gltv@Joshua:1:2 @ My servant Moses is dead. And now rise up, cross over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.

gltv@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread, I have given it to you, as I spoke to Moses.

gltv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun, shall be your border.

gltv@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 fail you nor will I forsake you.

gltv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and brave. For you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

gltv@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be strong and very brave, so that you may take heed to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may act wisely wherever you go.

gltv@Joshua:1:8 @ This hook of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you shall meditate on it by day and by night, so that you shall be on guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall prosper your way, and then you shall act wisely.

gltv@Joshua:1:9 @ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and brave. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for Jehovah your God is with you in all places where you go.

gltv@Joshua:1:10 @ Then commanded the officers of the people, saying,

gltv@Joshua:1:14 @ your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses has given to you beyond the Jordan. But you shall cross over armed before your brothers, all the mighty warriors, and shall help them,

gltv@Joshua:1:15 @ until Jehovah has given rest to your brothers, as well as to you, and they, even they have possessed the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them Then you may return to the land of your possession, and may possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.

gltv@Joshua:1:16 @ And they answered Joshua, saying, We will do all that you command us; and we will go everywhere you shall send us.

gltv@Joshua:1:17 @ According to all we heard from Moses, so we will listen to you. Surely Jehovah your God is with you, as He has been with Moses.

gltv@Joshua:2:1 @ And the son of Nun sent two men out of Shittim to spy secretly, saying, Go look over the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a woman, a harlot; and her name was Rahab. And they lay down there.

gltv@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was reported to the King of Jericho saying, Behold, men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel, to search the land.

gltv@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring out the men who have come in to you, who have come into your house. For they have come in to search out all the land.

gltv@Joshua:2:5 @ And it happened as the gate was to be shut at dark, even the men went out. I do not know where they have gone. You go after them, and hurry, for you may overtake them.

gltv@Joshua:2:6 @ But she made them go up on the roof, and hid them with stalks of flax, which she arranged on the roof.

gltv@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men went after them the way of the Jordan, by the fords. And they shut the gate afterwards, when the pursuers had gone after them.

gltv@Joshua:2:8 @ And before they had laid down, she came up to them on the roof.

gltv@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given the land to you, and that your terror has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted before you.

gltv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Sea of Reeds before you, as you were going out of Egypt; also that which you have done to two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan; to Sihon, and to Og, whom you destroyed.

gltv@Joshua:2:11 @ And we have heard, and our heart has melted, and there not still rises spirit in any man, because of you. For Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above, and in the earth below.

gltv@Joshua:2:13 @ and shall keep alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they own and shall deliver our souls from death.

gltv@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said to them, Go to the mountain lest the pursuers come upon you. And you shall hide there three days until the pursuers return; and afterward you shall go on your way.

gltv@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said to her, We will be guiltless from this oath of yours which you made us swear.

gltv@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, we are coming into the land; you shall bind this scarlet thread of line in the window by which you have let us down. And you shall gather your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father's house to you, to the house.

gltv@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, anyone who goes outside from the doors of your house his blood shall be on his head, and we shall be innocent. And anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.

gltv@Joshua:2:20 @ But if you reveal this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless from your oath which you make us swear.

gltv@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, Let it be according to your words. And she sent them away. And they went. And she bound the line of scarlet thread in the window.

gltv@Joshua:3:3 @ And they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests, and the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place and shall go after it.

gltv@Joshua:3:4 @ Only, keep a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. You shall not come near it, so that you may know the way in which you are to go. For you have not crossed over this way yesterday and the day before.

gltv@Joshua:3:5 @ And said to the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you.

gltv@Joshua:3:6 @ And spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant and go before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

gltv@Joshua:3:10 @ And said, By this you shall know that the living God is among you. And He shall certainly expel from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

gltv@Joshua:3:12 @ And now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel one man for each tribe.

gltv@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of Jehovah, Lord of all the earth, come to rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters which come down from above. And they shall stand in one heap.

gltv@Joshua:3:14 @ And it happened, as the people moved from their tents to cross over the Jordan, and as the priests bore the ark of the covenant before the people,

gltv@Joshua:3:15 @ and as those bearing the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the edge of the waters (and the Jordan was full, over all its banks all the days of harvest),

gltv@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters stood still, those coming down from above rose up into a heap, very far above the city Adam, which is beside Zaretan; and those going down by the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite to Jericho.

gltv@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan. And all Israel crossed over on dry ground until all the nation had completely passed over the Jordan.

gltv@Joshua:4:2 @ Take twelve men for you out of the people, one man of each tribe.

gltv@Joshua:4:5 @ And said to them, Cross over before the ark of Jehovah your God to the middle of the Jordan, and each man of you lift up one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,

gltv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this shall be a sign among you, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What are these stones to you?

gltv@Joshua:4:7 @ You shall say to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as it crossed over into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones are for a memorial to the sons of Israel all the days.

gltv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the sons of Israel did as commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and crossed over with them to the lodging place, and laid them down there;

gltv@Joshua:4:9 @ even the twelve stones that lifted up in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant stood firm. And they are there until this day.

gltv@Joshua:4:10 @ And the priests bearing the ark were standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was finished everything that Jehovah had commanded to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastened and crossed over.

gltv@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand armed men of the army crossed over before Jehovah for battle, to the plains of Jericho.

gltv@Joshua:4:14 @ In that day Jehovah made great in the sight of all Israel. And they feared him all the days of his life, even as they feared Moses.

gltv@Joshua:4:16 @ Order the priests who carry the ark of the testimony, that they rise out of the Jordan.

gltv@Joshua:4:17 @ And commanded the priests, saying, Rise out of the Jordan.

gltv@Joshua:4:18 @ And it happened when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests had been lifted to the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and flowed over all its banks, as before.

gltv@Joshua:4:19 @ And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and camped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

gltv@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke to the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What do these stones mean?

gltv@Joshua:4:22 @ Then you shall make your sons know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land,

gltv@Joshua:4:23 @ because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you, until you crossed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Sea of Reeds, which He dried up before you until we crossed over;

gltv@Joshua:4:24 @ so that all the people of the land shall know that the hand of Jehovah is strong, so that you may fear Jehovah your God all the days.

gltv@Joshua:5:3 @ And made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

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

gltv@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who had come out were circumcised. And all the people who were born in the wilderness, in the way, as they came out from Egypt, had not been circumcised.

gltv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the sons of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt were consumed, those who did not listen to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah had sworn to them not to show them the land which Jehovah swore to their fathers, to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey; these were consumed.

gltv@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the next day after they ate of the old grain of the land. And there was no more manna to the sons of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan in that year.

gltv@Judges:2:16 @ And Jehovah raised up judges, and they saved them from the hand of their plunderers.

gltv@Judges:2:17 @ But they also did not listen to their judges, but went whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves to them. They quickly turned aside out of the way in which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah. They did not do so.

gltv@Judges:2:18 @ And when Jehovah raised up judges to them, then Jehovah was with the judge, and rescued them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For Jehovah took pity because of their groaning before their oppressors, and those that crushed them.

gltv@Judges:2:19 @ And at the death of the judge, it happened that they would turn and act more corruptly than their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them. And they did not fall away from their own doings, and from their stubborn way.

gltv@Judges:3:4 @ And they existed to test Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commands of Jehovah, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

gltv@Judges:3:5 @ And the sons of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

gltv@Judges:3:6 @ And they took their daughters to themselves for wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.

gltv@Judges:3:7 @ And the sons of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and the Asherahs.

gltv@Judges:3:8 @ And the anger of Jehovah glowed against Israel. And He gave them over into the hand of Chushanrishathaim, and the sons of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

gltv@Judges:3:9 @ And when the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer to the sons of Israel, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, who saved them.

gltv@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah was put on him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to war, and Jehovah gave Chushan-rishathaim the king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And his hand had power against Chushanrishathaim.

gltv@Judges:3:12 @ And the sons of Israel did evil again in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah made Eglon the king of Moab strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of Jehovah.

gltv@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered to him the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and went and struck Israel. And they possessed the city of palm trees.

gltv@Judges:3:14 @ And the sons of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

gltv@Judges:3:15 @ And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, even Jehovah raised up a deliverer to them, Ehud the son of Gera, a son of the Benjamite, a man with his right hand impeded. And the sons of Israel sent a present by his hand to Eglon the king of Moab.

gltv@Judges:3:16 @ And Ehud made a sword for himself, and it had two edges, a cubit in length. And he girded it under his long robe, on his right thigh.

gltv@Judges:3:17 @ And he brought the present to Eglon the king of Moab; and Eglon was a very fat man.

gltv@Judges:3:18 @ And it happened, when he had finished offering the present, he sent away the people, the bearers of the present.

gltv@Judges:3:19 @ And he himself turned back from the carved images at Gilgal, and said, I have a secret word for you, O king. And he said, Be silent! And all those standing beside him went out from him.

gltv@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him. And he was sitting by himself in the cool roof room which was his. And Ehud said, I have a word from God to you. And he rose out of his seat.

gltv@Judges:3:22 @ And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade; for he did not draw the sword out of his belly. And it came out behind.

gltv@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went out to the porch, and shut the doors of the roof room on him, and locked them.

gltv@Judges:3:24 @ And when he had gone out, his servants came. And they looked, and, behold, the doors of the roof room were locked. And they said, Surely he is covering his feet in the cool roof room.

gltv@Judges:3:25 @ And they waited until they were ashamed. And, behold! He did not open the doors of the room. So they took the key and opened them. And, behold, their master had fallen down to the earth dead.

gltv@Judges:3:26 @ And Ehud escaped while they waited. And he had passed by the images, and had slipped away to Seirath.

gltv@Judges:3:27 @ And it happened, when he had come, he blew a horn in the hills of Ephraim. And the sons of Israel came down with him from the hills, and he before them.

gltv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, Follow me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites. And they did not allow a man to pass over.

gltv@Judges:3:29 @ And they struck about ten thousand men of Moab at that time, every lusty man, all mighty men. And not a man escaped.

gltv@Judges:4:5 @ And she lived under the palm tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel, in the hills of Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for judgment.

gltv@Judges:4:6 @ And she sent and called for Barak, the son of Abinoam, out of Kadesh in Naphtali, and said to him, Has not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw toward Mount Tabor, and take ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali, and of the sons of Zebulun with you.

gltv@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw to you at the Kishon River Sisera the army commander of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and shall give him into your hands.

gltv@Judges:4:8 @ And Barak said to her, If you go with me, then I will go. And if you will not go with me, I will not go.

gltv@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, I will certainly go with you; only, your glory shall surely not be on the way which you are going, for Jehovah shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah rose up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

gltv@Judges:4:15 @ And Jehovah routed Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak. And Sisera came down from the chariot and fled on his feet.

gltv@Judges:4:16 @ And Barak pursued the chariots and went after the army, to Harosheth of the nations. And all the army of Sisera fell by the mouth of the sword; there was not even one left.

gltv@Judges:4:17 @ And Sisera fled on his feet to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

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

gltv@Judges:4:19 @ And he said to her, Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a skin of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

gltv@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the sons of Israel went on, going on and pressing hard on Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin the king of Canaan.

gltv@Judges:5:1 @ And Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang on that day, saying:

gltv@Judges:5:2 @ For the loosing of locks of hair in Israel; for the willing offering of the people, bless Jehovah!

gltv@Judges:5:3 @ Listen, O kings; give ear, O princes. I, even I, will sing to Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah the God of Israel.

gltv@Judges:5:4 @ O Jehovah, when You went forth out of Seir, when You marched out of the fields of Edom the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped. Yea, the clouds dropped water.

gltv@Judges:5:5 @ The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, this Sinai quaked from before Jehovah the God of Israel.

gltv@Judges:5:6 @ In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and those going in the paths traveled in byways.

gltv@Judges:5:7 @ The leaders ceased in Israel; they ceased until I, Deborah, arose; I arose as a mother in Israel.

gltv@Judges:5:8 @ They chose new gods; then war was at the gates! Neither a shield nor a spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

gltv@Judges:5:9 @ My heart was toward the lawgivers of Israel, who freely offered themselves among the people; bless Jehovah!

gltv@Judges:5:10 @ You that ride on white asses, you that sit on rich carpets, and you travelers on the way, sing out!

gltv@Judges:5:11 @ Louder than the voice of the dividers between the watering places there, they shall tell of the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of His leaders in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.

gltv@Judges:5:13 @ Then He caused me to tread on the remnant of the noble ones of the people; Jehovah trod for me among the warriors.

gltv@Judges:5:14 @ Out of Ephraim they came, those whose root was against Amalek. After you, Benjamin, among your peoples; and out of Machir came down commanders; and out of Zebulun the ones that hold the staff of the scribe.

gltv@Judges:5:15 @ And my commanders in Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak. They were sent into the valley at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben resolves of heart were great!

gltv@Judges:5:16 @ Why did you sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of flocks? At the divisions of Reuben searchings of heart were great!

gltv@Judges:5:17 @ Gilead remained beyond the Jordan; and why did Dan stay in ships? Asher sat at the shore by the water, and remained by his havens.

gltv@Judges:5:18 @ Zebulun, a people who despised his life, even to death; also Naphtali on the high places of the field.

gltv@Judges:5:19 @ Kings came; they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of silver.

gltv@Judges:5:26 @ She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sisera; she smashed his head; she struck through and pierced his temple.

gltv@Judges:5:27 @ Between her feet he bowed; he fell; he lay down. Between her feet he bowed; he fell! Where he bowed, there he fell down ruined.

gltv@Judges:5:28 @ Through the window she looked out; yea, she cried out, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice; Why does his chariot delay to come? Why have the steps of his chariot tarried?

gltv@Judges:5:29 @ The wise ones of her princesses answered her; yea, she returned her words to herself:

gltv@Judges:5:30 @ Do they not find and divide the plunder? A womb, two wombs to each man's head; a plunder of dyed garments to Sisera, a plunder of embroidered dyed garments, two embroidered dyed garments for the necks of the plunder?

gltv@Judges:5:31 @ So all Your enemies shall perish, O Jehovah, and those who love Him shall be as the sun when it goes forth in its might. And the land had rest forty years.

gltv@Judges:6:1 @ And the sons of Israel did evil again in the sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah gave them into the hand of Midian seven years.

gltv@Judges:6:2 @ And the hand of Midian was strong against Israel. And the sons of Israel made dens for themselves before the faces of Midian, in the mountains, and the caves, and the strongholds.

gltv@Judges:6:3 @ And it happened after Israel had sown crops, Midian, and Amalek, and the sons of the east came; and they came against them,

gltv@Judges:6:4 @ and camped against them, and destroyed the produce of the land until you enter Gaza. And they left no food in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or ass.

gltv@Judges:6:5 @ For they came up with their livestock, and with their tents. They came in like locusts for number, and there was no number to them, to their camels. And they came into the land to destroy it.

gltv@Judges:6:6 @ And Israel was brought very low before Midian. And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah.

gltv@Judges:6:7 @ And it happened when the sons of Israel had cried to Jehovah about Midian,

gltv@Judges:6:8 @ Jehovah sent a man, a prophet, to the sons of Israel. And he said to them, So says Jehovah the God of Israel, I have brought you up out of Egypt; and I have brought you out from a house of slaves.

gltv@Judges:6:9 @ And I have delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors; and I have expelled them before you; and I have given you their land.

gltv@Judges:6:10 @ And I said to you, I am Jehovah your God. You shall not fear the gods of the Amorite among whom you are dwelling in their land. But you have not listened to My voice.

gltv@Judges:6:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah came and sat under the oak which is in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite. And his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress, to hide it from the eyes of Midian.

gltv@Judges:6:12 @ And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with you, mighty warrior.

gltv@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to Him, Oh my Lord, if Jehovah is with us, then why has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up out of Egypt? And now Jehovah has left us, and has given us into the hands of Midian.

gltv@Judges:6:14 @ And Jehovah turned to him and said, Go in this strength of yours, and you shall deliver Israel out of the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?

gltv@Judges:6:15 @ And he said to Him, Oh my Lord, with what shall I deliver Israel? Behold, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I the least in my father's house.

gltv@Judges:6:17 @ And he said to Him, Please, if I have found grace in Your eyes, then You shall give me a sign that You are speaking with me.

gltv@Judges:6:18 @ Please do not move from here until I come to You and bring my food offering and lay it before You. And He said, I will stay until you come back.

gltv@Judges:6:19 @ And Gideon went in and prepared a kid of the goats, and unleavened bread of an ephah of flour. He put the flesh in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot. And he brought it out to Him, under the oak, and offered it.

gltv@Judges:6:20 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened bread and place them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

gltv@Judges:6:21 @ And the Angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff in His hand and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread. And the fire rose up out of the rock and burned up the flesh and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of Jehovah went out of his sight.

gltv@Judges:6:24 @ And Gideon built an altar to Jehovah there, and called it Peace of Jehovah. It is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites until today.

gltv@Judges:6:25 @ And it happened on that night, Jehovah said to him, Take your father's bullock, and the second bullock of seven years; and you shall throw down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and you shall cut down the pillar beside it.

gltv@Judges:6:26 @ And you shall build an altar to Jehovah your God on the top of this stronghold, in an orderly way, and shall take the second bullock and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the pillar which you have cut down.

gltv@Judges:6:27 @ And Gideon took ten men from his servants and did as Jehovah had spoken to him. And it happened, since he feared his father's house and the men of the city, to do it by day, that he did it by night.

gltv@Judges:6:28 @ And the men of the city rose early in the morning. And, behold, the altar of Baal had been smashed, and the pillar beside it had been cut down. And the second bullock had been offered on the altar which was built.

gltv@Judges:6:30 @ And the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out your son, and he shall die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the pillar beside it.

gltv@Judges:6:31 @ And Joash said to all that stood against him, You, will you contend for Baal? Or you, will you save him? He who contends for him shall be killed by the morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because one has smashed his altar.

gltv@Ruth:4:12 @ And let your house be as the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which Jehovah shall give to you of this young woman.

gltv@1Samuel:1:5 @ And to Hannah he gave one double portion, for he loved Hannah. And Jehovah had shut up her womb.

gltv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And even to vexation her rival provoked her, so as to make her tremble, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.

gltv@1Samuel:1:7 @ And so he did year by year, as often as she went up to the house of Jehovah, so she provoked her. And she wept, and did not eat.

gltv@1Samuel:1:8 @ And her husband Elkanah said to her, Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart afflicted? Am I not better to you than ten sons?

gltv@1Samuel:1:9 @ And Hannah rose up after eating in Shiloh, and after drinking. And Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the side post of the temple of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:1:10 @ And she was bitter of soul, and prayed to Jehovah, and she wept copiously.

gltv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if You will certainly look upon the affliction of Your handmaid, and shall remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, and shall give to Your maidservant a man-child, then I will give him to Jehovah all the days of his life; and a razor shall not go up on his head.

gltv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Do not put your handmaid down for a daughter of wickedness; for from the abundance of my complaint and vexation until now I have been speaking.

gltv@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raised the poor from the dust; He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to cause them to sit with nobles; yea, He caused them to inherit a throne of honor; for to Jehovah are the pillars of the earth; and He sets the habitable world on them.

gltv@1Samuel:2:9 @ He keeps the feet of His saints, and the wicked are silenced in darkness; for man does not become mighty by power.

gltv@1Samuel:2:10 @ They who strive with Jehovah will be smashed; He thunders in the heavens against him; Jehovah judges the ends of the earth, and gives strength to His king, and exalts the horn of His anointed.

gltv@1Samuel:2:12 @ And the sons of Eli were sons of worthlessness; they did not know Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the custom of the priests with the people was: any man offering a sacrifice, (and the priest's servant came when the flesh was boiling, with the three-toothed hook in his hand),

gltv@1Samuel:2:14 @ even he stuck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook brought up, the priest took for himself. So they did to all Israel who came in there to Shiloh.

gltv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Yea, before they made the fat to smoke, then the priest's servant came in. And he said to the man who was sacrificing, Give meat to roast for the priest; and he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.

gltv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, Let the fat be made to smoke as the day, and then take as much as your soul desires; then he would say, No, but you shall give now. And if not, I will take it by force.

gltv@1Samuel:2:22 @ And Eli was very old, and had heard all that his sons did to Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled by troops at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

gltv@1Samuel:2:23 @ And he said to them, Why do you do things like these? For I am hearing of your evil doings from all these people.

gltv@1Samuel:2:24 @ No my sons, for the report which I am hearing is not good, causing the people of Jehovah to transgress.

gltv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If a man sins against a man, then God shall judge him. But if a man sins against Jehovah, who shall pray for him? But they did not listen to the voice of their father, because Jehovah desired to execute them.

gltv@1Samuel:2:26 @ And the boy Samuel went on, growing both in stature and in good looks, both with Jehovah and also with men.

gltv@1Samuel:2:27 @ And a man of God came to Eli, and said to him, So says Jehovah: Did I reveal Myself plainly to the house of your father when they were in Egypt, at the house of Pharaoh,

gltv@1Samuel:2:28 @ even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be priest to Me, to go up on My altar, to cause incense to smoke, to bear an ephod before Me? And did I give to your father's house all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

gltv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I commanded in My habitation? And why do you honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of My people?

gltv@1Samuel:2:30 @ So says Jehovah the God of Israel, I said indeed that your house and your father's house should walk before Me until forever. But now Jehovah says, Be it far from Me! For those who honor Me, I will honor; and those despising Me will be despicable.

gltv@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, days come when I shall cut off your arm, and the arm of your father's house, that no old man shall be in your house.

gltv@1Samuel:2:32 @ And you shall see an adversary in My habitation, in all that he does good with Israel. And there shall not be an old man in your house all the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:33 @ And the man of yours that I shall not cut off from My altar shall be to cause your eyes to fail, and to grieve your soul. And all the increase of your house shall die young men.

gltv@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this shall be the sign to you, that which shall come on your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day the both of them shall die.

gltv@1Samuel:2:35 @ And I shall raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He shall do all that is in My heart and in My soul. And I shall build for him a sure house; and he shall walk before My anointed all the days.

gltv@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall be, everyone who is left in your house shall come in to bow to him for a wage of silver and a loaf of bread. And they shall say, please admit me into one of the priest's offices, to eat a bit of bread.

gltv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And Jehovah again called Samuel, the third time. And he rose up and went to Eli and said, Behold, I am here, for you have called me. And Eli understood at Jehovah was calling the boy.

gltv@1Samuel:3:9 @ And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if One calls you, even you shall say, Speak, O Jehovah, for Your servant hears you. And Samuel lay down in his place.

gltv@1Samuel:3:10 @ And Jehovah came and stood, and called as the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for Your servant hears You.

gltv@1Samuel:3:11 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold! I am doing a thing in Israel at which the two ears of every one hearing it shall tingle.

gltv@1Samuel:3:13 @ And I declare to him that I am judging his house forever, for the iniquity which he has known; for his sons have been making themselves vile, and he has not restrained them.

gltv@1Samuel:3:14 @ And so I have sworn to the house of Eli, the iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for, by sacrifice or by offering, until forever.

gltv@1Samuel:3:15 @ And Samuel lay until the morning. And he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.

gltv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, What is the word which He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you keep back anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you.

gltv@1Samuel:3:18 @ And Samuel told him all the words, and did not hide from him. And he said, It is Jehovah; He does which is good in His eyes.

gltv@1Samuel:3:19 @ And Samuel grew up, and Jehovah was with him, and did not let any of his words fall to the earth.

gltv@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel knew, from Dan even to Beersheba, that Samuel was confirmed to be a prophet to Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:3:21 @ And Jehovah again appeared in Shiloh. For Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah.

gltv@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel was revealed to all Israel. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines for battle. And they pitched beside Ebenezer, and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.

gltv@1Samuel:4:2 @ And the Philistines set themselves in order to meet Israel, and the battle was spread. And Israel was stricken before the Philistines. And they struck about four thousand men from the battle line in the field.

gltv@1Samuel:18:25 @ And Saul said, So you shall say to David, There is no delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged on the king's enemies. And Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.

gltv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And his servants told David these words. And the thing was right in David's eyes, to be son-in-law to the king. And the days had not been fulfilled.

gltv@1Samuel:18:27 @ And David rose up and went out, he and his men. And they struck two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and he gave them in full to the king, in order to be son-in-law to the king. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

gltv@1Samuel:19:3 @ And I, I will go out and will stand by my father's side in the field where you are. And I will speak of you to my father, and shall see what it is, and will tell you.

gltv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke good of David to his father Saul, and said to him, Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you; also because his works for you are very good.

gltv@1Samuel:19:5 @ Yea, he has put his life in his hand and killed the Philistine And Jehovah worked a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. And why do you sin against innocent blood, to put David to death for no reason?

gltv@1Samuel:20:1 @ And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?

gltv@1Samuel:20:2 @ And he said to him, Far be it! You shall not die. Behold, my father shall not do anything great or small, and not reveal it to my ear. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so.

gltv@1Samuel:20:3 @ And David again swore and said, Your father has certainly known that I have found favor in your eyes; and he said, Do not let Jonathan know this, that he not be grieved. And yet, as Jehovah lives, and your soul lives, there is only a step between me and death.

gltv@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said to Jonathan, Behold, the new moon is tomorrow. And I should certainly sit with the king to eat. And you shall send me away, and I shall be hidden in the field until the third evening.

gltv@1Samuel:20:8 @ And you shall do kindness to your servant, for you have brought your servant with you into a covenant of Jehovah. And if there is iniquity in me, you kill me. For why is this, that you bring me to your father?

gltv@1Samuel:20:9 @ And Jonathan said, Far be it from you! For if I knew with certainty that evil was determined by my father, to come on you, would I not tell it to you?

gltv@1Samuel:20:10 @ Then David said to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? Or what if your father answers harshly?

gltv@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said to David, Come, and we shall go out to the field; and both of them went out to the field.

gltv@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David, Jehovah the God of Israel be witness when I search my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, and behold, there is good toward David, and I do not send to you, and do not reveal it in your ear.

gltv@1Samuel:20:13 @ So may Jehovah do to Jonathan, and do much more than this, if it should seem good to my father to do evil to you, then I will reveal it in your ear and send you away. And you shall go in peace; and may Jehovah be with you, as He was with my father.

gltv@1Samuel:20:14 @ And not only while I live, even you shall not do with me the kindness of Jehovah, that I not die,

gltv@1Samuel:20:15 @ but you shall not cut off your kindness from my house forever, not even when Jehovah cuts off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the earth.

gltv@1Samuel:20:20 @ And I will shoot three arrows to the side, shooting at a mark for myself.

gltv@1Samuel:20:21 @ And, behold, I shall send a boy, saying, Find the arrows! If I expressly say to the boy, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then you come, for peace shall be to you, and there is nothing, as Jehovah lives.

gltv@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say to the young man, Behold, the arrows are away from you and onwards; go, for Jehovah has sent you away.

gltv@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened on the day after the new moon, David's place was empty. And Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?

gltv@1Samuel:20:28 @ And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked of me to go to Bethlehem.

gltv@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, Please send me away, for we have a family sacrifice in the city, and my brother commanded me. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me be released, and to see my brothers. So he has not come to the table of the king.

gltv@1Samuel:20:30 @ And the anger of Saul glowed against Jonathan. And he said to him, Son of a perverse rebelliousness! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?

gltv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on earth you shall not be established, you and your kingdom. And now send and bring him to me, for he is a son of death.

gltv@1Samuel:20:33 @ And Saul threw the spear at him, to strike him. And Jonathan knew that it had been determined by his father to kill David.

gltv@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan rose up from the table in the heat of anger. And he did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved for David. For his father had put him to shame.

gltv@1Samuel:20:39 @ And the boy did not know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

gltv@1Samuel:20:40 @ And Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy with him, and said to him, Go, bring to the city.

gltv@1Samuel:20:41 @ The boy left, and David rose up from the south side. And he fell on his face to the ground. And he bowed three times. And they each one kissed his friend. And they each wept on his friend, until David exceeded.

gltv@1Samuel:20:42 @ And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, because we have sworn, the two of us, in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah shall be between you and me, and between my seed and your seed forever. And he rose up and went. And Jonathan went into the city.

gltv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest and said to him, Surely, a woman has been kept from us as yesterday and the third day, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy. And in a way the holy bread is common; also surely today it is sanctified in the vessels.

gltv@1Samuel:21:6 @ And the priest gave the holy bread to him, for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presence which is taken from the presence of Jehovah in order to put hot bread in on the day it is taken away.

gltv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here under your hand spear or sword? For I have taken neither my sword or my weapons, for the king's matter was urgent.

gltv@1Samuel:21:9 @ And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck in the valley of Elah; behold, it is wrapped in the cloak behind the ephod. If you desire, take it for yourself; for there is no other here except it. And David said, There is none like it. Give it to me.

gltv@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David the king of the land? Is it not of this one they sang in dances, saying, Saul killed his thousands, and David his myriads?

gltv@1Samuel:22:8 @ that all of you have conspired against me, and no one was revealing in my ear when my son cut a covenant with the son of Jesse? And not one of you is sorry for me, even to reveal in my ear that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day.

gltv@1Samuel:22:9 @ And Doeg the Edomite, even he was set over Saul's servants, answered and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

gltv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Have I today begun to ask of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of my father's house, for your servant has known nothing of this, more or less.

gltv@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the runners that stood by him, Turn and kill the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing, and did not reveal it in my ear.

gltv@1Kings:8:63 @ and Solomon offered the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he had offered to Jehovah: twenty two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep; and the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

gltv@1Kings:8:64 @ On that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for he had made the burnt offering there, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings; because the bronze altar that was before Jehovah was too small to contain the burnt offering, and the food offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.

gltv@1Kings:8:65 @ And at that time Solomon made a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, fourteen days.

gltv@1Kings:8:66 @ On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, and went to their tents rejoicing and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah had done to His servant David, and to His people Israel.

gltv@1Kings:9:3 @ And Jehovah said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have sanctified this house that you have built to put My name there forever; and My eyes and My heart shall be there forever.

gltv@1Kings:9:9 @ And they shall say, Because they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought their fathers out from the land of Egypt, and they laid hold on other gods and bowed themselves to them and served them. On account of this Jehovah has brought in upon them all this evil.

gltv@1Kings:9:13 @ And he said, What are these cities that you have given to me, my brother? And one called them the land of Cabul to this day.

gltv@1Kings:9:14 @ And Hiram sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

gltv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason of the labor force that king Solomon raised, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

gltv@1Kings:9:16 @ (Pharaoh the king of Egypt had gone up and had captured Gezer, and had burned it with fire. And he killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and gave it as a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.)

gltv@1Kings:9:21 @ their sons left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not been able to exterminate, Solomon even caused to go on them a burden of forced labor to this day.

gltv@1Kings:9:22 @ But Solomon did not choose a slave out of the sons of Israel, for they were the men of war, and his servants, and his rulers, and his commanders, and the commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

gltv@1Kings:9:23 @ These were the commanders of the officers who were over the work of Solomon: five hundred and fifty, those ruling among the people who were laboring in the work.

gltv@1Kings:9:24 @ But the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of David to her house that he built for her; then he built Millo.

gltv@1Kings:9:25 @ And three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built to Jehovah, and he burned incense on the altar before Jehovah, and finished the house.

gltv@1Kings:9:26 @ And king Solomon built a navy in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the lip of the Sea of Reeds, in the land of Edom.

gltv@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent his servants in the navy, shipmen who knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon;

gltv@1Kings:9:28 @ and they came to Ophir and took gold from there, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it in to king Solomon.

gltv@1Kings:10:1 @ And the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon as to the name of Jehovah, and she came to test him with hard questions.

gltv@1Kings:10:2 @ And she came to Jerusalem with a very great company, camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stones. And she came to Solomon and spoke with him all that had been in her heart.

gltv@1Kings:10:3 @ And Solomon told her all her matters; there was not one thing hidden from the king that he did not declare to her.

gltv@1Kings:10:4 @ And the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he built,

gltv@1Kings:10:5 @ and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his cupbearers and his burnt offering that he offered in the house of Jehovah; and there was no more breath in her.

gltv@1Kings:10:6 @ And she said to the king, The word that I heard in my land was true as to your matters and your wisdom.

gltv@1Kings:10:7 @ And I did not believe the words until I had come and my eyes had seen; and behold, the half was not told to me. You have wisdom and prosperity exceeding the fame which I heard.

gltv@1Kings:10:8 @ Oh the happiness of your men! Oh the happiness of your servants, these who stand before you continually, who hear your wisdom!

gltv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be Jehovah your God who delighted in you, to put you on the throne of Israel, because Jehovah loved Israel forever, therefore He made you king, to do judgment and righteousness.

gltv@1Kings:10:10 @ And she gave to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and very many spices, and precious stones; no spice like that came any more for abundance, that the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

gltv@1Kings:10:11 @ And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir brought in from Ophir almug trees, a great many, and precious stones;

gltv@1Kings:10:12 @ and the king made the almug trees a support for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and lyres for singers; no such almug trees have come, nor have there been seen such to this day.

gltv@1Kings:10:13 @ And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a memorial of king Solomon. And she turned and went to her land, she and her servants.

gltv@1Kings:10:14 @ And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty six talents of gold,

gltv@1Kings:10:15 @ apart from the merchant men, and from the traffic of the traders, and from all the Arabian kings, and from the governors of the lands.

gltv@1Kings:10:17 @ and three hundred shields of beaten gold: three minas of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of canon.

gltv@1Kings:10:18 @ And the king made a great throne of ivory and overlaid it with refined gold.

gltv@1Kings:10:19 @ The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind; and stays were on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays;

gltv@1Kings:10:20 @ and twelve lions were standing on the six steps, on this side and on that; there was not the like made in any kingdom.

gltv@1Kings:10:21 @ And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of refined gold; there was none of silver; it was not counted for anything in the days of Solomon;

gltv@1Kings:10:22 @ For the king had a navy of Tarshish at sea with a navy of Hiram; once in three years the navy of Tarshish would come bearing gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

gltv@1Kings:10:23 @ And king Solomon was greater than any of the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom;

gltv@1Kings:10:24 @ and all the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God had put into his heart;

gltv@1Kings:10:25 @ and they were each one bringing his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

gltv@1Kings:10:26 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen, and he had a thousand, four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in Jerusalem.

gltv@1Kings:10:27 @ And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedars as the sycamores that are in the low country, for abundance.

gltv@1Kings:10:28 @ And the horses that king Solomon had were brought from Egypt, and from Kue; the king's merchants received them from Kue at a price;

gltv@1Kings:10:29 @ and a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria they brought them out by their means.

gltv@1Kings:11:1 @ And king Solomon loved many foreign women, even the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, Hittites;

gltv@1Kings:11:2 @ of the nations which Jehovah said to the sons of Israel, You shall not go in to them, and they shall not go in to you; surely they shall turn aside your heart after their gods; Solomon clung to these in love.

gltv@1Kings:11:3 @ And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

gltv@1Kings:11:4 @ And it happened, at the time Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of his father David.

gltv@1Kings:11:5 @ And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites;

gltv@1Kings:11:6 @ and Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and did not go fully after Jehovah like his father David.

gltv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

gltv@1Kings:11:8 @ and so he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

gltv@1Kings:11:9 @ And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, for his heart had bent away from Jehovah, God of Israel who had appeared to him twice,

gltv@1Kings:11:10 @ and had given a charge to him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he did not keep that which Jehovah commanded.

gltv@1Kings:11:11 @ And Jehovah said to Solomon, Because this has been done by you, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged on you, I shall surely tear the kingdom from you and shall give it to your servant.

gltv@1Kings:11:12 @ Only, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I shall tear it out of your son's hand.

gltv@1Kings:11:13 @ Only I will not tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.

gltv@1Kings:11:14 @ And it happened, Jehovah raised an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the seed of the king in Edom.

gltv@1Kings:11:15 @ And it happened when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, after he had stricken every male in Edom;

gltv@1Kings:11:16 @ Joab and all Israel remained there six months until every male in Edom was cut off.

gltv@1Kings:11:17 @ And Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; and Hadad was a little child.

gltv@1Kings:11:18 @ And they rose up out of Midian and came to Paran, and they took men with them out of Paran and came into Egypt, to Pharaoh the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house and commanded bread for him, and gave land to him.

gltv@1Kings:11:19 @ And Hadad found much favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he gave him a wife, the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

gltv@1Kings:11:20 @ And the sister of Tahpenes bore him a son, Genubath, and Tahpenes weaned him in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

gltv@1Kings:11:21 @ And Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead. And Hadad said to Pharaoh, Send me away and I will go to my land.

gltv@1Kings:11:22 @ And Pharaoh said to him, But what are you lacking with me, that, lo, you are seeking to go to your land? And he said, Nothing. However, you shall certainly send me away.

gltv@1Kings:11:23 @ And God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliadah, who fled from his lord Hadadezer the king of Zobah.

gltv@1Kings:11:24 @ And he gathered men to himself, and was head of a troop when David killed them. And they went to Damascus and lived in it, and reigned in Damascus.

gltv@1Kings:11:25 @ And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the evil that Hadad did; and he despised Israel and reigned over Syria.

gltv@1Kings:11:26 @ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, a servant of Solomon (and his mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman) he also lifted up a hand against the king.

gltv@1Kings:11:27 @ And this was the thing for which he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, repairing the breaks of the city of his father David.

gltv@1Kings:11:28 @ And the man Jeroboam was a mighty warrior. And Solomon saw the young man, that he was doing work. And he appointed him to all the burden of the house of Joseph.

gltv@1Kings:11:29 @ And at that time it happened that Jeroboam had gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, found him in the way. And he covered himself with a new garment, and both of them were by themselves in a field.

gltv@1Kings:11:30 @ And Ahijah laid hold on the new garment on him and tore it into twelve pieces.

gltv@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten pieces for yourself. For so says Jehovah, God of Israel, Behold, I am tearing the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and giving to you the ten tribes.

gltv@1Kings:11:32 @ And he shall have the one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

gltv@1Kings:11:33 @ Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, to Chemosh the god of Moab, to Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and have not walked in My ways, to do the right in My eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, as his father David did.

gltv@1Kings:11:34 @ But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for My servant David's sake, whom I chose, because he kept My commands and My statutes.

gltv@1Kings:11:35 @ But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, ten tribes.

gltv@1Kings:11:36 @ And I will give one tribe to his son, that there may be a lamp to My servant David before Me all the days in Jerusalem the city that I have chosen to Myself, to put My name there.

gltv@1Kings:11:38 @ And it shall be, if you shall hear all that I command you, and shall walk in My ways, and do that which is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as My servant David did, then I shall be with you and shall build a sure house for you, as I built for David, and shall give Israel to you.

gltv@1Kings:11:39 @ And for this I will humble the seed of David; but not forever.

gltv@1Kings:11:40 @ And Solomon sought to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam rose up and fled to Egypt, to Shishak the king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

gltv@1Kings:12:5 @ And he said to them, Go; yet in three days come back to me. And the people went.

gltv@1Kings:12:6 @ And king Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had been standing before the face of his father Solomon while he was alive, saying, How do you advise in order to answer this people?

gltv@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, If you are servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them and speak to them good words, then they will be servants to you forever.

gltv@1Kings:12:8 @ But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they advised him, and consulted with the young men who had grown up with him, who were standing before him.

gltv@1Kings:12:14 @ and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I shall add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I will surely chastise you with scorpions.

gltv@1Kings:12:15 @ And the king did not listen to the people, for the revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word that Jehovah spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

gltv@1Kings:12:16 @ And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people sent the king back word, saying, What portion do we have in David? Yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, O David! And Israel went to its tents.

gltv@1Kings:12:17 @ As to the sons of Israel, those living in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

gltv@Ezra:6:3 @ In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king placed a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices and let the foundations of it be strongly laid. Its height shall be sixty cubits; its breadth sixty cubits;

gltv@Ezra:6:4 @ with three layers of rolling stones, and a layer of new timber. And let the expenses be given out of the king's house.

gltv@Ezra:6:5 @ And also let the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, that Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be given back and go to the temple in Jerusalem, to their place. And put them in the house of God.

gltv@Ezra:6:6 @ Now, Tatnai, governor of the province Beyond the River, Shetharboznai, and your associates, the officials who are Beyond the River, you be far from there.

gltv@Ezra:6:7 @ Let the work of this house of God alone. Let the governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God in its place.

gltv@Ezra:6:8 @ Also I make a decree as to what you shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of that house of God, that the exact expense be given to these men from the king's property, out of the tax Beyond the River, so that they may not have to cease working.

gltv@Ezra:6:9 @ And that which they need, both young bulls and rams and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of Heaven; wheat, salt, wine, and oil, as say the priests in Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail,

gltv@Ezra:6:10 @ so that they may offer sacrifices of sweet odor to the God of Heaven, and pray for the life of the king and of his sons.

gltv@Ezra:6:12 @ And may the God who has caused His name to dwell there destroy any kings and people who shall put their hand to change or to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have placed a decree. Let it be done exactly.

gltv@Ezra:6:13 @ Then Tatnai, governor of the province Beyond the River, Shetharboznai, and their associates exactly did so, according to that which Darius the king had sent.

gltv@Ezra:6:14 @ And the elders of the Jews were building. And they were succeeding through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built, and finished, according to the commandment of the God of Israel and according to the command of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes the king of Persia.

gltv@Ezra:6:15 @ And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

gltv@Ezra:6:16 @ And the sons of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.

gltv@Ezra:6:17 @ And they offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and twelve male goats, for a sin offering for all Israel, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

gltv@Ezra:6:18 @ And they raised up the priests in their sections, and the Levites in their division, for the service of God which is in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.

gltv@Ezra:6:19 @ And the sons of the exile performed the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month.

gltv@Ezra:6:20 @ For the priests and the Levites were purified together; all of them were pure. And they slaughtered the passover lamb for all the sons of the exile, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.

gltv@Ezra:6:21 @ And the sons of Israel ate, those who had returned from the exile, and who had all separated themselves to them from the impurity of the nations of the land, to seek Jehovah the God of Israel.

gltv@Ezra:6:22 @ And they performed the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy. For Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to make their hands strong in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

gltv@Ezra:7:1 @ And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king of Persia, the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,

gltv@Ezra:7:2 @ the son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

gltv@Ezra:7:3 @ the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,

gltv@Ezra:7:4 @ the son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,

gltv@Ezra:7:5 @ the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the head priest,

gltv@Ezra:7:6 @ this went up from Babylon. And he was a skilled scribe in the law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. And the king granted him all he asked, according to the hand of Jehovah his God on him.

gltv@Ezra:7:7 @ And of the sons of Israel went up some of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the temple-slaves to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

gltv@Ezra:7:8 @ And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king.

gltv@Ezra:7:9 @ For on the first of the first month, he laid the foundation in order to go up from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of God on him.

gltv@Ezra:7:10 @ For had prepared his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach statutes and judgments in Israel.

gltv@Ezra:7:11 @ And this is the copy of the letter which the king, Artaxerxes, gave to the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commands of Jehovah, and of His statutes to Israel:

gltv@Ezra:7:12 @ Artaxerxes, king of kings, to the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of Heaven, perfect peace, and now:

gltv@Ezra:7:13 @ From me was made a decree that any one of the people of Israel, and their priests and Levites in my kingdom who volunteers to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you;

gltv@Ezra:7:14 @ since you have been sent by the king, and by his seven counselors to ask about Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of your God in your hand;

gltv@Ezra:7:15 @ and to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose house is in Jerusalem:

gltv@Ezra:7:16 @ even all the silver and gold which you can find in all the province of Babylon, with the free offering of the people, and of the priests, giving willingly for the house of their God in Jerusalem.

gltv@Ezra:7:17 @ Therefore of this you shall diligently buy with this silver bulls, rams, lambs, with their food offerings, and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

gltv@Ezra:7:18 @ And whatever shall seem good to you and to your brothers to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, do that after the will of your God.

gltv@Ezra:7:19 @ Also the vessels which are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver before the God of Jerusalem.

gltv@Ezra:7:20 @ And the rest of the needs of the house of your God which falls to you to give, give it out of the king's treasure house.

gltv@Ezra:7:21 @ And I, Artaxerxes the king, made a decree to all the treasurers who are Beyond the River, that whatever the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of Heaven, shall ask of you, it shall be done exactly,

gltv@Ezra:7:22 @ to a hundred talents of silver, and to a hundred kors of wheat, and to a hundred baths of wine, and to a hundred baths of oil, and salt without stipulation.

gltv@Ezra:7:23 @ Whatever is commanded by the God of Heaven, let it be carefully done for the house of the God of Heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

gltv@Ezra:7:24 @ Also, we notify you that in regard to any of the priests and the Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple-slaves, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, taxes, or forced labor on them.

gltv@Ezra:7:25 @ And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God in your hand, you appoint judges and magistrates who may judge all the people who are Beyond the River; all who know the laws of your God; and those who do not know, you cause to know.

gltv@Ezra:7:26 @ And whoever will not do the law of your God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently on him, whether to death, or to exile, or to confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

gltv@Ezra:7:27 @ Blessed be Jehovah, the God of our fathers, who has put this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem.

gltv@Ezra:7:28 @ And He has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty leaders. And I was made strong, as the hand of Jehovah my God was on me. And I gathered out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

gltv@Ezra:8:1 @ Now these are the heads of the fathers, and the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king:

gltv@Ezra:8:2 @ From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush.

gltv@Ezra:8:3 @ From the sons of Shechaniah, from the sons of Parosh, Zechariah. And with him were counted by genealogy a hundred and fifty of the males.

gltv@Ezra:8:4 @ From the sons of Pahathmoab, Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and two hundred males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:5 @ From the sons of Shechaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and three hundred males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:6 @ And from the sons of Adin, Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males.

gltv@Ezra:8:7 @ And from the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and seventy males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:8 @ And from the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah the son of Michael, and eighty males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:9 @ From the sons of Joab, Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and two hundred and eighteen males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:10 @ And from the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and a hundred and sixty males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:11 @ And from the sons of Bebai, Zechariah the son of Bebai, and twenty eight males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:12 @ And from the sons of Azgad, Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and a hundred and ten males with him.

gltv@Ezra:8:13 @ And from the last sons of Adonikam, these: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and sixty males with them.

gltv@Ezra:8:14 @ And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai, Zabbud, and seventy males with them.

gltv@Ezra:8:15 @ And I gathered them to the river which runs to Ahava. And we camped there in tents three days. And I considered the people and the priests, and did not find there any of the sons of Levi.

gltv@Ezra:8:16 @ Then I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib and for Elnathan, men of understanding.

gltv@Ezra:8:17 @ And I sent them with command to Iddo, the chief of the place Casiphia, and I put in their mouth words to say to Iddo, to his brothers the temple-slaves, at the place Casiphia; that they should bring to us ministers for the house of our God.

gltv@Ezra:8:18 @ And by the good hand of our God on us, they brought us a man of understanding from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen.

gltv@Ezra:8:19 @ Also came Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah from the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty.

gltv@Ezra:8:20 @ Also came of the temple-slaves whom David and the leaders had chosen for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty temple-slaves. All of them were called by name.

gltv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I called a fast there at the river Ahava, so that we might humble ourselves before our God, in order to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our goods.

gltv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to ask of the king troops and horsemen to help us against the enemy of the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is on all those who seek Him for good; but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.

gltv@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and prayed to our God for good. And He was pleased to hear us.

gltv@Ezra:8:24 @ Then I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brothers with them.

gltv@Ezra:8:25 @ And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering of the house of our God, which the king and his counselors, and his lords, and all Israel who were there had lifted up.

gltv@Ezra:8:26 @ I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of a hundred talents, a hundred talents of gold,

gltv@Ezra:8:28 @ And I said to them, You are holy to Jehovah, and the articles also are holy. And the silver and the gold are a free gift to Jehovah, the God of your fathers.

gltv@Ezra:8:29 @ Watch and keep them until you weigh before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and the chief of the fathers of Israel in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of Jehovah.

gltv@Ezra:8:30 @ So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the articles, to bring them to Jerusalem, to the house of our God.

gltv@Ezra:8:31 @ And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was on us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and ambushers along the way.

gltv@Ezra:8:32 @ And we came to Jerusalem, and remained there three days.

gltv@Ezra:8:33 @ And on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the articles were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest. And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas, and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, the Levites.

gltv@Ezra:8:34 @ By number, or by weight of all, and all the weight was written at that time.

gltv@Ezra:8:35 @ Those who came out of the captivity of the sons of exile offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve young bulls for all Israel, ninety six rams, seventy seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering. All was a burnt offering to Jehovah.

gltv@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the king's edicts to the king's satraps, and to the governors of the province Beyond the River. And they supported the people and the house of God.

gltv@Ezra:9:1 @ And at the end of these things, the leaders came near to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, as to their idolatries, even the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

gltv@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken from their daughters for themselves, and for their sons. So the holy seed have mixed themselves with the people of the lands. Yes, the hand of the leaders and the overseers has been foremost in this treachery.

gltv@Ezra:9:3 @ And when I heard this thing, I tore my garments and my robe, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down stunned.

gltv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel were gathered to me, because of the perfidy of the exiles. And I remained stunned until the evening offering.

gltv@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening offering I rose up from my fasting, and with my garment and my robe torn, I even fell on my knees and spread out my hands to Jehovah my God.

gltv@Ezra:9:6 @ And I said, O my God, I am ashamed and wounded to lift up my face to You, O my God. For our iniquities have increased over our head, and our guiltiness has grown to the heavens.

gltv@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers we have been in great guilt until this day. And for our iniquities we, our kings, our priests, have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to plunder, and to shame of faces to this day.

gltv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we were slaves, yet our God has not left us in our bondage, but has given mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to raise up the house of our God, and to make stand its ruins, and to give to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

gltv@Ezra:9:11 @ which You have commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, The land into which you go, to possess it, it is an unclean land with the impurity of the people of the lands, with their abominations with which they have filled it, from mouth to mouth with their uncleanness.

gltv@Ezra:9:12 @ And now do not give your daughters to their sons, and do not take their daughters to your sons, or seek their peace, or their wealth forever, so that you may be strong and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons forever.

gltv@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come on us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, since You our God have held back the rod on our iniquities, and have given us such an escape as this.

gltv@Ezra:9:14 @ Shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the people of these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had crushed us, until there is no remnant or survivor?

gltv@Ezra:9:15 @ O Jehovah the God of Israel, You are righteous. For we are left as escapees, as it is this day. Behold, we are before You in our guilt, for none is able to stand before You because of this.

gltv@Ezra:10:1 @ And while was praying and making his confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, a very great congregation of men and women and children gathered to him out of Israel. For the people wept with a great weeping.

gltv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have sinned against our God, and have dwelt with foreign women from the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

gltv@Ezra:10:3 @ And now let us cut a covenant with our God to put away all the women, and those born of them, according to the counsel of the Lord and of those who tremble at the command of our God. And let it be done according to the law.

gltv@Ezra:10:4 @ Rise up, for the matter is on you. We also will be with you. Be strong and act.

gltv@Ezra:10:5 @ Then rose up and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.

gltv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then rose up from before the house of God and went into the room of Johanan the son of Eliashib. And he went there, and he did not eat food, nor did he drink, for he mourned for the perfidy of the exiles.

gltv@Ezra:10:7 @ And they passed a call throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the exile, to assemble at Jerusalem;

gltv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whoever would not come within three days according to the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his property would be forfeited, and he would be excluded from the congregation of the exiles.

gltv@Ezra:10:9 @ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered to Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month. And all the people sat in the plaza of the house of God, trembling because of the matter, and because of the heavy rain.

gltv@Ezra:10:10 @ And the priest stood up and said to them, You have trespassed and have dwelt with foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

gltv@Ezra:10:11 @ And now make confession to Jehovah God of your fathers and do His will. And separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.

gltv@Ezra:10:12 @ Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice Right! According to your word it is on us to do.

gltv@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of heavy rain. And we are not able to stand outside. And the work is not of one or two days. For we have greatly sinned in this thing.

gltv@Ezra:10:14 @ Please let our rulers for all the congregation stand, and let all those who have dwelt with foreign women in our cities come at a set time, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter has turned from us.

gltv@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel, and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah made a stand against this. And Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.

gltv@Ezra:10:16 @ And the sons of the exile did so. And the priest with men, heads of the fathers, according to the house of their fathers, and all of them by names, were separated. And they sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

gltv@Ezra:10:17 @ And they finished with all the men who had dwelt with foreign women by the first day of the first month.

gltv@Ezra:10:18 @ And among the sons of the priests, these were found who had dwelt with foreign women: From the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

gltv@Ezra:10:19 @ And they gave their hands that they would put away their women. And being guilty they offered a ram of the flock for their sin.

gltv@Ezra:10:20 @ And from the sons of Immer were Hanani and Zebadiah.

gltv@Ezra:10:21 @ And from the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:2 @ Hanani came, one of my brothers, he and men of Judah. And I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and about Jerusalem.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great evil and shame. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:4 @ And it happened, when I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned for days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of Heaven.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:5 @ And I said, I beseech You, Jehovah God of Heaven, the great and awesome God, keeping the covenant and mercy to those loving Him, and to keepers of His commandments,

gltv@Nehemiah:1:6 @ let Your ear now be open, and Your eyes open, so that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You today, day and night, for Your servants the sons of Israel; and confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:7 @ We have acted utterly corrupt against You, and have not kept the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which You commanded Your servant Moses.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:8 @ I beseech You, remember the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, If you sin, I will scatter you among the peoples.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:9 @ But if you will turn to Me and keep My commandments, and do them, though you were cast out to the outermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to set My name there.

gltv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, I beg You, let Your ear be open to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who delight to fear Your name. And I beg You, bless Your servant today and grant him mercy before this man. For I was cupbearer to the king.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it happened in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him. And I took the wine and gave to the king. And I had never been sad to his face.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ And the king said to me, Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very much afraid.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ And I said to the king, let the king live forever. Why should not my face be sad when the place of my fathers' tombs, the City, lies waste and its gates are burned with fire?

gltv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said to me, For what do you ask? So I prayed to the God of Heaven,

gltv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ and I said to the king, If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah to the city of my fathers' tombs, so that I might build it.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ And the king said to me, the queen also sitting beside him, For how long shall your journey be? And when will you return? So it pleased the king, and he sent me; and I set him a time.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ And I rose up in the night, I and a few men with me. And I told no man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem. And there was no animal with me except the animal that I rode on.

gltv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night by the Valley Gate, even before the Jackal Fountain, and to the Dung Gate. And I examined the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and its gates which were burned with fire.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ And it happened, when Sanballat and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that repairing of the walls of Jerusalem had gone up, that the breaks were being closed up, it was very angering to them.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ And all of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and do harm to it.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ But we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ And Judah said, The strength of the burden carriers is weakening, and there is much rubbish, so that we are not able to build the wall.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ And it happened when the Jews who lived near them came in, they said to us ten times, From all places where you shall return, they will be against us.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ So I stationed from the lowest parts of the place, from the back of the wall, in the higher places, even I stationed the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I saw. And I rose up and said to the nobles and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and terrible, and fight for your brothers, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had broken their counsel, all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ And it happened, from that time on, half of my servants worked in the work, and the other half of them were holding the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the scale-armor. And the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:17 @ the ones who built on the wall, and the ones who carried a burden, bearing with one of his hands, a worker in the work; and one holder of the weapon.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ For each man of the builders had his sword tied by his side, and built. And he who sounded the ram's horn was beside me.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:19 @ And I said to the nobles and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ In whatever place you hear the sound of the ram's horn, gather there to us. Our God will fight for us.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored in the work. And half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning until the stars came out.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ Likewise at the same time I said to the people, Let each man with his servant stay inside Jerusalem, so that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labor in the day.

gltv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, though each had his vessel of water.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:1 @ And there was a great cry of the people, and of their wives, against their brothers the Jews.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:2 @ For some were saying, With our sons and our daughters, we are many. let us take up grain for them, so that we may eat and live.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ Some also were saying, We have mortgaged our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses; let us take up grain because of the famine.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:4 @ And some were saying, We have borrowed silver for the king's tax, on our fields, and our vineyards,

gltv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ yet now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers; as their sons, so are our sons; and, behold, we are bringing our sons and our daughters into bondage, to be slaves; yea, there are some of our daughters brought into bondage. And there is no power for our hand, and our fields and our vineyards are to other men.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:6 @ And when I heard their cry, and these words, I was very angry.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ Then my heart ruled within myself, and I contended with the nobles and the magistrates. And I said to them, You are each man lending at interest, from his brother. And I held a great assembly against them.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said to them, According to our ability we have redeemed our brothers, the Jews who were sold to the nations. And will you yet sell your brothers? Or shall they be sold to us? Then they were silent, and did not find a word.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Also I said, The thing you do is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

gltv@Nehemiah:5:10 @ Likewise, my brothers and my servants are lending them silver and grain. I beg you, let us leave off this interest.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ I beg you, even today give back to them their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses; also the hundredth part of their silver, and of the grain, the wine, and the oil, that you have taken from them.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ And they said, We will restore, and will ask nothing from them. So we will do as you say. Then I called the priests and took an oath from them that they would do according to this word.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Also I shook my lap, and I said, So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not do this thing; even may he be shaken out this way and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised Jehovah. And the people did according to this thing.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ And from the time that I was chosen to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even to the thirty second year of Artaxerxes the king, twelve years, I and my brothers did not eat the bread of the governor.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ The former governors that had been before me were too heavy on the people, and had taken bread and wine from them, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people. But I did not do this, because of the fear of God.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Yea, I also was strong in the work of this wall, nor did we buy a field. And all my servants were gathered there to the work.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ And at my table were a hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from among the nations around us.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ And that which was prepared for me daily was one ox, six fat sheep. Also birds were prepared for me; and between ten days, in all of the wine plentifully. And with this I did not seek the bread of the governor, for the bondage was heavy on this people.

gltv@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Think upon me for good, my God, according to all that I have done for this people.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ And it happened, when it was heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and to the rest of our enemies, that I had built the wall, and that no break was left in it though at that time I had not set up doors on the gates,

gltv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do evil to me.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and come down to you?

gltv@Nehemiah:6:4 @ And they sent to me four times in this way. And I answered them in the same way.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same way the fifth time with an open letter in his hand, in which was written,

gltv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ It is reported among the nations, and Gashmu says, you and the Jews are thinking of rebelling; for which reason you are building the wall, so that you may be a king to them, according to these words.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also set up prophets to preach about you at Jerusalem, saying, A king in Judah! And now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Therefore, come now and let us talk it over together.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ And I sent to him, saying, These things which you are saying are not happening, for you pretend them out of your own heart.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all were alarmers of us, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, and it will not be done. And now, make my hands strong.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ And I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up. And he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, inside the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple. For they will come to kill you. Yea, in the night they will come to kill you.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who being as I am would go into the temple and live? I will not go in.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I understood that, behold, God had not sent him. For he spoke the prophecy against me, and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ So he was hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and I should sin, and become for them for an evil name with which they might reproach me.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ O God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also to the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who are my alarmers.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was restored in the twenty fifth of Elul, on the fifty second day.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it happened when all our enemies heard, and all the nations who were around us saw, they were very much lowered in their own eyes. For they saw that this work was done by our God.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:17 @ And in those days the nobles of Judah were increasing their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came to them.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were sworn to him because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

gltv@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they reported his good deeds before me, and my words were going to him. Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid.

gltv@Nehemiah:7:1 @ And it happened when the wall was built, I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers and the singers and the Levites were chosen.

gltv@Nehemiah:7:2 @ I commanded that my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace be over Jerusalem. For he was as a faithful man and feared God above many.

gltv@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are standing, let them shut and bar the doors. And make stand guards from the people of Jerusalem, each one in his watch, and each one to be across from his house.

gltv@Nehemiah:7:4 @ And the city was wide on both hands, and great, but the people in it few, and the houses not being built.

gltv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, so that they might be counted by genealogy. And I found a register of genealogy of those who came up at the first. And I found written in it:
