."

nkjv@1Kings:22:17 @ Then he said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, "These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace."'

nkjv@1Kings:22:23 @ Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you."

nkjv@1Kings:22:26 @ So the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nkjv@1Kings:22:28 @ But Micaiah said, "If you ever return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Take heed, all you people!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:32 @ So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "Surely it is the king of Israel!" Therefore they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

nkjv@1Kings:22:33 @ And it happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

nkjv@1Kings:22:35 @ The battle increased that day; and the king was propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out from the wound onto the floor of the chariot.

nkjv@1Kings:22:36 @ Then, as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the army, saying, "Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!"

nkjv@1Kings:22:37 @ So the king died, and was brought to Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.

nkjv@1Kings:22:38 @ Then someone washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood while the harlots bathed, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken.

nkjv@1Kings:22:41 @ Jehoshaphat the son of Asa had become king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

nkjv@1Kings:22:42 @ Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nkjv@1Kings:22:43 @ And he walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of the LORD. Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

nkjv@1Kings:22:46 @ And the rest of the perverted persons, who remained in the days of his father Asa, he banished from the land.

nkjv@1Kings:22:47 @ There was then no king in Edom, only a deputy of the king.

nkjv@1Kings:22:50 @ And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Kings:1:2 @ Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was injured; so he sent messengers and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury."

nkjv@2Kings:1:7 @ Then he said to them, "What kind of man was it who came up to meet you and told you these words?"

nkjv@2Kings:1:9 @ Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men. So he went up to him; and there he was, sitting on the top of a hill. And he spoke to him: "Man of God, the king has said, "Come down!"'

nkjv@2Kings:1:11 @ Then he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty men. And he answered and said to him: "Man of God, thus has the king said, "Come down quickly!"'

nkjv@2Kings:1:13 @ Again, he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and pleaded with him, and said to him: "Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.

nkjv@2Kings:1:14 @ Look, fire has come down from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifties with their fifties. But let my life now be precious in your sight."

nkjv@2Kings:2:1 @ And it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

nkjv@2Kings:2:2 @ Then Elijah said to Elisha, "Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So they went down to Bethel.

nkjv@2Kings:2:3 @ Now the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" And he said, "Yes, I know; keep silent!"

nkjv@2Kings:2:4 @ Then Elijah said to him, "Elisha, stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So they came to Jericho.

nkjv@2Kings:2:5 @ Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?" So he answered, "Yes, I know; keep silent!"

nkjv@2Kings:2:6 @ Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." But he said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So the two of them went on.

nkjv@2Kings:2:8 @ Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

nkjv@2Kings:2:9 @ And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."

nkjv@2Kings:2:10 @ So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

nkjv@2Kings:2:11 @ Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

nkjv@2Kings:2:14 @ Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

nkjv@2Kings:2:16 @ Then they said to him, "Look now, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Please let them go and search for your master, lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send anyone."

nkjv@2Kings:2:17 @ But when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, "Send them!" Therefore they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days but did not find him.

nkjv@2Kings:2:19 @ Then the men of the city said to Elisha, "Please notice, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren."

nkjv@2Kings:2:21 @ Then he went out to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there, and said, "Thus says the LORD: "I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness."'

nkjv@2Kings:2:23 @ Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!"

nkjv@2Kings:3:4 @ Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheepbreeder, and he regularly paid the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.

nkjv@2Kings:3:7 @ Then he went and sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?" And he said, "I will go up; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nkjv@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched on that roundabout route seven days; and there was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.

nkjv@2Kings:3:10 @ And the king of Israel said, "Alas! For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."

nkjv@2Kings:3:13 @ Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother." But the king of Israel said to him, "No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."

nkjv@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.

nkjv@2Kings:3:20 @ Now it happened in the morning, when the grain offering was offered, that suddenly water came by way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.

nkjv@2Kings:3:22 @ Then they rose up early in the morning, and the sun was shining on the water; and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood.

nkjv@2Kings:3:25 @ Then they destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees. But they left the stones of Kir Haraseth intact. However the slingers surrounded and attacked it.

nkjv@2Kings:3:26 @ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.

nkjv@2Kings:3:27 @ Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to their own land.

nkjv@2Kings:4:2 @ So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."

nkjv@2Kings:4:4 @ And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones."

nkjv@2Kings:4:6 @ Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So the oil ceased.

nkjv@2Kings:4:8 @ Now it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food.

nkjv@2Kings:4:9 @ And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly.

nkjv@2Kings:4:10 @ Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there."

nkjv@2Kings:4:14 @ So he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."

nkjv@2Kings:4:22 @ Then she called to her husband, and said, "Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back."

nkjv@2Kings:4:25 @ And so she departed, and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, the Shunammite woman!

nkjv@2Kings:4:26 @ Please run now to meet her, and say to her, "Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?"' And she answered, "It is well."

nkjv@2Kings:4:27 @ Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, "Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me."

nkjv@2Kings:4:28 @ So she said, "Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, "Do not deceive me'?"

nkjv@2Kings:4:30 @ And the mother of the child said, "As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.

nkjv@2Kings:4:31 @ Now Gehazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child has not awakened."

nkjv@2Kings:4:32 @ When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed.

nkjv@2Kings:4:38 @ And Elisha returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. Now the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."

nkjv@2Kings:4:40 @ Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat it.

nkjv@2Kings:4:41 @ So he said, "Then bring some flour." And he put it into the pot, and said, "Serve it to the people, that they may eat." And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

nkjv@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.

nkjv@2Kings:5:3 @ Then she said to her mistress, "If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy."

nkjv@2Kings:5:4 @ And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, "Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel."

nkjv@2Kings:5:7 @ And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me."

nkjv@2Kings:5:8 @ So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

nkjv@2Kings:5:10 @ And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean."

nkjv@2Kings:5:12 @ Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.

nkjv@2Kings:5:13 @ And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, "Wash, and be clean'?"

nkjv@2Kings:5:14 @ So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

nkjv@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, "Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant."

nkjv@2Kings:5:16 @ But he said, "As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing." And he urged him to take it, but he refused.

nkjv@2Kings:5:17 @ So Naaman said, "Then, if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth; for your servant will no longer offer either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:5:18 @ Yet in this thing may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD please pardon your servant in this thing."

nkjv@2Kings:5:20 @ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nkjv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, "Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments."'

nkjv@2Kings:5:23 @ So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him.

nkjv@2Kings:5:25 @ Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere."

nkjv@2Kings:5:27 @ Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever." And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.

nkjv@2Kings:6:2 @ Please, let us go to the Jordan, and let every man take a beam from there, and let us make there a place where we may dwell." So he answered, "Go."

nkjv@2Kings:6:3 @ Then one said, "Please consent to go with your servants." And he answered, "I will go."

nkjv@2Kings:6:5 @ But as one was cutting down a tree, the iron ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, "Alas, master! For it was borrowed."

nkjv@2Kings:6:8 @ Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel; and he consulted with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."

nkjv@2Kings:6:9 @ And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there."

nkjv@2Kings:6:10 @ Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful there, not just once or twice.

nkjv@2Kings:6:11 @ Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, "Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"

nkjv@2Kings:6:13 @ So he said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." And it was told him, saying, "Surely he is in Dothan."

nkjv@2Kings:6:15 @ And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"

nkjv@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

nkjv@2Kings:6:20 @ So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!

nkjv@2Kings:6:22 @ But he answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master."

nkjv@2Kings:6:23 @ Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:6:25 @ And there was a great famine in Samaria; and indeed they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and one-fourth of a kab of dove droppings for five shekels of silver.

nkjv@2Kings:6:26 @ Then, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king!"

nkjv@2Kings:6:29 @ So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, "Give your son, that we may eat him'; but she has hidden her son."

nkjv@2Kings:6:30 @ Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and there underneath he had sackcloth on his body.

nkjv@2Kings:6:32 @ But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nkjv@2Kings:6:33 @ And while he was still talking with them, there was the messenger, coming down to him; and then the king said, "Surely this calamity is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?"

nkjv@2Kings:7:5 @ And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.

nkjv@2Kings:7:6 @ For the LORD had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses--the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, "Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!"

nkjv@2Kings:7:10 @ So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, saying, "We went to the Syrian camp, and surprisingly no one was there, not a human sound--only horses and donkeys tied, and the tents intact."

nkjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, "Please, let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city. Look, they may either become like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; or indeed, I say, they may become like all the multitude of Israel left from those who are consumed; so let us send them and see."

nkjv@2Kings:7:15 @ And they went after them to the Jordan; and indeed all the road was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and told the king.

nkjv@2Kings:7:16 @ Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Kings:7:17 @ Now the king had appointed the officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. But the people trampled him in the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nkjv@2Kings:7:18 @ So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria."

nkjv@2Kings:8:1 @ Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years."

nkjv@2Kings:8:3 @ It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land.

nkjv@2Kings:8:5 @ Now it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life, appealing to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life."

nkjv@2Kings:8:6 @ And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed a certain officer for her, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now."

nkjv@2Kings:8:10 @ And Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, "You shall certainly recover.' However the LORD has shown me that he will really die."

nkjv@2Kings:8:11 @ Then he set his countenance in a stare until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.

nkjv@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, "Why is my lord weeping?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child."

nkjv@2Kings:8:13 @ So Hazael said, "But what is your servant--a dog, that he should do this gross thing?" And Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will become king over Syria."

nkjv@2Kings:8:14 @ Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me you would surely recover."

nkjv@2Kings:8:24 @ So Joram rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Kings:8:26 @ Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:8:27 @ And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, like the house of Ahab, for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Kings:8:29 @ Then King Joram went back to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nkjv@2Kings:9:1 @ And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Get yourself ready, take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:15 @ These are the ones who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it had overflowed all its banks; and they put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:18 @ Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:19 @ And some from Manasseh defected to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away by agreement, saying, "He may defect to his master Saul and endanger our heads."

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:20 @ When he went to Ziklag, those of Manasseh who defected to him were Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, captains of the thousands who were from Manasseh.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:22 @ For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:31 @ of the half-tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand, who were designated by name to come and make David king;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:36 @ of Asher, those who could go out to war, able to keep battle formation, forty thousand;

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:37 @ of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, from the other side of the Jordan, one hundred and twenty thousand armed for battle with every kind of weapon of war.

nkjv@1Chronicles:12:40 @ Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen--provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:2 @ And David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us;

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:4 @ Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:5 @ So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:10 @ Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:12 @ David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:1 @ Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:2 @ So David knew that the LORD had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom was highly exalted for the sake of His people Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water." Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Chronicles:14:16 @ So David did as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said, "No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever."

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:4 @ Then David assembled the children of Aaron and the Levites:

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:6 @ of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and two hundred and twenty of his brethren;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:11 @ And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites: for Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:17 @ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of their brethren, the sons of Merari, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:18 @ and with them their brethren of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:19 @ the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:20 @ Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:22 @ Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor in charge of the music, because he was skillful;

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:24 @ Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:26 @ And so it was, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:27 @ David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.

nkjv@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music; and she despised him in her heart.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:5 @ Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:7 @ On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD:

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:17 @ And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:18 @ Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,"

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;

nkjv@1Chronicles:16:39 @ and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place that was at Gibeon,

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains."

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:9 @ Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously,

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people--to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:23 @ "And now, O LORD, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For You, O my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray before You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:27 @ Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue before You forever; for You have blessed it, O LORD, and it shall be blessed forever."

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:1 @ After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:3 @ And David defeated Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his power by the River Euphrates.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:5 @ When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:15 @ Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the army; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:16 @ Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:17 @ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief ministers at the king's side.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:1 @ It happened after this that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:10 @ When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best, and put them in battle array against the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:17 @ When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ Then David took their king's crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David's head. Also he brought out the spoil of the city in great abundance.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:4 @ Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:5 @ Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:6 @ Yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But he did not count Levi and Benjamin among them, for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, the LORD looked and relented of the disaster, and said to the angel who was destroying, "It is enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to inquire of God, for he was afraid of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:2 @ So David commanded to gather the aliens who were in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:3 @ And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance beyond measure,

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:7 @ And David said to Solomon: "My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house to the name of the LORD my God;

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, may the LORD be with you; and may you prosper, and build the house of the LORD your God, as He has said to you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ Indeed I have taken much trouble to prepare for the house of the LORD one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond measure, for it is so abundant. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:18 @ "Is not the LORD your God with you? And has He not given you rest on every side? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land is subdued before the LORD and before His people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:1 @ So when David was old and full of days, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:3 @ Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and above; and the number of individual males was thirty-eight thousand.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:11 @ Jahath was the first and Zizah the second. But Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons; therefore they were assigned as one father's house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was set apart, he and his sons forever, that he should sanctify the most holy things, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him, and to give the blessing in His name forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:16 @ Of the sons of Gershon, Shebuel was the first.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:17 @ Of the descendants of Eliezer, Rehabiah was the first. And Eliezer had no other sons, but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:18 @ Of the sons of Izhar, Shelomith was the first.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:19 @ Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:20 @ Of the sons of Uzziel, Michah was the first and Jesshiah the second.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:22 @ And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters; and their brethren, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:24 @ These were the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses--the heads of the fathers' houses as they were counted individually by the number of their names, who did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and above.

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David said, "The LORD God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem forever";

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:27 @ For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above;

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:28 @ because their duty was to help the sons of Aaron in the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts and in the chambers, in the purifying of all holy things and the work of the service of the house of God,

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:29 @ both with the showbread and the fine flour for the grain offering, with the unleavened cakes and what is baked in the pan, with what is mixed and with all kinds of measures and sizes;

nkjv@1Chronicles:23:31 @ and at every presentation of a burnt offering to the LORD on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons and on the set feasts, by number according to the ordinance governing them, regularly before the LORD;

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:2 @ And Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children; therefore Eleazar and Ithamar ministered as priests.

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:5 @ Thus they were divided by lot, one group as another, for there were officials of the sanctuary and officials of the house of God, from the sons of Eleazar and from the sons of Ithamar.

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:12 @ the eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:19 @ This was the schedule of their service for coming into the house of the LORD according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:21 @ Concerning Rehabiah, of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:23 @ Of the sons of Hebron, Jeriah was the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:24:31 @ These also cast lots just as their brothers the sons of Aaron did, in the presence of King David, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and Levites. The chief fathers did just as their younger brethren.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:1 @ Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service some of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:2 @ Of the sons of Asaph: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asharelah; the sons of Asaph were under the direction of Asaph, who prophesied according to the order of the king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:3 @ Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:4 @ Of Heman, the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-Ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:6 @ All these were under the direction of their father for the music in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the authority of the king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:7 @ So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the LORD, all who were skillful, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:8 @ And they cast lots for their duty, the small as well as the great, the teacher with the student.

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:9 @ Now the first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph; the second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons, twelve;

nkjv@1Chronicles:25:19 @ the twelfth for Hashabiah, his sons and his brethren, twelve;

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:13 @ And they cast lots for each gate, the small as well as the great, according to their father's house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:14 @ The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the North Gate;

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:16 @ To Shuppim and Hosah the lot came out for the West Gate, with the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway--watchman opposite watchman.

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:17 @ On the east were six Levites, on the north four each day, on the south four each day, and for the storehouse two by two.

nkjv@1Chronicles:26:18 @ As for the Parbar on the west, there were four on the highway and two at the Parbar.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:1 @ Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the leaders of Israel: the officers of the tribes and the captains of the divisions who served the king, the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, and the stewards over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officials, the valiant men, and all the mighty men of valor.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:4 @ However the LORD God of Israel chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen Judah to be the ruler. And of the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:5 @ And of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:7 @ Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.'

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:8 @ Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:9 @ "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:10 @ Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it."

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:11 @ Then David gave his son Solomon the plans for the vestibule, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:12 @ and the plans for all that he had by the Spirit, of the courts of the house of the LORD, of all the chambers all around, of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries for the dedicated things;

nkjv@1Chronicles:28:17 @ also pure gold for the forks, the basins, the pitchers of pure gold, and the golden bowls--he gave gold by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls, silver by weight for every bowl;

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:1 @ Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: "My son Solomon, whom alone God has chosen, is young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the temple is not for man but for the LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:3 @ Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver:

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:8 @ And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the LORD, into the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:10 @ Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: "Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:11 @ Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, And You are exalted as head over all.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:14 @ But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:15 @ For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:17 @ I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:20 @ Then David said to all the assembly, "Now bless the LORD your God." So all the assembly blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the LORD and the king.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:23 @ Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:25 @ So the LORD exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:27 @ And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:29:29 @ Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:1 @ Now Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him and exalted him exceedingly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:3 @ Then Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for the tabernacle of meeting with God was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:5 @ Now the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD; Solomon and the assembly sought Him there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:7 @ On that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask! What shall I give you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:11 @ Then God said to Solomon: "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life--but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king--

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the like."

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came to Jerusalem from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tabernacle of meeting, and reigned over Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:1:15 @ Also the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:3 @ Then Solomon sent to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: 4 As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I am building a temple for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to Him, to burn before Him sweet incense, for the continual showbread, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Therefore send me at once a man skillful to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and blue, who has skill to engrave with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:11 @ Then Hiram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: 4 Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Hiram also said: 4 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal house for himself!

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:13 @ And now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram my master craftsman

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:14 @ (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre), skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and blue, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your skillful men and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants.

nkjv@2Chronicles:2:16 @ And we will cut wood from Lebanon, as much as you need; we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:3 @ This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:4 @ And the vestibule that was in front of the sanctuary was twenty cubits long across the width of the house, and the height was one hundred and twenty. He overlaid the inside with pure gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:6 @ And he decorated the house with precious stones for beauty, and the gold was gold from Parvaim.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the Most Holy Place. Its length was according to the width of the house, twenty cubits, and its width twenty cubits. He overlaid it with six hundred talents of fine gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:9 @ The weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold; and he overlaid the upper area with gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:10 @ In the Most Holy Place he made two cherubim, fashioned by carving, and overlaid them with gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:11 @ The wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits in overall length: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub;

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:12 @ one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing also was five cubits, touching the wing of the other cherub.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:15 @ Also he made in front of the temple two pillars thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:3:16 @ He made wreaths of chainwork, as in the inner sanctuary, and put them on top of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates, and put them on the wreaths of chainwork.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:1 @ Moreover he made a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Then he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:3 @ And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:4 @ It stood on twelve oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:5 @ It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained three thousand baths.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:10 @ He set the Sea on the right side, toward the southeast.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:11 @ Then Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:16 @ also the pots, the shovels, the forks--and all their articles Huram his master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and Zeredah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:18 @ And Solomon had all these articles made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:19 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was the showbread;

nkjv@2Chronicles:4:22 @ the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:1 @ So all the work that Solomon had done for the house of the LORD was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:2 @ Now Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD up from the City of David, which is Zion.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:3 @ Therefore all the men of Israel assembled with the king at the feast, which was in the seventh month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:6 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:10 @ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they had come out of Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:11 @ And it came to pass when the priests came out of the Most Holy Place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without keeping to their divisions),

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:12 @ and the Levites who were the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, stood at the east end of the altar, clothed in white linen, having cymbals, stringed instruments and harps, and with them one hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets--

nkjv@2Chronicles:5:13 @ indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever," that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:3 @ Then the king turned around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:4 @ And he said: "Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He spoke with His mouth to my father David, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:7 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:8 @ But the LORD said to my father David, "Whereas it was in your heart to build a temple for My name, you did well in that it was in your heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:10 @ So the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke, and I have filled the position of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised; and I have built the temple for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:12 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:13 @ (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven);

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:15 @ You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:16 @ Therefore, LORD God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk in My law as you have walked before Me.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:27 @ then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:28 @ "When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

nkjv@2Chronicles:6:33 @ then hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this temple which I have built is called by Your name.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:7 @ Furthermore Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:9 @ And on the eighth day they held a sacred assembly, for they observed the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:12 @ Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: "I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:17 @ As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:18 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, "You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:20 @ then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:21 @ "And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land and this house?'

nkjv@2Chronicles:7:22 @ Then they will answer, "Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:1 @ It came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house,

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:8 @ that is, their descendants who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel did not destroy--from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:11 @ Now Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her, for he said, "My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of the LORD has come are holy."

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:13 @ according to the daily rate, offering according to the commandment of Moses, for the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the three appointed yearly feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:14 @ And, according to the order of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their duties (to praise and serve before the priests) as the duty of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for so David the man of God had commanded.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:15 @ They did not depart from the command of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasuries.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:16 @ Now all the work of Solomon was well-ordered from the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.

nkjv@2Chronicles:8:17 @ Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and Elath on the seacoast, in the land of Edom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:1 @ Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with hard questions, having a very great retinue, camels that bore spices, gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:2 @ So Solomon answered all her questions; there was nothing so difficult for Solomon that he could not explain it to her.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:4 @ the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers and their apparel, and his entryway by which he went up to the house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:5 @ Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:6 @ However I did not believe their words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the fame of which I heard.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, who delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for the LORD your God! Because your God has loved Israel, to establish them forever, therefore He made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness."

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:9 @ And she gave the king one hundred and twenty talents of gold, spices in great abundance, and precious stones; there never were any spices such as those the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:11 @ And the king made walkways of the algum wood for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also harps and stringed instruments for singers; and there were none such as these seen before in the land of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:12 @ Now King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all she desired, whatever she asked, much more than she had brought to the king. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:13 @ The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:18 @ The throne had six steps, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne; there were armrests on either side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:20 @ All King Solomon's drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:22 @ So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:26 @ So he reigned over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:27 @ The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:29 @ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

nkjv@2Chronicles:9:31 @ Then Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:2 @ So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon), that Jeroboam returned from Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, "If you are kind to these people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:11 @ And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day."

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from God, that the LORD might fulfill His word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was in charge of revenue; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:10:19 @ So Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:1 @ Now when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled from the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common-lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And after the Levites left, those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heart to seek the LORD God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:18 @ Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliah the son of Jesse.

nkjv@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel along with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had made.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:12 @ When he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to destroy him completely; and things also went well in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:13 @ Thus King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:15 @ The acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:12:16 @ So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. Then Abijah his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:7 @ Then worthless rogues gathered to him, and strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and inexperienced and could not withstand them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:8 @ And now you think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD, which is in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude, and with you are the gold calves which Jeroboam made for you as gods.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of other lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of things that are not gods?

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who minister to the LORD are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites attend to their duties.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:12 @ Now look, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:13 @ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line was at both front and rear; and they cried out to the LORD, and the priests sounded the trumpets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. Then Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:2 @ Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God,

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:5 @ He also removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who carried shields and spears, and from Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand men who carried shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:10 @ So Asa went out against him, and they set the troops in battle array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried out to the LORD his God, and said, "LORD, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no power; help us, O LORD our God, for we rest on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians fled.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So the Ethiopians were overthrown, and they could not recover, for they were broken before the LORD and His army. And they carried away very much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:14:14 @ Then they defeated all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came upon them; and they plundered all the cities, for there was exceedingly much spoil in them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:2 @ And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when in their trouble they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:5 @ And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:6 @ So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the LORD that was before the vestibule of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:9 @ Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:10 @ So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:13 @ and whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the LORD gave them rest all around.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:16 @ Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa brought silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-Hadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:3 @ "Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold; come, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me."

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:4 @ So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:5 @ Now it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, which Baasha had used for building; and with them he built Geba and Mizpah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him: "Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him because of this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:11 @ Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:12 @ And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:13 @ So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:16:14 @ They buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments. They made a very great burning for him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:2 @ And he placed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah and in the cities of Ephraim which Asa his father had taken.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:3 @ Now the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:8 @ And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah--the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:11 @ Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and silver as tribute; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:12 @ So Jehoshaphat became increasingly powerful, and he built fortresses and storage cities in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:15 @ and next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:16 @ and next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

nkjv@2Chronicles:17:18 @ and next to him was Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand prepared for war.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:3 @ So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?" And he answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:4 @ Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire for the word of the LORD today."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:12 @ Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Therefore please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:13 @ And Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever my God says, that I will speak."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:16 @ Then he said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the LORD said, "These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:22 @ Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:25 @ Then the king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king's son;

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:27 @ But Micaiah said, "If you ever return in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." And he said, "Take heed, all you people!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:31 @ So it was, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel!" Therefore they surrounded him to attack; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him, and God diverted them from him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:32 @ For so it was, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:18:34 @ The battle increased that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Syrians until evening; and about the time of sunset he died.

nkjv@2Chronicles:19:10 @ Whatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, lest they trespass against the LORD and wrath come upon you and your brethren. Do this, and you will not be guilty.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:3 @ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:4 @ So Judah gathered together to ask help from the LORD; and from all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:5 @ Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:9 @ "If disaster comes upon us--sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine--we will stand before this temple and in Your presence (for Your name is in this temple), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.'

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:14 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:16 @ Tomorrow go down against them. They will surely come up by the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the brook before the Wilderness of Jeruel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:20 @ So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:25 @ When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:29 @ And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:30 @ Then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:31 @ So Jehoshaphat was king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:32 @ And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and did not turn aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:33 @ Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:34 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:37 @ But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:1 @ And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. Then Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:3 @ Their father gave them great gifts of silver and gold and precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but he gave the kingdom to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:4 @ Now when Jehoram was established over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the princes of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:5 @ Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit harlotry, and led Judah astray.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, 4 Thus says the LORD God of your father David: 4 Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:15 @ and you will become very sick with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:17 @ And they came up into Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:18 @ After all this the LORD struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:20 @ He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one's sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds which he had received at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:7 @ His going to Joram was God's occasion for Ahaziah's downfall; for when he arrived, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:8 @ And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:10 @ Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were being murdered, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:12 @ And he was hidden with them in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:1 @ In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the captains of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:3 @ Then all the assembly made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, "Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD has said of the sons of David.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:13 @ When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:18 @ Also Jehoiada appointed the oversight of the house of the LORD to the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had assigned in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was established by David.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:19 @ And he set the gatekeepers at the gates of the house of the LORD, so that no one who was in any way unclean should enter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:21 @ So all the people of the land rejoiced; and the city was quiet, for they had slain Athaliah with the sword.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:2 @ Joash did what was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:4 @ Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart on repairing the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:11 @ So it was, at that time, when the chest was brought to the king's official by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, that the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:12 @ The king and Jehoiada gave it to those who did the work of the service of the house of the LORD; and they hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also those who worked in iron and bronze to restore the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:13 @ So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:15 @ But Jehoiada grew old and was full of days, and he died; he was one hundred and thirty years old when he died.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:18 @ Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served wooden images and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God: "Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, "The LORD look on it, and repay!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:23 @ So it happened in the spring of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:24 @ For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; but the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:1 @ Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a loyal heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:3 @ Now it happened, as soon as the kingdom was established for him, that he executed his servants who had murdered his father the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:4 @ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, "The fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall the children be put to death for their fathers; but a person shall die for his own sin."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:8 @ But if you go, be gone! Be strong in battle! Even so, God shall make you fall before the enemy; for God has power to help and to overthrow."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:10 @ So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:12 @ Also the children of Judah took captive ten thousand alive, brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were dashed in pieces.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But as for the soldiers of the army which Amaziah had discharged, so that they would not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and took much spoil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:15 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was aroused against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet who said to him, "Why have you sought the gods of the people, which could not rescue their own people from your hand?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:16 @ So it was, as he talked with him, that the king said to him, "Have we made you the king's counselor? Cease! Why should you be killed?" Then the prophet ceased, and said, "I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Now Amaziah king of Judah asked advice and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face one another in battle."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, "The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, "Give your daughter to my son as wife'; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:19 @ Indeed you say that you have defeated the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall--you and Judah with you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:21 @ So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:22 @ And Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:23 @ Then Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate--four hundred cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:24 @ And he took all the gold and silver, all the articles that were found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:25 @ Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from first to last, indeed are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:1 @ Now all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:3 @ Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:4 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:5 @ He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him prosper.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:6 @ Now he went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities around Ashdod and among the Philistines.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:8 @ Also the Ammonites brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:11 @ Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:12 @ The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:13 @ And under their authority was an army of three hundred and seven thousand five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:18 @ And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God."

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:21 @ King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD. Then Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz wrote.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of the LORD). But still the people acted corruptly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:27:8 @ He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the LORD, as his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:3 @ He burned incense in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They defeated him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who defeated him with a great slaughter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:7 @ Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam the officer over the house, and Elkanah who was second to the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: "Look, because the LORD God of your fathers was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand; but you have killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:12 @ Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:14 @ So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At the same time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:20 @ Also Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not assist him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took part of the treasures from the house of the LORD, from the house of the king, and from the leaders, and he gave it to the king of Assyria; but he did not help him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:22 @ Now in the time of his distress King Ahaz became increasingly unfaithful to the LORD. This is that King Ahaz.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, saying, "Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:4 @ Then he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them in the East Square,

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:6 @ For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the LORD our God; they have forsaken Him, have turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the LORD, and turned their backs on Him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of the LORD fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them up to trouble, to desolation, and to jeering, as you see with your eyes.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that you should minister to Him and burn incense."

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then these Levites arose: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah;

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:13 @ of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the articles which King Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his transgression we have prepared and sanctified; and there they are, before the altar of the LORD."

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:23 @ Then they brought out the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their hands on them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:24 @ And the priests killed them; and they presented their blood on the altar as a sin offering to make an atonement for all Israel, for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering be made for all Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of the LORD by His prophets.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:28 @ So all the assembly worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover King Hezekiah and the leaders commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said, "Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near, and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD." So the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank offerings, and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt offerings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more diligent in sanctifying themselves than the priests.

nkjv@2Chronicles:29:35 @ Also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings and with the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his leaders and all the assembly in Jerusalem had agreed to keep the Passover in the second month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:4 @ And the matter pleased the king and all the assembly.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they resolved to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem, since they had not done it for a long time in the prescribed manner.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:6 @ Then the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his leaders, and spoke according to the command of the king: "Children of Israel, return to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And do not be like your fathers and your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you see.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now do not be stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD; and enter His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to the LORD, your brethren and your children will be treated with compassion by those who lead them captive, so that they may come back to this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him."

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the runners passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun; but they laughed at them and mocked them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Nevertheless some from Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also the hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king and the leaders, at the word of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:13 @ Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:14 @ They arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and they took away all the incense altars and cast them into the Brook Kidron.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:15 @ Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought the burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the good LORD provide atonement for everyone

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:21 @ So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing to the LORD, accompanied by loud instruments.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the LORD; and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:23 @ Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:25 @ The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, cut down the wooden images, and threw down the high places and the altars--from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh--until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, every man to his possession.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the New Moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:5 @ As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, "Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the LORD has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance."

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:12 @ Then they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the dedicated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was the next.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:13 @ Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:14 @ Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the East Gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD and the most holy things.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, his faithful assistants in the cities of the priests, to distribute allotments to their brethren by divisions, to the great as well as the small.

nkjv@2Chronicles:31:20 @ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:4 @ Thus many people gathered together who stopped all the springs and the brook that ran through the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:5 @ And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; also he repaired the Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:7 @ "Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:10 @ "Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: "In what do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Does not Hezekiah persuade you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, "The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, "You shall worship before one altar and burn incense on it"?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:14 @ Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?"'

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He also wrote letters to revile the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand."

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:19 @ And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth--the work of men's hands.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:21 @ Then the LORD sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, leader, and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he had gone into the temple of his god, some of his own offspring struck him down with the sword there.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:22 @ Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD at Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death, and he prayed to the LORD; and He spoke to him and gave him a sign.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not repay according to the favor shown him, for his heart was lifted up; therefore wrath was looming over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:27 @ Hezekiah had very great riches and honor. And he made himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of desirable items;

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:31 @ However, regarding the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, whom they sent to him to inquire about the wonder that was done in the land, God withdrew from him, in order to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

nkjv@2Chronicles:32:33 @ So Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:2 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:6 @ Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:10 @ And the LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Therefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:12 @ Now when he was in affliction, he implored the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:13 @ and prayed to Him; and He received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD was God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:15 @ He took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:19 @ Also his prayer and how God received his entreaty, and all his sin and trespass, and the sites where he built high places and set up wooden images and carved images, before he was humbled, indeed they are written among the sayings of Hozai.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. Then his son Amon reigned in his place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:21 @ Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:22 @ But he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before the LORD, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:6 @ And so he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as Naphtali and all around, with axes.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:8 @ In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:9 @ When they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and which they had brought back to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:14 @ Now when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of the LORD given by Moses.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:16 @ So Shaphan carried the book to the king, bringing the king word, saying, "All that was committed to your servants they are doing.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:17 @ And they have gathered the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen."

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:18 @ Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:20 @ Then the king commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king, saying,

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilkiah and those the king had appointed went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke to her to that effect.

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:26 @ But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, in this manner you shall speak to him, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Concerning the words which you have heard--

nkjv@2Chronicles:34:27 @ because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you," says the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:1 @ Now Josiah kept a Passover to the LORD in Jerusalem, and they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth day of the first month.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:6 @ So slaughter the Passover offerings, consecrate yourselves, and prepare them for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:7 @ Then Josiah gave the lay people lambs and young goats from the flock, all for Passover offerings for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, as well as three thousand cattle; these were from the king's possessions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his leaders gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred from the flock, and three hundred cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Also Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for Passover offerings five thousand from the flock and five hundred cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:10 @ So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's command.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:11 @ And they slaughtered the Passover offerings; and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hands, while the Levites skinned the animals.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:12 @ Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the Book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:13 @ Also they roasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they boiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:15 @ And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. Also the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions for them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:17 @ And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:18 @ There had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:19 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent messengers to him, saying, "What have I to do with you, king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, lest He destroy you."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in one of the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and his goodness, according to what was written in the Law of the LORD,

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:27 @ and his deeds from first to last, indeed they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

nkjv@Ezra:4:2 @ they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers' houses, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here."

nkjv@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we receive support from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king's dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king,

nkjv@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

nkjv@Ezra:4:18 @ The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:19 @ And I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it.

nkjv@Ezra:4:21 @ Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

nkjv@Ezra:4:23 @ Now when the copy of King Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and by force of arms made them cease.

nkjv@Ezra:4:24 @ Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

nkjv@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: "Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till a report could go to Darius. Then a written answer was returned concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:5:7 @ (They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus) To Darius the king: All peace.

nkjv@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: "Who commanded you to build this temple and to finish these walls?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:10 @ We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:11 @ And thus they returned us an answer, saying: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.

nkjv@Ezra:5:14 @ Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon--those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

nkjv@Ezra:5:16 @ Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and it is not finished."

nkjv@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king's treasure house, which is there in Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his pleasure concerning this matter.

nkjv@Ezra:6:1 @ Then King Darius issued a decree, and a search was made in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon.

nkjv@Ezra:6:2 @ And at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus:

nkjv@Ezra:6:4 @ with three rows of heavy stones and one row of new timber. Let the expenses be paid from the king's treasury.

nkjv@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king's expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered.

nkjv@Ezra:6:15 @ Now the temple was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of King Darius.

nkjv@Ezra:6:17 @ And they offered sacrifices at the dedication of this house of God, one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:6:18 @ They assigned the priests to their divisions and the Levites to their divisions, over the service of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the Book of Moses.

nkjv@Ezra:6:19 @ And the descendants of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

nkjv@Ezra:6:20 @ For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves; all of them were ritually clean. And they slaughtered the Passover lambs for all the descendants of the captivity, for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

nkjv@Ezra:6:22 @ And they kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for the LORD made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

nkjv@Ezra:8:19 @ and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty men;

nkjv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

nkjv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him."

nkjv@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer.

nkjv@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this trespass."

nkjv@Ezra:9:3 @ So when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down astonished.

nkjv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.

nkjv@Ezra:9:5 @ At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God.

nkjv@Ezra:9:6 @ And I said: "O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.

nkjv@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as it is this day. Here we are before You, in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this!"

nkjv@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:25 @ Palal the son of Uzai made repairs opposite the buttress, and on the tower which projects from the king's upper house that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:26 @ Moreover the Nethinim who dwelt in Ophel made repairs as far as the place in front of the Water Gate toward the east, and on the projecting tower.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:32 @ And between the upper room at the corner, as far as the Sheep Gate, the goldsmiths and the merchants made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, "Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity!

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry,

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said, "They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, "From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, my brethren, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes, except that everyone took them off for washing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their Jewish brethren.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, "Each of you is exacting usury from his brother." So I called a great assembly against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:10 @ I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Please, let us stop this usury!

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, "We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say." Then I called the priests, and required an oath from them that they would do according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's provisions.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I did not demand the governor's provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; therefore, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it happened, when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were very disheartened in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was done by our God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Then it was, when the wall was built and I had hung the doors, when the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed,

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ that I gave the charge of Jerusalem to my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the leader of the citadel, for he was a faithful man and feared God more than many.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:64 @ These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were excluded from the priesthood as defiled.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:66 @ Altogether the whole assembly was forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:70 @ And some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:72 @ And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:1 @ Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they told Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:2 @ So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could hear with understanding on the first day of the seventh month.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:3 @ Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:4 @ So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, "This day is holy to the LORD your God; do not mourn nor weep." For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the Law, which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month,

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, "Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written."

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:17 @ So the whole assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:18 @ Also day by day, from the first day until the last day, he read from the Book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day there was a sacred assembly, according to the prescribed manner.

nkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

nkjv@Esther:2:13 @ Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women's quarters to the king's palace.

nkjv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who kept the concubines. She would not go in to the king again unless the king delighted in her and called for her by name.

nkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.

nkjv@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into his royal palace, in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

nkjv@Esther:2:17 @ The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

nkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

nkjv@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not revealed her family and her people, just as Mordecai had charged her, for Esther obeyed the command of Mordecai as when she was brought up by him.

nkjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat within the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, doorkeepers, became furious and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:2:23 @ And when an inquiry was made into the matter, it was confirmed, and both were hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.

nkjv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

nkjv@Esther:3:4 @ Now it happened, when they spoke to him daily and he would not listen to them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

nkjv@Esther:3:5 @ When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath.

nkjv@Esther:3:6 @ But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus--the people of Mordecai.

nkjv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

nkjv@Esther:3:9 @ If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king's treasuries."

nkjv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, "The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you."

nkjv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded--to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nkjv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

nkjv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went out, hastened by the king's command; and the decree was proclaimed in Shushan the citadel. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

nkjv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry.

nkjv@Esther:4:2 @ He went as far as the front of the king's gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

nkjv@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province where the king's command and decree arrived, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Esther:4:4 @ So Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was deeply distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them.

nkjv@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was.

nkjv@Esther:4:6 @ So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square that was in front of the king's gate.

nkjv@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries to destroy the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:4:8 @ He also gave him a copy of the written decree for their destruction, which was given at Shushan, that he might show it to Esther and explain it to her, and that he might command her to go in to the king to make supplication to him and plead before him for her people.

nkjv@Esther:4:11 @ "All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that any man or woman who goes into the inner court to the king, who has not been called, he has but one law: put all to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, that he may live. Yet I myself have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days."

nkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

nkjv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!"

nkjv@Esther:5:2 @ So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.

nkjv@Esther:5:4 @ So Esther answered, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nkjv@Esther:5:5 @ Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said." So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

nkjv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

nkjv@Esther:5:9 @ So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.

nkjv@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

nkjv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet." And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

nkjv@Esther:6:1 @ That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

nkjv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, the doorkeepers who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:6:3 @ Then the king said, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?" And the king's servants who attended him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

nkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

nkjv@Esther:6:8 @ let a royal robe be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, which has a royal crest placed on its head.

nkjv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, "Hurry, take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits within the king's gate! Leave nothing undone of all that you have spoken."

nkjv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nkjv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered and said, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

nkjv@Esther:7:4 @ For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king's loss."

nkjv@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

nkjv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

nkjv@Esther:7:7 @ Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

nkjv@Esther:7:8 @ When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?" As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

nkjv@Esther:8:5 @ and said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nkjv@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:8 @ You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring no one can revoke."

nkjv@Esther:8:9 @ So the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

nkjv@Esther:8:10 @ And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on royal horses bred from swift steeds.

nkjv@Esther:8:11 @ By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives--to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions,

nkjv@Esther:8:12 @ on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

nkjv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nkjv@Esther:8:14 @ The couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's command. And the decree was issued in Shushan the citadel.

nkjv@Esther:8:15 @ So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.

nkjv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and city, wherever the king's command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.

nkjv@Esther:9:2 @ The Jews gathered together in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm. And no one could withstand them, because fear of them fell upon all people.

nkjv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent.

nkjv@Esther:9:5 @ Thus the Jews defeated all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, with slaughter and destruction, and did what they pleased with those who hated them.

nkjv@Esther:9:7 @ Also Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

nkjv@Esther:9:9 @ Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha--

nkjv@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those who were killed in Shushan the citadel was brought to the king.

nkjv@Esther:9:13 @ Then Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do again tomorrow according to today's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."

nkjv@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

nkjv@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And on the fourteenth of the month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

nkjv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews who were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day, as well as on the fourteenth; and on the fifteenth of the month they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

nkjv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages who dwelt in the unwalled towns celebrated the fourteenth day of the month of Adar with gladness and feasting, as a holiday, and for sending presents to one another.

nkjv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things and sent letters to all the Jews, near and far, who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus,

nkjv@Esther:9:22 @ as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, as the month which was turned from sorrow to joy for them, and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, of sending presents to one another and gifts to the poor.

nkjv@Esther:9:23 @ So the Jews accepted the custom which they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:24 @ because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to annihilate them, and had cast Pur (that is, the lot), to consume them and destroy them;

nkjv@Esther:9:30 @ And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews, to the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

nkjv@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had prescribed for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their descendants concerning matters of their fasting and lamenting.

nkjv@Esther:9:32 @ So the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim, and it was written in the book.

nkjv@Esther:10:1 @ And King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

nkjv@Zechariah:4:1 @ Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

nkjv@Zechariah:5:6 @ So I asked, "What is it?" And he said, "It is a basket that is going forth." He also said, "This is their resemblance throughout the earth:

nkjv@Zechariah:5:7 @ Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket";

nkjv@Zechariah:5:8 @ then he said, "This is Wickedness!" And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth.

nkjv@Zechariah:5:9 @ Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.

nkjv@Zechariah:5:10 @ So I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they carrying the basket?"

nkjv@Zechariah:5:11 @ And he said to me, "To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base."

nkjv@Matthew:14:6 @ But when Herod's birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod.

nkjv@Matthew:14:7 @ Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask.

nkjv@Matthew:14:9 @ And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.

nkjv@Matthew:14:11 @ And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

nkjv@Matthew:14:14 @ And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

nkjv@Matthew:14:15 @ When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food."

nkjv@Matthew:14:19 @ Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

nkjv@Matthew:14:20 @ So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

nkjv@Matthew:15:28 @ Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

nkjv@Matthew:15:32 @ Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."

nkjv@Matthew:15:37 @ So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

nkjv@Matthew:16:1 @ Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven.

nkjv@Matthew:16:7 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have taken no bread."

nkjv@Matthew:17:12 @ But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."

nkjv@Matthew:17:18 @ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

nkjv@Matthew:26:71 @ And when he had gone out to the gateway, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, "This fellow also was with Jesus of Nazareth."

nkjv@Matthew:27:3 @ Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

nkjv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood."

nkjv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

nkjv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,

nkjv@Matthew:27:10 @ and gave them for the potter's field, as the LORD directed me."

nkjv@Matthew:27:11 @ Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Matthew:27:12 @ And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

nkjv@Matthew:27:15 @ Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

nkjv@Matthew:27:16 @ And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

nkjv@Matthew:27:17 @ Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nkjv@Matthew:27:19 @ While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

nkjv@Matthew:27:20 @ But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

nkjv@Matthew:27:21 @ The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:23 @ Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:24 @ When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it."

nkjv@Matthew:27:26 @ Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:27:32 @ Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

nkjv@Matthew:27:34 @ they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

nkjv@Matthew:27:35 @ Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots."

nkjv@Matthew:27:39 @ And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

nkjv@Matthew:27:45 @ Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

nkjv@Matthew:27:51 @ Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,

nkjv@Matthew:27:52 @ and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

nkjv@Matthew:27:54 @ So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nkjv@Matthew:27:58 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.

nkjv@Matthew:27:61 @ And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.

nkjv@Matthew:27:63 @ saying, "Sir, we remember, while He was still alive, how that deceiver said, "After three days I will rise.'

nkjv@Matthew:27:64 @ Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, "He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."

nkjv@Matthew:27:65 @ Pilate said to them, "You have a guard; go your way, make it as secure as you know how."

nkjv@Matthew:28:1 @ Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.

nkjv@Matthew:28:2 @ And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it.

nkjv@Matthew:28:3 @ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.

nkjv@Matthew:28:5 @ But the angel answered and said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

nkjv@Matthew:28:6 @ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

nkjv@Matthew:28:9 @ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, "Rejoice!" So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

nkjv@Matthew:28:12 @ When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers,

nkjv@Matthew:28:14 @ And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will appease him and make you secure."

nkjv@Matthew:28:15 @ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

nkjv@Matthew:28:18 @ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

nkjv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You."

nkjv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

nkjv@Mark:1:9 @ It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

nkjv@Mark:1:11 @ Then a voice came from heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@Mark:1:13 @ And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

nkjv@Mark:1:16 @ And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nkjv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

nkjv@Mark:1:23 @ Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,

nkjv@Mark:1:29 @ Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together at the door.

nkjv@Mark:1:34 @ Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

nkjv@Mark:1:39 @ And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out demons.

nkjv@Mark:1:41 @ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

nkjv@Mark:1:42 @ As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

nkjv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."

nkjv@Mark:1:45 @ However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; and they came to Him from every direction.

nkjv@Mark:2:1 @ And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house.

nkjv@Mark:2:2 @ Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.

nkjv@Mark:2:3 @ Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.

nkjv@Mark:2:4 @ And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.

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

nkjv@Mark:2:7 @ "Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nkjv@Mark:2:8 @ But immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, He said to them, "Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?

nkjv@Mark:2:9 @ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Arise, take up your bed and walk'?

nkjv@Mark:2:10 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the paralytic,

nkjv@Mark:2:14 @ As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, "Follow Me." So he arose and followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:2:15 @ Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.

nkjv@Mark:2:18 @ The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were fasting. Then they came and said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nkjv@Mark:2:19 @ And Jesus said to them, "Can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.

nkjv@Mark:2:20 @ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days.

nkjv@Mark:2:23 @ Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

nkjv@Mark:2:25 @ But He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him:

nkjv@Mark:2:27 @ And He said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

nkjv@Mark:3:1 @ And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

nkjv@Mark:3:5 @ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Mark:3:8 @ and Jerusalem and Idumea and beyond the Jordan; and those from Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they heard how many things He was doing, came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:10 @ For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.

nkjv@Mark:3:15 @ and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

nkjv@Mark:3:18 @ Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite;

nkjv@Mark:3:19 @ and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.

nkjv@Mark:3:20 @ Then the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

nkjv@Mark:3:22 @ And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He has Beelzebub," and, "By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons."

nkjv@Mark:3:23 @ So He called them to Himself and said to them in parables: "How can Satan cast out Satan?

nkjv@Mark:3:26 @ And if Satan has risen up against himself, and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end.

nkjv@Mark:3:28 @ "Assuredly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter;

nkjv@Mark:3:29 @ but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"--

nkjv@Mark:3:30 @ because they said, "He has an unclean spirit."

nkjv@Mark:3:32 @ And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You."

nkjv@Mark:4:1 @ And again He began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was on the land facing the sea.

nkjv@Mark:4:4 @ And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it.

nkjv@Mark:4:6 @ But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away.

nkjv@Mark:4:8 @ But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."

nkjv@Mark:4:9 @ And He said to them, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Mark:4:10 @ But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.

nkjv@Mark:4:11 @ And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

nkjv@Mark:4:15 @ And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.

nkjv@Mark:4:21 @ Also He said to them, "Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?

nkjv@Mark:4:22 @ For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.

nkjv@Mark:4:23 @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

nkjv@Mark:4:24 @ Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

nkjv@Mark:4:25 @ For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."

nkjv@Mark:4:26 @ And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground,

nkjv@Mark:4:29 @ But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

nkjv@Mark:4:33 @ And with many such parables He spoke the word to them as they were able to hear it.

nkjv@Mark:4:36 @ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.

nkjv@Mark:4:37 @ And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.

nkjv@Mark:4:38 @ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"

nkjv@Mark:4:39 @ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

nkjv@Mark:5:5 @ And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

nkjv@Mark:5:9 @ Then He asked him, "What is your name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nkjv@Mark:5:11 @ Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains.

nkjv@Mark:5:14 @ So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened.

nkjv@Mark:5:19 @ However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you."

nkjv@Mark:5:21 @ Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea.

nkjv@Mark:5:26 @ and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.

nkjv@Mark:5:29 @ Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.

nkjv@Mark:5:34 @ And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction."

nkjv@Mark:5:35 @ While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?"

nkjv@Mark:5:36 @ As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe."

nkjv@Mark:5:40 @ And they ridiculed Him. But when He had put them all outside, He took the father and the mother of the child, and those who were with Him, and entered where the child was lying.

nkjv@Mark:5:42 @ Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

nkjv@Mark:6:2 @ And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

nkjv@Mark:6:3 @ Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" So they were offended at Him.

nkjv@Mark:6:11 @ And whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"

nkjv@Mark:6:13 @ And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

nkjv@Mark:6:16 @ But when Herod heard, he said, "This is John, whom I beheaded; he has been raised from the dead!"

nkjv@Mark:6:17 @ For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.

nkjv@Mark:6:19 @ Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not;

nkjv@Mark:6:20 @ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

nkjv@Mark:6:21 @ Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.

nkjv@Mark:6:22 @ And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

nkjv@Mark:6:23 @ He also swore to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom."

nkjv@Mark:6:24 @ So she went out and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist!"

nkjv@Mark:6:25 @ Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nkjv@Mark:6:26 @ And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.

nkjv@Mark:6:31 @ And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

nkjv@Mark:6:34 @ And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

nkjv@Mark:6:35 @ When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

nkjv@Mark:6:39 @ Then He commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.

nkjv@Mark:6:43 @ And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.

nkjv@Mark:6:47 @ Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.

nkjv@Mark:6:48 @ Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.

nkjv@Mark:6:49 @ And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;

nkjv@Mark:6:51 @ Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.

nkjv@Mark:6:52 @ For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

nkjv@Mark:6:55 @ ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.

nkjv@Mark:6:56 @ Wherever He entered, into villages, cities, or the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well.

nkjv@Mark:7:2 @ Now when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault.

nkjv@Mark:7:3 @ For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way, holding the tradition of the elders.

nkjv@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other things which they have received and hold, like the washing of cups, pitchers, copper vessels, and couches.

nkjv@Mark:7:5 @ Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"

nkjv@Mark:7:6 @ He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: "This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.

nkjv@Mark:7:7 @ And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'

nkjv@Mark:7:8 @ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men --the washing of pitchers and cups, and many other such things you do."

nkjv@Mark:7:16 @ If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Mark:7:17 @ When He had entered a house away from the crowd, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.

nkjv@Mark:7:22 @ thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

nkjv@Mark:7:26 @ The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

nkjv@Mark:7:29 @ Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."

nkjv@Mark:7:32 @ Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.

nkjv@Mark:7:33 @ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.

nkjv@Mark:7:35 @ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

nkjv@Mark:7:37 @ And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."

nkjv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

nkjv@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."

nkjv@Mark:8:8 @ So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.

nkjv@Mark:8:12 @ But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

nkjv@Mark:8:16 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread."

nkjv@Mark:8:17 @ But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

nkjv@Mark:8:19 @ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

nkjv@Mark:8:20 @ "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."

nkjv@Mark:8:23 @ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

nkjv@Mark:8:25 @ Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

nkjv@Mark:8:27 @ Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

nkjv@Mark:8:32 @ He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

nkjv@Mark:8:38 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nkjv@Mark:9:1 @ And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power."

nkjv@Mark:9:2 @ Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

nkjv@Mark:9:3 @ His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nkjv@Mark:9:9 @ Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

nkjv@Mark:9:11 @ And they asked Him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nkjv@Mark:9:13 @ But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

nkjv@Mark:9:16 @ And He asked the scribes, "What are you discussing with them?"

nkjv@Mark:9:17 @ Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

nkjv@Mark:9:18 @ And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Mark:9:21 @ So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

nkjv@Mark:9:22 @ And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."

nkjv@Mark:9:26 @ Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead."

nkjv@Mark:9:28 @ And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

nkjv@Mark:9:29 @ So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."

nkjv@Mark:9:30 @ Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.

nkjv@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.

nkjv@Mark:9:33 @ Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, "What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?"

nkjv@Mark:9:35 @ And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."

nkjv@Mark:9:38 @ Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us."

nkjv@Mark:9:41 @ For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.

nkjv@Mark:9:45 @ And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched--

nkjv@Mark:9:47 @ And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire--

nkjv@Mark:9:49 @ "For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

nkjv@Mark:9:50 @ Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another."

nkjv@Mark:10:1 @ Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again.

nkjv@Mark:10:2 @ The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him.

nkjv@Mark:10:7 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,

nkjv@Mark:10:9 @ Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."

nkjv@Mark:10:10 @ In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter.

nkjv@Mark:10:14 @ But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Mark:10:15 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Mark:10:17 @ Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"

nkjv@Mark:10:21 @ Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."

nkjv@Mark:10:22 @ But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

nkjv@Mark:10:24 @ And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, "Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God!

nkjv@Mark:10:25 @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Mark:10:26 @ And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"

nkjv@Mark:10:29 @ So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's,

nkjv@Mark:10:31 @ But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

nkjv@Mark:10:32 @ Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him:

nkjv@Mark:10:35 @ Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask."

nkjv@Mark:10:38 @ But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

nkjv@Mark:10:41 @ And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.

nkjv@Mark:10:46 @ Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Mark:10:47 @ And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nkjv@Mark:10:50 @ And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:10:52 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.

nkjv@Mark:11:2 @ and He said to them, "Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.

nkjv@Mark:11:3 @ And if anyone says to you, "Why are you doing this?' say, "The Lord has need of it,' and immediately he will send it here."

nkjv@Mark:11:6 @ And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.

nkjv@Mark:11:11 @ And Jesus went into Jerusalem and into the temple. So when He had looked around at all things, as the hour was already late, He went out to Bethany with the twelve.

nkjv@Mark:11:12 @ Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry.

nkjv@Mark:11:13 @ And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nkjv@Mark:11:18 @ And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching.

nkjv@Mark:11:20 @ Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

nkjv@Mark:11:21 @ And Peter, remembering, said to Him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away."

nkjv@Mark:11:23 @ For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

nkjv@Mark:11:24 @ Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

nkjv@Mark:11:25 @ "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

nkjv@Mark:11:26 @ But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."

nkjv@Mark:11:27 @ Then they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders came to Him.

nkjv@Mark:11:29 @ But Jesus answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

nkjv@Mark:11:30 @ The baptism of John--was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me."

nkjv@Mark:11:31 @ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, "From heaven,' He will say, "Why then did you not believe him?'

nkjv@Mark:12:1 @ Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.

nkjv@Mark:12:6 @ Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also sent him to them last, saying, "They will respect my son.'

nkjv@Mark:12:8 @ So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.

nkjv@Mark:12:10 @ Have you not even read this Scripture: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

nkjv@Mark:12:11 @ This was the LORD's doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes'?"

nkjv@Mark:12:18 @ Then some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him; and they asked Him, saying:

nkjv@Mark:12:22 @ So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also.

nkjv@Mark:12:23 @ Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife."

nkjv@Mark:12:26 @ But concerning the dead, that they rise, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the burning bush passage, how God spoke to him, saying, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?

nkjv@Mark:12:28 @ Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"

nkjv@Mark:12:31 @ And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nkjv@Mark:12:33 @ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

nkjv@Mark:12:39 @ the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts,

nkjv@Mark:12:41 @ Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much.

nkjv@Mark:12:43 @ So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury;

nkjv@Mark:13:1 @ Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, "Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"

nkjv@Mark:13:3 @ Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Him privately,

nkjv@Mark:13:19 @ For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.

nkjv@Mark:13:28 @ "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.

nkjv@Mark:13:30 @ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

nkjv@Mark:13:31 @ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

nkjv@Mark:13:35 @ Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming--in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning--

nkjv@Mark:14:1 @ After two days it was the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death.

nkjv@Mark:14:2 @ But they said, "Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar of the people."

nkjv@Mark:14:3 @ And being in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at the table, a woman came having an alabaster flask of very costly oil of spikenard. Then she broke the flask and poured it on His head.

nkjv@Mark:14:4 @ But there were some who were indignant among themselves, and said, "Why was this fragrant oil wasted?

nkjv@Mark:14:6 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a good work for Me.

nkjv@Mark:14:8 @ She has done what she could. She has come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.

nkjv@Mark:14:9 @ Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

nkjv@Mark:14:10 @ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Him to them.

nkjv@Mark:14:12 @ Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said to Him, "Where do You want us to go and prepare, that You may eat the Passover?"

nkjv@Mark:14:14 @ Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, "The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

nkjv@Mark:14:16 @ So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

nkjv@Mark:14:18 @ Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me."

nkjv@Mark:14:21 @ The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."

nkjv@Mark:14:22 @ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nkjv@Mark:14:25 @ Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Mark:14:30 @ Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you that today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times."

nkjv@Mark:14:32 @ Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

nkjv@Mark:14:35 @ He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:40 @ And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:41 @ Then He came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nkjv@Mark:14:43 @ And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

nkjv@Mark:14:45 @ As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nkjv@Mark:14:48 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?

nkjv@Mark:14:49 @ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."

nkjv@Mark:14:53 @ And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.

nkjv@Mark:14:60 @ And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, saying, "Do You answer nothing? What is it these men testify against You?"

nkjv@Mark:14:61 @ But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"

nkjv@Mark:14:64 @ You have heard the blasphemy! What do you think?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.

nkjv@Mark:14:66 @ Now as Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came.

nkjv@Mark:15:2 @ Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered and said to him, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Mark:15:4 @ Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!"

nkjv@Mark:15:6 @ Now at the feast he was accustomed to releasing one prisoner to them, whomever they requested.

nkjv@Mark:15:7 @ And there was one named Barabbas, who was chained with his fellow rebels; they had committed murder in the rebellion.

nkjv@Mark:15:8 @ Then the multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do just as he had always done for them.

nkjv@Mark:15:9 @ But Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@Mark:15:11 @ But the chief priests stirred up the crowd, so that he should rather release Barabbas to them.

nkjv@Mark:15:14 @ Then Pilate said to them, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, "Crucify Him!"

nkjv@Mark:15:15 @ So Pilate, wanting to gratify the crowd, released Barabbas to them; and he delivered Jesus, after he had scourged Him, to be crucified.

nkjv@Mark:15:21 @ Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing by, to bear His cross.

nkjv@Mark:15:24 @ And when they crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting lots for them to determine what every man should take.

nkjv@Mark:15:25 @ Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.

nkjv@Mark:15:26 @ And the inscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Mark:15:28 @ So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."

nkjv@Mark:15:29 @ And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days,

nkjv@Mark:15:33 @ Now when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

nkjv@Mark:15:37 @ And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last.

nkjv@Mark:15:38 @ Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

nkjv@Mark:15:39 @ So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, "Truly this Man was the Son of God!"

nkjv@Mark:15:41 @ who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Mark:15:42 @ Now when evening had come, because it was the Preparation Day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

nkjv@Mark:15:43 @ Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Mark:15:44 @ Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time.

nkjv@Mark:15:47 @ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where He was laid.

nkjv@Mark:16:1 @ Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:4 @ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away--for it was very large.

nkjv@Mark:16:6 @ But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

nkjv@Mark:16:7 @ But go, tell His disciples--and Peter--that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you."

nkjv@Mark:16:9 @ Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

nkjv@Mark:16:10 @ She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.

nkjv@Mark:16:11 @ And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.

nkjv@Mark:16:12 @ After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country.

nkjv@Mark:16:14 @ Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

nkjv@Mark:16:17 @ And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

nkjv@Mark:16:19 @ So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

nkjv@Luke:1:1 @ Inasmuch as many have taken in hand to set in order a narrative of those things which have been fulfilled among us,

nkjv@Luke:1:2 @ just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word delivered them to us,

nkjv@Luke:1:5 @ There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

nkjv@Luke:1:7 @ But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

nkjv@Luke:1:8 @ So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

nkjv@Luke:1:10 @ And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense.

nkjv@Luke:1:12 @ And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

nkjv@Luke:1:13 @ But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

nkjv@Luke:1:18 @ And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."

nkjv@Luke:1:19 @ And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.

nkjv@Luke:1:21 @ And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple.

nkjv@Luke:1:23 @ So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house.

nkjv@Luke:1:25 @ "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people."

nkjv@Luke:1:26 @ Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

nkjv@Luke:1:27 @ to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.

nkjv@Luke:1:29 @ But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.

nkjv@Luke:1:36 @ Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

nkjv@Luke:1:39 @ Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,

nkjv@Luke:1:40 @ and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.

nkjv@Luke:1:41 @ And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@Luke:1:44 @ For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

nkjv@Luke:1:47 @ And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

nkjv@Luke:1:48 @ For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.

nkjv@Luke:1:49 @ For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name.

nkjv@Luke:1:51 @ He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

nkjv@Luke:1:52 @ He has put down the mighty from their thrones, And exalted the lowly.

nkjv@Luke:1:53 @ He has filled the hungry with good things, And the rich He has sent away empty.

nkjv@Luke:1:54 @ He has helped His servant Israel, In remembrance of His mercy,

nkjv@Luke:1:55 @ As He spoke to our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed forever."

nkjv@Luke:1:59 @ So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

nkjv@Luke:1:63 @ And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.

nkjv@Luke:1:64 @ Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

nkjv@Luke:1:66 @ And all those who heard them kept them in their hearts, saying, "What kind of child will this be?" And the hand of the Lord was with him.

nkjv@Luke:1:67 @ Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying:

nkjv@Luke:1:68 @ "Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited and redeemed His people,

nkjv@Luke:1:69 @ And has raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of His servant David,

nkjv@Luke:1:70 @ As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, Who have been since the world began,

nkjv@Luke:1:78 @ Through the tender mercy of our God, With which the Dayspring from on high has visited us;

nkjv@Luke:1:80 @ So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

nkjv@Luke:2:1 @ And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.

nkjv@Luke:2:2 @ This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.

nkjv@Luke:2:4 @ Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

nkjv@Luke:2:5 @ to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.

nkjv@Luke:2:6 @ So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.

nkjv@Luke:2:7 @ And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

nkjv@Luke:2:13 @ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:

nkjv@Luke:2:15 @ So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us."

nkjv@Luke:2:16 @ And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.

nkjv@Luke:2:17 @ Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.

nkjv@Luke:2:20 @ Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

nkjv@Luke:2:21 @ And when eight days were completed for the circumcision of the Child, His name was called JESUS, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

nkjv@Luke:2:23 @ (as it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male who opens the womb shall be called holy to the LORD"),

nkjv@Luke:2:25 @ And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

nkjv@Luke:2:36 @ Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity;

nkjv@Luke:2:37 @ and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

nkjv@Luke:2:40 @ And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.

nkjv@Luke:2:41 @ His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.

nkjv@Luke:2:42 @ And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast.

nkjv@Luke:2:43 @ When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother did not know it;

nkjv@Luke:2:46 @ Now so it was that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.

nkjv@Luke:2:47 @ And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers.

nkjv@Luke:2:51 @ Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart.

nkjv@Luke:2:52 @ And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

nkjv@Luke:3:1 @ Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

nkjv@Luke:3:2 @ while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

nkjv@Luke:3:4 @ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying: "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the LORD; Make His paths straight.

nkjv@Luke:3:8 @ Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

nkjv@Luke:3:10 @ So the people asked him, saying, "What shall we do then?"

nkjv@Luke:3:11 @ He answered and said to them, "He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."

nkjv@Luke:3:14 @ Likewise the soldiers asked him, saying, "And what shall we do?" So he said to them, "Do not intimidate anyone or accuse falsely, and be content with your wages."

nkjv@Luke:3:15 @ Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

nkjv@Luke:3:19 @ But Herod the tetrarch, being rebuked by him concerning Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,

nkjv@Luke:3:21 @ When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.

nkjv@Luke:3:22 @ And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."

nkjv@Luke:3:23 @ Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli,

nkjv@Luke:3:27 @ the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri,

nkjv@Luke:4:1 @ Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

nkjv@Luke:4:2 @ being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

nkjv@Luke:4:6 @ And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nkjv@Luke:4:11 @ and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'

nkjv@Luke:4:12 @ And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'

nkjv@Luke:4:16 @ So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

nkjv@Luke:4:17 @ And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

nkjv@Luke:4:18 @ "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

nkjv@Luke:4:24 @ Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.

nkjv@Luke:4:25 @ But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land;

nkjv@Luke:4:26 @ but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

nkjv@Luke:4:27 @ And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian."

nkjv@Luke:4:29 @ and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff.

nkjv@Luke:4:30 @ Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way.

nkjv@Luke:4:31 @ Then He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was teaching them on the Sabbaths.

nkjv@Luke:4:32 @ And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority.

nkjv@Luke:4:33 @ Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice,

nkjv@Luke:4:38 @ Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.

nkjv@Luke:4:40 @ When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them.

nkjv@Luke:4:41 @ And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.

nkjv@Luke:4:42 @ Now when it was day, He departed and went into a deserted place. And the crowd sought Him and came to Him, and tried to keep Him from leaving them;

nkjv@Luke:4:44 @ And He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.

nkjv@Luke:5:1 @ So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

nkjv@Luke:5:2 @ and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

nkjv@Luke:5:3 @ Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

nkjv@Luke:5:5 @ But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."

nkjv@Luke:5:6 @ And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

nkjv@Luke:5:9 @ For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

nkjv@Luke:5:12 @ And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nkjv@Luke:5:14 @ And He charged him to tell no one, "But go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as a testimony to them, just as Moses commanded."

nkjv@Luke:5:17 @ Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

nkjv@Luke:5:18 @ Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.

nkjv@Luke:5:21 @ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

nkjv@Luke:5:22 @ But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

nkjv@Luke:5:23 @ Which is easier, to say, "Your sins are forgiven you,' or to say, "Rise up and walk'?

nkjv@Luke:5:24 @ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"--He said to the man who was paralyzed, "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

nkjv@Luke:5:29 @ Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them.

nkjv@Luke:5:33 @ Then they said to Him, "Why do the disciples of John fast often and make prayers, and likewise those of the Pharisees, but Yours eat and drink?"

nkjv@Luke:5:34 @ And He said to them, "Can you make the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them?

nkjv@Luke:5:35 @ But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days."

nkjv@Luke:5:36 @ Then He spoke a parable to them: "No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old.

nkjv@Luke:6:3 @ But Jesus answering them said, "Have you not even read this, what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

nkjv@Luke:6:6 @ Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.

nkjv@Luke:6:9 @ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"

nkjv@Luke:6:10 @ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

nkjv@Luke:6:12 @ Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

nkjv@Luke:6:13 @ And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

nkjv@Luke:6:15 @ Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;

nkjv@Luke:6:16 @ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

nkjv@Luke:6:17 @ And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

nkjv@Luke:6:18 @ as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

nkjv@Luke:6:22 @ Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.

nkjv@Luke:6:30 @ Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.

nkjv@Luke:6:31 @ And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

nkjv@Luke:6:34 @ And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back.

nkjv@Luke:6:36 @ Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

nkjv@Luke:6:38 @ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."

nkjv@Luke:6:45 @ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

nkjv@Luke:6:48 @ He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

nkjv@Luke:6:49 @ But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great."

nkjv@Luke:7:2 @ And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.

nkjv@Luke:7:4 @ And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving,

nkjv@Luke:7:5 @ "for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue."

nkjv@Luke:7:6 @ Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof.

nkjv@Luke:7:12 @ And when He came near the gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with her.

nkjv@Luke:7:13 @ When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep."

nkjv@Luke:7:15 @ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.

nkjv@Luke:7:16 @ Then fear came upon all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us"; and, "God has visited His people."

nkjv@Luke:7:20 @ When the men had come to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, "Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?"'

nkjv@Luke:7:28 @ For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nkjv@Luke:7:33 @ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.'

nkjv@Luke:7:34 @ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

nkjv@Luke:7:36 @ Then one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee's house, and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:7:37 @ And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,

nkjv@Luke:7:38 @ and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:41 @ "There was a certain creditor who had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

nkjv@Luke:7:44 @ Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.

nkjv@Luke:7:45 @ You gave Me no kiss, but this woman has not ceased to kiss My feet since the time I came in.

nkjv@Luke:7:46 @ You did not anoint My head with oil, but this woman has anointed My feet with fragrant oil.

nkjv@Luke:7:50 @ Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:1 @ Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him,

nkjv@Luke:8:5 @ "A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.

nkjv@Luke:8:6 @ Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture.

nkjv@Luke:8:8 @ But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold." When He had said these things He cried, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

nkjv@Luke:8:9 @ Then His disciples asked Him, saying, "What does this parable mean?"

nkjv@Luke:8:10 @ And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that "Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.'

nkjv@Luke:8:14 @ Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity.

nkjv@Luke:8:16 @ "No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.

nkjv@Luke:8:18 @ Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him."

nkjv@Luke:8:20 @ And it was told Him by some, who said, "Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You."

nkjv@Luke:8:23 @ But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy.

nkjv@Luke:8:24 @ And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm.

nkjv@Luke:8:29 @ For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized him, and he was kept under guard, bound with chains and shackles; and he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the wilderness.

nkjv@Luke:8:30 @ Jesus asked him, saying, "What is your name?" And he said, "Legion," because many demons had entered him.

nkjv@Luke:8:32 @ Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they begged Him that He would permit them to enter them. And He permitted them.

nkjv@Luke:8:36 @ They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed.

nkjv@Luke:8:37 @ Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned.

nkjv@Luke:8:39 @ "Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

nkjv@Luke:8:40 @ So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him.

nkjv@Luke:8:41 @ And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue. And he fell down at Jesus' feet and begged Him to come to his house,

nkjv@Luke:8:42 @ for he had an only daughter about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

nkjv@Luke:8:45 @ And Jesus said, "Who touched Me?" When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, "Who touched Me?"'

nkjv@Luke:8:47 @ Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

nkjv@Luke:8:48 @ And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."

nkjv@Luke:8:49 @ While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher."

nkjv@Luke:8:53 @ And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead.

nkjv@Luke:8:56 @ And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

nkjv@Luke:9:1 @ Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

nkjv@Luke:9:5 @ And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them."

nkjv@Luke:9:7 @ Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nkjv@Luke:9:10 @ And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.

nkjv@Luke:9:17 @ So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

nkjv@Luke:9:18 @ And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

nkjv@Luke:9:19 @ So they answered and said, "John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again."

nkjv@Luke:9:26 @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father's, and of the holy angels.

nkjv@Luke:9:27 @ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:9:28 @ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

nkjv@Luke:9:29 @ As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening.

nkjv@Luke:9:31 @ who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:33 @ Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"--not knowing what he said.

nkjv@Luke:9:34 @ While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud.

nkjv@Luke:9:36 @ When the voice had ceased, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those days any of the things they had seen.

nkjv@Luke:9:40 @ So I implored Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

nkjv@Luke:9:42 @ And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

nkjv@Luke:9:45 @ But they did not understand this saying, and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

nkjv@Luke:9:46 @ Then a dispute arose among them as to which of them would be greatest.

nkjv@Luke:9:48 @ and said to them, "Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all will be great."

nkjv@Luke:9:49 @ Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."

nkjv@Luke:9:51 @ Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem,

nkjv@Luke:9:52 @ and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him.

nkjv@Luke:9:53 @ But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:9:54 @ And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

nkjv@Luke:9:57 @ Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, "Lord, I will follow You wherever You go."

nkjv@Luke:9:58 @ And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

nkjv@Luke:10:1 @ After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

nkjv@Luke:10:3 @ Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

nkjv@Luke:10:7 @ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

nkjv@Luke:10:8 @ Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

nkjv@Luke:10:9 @ And heal the sick there, and say to them, "The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:11 @ "The very dust of your city which clings to us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.'

nkjv@Luke:10:13 @ "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nkjv@Luke:10:27 @ So he answered and said, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and "your neighbor as yourself."'

nkjv@Luke:10:31 @ Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

nkjv@Luke:10:32 @ Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

nkjv@Luke:10:33 @ But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

nkjv@Luke:10:36 @ So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?"

nkjv@Luke:10:38 @ Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.

nkjv@Luke:10:40 @ But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

nkjv@Luke:10:42 @ But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

nkjv@Luke:11:1 @ Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples."

nkjv@Luke:11:2 @ So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.

nkjv@Luke:11:6 @ for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

nkjv@Luke:11:8 @ I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.

nkjv@Luke:11:9 @ "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

nkjv@Luke:11:10 @ For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

nkjv@Luke:11:11 @ If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

nkjv@Luke:11:12 @ Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

nkjv@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

nkjv@Luke:11:14 @ And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

nkjv@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

nkjv@Luke:11:18 @ If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

nkjv@Luke:11:19 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

nkjv@Luke:11:20 @ But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

nkjv@Luke:11:26 @ Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first."

nkjv@Luke:11:27 @ And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, "Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!"

nkjv@Luke:11:30 @ For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.

nkjv@Luke:11:33 @ "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

nkjv@Luke:11:36 @ If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."

nkjv@Luke:11:37 @ And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat.

nkjv@Luke:11:38 @ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.

nkjv@Luke:11:41 @ But rather give alms of such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.

nkjv@Luke:11:42 @ "But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

nkjv@Luke:11:50 @ that the blood of all the prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation,

nkjv@Luke:11:53 @ And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things,

nkjv@Luke:12:5 @ But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!

nkjv@Luke:12:10 @ "And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

nkjv@Luke:12:19 @ And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry."'

nkjv@Luke:12:21 @ "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."

nkjv@Luke:13:16 @ So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound--think of it--for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?"

nkjv@Luke:18:17 @ Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it."

nkjv@Luke:18:18 @ Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

nkjv@Luke:18:22 @ So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nkjv@Luke:18:23 @ But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.

nkjv@Luke:18:25 @ For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nkjv@Luke:18:35 @ Then it happened, as He was coming near Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the road begging.

nkjv@Luke:18:36 @ And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.

nkjv@Luke:18:37 @ So they told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.

nkjv@Luke:18:40 @ So Jesus stood still and commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,

nkjv@Luke:18:42 @ Then Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has made you well."

nkjv@Luke:19:1 @ Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

nkjv@Luke:19:2 @ Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

nkjv@Luke:19:3 @ And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

nkjv@Luke:19:4 @ So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

nkjv@Luke:19:5 @ And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nkjv@Luke:19:6 @ So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

nkjv@Luke:19:7 @ But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, "He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner."

nkjv@Luke:19:9 @ And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

nkjv@Luke:19:10 @ for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

nkjv@Luke:19:11 @ Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

nkjv@Luke:19:13 @ So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, "Do business till I come.'

nkjv@Luke:19:15 @ "And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

nkjv@Luke:19:33 @ But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"

nkjv@Luke:19:36 @ And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

nkjv@Luke:19:37 @ Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

nkjv@Luke:19:41 @ Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

nkjv@Luke:20:7 @ So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

nkjv@Luke:20:9 @ Then He began to tell the people this parable: "A certain man planted a vineyard, leased it to vinedressers, and went into a far country for a long time.

nkjv@Luke:20:12 @ And again he sent a third; and they wounded him also and cast him out.

nkjv@Luke:20:14 @ But when the vinedressers saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, "This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'

nkjv@Luke:20:15 @ So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do to them?

nkjv@Luke:20:17 @ Then He looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written: "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone'?

nkjv@Luke:21:37 @ And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet.

nkjv@Luke:22:1 @ Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called Passover.

nkjv@Luke:22:68 @ And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go.

nkjv@Luke:23:3 @ Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as you say."

nkjv@Luke:23:6 @ When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked if the Man were a Galilean.

nkjv@Luke:23:7 @ And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

nkjv@Luke:23:8 @ Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.

nkjv@Luke:23:14 @ said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;

nkjv@Luke:23:15 @ no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.

nkjv@Luke:23:16 @ I will therefore chastise Him and release Him"

nkjv@Luke:23:17 @ (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast).

nkjv@Luke:23:18 @ And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas"--

nkjv@Luke:23:20 @ Pilate, therefore, wishing to release Jesus, again called out to them.

nkjv@Luke:23:22 @ Then he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has He done? I have found no reason for death in Him. I will therefore chastise Him and let Him go."

nkjv@Luke:23:24 @ So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested.

nkjv@Luke:23:25 @ And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

nkjv@Luke:23:26 @ Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:29 @ For indeed the days are coming in which they will say, "Blessed are the barren, wombs that never bore, and breasts which never nursed!'

nkjv@Luke:23:34 @ Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.

nkjv@Luke:23:38 @ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@Luke:23:39 @ Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."

nkjv@Luke:23:41 @ And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong."

nkjv@Luke:23:43 @ And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

nkjv@Luke:23:44 @ Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.

nkjv@Luke:23:45 @ Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two.

nkjv@Luke:23:46 @ And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, "Father, "into Your hands I commit My spirit."' Having said this, He breathed His last.

nkjv@Luke:23:47 @ So when the centurion saw what had happened, he glorified God, saying, "Certainly this was a righteous Man!"

nkjv@Luke:23:48 @ And the whole crowd who came together to that sight, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.

nkjv@Luke:23:50 @ Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man.

nkjv@Luke:23:51 @ He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Luke:23:52 @ This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

nkjv@Luke:23:53 @ Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.

nkjv@Luke:23:54 @ That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

nkjv@Luke:23:55 @ And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid.

nkjv@Luke:24:4 @ And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

nkjv@Luke:24:5 @ Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?

nkjv@Luke:24:6 @ He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,

nkjv@Luke:24:10 @ It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

nkjv@Luke:24:13 @ Now behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Luke:24:15 @ So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.

nkjv@Luke:24:17 @ And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"

nkjv@Luke:24:18 @ Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, "Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?"

nkjv@Luke:24:19 @ And He said to them, "What things?" So they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,

nkjv@Luke:24:21 @ But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

nkjv@Luke:24:22 @ Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

nkjv@Luke:24:23 @ When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

nkjv@Luke:24:24 @ And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see."

nkjv@Luke:24:30 @ Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

nkjv@Luke:24:34 @ saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

nkjv@Luke:24:35 @ And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

nkjv@Luke:24:36 @ Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you."

nkjv@Luke:24:39 @ Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."

nkjv@Luke:24:44 @ Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."

nkjv@Luke:24:46 @ Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

nkjv@Luke:24:50 @ And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

nkjv@Luke:24:51 @ Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

nkjv@John:1:1 @ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

nkjv@John:1:2 @ He was in the beginning with God.

nkjv@John:1:3 @ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

nkjv@John:1:4 @ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

nkjv@John:1:6 @ There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

nkjv@John:1:8 @ He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

nkjv@John:1:9 @ That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

nkjv@John:1:10 @ He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

nkjv@John:1:12 @ But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

nkjv@John:1:14 @ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

nkjv@John:1:15 @ John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, "He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me."'

nkjv@John:1:17 @ For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@John:1:18 @ No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

nkjv@John:1:19 @ Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"

nkjv@John:1:21 @ And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

nkjv@John:1:23 @ He said: "I am "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of the LORD,"' as the prophet Isaiah said."

nkjv@John:1:25 @ And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

nkjv@John:1:28 @ These things were done in Bethabara beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

nkjv@John:1:30 @ This is He of whom I said, "After me comes a Man who is preferred before me, for He was before me.'

nkjv@John:1:36 @ And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, "Behold the Lamb of God!"

nkjv@John:1:39 @ He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where He was staying, and remained with Him that day (now it was about the tenth hour).

nkjv@John:1:40 @ One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

nkjv@John:1:42 @ And he brought him to Jesus. Now when Jesus looked at him, He said, "You are Simon the son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas" (which is translated, A Stone).

nkjv@John:1:44 @ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

nkjv@John:1:51 @ And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

nkjv@John:2:1 @ On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

nkjv@John:2:4 @ Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come."

nkjv@John:2:8 @ And He said to them, "Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast." And they took it.

nkjv@John:2:9 @ When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.

nkjv@John:2:13 @ Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:2:17 @ Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."

nkjv@John:2:20 @ Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?"

nkjv@John:2:21 @ But He was speaking of the temple of His body.

nkjv@John:2:23 @ Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.

nkjv@John:2:25 @ and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

nkjv@John:3:1 @ There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

nkjv@John:3:3 @ Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

nkjv@John:3:5 @ Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

nkjv@John:3:11 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.

nkjv@John:3:13 @ No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.

nkjv@John:3:14 @ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

nkjv@John:3:16 @ For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

nkjv@John:3:18 @ "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nkjv@John:3:19 @ And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

nkjv@John:3:23 @ Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

nkjv@John:3:26 @ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!"

nkjv@John:3:27 @ John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

nkjv@John:3:29 @ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

nkjv@John:3:30 @ He must increase, but I must decrease.

nkjv@John:3:32 @ And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony.

nkjv@John:3:33 @ He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.

nkjv@John:3:34 @ For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

nkjv@John:3:35 @ The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

nkjv@John:3:36 @ He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him."

nkjv@John:4:6 @ Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

nkjv@John:4:9 @ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

nkjv@John:4:10 @ Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nkjv@John:4:12 @ Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"

nkjv@John:4:14 @ but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."

nkjv@John:4:33 @ Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"

nkjv@John:4:44 @ For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

nkjv@John:4:45 @ So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.

nkjv@John:4:46 @ So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

nkjv@John:4:47 @ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

nkjv@John:4:51 @ And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"

nkjv@John:4:53 @ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household.

nkjv@John:5:1 @ After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

nkjv@John:5:4 @ For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

nkjv@John:5:5 @ Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years.

nkjv@John:5:9 @ And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:10 @ The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed."

nkjv@John:5:12 @ Then they asked him, "Who is the Man who said to you, "Take up your bed and walk'?"

nkjv@John:5:13 @ But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place.

nkjv@John:5:15 @ The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.

nkjv@John:5:16 @ For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill Him, because He had done these things on the Sabbath.

nkjv@John:5:17 @ But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now, and I have been working."

nkjv@John:5:18 @ Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.

nkjv@John:5:19 @ Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

nkjv@John:5:21 @ For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

nkjv@John:5:22 @ For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,

nkjv@John:5:23 @ that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

nkjv@John:5:24 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

nkjv@John:5:25 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

nkjv@John:5:26 @ For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself,

nkjv@John:5:27 @ and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man.

nkjv@John:5:30 @ I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:33 @ You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth.

nkjv@John:5:35 @ He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

nkjv@John:5:36 @ But I have a greater witness than John's; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish--the very works that I do--bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nkjv@John:5:37 @ And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

nkjv@John:6:1 @ After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.

nkjv@John:6:2 @ Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.

nkjv@John:6:4 @ Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

nkjv@John:6:9 @ "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"

nkjv@John:6:10 @ Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

nkjv@John:6:11 @ And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

nkjv@John:6:13 @ Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

nkjv@John:6:17 @ got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

nkjv@John:6:18 @ Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.

nkjv@John:6:21 @ Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.

nkjv@John:6:22 @ On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone--

nkjv@John:6:23 @ however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--

nkjv@John:6:24 @ when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

nkjv@John:6:26 @ Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

nkjv@John:6:27 @ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."

nkjv@John:6:31 @ Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'

nkjv@John:6:32 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.

nkjv@John:6:37 @ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

nkjv@John:6:39 @ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:40 @ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

nkjv@John:6:44 @ No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:45 @ It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.

nkjv@John:6:46 @ Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.

nkjv@John:6:47 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

nkjv@John:6:53 @ Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.

nkjv@John:6:54 @ Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

nkjv@John:6:57 @ As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.

nkjv@John:6:58 @ This is the bread which came down from heaven--not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."

nkjv@John:6:59 @ These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.

nkjv@John:6:62 @ What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?

nkjv@John:6:65 @ And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."

nkjv@John:6:71 @ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

nkjv@John:7:2 @ Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

nkjv@John:7:6 @ Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

nkjv@John:7:8 @ You go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come."

nkjv@John:7:10 @ But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

nkjv@John:7:11 @ Then the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?"

nkjv@John:7:12 @ And there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, "He is good"; others said, "No, on the contrary, He deceives the people."

nkjv@John:7:14 @ Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

nkjv@John:7:28 @ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nkjv@John:7:31 @ And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"

nkjv@John:7:37 @ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

nkjv@John:7:38 @ He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

nkjv@John:7:39 @ But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

nkjv@John:7:42 @ Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?"

nkjv@John:7:43 @ So there was a division among the people because of Him.

nkjv@John:7:52 @ They answered and said to him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

nkjv@John:8:4 @ they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

nkjv@John:8:6 @ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

nkjv@John:8:7 @ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."

nkjv@John:8:9 @ Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

nkjv@John:8:10 @ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"

nkjv@John:8:20 @ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.

nkjv@John:8:28 @ Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

nkjv@John:8:29 @ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."

nkjv@John:8:30 @ As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

nkjv@John:8:34 @ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

nkjv@John:8:37 @ "I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nkjv@John:8:40 @ But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

nkjv@John:8:44 @ You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

nkjv@John:8:51 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death."

nkjv@John:8:52 @ Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, "If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.'

nkjv@John:8:56 @ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad."

nkjv@John:8:58 @ Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM."

nkjv@John:8:59 @ Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

nkjv@John:9:1 @ Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.

nkjv@John:9:2 @ And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"

nkjv@John:9:5 @ As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

nkjv@John:9:7 @ And He said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.

nkjv@John:9:8 @ Therefore the neighbors and those who previously had seen that he was blind said, "Is not this he who sat and begged?"

nkjv@John:9:11 @ He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, "Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."

nkjv@John:9:13 @ They brought him who formerly was blind to the Pharisees.

nkjv@John:9:14 @ Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.

nkjv@John:9:15 @ Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see."

nkjv@John:9:16 @ Therefore some of the Pharisees said, "This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nkjv@John:9:19 @ And they asked them, saying, "Is this your son, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"

nkjv@John:9:20 @ His parents answered them and said, "We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

nkjv@John:9:21 @ but by what means he now sees we do not know, or who opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age; ask him. He will speak for himself."

nkjv@John:9:22 @ His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that He was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

nkjv@John:9:23 @ Therefore his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

nkjv@John:9:24 @ So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner."

nkjv@John:9:25 @ He answered and said, "Whether He is a sinner or not I do not know. One thing I know: that though I was blind, now I see."

nkjv@John:9:29 @ We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from."

nkjv@John:9:30 @ The man answered and said to them, "Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet He has opened my eyes!

nkjv@John:9:32 @ Since the world began it has been unheard of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was born blind.

nkjv@John:9:34 @ They answered and said to him, "You were completely born in sins, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out.

nkjv@John:9:35 @ Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"

nkjv@John:10:1 @ "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

nkjv@John:10:7 @ Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:9 @ I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

nkjv@John:10:15 @ As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

nkjv@John:10:19 @ Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.

nkjv@John:10:20 @ And many of them said, "He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?"

nkjv@John:10:21 @ Others said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"

nkjv@John:10:22 @ Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.

nkjv@John:10:26 @ But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.

nkjv@John:10:29 @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.

nkjv@John:10:33 @ The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God."

nkjv@John:10:36 @ do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, "You are blaspheming,' because I said, "I am the Son of God'?

nkjv@John:10:40 @ And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

nkjv@John:11:1 @ Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

nkjv@John:11:2 @ It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nkjv@John:11:6 @ So, when He heard that he was sick, He stayed two more days in the place where He was.

nkjv@John:11:13 @ However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

nkjv@John:11:15 @ And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."

nkjv@John:11:16 @ Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him."

nkjv@John:11:18 @ Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.

nkjv@John:11:20 @ Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.

nkjv@John:11:22 @ But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

nkjv@John:11:24 @ Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

nkjv@John:11:28 @ And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you."

nkjv@John:11:29 @ As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him.

nkjv@John:11:30 @ Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him.

nkjv@John:11:32 @ Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nkjv@John:11:33 @ Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.

nkjv@John:11:38 @ Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

nkjv@John:11:39 @ Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nkjv@John:11:41 @ Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nkjv@John:11:44 @ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

nkjv@John:11:49 @ And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,

nkjv@John:11:56 @ Then they sought Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, "What do you think--that He will not come to the feast?"

nkjv@John:11:57 @ Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if anyone knew where He was, he should report it, that they might seize Him.

nkjv@John:12:1 @ Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:2 @ There they made Him a supper; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with Him.

nkjv@John:12:3 @ Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.

nkjv@John:12:4 @ But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, who would betray Him, said,

nkjv@John:12:5 @ "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

nkjv@John:12:6 @ This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

nkjv@John:12:7 @ But Jesus said, "Let her alone; she has kept this for the day of My burial.

nkjv@John:12:9 @ Now a great many of the Jews knew that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:12:12 @ The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nkjv@John:12:14 @ Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written:

nkjv@John:12:16 @ His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.

nkjv@John:12:18 @ For this reason the people also met Him, because they heard that He had done this sign.

nkjv@John:12:19 @ The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the world has gone after Him!"

nkjv@John:12:20 @ Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.

nkjv@John:12:21 @ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nkjv@John:12:23 @ But Jesus answered them, saying, "The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.

nkjv@John:12:24 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

nkjv@John:12:29 @ Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him."

nkjv@John:12:31 @ Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nkjv@John:12:36 @ While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.

nkjv@John:12:38 @ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?"

nkjv@John:12:40 @ "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them."

nkjv@John:12:46 @ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.

nkjv@John:12:48 @ He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

nkjv@John:12:50 @ And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak."

nkjv@John:13:1 @ Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nkjv@John:13:2 @ And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,

nkjv@John:13:4 @ rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.

nkjv@John:13:5 @ After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

nkjv@John:13:8 @ Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

nkjv@John:13:10 @ Jesus said to him, "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you."

nkjv@John:13:12 @ So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nkjv@John:13:20 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nkjv@John:13:21 @ When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."

nkjv@John:13:24 @ Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.

nkjv@John:13:25 @ Then, leaning back on Jesus' breast, he said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"

nkjv@John:13:26 @ Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

nkjv@John:13:28 @ But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

nkjv@John:13:29 @ For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, "Buy those things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

nkjv@John:13:30 @ Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

nkjv@John:13:33 @ Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to you.

nkjv@John:14:9 @ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

nkjv@John:18:2 @ And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

nkjv@John:18:3 @ Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

nkjv@John:18:5 @ They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them.

nkjv@John:18:13 @ And they led Him away to Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that year.

nkjv@John:18:15 @ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:16 @ But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in.

nkjv@John:18:18 @ Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

nkjv@John:18:19 @ The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples and His doctrine.

nkjv@John:18:21 @ Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said."

nkjv@John:18:24 @ Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.

nkjv@John:18:28 @ Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover.

nkjv@John:18:37 @ Pilate therefore said to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nkjv@John:18:39 @ "But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"

nkjv@John:19:11 @ Jesus answered, "You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nkjv@John:19:12 @ From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

nkjv@John:19:14 @ Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your King!"

nkjv@John:19:19 @ Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

nkjv@John:19:20 @ Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.

nkjv@John:19:23 @ Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

nkjv@John:19:24 @ They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

nkjv@John:19:25 @ Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

nkjv@John:19:29 @ Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth.

nkjv@John:19:31 @ Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.

nkjv@John:19:32 @ Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him.

nkjv@John:19:33 @ But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

nkjv@John:19:35 @ And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe.

nkjv@John:19:38 @ After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

nkjv@John:19:40 @ Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

nkjv@John:19:41 @ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

nkjv@John:19:42 @ So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby.

nkjv@John:20:1 @ Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

nkjv@John:20:9 @ For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

nkjv@John:20:11 @ But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb.

nkjv@John:20:14 @ Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:20:17 @ Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."'

nkjv@John:20:19 @ Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you."

nkjv@John:20:21 @ So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nkjv@John:20:24 @ Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

nkjv@John:20:26 @ And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!"

nkjv@John:20:27 @ Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."

nkjv@John:20:28 @ And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

nkjv@John:20:29 @ Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

nkjv@John:21:1 @ After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:

nkjv@John:21:2 @ Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.

nkjv@John:21:4 @ But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.

nkjv@John:21:6 @ And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.

nkjv@John:21:7 @ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.

nkjv@John:21:9 @ Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.

nkjv@John:21:11 @ Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.

nkjv@John:21:12 @ Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?"--knowing that it was the Lord.

nkjv@John:21:14 @ This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.

nkjv@John:21:15 @ So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Feed My lambs."

nkjv@John:21:17 @ He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep.

nkjv@John:21:18 @ Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish."

nkjv@John:21:20 @ Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

nkjv@Acts:1:2 @ until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

nkjv@Acts:1:4 @ And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me;

nkjv@Acts:1:6 @ Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?"

nkjv@Acts:1:7 @ And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

nkjv@Acts:1:8 @ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

nkjv@Acts:1:9 @ Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

nkjv@Acts:1:10 @ And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,

nkjv@Acts:1:11 @ who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

nkjv@Acts:1:13 @ And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.

nkjv@Acts:1:15 @ And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said,

nkjv@Acts:1:16 @ "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;

nkjv@Acts:1:17 @ for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry."

nkjv@Acts:1:18 @ (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out.

nkjv@Acts:1:22 @ beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

nkjv@Acts:1:23 @ And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

nkjv@Acts:1:25 @ to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."

nkjv@Acts:1:26 @ And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

nkjv@Acts:2:2 @ And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

nkjv@Acts:2:3 @ Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

nkjv@Acts:2:4 @ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

nkjv@Acts:2:9 @ Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

nkjv@Acts:2:15 @ For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.

nkjv@Acts:2:16 @ But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

nkjv@Acts:2:17 @ "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

nkjv@Acts:2:22 @ "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know--

nkjv@Acts:2:24 @ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

nkjv@Acts:2:26 @ Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.

nkjv@Acts:2:31 @ he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.

nkjv@Acts:2:32 @ This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

nkjv@Acts:2:34 @ "For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: "The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand,

nkjv@Acts:2:42 @ And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

nkjv@Acts:2:45 @ and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

nkjv@Acts:3:2 @ And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

nkjv@Acts:3:3 @ who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

nkjv@Acts:3:10 @ Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

nkjv@Acts:3:11 @ Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's, greatly amazed.

nkjv@Acts:3:12 @ So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: "Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

nkjv@Acts:3:13 @ The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.

nkjv@Acts:3:14 @ But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

nkjv@Acts:3:16 @ And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

nkjv@Acts:3:17 @ "Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

nkjv@Acts:4:1 @ Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,

nkjv@Acts:4:3 @ And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

nkjv@Acts:4:6 @ as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:4:7 @ And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, "By what power or by what name have you done this?"

nkjv@Acts:4:9 @ If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well,

nkjv@Acts:4:11 @ This is the "stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'

nkjv@Acts:4:16 @ saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nkjv@Acts:4:22 @ For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

nkjv@Acts:4:31 @ And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

nkjv@Acts:4:32 @ Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

nkjv@Acts:4:33 @ And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

nkjv@Acts:4:34 @ Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

nkjv@Acts:4:35 @ and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

nkjv@Acts:4:36 @ And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus,

nkjv@Acts:5:1 @ But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.

nkjv@Acts:5:3 @ But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

nkjv@Acts:5:4 @ While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

nkjv@Acts:5:5 @ Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.

nkjv@Acts:5:7 @ Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

nkjv@Acts:5:10 @ Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband.

nkjv@Acts:5:14 @ And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

nkjv@Acts:5:15 @ so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

nkjv@Acts:5:27 @ And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,

nkjv@Acts:5:31 @ Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

nkjv@Acts:5:32 @ And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him."

nkjv@Acts:5:36 @ For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing.

nkjv@Acts:5:37 @ After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed.

nkjv@Acts:5:42 @ And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:6:1 @ Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution.

nkjv@Acts:6:5 @ And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch,

nkjv@Acts:6:9 @ Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen.

nkjv@Acts:6:11 @ Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God."

nkjv@Acts:6:13 @ They also set up false witnesses who said, "This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law;

nkjv@Acts:9:18 @ Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized.

nkjv@Acts:9:19 @ So when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then Saul spent some days with the disciples at Damascus.

nkjv@Acts:9:21 @ Then all who heard were amazed, and said, "Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?"

nkjv@Acts:9:22 @ But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:9:23 @ Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him.

nkjv@Acts:9:25 @ Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

nkjv@Acts:9:26 @ And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple.

nkjv@Acts:9:43 @ So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.

nkjv@Acts:10:1 @ There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

nkjv@Acts:10:4 @ And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, "What is it, lord?" So he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God.

nkjv@Acts:10:9 @ The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour.

nkjv@Acts:10:12 @ In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

nkjv@Acts:10:15 @ And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has cleansed you must not call common."

nkjv@Acts:10:16 @ This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.

nkjv@Acts:10:18 @ And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.

nkjv@Acts:10:21 @ Then Peter went down to the men who had been sent to him from Cornelius, and said, "Yes, I am he whom you seek. For what reason have you come?"

nkjv@Acts:10:22 @ And they said, "Cornelius the centurion, a just man, one who fears God and has a good reputation among all the nation of the Jews, was divinely instructed by a holy angel to summon you to his house, and to hear words from you."

nkjv@Acts:10:24 @ And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends.

nkjv@Acts:10:25 @ As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him.

nkjv@Acts:10:27 @ And as he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together.

nkjv@Acts:10:28 @ Then he said to them, "You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

nkjv@Acts:10:29 @ Therefore I came without objection as soon as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?"

nkjv@Acts:10:30 @ So Cornelius said, "Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

nkjv@Acts:10:31 @ and said, "Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God.

nkjv@Acts:10:37 @ that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

nkjv@Acts:10:38 @ how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

nkjv@Acts:10:42 @ And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

nkjv@Acts:10:44 @ While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.

nkjv@Acts:10:45 @ And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

nkjv@Acts:10:47 @ "Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?"

nkjv@Acts:10:48 @ And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days.

nkjv@Acts:11:5 @ "I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object descending like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came to me.

nkjv@Acts:11:6 @ When I observed it intently and considered, I saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air.

nkjv@Acts:11:8 @ But I said, "Not so, Lord! For nothing common or unclean has at any time entered my mouth.'

nkjv@Acts:11:9 @ But the voice answered me again from heaven, "What God has cleansed you must not call common.'

nkjv@Acts:11:10 @ Now this was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

nkjv@Acts:11:11 @ At that very moment, three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

nkjv@Acts:11:15 @ And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.

nkjv@Acts:11:17 @ If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"

nkjv@Acts:11:18 @ When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life."

nkjv@Acts:11:19 @ Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

nkjv@Acts:11:21 @ And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:22 @ Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:23 @ When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:24 @ For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:11:25 @ Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul.

nkjv@Acts:11:26 @ And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nkjv@Acts:11:28 @ Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar.

nkjv@Acts:11:30 @ This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:12:1 @ Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:3 @ And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. Now it was during the Days of Unleavened Bread.

nkjv@Acts:12:4 @ So when he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover.

nkjv@Acts:12:5 @ Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

nkjv@Acts:12:6 @ And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

nkjv@Acts:12:9 @ So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

nkjv@Acts:12:10 @ When they were past the first and the second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

nkjv@Acts:12:11 @ And when Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."

nkjv@Acts:12:12 @ So, when he had considered this, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying.

nkjv@Acts:12:13 @ And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.

nkjv@Acts:12:15 @ But they said to her, "You are beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, "It is his angel."

nkjv@Acts:12:16 @ Now Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.

nkjv@Acts:12:18 @ Then, as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

nkjv@Acts:12:20 @ Now Herod had been very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's personal aide their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food by the king's country.

nkjv@Acts:12:23 @ Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.

nkjv@Acts:12:25 @ And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark.

nkjv@Acts:13:1 @ Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

nkjv@Acts:13:2 @ As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nkjv@Acts:13:3 @ Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

nkjv@Acts:13:5 @ And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.

nkjv@Acts:13:6 @ Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nkjv@Acts:13:7 @ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:8 @ But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nkjv@Acts:13:10 @ and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

nkjv@Acts:13:12 @ Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

nkjv@Acts:13:17 @ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He brought them out of it.

nkjv@Acts:13:21 @ And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

nkjv@Acts:13:22 @ And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.'

nkjv@Acts:13:25 @ And as John was finishing his course, he said, "Who do you think I am? I am not He. But behold, there comes One after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'

nkjv@Acts:13:26 @ "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent.

nkjv@Acts:13:28 @ And though they found no cause for death in Him, they asked Pilate that He should be put to death.

nkjv@Acts:13:29 @ Now when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

nkjv@Acts:13:31 @ He was seen for many days by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.

nkjv@Acts:13:32 @ And we declare to you glad tidings--that promise which was made to the fathers.

nkjv@Acts:13:33 @ God has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.'

nkjv@Acts:13:34 @ And that He raised Him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has spoken thus: "I will give you the sure mercies of David.'

nkjv@Acts:13:36 @ "For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption;

nkjv@Acts:13:40 @ Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:

nkjv@Acts:13:43 @ Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:13:45 @ But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:13:46 @ Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, "It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:13:47 @ For so the Lord has commanded us: "I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."'

nkjv@Acts:13:48 @ Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed.

nkjv@Acts:13:49 @ And the word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.

nkjv@Acts:13:50 @ But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, raised up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region.

nkjv@Acts:14:3 @ Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

nkjv@Acts:14:4 @ But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

nkjv@Acts:14:5 @ And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

nkjv@Acts:14:8 @ And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nkjv@Acts:14:12 @ And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

nkjv@Acts:14:13 @ Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.

nkjv@Acts:14:14 @ But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out

nkjv@Acts:14:15 @ and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,

nkjv@Acts:14:17 @ Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness."

nkjv@Acts:14:20 @ However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

nkjv@Acts:14:23 @ So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

nkjv@Acts:14:24 @ And after they had passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.

nkjv@Acts:15:2 @ Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.

nkjv@Acts:15:3 @ So, being sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:8 @ So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us,

nkjv@Acts:15:11 @ But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they."

nkjv@Acts:15:12 @ Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the Gentiles.

nkjv@Acts:15:14 @ Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name.

nkjv@Acts:15:15 @ And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:

nkjv@Acts:15:16 @ 'After this I will return And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;

nkjv@Acts:15:21 @ For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."

nkjv@Acts:15:22 @ Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas who was also named Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

nkjv@Acts:15:25 @ it seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

nkjv@Acts:15:27 @ We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who will also report the same things by word of mouth.

nkjv@Acts:15:32 @ Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words.

nkjv@Acts:15:34 @ However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there.

nkjv@Acts:15:35 @ Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

nkjv@Acts:15:36 @ Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing."

nkjv@Acts:15:37 @ Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark.

nkjv@Acts:15:39 @ Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus;

nkjv@Acts:15:40 @ but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

nkjv@Acts:16:1 @ Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:2 @ He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra and Iconium.

nkjv@Acts:16:3 @ Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

nkjv@Acts:16:4 @ And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were determined by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem.

nkjv@Acts:16:5 @ So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

nkjv@Acts:16:6 @ Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.

nkjv@Acts:16:8 @ So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

nkjv@Acts:16:11 @ Therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day came to Neapolis,

nkjv@Acts:16:13 @ And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the riverside, where prayer was customarily made; and we sat down and spoke to the women who met there.

nkjv@Acts:16:14 @ Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:16:16 @ Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

nkjv@Acts:16:19 @ But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.

nkjv@Acts:16:24 @ Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

nkjv@Acts:16:25 @ But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

nkjv@Acts:16:26 @ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.

nkjv@Acts:16:27 @ And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

nkjv@Acts:16:29 @ Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.

nkjv@Acts:16:33 @ And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

nkjv@Acts:16:35 @ And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, "Let those men go."

nkjv@Acts:16:39 @ Then they came and pleaded with them and brought them out, and asked them to depart from the city.

nkjv@Acts:17:1 @ Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:2 @ Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

nkjv@Acts:17:4 @ And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.

nkjv@Acts:17:5 @ But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

nkjv@Acts:17:6 @ But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.

nkjv@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king--Jesus."

nkjv@Acts:17:9 @ So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

nkjv@Acts:17:10 @ Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:17:12 @ Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.

nkjv@Acts:17:13 @ But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds.

nkjv@Acts:17:14 @ Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

nkjv@Acts:17:15 @ So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.

nkjv@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

nkjv@Acts:17:17 @ Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there.

nkjv@Acts:17:23 @ for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:

nkjv@Acts:17:25 @ Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.

nkjv@Acts:17:26 @ And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,

nkjv@Acts:17:28 @ for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, "For we are also His offspring.'

nkjv@Acts:17:31 @ because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

nkjv@Acts:18:3 @ So, because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked; for by occupation they were tentmakers.

nkjv@Acts:18:4 @ And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

nkjv@Acts:18:5 @ When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

nkjv@Acts:18:6 @ But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nkjv@Acts:18:7 @ And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

nkjv@Acts:18:12 @ When Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,

nkjv@Acts:18:14 @ And when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrongdoing or wicked crimes, O Jews, there would be reason why I should bear with you.

nkjv@Acts:18:19 @ And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

nkjv@Acts:18:20 @ When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent,

nkjv@Acts:18:21 @ but took leave of them, saying, "I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing." And he sailed from Ephesus.

nkjv@Acts:18:26 @ So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

nkjv@Acts:19:1 @ And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples

nkjv@Acts:19:2 @ he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit."

nkjv@Acts:19:8 @ And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Acts:19:9 @ But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

nkjv@Acts:19:10 @ And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

nkjv@Acts:19:12 @ so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

nkjv@Acts:19:16 @ Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

nkjv@Acts:19:17 @ This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

nkjv@Acts:19:21 @ When these things were accomplished, Paul purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nkjv@Acts:19:22 @ So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

nkjv@Acts:19:26 @ Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands.

nkjv@Acts:19:27 @ So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship."

nkjv@Acts:19:29 @ So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's travel companions.

nkjv@Acts:19:31 @ Then some of the officials of Asia, who were his friends, sent to him pleading that he would not venture into the theater.

nkjv@Acts:19:32 @ Some therefore cried one thing and some another, for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.

nkjv@Acts:19:34 @ But when they found out that he was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!"

nkjv@Acts:19:36 @ Therefore, since these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet and do nothing rashly.

nkjv@Acts:19:37 @ For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

nkjv@Acts:19:38 @ Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen have a case against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them bring charges against one another.

nkjv@Acts:19:39 @ But if you have any other inquiry to make, it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.

nkjv@Acts:19:40 @ For we are in danger of being called in question for today's uproar, there being no reason which we may give to account for this disorderly gathering."

nkjv@Acts:19:41 @ And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.

nkjv@Acts:20:1 @ After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and departed to go to Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:3 @ and stayed three months. And when the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

nkjv@Acts:20:4 @ And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia--also Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

nkjv@Acts:20:5 @ These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.

nkjv@Acts:20:6 @ But we sailed away from Philippi after the Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.

nkjv@Acts:20:9 @ And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.

nkjv@Acts:20:13 @ Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot.

nkjv@Acts:20:14 @ And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nkjv@Acts:20:16 @ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.

nkjv@Acts:20:18 @ And when they had come to him, he said to them: "You know, from the first day that I came to Asia, in what manner I always lived among you,

nkjv@Acts:20:20 @ how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,

nkjv@Acts:20:28 @ Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.

nkjv@Acts:20:31 @ Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

nkjv@Acts:21:1 @ Now it came to pass, that when we had departed from them and set sail, running a straight course we came to Cos, the following day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

nkjv@Acts:21:3 @ When we had sighted Cyprus, we passed it on the left, sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

nkjv@Acts:21:8 @ On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

nkjv@Acts:21:10 @ And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

nkjv@Acts:21:14 @ So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

nkjv@Acts:21:16 @ Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

nkjv@Acts:21:22 @ What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.

nkjv@Acts:21:27 @ Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, stirred up the whole crowd and laid hands on him,

nkjv@Acts:21:28 @ crying out, "Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, the law, and this place; and furthermore he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

nkjv@Acts:21:30 @ And all the city was disturbed; and the people ran together, seized Paul, and dragged him out of the temple; and immediately the doors were shut.

nkjv@Acts:21:31 @ Now as they were seeking to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

nkjv@Acts:21:33 @ Then the commander came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and he asked who he was and what he had done.

nkjv@Acts:21:34 @ And some among the multitude cried one thing and some another. So when he could not ascertain the truth because of the tumult, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.

nkjv@Acts:21:37 @ Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I speak to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek?

nkjv@Acts:21:38 @ Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?"

nkjv@Acts:21:40 @ So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned with his hand to the people. And when there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

nkjv@Acts:22:3 @ "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.

nkjv@Acts:22:5 @ as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the council of the elders, from whom I also received letters to the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring in chains even those who were there to Jerusalem to be punished.

nkjv@Acts:22:6 @ "Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me.

nkjv@Acts:22:10 @ So I said, "What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, "Arise and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all things which are appointed for you to do.'

nkjv@Acts:22:11 @ And since I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

nkjv@Acts:22:12 @ "Then a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good testimony with all the Jews who dwelt there,

nkjv@Acts:22:14 @ Then he said, "The God of our fathers has chosen you that you should know His will, and see the Just One, and hear the voice of His mouth.

nkjv@Acts:22:16 @ And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'

nkjv@Acts:22:17 @ "Now it happened, when I returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance

nkjv@Acts:22:18 @ and saw Him saying to me, "Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not receive your testimony concerning Me.'

nkjv@Acts:22:20 @ And when the blood of Your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by consenting to his death, and guarding the clothes of those who were killing him.'

nkjv@Acts:22:23 @ Then, as they cried out and tore off their clothes and threw dust into the air,

nkjv@Acts:22:25 @ And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?"

nkjv@Acts:22:28 @ The commander answered, "With a large sum I obtained this citizenship." And Paul said, "But I was born a citizen."

nkjv@Acts:22:29 @ Then immediately those who were about to examine him withdrew from him; and the commander was also afraid after he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

nkjv@Acts:22:30 @ The next day, because he wanted to know for certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released him from his bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

nkjv@Acts:23:2 @ And the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

nkjv@Acts:23:3 @ Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?"

nkjv@Acts:23:5 @ Then Paul said, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people."'

nkjv@Acts:23:7 @ And when he had said this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the assembly was divided.

nkjv@Acts:23:9 @ Then there arose a loud outcry. And the scribes of the Pharisees' party arose and protested, saying, "We find no evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God."

nkjv@Acts:23:11 @ But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."

nkjv@Acts:23:12 @ And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

nkjv@Acts:23:15 @ Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near."

nkjv@Acts:23:17 @ Then Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to tell him."

nkjv@Acts:23:18 @ So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you."

nkjv@Acts:23:19 @ Then the commander took him by the hand, went aside, and asked privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"

nkjv@Acts:23:20 @ And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask that you bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they were going to inquire more fully about him.

nkjv@Acts:23:26 @ Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

nkjv@Acts:23:27 @ This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them. Coming with the troops I rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nkjv@Acts:23:28 @ And when I wanted to know the reason they accused him, I brought him before their council.

nkjv@Acts:23:29 @ I found out that he was accused concerning questions of their law, but had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.

nkjv@Acts:23:30 @ And when it was told me that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him immediately to you, and also commanded his accusers to state before you the charges against him. Farewell.

nkjv@Acts:23:31 @ Then the soldiers, as they were commanded, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

nkjv@Acts:23:34 @ And when the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. And when he understood that he was from Cilicia,

nkjv@Acts:24:1 @ Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul.

nkjv@Acts:24:2 @ And when he was called upon, Tertullus began his accusation, saying: "Seeing that through you we enjoy great peace, and prosperity is being brought to this nation by your foresight,

nkjv@Acts:24:7 @ But the commander Lysias came by and with great violence took him out of our hands,

nkjv@Acts:24:8 @ commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

nkjv@Acts:24:9 @ And the Jews also assented, maintaining that these things were so.

nkjv@Acts:24:10 @ Then Paul, after the governor had nodded to him to speak, answered: "Inasmuch as I know that you have been for many years a judge of this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself,

nkjv@Acts:24:11 @ because you may ascertain that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.

nkjv@Acts:24:18 @ in the midst of which some Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with a mob nor with tumult.

nkjv@Acts:24:22 @ But when Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the Way, he adjourned the proceedings and said, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will make a decision on your case."

nkjv@Acts:24:24 @ And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

nkjv@Acts:24:25 @ Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answered, "Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you."

nkjv@Acts:24:26 @ Meanwhile he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore he sent for him more often and conversed with him.

nkjv@Acts:25:3 @ asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem--while they lay in ambush along the road to kill him.

nkjv@Acts:25:4 @ But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there shortly.

nkjv@Acts:25:10 @ So Paul said, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know.

nkjv@Acts:25:14 @ When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix,

nkjv@Acts:25:15 @ about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him.

nkjv@Acts:25:16 @ To them I answered, "It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.'

nkjv@Acts:25:18 @ When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I supposed,

nkjv@Acts:25:20 @ And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

nkjv@Acts:25:23 @ So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and had entered the auditorium with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at Festus' command Paul was brought in.

nkjv@Acts:25:24 @ And Festus said: "King Agrippa and all the men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he was not fit to live any longer.

nkjv@Acts:25:26 @ I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write.

nkjv@Acts:25:27 @ For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him."

nkjv@Acts:26:4 @ "My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know.

nkjv@Acts:26:10 @ This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

nkjv@Acts:26:11 @ And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

nkjv@Acts:26:12 @ "While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

nkjv@Acts:26:17 @ I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

nkjv@Acts:26:19 @ "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

nkjv@Acts:26:20 @ but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.

nkjv@Acts:26:21 @ For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

nkjv@Acts:26:24 @ Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!"

nkjv@Acts:26:25 @ But he said, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason.

nkjv@Acts:26:26 @ For the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner.

nkjv@Acts:26:29 @ And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains."

nkjv@Acts:26:30 @ When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them;

nkjv@Acts:26:31 @ and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."

nkjv@Acts:27:1 @ And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

nkjv@Acts:27:2 @ So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

nkjv@Acts:27:8 @ Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

nkjv@Acts:27:9 @ Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,

nkjv@Acts:27:10 @ saying, "Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives."

nkjv@Acts:27:11 @ Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

nkjv@Acts:27:12 @ And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

nkjv@Acts:27:15 @ So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.

nkjv@Acts:27:20 @ Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

nkjv@Acts:27:21 @ But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, "Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

nkjv@Acts:27:24 @ saying, "Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

nkjv@Acts:27:25 @ Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

nkjv@Acts:27:27 @ Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.

nkjv@Acts:27:30 @ And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,

nkjv@Acts:27:33 @ And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

nkjv@Acts:27:39 @ When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.

nkjv@Acts:27:41 @ But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.

nkjv@Acts:27:42 @ And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.

nkjv@Acts:27:44 @ and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

nkjv@Acts:28:1 @ Now when they had escaped, they then found out that the island was called Malta.

nkjv@Acts:28:2 @ And the natives showed us unusual kindness; for they kindled a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.

nkjv@Acts:28:3 @ But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

nkjv@Acts:28:4 @ So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live."

nkjv@Acts:28:6 @ However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.

nkjv@Acts:28:7 @ In that region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days.

nkjv@Acts:28:9 @ So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.

nkjv@Acts:28:10 @ They also honored us in many ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.

nkjv@Acts:28:11 @ After three months we sailed in an Alexandrian ship whose figurehead was the Twin Brothers, which had wintered at the island.

nkjv@Acts:28:15 @ And from there, when the brethren heard about us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

nkjv@Acts:28:16 @ Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

nkjv@Acts:28:17 @ And it came to pass after three days that Paul called the leaders of the Jews together. So when they had come together, he said to them: "Men and brethren, though I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,

nkjv@Acts:28:18 @ who, when they had examined me, wanted to let me go, because there was no cause for putting me to death.

nkjv@Acts:28:19 @ But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything of which to accuse my nation.

nkjv@Acts:28:20 @ For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak with you, because for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."

nkjv@Acts:28:28 @ "Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!"

nkjv@Romans:1:3 @ concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:1:9 @ For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,

nkjv@Romans:1:10 @ making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

nkjv@Romans:1:13 @ Now I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that I often planned to come to you (but was hindered until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, just as among the other Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:1:15 @ So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also.

nkjv@Romans:1:16 @ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

nkjv@Romans:1:17 @ For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

nkjv@Romans:1:19 @ because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

nkjv@Romans:1:21 @ because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

nkjv@Romans:1:26 @ For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

nkjv@Romans:1:27 @ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, 1men with 1men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

nkjv@Romans:1:28 @ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

nkjv@Romans:1:30 @ backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

nkjv@Romans:2:5 @ But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nkjv@Romans:2:12 @ For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law

nkjv@Romans:2:17 @ Indeed you are called a Jew, and rest on the law, and make your boast in God,

nkjv@Romans:2:23 @ You who make your boast in the law, do you dishonor God through breaking the law?

nkjv@Romans:2:24 @ For "the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you," as it is written.

nkjv@Romans:2:25 @ For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nkjv@Romans:2:26 @ Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:3:1 @ What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?

nkjv@Romans:3:4 @ Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged."

nkjv@Romans:3:5 @ But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? (I speak as a man.)

nkjv@Romans:3:7 @ For if the truth of God has increased through my lie to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

nkjv@Romans:3:8 @ And why not say, "Let us do evil that good may come"?--as we are slanderously reported and as some affirm that we say. Their condemnation is just.

nkjv@Romans:3:10 @ As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one;

nkjv@Romans:3:12 @ They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one."

nkjv@Romans:3:13 @ "Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit"; "The poison of asps is under their lips";

nkjv@Romans:3:25 @ whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed,

nkjv@Romans:3:26 @ to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nkjv@Romans:3:27 @ Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

nkjv@Romans:4:1 @ What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

nkjv@Romans:4:2 @ For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

nkjv@Romans:4:3 @ For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Romans:4:4 @ Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

nkjv@Romans:4:6 @ just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:

nkjv@Romans:4:9 @ Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:4:10 @ How then was it accounted? While he was circumcised, or uncircumcised? Not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.

nkjv@Romans:4:13 @ For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

nkjv@Romans:4:17 @ (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations" ) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

nkjv@Romans:4:18 @ who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

nkjv@Romans:4:19 @ And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.

nkjv@Romans:4:20 @ He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

nkjv@Romans:4:21 @ and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

nkjv@Romans:4:22 @ And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Romans:4:23 @ Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,

nkjv@Romans:4:25 @ who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification.

nkjv@Romans:5:5 @ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

nkjv@Romans:5:12 @ Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nkjv@Romans:5:13 @ (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

nkjv@Romans:5:14 @ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nkjv@Romans:5:18 @ Therefore, as through one man's offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

nkjv@Romans:5:19 @ For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous.

nkjv@Romans:5:21 @ so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

nkjv@Romans:6:3 @ Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

nkjv@Romans:6:4 @ Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

nkjv@Romans:6:6 @ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

nkjv@Romans:6:7 @ For he who has died has been freed from sin.

nkjv@Romans:6:9 @ knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

nkjv@Romans:6:13 @ And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nkjv@Romans:6:19 @ I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

nkjv@Romans:6:21 @ What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

nkjv@Romans:6:22 @ But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

nkjv@Romans:7:1 @ Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

nkjv@Romans:7:2 @ For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

nkjv@Romans:7:3 @ So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man.

nkjv@Romans:7:4 @ Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another--to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

nkjv@Romans:7:5 @ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death.

nkjv@Romans:7:8 @ But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

nkjv@Romans:7:9 @ I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

nkjv@Romans:7:10 @ And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

nkjv@Romans:7:11 @ For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

nkjv@Romans:7:13 @ Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

nkjv@Romans:8:2 @ For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

nkjv@Romans:8:3 @ For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

nkjv@Romans:8:8 @ So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

nkjv@Romans:8:14 @ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

nkjv@Romans:8:20 @ For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

nkjv@Romans:8:26 @ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

nkjv@Romans:8:36 @ As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."

nkjv@Romans:9:6 @ But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

nkjv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

nkjv@Romans:9:12 @ it was said to her, "The older shall serve the younger."

nkjv@Romans:9:13 @ As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."

nkjv@Romans:9:15 @ For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion."

nkjv@Romans:9:18 @ Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.

nkjv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?"

nkjv@Romans:9:25 @ As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved."

nkjv@Romans:9:26 @ "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God."

nkjv@Romans:9:27 @ Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:9:29 @ And as Isaiah said before: "Unless the LORD of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And we would have been made like Gomorrah."

nkjv@Romans:9:31 @ but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness.

nkjv@Romans:9:32 @ Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone.

nkjv@Romans:9:33 @ As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

nkjv@Romans:10:6 @ But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, "Who will ascend into heaven?"' (that is, to bring Christ down from above)

nkjv@Romans:10:9 @ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

nkjv@Romans:10:15 @ And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!"

nkjv@Romans:10:16 @ But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed our report?"

nkjv@Romans:10:18 @ But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: "Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world."

nkjv@Romans:10:20 @ But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me."

nkjv@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

nkjv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

nkjv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

nkjv@Romans:11:8 @ Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day."

nkjv@Romans:11:11 @ I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

nkjv@Romans:11:13 @ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

nkjv@Romans:11:15 @ For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

nkjv@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

nkjv@Romans:11:25 @ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

nkjv@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

nkjv@Romans:11:30 @ For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

nkjv@Romans:11:32 @ For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

nkjv@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

nkjv@Romans:11:34 @ "For who has known the mind of the LORD? Or who has become His counselor?"

nkjv@Romans:11:35 @ "Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?"

nkjv@Romans:12:1 @ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

nkjv@Romans:12:3 @ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

nkjv@Romans:12:4 @ For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function,

nkjv@Romans:12:12 @ rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

nkjv@Romans:12:16 @ Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

nkjv@Romans:12:18 @ If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

nkjv@Romans:13:8 @ Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

nkjv@Romans:13:9 @ For the commandments, "You shall not commit adultery," "You shall not murder," "You shall not steal," "You shall not bear false witness," "You shall not covet," and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Romans:13:12 @ The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

nkjv@Romans:13:13 @ Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

nkjv@Romans:14:3 @ Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.

nkjv@Romans:14:4 @ Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

nkjv@Romans:14:11 @ For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."

nkjv@Romans:14:16 @ Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil;

nkjv@Romans:15:1 @ We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

nkjv@Romans:15:2 @ Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

nkjv@Romans:15:3 @ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me."

nkjv@Romans:15:7 @ Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

nkjv@Romans:15:8 @ Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

nkjv@Romans:15:9 @ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: "For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name."

nkjv@Romans:15:15 @ Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, because of the grace given to me by God,

nkjv@Romans:15:17 @ Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.

nkjv@Romans:15:18 @ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient--

nkjv@Romans:15:20 @ And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation,

nkjv@Romans:15:21 @ but as it is written: "To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand."

nkjv@Romans:15:22 @ For this reason I also have been much hindered from coming to you.

nkjv@Romans:15:26 @ For it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Romans:15:27 @ It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things.

nkjv@Romans:16:2 @ that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.

nkjv@Romans:16:8 @ Greet Amplias, my beloved in the Lord.

nkjv@Romans:16:14 @ Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren who are with them.

nkjv@Romans:16:15 @ Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them.

nkjv@Romans:16:19 @ For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

nkjv@Romans:16:21 @ Timothy, my fellow worker, and Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my countrymen, greet you.

nkjv@Romans:16:23 @ Gaius, my host and the host of the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the treasurer of the city, greets you, and Quartus, a brother.

nkjv@Romans:16:26 @ but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith--

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:4 @ I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:6 @ even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:11 @ For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:12 @ Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:13 @ Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:16 @ Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:20 @ Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:21 @ For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:27 @ But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:28 @ and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

nkjv@1Corinthians:1:31 @ that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:3 @ I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:4 @ And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:9 @ But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:10 @ But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:2:16 @ For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:1 @ And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:5 @ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:6 @ I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:7 @ So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:10 @ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:14 @ If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:15 @ If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:21 @ Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

nkjv@1Corinthians:3:22 @ whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come--all are yours.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:1 @ Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:7 @ For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:8 @ You are already full! You are already rich! You have reigned as kings without us--and indeed I could wish you did reign, that we also might reign with you!

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:9 @ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:13 @ being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:14 @ I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:17 @ For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:4:18 @ Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:1 @ It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as is not even named among the Gentiles--that a man has his father's wife!

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:2 @ And you are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he who has done this deed might be taken away from among you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:3 @ For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged (as though I were present) him who has so done this deed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:7 @ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

nkjv@1Corinthians:5:8 @ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:4 @ If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?

nkjv@1Corinthians:6:11 @ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:5 @ Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:6 @ But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:7 @ For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:8 @ But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am;

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:9 @ but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:12 @ But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:13 @ And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:15 @ But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:17 @ But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:18 @ Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:20 @ Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:24 @ Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:26 @ I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress--that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:28 @ But even if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Nevertheless such will have trouble in the flesh, but I would spare you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:29 @ But this I say, brethren, the time is short, so that from now on even those who have wives should be as though they had none,

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:30 @ those who weep as though they did not weep, those who rejoice as though they did not rejoice, those who buy as though they did not possess,

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:31 @ and those who use this world as not misusing it. For the form of this world is passing away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:32 @ But I want you to be without care. He who is unmarried cares for the things of the Lord--how he may please the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:33 @ But he who is married cares about the things of the world--how he may please his wife.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:34 @ There is a difference between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she who is married cares about the things of the world--how she may please her husband.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:35 @ And this I say for your own profit, not that I may put a leash on you, but for what is proper, and that you may serve the Lord without distraction.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:36 @ But if any man thinks he is behaving improperly toward his virgin, if she is past the flower of youth, and thus it must be, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin; let them marry.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:37 @ Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:39 @ A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:7:40 @ But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment--and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:2 @ And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:5 @ For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords),

nkjv@1Corinthians:8:7 @ However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:5 @ Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:6 @ Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also?

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:14 @ Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:15 @ But I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:16 @ For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:20 @ and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:21 @ to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ ), that I might win those who are without law;

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:22 @ to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

nkjv@1Corinthians:9:26 @ Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:1 @ Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea,

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:4 @ and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:5 @ But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:6 @ Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:7 @ And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:8 @ Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:9 @ nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:10 @ nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:11 @ Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:13 @ No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:15 @ I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:25 @ Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake;

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:27 @ If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake.

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:28 @ But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the LORD's, and all its fullness."

nkjv@1Corinthians:10:33 @ just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:1 @ Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:2 @ Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:5 @ But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:9 @ Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:10 @ For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:12 @ For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:14 @ Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him?

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:15 @ But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:18 @ For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:23 @ For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread;

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:25 @ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:26 @ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:30 @ For this reason many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:11:32 @ But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:11 @ But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:12 @ For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:18 @ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.

nkjv@1Corinthians:12:28 @ And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:1 @ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:8 @ Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:10 @ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:11 @ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

nkjv@1Corinthians:13:12 @ For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:9 @ So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:26 @ How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:33 @ For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:34 @ Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:35 @ And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

nkjv@1Corinthians:14:36 @ Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:2 @ by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:4 @ and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:5 @ and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:6 @ After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:7 @ After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:8 @ Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:9 @ For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:10 @ But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:11 @ Therefore, whether it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:12 @ Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:18 @ Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:20 @ But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:22 @ For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:25 @ For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:26 @ The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:27 @ For "He has put all things under His feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:31 @ I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:32 @ If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me? If the dead do not rise, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:38 @ But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:45 @ And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:47 @ The first man was of the earth, 1made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:48 @ As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:49 @ And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:52 @ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:54 @ So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory."

nkjv@1Corinthians:15:58 @ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:1 @ Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given orders to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:2 @ On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside, storing up as he may prosper, that there be no collections when I come.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:5 @ Now I will come to you when I pass through Macedonia (for I am passing through Macedonia).

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:9 @ For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:10 @ And if Timothy comes, see that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:12 @ Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brethren, but he was quite unwilling to come at this time; however, he will come when he has a convenient time.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:13 @ Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:15 @ I urge you, brethren--you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints--

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:17 @ I am glad about the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they supplied.

nkjv@1Corinthians:16:19 @ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:5 @ For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:7 @ And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:8 @ For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:12 @ For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:14 @ (as also you have understood us in part), that we are your boast as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:16 @ to pass by way of you to Macedonia, to come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:17 @ Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No?

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:18 @ But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:19 @ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us--by me, Silvanus, and Timothy--was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:21 @ Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:22 @ who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

nkjv@2Corinthians:1:23 @ Moreover I call God as witness against my soul, that to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:5 @ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe.

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:6 @ This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:12 @ Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,

nkjv@2Corinthians:2:17 @ For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:1 @ Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:5 @ Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:6 @ who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:7 @ But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:10 @ For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:11 @ For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:13 @ unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.

nkjv@2Corinthians:3:18 @ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:1 @ Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:4 @ whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:6 @ For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:4:7 @ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:5 @ Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:8 @ We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:9 @ Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:10 @ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:12 @ For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:17 @ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:18 @ Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:19 @ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:5:20 @ Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:1 @ We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:4 @ But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:5 @ in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:8 @ by honor and dishonor, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:9 @ as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed;

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:10 @ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:13 @ Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:14 @ Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:15 @ And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

nkjv@2Corinthians:6:16 @ And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people."

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:4 @ Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:6 @ Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:7 @ and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:13 @ Therefore we have been comforted in your comfort. And we rejoiced exceedingly more for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:14 @ For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I am not ashamed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, even so our boasting to Titus was found true.

nkjv@2Corinthians:7:15 @ And his affections are greater for you as he remembers the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:5 @ And not only as we had hoped, but they first gave themselves to the Lord, and then to us by the will of God.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:6 @ So we urged Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also complete this grace in you as well.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:7 @ But as you abound in everything--in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all diligence, and in your love for us--see that you abound in this grace also.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:9 @ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:11 @ but now you also must complete the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to desire it, so there also may be a completion out of what you have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:12 @ For if there is first a willing mind, it is accepted according to what one has, and not according to what he does not have.

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:13 @ For I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened;

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:15 @ As it is written, "He who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack."

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:19 @ and not only that, but who was also chosen by the churches to travel with us with this gift, which is administered by us to the glory of the Lord Himself and to show your ready mind,

nkjv@2Corinthians:8:24 @ Therefore show to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love and of our boasting on your behalf.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:2 @ for I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:3 @ Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, as I said, you may be ready;

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:4 @ lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (not to mention you!) should be ashamed of this confident boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:5 @ Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:7 @ So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:9 @ As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever."

nkjv@2Corinthians:9:10 @ Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:2 @ But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:5 @ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:7 @ Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:8 @ For even if I should boast somewhat more about our authority, which the Lord gave us for edification and not for your destruction, I shall not be ashamed--

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:12 @ For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:13 @ We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us--a sphere which especially includes you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:14 @ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:15 @ not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men's labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,

nkjv@2Corinthians:10:16 @ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's sphere of accomplishment.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:2 @ For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:3 @ But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:9 @ And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:10 @ As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:12 @ But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:16 @ I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:17 @ What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:18 @ Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:23 @ Are they ministers of Christ?--I speak as a fool--I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:25 @ Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:27 @ in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness--

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:30 @ If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity.

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:32 @ In Damascus the governor, under Aretas the king, was guarding the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desiring to arrest me;

nkjv@2Corinthians:11:33 @ but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall, and escaped from his hands.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:1 @ It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:2 @ I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:4 @ how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:5 @ Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:6 @ For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:7 @ And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:9 @ And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:10 @ Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:11 @ I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:13 @ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:16 @ But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

nkjv@2Corinthians:12:20 @ For I fear lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I wish, and that I shall be found by you such as you do not wish; lest there be contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, backbitings, whisperings, conceits, tumults;

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:2 @ I have told you before, and foretell as if I were present the second time, and now being absent I write to those who have sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again I will not spare--

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:4 @ For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:5 @ Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

nkjv@2Corinthians:13:10 @ Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the authority which the Lord has given me for edification and not for destruction.

nkjv@Galatians:1:9 @ As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

nkjv@Galatians:1:10 @ For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:11 @ But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nkjv@Galatians:1:12 @ For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:1:13 @ For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it.

nkjv@Galatians:1:15 @ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

nkjv@Galatians:1:17 @ nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

nkjv@Galatians:1:22 @ And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:2:1 @ Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and also took Titus with me.

nkjv@Galatians:2:3 @ Yet not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:7 @ But on the contrary, when they saw that the gospel for the uncircumcised had been committed to me, as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter

nkjv@Galatians:2:9 @ and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nkjv@Galatians:2:10 @ They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.

nkjv@Galatians:2:11 @ Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed;

nkjv@Galatians:2:13 @ And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

nkjv@Galatians:2:14 @ But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews?

nkjv@Galatians:2:21 @ I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain."

nkjv@Galatians:3:1 @ O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

nkjv@Galatians:3:4 @ Have you suffered so many things in vain--if indeed it was in vain?

nkjv@Galatians:3:6 @ just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

nkjv@Galatians:3:10 @ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

nkjv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" ),

nkjv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:3:17 @ And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.

nkjv@Galatians:3:19 @ What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

nkjv@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

nkjv@Galatians:3:24 @ Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

nkjv@Galatians:3:25 @ But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

nkjv@Galatians:3:27 @ For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:4:1 @ Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,

nkjv@Galatians:4:5 @ to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

nkjv@Galatians:4:6 @ And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

nkjv@Galatians:4:10 @ You observe days and months and seasons and years.

nkjv@Galatians:4:14 @ And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Galatians:4:15 @ What then was the blessing you enjoyed? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me.

nkjv@Galatians:4:23 @ But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise,

nkjv@Galatians:4:27 @ For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband."

nkjv@Galatians:4:28 @ Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise.

nkjv@Galatians:4:29 @ But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now.

nkjv@Galatians:4:30 @ Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman."

nkjv@Galatians:5:1 @ Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

nkjv@Galatians:5:8 @ This persuasion does not come from Him who calls you.

nkjv@Galatians:5:11 @ And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.

nkjv@Galatians:5:13 @ For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

nkjv@Galatians:5:14 @ For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

nkjv@Galatians:5:21 @ envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

nkjv@Galatians:5:24 @ And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

nkjv@Galatians:6:1 @ Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

nkjv@Galatians:6:8 @ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

nkjv@Galatians:6:9 @ And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

nkjv@Galatians:6:10 @ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

nkjv@Galatians:6:12 @ As many as desire to make a good showing in the flesh, these would compel you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

nkjv@Galatians:6:13 @ For not even those who are circumcised keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

nkjv@Galatians:6:14 @ But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nkjv@Galatians:6:16 @ And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:3 @ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:4 @ just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:5 @ having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:9 @ having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

nkjv@Ephesians:1:14 @ who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

nkjv@Ephesians:1:16 @ do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

nkjv@Ephesians:2:1 @ And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:3 @ among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:5 @ even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

nkjv@Ephesians:2:9 @ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

nkjv@Ephesians:2:14 @ For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation,

nkjv@Ephesians:2:15 @ having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:1 @ For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles--

nkjv@Ephesians:3:2 @ if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:3 @ how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:5 @ which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

nkjv@Ephesians:3:8 @ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:9 @ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:3:13 @ Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:14 @ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nkjv@Ephesians:3:19 @ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

nkjv@Ephesians:3:20 @ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:4 @ There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:7 @ But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:8 @ Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men."

nkjv@Ephesians:4:9 @ (Now this, "He ascended"--what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nkjv@Ephesians:4:10 @ He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

nkjv@Ephesians:4:11 @ And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:13 @ till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:4:17 @ This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

nkjv@Ephesians:4:19 @ who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:21 @ if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

nkjv@Ephesians:4:24 @ and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:28 @ Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

nkjv@Ephesians:4:32 @ And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:1 @ Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:2 @ And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:3 @ But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

nkjv@Ephesians:5:5 @ For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:8 @ For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

nkjv@Ephesians:5:15 @ See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:22 @ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:23 @ For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:24 @ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:25 @ Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:26 @ that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

nkjv@Ephesians:5:28 @ So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:29 @ For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.

nkjv@Ephesians:5:31 @ "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."

nkjv@Ephesians:5:33 @ Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:5 @ Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ;

nkjv@Ephesians:6:6 @ not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

nkjv@Ephesians:6:7 @ with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

nkjv@Ephesians:6:9 @ And you, masters, do the same things to them, giving up threatening, knowing that your own Master also is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nkjv@Ephesians:6:20 @ for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

nkjv@Philippians:1:6 @ being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:7 @ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

nkjv@Philippians:1:13 @ so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

nkjv@Philippians:1:20 @ according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

nkjv@Philippians:1:27 @ Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

nkjv@Philippians:1:29 @ For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

nkjv@Philippians:2:5 @ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

nkjv@Philippians:2:8 @ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

nkjv@Philippians:2:9 @ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

nkjv@Philippians:2:12 @ Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

nkjv@Philippians:2:13 @ for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

nkjv@Philippians:2:15 @ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

nkjv@Philippians:2:16 @ holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

nkjv@Philippians:2:17 @ Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

nkjv@Philippians:2:18 @ For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:22 @ But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

nkjv@Philippians:2:23 @ Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

nkjv@Philippians:2:26 @ since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

nkjv@Philippians:2:27 @ For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

nkjv@Philippians:2:30 @ because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

nkjv@Philippians:3:8 @ Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ

nkjv@Philippians:3:12 @ Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

nkjv@Philippians:3:15 @ Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.

nkjv@Philippians:3:17 @ Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

nkjv@Philippians:4:1 @ Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved.

nkjv@Philippians:4:7 @ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

nkjv@Philippians:4:10 @ But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your1 care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity.

nkjv@Philippians:4:12 @ I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

nkjv@Philippians:4:18 @ Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:5 @ For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:1:8 @ For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:1 @ For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:2 @ But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:3 @ For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:4 @ But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:5 @ For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness--God is witness.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:6 @ Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:7 @ But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:8 @ So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:11 @ as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and charged every one of you, as a father does his own children,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:13 @ For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:14 @ For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:2:15 @ who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more;

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ For when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ pray without ceasing,

nkjv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Test all things; hold fast what is good.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:3 @ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:4 @ so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:10 @ when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:1:11 @ Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:1 @ Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:2 @ not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:4 @ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:5 @ Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:11 @ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:12 @ that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:15 @ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:2:16 @ Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:1 @ Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:2 @ and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

nkjv@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:3 @ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:11 @ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:12 @ And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

nkjv@1Timothy:1:13 @ although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:14 @ And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:16 @ However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

nkjv@1Timothy:1:20 @ of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:7 @ for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle--I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying--a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

nkjv@1Timothy:2:13 @ For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:6 @ not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:10 @ But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:13 @ For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@1Timothy:3:16 @ And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.

nkjv@1Timothy:4:14 @ Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:1 @ Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:2 @ older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all purity.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:4 @ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:6 @ But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:8 @ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:9 @ Do not let a widow under sixty years old be taken into the number, and not unless she has been the wife of one man,

nkjv@1Timothy:5:10 @ well reported for good works: if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:12 @ having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:15 @ For some have already turned aside after Satan.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:16 @ If any believing man or woman has widows, let them relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

nkjv@1Timothy:5:22 @ Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in other people's sins; keep yourself pure.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:1 @ Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:2 @ And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

nkjv@1Timothy:6:20 @ O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge--

nkjv@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:7 @ For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:8 @ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:9 @ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

nkjv@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:14 @ That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:15 @ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

nkjv@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

nkjv@2Timothy:2:3 @ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:4 @ No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

nkjv@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:15 @ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:16 @ But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

nkjv@2Timothy:2:21 @ Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:1 @ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

nkjv@2Timothy:3:2 @ For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:4 @ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

nkjv@2Timothy:3:8 @ Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;

nkjv@2Timothy:3:9 @ but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

nkjv@2Timothy:3:14 @ But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nkjv@2Timothy:4:2 @ Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:4 @ and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:6 @ For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:10 @ for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica--Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:13 @ Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come--and the books, especially the parchments.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:15 @ You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:17 @ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:20 @ Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

nkjv@2Timothy:4:21 @ Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.

nkjv@Titus:1:5 @ For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you--

nkjv@Titus:1:7 @ For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money,

nkjv@Titus:1:9 @ holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

nkjv@Titus:1:12 @ One of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."

nkjv@Titus:2:1 @ But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine:

nkjv@Titus:2:5 @ to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

nkjv@Titus:2:8 @ sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.

nkjv@Titus:2:9 @ Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back,

nkjv@Titus:2:11 @ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

nkjv@Titus:3:3 @ For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

nkjv@Titus:3:5 @ not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Titus:3:12 @ When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nkjv@Titus:3:13 @ Send Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey with haste, that they may lack nothing.

nkjv@Philemon:1:9 @ yet for love's sake I rather appeal to you--being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ--

nkjv@Philemon:1:11 @ who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me.

nkjv@Philemon:1:14 @ But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

nkjv@Philemon:1:16 @ no longer as a slave but more than a slave--a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

nkjv@Philemon:1:17 @ If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me.

nkjv@Philemon:1:18 @ But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account.

nkjv@Philemon:1:23 @ Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,

nkjv@Philemon:1:24 @ as do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, Luke, my fellow laborers.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:1 @ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

nkjv@Hebrews:1:2 @ has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

nkjv@Hebrews:1:4 @ having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

nkjv@Hebrews:1:9 @ You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions."

nkjv@Hebrews:1:13 @ But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?

nkjv@Hebrews:2:2 @ For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:3 @ how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:5 @ For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:9 @ But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:10 @ For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:11 @ For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:12 @ saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:13 @ And again: "I will put My trust in Him." And again: "Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."

nkjv@Hebrews:2:14 @ Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nkjv@Hebrews:2:15 @ and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

nkjv@Hebrews:2:18 @ For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:2 @ who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:3 @ For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:5 @ And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:6 @ but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

nkjv@Hebrews:3:7 @ Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:8 @ Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:10 @ Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, "They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.'

nkjv@Hebrews:3:14 @ For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:3:15 @ while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion."

nkjv@Hebrews:3:16 @ For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses?

nkjv@Hebrews:3:17 @ Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

nkjv@Hebrews:4:2 @ For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:3 @ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, "They shall not enter My rest,"' although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:4 @ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works";

nkjv@Hebrews:4:6 @ Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience,

nkjv@Hebrews:4:7 @ again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts."

nkjv@Hebrews:4:10 @ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:14 @ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

nkjv@Hebrews:4:15 @ For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:2 @ He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:3 @ Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:4 @ And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:5 @ So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."

nkjv@Hebrews:5:6 @ As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek";

nkjv@Hebrews:5:7 @ who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

nkjv@Hebrews:5:8 @ though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

nkjv@Hebrews:5:10 @ called by God as High Priest "according to the order of Melchizedek,"

nkjv@Hebrews:5:14 @ But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

nkjv@Hebrews:6:4 @ For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:5 @ and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:11 @ And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:19 @ This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil,

nkjv@Hebrews:6:20 @ where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:10 @ for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:11 @ Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

nkjv@Hebrews:7:13 @ For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has officiated at the altar.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:16 @ who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath

nkjv@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn And will not relent, "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek"'),

nkjv@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:24 @ But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;

nkjv@Hebrews:7:27 @ who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:5 @ who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain."

nkjv@Hebrews:8:6 @ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:11 @ None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, "Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.

nkjv@Hebrews:8:13 @ In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:2 @ For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:8 @ the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:9 @ It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience--

nkjv@Hebrews:9:10 @ concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:11 @ But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:13 @ For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:15 @ And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:17 @ For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:18 @ Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:20 @ saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you."

nkjv@Hebrews:9:23 @ Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:24 @ For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nkjv@Hebrews:9:25 @ not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another--

nkjv@Hebrews:9:26 @ He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

nkjv@Hebrews:9:27 @ And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,

nkjv@Hebrews:9:28 @ so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:2 @ For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:6 @ In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:8 @ Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law),

nkjv@Hebrews:10:14 @ For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:28 @ Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:29 @ Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

nkjv@Hebrews:10:34 @ for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:35 @ Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:10:38 @ Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him."

nkjv@Hebrews:11:4 @ By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:5 @ By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:6 @ But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:8 @ By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:9 @ By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;

nkjv@Hebrews:11:10 @ for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:11 @ By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:12 @ Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude--innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:13 @ These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:16 @ But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:17 @ By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

nkjv@Hebrews:11:18 @ of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called,"

nkjv@Hebrews:11:19 @ concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:21 @ By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:22 @ By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:23 @ By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:26 @ esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:27 @ By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:28 @ By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:29 @ By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

nkjv@Hebrews:11:38 @ of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:1 @ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:2 @ looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:6 @ For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."

nkjv@Hebrews:12:7 @ If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

nkjv@Hebrews:12:8 @ But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:10 @ For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:11 @ Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:17 @ For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.

nkjv@Hebrews:12:20 @ (For they could not endure what was commanded: "And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow."

nkjv@Hebrews:12:21 @ And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I am exceedingly afraid and trembling." )

nkjv@Hebrews:12:23 @ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

nkjv@Hebrews:12:26 @ whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."

nkjv@Hebrews:12:27 @ Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:3 @ Remember the prisoners as if chained with them--those who are mistreated--since you yourselves are in the body also.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:5 @ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

nkjv@Hebrews:13:16 @ But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:17 @ Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

nkjv@Hebrews:13:20 @ Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

nkjv@James:1:12 @ Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nkjv@James:1:15 @ Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

nkjv@James:1:21 @ Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

nkjv@James:2:5 @ Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nkjv@James:2:7 @ Do they not blaspheme that noble name by which you are called?

nkjv@James:2:8 @ If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well;

nkjv@James:2:9 @ but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nkjv@James:2:12 @ So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty.

nkjv@James:2:13 @ For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

nkjv@James:2:14 @ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

nkjv@James:2:21 @ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

nkjv@James:2:22 @ Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

nkjv@James:2:23 @ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.

nkjv@James:2:25 @ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

nkjv@James:2:26 @ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

nkjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!

nkjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.

nkjv@James:3:14 @ But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

nkjv@James:4:1 @ Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

nkjv@James:4:2 @ You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

nkjv@James:4:3 @ You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nkjv@James:4:14 @ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

nkjv@James:4:16 @ But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

nkjv@James:5:3 @ Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days.

nkjv@James:5:5 @ You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.

nkjv@James:5:10 @ My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience.

nkjv@James:5:11 @ Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

nkjv@James:5:15 @ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

nkjv@James:5:16 @ Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

nkjv@James:5:17 @ Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

nkjv@1Peter:1:11 @ searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow.

nkjv@1Peter:1:12 @ To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.

nkjv@1Peter:1:14 @ as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance;

nkjv@1Peter:1:15 @ but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

nkjv@1Peter:1:19 @ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

nkjv@1Peter:1:20 @ He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

nkjv@1Peter:1:24 @ because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away,

nkjv@1Peter:1:25 @ But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

nkjv@1Peter:2:1 @ Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

nkjv@1Peter:2:2 @ as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

nkjv@1Peter:2:3 @ if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

nkjv@1Peter:2:4 @ Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,

nkjv@1Peter:2:5 @ you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

nkjv@1Peter:2:7 @ Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

nkjv@1Peter:2:11 @ Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,

nkjv@1Peter:2:12 @ having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.

nkjv@1Peter:2:13 @ Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,

nkjv@1Peter:2:14 @ or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.

nkjv@1Peter:2:16 @ as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.

nkjv@1Peter:2:18 @ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.

nkjv@1Peter:2:22 @ "Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth";

nkjv@1Peter:2:23 @ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

nkjv@1Peter:3:2 @ when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.

nkjv@1Peter:3:6 @ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

nkjv@1Peter:3:7 @ Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

nkjv@1Peter:3:8 @ Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

nkjv@1Peter:3:15 @ But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;

nkjv@1Peter:3:16 @ having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

nkjv@1Peter:3:20 @ who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

nkjv@1Peter:3:22 @ who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

nkjv@1Peter:4:1 @ Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nkjv@1Peter:4:3 @ For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles--when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

nkjv@1Peter:4:6 @ For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

nkjv@1Peter:4:10 @ As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

nkjv@1Peter:4:11 @ If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@1Peter:4:12 @ Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;

nkjv@1Peter:4:14 @ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

nkjv@1Peter:4:15 @ But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people's matters.

nkjv@1Peter:4:16 @ Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.

nkjv@1Peter:4:17 @ For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nkjv@1Peter:4:19 @ Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.

nkjv@1Peter:5:2 @ Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;

nkjv@1Peter:5:3 @ nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

nkjv@1Peter:5:7 @ casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

nkjv@1Peter:5:9 @ Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

nkjv@1Peter:5:12 @ By Silvanus, our faithful brother as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand.

nkjv@2Peter:1:3 @ as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

nkjv@2Peter:1:5 @ But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

nkjv@2Peter:1:9 @ For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

nkjv@2Peter:1:11 @ for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

nkjv@2Peter:1:12 @ For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

nkjv@2Peter:1:13 @ Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

nkjv@2Peter:1:14 @ knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

nkjv@2Peter:1:15 @ Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

nkjv@2Peter:1:17 @ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

nkjv@2Peter:1:19 @ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;

nkjv@2Peter:1:21 @ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

nkjv@2Peter:2:1 @ But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

nkjv@2Peter:2:2 @ And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

nkjv@2Peter:2:3 @ By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

nkjv@2Peter:2:4 @ For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

nkjv@2Peter:2:6 @ and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

nkjv@2Peter:2:7 @ and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

nkjv@2Peter:2:11 @ whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

nkjv@2Peter:2:12 @ But these, like natural brute beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption,

nkjv@2Peter:2:13 @ and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you,

nkjv@2Peter:2:14 @ having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls. They have a heart trained in covetous practices, and are accursed children.

nkjv@2Peter:2:15 @ They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

nkjv@2Peter:2:16 @ but he was rebuked for his iniquity: a dumb donkey speaking with a man's voice restrained the madness of the prophet.

nkjv@2Peter:2:22 @ But it has happened to them according to the true proverb: "A dog returns to his own vomit," and, "a sow, having washed, to her wallowing in the mire."

nkjv@2Peter:3:3 @ knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

nkjv@2Peter:3:4 @ and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."

nkjv@2Peter:3:8 @ But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

nkjv@2Peter:3:9 @ The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

nkjv@2Peter:3:10 @ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

nkjv@2Peter:3:12 @ looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

nkjv@2Peter:3:15 @ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation--as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you,

nkjv@2Peter:3:16 @ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

nkjv@2Peter:3:17 @ You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked;

nkjv@1John:1:1 @ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life--

nkjv@1John:1:2 @ the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us--

nkjv@1John:1:7 @ But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

nkjv@1John:2:6 @ He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

nkjv@1John:2:8 @ Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.

nkjv@1John:2:11 @ But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

nkjv@1John:2:17 @ And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

nkjv@1John:2:18 @ Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

nkjv@1John:2:23 @ Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

nkjv@1John:2:25 @ And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

nkjv@1John:2:27 @ But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

nkjv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.

nkjv@1John:3:1 @ Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

nkjv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

nkjv@1John:3:3 @ And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

nkjv@1John:3:5 @ And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

nkjv@1John:3:6 @ Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

nkjv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:8 @ He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

nkjv@1John:3:9 @ Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

nkjv@1John:3:12 @ not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

nkjv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

nkjv@1John:3:15 @ Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

nkjv@1John:3:17 @ But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

nkjv@1John:3:19 @ And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

nkjv@1John:3:22 @ And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

nkjv@1John:3:23 @ And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

nkjv@1John:3:24 @ Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nkjv@1John:4:2 @ By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

nkjv@1John:4:3 @ and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

nkjv@1John:4:5 @ They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.

nkjv@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

nkjv@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

nkjv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

nkjv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

nkjv@1John:4:16 @ And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

nkjv@1John:4:17 @ Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

nkjv@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

nkjv@1John:4:20 @ If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

nkjv@1John:5:4 @ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nkjv@1John:5:8 @ And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

nkjv@1John:5:9 @ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:10 @ He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:11 @ And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

nkjv@1John:5:12 @ He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

nkjv@1John:5:14 @ Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

nkjv@1John:5:15 @ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

nkjv@1John:5:16 @ If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

nkjv@1John:5:18 @ We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

nkjv@1John:5:20 @ And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nkjv@2John:1:4 @ I rejoiced greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, as we received commandment from the Father.

nkjv@2John:1:5 @ And now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment to you, but that which we have had from the beginning: that we love one another.

nkjv@2John:1:6 @ This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.

nkjv@2John:1:7 @ For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

nkjv@2John:1:9 @ Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

nkjv@3John:1:2 @ Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

nkjv@3John:1:3 @ For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

nkjv@3John:1:11 @ Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.

nkjv@3John:1:12 @ Demetrius has a good testimony from all, and from the truth itself. And we also bear witness, and you know that our testimony is true.

nkjv@Jude:1:3 @ Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

nkjv@Jude:1:6 @ And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

nkjv@Jude:1:7 @ as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

nkjv@Jude:1:10 @ But these speak evil of whatever they do not know; and whatever they know naturally, like brute beasts, in these things they corrupt themselves.

nkjv@Jude:1:12 @ These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

nkjv@Jude:1:18 @ how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.

nkjv@Jude:1:22 @ And on some have compassion, making a distinction;

nkjv@Revelation:1:4 @ John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

nkjv@Revelation:1:5 @ and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

nkjv@Revelation:1:6 @ and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nkjv@Revelation:1:8 @ "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

nkjv@Revelation:1:9 @ I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Revelation:1:10 @ I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

nkjv@Revelation:1:11 @ saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

nkjv@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

nkjv@Revelation:1:15 @ His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

nkjv@Revelation:1:16 @ He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

nkjv@Revelation:1:17 @ And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

nkjv@Revelation:6:4 @ Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

nkjv@Revelation:6:8 @ So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

nkjv@Revelation:6:11 @ Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

nkjv@Revelation:6:17 @ For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

nkjv@Revelation:7:2 @ Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea,

nkjv@Revelation:7:6 @ of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand were sealed;

nkjv@Revelation:8:4 @ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

nkjv@Revelation:8:7 @ The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

nkjv@Revelation:8:8 @ Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

nkjv@Revelation:8:11 @ The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.

nkjv@Revelation:8:12 @ Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.

nkjv@Revelation:8:13 @ And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!"

nkjv@Revelation:9:1 @ Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.

nkjv@Revelation:9:3 @ Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

nkjv@Revelation:9:4 @ They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

nkjv@Revelation:9:5 @ And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

nkjv@Revelation:9:7 @ The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

nkjv@Revelation:9:9 @ And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.

nkjv@Revelation:9:10 @ They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

nkjv@Revelation:9:11 @ And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

nkjv@Revelation:9:12 @ One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

nkjv@Revelation:9:14 @ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

nkjv@Revelation:9:15 @ So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a third of mankind.

nkjv@Revelation:9:16 @ Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.

nkjv@Revelation:9:17 @ And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.

nkjv@Revelation:9:18 @ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed--by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.

nkjv@Revelation:9:20 @ But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

nkjv@Revelation:10:1 @ I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

nkjv@Revelation:10:3 @ and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

nkjv@Revelation:10:4 @ Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them."

nkjv@Revelation:10:7 @ but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

nkjv@Revelation:10:9 @ So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the little book." And he said to me, "Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth."

nkjv@Revelation:10:10 @ Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

nkjv@Revelation:11:1 @ Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.

nkjv@Revelation:11:2 @ But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months.

nkjv@Revelation:11:6 @ These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

nkjv@Revelation:11:7 @ When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them.

nkjv@Revelation:11:8 @ And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

nkjv@Revelation:11:12 @ And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.

nkjv@Revelation:11:13 @ In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the God of heaven.

nkjv@Revelation:11:14 @ The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.

nkjv@Revelation:11:17 @ saying: "We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned.

nkjv@Revelation:11:18 @ The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth."

nkjv@Revelation:11:19 @ Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

nkjv@Revelation:12:4 @ His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

nkjv@Revelation:12:5 @ She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne.

nkjv@Revelation:12:6 @ Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

nkjv@Revelation:12:8 @ but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.

nkjv@Revelation:12:9 @ So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

nkjv@Revelation:12:10 @ Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

nkjv@Revelation:12:12 @ Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

nkjv@Revelation:12:13 @ Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.

nkjv@Revelation:12:14 @ But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

nkjv@Revelation:12:17 @ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

nkjv@Revelation:13:1 @ Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.

nkjv@Revelation:13:2 @ Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

nkjv@Revelation:13:3 @ And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.

nkjv@Revelation:13:4 @ So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, "Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?"

nkjv@Revelation:13:5 @ And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.

nkjv@Revelation:13:6 @ Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.

nkjv@Revelation:13:7 @ It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

nkjv@Revelation:13:9 @ If anyone has an ear, let him hear.

nkjv@Revelation:13:11 @ Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.

nkjv@Revelation:13:12 @ And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

nkjv@Revelation:13:14 @ And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived.

nkjv@Revelation:13:15 @ He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.

nkjv@Revelation:13:17 @ and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

nkjv@Revelation:13:18 @ Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

nkjv@Revelation:14:3 @ They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.

nkjv@Revelation:14:5 @ And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

nkjv@Revelation:14:7 @ saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

nkjv@Revelation:15:2 @ And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

nkjv@Revelation:16:12 @ Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.

nkjv@Revelation:16:13 @ And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

nkjv@Revelation:16:19 @ Now the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.

nkjv@Revelation:20:8 @ and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

nkjv@Revelation:21:11 @ having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
