strkjv@Joshua:1:1 @ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses minister, saying,

strkjv@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

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

strkjv@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

strkjv@Joshua:1:5 @ There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

strkjv@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

strkjv@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left s@mo#wl#, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

strkjv@Joshua:1:8 @ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make # thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

strkjv@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

strkjv@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites R@#uwbeniy#, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

strkjv@Joshua:1:15 @ Until the LORD have given # your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORDS servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising mizrach#.

strkjv@Joshua:1:17 @ According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

strkjv@Joshua:1:18 @ Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

strkjv@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlots house #H1004, named Rahab, and lodged there.

strkjv@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

strkjv@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

strkjv@Joshua:2:4 @ And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

strkjv@Joshua:2:5 @ And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate sha#ar#, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

strkjv@Joshua:2:6 @ But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

strkjv@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords ma#abar#: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate sha#ar#.

strkjv@Joshua:2:8 @ And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

strkjv@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

strkjv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

strkjv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my fathers house, and give me a true token:

strkjv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

strkjv@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

strkjv@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

strkjv@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers household, home unto thee.

strkjv@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head ro#sh#, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head ro#sh#, if any hand be upon him.

strkjv@Joshua:2:20 @ And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

strkjv@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

strkjv@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

strkjv@Joshua:2:23 @ So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:

strkjv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

strkjv@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel Yisra#el#, and lodged there before they passed over.

strkjv@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

strkjv@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore t@mowl#.

strkjv@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

strkjv@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

strkjv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel Yisra#el#, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

strkjv@Joshua:3:8 @ And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

strkjv@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel Yisra#el#, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

strkjv@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

strkjv@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above ma#al#; and they shall stand upon an heap.

strkjv@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

strkjv@Joshua:3:15 @ And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest, )

strkjv@Joshua:3:16 @ That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

strkjv@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passedclean over Jordan.

strkjv@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

strkjv@Joshua:4:3 @ And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests feet stood firm, twelve sh@nayim# stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.

strkjv@Joshua:4:5 @ And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel Yisra#el#:

strkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?

strkjv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

strkjv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve sh@nayim# stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel Yisra#el#, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

strkjv@Joshua:4:9 @ And Joshua set up twelve sh@nayim# stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

strkjv@Joshua:4:10 @ For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

strkjv@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

strkjv@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben R@#uwben#, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel Yisra#el#, as Moses spake unto them:

strkjv@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty #arba#iym# thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

strkjv@Joshua:4:15 @ And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

strkjv@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

strkjv@Joshua:4:20 @ And those twelve sh@nayim# stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

strkjv@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spake unto the children of Israel Yisra#el#, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

strkjv@Joshua:4:23 @ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

strkjv@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites K@na#aniy#, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel Yisra#el#, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

strkjv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty #arba#iym# years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

strkjv@Joshua:5:8 @ And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

strkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

strkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

strkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

strkjv@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the LORDS host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

strkjv@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

strkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the rams horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout t@ruw#ah#; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

strkjv@Joshua:6:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams horns before the ark of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

strkjv@Joshua:6:11 @ So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once #H259: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

strkjv@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they compassed the city once #H259, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

strkjv@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times pa#am#: only on that day they compassed the city seven times pa#am#.

strkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time pa#am#, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

strkjv@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

strkjv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout t@ruw#ah#, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

strkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlots house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

strkjv@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved # Rahab the harlot alive, and her fathers household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers mal#ak#, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

strkjv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven Beyth, on the east side of Bethel Beyth-#El#, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

strkjv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few m@#at#.

strkjv@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

strkjv@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel Yisra#el#, and put dust upon their heads ro#sh#.

strkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all broughtthis people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

strkjv@Joshua:7:9 @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

strkjv@Joshua:7:10 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

strkjv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

strkjv@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel Yisra#el#, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel Yisra#el#: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

strkjv@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

strkjv@Joshua:7:17 @ And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

strkjv@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel Yisra#el#, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

strkjv@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

strkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers mal#ak#, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

strkjv@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel Yisra#el#, and laid them out before the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep tso#n#, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

strkjv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

strkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

strkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

strkjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

strkjv@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.

strkjv@Joshua:8:5 @ And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first ri#shown#, that we will flee before them,

strkjv@Joshua:8:7 @ Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

strkjv@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

strkjv@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush ma#arab#, and abode between Bethel Beyth-#El# and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

strkjv@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel Yisra#el#, before the people to Ai.

strkjv@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel Beyth-#El# and Ai, on the west side of the city #A.

strkjv@Joshua:8:13 @ And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

strkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed mow#ed#, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.

strkjv@Joshua:8:16 @ And all the people that were in Ai #A were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

strkjv@Joshua:8:18 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

strkjv@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.

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

strkjv@Joshua:8:23 @ And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

strkjv@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

strkjv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

strkjv@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.

strkjv@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide #H6153: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take # his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap#H1530of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

strkjv@Joshua:8:30 @ Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,

strkjv@Joshua:8:31 @ As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel Yisra#el#, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

strkjv@Joshua:8:32 @ And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel Yisra#el#, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before ri#shown#, that they should bless the people of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

strkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite K@na#aniy#, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

strkjv@Joshua:9:2 @ That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel Yisra#el#, with one accord.

strkjv@Joshua:9:3 @ And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

strkjv@Joshua:9:4 @ They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles no#d#, old, and rent, and bound up;

strkjv@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel Yisra#el#, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

strkjv@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

strkjv@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

strkjv@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

strkjv@Joshua:9:10 @ And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

strkjv@Joshua:9:11 @ Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

strkjv@Joshua:9:12 @ This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

strkjv@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

strkjv@Joshua:9:16 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

strkjv@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon Gib#own#, and Chephirah, and Beeroth B@#erowth#, and Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y@#ariym#.

strkjv@Joshua:9:19 @ But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel Yisra#el#: now therefore we may not touch them.

strkjv@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

strkjv@Joshua:9:21 @ And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.

strkjv@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

strkjv@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

strkjv@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

strkjv@Joshua:9:26 @ And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel Yisra#el#, that they slew them not.

strkjv@Joshua:9:27 @ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

strkjv@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek #Adoniy-Tsedeq# king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel Yisra#el#, and were among them;

strkjv@Joshua:10:3 @ Wherefore Adonizedek #Adoniy-Tsedeq# king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

strkjv@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon Gib#own#: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:10:5 @ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon Gib#own#, and made war against it.

strkjv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

strkjv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

strkjv@Joshua:10:9 @ Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly pith#owm#, and went up from Gilgal all night.

strkjv@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD discomfited them before Israel Yisra#el#, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon Gib#own#, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron Beyth, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

strkjv@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel Yisra#el#, and were in the going down to Bethhoron Beyth, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones barad# than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

strkjv@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel Yisra#el#, and he said in the sight of Israel Yisra#el#, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon Gib#own#; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

strkjv@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

strkjv@Joshua:10:19 @ And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

strkjv@Joshua:10:20 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.

strkjv@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave m@#arah#, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

strkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel Yisra#el#, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings.

strkjv@Joshua:10:43 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

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

strkjv@Joshua:11:5 @ And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Joshua:11:6 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel Yisra#el#: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

strkjv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel Yisra#el#, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim Misr@phowth, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

strkjv@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

strkjv@Joshua:11:10 @ And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

strkjv@Joshua:11:11 @ And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

strkjv@Joshua:11:13 @ But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

strkjv@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

strkjv@Joshua:11:16 @ So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel Yisra#el#, and the valley of the same;

strkjv@Joshua:11:17 @ Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir Se#iyr#, even unto Baalgad Ba#alin the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

strkjv@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel Yisra#el#, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon Gib#own#: all other they took in battle.

strkjv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

strkjv@Joshua:12:1 @ Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

strkjv@Joshua:12:6 @ Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites R@#uwbeniy#, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

strkjv@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad Ba#alin the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir Se#iyr#; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

strkjv@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

strkjv@Joshua:13:4 @ From the south, all the land of the Canaanites K@na#aniy#, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:

strkjv@Joshua:13:5 @ And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising mizrach#, from Baalgad Ba#alunder mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

strkjv@Joshua:13:6 @ All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim Misr@phowth, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel Yisra#el#: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

strkjv@Joshua:13:11 @ And Gilead Gil#ad#, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites Ma#akathiy#, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

strkjv@Joshua:13:14 @ Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrificesof the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

strkjv@Joshua:13:15 @ And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.

strkjv@Joshua:13:24 @ And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.

strkjv@Joshua:13:25 @ And their coast was Jazer Ya#azeyr#, and all the cities of Gilead Gil#ad#, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer #Arow#er# that is before Rabbah;

strkjv@Joshua:13:29 @ And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.

strkjv@Judges:21:12 @ And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead Yabesh# four hundred yung virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan K@na#an#.

strkjv@Judges:21:13 @ And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.

strkjv@Judges:21:18 @ Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

strkjv@Judges:21:19 @ Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly yowm# in a place which is on the north side of Bethel Beyth-#El#, on the east side mizrach# of the highway that goeth up from Bethel Beyth-#El# to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

strkjv@Judges:21:21 @ And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

strkjv@Judges:21:22 @ And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.

strkjv@Judges:21:23 @ And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.

strkjv@Judges:21:24 @ And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

strkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah Beyth Lechem# went to sojourn in the country of Moab Mow#ab#, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

strkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi No#omiy#, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah Beyth Lechem#. And they came into the country of Moab Mow#ab#, and continued there.

strkjv@Ruth:1:4 @ And they took them wives of the women of Moab Mow#abiy#; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.

strkjv@Ruth:1:7 @ Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.

strkjv@Ruth:1:8 @ And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mothers house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.

strkjv@Ruth:1:10 @ And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.

strkjv@Ruth:1:12 @ Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;

strkjv@Ruth:1:14 @ And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.

strkjv@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

strkjv@Ruth:1:16 @ And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:

strkjv@Ruth:1:17 @ Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.

strkjv@Ruth:1:18 @ When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.

strkjv@Ruth:1:19 @ So they two went until they came to Bethlehem Beyth. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem Beyth, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi No#omiy#?

strkjv@Ruth:1:20 @ And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi No#omiy#, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

strkjv@Ruth:1:22 @ So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess Mow#abiy#, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab Mow#ab#: and they came to Bethlehem Beythin the beginning of barley harvest.

strkjv@Ruth:2:2 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi No#omiy#, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

strkjv@Ruth:2:3 @ And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz Bo#az#, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

strkjv@Ruth:2:4 @ And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem Beyth, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

strkjv@Ruth:2:5 @ Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

strkjv@Ruth:2:8 @ Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens na#arah#:

strkjv@Ruth:2:9 @ Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

strkjv@Ruth:2:10 @ Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

strkjv@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore t@mowl#.

strkjv@Ruth:2:12 @ The LORD recompense thy work po#al#, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel Yisra#el#, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

strkjv@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

strkjv@Ruth:2:14 @ And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime #H400come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

strkjv@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men na#ar#, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

strkjv@Ruth:2:18 @ And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

strkjv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The mans name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz Bo#az#.

strkjv@Ruth:2:20 @ And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

strkjv@Ruth:2:21 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men na#ar#, until they have ended all my harvest.

strkjv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens na#arah#, that they meet thee not in any other field.

strkjv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.

strkjv@Ruth:3:1 @ Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

strkjv@Ruth:3:2 @ And now is not Boaz of our kindred mowda#ath#, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

strkjv@Ruth:3:3 @ Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.

strkjv@Ruth:3:5 @ And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.

strkjv@Ruth:3:6 @ And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

strkjv@Ruth:3:7 @ And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.

strkjv@Ruth:3:8 @ And it came to pass at midnight chetsiy#, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

strkjv@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

strkjv@Ruth:3:13 @ Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsmans part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

strkjv@Ruth:3:14 @ And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.

strkjv@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley s@#orah#, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

strkjv@Ruth:3:16 @ And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

strkjv@Ruth:3:17 @ And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.

strkjv@Ruth:4:1 @ Then wentBoaz up to the gate sha#ar#, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

strkjv@Ruth:4:2 @ And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

strkjv@Ruth:4:3 @ And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi No#omiy#, that is come again out of the country of Moab Mow#ab#, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelechs:

strkjv@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

strkjv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then said Boaz Bo#az#, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi No#omiy#, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess Mow#abiy#, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

strkjv@Ruth:4:6 @ And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.

strkjv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe na#al#, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz Bo#az#, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe na#al#.

strkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelechs, and all that was Chilions and Mahlons, of the hand of Naomi No#omiy#.

strkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover Ruth the Moabitess Mow#abiy#, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

strkjv@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people that were in the gate sha#ar#, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah Le#ah#, which two did build the house of Israel Yisra#el#: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem Beyth:

strkjv@Ruth:4:12 @ And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman na#arah#.

strkjv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

strkjv@Ruth:4:14 @ And the women said unto Naomi No#omiy#, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Ruth:4:15 @ And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.

strkjv@Ruth:4:16 @ And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

strkjv@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi No#omiy#; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

strkjv@Ruth:4:18 @ Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

strkjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim Ramathayim Tsow-phiym#, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

strkjv@1Samuel:1:3 @ And this man went up out of his city yearly yowm# to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:

strkjv@1Samuel:1:5 @ But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her adversary also provoked her sore ka#ac#, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:7 @ And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:8 @ Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

strkjv@1Samuel:1:10 @ And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head ro#sh#.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:12 @ And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:14 @ And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:16 @ Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial b@liya#al#: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ And they rose up # in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel Sh@muw#el#, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:21 @ And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:23 @ And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:24 @ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young na#ar#.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:25 @ And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

strkjv@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:6 @ The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave sh@#owl#, and bringeth up.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORDS, and he hath set the world upon them.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:10 @ The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:11 @ And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the priests custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priests servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;

strkjv@1Samuel:2:14 @ And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Also before they burnt the fat, the priests servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:19 @ Moreover his mother made him a little coat m@#iyl#, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel Yisra#el#; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow#ed#.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:23 @ And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:24 @ Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORDS people to transgress.

strkjv@1Samuel:2:25 @ If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.

strkjv@1Samuel:3:1 @ And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.

strkjv@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said unto Samuel Sh@muw#el#, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

strkjv@1Samuel:13:10 @ And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.

strkjv@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed mow#ed#, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;

strkjv@1Samuel:13:12 @ Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

strkjv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul Sha#uwl#, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.

strkjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

strkjv@1Samuel:14:32 @ And the people flew # upon the spoil, and took sheep tso#n#, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:10 @ Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel Sh@muw#el#, saying,

strkjv@1Samuel:15:11 @ It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel Sh@muw#el#; and he cried unto the LORD all night.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said unto Samuel Sh@muw#el#, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:21 @ But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:24 @ And Saul said unto Samuel Sh@muw#el#, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said unto Saul Sha#uwl#, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle m@#iyl#, and it rent.

strkjv@1Samuel:18:23 @ And Sauls servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a kings son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

strkjv@1Samuel:18:24 @ And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.

strkjv@1Samuel:18:25 @ And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the kings enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

strkjv@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:

strkjv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

strkjv@1Kings:9:16 @ For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomons wife.

strkjv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaohs daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.

strkjv@1Kings:9:25 @ And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

strkjv@1Kings:9:28 @ And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.

strkjv@1Kings:10:1 @ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.

strkjv@1Kings:10:11 @ And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.

strkjv@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the kings house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.

strkjv@1Kings:10:13 @ And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:4 @ And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen #H7273: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:5 @ And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:7 @ And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer Hadar#ezer#, and brought them to Jerusalem.

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:9 @ Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:10 @ He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer Hadar#ezer#, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war #H4421with Tou To#uw#; ) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.

strkjv@1Chronicles:18:11 @ Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab Mow#ab#, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:1 @ Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:4 @ Wherefore Hanun took Davids servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks miphsa#ah#, and sent them away.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jerichountil your beards be grown, and then return.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:6 @ And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia #Aram, and out of Syriamaachah #H4601 Ma#akah#, and out of Zobah.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:11 @ And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:12 @ And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:13 @ Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:14 @ So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:15 @ And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:16 @ And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel Yisra#el#, they sent messengers mal#ak#, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:17 @ And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel Yisra#el#, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

strkjv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel Yisra#el#, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took the crown of their king from off his head ro#sh#, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon Davids head ro#sh#: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:3 @ And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:4 @ And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:6 @ And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.

strkjv@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:1 @ And Satan stood up against Israel Yisra#el#, and provoked David to number Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:2 @ And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba B@#ereven to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lords servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel Yisra#el#?

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the kings word prevailed against Joab Yow#ab#. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel Yisra#el#, and came to Jerusalem.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the kings word was abominable to Joab Yow#ab#.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:8 @ And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly m@#od#, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:9 @ And the LORD spake unto Gad, Davids seer, saying,

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:10 @ Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:12 @ Either three years famine ra#ab#; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel Yisra#el#. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep tso#n#, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my fathers house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:24 @ And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:27 @ And the LORD commanded the angel mal#ak#; and he put up # his sword again into the sheath thereof.

strkjv@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:2 @ And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel Yisra#el#; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:4 @ Also cedar trees in abundance #H4557: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:5 @ And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:7 @ And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:8 @ But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:12 @ Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel Yisra#el#, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel Yisra#el#: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:14 @ Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:15 @ Moreover there are workmen # with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work m@la#kah#.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:18 @ Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.

strkjv@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.

strkjv@1Chronicles:23:2 @ And he gathered together all the princes of Israel Yisra#el#, with the priests and the Levites.

strkjv@1Chronicles:23:4 @ Of which #el-leh#, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

strkjv@1Chronicles:23:5 @ Moreover four thousand were porters show#er#; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

strkjv@1Chronicles:23:6 @ And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

strkjv@1Chronicles:23:11 @ And Jahath was the chief ro#sh#, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their fathers house.

strkjv@2Chronicles:14:5 @ Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

strkjv@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

strkjv@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

strkjv@Ezra:7:28 @ And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the kings mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

strkjv@Ezra:8:15 @ And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.

strkjv@Ezra:8:17 @ And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims N, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.

strkjv@Ezra:8:18 @ And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel Yisra#el#; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen sh@moneh#;

strkjv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.

strkjv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

strkjv@Ezra:8:25 @ And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:

strkjv@Ezra:8:26 @ I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;

strkjv@Ezra:8:27 @ Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine towb# copper, precious as gold.

strkjv@Ezra:8:28 @ And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.

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

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

strkjv@Ezra:8:35 @ Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel Yisra#el#, twelve sh@nayim# bullocks for all Israel Yisra#el#, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve sh@nayim# he goats for a sin offering chatta#ah#: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.

strkjv@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the kings commissions unto the kings lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.

strkjv@Ezra:9:1 @ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel Yisra#el#, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations tow#ebah#, even of the Canaanites K@na#aniy#, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites Mow#abiy#, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

strkjv@Ezra:9:3 @ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle m@#iyl#, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.

strkjv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel Yisra#el#, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.

strkjv@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness ta#aniyth#; and having rent my garment and my mantle m@#iyl#, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,

strkjv@Ezra:9:6 @ And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head ro#sh#, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.

strkjv@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

strkjv@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

strkjv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.

strkjv@Ezra:9:11 @ Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations tow#ebah#, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness tum#ah#.

strkjv@Ezra:9:12 @ Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

strkjv@Ezra:9:14 @ Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations tow#ebah#? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?

strkjv@Ezra:10:1 @ Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.

strkjv@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel Y@chiy#el#, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

strkjv@Ezra:10:3 @ Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

strkjv@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.

strkjv@Ezra:10:5 @ Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel Yisra#el#, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.

strkjv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

strkjv@Ezra:10:7 @ And they made proclamation # throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

strkjv@Ezra:10:8 @ And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

strkjv@Ezra:10:9 @ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.

strkjv@Ezra:10:10 @ And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.

strkjv@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.

strkjv@Ezra:10:16 @ And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

strkjv@Nehemiah:1:1 @ The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,

strkjv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

strkjv@Nehemiah:1:4 @ And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,

strkjv@Nehemiah:1:9 @ But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

strkjv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the kings cupbearer.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:3 @ And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers sepulchres, that I may build it.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him, ) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:7 @ Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:8 @ And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the kings forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:9 @ Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the kings letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly ra# that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel Yisra#el#.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well # #Eyn, and to the dung port sha#ar#, and viewed (8675) the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the kings pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:16 @ And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work m@la#kah#.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the kings words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

strkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

strkjv@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate sha#ar#; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel Chanan#el#.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:1 @ But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder # it.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:9 @ Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:10 @ And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times pa#am#, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought # their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work m@la#kah#.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work m@la#kah#, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

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

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:20 @ In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.

strkjv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power #H3027to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:7 @ Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact (8678) (8675) usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve sh@nayim# years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty #arba#iym# shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work m@la#kah#.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty chamishshiym# of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.

strkjv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep tso#n#; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.

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

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though gam# at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates sha#ar#; )

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:4 @ Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:6 @ Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent unto him, saying, There are # no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.

strkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel M@heytab#el#, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.

strkjv@Esther:2:7 @ And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair yapheh# and beautiful towb# mar#eh#; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

strkjv@Esther:2:8 @ So it came to pass, when the kings commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the kings house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

strkjv@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens na#arah#, which were meet to be given her, out of the kings house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

strkjv@Esther:2:11 @ And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the womens house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.

strkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Now when every maids turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve sh@nayim# months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women; )

strkjv@Esther:2:13 @ Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the kings house.

strkjv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz Sha#ashgaz#, the kings chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.

strkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the kings chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

strkjv@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

strkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esthers feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts mas#eth#, according to the state of the king.

strkjv@Esther:2:19 @ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the kings gate sha#ar#.

strkjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat in the kings gate sha#ar#, two of the kings chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

strkjv@Esther:2:22 @ And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecais name.

strkjv@Esther:3:3 @ Then the kings servants, which were in the kings gate sha#ar#, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the kings commandment?

strkjv@Esther:3:4 @ Now it came to pass, when they spake daily yowm# unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecais matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

strkjv@Esther:3:6 @ And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

strkjv@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth sh@nayim# year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth sh@nayim# month, that is, the month Adar.

strkjv@Esther:3:8 @ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the kings laws: therefore it is not for the kings profit to suffer them.

strkjv@Esther:3:9 @ If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business m@la#kah#, to bring it into the kings treasuries.

strkjv@Esther:3:10 @ And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews enemy.

strkjv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.

strkjv@Esther:3:12 @ Then were the kings scribes called on the thirteenth shalowsh# day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the kings lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the kings ring tabba#ath#.

strkjv@Esther:3:13 @ And the letters were sent by posts into all the kings provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth shalowsh# day of the twelfth sh@nayim# month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

strkjv@Esther:3:14 @ The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.

strkjv@Esther:3:15 @ The posts went out, being hastened by the kings commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.

strkjv@Esther:4:1 @ When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry za#aq#;

strkjv@Esther:4:2 @ And came even before the kings gate sha#ar#: for none might enter into the kings gate clothed with sackcloth.

strkjv@Esther:4:4 @ So Esthers maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

strkjv@Esther:4:5 @ Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the kings chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

strkjv@Esther:4:6 @ So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the kings gate sha#ar#.

strkjv@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the kings treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

strkjv@Esther:4:8 @ Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.

strkjv@Esther:4:9 @ And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

strkjv@Esther:4:10 @ Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;

strkjv@Esther:4:11 @ All the kings servants, and the people of the kings provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

strkjv@Esther:4:12 @ And they told to Mordecai Esthers words.

strkjv@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the kings house, more than all the Jews.

strkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy fathers house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

strkjv@Esther:4:16 @ Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

strkjv@Esther:4:17 @ So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

strkjv@Esther:5:1 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the kings house, over against the kings house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

strkjv@Esther:5:2 @ And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

strkjv@Esther:5:3 @ Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

strkjv@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

strkjv@Esther:5:5 @ Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

strkjv@Esther:5:6 @ And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition sh@#elah#? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

strkjv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition sh@#elah#, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

strkjv@Esther:5:9 @ Then went # Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the kings gate sha#ar#, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

strkjv@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

strkjv@Esther:5:12 @ Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

strkjv@Esther:5:14 @ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he causedthe gallows to be made.

strkjv@Esther:6:1 @ On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles dabar#; and they were read before the king.

strkjv@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the kings chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

strkjv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the kings servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.

strkjv@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the kings house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

strkjv@Esther:6:5 @ And the kings servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

strkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?

strkjv@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

strkjv@Esther:6:8 @ Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head ro#sh#:

strkjv@Esther:6:9 @ And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the kings most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

strkjv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the kings gate sha#ar#: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

strkjv@Esther:6:11 @ Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

strkjv@Esther:6:12 @ And Mordecai came again to the kings gate sha#ar#. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

strkjv@Esther:6:13 @ And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.

strkjv@Esther:6:14 @ And while they were yet talking with him, came the kings chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

strkjv@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

strkjv@Esther:7:2 @ And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition sh@#elah#, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

strkjv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition sh@#elah#, and my people at my request:

strkjv@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the kings damage.

strkjv@Esther:7:5 @ Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

strkjv@Esther:7:7 @ And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

strkjv@Esther:7:8 @ Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the kings mouth, they covered Hamans face.

strkjv@Esther:7:9 @ And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

strkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

strkjv@Esther:8:2 @ And the king took off his ring tabba#ath#, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

strkjv@Esther:8:3 @ And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

strkjv@Esther:8:4 @ Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,

strkjv@Esther:8:5 @ And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the kings provinces:

strkjv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

strkjv@Esther:8:7 @ Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

strkjv@Esther:8:8 @ Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the kings name, and seal it with the kings ring tabba#ath#: for the writing which is written in the kings name, and sealed with the kings ring tabba#ath#, may no man reverse.

strkjv@Esther:8:9 @ Then were the kings scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

strkjv@Esther:8:11 @ Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

strkjv@Esther:8:13 @ The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready # against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

strkjv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the kings commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.

strkjv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth sh@nayim# month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth shalowsh# day of the same, when the kings commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

strkjv@Esther:9:2 @ The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

strkjv@Esther:9:5 @ Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.

strkjv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the kings provinces? now what is thy petition sh@#elah#? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

strkjv@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this days decree, and let Hamans ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

strkjv@Esther:9:14 @ And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Hamans ten sons.

strkjv@Esther:9:15 @ For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth #H6240day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.

strkjv@Esther:9:16 @ But the other Jews that were in the kings provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

strkjv@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth shalowsh# day thereof, and on the fourteenth #H6240thereof; and on the fifteenth chamesh# day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

strkjv@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth #H6240day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

strkjv@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

strkjv@Esther:9:21 @ To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth #H6240day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth chamesh# day of the same, yearly shaneh#,

strkjv@Esther:9:23 @ And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

strkjv@Esther:9:24 @ Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
