lesserot@Joshua:1:1 @ And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, saying,

lesserot@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.

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

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

lesserot@Joshua:1:16 @ And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us will we do, and whithersoever thou wilt send us will we go.

lesserot@Joshua:1:18 @ Every man that doth rebel against thy order, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou mayest command him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

lesserot@Joshua:2:5 @ And it came to pass, about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; I know not whither the men are gone: pursue quickly after them, for ye can overtake them.

lesserot@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said unto them, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are become faint–hearted, because of you.

lesserot@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard, how that the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you, when ye went forth out of Egypt; and what ye have done unto the two kings of the Emorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, unto Sichon and ‘Og, whom ye have utterly destroyed.

lesserot@Joshua:2:12 @ And now swear, I pray you, unto me by the Lord, because I have shown you kindness, that ye will also, for your part, show kindness, unto my father’s house; and give me a sure token,

lesserot@Joshua:2:13 @ That ye will preserve the life of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

lesserot@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said unto her, Our life shall be to death instead of yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the Lord giveth us the land, that we will show thee kindness and truth.

lesserot@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, that whosoever will go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever will remain with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if a hand be laid upon him.

lesserot@Joshua:2:23 @ And the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him all the things that had befallen them.

lesserot@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers passed through the midst of the camp.

lesserot@Joshua:3:4 @ Nevertheless there shall be a space between you and it, of about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, in order that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

lesserot@Joshua:3:7 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.

lesserot@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 waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.

lesserot@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living God is in the midst of you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Jebusites.

lesserot@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, that 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 the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, namely, the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand up as a wall.

lesserot@Joshua:3:15 @ And as they that bore the ark were come up to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the edge of the water,

lesserot@Joshua:3:16 @ That the waters which came down from above stood still and rose up as a wall, very far from the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan; and those that ran down toward the sea of the plain, the salt sea, failed, were cut off; and the people passed over opposite to Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished passing over the Jordan.

lesserot@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over the Jordan, That the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,

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

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

lesserot@Joshua:4:10 @ But the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hastened and passed over.

lesserot@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over, that the ark of the Lord passed over with the priests in the presence of the people.

lesserot@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

lesserot@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

lesserot@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all its banks, as on the preceding days.

lesserot@Joshua:4:23 @ That the Lord your God dried up the waters of the 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;

lesserot@Joshua:4:24 @ In order that all the nations of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty; in order that ye may fear the Lord your God all the days.

lesserot@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, and there remained no more any courage in them, because of the children of Israel.

lesserot@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.

lesserot@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after their going forth out of Egypt.

lesserot@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

lesserot@Joshua:5:6 @ For during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

lesserot@Joshua:5:8 @ And it came to pass, when the whole people had all been circumcised, that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed.

lesserot@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land; and the children of Israel had not any more manna; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during that year.

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

lesserot@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that, when they blow a long blast with the ram’s horn, when ye hear the sound of the cornet all the people shall utter a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

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

lesserot@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests that blew the cornets, and the rereward came after the ark, going on, and blowing with the cornets.

lesserot@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 this manner seven times; only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

lesserot@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priest blew with the cornets, that Joshua’ said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.

lesserot@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be devoted, it, and all that is therein, to the Lord: only Rachab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house; because she did hide the messengers that we sent.

lesserot@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, when they blew with the cornets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the cornet, that the people uttered a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, and the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.

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

lesserot@Joshua:6:22 @ But unto the two men that had spied out the country, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all belonging to her, as ye have sworn unto her.

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

lesserot@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua adjured at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that will rise up and build this city Jericho: with his first–born shall he lay its foundation, and with his youngest shall he set up its gates.

lesserot@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Eternal, wherefore hast thou caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us? and oh! that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

lesserot@Joshua:7:14 @ And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord will seize shall come near according to its families; and the family which the Lord will seize shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord shall seize will come near by its men.

lesserot@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be, that he that is seized with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he, and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua took ‘Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto the valley of ‘Achor.

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

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

lesserot@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, that as soon as ye have seized the city, ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the Lord shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.

lesserot@Joshua:8:9 @ And Joshua sent them off: and they went to lie in ambush, and remained between Beth–el and ‘Ai, on the west side of ‘Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

lesserot@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew nigh, and came opposite the city, and encamped on the north side of ‘Ai; and the valley was between them and ‘Ai.

lesserot@Joshua:8:13 @ And the people, all the camp that was on the north of the city, and its ambush on the west of the city got ready; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

lesserot@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass, when the king of ‘Ai saw this, the men of the city hastened and rose up early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him in the rear of the city.

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

lesserot@Joshua:8:17 @ And there was not a man left in ‘Ai or Beth–el, that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:8:18 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward ‘Ai; for into thy hand will I give it. And Joshua stretched out the spear which was in his hand toward the city.

lesserot@Joshua:8:20 @ And the men of ‘Ai turned behind them, and 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 had fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

lesserot@Joshua:8:21 @ For when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had seized the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended: they turned back, and smote the men of ‘Ai.

lesserot@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others issued out of the city against them; so that the Israelites had them in the middle, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until there was not left of them one that remained or escaped.

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

lesserot@Joshua:8:25 @ And all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, all the people of ‘Ai.

lesserot@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had commanded Joshua.

lesserot@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, and their elders, and the officers, and their judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark, opposite the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the stranger no less than the native born: half of them turned toward mount Gerizzim, and the other half of them turned toward mount ‘Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded, to bless the people of Israel at first.

lesserot@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the stranger that walked in the midst of them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,

lesserot@Joshua:9:2 @ That they assembled themselves all together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

lesserot@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him, From a very far–off country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done in Egypt;

lesserot@Joshua:9:10 @ And all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to ‘Og the king of Bashan, who was at ‘Ashtaroth.

lesserot@Joshua:9:16 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:20 @ This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.

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

lesserot@Joshua:9:27 @ And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.

lesserot@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Adoni–zedek, the king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured ‘Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so had he done to ‘Ai and its king; and that the inhabitants of Gib’on had made peace with Israel, and were in the midst of them:

lesserot@Joshua:10:2 @ That they were greatly afraid; because Gib’on was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than ‘Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

lesserot@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gib’on; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gib’on sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Do not withdraw thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Emorites that dwell in the mountains are assembled together against us.

lesserot@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were in the declivity of Beth–choron, that the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, up to ‘Azekah, and they died: there were more who died by means of the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.

lesserot@Joshua:10:14 @ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:10:20 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great defeat, till they were all spent, and those that escaped had fled from them and entered into the fortified cities,

lesserot@Joshua:10:21 @ That all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: no one pointed against any man of the children of Israel his tongue.

lesserot@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, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon their necks.

lesserot@Joshua:10:27 @ And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hidden; and they placed great stones upon the mouth of the cave, even until this very day.

lesserot@Joshua:10:28 @ And Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he devoted, them, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:10:30 @ And the Lord delivered it also into the hand of Israel, with its king; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none in it that escaped; and he did unto its king as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:10:32 @ And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein: just as he had done to Libnah.

lesserot@Joshua:10:33 @ Then came up Horam the king of Gezer to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none that escaped.

lesserot@Joshua:10:35 @ And they captured it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he devoted on that day: just as he had done to Lachish.

lesserot@Joshua:10:37 @ And they captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped, just as he had done to ‘Eglon; and he devoted it, and all the souls that were therein.

lesserot@Joshua:10:39 @ And he captured it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped: as he had done to Hebron, so did he to Debir and to its king; and as he had done to Libnah and to its king.

lesserot@Joshua:10:40 @ And Joshua smote all the country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowlands, and the declivities, and all their kings; he left none that escaped; and all that breathed he utterly destroyed, as the Lord, the God of Israel had commanded.

lesserot@Joshua:11:1 @ And it came to pass, that, when Yabin the king of Chazor heard these things, he sent to Yobab the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

lesserot@Joshua:11:2 @ And to the kings that were at the north, on the mountains, and in the plains, south of Kinneroth, and in the lowlands, and in the district of Dor on the west,

lesserot@Joshua:11:4 @ And they went out, they and all their camps with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea–shore in multitude, and with very many horses and chariots.

lesserot@Joshua:11:8 @ And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and pursued them unto great Zidon, and unto Missrephoth–mayim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none that escaped.

lesserot@Joshua:11:10 @ And Joshua at that time turned back, and captured Chazor, and its kings he smote with the sword; for Chazor aforetimes was the head of all these kingdoms.

lesserot@Joshua:11:11 @ And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, and devoted them; there was not left any one having breath; and Chazor he burnt with fire.

lesserot@Joshua:11:13 @ But as for the cities that had been left standing in their strength, these did Israel not burn: save Chazor only did Joshua burn.

lesserot@Joshua:11:15 @ As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

lesserot@Joshua:11:16 @ And Joshua took all that land, the mountain, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowlands, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and its lowlands;

lesserot@Joshua:11:17 @ From the bald mountain that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Chermon; and all their kings he captured, and smote them, and slew them.

lesserot@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gib’on: the whole they took by war.

lesserot@Joshua:11:20 @ For of the Lord it was to harden their heart, that they should come against Israel in battle, in order to destroy them utterly, that they might obtain no favor: but in order that he might exterminate them, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

lesserot@Joshua:11:21 @ And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the ‘Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from ‘Anab, and from the whole mountain of Judah, and from the whole mountain of Israel: with their cities did Joshua destroy them utterly.

lesserot@Joshua:12:4 @ And the territory of ‘Og the king of Bashan, who was of the remnant of the Rephaim, that dwelt at ‘Ashtaroth and at Edre’i,

lesserot@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side of the Jordan on the west, from Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon as far as the bald mountain, that goeth up to Seir; and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession, according to their divisions;

lesserot@Joshua:13:2 @ This is the land that yet remaineth: All the circles of the Philistines, and all Geshurites,

lesserot@Joshua:13:4 @ On the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Me’arah that belongeth to the Zidonians, up to Aphek, up to the border of the Emorites;

lesserot@Joshua:13:9 @ From ‘Aro’er, that is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain of Medeba up to Dibon;

lesserot@Joshua:13:16 @ And their territory was from ‘Aro’er, that is on the bank of the brook Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the brook, and all the plain by Medeba;

lesserot@Joshua:13:19 @ And Kiryathayim, and Sibmah, and Zereth–hashachar on the mount of the valley,

lesserot@Joshua:13:25 @ And their territory was Ya’zer, and all the cities of Gil’ad, and half the land of the children of ‘Ammon, up to ‘Aro’er that is before Rabbah;

lesserot@Joshua:14:9 @ And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy foot hath trodden shall belong to thee for an inheritance, and to thy children for ever; because thou hast wholly followed the Lord my God.

lesserot@Joshua:14:11 @ I am yet this day as strong as I was on the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, and to go out, and to come in.

lesserot@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spoke on that day; for thou didst hear on that day that the ‘Anakim were there, and great fortified cities: perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the Lord hath spoken.

lesserot@Joshua:14:14 @ Therefore did Hebron become the inheritance of Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; for the cause that he had wholly followed the Lord the God of Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:14:15 @ And the name of Hebron was aforetimes Kiryatharba’, who was the greatest man among the ‘Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

lesserot@Joshua:15:2 @ And their southern boundary was from the end of the salt sea, from the bay that bendeth southward:

lesserot@Joshua:15:7 @ And the boundary went up toward Debir from the Valley of ‘Achor, and at the north it bent toward Gilgal, that is opposite the heights of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley; and the boundary passed toward the waters of ‘En–shemesh, and its terminations were at En–rogel;

lesserot@Joshua:15:8 @ And the boundary went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite, the same is Jerusalem; and the boundary went up to the top of the mount that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward;

lesserot@Joshua:15:16 @ And Caleb said, He that will smite Kiryath–sepher, and capture it, to him will I give ‘Achsah my daughter for wife.

lesserot@Joshua:15:18 @ And it came to pass, as she came thither, that she persuaded him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What aileth thee?

lesserot@Joshua:15:46 @ From ‘Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay alongside of Ashdod, with their villages.

lesserot@Joshua:16:1 @ And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Beth–el,

lesserot@Joshua:16:6 @ And the boundary went out toward the sea to Michmethath on the north; and the boundary fetched a compass eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Yanochah;

lesserot@Joshua:16:10 @ And they drove not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt among the Ephraimites until this day, and became tributary servants.

lesserot@Joshua:17:7 @ And the boundary of Menasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lieth before Shechem; and the boundary went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of ‘En–tappuach.

lesserot@Judges:6:21 @ Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight.

lesserot@Judges:6:22 @ And when Gid’on perceived that it was an angel of the Lord, Gid’on said, Alas, O Lord Eternal! because I have surely seen an angel of the Lord face to face.

lesserot@Judges:6:25 @ And it came to pass in the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, and the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal which belongeth to thy father, and the grove that is around it shalt thou cut down.

lesserot@Judges:6:27 @ And Gid’on took ten men of his servants, and did as the Lord had spoken unto him; but it came to pass, because he feared his father’s household, and the men of the city, to do it by day, that he did it by night.

lesserot@Judges:6:28 @ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was overthrown, and the grove that was around it was cut down, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar which had been built.

lesserot@Judges:6:30 @ Thereupon said the men of the city unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die; because he hath overthrown the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was around it.

lesserot@Judges:6:31 @ But Joash said unto all that stood around him, Will ye indeed contend for Baal? will ye assist him? he that will contend for him, shall be put to death; until morning: if he be a god, let him contend for himself, because one hath overthrown his altar.

lesserot@Judges:6:32 @ And the people called him on that day Yerubba’al, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he hath overthrown his altar.

lesserot@Judges:6:37 @ Behold, I set up this fleece of wool in the threshing floor: if now there be dew on the fleece alone, and it be dry upon all the ground, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast spoken.

lesserot@Judges:6:40 @ And God did so that night; and it was dry upon the fleece alone, and on all the ground there was dew.

lesserot@Judges:7:1 @ Then Yerubba’al, who is Gid’on, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and encamped beside the spring of Charod; and the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.

lesserot@Judges:7:2 @ And the Lord said unto Gid’on, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand: lest Israel should vaunt themselves against me, saying, my own hand hath saved me.

lesserot@Judges:7:4 @ And the Lord said unto Gid’on, The people are yet too many; let them go down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I will say unto thee, This one shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee: and of whomsoever I will say unto thee, This one shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

lesserot@Judges:7:5 @ So he caused the people to go down unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gid’on, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as the dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that bendeth down upon his knees to drink.

lesserot@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people bent down upon their knees to drink water.

lesserot@Judges:7:7 @ And the Lord said unto Gid’on, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

lesserot@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass, during the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down into the camp; for I have delivered it into thy hand.

lesserot@Judges:7:11 @ And thou shalt hear what they will say; and after that shall thy hands be strengthened, and thou wilt go down unto the camp. And he went down with Purah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the camp.

lesserot@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gid’on was come, behold, a man was telling a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream, and, lo, a baked cake of barley bread was rolling round through the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and struck against it so that it fell, and it turned it bottom upward, and the tent thus tumbled down.

lesserot@Judges:7:15 @ And it was, when Gid’on heard the narration of the dream, and its interpretation, that he prostrated himself, and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the camp of Midian.

lesserot@Judges:7:17 @ And he said unto them, What you see me do, do ye likewise; and, behold, when I am come to the edge of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

lesserot@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow the cornet, I and all that are with me, then shall ye blow the cornets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For the Lord, and for Gid’on.

lesserot@Judges:7:19 @ And Gid’on, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the edge of the camp in the bcginning of the middle watch; when they had but newly set the sentinels: and they blew the cornets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hand.

lesserot@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said unto him, What is this thing that thou hast done unto us, not to call for us, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they quarrelled with him vehemently.

lesserot@Judges:8:2 @ And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison with you? Is not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abi’ezer?

lesserot@Judges:8:4 @ And Gid’on came to the Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, and in pursuit.

lesserot@Judges:8:5 @ And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, a few loaves of bread unto the people that are in my train; for they are faint, and I am pursuing after Zebach and Zalmunna,’ the kings of Midian.

lesserot@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna’ now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy army bread?

lesserot@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebach and Zalmunna’ were in Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that had been left of all the camp of the children of the east; but those who had fallen were one hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.

lesserot@Judges:8:11 @ And Gid’on went up by the way of those that dwelt in tents, to the east of Nobach and Yogbehah, and smote the camp; but the camp thought itself secure.

lesserot@Judges:8:15 @ And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna’, with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna’ now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?

lesserot@Judges:8:18 @ And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna’, What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.

lesserot@Judges:8:21 @ Then said Zebach and Zalmunna’, Rise thou, and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gid’on arose, and slew Zebach and Zalmunna’; and he took away the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

lesserot@Judges:8:24 @ And Gid’on said unto them, I would ask one request of you, that ye should give me every man the earring of his booty; for they had had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

lesserot@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he had requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides the crescent ornaments, and ear–drops, and purple garments that were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels’ necks.

lesserot@Judges:8:28 @ And Midian was humbled before the children of Israel, so that they lifted not up their head any more. And the country was quiet forty years in the days of Gid’on.

lesserot@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bore him a son, and he gave him the name, Abimelech.

lesserot@Judges:8:33 @ And it came to pass, when Gid’on was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went astray after the Be’alim, and made themselves Ba’al–berith for a god.

lesserot@Judges:9:5 @ And he came unto his father’s house at ‘Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Yeruhba’al, seventy persons, upon one stone; and there was yet left Yotham the youngest son of Yerubba’al; for he had hidden himself.

lesserot@Judges:9:33 @ And it shall be, in the morning, the moment the sun shineth, that thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city; and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to him as thy means may let thee.

lesserot@Judges:9:34 @ And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.

lesserot@Judges:9:35 @ And Ga’al the son of ‘Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the city–gate: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the ambush.

lesserot@Judges:9:38 @ Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him! is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight with them.

lesserot@Judges:9:41 @ And Abimelech remained at Arumah: and Zebul banished Ga’al and his brothers, that they should not remain in Shechem.

lesserot@Judges:9:42 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and it was told to Abimelech.

lesserot@Judges:9:43 @ And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; and as he saw, and, behold, that the people were coming forth out of the city, he rose up against them, and smote them.

lesserot@Judges:9:44 @ And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, spread forward, and took position in the entrance of the city–gate: and the two other companies spread over all that were in the fields, and smote them.

lesserot@Judges:9:45 @ And Ahimelech fought against the city all that day; and he captured the city, and the people that were therein he slew; and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.

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

lesserot@Judges:9:48 @ And Abimelech went thereupon up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from a tree, and bore it, and laid it on his shoulder; and he said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen that I have done, make haste, and do like me.

lesserot@Judges:9:54 @ Then called he hastily unto the young man that bore his armor, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that people may not say of me, A woman hath slain him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

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

lesserot@Judges:9:57 @ And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God bring back upon their own head; and there came upon them the curse of Yotham the son of Yerubba’al.

lesserot@Judges:10:4 @ And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass–colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Chavvoth–yair unto this day, which are in the land of Gil’ad.

lesserot@Judges:10:8 @ And they afflicted and oppressed the children of Israel that year; for eighteen years all the children of Israel that were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Emorites, which is in Gil’ad.

lesserot@Judges:10:9 @ And the children of ‘Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sorely distressed.

lesserot@Judges:10:18 @ And the people, the princes of Gil’ad, said one to another, Whatever man it be that will begin to fight against the children of ‘Ammon, shall become the head over all the inhabitants of Gil’ad.

lesserot@Judges:11:1 @ Now Yiphthach the Gil’adite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gil’ad had begotten Yiphthach.

lesserot@Judges:11:2 @ And the wife of Gil’ad also bore him sons; and when the sons of the wife were grown up, they drove away Yiphthach, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father: for the son of another woman art thou.

lesserot@Judges:11:3 @ And Yiphthach fled away from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and there gathered themselves to Yiphthach idle men, and they went out with him.

lesserot@Judges:11:4 @ And it came to pass after some time, that the children of ‘Ammon made war against Israel.

lesserot@Judges:11:5 @ And it was so, when the children of ‘Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gil’ad went to fetch Yiphthach out of the land of Tob.

lesserot@Judges:11:6 @ And they said unto Yiphthach, Come, and become a leader unto us, that we may fight with the children of ‘Ammon.

lesserot@Judges:11:7 @ And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gil’ad, Did ye not hate me, and drive me away out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now, when ye are in distress?

lesserot@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gil’ad said unto Yiphthach, Therefore are we now come back to thee, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of ‘Ammon; and thou shalt become unto us a head, unto all the inhabitants of Gil’ad.

lesserot@Judges:11:9 @ And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gil’ad, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of ‘Ammon, and the Lord give them up before me, shall I remain your head?

lesserot@Judges:11:10 @ And the elders of Gil’ad said unto Yiphthach, The Lord shall be a hearer between us, if we do not so according to thy word.

lesserot@Judges:11:11 @ Then went Yiphthach with the elders of Gil’ad, and the people appointed him over them as head and as leader; and Yiphthach spoke all his words before the Lord in Mitzpah.

lesserot@Judges:11:12 @ And Yiphthach sent messengers unto the king of the children of ‘Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?

lesserot@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the children of ‘Ammon said unto the messengers of Yiphthach, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and unto the Jordan: and now restore these again in peace.

lesserot@Judges:11:14 @ And Yiphthach again sent messengers unto the king of the children of ‘Ammon;

lesserot@Judges:11:15 @ And he said unto him, Thus hath said Yiphthach, Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of ‘Ammon;

lesserot@Judges:11:21 @ and the Lord the God of Israel delivered Sichon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of all the land of the Emorites, the inhabitants of that country.

lesserot@Judges:11:24 @ Truly! that which Kemosh thy god may give thee to possess, even that canst thou possess; but whatsoever the Lord our God hath driven out from before us, even that will we possess.

lesserot@Judges:11:25 @ And now art thou then any better than Balak the son of Zippor, the king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?

lesserot@Judges:11:26 @ while Israel hath dwelt in Cheshbon and in its towns, and in ‘Ar’or and in its towns, and in all the cities that are along the margins of the Arnon, three hundred years: why did ye not recover them within that time?

lesserot@Judges:11:28 @ Nevertheless the king of the children of ‘Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Yiphthach which he had sent to him.

lesserot@Judges:11:29 @ Then came upon Yiphthach the spirit of the Lord, and he passed through Gil’ad and Menasseh, and passed through Mitzpeh of Gil’ad, and from Mitzpeh of Gil’ad he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

lesserot@Judges:11:30 @ And Yiphthach made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of ‘Ammon into my hand,

lesserot@Judges:11:31 @ Then shall it be, that whatsoever cometh forth out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of ‘Ammon, shall belong to the Lord, and I will offer it up for a burnt–offering.

lesserot@Judges:11:32 @ So Yiphthach passed over unto the children of ‘Ammon to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hand.

lesserot@Judges:11:34 @ And Yiphthach came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his sole child; he had beside her neither son nor daughter.

lesserot@Judges:11:35 @ And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast bent me down very low, and thou art one of those that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.

lesserot@Judges:11:37 @ And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may descend to the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I with my companions.

lesserot@Judges:11:39 @ And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, and he fulfilled on her his vow which he had vowed; and she knew no man; and it became a custom in Israel,

lesserot@Judges:11:40 @ That the daughters of Israel went from year to year to lament for the daughter of Yiphthach the Gil’adite four days in the year.

lesserot@Judges:12:1 @ And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of ‘Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire.

lesserot@Judges:12:2 @ And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of ‘Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.

lesserot@Judges:12:3 @ And when I saw that ye helped me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over to the children of ‘Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand; and why then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

lesserot@Judges:12:4 @ Then Yiphthach gathered together all the men of Gil’ad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gil’ad smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim: Gil’ad is in the midst, between Ephraim and Menasseh.

lesserot@Judges:12:5 @ And the Gil’adites seized on the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it came to pass, when the Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me pass over; that the men of Gil’ad said unto him, Art thou an Ephrathite? and if he said, No;

lesserot@Judges:12:6 @ Then said they unto him, Do say, Shibboleth; but when he said, Sibboleth, and was not able to pronounce it correctly, they laid hold of him and slew him on the passages of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

lesserot@Judges:12:7 @ And Yiphthach judged Israel six years; and then died Yiphthach the Gil’adite, and was buried in the cities of Gil’ad.

lesserot@Judges:12:14 @ And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass–colts; and he judged Israel eight years.

lesserot@Judges:13:8 @ And Manoach entreated the Lord, and said, Hear me, O Lord, let the man of God, whom thou didst send, come again unto us, and instruct us what we shall do unto the child that is to be born.

lesserot@Judges:13:10 @ And the woman made haste, and ran, and informed her husband; and she said unto him, Behold, there hath appeared unto me the man, that came unto me the other day.

lesserot@Judges:13:11 @ And Manoach arose, and went after his wife; and he came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spokest unto the woman? and he said, I am.

lesserot@Judges:13:13 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoach, Of all that I have said unto the woman must she beware.

lesserot@Judges:13:14 @ Of any thing that cometh of the grape–vine she may not eat, and wine or strong drink she may not drink, and any thing unclean she may not eat: all that I commanded her must she observe.

lesserot@Judges:13:16 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoach, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; but if thou wilt offer a burnt–offering, thou must offer it unto the Lord; for Manoach knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.

lesserot@Judges:13:17 @ And Manoach said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that, when thy word cometh to pass, we may do thee honor?

lesserot@Judges:13:18 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why is it that thou wilt ask after my name, seeing it is secret?

lesserot@Judges:13:20 @ And it came to pass, when the flame went up from off the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar; and Manoach and his wife looked on, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

lesserot@Judges:13:21 @ And the angel of the Lord was no longer visible to Manoach and to his wife: then knew Manoach that he was an angel of the Lord.

lesserot@Judges:14:1 @ And Samson went down to Timnathah, and saw a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines.

lesserot@Judges:14:2 @ And he went up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnathah of the daughters of the Philistines; and now take her to me for wife.

lesserot@Judges:14:3 @ Then said unto him his father and his mother, Is there not among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going to take a wife from the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said unto his father, This one take for me; for she pleaseth me well.

lesserot@Judges:14:4 @ But his father and his mother knew not that it was from the Lord, that he sought but an occasion against the Philistines; and at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.

lesserot@Judges:14:5 @ And Samson thus went down, with his father and his mother, to Timnathah; and when they were come as far as the vineyards of Timnathah, behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

lesserot@Judges:14:9 @ And he took it out in his hands, and went on, eating as he was going, and came to his father and mother, and he gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that out of the carcass of the lion he had taken the honey.

lesserot@Judges:14:11 @ And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions, and they remained with him.

lesserot@Judges:14:13 @ But if ye will not be able to tell it to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments. And they said unto him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.

lesserot@Judges:14:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson’s wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may solve unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father’s house with fire: have ye invited us to impoverish us? is it not so?

lesserot@Judges:14:16 @ And Samson’s wife wept before him, and said, Thou doest but hate me, and lovest me not: that riddle hast thou propounded unto the children of my people, and me hast thou not told. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it to my father and to my mother, and thee shall I tell it?

lesserot@Judges:14:17 @ And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted; and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she had worried him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.

lesserot@Judges:14:18 @ Then said unto him the men of the city on the seventh day before the sun was yet gone down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

lesserot@Judges:15:1 @ And it came to pass after some time, in the time of wheat–harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, Let me go in to my wife into the chamber; but her father would not suffer him to go in.

lesserot@Judges:15:2 @ And her father said, I verily thought that thou didst utterly hate her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? Let her be thine, I pray thee, instead of her.

lesserot@Judges:15:3 @ And Samson said to them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them evil.

lesserot@Judges:15:7 @ And Samson said unto them, Since ye will do the like of this, I will surely be avenged on you, and after that will I cease.

lesserot@Judges:15:11 @ Thereupon went three thousand men of Judah down to the cleft of the rock ‘Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? and what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

lesserot@Judges:15:12 @ And they said unto him, To bind thee are we come down, to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not assail me yourselves.

lesserot@Judges:15:14 @ When he was come unto Lechi, the Philistines shouted against him; but the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly over him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax threads that are burnt with fire, and his bands melted from off his hands.

lesserot@Judges:15:17 @ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jaw–bone out of his hand, and called that place Ramath–lechi.

lesserot@Judges:15:19 @ But God clave a hollow place that was at Lechi, and there came forth water out of it; and he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived; wherefore he called the name thereof ‘En–hakkore, which is in Lechi unto this day.

lesserot@Judges:16:3 @ And Samson lay till midnight; but he arose at midnight, and took hold of the doors of the city–gate, and the two door–posts, and tore them away with the bolt, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of the mount that is before Hebron.

lesserot@Judges:16:4 @ And it came to pass after this, that he loved a woman in the valley of Shorek, whose name was Delilah.

lesserot@Judges:16:5 @ And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Persuade him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail over him, that we may bind him to subdue him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

lesserot@Judges:16:11 @ And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that have never been used in work, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.

lesserot@Judges:16:16 @ And it came to pass, when she worried him daily with her words, and urged him, that his soul became impatient to die;

lesserot@Judges:16:18 @ And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once; for he hath told me all his heart. Then came the lords of the Philistines up unto her, and brought the money in their hand.

lesserot@Judges:16:20 @ And she said, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and thought, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself free. But he knew not that the Lord had departed from him.

lesserot@Judges:16:25 @ And it came to pass, when their heart was merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make sport for us. And they called for Samson out of the prison–house; and he made sport before them; and they placed him between the pillars.

lesserot@Judges:16:26 @ And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me and let me feel the pillars whereupon the house is supported, that I may lean upon them.

lesserot@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women; and there were all the lords of the Philistines; and upon the roof were about three thousand men and women, that looked on while Samson made sport.

lesserot@Judges:16:28 @ And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, O Lord Eternal, remember me, I pray thee, and do thou strengthen me only this once, O God, that I may be avenged for one of my two eyes on the Philistines.

lesserot@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bent with might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead whom he slew at his death were more than those whom he had slain in his life.

lesserot@Judges:17:2 @ And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spokest of also in my ears,––behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son unto the Lord.

lesserot@Judges:17:13 @ Then said Micah, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have obtained a Levite for priest.

lesserot@Judges:18:1 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites were seeking for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for there had not fallen to their share up to that day among the tribes of Israel a inheritance.

lesserot@Judges:18:5 @ And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way on which we are going shall be prosperous.

lesserot@Judges:18:7 @ And the five men departed, and came to Layish, and saw the people that were therein, dwelling in security, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and no one inflicted any wrong in the land, as hereditary ruler; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no concern with any man.

lesserot@Judges:18:10 @ When ye enter, ye will come unto a secure people, and the land is roomy; for God hath given it into your hand; a place where there is no want of anything that is on the earth.

lesserot@Judges:18:19 @ And they said unto him, Be still, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and become to us a father and a priest: is it better that thou be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?

lesserot@Judges:18:22 @ When they were at a distance from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah’s house were called together, and they overtook the children of Daniel.

lesserot@Judges:18:23 @ And they called unto the children of Dan, who turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou hast called out thy people?

lesserot@Judges:18:26 @ And the children of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.

lesserot@Judges:18:27 @ And they took what Micah had made, and the priest whom he had had, and came over Layish, over a people that were quiet and secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the city they burnt with fire.

lesserot@Judges:18:28 @ And there was no deliverer; because it was far from Zidon, and the people had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth–rechob. And they rebuilt the city, and dwelt therein.

lesserot@Judges:18:30 @ And the children of Dan erected for themselves the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Menasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the exile of the land.

lesserot@Judges:18:31 @ And they set up for themselves Micah’s graven image, which he had made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

lesserot@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the lower edge of the mountain of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine out of Beth–lechem–judah.

lesserot@Judges:19:5 @ And it came to pass on the fourth day, that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; but the damsel’s father said unto his son–in–law, Comfort thy heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward can ye go your way.

lesserot@Judges:20:41 @ And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that the evil had overtaken them.

lesserot@Judges:20:46 @ So that all who fell on that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword: all these were men of valor.

lesserot@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beasts, and all that was found: also all the cities that they came upon did they set on fire.

lesserot@Judges:21:3 @ And they said, Wherefore, O Lord, God of Israel, is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be lacking this day out of Israel one tribe?

lesserot@Judges:21:4 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt–offerings and peace–offerings.

lesserot@Judges:21:5 @ And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the Lord? For there had been taken the great oath concerning him that came not up to the Lord to Mizpah, saying, He shall surely be put to death.

lesserot@Judges:21:7 @ What shall we do as respecteth wives for those that remain, since we have sworn by the Lord that we will give none of our daughters unto them for wives?

lesserot@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, what one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto the Lord to Mizpah? And, behold, there had not come to the camp a man from Yabesh–gil’ad to the assembly.

lesserot@Judges:21:11 @ And this is the thing that ye shall do, every male, and every woman that hath known by lying with him, shall ye devote.

lesserot@Judges:21:12 @ And they found among the inhabitants of Yabesh–gil’ad four hundred young virgins that had not known man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

lesserot@Judges:21:13 @ And the whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin that were on the rock Rimmon, and offered them peace.

lesserot@Judges:21:14 @ And Benjamin returned at that time: and they gave unto them the wives whom they had saved alive out of the women of Yabesh–gil’ad; but they found not sufficient for them in this way.

lesserot@Judges:21:15 @ And the people felt regret for Benjamin; because that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

lesserot@Judges:21:16 @ And the elders of the congregation said, What shall we do for those that remain as respecteth wives; because the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?

lesserot@Judges:21:17 @ And they said, Their inheritance must be secured for Benjamin, that not a tribe may be blotted out from Israel.

lesserot@Judges:21:18 @ Nevertheless we ourselves are not able to give them wives of our daughters; for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

lesserot@Judges:21:19 @ And they said, Behold, there is a feast of the Lord in Shiloh from year to year which is on the north side of Beth–el, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Beth–el to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

lesserot@Judges:21:22 @ And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to contend with us, that we will say unto them, Be favorable unto them for our sakes; because we took not for each man his wife in the war; because ye yourselves did not give them unto them, that ye should at this time be guilty.

lesserot@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 there every man to his inheritance.

lesserot@Ruth:1:1 @ And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land: and there went a certain man of Beth–lechem–judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

lesserot@Ruth:1:6 @ Then did she arise with her daughters–in–law, and returned homeward from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had thought of his people in giving them bread.

lesserot@Ruth:1:9 @ May the Lord grant unto you that ye may find rest, each one in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

lesserot@Ruth:1:11 @ Then said Na’omi, Return back, my daughters; why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may become your husbands?

lesserot@Ruth:1:13 @ Would ye wait in hopes for them till they were grown? would ye debar yourselves for them so as not to become the wives of any man? not so, my daughters; for I feel much more bitter pain than you; because the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.

lesserot@Ruth:1:18 @ When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.

lesserot@Ruth:1:19 @ So these two went until they came to Beth–lechem. And it came to pass, when they entered Beth–lechem, that all the city was in commotion about them, and people said, Is this Na’omi?

lesserot@Ruth:2:3 @ And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and the accident happened to her, that it was a part of the field belonging unto Bo’az, who was of the family of Elimelech.

lesserot@Ruth:2:5 @ Then said Bo’az unto his young man that was appointed over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?

lesserot@Ruth:2:6 @ And the young man that was appointed over the reapers answered and said, It is a Moabitish maiden that is returned with Na’omi out of the fields of Moab;

lesserot@Ruth:2:7 @ And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: so she came, and hath remained ever from the morning even until now; it is but a little while that she hath sat down in the house.

lesserot@Ruth:2:9 @ Let thy eyes be on the field which they may reap, and go thou after them; behold, I have charged the young men that they shall not touch thee: and when thou art thirsty, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men may draw.

lesserot@Ruth:2:10 @ Thereupon she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldst take cognizance of me, seeing I am but a stranger?

lesserot@Ruth:2:11 @ But Bo’az answered and said unto her, It hath fully been told me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother–in–law after the death of thy husband; and how thou hast forsaken thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not yesterday or the day before.

lesserot@Ruth:2:16 @ And ye shall also draw out some for her from the bundles on purpose, and leave it, that she may glean it, and ye shall not rebuke her.

lesserot@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother–in–law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where hast thou wrought? may he that took cognizance of thee be blessed. And she told her mother–in–law with whom she had wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today is Bo’az.

lesserot@Ruth:2:22 @ Then said Na’omi unto Ruth her daughter–in–law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that men may not meet with thee in any other field.

lesserot@Ruth:3:4 @ And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt note the place where he will lie, and thou shalt then go in, and lift up the covering that is on his feet, and lay thyself down: and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

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

lesserot@Ruth:3:6 @ And she went down unto the threshing–floor, and did in accordance with all that her mother–in–law had commanded her.

lesserot@Ruth:3:7 @ And Bo’az ate and drank, and his heart became merry; and he then went in to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came in softly, and lifted up the covering that was on his feet, and laid herself down.

lesserot@Ruth:3:8 @ And it came to pass at midnight, that the man became terrified, and bent himself forward; and, behold, a woman was lying at his feet.

lesserot@Ruth:3:10 @ And he said, Blessed be thou unto the Lord, my daughter; for thou hast shown more kindness in the last instance than the first, by not going after the young men, whether they be poor or rich.

lesserot@Ruth:3:11 @ And now, my daughter, fear not: all that thou mayest say will I do for thee; for all the gate of my people know that thou art a virtuous woman.

lesserot@Ruth:3:12 @ And now, it is indeed true that I am thy near kinsman; nevertheless, there is a kinsman nearer than I.

lesserot@Ruth:3:13 @ Remain here this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will redeem thee, well, let him redeem; but if he be not willing to redeem thee, then will I redeem thee, as the Lord liveth: lie still until the morning.

lesserot@Ruth:3:14 @ And she lay at his feet until the morning; and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, It must not be known that this woman came into the threshing–floor.

lesserot@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, Bring hither the cloak that thou hast upon thee, and lay hold of it. And she laid hold of it, and he measured six of barley, and laid it on her, and went into the city.

lesserot@Ruth:3:16 @ And she came to her mother–in–law, and she said, How is it with thee, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.

lesserot@Ruth:4:3 @ And he said unto the kinsman, Na’omi, that is returned out of the field of Moab, hath to sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s.

lesserot@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to inform thee of it, saying, Buy it before those sitting here, 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 beside thee to redeem it, and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

lesserot@Ruth:4:5 @ Then said Bo’az, On the day that thou buyest the field out of the hand of Na’omi, thou buyest it also from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

lesserot@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was formerly the custom in Israel at a redeeming and at an exchanging, to confirm any thing, that a man pulled off his shoe, and gave it to the other; and this was the manner of testimony in Israel.

lesserot@Ruth:4:9 @ And Bo’az said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that belonged to Elimelech, and all that belonged to Kilyon and Machlon, out of the hand of Na’omi.

lesserot@Ruth:4:10 @ And also Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Machlon, have I obtained for myself as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

lesserot@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, witnesses. The Lord grant that the woman that is coming into thy house be like Rachel and like Leah, who did both build up the house of Israel: and acquire thou wealth in Ephrathah, and let thy name become famous in Beth–lechem;

lesserot@Ruth:4:12 @ And may thy house be like the house of Perez, whom Thamar bore unto Judah, through the seed which the Lord will give thee of this young woman.

lesserot@Ruth:4:15 @ And may he be unto thee one who refresheth thy soul, and who nourisheth thy old age; for thy daughter–in–law, who loveth thee, hath born him, she who is better to thee than seven sons.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:1 @ And there was a certain man of Rama–thayim–zophim, of the mountain of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah, the son of Yerocham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tochu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:3 @ And this man went up out of his city from year to year to prostrate himself and to sacrifice unto the Lord of hosts in Shiloh. And at that place were the two sons of ‘Eli, Chophni and Phinehas, priests of the Lord.

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

lesserot@1Samuel:1:8 @ Then said to her Elkanah her husband, Hannah, why wilt thou weep? and why wilt thou not eat? and why should thy heart be grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?

lesserot@1Samuel:1:12 @ And it came to pass, as she continued praying long before the Lord, that ‘Eli watched her mouth.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:20 @ And it came to pass, after the lapse of some time, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she called his name Samuel, saying, Because from the Lord have I asked him.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up; for she said unto her husband, So soon as the child shall be weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and abide there for ever.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:26 @ And she said, Pardon, my Lord, as thy soul liveth, my Lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, to pray unto the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore also have I lent him, for my part, to the Lord; all the days that have been assigned to him shall he be lent to the Lord. And he bowed himself there before the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:4 @ The bow of the mighty is broken, and those that stumbled are girded with strength.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:5 @ They that were full hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.

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

lesserot@1Samuel:2:14 @ And he struck it into the pan, or the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, to Shiloh.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:15 @ Even before they had yet burnt the fat, the priest’s servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, but raw.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now ‘Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord’s people spread abroad.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:30 @ Therefore saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, so that there shall not be an old man in thy house.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:32 @ And thou shalt behold a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this shall be unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.

lesserot@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:4 @ That the Lord called Samuel: and he said, Here am I.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the Lord continued to call, Samuel, the third time; and he arose and went to ‘Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And ‘Eli then perceived that the Lord was calling the lad.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:9 @ And ‘Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. And Samuel went and lay down in his place.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:11 @ And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:12 @ On that day will I fulfill on ‘Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house: I will begin and finish.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:13 @ And I tell him that I will judge his house for ever; for the iniquity that he knew that his sons were drawing a curse on themselves, and he restrained them not.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:14 @ And therefore have I sworn unto the house of ‘Eli, that the iniquity of ‘Eli’s house shall not be atoned for with sacrifice or meat–offering for ever.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, What is the word which he hath spoken unto thee? do not, I pray thee, conceal it from me: may God do to thee thus, and continue to do so, if thou conceal any thing from me of all the word that he hath spoken unto thee.

lesserot@1Samuel:3:20 @ And thus knew all Israel from Dan even to Beer–sheba’ that Samuel was accredited as a prophet of the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people were come back into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten us this day before the Philistines? Let us bring over to us out of Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that it may come in the midst of us, and deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:5 @ And it happened when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the camp, that all Israel set up a great shout, so that the earth trembled.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:6 @ And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shouting, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the Lord was come into the camp.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:8 @ Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:9 @ Be strong, and act like men, O Philistines, so that ye become not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been servants to you: therefore act like men, and fight.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:15 @ Now ‘Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were fixed, so that he could not see.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when he mentioned the ark of God, that he fell from off the chair backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:19 @ And his daughter–in–law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings concerning that the ark of God had been taken, and that her father–in–law and her husband were dead, she sank down and gave birth; for her pains came suddenly upon her.

lesserot@1Samuel:4:20 @ And at the moment of her dying, the women that stood around her spoke, Fear not; for a son hast thou born. But she answered not, nor did she take it to heart.

lesserot@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore do the priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagon’s house, not step on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod even until this day.

lesserot@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not remain with us; for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our God.

lesserot@1Samuel:5:9 @ And it happened, after they had removed it, that the hand of the Lord was against the city with a very great confusion; and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had hemorrhoids in their secret parts.

lesserot@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, that it may return to its own place, so that it may not slay us, and our people; for there was a confusion of death throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.

lesserot@1Samuel:5:12 @ And the people that did not die were smitten with the hemorrhoids; and the lamentation of the city went up to heaven.

lesserot@1Samuel:6:4 @ And they said, What shall be the trespass–offering that we shall return to him? And they answered, According to the number of the lords of the Philistines, five golden hemorrhoids, and five golden mice; for one plague affected them all, and your lords.

lesserot@1Samuel:6:5 @ Therefore make images of your hemorrhoids, and images of your mice that devastate the land; and give glory unto the God of Israel: perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

lesserot@1Samuel:7:10 @ And as Samuel was offering up the burnt–offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel; but the Lord thundered with a loud noise on that day over the Philistines, and brought them into confusion, and they were smitten before Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:8:1 @ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:8:7 @ And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they may say unto thee; for not thee have they rejected, but me have they rejected, that I should not reign over them.

lesserot@1Samuel:8:8 @ In accordance with all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even until this day, when they forsook me, and served other gods: so do they also unto thee.

lesserot@1Samuel:11:5 @ And, behold, Saul was coming after the herds out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Yabesh.

lesserot@1Samuel:11:9 @ And they said unto the messengers that were come, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Yabesh–gil’ad, Tomorrow shall ye have help, when the sun shineth hot. And the messengers came and told it to the men of Yabesh; and these were glad.

lesserot@1Samuel:11:10 @ And the men of Yabesh said, Tomorrow will we go out unto you, and ye can do unto us in accordance with all that seemeth good in your eyes.

lesserot@1Samuel:11:11 @ And it happened on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the ‘Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that those that remained were scattered, and no two among them were left together.

lesserot@1Samuel:11:12 @ And the people said unto Samuel, Who is there that saith, Shall Saul reign over us? give up the men, and we will put them to death.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:1 @ And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and I have set a king over you.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:3 @ Behold, here am I; testify against me in the presence of the Lord, and in the presence of his anointed: Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or from whose hand have I received any ransom so that I withdrew my eyes from him? and I will restore it you.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found in my hand the least: and they answered, He is witness.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:7 @ And now stand up, that I may hold judgment with you before the Lord concerning all the benefits of the Lord, which he hath done to you and to your fathers.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:11 @ And the Lord sent Yerubba’al, and Bedan, and Yiphthach, and Samuel, and he delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, so that ye dwelt safely.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:12 @ But when ye saw that Nachash the king of the children of ‘Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the Lord your God is your king.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:14 @ If ye will fear the Lord, and serve him, and obey his voice, and will not rebel against the will of the Lord: then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the Lord your God.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is there not wheat–harvest today? I will call unto the Lord, and he will send thunders and rain; and ye will perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done, in the eyes of the Lord, to ask for yourselves a king.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:18 @ And Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunders and rain on that day: and all the people feared greatly the Lord and Samuel.

lesserot@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray in behalf of thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we may not die; for we have added unto all our sins yet this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.

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

lesserot@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men out of Israel; and there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and on the mountain of Beth–el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gib’ah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent away every man to his tents.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was at Geba’, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the cornet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear it.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:5 @ And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea–shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:6 @ And when the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, then did the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in strongholds, and in pits.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:8 @ And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed; but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattering themselves from him.

lesserot@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 greet him.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, What hast thou done: And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering themselves from me, whereas thou camest not at the appointed day, and the Philistines are gathering themselves together at Michmash;

lesserot@1Samuel:13:15 @ And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal unto Gib’ah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were to be found with him, about six hundred men.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were to be found with them, were lying in Geba’ of Benjamin; but the Philistines were encamped in Michmash.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:18 @ And another company turned into the way to Beth–choron; and the other company turned into the way to the frontier that looketh over the valley of Zebo’im toward the wilderness.

lesserot@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith to be found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, So that the Hebrews shall not make themselves swords or spears.

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

lesserot@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines’ outpost, that is on the other side yonder. But unto his father he told nothing.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul tarried in the lower part of Gib’ah under the pomegranate tree which is by Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:3 @ And Achiyah, the son of Achitub, the brother of I–chabod, the son of Phinehas, the son of ‘Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh, wore the ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:4 @ And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the outpost of the Philistines, there was a sharp point of rock on the one side, and a sharp point of rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:6 @ And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the outpost of these uncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by means of many or by means of few.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:7 @ And his armor–bearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:8 @ Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will show ourselves unto them.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the outpost addressed Jonathan and his armor–bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will let you know something. Then said Jonathan unto his armor–bearer, Come up after me; for the Lord hath given them up into the hand of Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan then ascended upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor–bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor–bearer was killing after him.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:14 @ And that first defeat, which Jonathan and his armor–bearer caused, was about twenty men, within about the half of a field, which a yoke of oxen might plough.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Muster now, and see who is gone away from us. And they mustered, and, behold, there was neither Jonathan nor his armor–bearer.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said unto Achiyah, Bring hither the ark of God; for the ark of God was on that day with the children of Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:19 @ And it happened, while Saul was speaking unto the priest, that the confusion which was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased more and more: And Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:20 @ And Saul and all the people that were with him were called together, and they came to the battle; and, behold, the sword of every man was against his fellow, the disorder being very great.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:21 @ And the Hebrews that were with the Philistines as before that time, those namely who had gone up with them, were in the camp round about; but these also resolved to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:22 @ And all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves on the mountain of Ephraim, heard that the Philistines had fled; and they also followed hard after them in the battle.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the Lord saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Beth–aven.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were hard urged that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food until the evening, until I have been avenged on my enemies. And the whole people tasted thus no food.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charging the people with the oath; he therefore put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honey–comb, and carried his hand again to his mouth; and his eyes became clear.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then commenced one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that will eat food this day; though the people were faint.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:29 @ Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how my eyes become clear, because I have tasted a little of this honey.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:31 @ And they smote on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Ayalon; and the people were very faint.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring near unto me every man his ox, and every man his lamb, and slaughter here, and eat; and sin not against the Lord in eating by the blood. And all the people brought near every man his ox by his hand that night, and slaughtered there.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:35 @ And Saul built an altar unto the Lord: the same was the first altar that he built unto the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:37 @ And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not on that day.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:39 @ For, as the Lord liveth, who saveth Israel, that if it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But no one answered him among all the people.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then said he unto all Israel, Ye shall be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:41 @ And Saul said unto the Lord, God of Israel, O, show forth the perfect truth. And Jonathan and Saul were seized; but the people came forth.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:42 @ And Saul said, Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was seized.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then said Saul to Jonathan, Do tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste with the end of the staff that was in my hand a little honey: lo, I am willing to die.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:44 @ And Saul said, May God do thus now, and in future also; for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:45 @ And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This shall not be: as the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of his head to the ground; for with God hath he wrought this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, and he died not.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:48 @ And he gathered an army, and he smote the ‘Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those that spoiled them.

lesserot@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Yishvi, and Malkishua’: and the names of his two daughters––the name of the first–born was Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:3 @ Now go and smite ‘Amalek, and devote all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and lamb, camel and ass.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul smote the ‘Amalekites from Chavilah until thou comest to Shur, that is before Egypt.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul together with the people had pity on Agag, and on the best of the flocks, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the fat lambs, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them; but all the cattle that was of little value and weak, that they destroyed.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:11 @ I repent that I have set up Saul as king; for he hath turned back from following me, and my word hath he not performed: and it displeased Samuel, and he cried unto the Lord all the night.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, Is it not that, however little thou wast in thy own eyes, thou art the head of the tribes of Israel? and the Lord anointed thee as king over Israel?

lesserot@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as much delight in burnt–offerings and in sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to attend more than the fat of the rams.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:23 @ For the sin of witchcraft is rebellion, and idolatry and image–worship, stubbornness; inasmuch as thou hast despised the word of the Lord, he hath also despised thee that thou shalt not be king.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:25 @ And now, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself to the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee; for thou didst despise the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath despised thee, that thou shalt not be king over Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said unto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdom of Israel from off thee this day, and hath given it to thy associate, who is better than thou.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:30 @ And he said, I have sinned; honor me now, I pray thee, in the presence of the elders of my people, and in the presence of Israel, and return with me, that I may prostrate myself unto the Lord thy God.

lesserot@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel did not see Saul any more until the day of his death; because Samuel mourned for Saul; and the Lord repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:4 @ And Samuel did that which the Lord had spoken, and came to Beth–lechem. And the elders of the town came hastily to meet him, and said, Peace to thee at thy coming.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it came to pass, when they came, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, having withal handsome eyes, and being of a goodly appearance. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then took Samuel the horn of oil, and anointed him from among his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly upon David from that day and forward. And Samuel then rose up, and went to Ramah.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our Lord but say, and thy servants, now before thee, will seek out a man, who is skilful as a player on the harp; and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, that thou mayest be well.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:17 @ And Saul said unto his servants, Select for me, I pray you, a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

lesserot@1Samuel:16:23 @ And it came to pass, when the spirit of God was upon Saul, that David took the harp, and played with his hand; so Saul became relieved, and he felt well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth–lechem–judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man was old in the days of Saul, belonging to the persons.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:13 @ And the three eldest sons of Jesse were gone following Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that were gone to the battle were Eliab the first–born, and the next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:25 @ And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is coming forth? for to defy Israel is he coming forth; and it shall be, that the man who killeth him,––him will the king enrich with great riches, and his daughter will he give him, and his father’s house will he make free in Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:26 @ And David said to the men that stood by him, thus, What shall be done to the man that may smite yon Philistine, and take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the arrays of the living God?

lesserot@1Samuel:17:27 @ And the people spoke to him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that may smite him.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:41 @ And the Philistine went and drew nearer and nearer unto David; and the man that bore the shield went before him.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:43 @ And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest unto me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:45 @ Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest unto me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the arrays of Israel, that thou hast defied.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day will the Lord deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and remove thy head from thee; and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and all the earth shall know that there is a God for Israel.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:47 @ And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not through sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you up into our hand.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:48 @ And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and went and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the battle–array to meet the Philistine.

lesserot@1Samuel:17:51 @ And David ran, and stood by the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of its sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they fled.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:1 @ And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit on the soul of David; and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:2 @ And Saul took him on that day, and would not permit him to go home to his father’s house.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:3 @ Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because of his loving him as his own soul.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he had upon him, and gave it to David, and likewise his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:6 @ And it came to pass as they came home, when David returned from smiting the Philistines, that the women came forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with triangles.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:7 @ And the women that played answered one another, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:8 @ And Saul was very wroth, and this saying was displeasing in his eyes; and he said, They have given unto David ten thousands, and to me they have given the thousands: and all that he lacketh now yet is only the kingdom.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:9 @ And Saul looked jealous on David from that day and forward.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:10 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came suddenly over Saul, and he spoke foolish things in the midst of the house: while David was playing with his hand, as on previous days; and the spear was in the hand of Saul.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:15 @ And when Saul saw that he was very successful, he was in dread of him.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:18 @ And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, my father’s family in Israel, that I should be a son–in–law to the king?

lesserot@1Samuel:18:19 @ But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto ‘Adriel the Mecholathite for wife.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:21 @ And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may become unto him a snare, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Through the second shalt thou this day become my son–in–law.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:23 @ And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, Doth it seem so light in your eyes to become the king’s son–in–law, seeing that I am a poor man, and of light esteem?

lesserot@1Samuel:18:27 @ When David arose and went, he and his men, and smote of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they counted them out in full to the king, that he might become the king’s son–in–law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter for wife.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:28 @ And Saul saw and understood that the Lord was with David: and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.

lesserot@1Samuel:18:30 @ And the princes of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass, whenever they went forth, that David was more successful than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly prized.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:1 @ And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:2 @ And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

lesserot@1Samuel:19:4 @ And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;

lesserot@1Samuel:19:6 @ And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:7 @ And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:10 @ And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:15 @ And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:17 @ And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?

lesserot@1Samuel:19:18 @ So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.

lesserot@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:1 @ And David fled from Nayoth near Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is my iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:3 @ But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:4 @ Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul sayeth will I do for thee.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new–moon, and I should as usual sit with the king to eat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:6 @ If thy father at all miss me, then do thou say, David asked earnestly leave of me that he might run to Beth–lechem his city; for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:7 @ If he should say thus, It is well: then shall thy servant have peace; but if it be at all displeasing to him, then know that the evil is determined on by him.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:9 @ And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee; for if I should know for certain that evil were determined on by my father to come upon thee, would I not tell it thee?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:10 @ Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell it me? or what, if thy father answer thee roughly?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said unto David, Come, let us go out into the field. And they went out, both of them, into the field.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said unto David, May the God of Israel if, when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, or of the third day, and, behold, if he be good toward David, I do not then send unto thee, and inform thee of it.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:13 @ May the Lord do so to Jonathan and continue so yet farther, that, if it please my father thee evil, I will inform thee of it, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace; and may the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:14 @ And wilt thou not, should I be yet alive, show me the kindness of the Lord, that I may not die?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:16 @ So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, May the Lord require it at the hand of David’s enemies.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan caused David to swear again, by his love for him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:18 @ Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new–moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be left empty.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:25 @ And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, upon the seat by the wall: and when Jonathan arose, Abner seated himself by the side of Saul, and David’s place was left empty.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul spoke not the least on that day; for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; because he hath not yet purified himself.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, the second day of the new–moon, that David’s place was left empty; and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore is the son of Jesse not come, both yesterday and today, to the repast?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:28 @ And Jonathan answered Saul, David asked earnestly leave of me to go as far as Beth–lechem.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for we have a family–sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself hath commanded it to me; and now, if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, that I may see my brothers: therefore is he not come unto the king’s table.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:30 @ And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of perverse rebelliousness! do I not know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own shame, and to the shame of thy mother’s nakedness?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:31 @ For all the days that the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou wilt not have any permanence with thy kingdom: therefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be put to death? what hath he done?

lesserot@1Samuel:20:33 @ And Saul cast his spear at him to smite him: and Jonathan understood that it was determined on by his father to put David to death.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:34 @ And Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food on the second day of the new–moon; for he was grieved for David; because his father had made him feel ashamed.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:35 @ And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field to the place appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:37 @ And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called after the lad, and said, Behold, the arrow is beyond thee!

lesserot@1Samuel:20:39 @ But the lad knew not the least: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:40 @ And Jonathan gave his weapons unto the lad who was with him, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.

lesserot@1Samuel:20:42 @ And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace: what we have sworn, both of us, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord shall be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever,. (note:)(21:1)(:note) And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:2 @ And there gathered themselves unto him every one that was in distress, and every one that had a creditor, and every one that had an embittered spirit; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:4 @ And he conducted them to the presence of the king of Moab: and they remained with him all the time that David was in the strong–hold.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:6 @ And Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him,

lesserot@1Samuel:22:7 @ Then said Saul unto his servants that stood about him, Hear, I pray you, men of Benjamin! will the son of Jesse give, indeed, to every one of you fields and vineyards? will he appoint you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds?

lesserot@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said unto the runners that stood about him, Turn round and slay the priests of the Lord; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not stretch forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:18 @ And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou round, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned round, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:22 @ And David said unto Ebyathar, I knew on that day, because Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have myself occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father’s house.

lesserot@1Samuel:22:23 @ Remain thou with me, fear nothing; for he that will seek my life will seek thy life; but thou shalt be well guarded with me.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:5 @ And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said unto his men, Far be it from me for the Lord’s sake, that I should do this thing unto my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him; because he is the anointed of the Lord.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:11 @ And now, my father, see, yea, see the corner of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and that I have not sinned against thee: yet thou liest in wait for my soul to take it.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:16 @ And it came to pass, When David had finished speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:17 @ And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast done for me only what is good, whereas I have rewarded thee only with what is evil.

lesserot@1Samuel:24:18 @ And thou hast proved this day, that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the Lord had surrendered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.

lesserot@1Samuel:25:42 @ And Abigayil hastened, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with her five damsels that went in her train; and she went after the messengers of David, and she became his wife.

lesserot@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped on the hill of Chachilah, which is before the desert by the way; but David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.

lesserot@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing which thou hast done is not good. As the Lord liveth, ye deserve to die; because ye have not kept guard over your master, over the Lord’s anointed. And now see, where is the king’s spear, and the cruise of water that was by his head?

lesserot@1Samuel:26:18 @ And he said, Why is this that my lord doth pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

lesserot@1Samuel:26:19 @ And now, I pray thee, let my Lord the king hear the words of his servant! If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, then may he accept the savor of an offering; but if they be the children of men, then be they cursed before the Lord; because they have driven me out this day so that I cannot attach myself on the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.

lesserot@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then said Saul, I have sinned; return, my son David; for I will not do thee harm any more, for the cause that my life was precious in thy eyes this day: behold, I have acted foolishly, and have erred exceedingly much.

lesserot@1Samuel:28:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their camps together for warfare, to fight with Israel; and Achish said unto David, Thou must know that thou shalt go out with me into the camp, thou and thy men.

lesserot@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city; and Saul had removed those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

lesserot@1Samuel:28:14 @ And he said unto her, What is his form? And she said, An old man is coming up; and he is wrapt in a mantle. And so Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and prostrated himself.

lesserot@1Samuel:28:20 @ Then fell Saul hastily with his full length to the earth, and was greatly afraid, because of the words of Samuel: there was also no strength in him; for he had not eaten any food all that day, and all that night.

lesserot@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then did Achish call David, and say unto him, As the Lord liveth, that thou art upright, and that thy going out and thy coming in with me in the camp is good in my eyes; for I have not found in thee any evil from the day of thy coming unto me until this day; nevertheless in the eyes of the lords thou art not good.

lesserot@1Samuel:29:7 @ And now return, and go in peace, that thou mayest not do any evil in the eyes of the lords of the Philistines.

lesserot@1Samuel:29:8 @ And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have been before thee, until this day, that I shall not go to fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

lesserot@2Samuel:12:18 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died; and the servants of David were afraid to tell him, that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he would not hearken to our voice: how then shall we say to him, The child is dead! he might do a hurt.

lesserot@2Samuel:12:19 @ But when David saw that his servants were whispering to each other, David understood that the child was dead; wherefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, he is dead.

lesserot@2Samuel:12:20 @ David then rose up from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his garments, and went into the house of the Lord and prostrated himself; and then he came to his own house, and asked that they should set food before him, and he ate.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:2 @ And Amnon worried himself so that he fell sick on account of Thamar his sister; for she was a virgin; and it was impossible in the eyes of Amnon to do her the least.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, Why art thou so wasted, O prince, morning after morning? Wilt thou not tell me? Then said Amnon to him, Thamar the sister of Abshalom my brother do I love.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:5 @ And Yonadab said to him, Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick; and when thy father cometh to see thee, thou must say unto him, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and give me some food, and prepare the refreshment before my eyes, in order that I may see it, and eat it out of her hand.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down, and feigned himself sick; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, Thamar my sister come, and mix up before my eyes a couple of cakes, that I may enjoy them out of her hand.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Thamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, and he was lying down; and she took the dough and kneaded, and mixed it up before his eyes, and baked the cakes;

lesserot@2Samuel:13:10 @ And Amnon said to Thamar, Bring the refreshment into the chamber, that I may enjoy it out of thy hand. So Thamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them unto Amnon her brother into the chamber.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her; and Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:16 @ And she said unto him, not add this yet greater wrong than the other which thou hast done with me, to send me away! But he would not listen to her;

lesserot@2Samuel:13:19 @ And Thamar put ashes on her head, and the garment of divers colors which was on her she rent: and she placed her hand on her head, and went away and cried as she went along.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:20 @ Then said to her Abshalom her brother, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but now, my sister, keep silence, he is thy brother, take this thing not to thy heart. So Thamar remained, and was secluded in the house of Abshalom her brother.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:22 @ And Abshalom spoke not with Amnon either bad or good; for Abshalom hated Amnon, because he had violated Thamar his sister.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass after two full years, that Abshalom had sheep–shearers at Ba’al–chazor, which is near Ephraim; and Abshalom invited all the king’s sons.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:32 @ But Yonadab the son of Shim’ah, David’s brother, commenced and said, Let not my Lord suppose that they have slain all the young men, the king’s sons; since Amnon alone is dead; for by the command of Abshalom was this ordained from the day that he violated Thamar his sister.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:33 @ And now let not my Lord the king take the thing to his heart, thinking, that all the king’s sons are dead; for Amnon alone is dead.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:34 @ And Abshalom flew away. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming by the way behind him, by the side of the mount.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:36 @ And it happened, as he had just finished speaking, that, behold, the king’s sons came, and they lifted up their voice and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very much.

lesserot@2Samuel:13:39 @ And king David longed to go forth unto Abshalom; for he was comforted concerning Amnon, that he was dead.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:1 @ And when now Joab the son of Zeruyah perceived that the heart of the king was toward Abshalom:

lesserot@2Samuel:14:2 @ Then sent Joab to Tekoa’, and he fetched thence a wise woman, and said to her, Feign. I pray thee, as though thou mournest, and do put on mourning garments, and anoint thyself not with oil; but be as a woman that hath these many days been mourning for the dead.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:7 @ And, behold, the whole family is risen up against thy handmaid, and they said, Give up the slayer of his brother, that we may have him put to death, for the life of his brother whom he hath killed; and we will destroy also the heir: and thus they will quench my coal which is remaining, so as not to allow to my husband either name or remainder upon the face of the earth.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:11 @ Then said she, Let the king, I pray thee, remember the Lord thy God, so as not to suffer the avenger of the blood to cause yet more destruction, and that they may not destroy my son. And he said, As the Lord liveth, there shall not fall one hair of thy son to the earth.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:14 @ For we must needs die, and are as water which is spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; and yet doth God not take away life; and he deviseth thoughts, so that the banished one may not remain banished from him.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:15 @ And now that I am come to speak unto my Lord the king of this thing, because the people made me afraid; and therefore thy hand–maid said, I will still speak unto the king; perhaps the king may act the word of his hand–maid.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:19 @ And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my Lord, O king! none can turn to the right or to the left from all that my Lord the king hath spoken; for it was thy servant Joab who hath bidden me, and it was he that hath put in the mouth of thy hand–maid all these words.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:20 @ In order to change the appearance of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:25 @ And like Abshalom there was no man as handsome in all Israel, so that he was greatly praised: from the sole of his foot up to the crown of his head there was no blemish on him.

lesserot@2Samuel:14:27 @ And there was born unto Abshalom three sons and one daughter, whose name was Thamar: this one was a woman of handsome appearance.

lesserot@2Samuel:15:1 @ And it came to pass after this, that Abshalom provided for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men who ran before him.

lesserot@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Abshalom rose up early, and stood on the side of the way to the gate: and it happened, that whenever a man who had a controversy came to the king for judgment, Abshalom called to him, and said, From what city art thou?

lesserot@2Samuel:15:4 @ And Abshalom said, Oh, if there were but one to appoint me judge in the land, so that every man who may have any controversy or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!

lesserot@2Samuel:15:5 @ And it happened, that when a man came nigh to bow down to him, he used to put forth his hand, and laid hold of him, and kissed him.

lesserot@2Samuel:15:6 @ And Abshalom did after this manner to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: and thus did Abshalom steal the heart of the men of Israel.

lesserot@2Samuel:15:7 @ And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Abshalom said unto the king, Let me go, I pray thee, and fulfill my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord, at Hebron.

lesserot@1Kings:6:7 @ And the house, when it was in building, was built of entire stones as they had been prepared at the quarry: so that neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron was heard in the house, while it was in building.

lesserot@1Kings:6:17 @ And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.

lesserot@1Kings:6:22 @ And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished: also the whole altar that was before the debir did he overlay with gold.

lesserot@1Kings:6:26 @ The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so that of the other cherub.

lesserot@1Kings:6:27 @ And he set the cherubim within the innermost part of the house: and they spread forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings toward the middle of the house touched one another.

lesserot@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was covered with cedar above over the beams, that lay on the forty–five pillars, fifteen in a row.

lesserot@1Kings:7:18 @ And he made the pillars, so that two rows of pomegranates were round about upon the one net–work, to cover the capitals that were upon the top: and the same he made for the other capital.

lesserot@1Kings:7:19 @ And the capitals, that were upon the top of the pillars, furnished with lily–work, those in the porch, were four cubits.

lesserot@1Kings:7:29 @ And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the corner ledges it was thus also above; and likewise beneath the lions and oxen were pendant wreaths of plated work.

lesserot@1Kings:7:40 @ And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins; so Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made for king Solomon for the house of the Lord.

lesserot@1Kings:8:64 @ On the same day did the king hallow the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt–offerings, and the meat–offerings, and the fat of the peace–offerings; because the copper altar that was before the Lord was too small to contain the burnt–offerings, and the meat–offerings, and the fat of the peace–offerings.

lesserot@1Kings:8:65 @ And Solomon held at that time the feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

lesserot@1Kings:11:28 @ And the man Jerobo’am was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was an industrious worker, he appointed him over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

lesserot@1Kings:12:8 @ But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, those who stood before him:

lesserot@1Kings:12:10 @ Then spoke unto him the young men that were grown up with him, saying, Thus must thou say unto this people that have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but do thou make it lighter unto us: thus must thou speak unto them, My little finger is thicker than my father’s loins.

lesserot@1Kings:12:13 @ The king answered the people harshly, and forsook the old men’s counsel that they had advised him;

lesserot@1Kings:12:15 @ Thus the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was so brought about from the Lord, in order that he might fulfill his word, which the Lord had spoken by means of Achiyah the Shilonite unto Jerobo’am the son of Nebat.

lesserot@1Kings:12:16 @ So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people gave the king an answer saying, What portion have we in David? nor have we an inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So did Israel go away unto their tents.

lesserot@1Kings:12:18 @ Then sent king Rehobo’am Adoram, who was over the tribute; but all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehobo’am made speed with all his might to get up into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

lesserot@1Kings:12:20 @ And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jerobo’am was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, save the tribe of Judah alone.

lesserot@1Kings:12:32 @ And Jerobo’am made a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar; so did he in Beth–el, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he stationed at Beth–el the priests of the high–places whom he had made.

lesserot@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave on the same day a token, saying, This is the token that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes which are upon it shall be spilled about.

lesserot@1Kings:13:4 @ And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he had called out against the altar in Beth–el, that Jerobo’am stretched forth his hand from off the altar, saying, Seize him. And his hand, which he had put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.

lesserot@1Kings:13:6 @ And the king commenced and said unto the man of God, Offer but entreaty before the Lord thy God, and pray in behalf of me, that my hand may return to me again.

lesserot@Nehemiah:7:70 @ And a portion of the chiefs of the divisions gave unto the work. The Thirshatha gave to the treasure, of gold one thousand drachms, fifty bowls, five hundred and thirty coats for the priests.

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:1 @ And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the open place which is before the water–gate; and they said unto ‘Ezra the expounder that he should bring forward the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord commanded to Israel.

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:2 @ Then did ‘Ezra the priest bring forward the law before the congregation both of men and women, and every one that had understanding to listen, on the first day of the seventh month;

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:3 @ And he read therein in the open place which is before the water–gate from the first daylight until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand: and the ears of all the people were directed unto the book of the law.

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the law that the Lord had commanded through means of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast in the seventh month.

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:15 @ And that they should publish and have proclamation made throughout all their cities, and through Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mountain and fetch olive–leaves, and oleaster–leaves, and myrtle–leaves, and palm–leaves, and leaves of the three–leaved myrtle, to make booths, as it is written.

lesserot@Nehemiah:8:17 @ And all the congregation that were returned out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua’ the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:5 @ Then said the Levites, Jeshua’, and Kadmiel, Bani, Chashabneyah, Sherebyah, Hodiyah, Shebanyah, and Pethachyah, Arise! bless ye the Lord your God from eternity to eternity. And let men bless thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:6 @ Thou indeed art the Eternal One alone: It is thou that hast made the heavens with all their host, the earth, and all that is upon her, the seas, and all that is in them, and thou givest life to them all; and the host of the heavens bow down before thee.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:10 @ And thou didst display signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they had dealt presumptuously against them; and thou didst make thyself a name, as it is this day.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:11 @ And the sea didst thou divide before them, so that they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers didst thou throw into the deeps, like a stone in mighty waters.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:28 @ But when they had rest, they did again evil before thee: wherefore thou didst leave them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had dominion over them; and when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou wast wont to hear them from heaven, and thou didst ever deliver them according to thy mercies many times.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:29 @ And thou gavest them warning to bring them back unto thy law: yet they acted presumptuously, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, and sinned against thy ordinances, which a man is to do that he may live through them: and they rendered their shoulder rebellious, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

lesserot@Nehemiah:9:32 @ And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest the covenant and kindness, let not be esteemed as little before thee all the hardship that hath befallen us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, from the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

lesserot@Esther:2:12 @ And when the turn of every maiden was come to go in unto king Achashverosh, at the expiration that she had been treated according to the custom of the women, twelve months; for so were the days of their anointings accomplished, six months with the oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other ointments of the women;

lesserot@Esther:2:15 @ And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abichayil, the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her to himself as a daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, said: and Esther obtained grace in the eyes of all those that beheld her.

lesserot@Esther:2:17 @ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor before him more than all the virgins; and he placed the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

lesserot@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, Bigthan and Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, became wroth, and sought to lay hand on king Achashverosh.

lesserot@Esther:3:1 @ After these events did king Achashverosh make great Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he advanced him; and he placed his seat above that of all the princes that were with him.

lesserot@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bent the knee and prostrated themselves to Haman; for so had the king commanded concerning him; but Mordecai bent not the knee nor prostrated himself.

lesserot@Esther:3:4 @ Now it came to pass, when they spoke unto him day by day, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai would be able to stand; for he had told them that be was a Jew.

lesserot@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mordecai bent not the knee, nor prostrated himself to him, Haman became full of fury.

lesserot@Esther:3:6 @ But it appeared too contemptible in his eyes to lay his hand on Mordecai alone: for they had told him of the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout all the kingdom of Achashverosh, the people of Mordecai.

lesserot@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, that is the month Nissan, in the twelfth year of king Achashverosh, some one cast the Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

lesserot@Esther:3:9 @ If it be pleasing to the king, let be written to destroy them; and ten thousand talents of silver will I weigh out into the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring into the king’s treasuries.

lesserot@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the writing, to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all the nations, that they might be ready against that day.

lesserot@Esther:4:1 @ When Mordecai ascertained all that had been 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 bitter cry;

lesserot@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him all that had happened unto him, and of the fixed sum of money which Haman had promised to weigh out into the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them.

lesserot@Esther:4:8 @ Also the copy of the writing of the law that had been given out in Shushan to destroy them he gave to him, to show it unto Esther, and to tell her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, and to make supplication unto him, and to present a request before him for her people.

lesserot@Esther:4:11 @ All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that every one, whether man or woman, who should come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is but one law for him, to put him to death, except the one to whom the king should hold out the golden sceptre, for he will be suffered to live; but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

lesserot@Esther:4:16 @ Go, assemble together all the Jews who are now present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, so that ye neither eat nor drink three days, either night or day; also I myself with my maidens will fast in like manner; and then will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I then perish, I perish.

lesserot@Esther:4:17 @ And Mordecai went about, and did in accordance with all that Esther had charged him.

lesserot@Esther:5:2 @ And it happened, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained grace in his eyes; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand; and Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

lesserot@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to fulfill my request, that the king may come with Haman to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow will I do according to the word of the king.

lesserot@Esther:5:9 @ And Haman went forth on that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, who did not rise up, nor move out of the way for him, then was Haman filled against Mordecai with fury.

lesserot@Esther:5:12 @ And Haman said, Yea, Esther the queen did not let any one come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself: and also for tomorrow am I invited unto her with the king.

lesserot@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this profiteth me nothing, every time that I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in the king’s gate.

lesserot@Esther:5:14 @ Then said unto him Zeresh his wife with all his friends, Let them make a gallows of fifty cubits high, and in the mourning speak unto the king that they may hang Mordecai thereon; and then go thou in with the king unto the banquet joyfully. And the thing pleased Haman; and he had the gallows made.

lesserot@Esther:6:1 @ In that night sleep fled from the king, and he ordered to bring in the book of the memorable events of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

lesserot@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, who had sought to lay hand on king Achashverosh.

lesserot@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in; and the king said unto him, What shall be done with the man whom the king desireth to honor? And Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king desire to do honor more than to myself?

lesserot@Esther:6:9 @ And let the apparel and the horse be given into the hand of one of the king’s princes, of the most noble, that they may array the man whom the king desireth to honor, and let them cause him to ride on the horse through the streets of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall be done to the man whom the king desireth to honor.

lesserot@Esther:6:10 @ Then said the king to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do thus to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: leave out nothing of all that thou hast spoken.

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

lesserot@Esther:7:7 @ And the king arose in his fury from the banquet of wine, and went into the palace–garden: and Haman remained behind to make request for his life of Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil fully determined.

lesserot@Esther:8:1 @ On that day did king Achashverosh give the house of Haman the adversary of the Jews unto Esther the queen: and Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

lesserot@Esther:8:6 @ For how could I endure to look on the evil that is to befall my people? and how could I endure to look on the extermination of my kindred?

lesserot@Esther:8:9 @ Then were called the king’s scribes at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written all just as Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors and the princes of the provinces who were from India unto Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty–seven provinces, unto every province according to its writing, and unto every people according to its language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
