wbs@Numbers:9:13 @ But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

wbs@Numbers:9:14 @ And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover to the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner of it, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

wbs@Numbers:10:30 @ And he said to him, I will not go; but I will depart to my own land, and to my kindred.

wbs@Numbers:10:31 @ And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

wbs@Numbers:10:32 @ And it shall be, if thou wilt go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do to us, the same will we do to thee.

wbs@Numbers:10:33 @ And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to seek a resting-place for them.

wbs@Numbers:10:34 @ And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.

wbs@Numbers:10:35 @ And it came to pass, when the ark moved forward, that Moses said, Arise, LORD, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

wbs@Numbers:10:36 @ And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, to the many thousands of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:11:1 @ And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD; and the LORD heard it: and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

wbs@Numbers:11:2 @ And the people cried to Moses; and when Moses prayed to the LORD, the fire was quenched.

wbs@Numbers:11:3 @ And he called the name of the place Taberah; because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.

wbs@Numbers:11:4 @ And the mixed multitude that was among them fell to lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?

wbs@Numbers:11:5 @ We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt freely: the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:

wbs@Numbers:11:6 @ But now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes.

wbs@Numbers:11:7 @ And the manna was as coriander-seed, and the color of it as the color of bdellium.

wbs@Numbers:11:8 @ And the people went about, and gathered it and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.

wbs@Numbers:11:9 @ And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.

wbs@Numbers:11:10 @ Then Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly: Moses also was displeased.

wbs@Numbers:11:11 @ And Moses said to the LORD, Why hast thou afflicted thy servant? and why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

wbs@Numbers:11:12 @ Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father beareth the sucking child, to the land which thou sworest to their fathers?

wbs@Numbers:11:13 @ Whence should I have flesh to give to all this people? for they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

wbs@Numbers:11:14 @ I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

wbs@Numbers:11:15 @ And if thou dealest thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

wbs@Numbers:11:16 @ And the LORD said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them to the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.

wbs@Numbers:11:17 @ And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou mayest not bear it thyself alone.

wbs@Numbers:11:18 @ And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.

wbs@Numbers:11:19 @ Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;

wbs@Numbers:11:20 @ But even a whole month, until it shall come out at your nostrils, and it be lothsome to you; because ye have despised the LORD who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

wbs@Numbers:11:21 @ And Moses said, The people among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.

wbs@Numbers:11:22 @ Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice for them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered for them, to suffice for them?

wbs@Numbers:11:23 @ And the LORD said to Moses, Is the LORD'S hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass to thee, or not.

wbs@Numbers:11:24 @ And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them around the tabernacle.

wbs@Numbers:11:25 @ And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it to the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that when the spirit rested upon them; they prophesied, and did not cease.

wbs@Numbers:11:26 @ But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them, and they were of them that were described, but went not out to the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

wbs@Numbers:11:27 @ And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.

wbs@Numbers:11:28 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord, Moses, forbid them.

wbs@Numbers:11:29 @ And Moses said to him, Enviest thou for my sake? I would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them.

wbs@Numbers:11:30 @ And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:11:31 @ And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, around the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.

wbs@Numbers:11:32 @ And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves around the camp.

wbs@Numbers:11:33 @ And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.

wbs@Numbers:11:34 @ And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.

wbs@Numbers:11:35 @ And the people journeyed from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth: and abode at Hazeroth.

wbs@Numbers:12:1 @ And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: for he had married a Cushite woman.

wbs@Numbers:12:2 @ And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoke only by Moses? hath he not spoke also by us? And the LORD heard it.

wbs@Numbers:12:3 @ (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.)

wbs@Numbers:12:4 @ And the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

wbs@Numbers:12:5 @ And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

wbs@Numbers:12:6 @ And he said, Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream.

wbs@Numbers:12:8 @ With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

wbs@Numbers:12:9 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

wbs@Numbers:12:10 @ And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

wbs@Numbers:12:11 @ And Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

wbs@Numbers:12:12 @ Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed at the time of his birth.

wbs@Numbers:12:13 @ And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

wbs@Numbers:12:14 @ And the LORD said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received again.

wbs@Numbers:12:15 @ And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

wbs@Numbers:12:16 @ And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

wbs@Numbers:13:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:13:2 @ Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.

wbs@Numbers:13:3 @ And Moses, by the commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:13:4 @ And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

wbs@Numbers:13:5 @ Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

wbs@Numbers:13:6 @ Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

wbs@Numbers:13:7 @ Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.

wbs@Numbers:13:8 @ Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.

wbs@Numbers:13:9 @ Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.

wbs@Numbers:13:10 @ Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.

wbs@Numbers:13:14 @ Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.

wbs@Numbers:13:15 @ Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.

wbs@Numbers:13:16 @ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

wbs@Numbers:13:17 @ And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this way southward, and ascend the mountain:

wbs@Numbers:13:18 @ And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;

wbs@Numbers:13:19 @ And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;

wbs@Numbers:13:20 @ And what the land is, whether it is fertile or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

wbs@Numbers:13:21 @ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

wbs@Numbers:13:22 @ And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

wbs@Numbers:13:23 @ And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

wbs@Numbers:13:24 @ The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

wbs@Numbers:13:25 @ And they returned from exploring the land after forty days.

wbs@Numbers:13:26 @ And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

wbs@Numbers:13:27 @ And they told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

wbs@Numbers:13:28 @ Nevertheless, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.

wbs@Numbers:13:29 @ The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

wbs@Numbers:13:30 @ And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

wbs@Numbers:13:31 @ But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.

wbs@Numbers:13:32 @ And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, are men of a great stature.

wbs@Numbers:13:33 @ And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

wbs@Numbers:14:1 @ And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

wbs@Numbers:14:2 @ And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said to them, O that we had died in the land of Egypt! or O that we had died in this wilderness!

wbs@Numbers:14:3 @ And why hath the LORD brought us to this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

wbs@Numbers:14:4 @ And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

wbs@Numbers:14:5 @ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:14:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

wbs@Numbers:14:7 @ And they spoke to all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

wbs@Numbers:14:8 @ If the LORD delighteth in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

wbs@Numbers:14:9 @ Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defense has departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.

wbs@Numbers:14:10 @ But all the congregation required to stone them with stones: and the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:14:11 @ And the LORD said to Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shown among them?

wbs@Numbers:14:12 @ I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

wbs@Numbers:14:13 @ And Moses said to the LORD, Then the Egyptians will hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

wbs@Numbers:14:14 @ And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day-time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

wbs@Numbers:14:15 @ Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

wbs@Numbers:14:16 @ Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

wbs@Numbers:14:17 @ And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

wbs@Numbers:14:18 @ The LORD is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.

wbs@Numbers:14:19 @ Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt, even until now.

wbs@Numbers:14:20 @ And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

wbs@Numbers:14:21 @ But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

wbs@Numbers:14:22 @ Because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

wbs@Numbers:14:23 @ Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

wbs@Numbers:14:24 @ But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went; and his seed shall possess it.

wbs@Numbers:14:25 @ (Now the Amalekites, and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) To-morrow turn you, and pass into the wilderness, by the way of the Red sea.

wbs@Numbers:14:26 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

wbs@Numbers:14:27 @ How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

wbs@Numbers:14:28 @ Say to them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:

wbs@Numbers:14:30 @ Doubtless ye shall not come into the land concerning which I swore to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

wbs@Numbers:14:31 @ But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

wbs@Numbers:14:32 @ But as for you, your carcasses, they shall fall in this wilderness.

wbs@Numbers:14:33 @ And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your lewd deeds, until your carcasses shall be wasted in the wilderness.

wbs@Numbers:14:34 @ After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days (each day for a year) shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

wbs@Numbers:14:35 @ I the LORD have said, I will surely do it to all this evil congregation, that are gathered against me: in this wilderness, they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

wbs@Numbers:14:36 @ And the men whom Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing a slander upon the land,

wbs@Numbers:14:37 @ Even those men that brought the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.

wbs@Numbers:14:38 @ But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

wbs@Numbers:14:39 @ And Moses told these sayings to all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

wbs@Numbers:14:40 @ And they rose early in the morning, and ascended to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

wbs@Numbers:14:41 @ And Moses said, Why now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.

wbs@Numbers:14:42 @ Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

wbs@Numbers:14:43 @ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.

wbs@Numbers:14:44 @ But they presumed to go up to the hill-top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

wbs@Numbers:14:45 @ Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even to Hormah.

wbs@Numbers:15:1 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:15:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

wbs@Numbers:15:3 @ And will make an offering by fire to the LORD, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a free-will-offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savor to the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:

wbs@Numbers:15:5 @ And the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink-offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.

wbs@Numbers:15:6 @ Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat-offering two tenth parts of flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil.

wbs@Numbers:15:7 @ And for a drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet savor to the LORD.

wbs@Numbers:15:8 @ And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace-offerings to the LORD:

wbs@Numbers:15:9 @ Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat-offering of three tenth parts of flour mingled with half a hin of oil.

wbs@Numbers:15:10 @ And thou shalt bring for a drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD:

wbs@Numbers:15:12 @ According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.

wbs@Numbers:15:13 @ All that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.

wbs@Numbers:15:16 @ One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

wbs@Numbers:15:17 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:16:1 @ Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:

wbs@Numbers:16:2 @ And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:

wbs@Numbers:16:3 @ And they assembled themselves against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: why then do ye raise yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

wbs@Numbers:16:4 @ And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:

wbs@Numbers:16:5 @ And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, Even to-morrow the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near to him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near to him.

wbs@Numbers:16:7 @ And put fire in them, and put incense in them before the LORD to-morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.

wbs@Numbers:16:8 @ And Moses said to Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:

wbs@Numbers:16:9 @ Seemeth it but a small thing to you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them?

wbs@Numbers:16:10 @ And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?

wbs@Numbers:16:11 @ For which cause both thou and all thy company are assembled against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

wbs@Numbers:16:12 @ And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: who said, We will not come up:

wbs@Numbers:16:13 @ Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?

wbs@Numbers:16:14 @ Moreover, thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.

wbs@Numbers:16:15 @ And Moses was very wroth, and said to the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

wbs@Numbers:16:16 @ And Moses said to Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow:

wbs@Numbers:16:17 @ And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also and Aaron each of you his censer.

wbs@Numbers:16:18 @ And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense on them, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.

wbs@Numbers:16:19 @ And Korah gathered all the congregation against them to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.

wbs@Numbers:16:20 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

wbs@Numbers:16:21 @ Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

wbs@Numbers:16:22 @ And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

wbs@Numbers:16:23 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:16:24 @ Speak to the congregation, saying, Withdraw yourselves from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.

wbs@Numbers:16:25 @ And Moses rose up, and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.

wbs@Numbers:16:26 @ And he spoke to the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

wbs@Numbers:16:27 @ So they withdrew from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.

wbs@Numbers:16:33 @ They, and all that appertained to them went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.

wbs@Numbers:16:34 @ And all Israel that were round about them, fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.

wbs@Numbers:16:35 @ And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

wbs@Numbers:16:36 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:16:37 @ Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.

wbs@Numbers:16:38 @ The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel.

wbs@Numbers:16:39 @ And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, with which they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:

wbs@Numbers:16:40 @ To be a memorial to the children of Israel, that no stranger, who is not of the seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he may not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.

wbs@Numbers:16:44 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:16:45 @ Remove from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.

wbs@Numbers:16:46 @ And Moses said to Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire in it from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly to the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.

wbs@Numbers:16:47 @ And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.

wbs@Numbers:16:48 @ And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

wbs@Numbers:16:49 @ Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.

wbs@Numbers:16:50 @ And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.

wbs@Numbers:17:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, by which they murmur against you.

wbs@Numbers:17:6 @ And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

wbs@Numbers:17:8 @ And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.

wbs@Numbers:17:9 @ And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.

wbs@Numbers:17:10 @ And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again, before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

wbs@Numbers:17:11 @ And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.

wbs@Numbers:18:12 @ All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first-fruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given to thee.

wbs@Numbers:19:8 @ And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the evening.

wbs@Numbers:19:9 @ And a man that is clean shall gather the ashes of the heifer, and lay them without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel, for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.

wbs@Numbers:19:10 @ And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the evening: and it shall be to the children of Israel, and to the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.

wbs@Numbers:19:11 @ He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

wbs@Numbers:19:12 @ He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he shall not purify himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

wbs@Numbers:19:13 @ Whoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

wbs@Numbers:19:14 @ This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

wbs@Numbers:19:16 @ And whoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

wbs@Numbers:21:28 @ For there has a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.

wbs@Numbers:21:29 @ Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity to Sihon king of the Amorites.

wbs@Numbers:21:30 @ We have shot at them; Heshbon has perished even to Dibon, and we have laid them waste even to Nophah, which reacheth to Medeba.

wbs@Numbers:22:4 @ And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are around us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

wbs@Numbers:22:5 @ He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there has a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:

wbs@Numbers:22:6 @ Come now therefore, I pray thee, Curse for me this people; for they are too mighty for me: it may be I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.

wbs@Numbers:22:17 @ For I will promote thee to very great honor, and I will do whatever thou sayest to me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse this people for me.

wbs@Numbers:22:18 @ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

wbs@Numbers:22:19 @ Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more.

wbs@Numbers:22:20 @ And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call thee, rise and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to thee, that shalt thou perform.

wbs@Numbers:22:21 @ And Balaam rose in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

wbs@Numbers:22:22 @ And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.

wbs@Numbers:22:23 @ And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

wbs@Numbers:22:24 @ But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

wbs@Numbers:22:25 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself against the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.

wbs@Numbers:22:26 @ And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

wbs@Numbers:22:27 @ And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.

wbs@Numbers:22:28 @ And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

wbs@Numbers:22:29 @ And Balaam said to the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill thee.

wbs@Numbers:22:30 @ And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I thy ass, upon which thou hast rid ever since I was thine to this day? was I ever wont to do so to thee? And he said, Nay.

wbs@Numbers:22:31 @ Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

wbs@Numbers:22:32 @ And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why hast thou smitten thy ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:

wbs@Numbers:22:33 @ And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.

wbs@Numbers:22:34 @ And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displeaseth thee, I will return again.

wbs@Numbers:22:35 @ And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to thee, that thou shalt speak: So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

wbs@Numbers:22:36 @ And when Balak heard that Balaam had come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost limit.

wbs@Numbers:22:37 @ And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to thee to call thee? why camest thou not to me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honor?

wbs@Numbers:22:38 @ And Balaam said to Balak, Lo, I have come to thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

wbs@Numbers:23:6 @ And he returned to him and lo, he stood by his burnt-sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.

wbs@Numbers:23:7 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, defy Israel.

wbs@Numbers:23:8 @ How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?

wbs@Numbers:23:9 @ For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.

wbs@Numbers:23:12 @ And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?

wbs@Numbers:23:13 @ And Balak said to him, Come, I pray thee, with me to another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and from thence curse them for me.

wbs@Numbers:23:14 @ And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

wbs@Numbers:23:15 @ And he said to Balak, Stand here by thy burnt-offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.

wbs@Numbers:23:18 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Rise, Balak, and hear; hearken to me, thou son of Zippor:

wbs@Numbers:23:19 @ God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoke, and shall he not make it good?

wbs@Numbers:23:20 @ Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

wbs@Numbers:23:21 @ He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel; the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

wbs@Numbers:23:22 @ God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn.

wbs@Numbers:23:23 @ Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

wbs@Numbers:23:24 @ Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he shall eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.

wbs@Numbers:23:25 @ And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.

wbs@Numbers:23:26 @ But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Did I not tell thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?

wbs@Numbers:23:27 @ And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee to another place; perhaps it will please God that thou mayest from thence curse them for me.

wbs@Numbers:23:28 @ And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looketh towards Jeshimon.

wbs@Numbers:23:29 @ And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.

wbs@Numbers:24:2 @ And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes, and the spirit of God came upon him.

wbs@Numbers:24:3 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

wbs@Numbers:24:4 @ He hath said, who heard the words of God, who saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

wbs@Numbers:24:7 @ He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

wbs@Numbers:24:8 @ God brought him forth from Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

wbs@Numbers:24:9 @ He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall rouse him? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

wbs@Numbers:24:10 @ And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called thee to curse my enemies, and behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.

wbs@Numbers:24:11 @ Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee to great honor; but lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honor.

wbs@Numbers:24:13 @ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

wbs@Numbers:24:14 @ And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, I will advertise thee what this people will do to thy people in the latter days.

wbs@Numbers:24:15 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:

wbs@Numbers:24:19 @ Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.

wbs@Numbers:24:23 @ And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!

wbs@Numbers:25:1 @ And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit lewdness with the daughters of Moab.

wbs@Numbers:25:2 @ And they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods: and the people ate, and bowed down to their gods.

wbs@Numbers:35:3 @ And they shall have the cities to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.

wbs@Numbers:35:4 @ And the suburbs of the cities which ye shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits on all sides.

wbs@Numbers:35:6 @ And among the cities which ye shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the man-slayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.

wbs@Numbers:35:7 @ So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.

wbs@Numbers:35:8 @ And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.

wbs@Numbers:35:9 @ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

wbs@Numbers:35:10 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye have passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;

wbs@Numbers:35:11 @ Then ye shall appoint for you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, who killeth any person at unawares.

wbs@Numbers:35:12 @ And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the man-slayer may not die, until he stands before the congregation in judgment.

wbs@Numbers:35:13 @ And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge.

wbs@Numbers:35:14 @ Ye shall give three cities on this side of Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

wbs@Numbers:35:15 @ These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.

wbs@Numbers:35:16 @ And if he shall smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

wbs@Numbers:35:17 @ And if he shall smite him by throwing a stone, by which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

wbs@Numbers:35:18 @ Or if he shall smite him with a hand-weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he shall die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.

wbs@Numbers:35:19 @ The avenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.

wbs@Numbers:35:20 @ But if he shall thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying in wait, that he die.

wbs@Numbers:35:21 @ Or in enmity shall smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the avenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.

wbs@Numbers:35:22 @ But if he shall thrust him suddenly without enmity, or shall have cast upon him any thing without laying in wait,

wbs@Numbers:35:23 @ Or with any stone, by which a man may die, seeing him not, and shall cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:

wbs@Numbers:35:24 @ Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the avenger of blood according to these judgments:

wbs@Numbers:35:25 @ And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he had fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, who was anointed with the holy oil.

wbs@Numbers:35:27 @ And the avenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood shall kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:

wbs@Numbers:35:28 @ Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.

wbs@Numbers:35:29 @ So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

wbs@Numbers:35:30 @ Whoever killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:5 @ Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot-breadth; because I have given mount Seir to Esau for a possession.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:6 @ Ye shall buy food of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:7 @ For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee: thou hast lacked nothing.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:8 @ And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:9 @ And the LORD said to me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:10 @ (The Emims dwelt in it in times past, a people great, and many, and tall as the Anakims;

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:11 @ Who also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:12 @ The Horims also dwelt formerly in Seir, but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did to the land of his possession, which the LORD gave to them.)

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:13 @ Now rise, said I, and pass over the brook Zered: and we went over the brook Zered.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:14 @ And the space in which we came from Kadesh-barnea, until we passed the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted from among the host, as the LORD swore to them.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:15 @ For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:16 @ So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:17 @ That the LORD spoke to me, saying,

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:18 @ Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:19 @ And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for a possession.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:20 @ (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt in it in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:21 @ A people great, and many, and tall as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:22 @ As he did to the children of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even to this day:

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:23 @ And the Avims who dwelt in Hazerim even to Azzah, the Caphtorims, who came forth from Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:24 @ Arise ye, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thy hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:25 @ This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:26 @ And I sent messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:27 @ Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the highway, I will neither turn to the right hand nor to the left.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:29 @ (As the children of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did to me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:30 @ But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:31 @ And the LORD said to me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:32 @ Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:33 @ And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:34 @ And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones of every city, we left none to remain.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:35 @ Only the cattle we took for a prey to ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:36 @ From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even to Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all to us:

wbs@Deuteronomy:2:37 @ Only to the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor to any place of the river Jabbok, nor to the cities on the mountains, nor to whatever the LORD our God forbad us.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:1 @ Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:2 @ And the LORD said to me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:3 @ So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:4 @ And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:5 @ All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns a great number.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:6 @ And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children of every city.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:7 @ But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:8 @ And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side of Jordan, from the river of Arnon to mount Hermon;

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:9 @ (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:10 @ All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:11 @ For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:12 @ And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:13 @ And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:14 @ Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob, to the borders of Geshuri, and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, to this day.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:16 @ And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon:

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:17 @ The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast of it, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the plain, even the salt-sea, under Ashdoth-pisgah eastward.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:18 @ And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it; ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:20 @ Until the LORD shall have given rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man to his possession which I have given you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:21 @ And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thy eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done to these two kings: so shall the LORD do to all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:22 @ Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:23 @ And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:24 @ O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:25 @ I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:26 @ But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more to me of this matter.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:27 @ Ascend to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thy eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thy eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:28 @ But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

wbs@Deuteronomy:3:29 @ So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:1 @ Now therefore hearken, O Israel, to the statutes and to the judgments, which I teach you, to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:2 @ Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:3 @ Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:4 @ But ye who adhered to the LORD your God, are alive every one of you this day.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:5 @ Behold, I have taught you statutes, and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:6 @ Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which will hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:7 @ For what nation is there so great, which hath God so nigh to them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:8 @ And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:9 @ Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou shouldst forget the things which thy eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them to thy sons, and thy sons' sons:

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:10 @ Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said to me, Assemble the people to me, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:11 @ And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:12 @ And the LORD spoke to you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:13 @ And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:14 @ And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:15 @ Take ye therefore good heed to yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spoke to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:16 @ Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make to you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:19 @ And lest thou shouldst lift up thy eyes to heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldst be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided to all nations under the whole heaven.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:20 @ But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you out of the iron furnace, even from Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:21 @ Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not enter that good land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:24 @ For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:25 @ When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:26 @ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from the land to which ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly destroyed.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:27 @ And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:28 @ And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:29 @ But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:30 @ When thou art in tribulation, and all these things have come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou shalt turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient to his voice;

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:31 @ (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers, which he swore to them.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:32 @ For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven to the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:33 @ Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:34 @ Or hath God essayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by an out-stretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:35 @ To thee it was shown, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none besides him.

wbs@Deuteronomy:4:36 @ Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou heardst his words from the midst of the fire.

wbs@Deuteronomy:5:11 @ Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

wbs@Deuteronomy:5:12 @ Keep the sabbath-day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

wbs@Deuteronomy:5:14 @ But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy ox, nor thy ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:6 @ Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:7 @ Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart from the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:8 @ Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:9 @ When I ascended the mount, to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither ate bread, nor drank water:

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:10 @ And the LORD delivered to me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words which the LORD spoke with you in the mount, from the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:11 @ And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:12 @ And the LORD said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:13 @ Furthermore, the LORD spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people:

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:14 @ Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:15 @ So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:16 @ And I looked, and behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly from the way which the LORD had commanded you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:17 @ And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:18 @ And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread, nor drank water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:19 @ (For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you.) But the LORD hearkened to me at that time also.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:20 @ And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:21 @ And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust of it into the brook that descended from the mount.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:22 @ And at Taberah, and at Massah, and Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:23 @ Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:24 @ Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:25 @ Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:26 @ I prayed therefore to the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thy inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

wbs@Deuteronomy:9:27 @ Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:2 @ And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:3 @ And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and ascended the mount, having the two tables in my hand.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:4 @ And he wrote on the tables according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke to you in the mount, from the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them to me.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:5 @ And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are, as the LORD commanded me.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:6 @ And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jakan to Mosira: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:7 @ From thence they journeyed to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:8 @ At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:9 @ Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:10 @ And I stayed in the mount, according to the first-time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened to me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:11 @ And the LORD said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

wbs@Deuteronomy:10:12 @ And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:24 @ They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:25 @ The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:26 @ I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:27 @ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:28 @ For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:30 @ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:31 @ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges:

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:32 @ For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:33 @ Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:35 @ To me belongeth vengeance, and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:36 @ For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent for his servants: when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:39 @ See now that I, even I am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:47 @ For it is not a vain thing for you: because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:49 @ Ascend this mountain Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan which I give to the children of Israel for a Possession:

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:50 @ And die in the mount whither thou goest, and be gathered to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:51 @ Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

wbs@Deuteronomy:32:52 @ Yet thou shalt see the land before thee, but thou shalt not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:1 @ And this is the with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:2 @ And he said, the LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:3 @ Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:4 @ Moses commanded us a law; even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:8 @ And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:9 @ Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:10 @ They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law; they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thy altar.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:11 @ Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

wbs@Deuteronomy:33:12 @ And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

wbs@Joshua:1:1 @ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, it came to pass, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses's minister, saying,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:1:9 @ Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:1:13 @ Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

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

wbs@Joshua:1:15 @ Until the LORD shall have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side of Jordan towards the sun-rising.

wbs@Joshua:1:16 @ And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us, we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go, view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into the house of a harlot, named Rahab, and lodged there.

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

wbs@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have entered into thy house: for they have come to search out all the country.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

wbs@Joshua:2:8 @ And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof;

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

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

wbs@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

wbs@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by the LORD, since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token:

wbs@Joshua:2:13 @ And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

wbs@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:3:3 @ And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:3:15 @ And as they that bore the ark had come to Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest,)

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

wbs@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 Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had passed quite over Jordan.

wbs@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had quite passed over Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

wbs@Joshua:4:2 @ Take you twelve men from the people, from every tribe a man,

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

wbs@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, of every tribe a man:

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:4:9 @ And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there to this day.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses directed them:

wbs@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

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

wbs@Joshua:4:15 @ And the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,

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

wbs@Joshua:4:17 @ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:4:20 @ And those twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

wbs@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

wbs@Joshua:4:22 @ Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

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

wbs@Joshua:4:24 @ That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

wbs@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

wbs@Joshua:5:5 @ Now all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, them they had not circumcised.

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

wbs@Joshua:5:7 @ And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

wbs@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the same day.

wbs@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

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

wbs@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, No; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant?

wbs@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou standest is holy: and Joshua did so.

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

wbs@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valor.

wbs@Joshua:6:3 @ And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round the city once: thus shalt thou do six days.

wbs@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear-guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

wbs@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed from your mouth, until the day I bid you shout, then shall ye shout.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:6:13 @ And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear-guard came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

wbs@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:6:18 @ And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said to the two men that spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore to her.

wbs@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

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

wbs@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

wbs@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

wbs@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

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

wbs@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

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

wbs@Joshua:7:4 @ So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

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

wbs@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

wbs@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? O that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of Jordan.

wbs@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turn their backs before their enemies!

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

wbs@Joshua:7:10 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, Arise; Why liest thou thus upon thy face?

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

wbs@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be, that he that is taken 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 folly in Israel.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.

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

wbs@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

wbs@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:

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

wbs@Joshua:8:6 @ (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

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

wbs@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.

wbs@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men; and set them to lie in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of the city.

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

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

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

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

wbs@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 Israel.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:21 @ And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again and slew the men of Ai.

wbs@Joshua:8:22 @ And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:25 @ And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

wbs@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua drew not his hand back with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:31 @ As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lifted up any iron: and they offered upon it burnt-offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.

wbs@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings who were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite heard these things,

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

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

wbs@Joshua:9:4 @ They did work craftily, and went and made as if they had been embassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

wbs@Joshua:9:5 @ And old shoes and patched upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.

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

wbs@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

wbs@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said to Joshua, we are thy servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:9:13 @ And these bottles of wine which we filled, were new, and behold, they are rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

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

wbs@Joshua:9:15 @ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them.

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

wbs@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.

wbs@Joshua:9:18 @ And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

wbs@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bond-men, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

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

wbs@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in thy hand: do as it seemeth good and right to thee to do to us,

wbs@Joshua:9:26 @ And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:10:3 @ Wherefore Adoni-zedec king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

wbs@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:10:9 @ Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.

wbs@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.

wbs@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass as they fled from before Israel, and were in the descent to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

wbs@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

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

wbs@Joshua:10:14 @ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

wbs@Joshua:10:15 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

wbs@Joshua:10:16 @ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

wbs@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

wbs@Joshua:10:18 @ And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:10:22 @ Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.

wbs@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

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

wbs@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

wbs@Joshua:10:26 @ And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

wbs@Joshua:10:27 @ And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave in which they had been hid, and laid great stones upon the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

wbs@Joshua:10:29 @ Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

wbs@Joshua:10:30 @ And the LORD delivered it also, and its king, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain in it; but did to the king of it as he did to the king of Jericho.

wbs@Joshua:10:34 @ And from Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

wbs@Joshua:10:35 @ And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

wbs@Joshua:10:37 @ And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that were in them; he left none remaining (according to all that he had done to Eglon) but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were in it.

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

wbs@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

wbs@Joshua:11:3 @ And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

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

wbs@Joshua:11:5 @ And when all these kings were met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

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

wbs@Joshua:11:7 @ So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fell upon them.

wbs@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them to great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left to them none remaining.

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:11:12 @ And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Joshua:11:17 @ Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even to Baal-gad, in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:11:21 @ And at that time came Joshua and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

wbs@Joshua:11:22 @ There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.

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

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

wbs@Joshua:15:6 @ And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

wbs@Joshua:15:7 @ And the border went up towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed towards the waters of En-shemesh, and the borders of it were at En-rogel:

wbs@Joshua:15:12 @ And the west border was to the great sea, and its coast: this is the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families.

wbs@Joshua:15:13 @ And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.

wbs@Joshua:17:15 @ And Joshua answered them, If thou art a great people, then go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

wbs@Joshua:17:16 @ And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

wbs@Joshua:17:17 @ And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

wbs@Joshua:22:10 @ And when they came to the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to the sight.

wbs@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt-offerings, for meat-offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

wbs@Joshua:22:30 @ And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, and heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.

wbs@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:

wbs@Joshua:24:10 @ But I would not hearken to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

wbs@Joshua:24:11 @ And ye went over Jordan, and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand.

wbs@Joshua:24:12 @ And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

wbs@Joshua:24:13 @ And I have given you a land for which ye did not labor, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive-yards which ye planted not do ye eat.

wbs@Joshua:24:14 @ Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

wbs@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seemeth evil to you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

wbs@Joshua:24:16 @ And the people answered, and said, Be it far from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

wbs@Joshua:24:17 @ For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us, and our fathers, out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

wbs@Joshua:24:18 @ And the LORD drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.

wbs@Joshua:24:19 @ And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions, nor your sins.

wbs@Joshua:24:20 @ If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

wbs@Joshua:24:21 @ And the people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve the LORD.

wbs@Joshua:24:22 @ And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

wbs@Joshua:24:23 @ Now therefore put away (said he) the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

wbs@Joshua:24:25 @ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

wbs@Joshua:24:26 @ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

wbs@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us, it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest ye deny your God.

wbs@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance.

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

wbs@Joshua:24:30 @ And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.

wbs@Joshua:24:31 @ And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and who had known all the works of the LORD that he had done for Israel.

wbs@Joshua:24:32 @ And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel brought out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver; and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

wbs@Joshua:24:33 @ And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.

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

wbs@Judges:1:2 @ And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

wbs@Judges:1:3 @ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

wbs@Judges:1:4 @ And Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

wbs@Judges:1:5 @ And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

wbs@Judges:1:6 @ But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

wbs@Judges:1:7 @ And Adoni-bezek said, seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

wbs@Judges:1:8 @ (Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.)

wbs@Judges:1:9 @ And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites that dwelt on the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.

wbs@Judges:1:10 @ And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

wbs@Judges:1:11 @ And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:

wbs@Judges:1:12 @ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.

wbs@Judges:1:13 @ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

wbs@Judges:1:14 @ And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou?

wbs@Judges:1:15 @ And she said to him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

wbs@Judges:1:16 @ And the children of the Kenite, Moses's father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm-trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.

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

wbs@Judges:1:19 @ And the LORD was with Judah; and he drove out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

wbs@Judges:1:20 @ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.

wbs@Judges:1:21 @ And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

wbs@Judges:1:22 @ And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the LORD was with them.

wbs@Judges:1:23 @ And the house of Joseph sent to explore Beth-el. Now the name of the city before was Luz.

wbs@Judges:1:24 @ And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will show thee mercy.

wbs@Judges:1:25 @ And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword: but they let go the man and all his family.

wbs@Judges:1:26 @ And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name of it Luz: which is its name to this day.

wbs@Judges:1:28 @ And it came to pass when Israel was strong, that they subjected the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly expel them.

wbs@Judges:1:29 @ Neither did Ephraim expel the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

wbs@Judges:1:30 @ Neither did Zebulun expel the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.

wbs@Judges:1:31 @ Neither did Asher expel the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:

wbs@Judges:1:33 @ Neither did Naphtali expel the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries to them.

wbs@Judges:1:34 @ And the Amorites forced the children of Dan to the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

wbs@Judges:1:35 @ But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Ajalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.

wbs@Judges:1:36 @ And the border of the Amorites was from the ascent to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.

wbs@Judges:2:1 @ And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to depart from Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

wbs@Judges:2:2 @ And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

wbs@Judges:2:3 @ Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.

wbs@Judges:2:4 @ And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

wbs@Judges:2:5 @ And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there to the LORD.

wbs@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess the land.

wbs@Judges:2:7 @ And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

wbs@Judges:2:8 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.

wbs@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

wbs@Judges:2:10 @ And also all that generation were gathered to their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

wbs@Judges:2:11 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:

wbs@Judges:2:12 @ And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were around them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.

wbs@Judges:2:13 @ And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

wbs@Judges:2:14 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies around, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

wbs@Judges:2:15 @ Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were greatly distressed.

wbs@Judges:2:16 @ Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.

wbs@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they would not hearken to their judges, but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves to them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

wbs@Judges:2:18 @ And when the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: (for the LORD repented because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and burdened them.)

wbs@Judges:2:19 @ And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.

wbs@Judges:2:20 @ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to my voice;

wbs@Judges:2:21 @ I also will not henceforth drive out from before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

wbs@Judges:2:22 @ That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.

wbs@Judges:2:23 @ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out speedily, neither did he deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

wbs@Judges:3:1 @ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, (even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

wbs@Judges:3:2 @ Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it;)

wbs@Judges:3:3 @ Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.

wbs@Judges:3:4 @ And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

wbs@Judges:3:5 @ And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

wbs@Judges:3:6 @ And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

wbs@Judges:3:7 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.

wbs@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.

wbs@Judges:3:9 @ And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

wbs@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.

wbs@Judges:3:11 @ And the land had rest forty years: and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

wbs@Judges:3:12 @ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

wbs@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.

wbs@Judges:3:14 @ So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

wbs@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.

wbs@Judges:3:16 @ But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

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

wbs@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.

wbs@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

wbs@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from his seat.

wbs@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

wbs@Judges:3:22 @ And the haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

wbs@Judges:3:23 @ Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.

wbs@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.

wbs@Judges:3:25 @ And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened them: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.

wbs@Judges:3:26 @ And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.

wbs@Judges:3:27 @ And it came to pass when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

wbs@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, Follow me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan towards Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

wbs@Judges:3:29 @ And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor: and there escaped not a man.

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

wbs@Judges:3:31 @ And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.

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

wbs@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

wbs@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

wbs@Judges:4:4 @ And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

wbs@Judges:4:5 @ And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

wbs@Judges:4:6 @ And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go, and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali, and of the children of Zebulun?

wbs@Judges:4:7 @ And I will draw to thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.

wbs@Judges:4:8 @ And Barak said to her, if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

wbs@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

wbs@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.

wbs@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.

wbs@Judges:4:12 @ And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.

wbs@Judges:4:13 @ And Sisera collected all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.

wbs@Judges:4:14 @ And Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

wbs@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

wbs@Judges:4:16 @ But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.

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

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

wbs@Judges:4:19 @ And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

wbs@Judges:4:20 @ Again he said to her, stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.

wbs@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep, and weary. So he died.

wbs@Judges:4:22 @ And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

wbs@Judges:4:23 @ So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.

wbs@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

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

wbs@Judges:6:5 @ For they came up with their cattle, and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

wbs@Judges:6:6 @ And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried to the LORD.

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

wbs@Judges:6:8 @ That the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth from the house of bondage;

wbs@Judges:6:9 @ And I delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all that oppressed you, and drove them out from before you, and gave you their land;

wbs@Judges:6:10 @ And I said to you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

wbs@Judges:6:11 @ And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained to Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon thrashed wheat by the wine-press, to hide it from the Midianites.

wbs@Judges:6:12 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.

wbs@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, O my Lord, if the LORD is with us, why then hath all this befallen us? and where are all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

wbs@Judges:6:14 @ And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

wbs@Judges:6:15 @ And he said to him, O my Lord, by what means shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

wbs@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

wbs@Judges:6:17 @ And he said to him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.

wbs@Judges:6:18 @ Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come to thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou comest again.

wbs@Judges:6:19 @ And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it.

wbs@Judges:6:20 @ And the angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

wbs@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 fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed from his sight.

wbs@Judges:6:22 @ And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

wbs@Judges:6:23 @ And the LORD said to him, Peace be to thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

wbs@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it Jehovah-shalom: to this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

wbs@Judges:6:25 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:

wbs@Judges:6:26 @ And build an altar to the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

wbs@Judges:6:27 @ Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said to him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

wbs@Judges:6:28 @ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

wbs@Judges:6:29 @ And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

wbs@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said to Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.

wbs@Judges:6:31 @ And Joash said to all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he is a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

wbs@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

wbs@Judges:6:33 @ Then all the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east were assembled, and went over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

wbs@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was called after him.

wbs@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was called after him: and he sent messengers to Asher, and to Zebulun, and to Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

wbs@Judges:6:37 @ Behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the floor; and if the dew shall be on the fleece only, and it shall be dry upon all the earth besides, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said.

wbs@Judges:6:38 @ And it was so: for he rose early on the morrow, and pressed the fleece, and wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowl-full of water.

wbs@Judges:6:39 @ And Gideon said to God, Let not thy anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: Let me make trial, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

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

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

wbs@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, My own hand hath saved me.

wbs@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

wbs@Judges:7:4 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down to the water, and I will try them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say to thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say to thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.

wbs@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought down the people to the water: and the LORD said to Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.

wbs@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.

wbs@Judges:7:7 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, 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 to his place.

wbs@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent of all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. And the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

wbs@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said to him, Arise, go down to the host; for I have delivered it into thy hand.

wbs@Judges:7:10 @ But if thou fearest to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:

wbs@Judges:7:11 @ And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thy hands be strengthened to go down to the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant to the outside of the armed men that were in the host.

wbs@Judges:7:12 @ And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and all the children of the east, lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.

wbs@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon had come, behold, there was a man that told a dream to his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and lo, a cake of barley-bread rolled into the host of Midian, and came to a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it that the tent lay along.

wbs@Judges:7:14 @ And his fellow answered, and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.

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

wbs@Judges:7:16 @ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.

wbs@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, Look on me, and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that as I do, so shall ye do.

wbs@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

wbs@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came to the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

wbs@Judges:7:20 @ And the three companies blew the trumpets, and broke the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow with: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

wbs@Judges:7:21 @ And they stood every man in his place around the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

wbs@Judges:7:22 @ And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zereroth, and to the border of Abel-meholah, to Tabbath.

wbs@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel assembled out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.

wbs@Judges:7:24 @ And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim assembled, and took the waters to Beth-barah and Jordan.

wbs@Judges:7:25 @ And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the wine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of Jordan.

wbs@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said to him, Why hast thou treated us thus, that thou calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chid with him sharply.

wbs@Judges:8:2 @ And he said to them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

wbs@Judges:8:3 @ God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then, when he had said that, their anger towards him abated.

wbs@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.

wbs@Judges:8:5 @ And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me: for they are faint, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

wbs@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy army?

wbs@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.

wbs@Judges:8:8 @ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.

wbs@Judges:8:9 @ And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.

wbs@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.

wbs@Judges:8:11 @ And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.

wbs@Judges:8:12 @ And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

wbs@Judges:8:13 @ And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun had risen,

wbs@Judges:8:14 @ And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he described to him the princes of Succoth, and its elders, even seventy seven men.

wbs@Judges:8:15 @ And he came to the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye upbraided me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we should give bread to thy men that are weary?

wbs@Judges:8:16 @ And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness, and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

wbs@Judges:8:17 @ And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.

wbs@Judges:8:18 @ Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

wbs@Judges:8:19 @ And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

wbs@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his first-born, Arise, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.

wbs@Judges:8:21 @ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

wbs@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.

wbs@Judges:8:23 @ And Gideon said to them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.

wbs@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said to them, I would desire a request of you, that you would give me every man the ear-rings of his prey. (For they had golden ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

wbs@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and cast into it every man the ear-rings of his prey.

wbs@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden ear-rings that he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; besides ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were about their camels' necks.

wbs@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made of it an ephod, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither astray after it: which thing became a snare to Gideon, and to his house.

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

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

wbs@Judges:8:30 @ And Gideon had seventy sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.

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

wbs@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulcher of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

wbs@Judges:8:33 @ And it came to pass as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went astray after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their god.

wbs@Judges:8:34 @ And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side:

wbs@Judges:8:35 @ Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shown to Israel.

wbs@Judges:9:1 @ And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,

wbs@Judges:9:2 @ Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are seventy persons, should reign over you, or that one should reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

wbs@Judges:9:3 @ And his mother's brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.

wbs@Judges:9:4 @ And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech hired vain and light persons, who followed him.

wbs@Judges:9:5 @ And he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being seventy persons, upon one stone; notwithstanding, yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.

wbs@Judges:9:6 @ And all the men of Shechem assembled, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

wbs@Judges:9:7 @ And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken to you.

wbs@Judges:9:8 @ The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive-tree, Reign thou over us.

wbs@Judges:9:9 @ But the olive-tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, with which by me they honor God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

wbs@Judges:9:10 @ And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, and reign over us.

wbs@Judges:9:11 @ But the fig-tree said to them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?

wbs@Judges:9:12 @ Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.

wbs@Judges:9:13 @ And the vine said to them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?

wbs@Judges:9:14 @ Then said all the trees to the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.

wbs@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

wbs@Judges:9:16 @ Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands:

wbs@Judges:9:17 @ (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you from the hand of Midian:

wbs@Judges:9:18 @ And ye have risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother:)

wbs@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him on the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.

wbs@Judges:9:26 @ And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.

wbs@Judges:9:27 @ And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trod the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.

wbs@Judges:9:43 @ And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and behold, the people had come out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.

wbs@Judges:9:49 @ And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them: so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.

wbs@Judges:11:18 @ Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.

wbs@Judges:11:19 @ And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.

wbs@Judges:11:21 @ And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

wbs@Judges:13:16 @ And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, Though thou shouldst detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt-offering, thou must offer it to the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.

wbs@Judges:13:17 @ And Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass, we may do thee honor?

wbs@Judges:13:18 @ And the angel of the LORD said to him, why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?

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

wbs@Ruth:1:9 @ The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

wbs@Ruth:1:10 @ And they said to her, surely we will return with thee to thy people.

wbs@Ruth:1:11 @ And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? shall I bear more sons, that they may be your husbands?

wbs@Ruth:1:13 @ Would ye wait for them till they should be grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes, that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.

wbs@Ruth:1:14 @ And they lifted up their voice, and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved to her.

wbs@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law hath gone back to her people, and to her gods: return thou after thy sister-in-law.

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

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

wbs@Ruth:1:18 @ When she saw that she was steadfastly resolved to go with her, then she left speaking to her.

wbs@Ruth:1:19 @ So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they had come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

wbs@Ruth:1:20 @ And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.

wbs@Ruth:1:21 @ I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?

wbs@Ruth:1:22 @ So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley-harvest.

wbs@Ruth:2:1 @ And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

wbs@Ruth:2:2 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

wbs@Ruth:2:3 @ And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her lot was to light on a part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

wbs@Ruth:2:4 @ And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.

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

wbs@Ruth:2:6 @ And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country of Moab:

wbs@Ruth:2:7 @ And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

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

wbs@Ruth:2:9 @ Let thy eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

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

wbs@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and hast come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

wbs@Ruth:2:12 @ The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.

wbs@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like to one of thy handmaidens.

wbs@Ruth:2:14 @ And Boaz said to her, At meal-time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.

wbs@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

wbs@Ruth:2:16 @ And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

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

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

wbs@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou labored? blessed be he that took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.

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

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

wbs@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou shouldst go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

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

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

wbs@Ruth:3:2 @ And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to-night in the threshing-floor.

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

wbs@Ruth:3:4 @ And it shall be when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Ruth:3:9 @ And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

wbs@Ruth:3:10 @ And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not follow young men, whether poor or rich.

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

wbs@Ruth:3:12 @ And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Ruth:3:18 @ Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day.

wbs@Ruth:4:1 @ Then Boaz went up to the gate, and sat down there: and behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

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

wbs@Ruth:4:3 @ And he said to the kinsman, Naomi, that has come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

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

wbs@Ruth:4:5 @ Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

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

wbs@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for confirming all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel.

wbs@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore the kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for thyself. So he drew off his shoe.

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

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

wbs@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that hath come into thy house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:

wbs@Ruth:4:12 @ And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

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

wbs@Ruth:4:14 @ And the women said to Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, who hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

wbs@Ruth:4:15 @ And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thy old age: for thy daughter-in-law, who loveth thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.

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

wbs@Ruth:4:17 @ And the women, her neighbors, gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

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

wbs@Ruth:4:19 @ And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

wbs@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:5 @ But to Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah; but the LORD had rendered her barren.

wbs@1Samuel:1:6 @ And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had made her barren.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:9 @ So Hannah rose after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drank. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:13 @ Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:15 @ And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drank neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:1:16 @ Count not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.

wbs@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

wbs@1Samuel:1:18 @ And she said, Let thy handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:20 @ Wherefore it came to pass, when the time had arrived, after Hannah had conceived, that she bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:23 @ And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what seemeth to thee good; tarry until thou hast weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and nursed her son until she weaned him.

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:1 @ And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

wbs@1Samuel:2:2 @ There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none besides thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

wbs@1Samuel:2:3 @ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

wbs@1Samuel:2:4 @ The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

wbs@1Samuel:2:5 @ They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children is become feeble.

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:7 @ The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:9 @ He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:11 @ And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

wbs@1Samuel:2:12 @ Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if any man said to him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, No; but thou shalt give it to me now: and if not, I will take it by force.

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:18 @ But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:21 @ And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD'S people to transgress.

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

wbs@1Samuel:2:26 @ And the child Samuel continued to grow, and was in favor both with the LORD, and also with men.

wbs@1Samuel:2:27 @ And there came a man of God to Eli, and said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear to the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

wbs@1Samuel:2:28 @ And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give to the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?

wbs@1Samuel:2:29 @ Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honorest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?

wbs@1Samuel:2:30 @ Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

wbs@1Samuel:2:31 @ Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.

wbs@1Samuel:2:32 @ And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.

wbs@1Samuel:2:33 @ And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from my altar, shall be to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy heart: and all the increase of thy house shall die in the flower of their age.

wbs@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this shall be a sign to thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.

wbs@1Samuel:2:35 @ And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in my heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before my Anointed for ever.

wbs@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house, shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priest's offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.

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

wbs@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to grow dim, that he could not see;

wbs@1Samuel:3:3 @ And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

wbs@1Samuel:3:4 @ That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.

wbs@1Samuel:3:5 @ And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.

wbs@1Samuel:3:6 @ And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

wbs@1Samuel:3:7 @ Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed to him.

wbs@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.

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

wbs@1Samuel:3:10 @ And the LORD came, and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

wbs@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.

wbs@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.

wbs@1Samuel:3:13 @ For I have told him, that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knoweth: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

wbs@1Samuel:3:14 @ And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

wbs@1Samuel:3:15 @ And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD: and Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.

wbs@1Samuel:3:16 @ Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.

wbs@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said to thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou shalt hide any thing from me, of all the things that he said to thee.

wbs@1Samuel:3:18 @ And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.

wbs@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:3:21 @ And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

wbs@1Samuel:4:2 @ And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.

wbs@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why hath the LORD smitten us to-day before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh to us, that when it cometh among us, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.

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

wbs@1Samuel:11:14 @ Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

wbs@1Samuel:11:15 @ And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal: and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

wbs@1Samuel:12:1 @ And Samuel said to all Israel, behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.

wbs@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and gray-headed; and behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood to this day.

wbs@1Samuel:12:3 @ Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before 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 bribe to blind my eyes with it? and I will restore it you.

wbs@1Samuel:12:4 @ And they said thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught from any man's hand.

wbs@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said to them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

wbs@1Samuel:12:6 @ And Samuel said to the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.

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

wbs@1Samuel:12:8 @ When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, who brought forth your fathers from Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.

wbs@1Samuel:12:9 @ And when they forgot the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.

wbs@1Samuel:12:10 @ And they cried to the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.

wbs@1Samuel:12:11 @ And the LORD sent Jerubbaal and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you from the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelt safe.

wbs@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, No; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.

wbs@1Samuel:12:13 @ Now therefore, behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:12:16 @ Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.

wbs@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call to the LORD, and he will send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.

wbs@1Samuel:12:18 @ So Samuel called to the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.

wbs@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for thy servants to the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.

wbs@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;

wbs@1Samuel:12:21 @ And turn ye not aside: for then would ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

wbs@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

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

wbs@1Samuel:12:24 @ Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

wbs@1Samuel:13:1 @ Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

wbs@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.

wbs@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba; and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.

wbs@1Samuel:13:4 @ And all Israel heard it said that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines: and the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.

wbs@1Samuel:13:5 @ And the Philistines assembled 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 Beth-aven.

wbs@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed) then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.

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

wbs@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 scattered from him.

wbs@1Samuel:13:9 @ And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt-offering to me, and peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering.

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

wbs@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled at Michmash;

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:13:15 @ And Samuel arose, and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.

wbs@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

wbs@1Samuel:13:17 @ And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leadeth to Ophrah, to the land of Shual:

wbs@1Samuel:13:18 @ And another company turned the way to Beth-horon: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim towards the wilderness.

wbs@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: (for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:)

wbs@1Samuel:13:20 @ But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his colter, and his ax, and his mattock.

wbs@1Samuel:13:21 @ Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the colters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.

wbs@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came to pass in 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 with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.

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

wbs@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.

wbs@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;

wbs@1Samuel:14:3 @ And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, I-chabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

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

wbs@1Samuel:14:5 @ The front of the one was situated northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:14:8 @ Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over to these men, and we will discover ourselves to them.

wbs@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.

wbs@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand; and this shall be a sign to us.

wbs@1Samuel:14:11 @ And both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.

wbs@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor-bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.

wbs@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor-bearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor-bearer slew after him.

wbs@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

wbs@1Samuel:14:16 @ And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.

wbs@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then said Saul to the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor-bearer were not there.

wbs@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.

wbs@1Samuel:14:19 @ And it came to pass while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on, and increased: and Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.

wbs@1Samuel:14:20 @ And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.

wbs@1Samuel:14:21 @ Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the country around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.

wbs@1Samuel:14:22 @ Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.

wbs@1Samuel:14:23 @ So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over to Beth-aven.

wbs@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.

wbs@1Samuel:14:25 @ And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

wbs@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.

wbs@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in a honey-comb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.

wbs@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.

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

wbs@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to-day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

wbs@1Samuel:14:31 @ And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Ajalon: and the people were very faint.

wbs@1Samuel:14:32 @ And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.

wbs@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone to me this day.

wbs@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.

wbs@1Samuel:14:35 @ And Saul built an altar to the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built to the LORD:

wbs@1Samuel:14:36 @ And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seemeth good to thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither to God.

wbs@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 that day.

wbs@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, Draw ye near hither all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.

wbs@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as the LORD liveth, who saveth Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.

wbs@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then said he to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seemeth good to thee.

wbs@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said to the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.

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

wbs@1Samuel:14:45 @ And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? By no means: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.

wbs@1Samuel:14:46 @ Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.

wbs@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he harassed them.

wbs@1Samuel:14:48 @ And he gathered a host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of them that spoiled them.

wbs@1Samuel:14:49 @ Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-shua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the first-born Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:

wbs@1Samuel:14:50 @ And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

wbs@1Samuel:14:51 @ And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

wbs@1Samuel:14:52 @ And there was violent war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him to himself.

wbs@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, the LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou to the voice of the words of the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.

wbs@1Samuel:15:3 @ Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.

wbs@1Samuel:15:4 @ And Saul assembled the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.

wbs@1Samuel:15:5 @ And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.

wbs@1Samuel:15:6 @ And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, withdraw yourselves from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up from Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

wbs@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah, until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.

wbs@1Samuel:15:8 @ And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.

wbs@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.

wbs@1Samuel:15:10 @ Then came the word of the LORD to Samuel, saying,

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

wbs@1Samuel:15:12 @ And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a place, and has gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.

wbs@1Samuel:15:13 @ And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said to him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:15:14 @ And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

wbs@1Samuel:15:15 @ And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

wbs@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.

wbs@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thy own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?

wbs@1Samuel:15:18 @ And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.

wbs@1Samuel:15:19 @ Why then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?

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

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

wbs@1Samuel:15:24 @ And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words; because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.

wbs@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.

wbs@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned about to depart, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.

wbs@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said to him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbor of thine, that is better than thou.

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

wbs@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, I have sinned: yet honor me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.

wbs@1Samuel:15:31 @ So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshiped the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came to him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.

wbs@1Samuel:15:33 @ And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

wbs@1Samuel:15:34 @ Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.

wbs@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.

wbs@1Samuel:16:1 @ And the LORD said to Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

wbs@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul shall hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.

wbs@1Samuel:16:3 @ And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint to me him whom I name to thee.

wbs@1Samuel:16:4 @ And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Beth-lehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?

wbs@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, Peaceably: I have come to sacrifice to the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

wbs@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it came to pass when they had come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him.

wbs@1Samuel:16:7 @ But the LORD said to Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the hight of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

wbs@1Samuel:16:8 @ Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

wbs@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.

wbs@1Samuel:16:10 @ Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.

wbs@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and bring him: for we will not sit down till he hath come hither.

wbs@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and also of a beautiful countenance, and a good appearance. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.

wbs@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose, and went to Ramah.

wbs@1Samuel:16:14 @ But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.

wbs@1Samuel:16:15 @ And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.

wbs@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our lord now command thy servants, who are before thee, to seek a man who is a skillful player on a harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he will play with his hand, and thou wilt be well.

wbs@1Samuel:16:18 @ Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Beth-lehemite, that is skillful in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.

wbs@1Samuel:16:19 @ Wherefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send to me David thy son, who is with the sheep.

wbs@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son to Saul.

wbs@1Samuel:16:21 @ And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armor-bearer.

wbs@1Samuel:16:22 @ And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favor in my sight.

wbs@1Samuel:16:23 @ And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took a harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

wbs@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines collected their armies to battle, and were assembled at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and encamped between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

wbs@1Samuel:17:2 @ And Saul and the men of Israel were assembled and encamped by the valley of Elah, and they set the battle in array against the Philistines.

wbs@1Samuel:17:3 @ And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

wbs@1Samuel:17:9 @ If he shall be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I shall prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.

wbs@1Samuel:17:26 @ And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

wbs@1Samuel:19:2 @ But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now, therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

wbs@1Samuel:19:3 @ And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

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

wbs@1Samuel:19:5 @ For he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: Why then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?

wbs@1Samuel:19:20 @ And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

wbs@1Samuel:19:21 @ And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

wbs@1Samuel:20:3 @ And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

wbs@1Samuel:20:4 @ Then said Jonathan to David, Whatever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.

wbs@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said to Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new-moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

wbs@1Samuel:20:6 @ If thy father shall at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me, that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

wbs@1Samuel:20:7 @ If he shall say thus, It is well; thy servant will have peace: but if he shall be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.

wbs@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there is in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldst thou bring me to thy father?

wbs@1Samuel:20:9 @ And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil is determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?

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

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

wbs@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to-morrow any time, or the third day, and behold, if there be good towards David, and I then send not to thee, and show it thee;

wbs@1Samuel:20:13 @ The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it shall please my father to do thee evil, then I will show it to thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.

wbs@1Samuel:20:14 @ And thou shalt, not only while yet I live, show me the kindness of the LORD, that I may not die:

wbs@1Samuel:20:15 @ But also thou shalt not withdraw thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.

wbs@1Samuel:20:16 @ So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.

wbs@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

wbs@1Samuel:20:18 @ Then Jonathan said to David, To-morrow is the new-moon: and thou wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.

wbs@1Samuel:20:19 @ And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.

wbs@1Samuel:20:20 @ And I will shoot three arrows on the side of it, as though I shot at a mark.

wbs@1Samuel:20:21 @ And behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I expressly say to the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.

wbs@1Samuel:20:22 @ But if I say thus to the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.

wbs@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as to the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.

wbs@1Samuel:20:24 @ So David hid himself in the field: and when the new-moon had come, the king sat down to eat food.

wbs@1Samuel:20:25 @ And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.

wbs@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.

wbs@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why cometh not the son of Jesse to eat, neither yesterday, nor to-day?

wbs@1Samuel:20:28 @ And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem:

wbs@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother he hath commanded me to be there: and now if I have found favor in thy eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not to the king's table.

wbs@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thy own confusion, and to the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?

wbs@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.

wbs@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why shall he be slain? what hath he done?

wbs@1Samuel:20:33 @ And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to slay David.

wbs@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.

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

wbs@1Samuel:20:36 @ And he said to his lad, Run, find now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow, beyond him.

wbs@1Samuel:20:37 @ And when the lad had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?

wbs@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.

wbs@1Samuel:20:39 @ But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.

wbs@1Samuel:20:40 @ And Jonathan gave his arms to his lad, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.

wbs@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place towards the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.

wbs@1Samuel:20:42 @ And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.

wbs@1Samuel:21:1 @ Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

wbs@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

wbs@1Samuel:21:3 @ Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or what there is present.

wbs@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

wbs@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yes, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

wbs@1Samuel:21:6 @ So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the show-bread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

wbs@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

wbs@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.

wbs@1Samuel:21:9 @ And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me.

wbs@1Samuel:21:10 @ And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

wbs@1Samuel:24:4 @ And the men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to thee, Behold, I will deliver thy enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. Then David arose, and privately cut off the skirt of Saul's robe.

wbs@1Samuel:24:5 @ And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.

wbs@1Samuel:24:10 @ Behold, this day thy eyes have seen how the LORD hath delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill thee: but my eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.

wbs@1Samuel:24:11 @ Moreover, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

wbs@1Samuel:24:12 @ The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.

wbs@1Samuel:24:16 @ And it came to pass when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

wbs@1Samuel:24:17 @ And he said to David, thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded thee with evil.

wbs@1Samuel:24:18 @ And thou hast showed this day how thou hast dealt with me; forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.

wbs@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man findeth his enemy, will he let him go away well? wherefore the LORD reward thee with good, for what thou hast done to me this day.

wbs@1Samuel:25:1 @ And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

wbs@1Samuel:25:2 @ And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

wbs@1Samuel:25:3 @ Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.

wbs@1Samuel:25:4 @ And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

wbs@1Samuel:25:5 @ And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:

wbs@1Samuel:25:6 @ And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast.

wbs@1Samuel:25:7 @ And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel.

wbs@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let the young men find favor in thy eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatever cometh to thy hand, to thy servants, and to thy son David.

wbs@1Samuel:25:9 @ And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal in the name of David, according to all these words, and ceased.

wbs@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants in these days that break away every man from his master.

wbs@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men, whom I know not whence they are?

wbs@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all these sayings.

wbs@1Samuel:25:13 @ And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the goods.

wbs@1Samuel:25:14 @ But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed at them.

wbs@1Samuel:25:15 @ But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:

wbs@1Samuel:25:16 @ They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.

wbs@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do: for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.

wbs@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.

wbs@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.

wbs@1Samuel:25:20 @ And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and behold, David and his men came down over against her; and she met them.

wbs@1Samuel:25:21 @ (Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this man hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him: and he hath requited me evil for good.

wbs@1Samuel:25:22 @ So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any male person.)

wbs@1Samuel:25:23 @ And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.

wbs@1Samuel:25:24 @ And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thy audience, and hear the words of thy handmaid.

wbs@1Samuel:25:25 @ Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal; for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.

wbs@1Samuel:25:26 @ Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withheld thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thy own hand, now let thy enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

wbs@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this blessing which thy handmaid hath brought to my lord, let it even be given to the young men that follow my lord.

wbs@1Samuel:25:28 @ I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thy handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

wbs@1Samuel:25:29 @ Yet a man hath risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thy enemies, them shall he sling out, as from the middle of a sling.

wbs@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it will come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;

wbs@1Samuel:25:31 @ That this will be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.

wbs@1Samuel:25:32 @ And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me:

wbs@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with my own hand.

wbs@1Samuel:25:34 @ For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, who hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any male person.

wbs@1Samuel:25:35 @ So David received from her hand that which she had brought him, and said to her, Return in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.

wbs@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.

wbs@2Samuel:11:4 @ And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in to him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned to her house.

wbs@2Samuel:11:6 @ And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

wbs@2Samuel:11:7 @ And when Uriah had come to him, David inquired of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.

wbs@2Samuel:11:8 @ And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.

wbs@2Samuel:11:9 @ But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

wbs@2Samuel:11:10 @ And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down to his house, David said to Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down to thy house?

wbs@2Samuel:11:11 @ And Uriah said to David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

wbs@2Samuel:11:12 @ And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to-day also, and to-morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day and the morrow.

wbs@2Samuel:11:13 @ And when David had called him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk: and at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.

wbs@2Samuel:11:16 @ And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that valiant men were.

wbs@2Samuel:11:17 @ And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

wbs@2Samuel:11:18 @ Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;

wbs@2Samuel:11:19 @ And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war to the king,

wbs@2Samuel:11:20 @ And if the king's wrath shall rise, and he shall say to thee, Why approached ye so nigh to the city for the fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?

wbs@2Samuel:11:21 @ Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

wbs@2Samuel:11:22 @ So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that Joab had sent him for.

wbs@2Samuel:11:23 @ And the messenger said to David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out to us into the field, and we were upon them even to the entrance of the gate.

wbs@2Samuel:11:24 @ And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants: and some of the king's servants are dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

wbs@2Samuel:11:25 @ Then David said to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.

wbs@2Samuel:11:26 @ And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.

wbs@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when the mourning was past, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife, and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

wbs@2Samuel:12:1 @ And the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.

wbs@2Samuel:12:2 @ The rich man had very numerous flocks and herds:

wbs@2Samuel:12:3 @ But the poor man had nothing save one little ewe-lamb, which he had bought and nourished: and it grew up together with him, and with his children: it fed of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.

wbs@2Samuel:12:4 @ And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the way-faring man that had come to him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that had come to him.

wbs@2Samuel:12:6 @ And he shall restore the lamb four-fold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.

wbs@2Samuel:12:7 @ And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee from the hand of Saul;

wbs@2Samuel:12:8 @ And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given to thee such and such things.

wbs@2Samuel:12:9 @ Why hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

wbs@2Samuel:12:10 @ Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.

wbs@2Samuel:12:11 @ Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thy own house, and I will take thy wives before thy eyes, and give them to thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.

wbs@2Samuel:12:13 @ And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said to David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

wbs@2Samuel:12:14 @ But, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to thee shall surely die.

wbs@2Samuel:12:15 @ And Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.

wbs@2Samuel:12:19 @ But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

wbs@2Samuel:12:20 @ Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshiped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.

wbs@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then said his servants to him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but after the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

wbs@2Samuel:12:22 @ And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted, and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

wbs@2Samuel:12:26 @ And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.

wbs@2Samuel:12:27 @ And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

wbs@2Samuel:12:28 @ Now therefore collect the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.

wbs@2Samuel:12:29 @ And David collected all the people, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.

wbs@2Samuel:12:30 @ And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight of which was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.

wbs@2Samuel:13:5 @ And Jonadab said to him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say to him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me food, and dress the food in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

wbs@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down and made himself sick: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make for me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.

wbs@2Samuel:13:7 @ Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress meat for him.

wbs@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.

wbs@2Samuel:13:9 @ And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.

wbs@2Samuel:13:10 @ And Amnon said to Tamar, Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat from thy hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

wbs@2Samuel:13:11 @ And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

wbs@2Samuel:13:12 @ And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.

wbs@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou wilt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

wbs@2Samuel:13:14 @ Howbeit, he would not hearken to her voice: but being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

wbs@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise, be gone.

wbs@2Samuel:13:16 @ And she said to him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst to me. But he would not hearken to her.

wbs@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he called his servant that ministered to him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.

wbs@2Samuel:13:18 @ And she had a garment of divers colors upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins appareled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.

wbs@2Samuel:13:19 @ And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colors that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.

wbs@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.

wbs@2Samuel:13:21 @ But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.

wbs@2Samuel:13:22 @ And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.

wbs@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

wbs@2Samuel:13:25 @ And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable to thee. And he pressed him: yet he would not go, but blessed him.

wbs@2Samuel:13:26 @ Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?

wbs@2Samuel:13:27 @ But Absalom pressed him that he should let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.

wbs@2Samuel:13:28 @ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have I not commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

wbs@2Samuel:13:29 @ And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man rode upon his mule, and fled.

wbs@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that information came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.

wbs@2Samuel:13:31 @ Then the king arose, and tore his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.

wbs@2Samuel:13:32 @ And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

wbs@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.

wbs@2Samuel:13:34 @ But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came many people by the way of the hillside behind him.

wbs@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons come; as thy servant said, so it is.

wbs@2Samuel:13:36 @ And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept exceedingly.

wbs@2Samuel:13:39 @ And the soul of king David longed to go forth to Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.

wbs@2Samuel:14:1 @ Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was towards Absalom.

wbs@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Joab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:

wbs@2Samuel:14:3 @ And come to the king, and speak in this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.

wbs@2Samuel:14:4 @ And when the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.

wbs@2Samuel:14:5 @ And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and my husband is dead.

wbs@2Samuel:14:6 @ And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other and slew him.

wbs@2Samuel:14:7 @ And behold, the whole family hath risen against thy handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they will quench my coal which is left, and will not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.

wbs@2Samuel:14:8 @ And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.

wbs@2Samuel:14:9 @ And the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.

wbs@2Samuel:14:13 @ And the woman said, Why then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one who is faulty, in that the king doth not bring home again his banished.

wbs@2Samuel:14:14 @ For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.

wbs@2Samuel:14:15 @ Now therefore that I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.

wbs@2Samuel:14:16 @ For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

wbs@2Samuel:14:20 @ To bring about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are on the earth.

wbs@1Kings:2:23 @ Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah hath not spoken this word against his own life.

wbs@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Depart to Anathoth, to thy own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.

wbs@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

wbs@1Kings:2:33 @ Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace forever from the LORD.

wbs@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

wbs@1Kings:3:8 @ And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

wbs@1Kings:3:9 @ Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

wbs@1Kings:3:10 @ And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.

wbs@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thy enemies: but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

wbs@1Kings:6:19 @ And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

wbs@1Kings:6:20 @ And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the hight of it, and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.

wbs@1Kings:6:21 @ So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

wbs@1Kings:6:22 @ And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.

wbs@1Kings:6:23 @ And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.

wbs@1Kings:6:24 @ And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

wbs@1Kings:6:25 @ And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubim were of one measure and one size.

wbs@1Kings:6:26 @ The hight of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.

wbs@1Kings:6:27 @ And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched 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 touched one another in the midst of the house.

wbs@1Kings:6:28 @ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

wbs@1Kings:6:29 @ And he carved all the walls of the house around with carved figures of cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers, within and without.

wbs@1Kings:6:30 @ And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

wbs@1Kings:6:31 @ And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side-posts were a fifth part of the wall.

wbs@1Kings:6:32 @ The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees.

wbs@1Kings:6:33 @ So also he made for the door of the temple posts of olive tree a fourth part of the wall.

wbs@1Kings:6:34 @ And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

wbs@1Kings:6:35 @ And he carved thereon cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers; and covered them with gold, fitted upon the carved work.

wbs@1Kings:6:36 @ And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.

wbs@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:

wbs@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul (which is the eighth month) was the house finished throughout all its parts, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

wbs@1Kings:7:1 @ But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

wbs@1Kings:7:2 @ He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its breadth fifty cubits, and its hight thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

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

wbs@1Kings:7:4 @ And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.

wbs@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.

wbs@1Kings:7:6 @ And he made a porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its breadth thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beams were before them.

wbs@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

wbs@1Kings:7:8 @ And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had married, like to this porch.

wbs@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewn stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside towards the great court.

wbs@1Kings:7:10 @ And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones; stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

wbs@1Kings:7:11 @ And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewn stones, and cedars.

wbs@1Kings:7:12 @ And the great court around was with three rows of hewn stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

wbs@1Kings:7:14 @ He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and ingenious to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

wbs@1Kings:7:15 @ For he cast two pillars of brass, each of eighteen cubits high: and a line of twelve cubits did encompass each of them.

wbs@1Kings:7:16 @ And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the hight of the one capital was five cubits, and the hight of the other capital was five cubits:

wbs@1Kings:7:17 @ And nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

wbs@1Kings:7:18 @ And he made the pillars, and two rows around upon the one net-work, to cover the capitals that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so he did for the other capital.

wbs@1Kings:7:19 @ And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily-work in the porch, four cubits.

wbs@1Kings:7:20 @ And the capitals upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the net-work: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows around upon the other capital.

wbs@1Kings:7:21 @ And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called its name Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called its name Boaz.

wbs@1Kings:7:22 @ And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

wbs@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was entirely round, and its hight was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it.

wbs@1Kings:7:24 @ And under the brim of it around there were knobs compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea around: the knobs were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

wbs@1Kings:7:25 @ It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

wbs@1Kings:7:26 @ And it was a hand-breadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

wbs@1Kings:7:27 @ And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the hight of it.

wbs@1Kings:7:28 @ And the work of the bases was in this manner: They had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

wbs@1Kings:7:29 @ And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

wbs@1Kings:7:30 @ And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners of it had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

wbs@1Kings:7:31 @ And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth of it was round after the work of the base, a cubit and a half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

wbs@1Kings:7:32 @ And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the hight of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

wbs@1Kings:7:33 @ And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their fellies, and their spokes, were all molten.

wbs@1Kings:7:34 @ And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.

wbs@1Kings:7:35 @ And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base its ledges and its borders were of the same.

wbs@1Kings:7:36 @ For on the plates of its ledges, and on its borders, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions around.

wbs@1Kings:7:37 @ After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

wbs@1Kings:7:38 @ Then he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.

wbs@1Kings:7:39 @ And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

wbs@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 executed for king Solomon for the house of the LORD:

wbs@1Kings:7:41 @ The two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two net-works, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars;

wbs@1Kings:7:42 @ And four hundred pomegranates for the two net-works, even two rows of pomegranates for one net-work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars;

wbs@1Kings:7:43 @ And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;

wbs@1Kings:7:44 @ And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

wbs@1Kings:7:45 @ And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.

wbs@1Kings:7:46 @ In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.

wbs@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were very numerous: neither was the weight of the brass ascertained.

wbs@1Kings:7:48 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which was the show-bread,

wbs@1Kings:7:49 @ And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

wbs@1Kings:7:50 @ And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

wbs@1Kings:7:51 @ So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, he placed among the treasures of the house of the LORD.

wbs@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

wbs@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

wbs@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

wbs@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring.

wbs@1Kings:8:5 @ And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

wbs@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

wbs@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staffs thereof above.

wbs@1Kings:8:8 @ And they drew out the staffs, that the ends of the staffs were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are to this day.

wbs@1Kings:8:9 @ There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses deposited there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

wbs@1Kings:8:10 @ And it came to pass, when the priests had come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

wbs@1Kings:8:11 @ So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

wbs@1Kings:8:12 @ Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

wbs@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built thee a house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.

wbs@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel were standing.

wbs@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

wbs@1Kings:8:16 @ Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel from Egypt, I have chosen no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

wbs@1Kings:8:17 @ And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@1Kings:8:18 @ And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart.

wbs@1Kings:8:19 @ Nevertheless, thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house to my name.

wbs@1Kings:8:20 @ And the LORD hath performed his word that he spoke, and I have risen in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@1Kings:8:21 @ And I have set there a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them from the land of Egypt.

wbs@1Kings:8:22 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards Heaven:

wbs@1Kings:8:23 @ And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart.

wbs@1Kings:8:24 @ Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: thou didst speak also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.

wbs@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; provided thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

wbs@1Kings:8:26 @ And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou didst speak to thy servant David my father.

wbs@1Kings:8:27 @ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?

wbs@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:

wbs@1Kings:8:29 @ That thy eyes may be open towards this house night and day, even towards the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall make towards this place.

wbs@1Kings:8:30 @ And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray towards this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

wbs@1Kings:8:31 @ If any man shall trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house:

wbs@1Kings:8:32 @ Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

wbs@1Kings:8:33 @ When thy people Israel shall be smitten before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication to thee in this house:

wbs@1Kings:8:34 @ Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.

wbs@1Kings:8:35 @ When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray towards this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

wbs@1Kings:8:36 @ Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou mayest teach them the good way in which they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.

wbs@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

wbs@1Kings:8:64 @ The same day did the king consecrate the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt-offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

wbs@1Kings:8:65 @ And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entrance into Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

wbs@1Kings:10:7 @ Howbeit, I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

wbs@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore he made thee king, to do judgment and justice.

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

wbs@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug-trees, nor have they been seen to this day.

wbs@1Kings:12:4 @ Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

wbs@1Kings:12:5 @ And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

wbs@1Kings:12:6 @ And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

wbs@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant to this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

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

wbs@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

wbs@1Kings:12:10 @ And the young men that had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak to this people who spoke to thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter to us; thus shalt thou say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.

wbs@1Kings:12:11 @ And now whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

wbs@1Kings:12:14 @ And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

wbs@1Kings:12:15 @ Wherefore the king hearkened not to the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

wbs@1Kings:12:16 @ So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thy own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.

wbs@1Kings:12:17 @ But as for the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

wbs@1Kings:12:18 @ Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to enter his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

wbs@1Kings:12:29 @ And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other he placed in Dan.

wbs@1Kings:12:30 @ And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even to Dan.

wbs@1Kings:12:31 @ And he made a house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

wbs@1Kings:14:22 @ And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.

wbs@1Kings:14:23 @ For they also built for themselves high places, and images and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

wbs@1Kings:14:24 @ And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

wbs@1Kings:14:25 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:

wbs@1Kings:14:26 @ And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all; and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

wbs@1Kings:14:27 @ And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

wbs@1Kings:14:28 @ And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.

wbs@1Kings:14:31 @ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@1Kings:15:1 @ Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.

wbs@1Kings:15:2 @ Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

wbs@1Kings:15:3 @ And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.

wbs@1Kings:15:4 @ Nevertheless, for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

wbs@1Kings:15:9 @ And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.

wbs@1Kings:15:10 @ And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.

wbs@1Kings:15:11 @ And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.

wbs@1Kings:15:12 @ And he banished the sodomites from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

wbs@1Kings:15:13 @ And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.

wbs@1Kings:15:15 @ And he brought the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.

wbs@1Kings:15:16 @ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

wbs@1Kings:15:17 @ And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

wbs@1Kings:15:18 @ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

wbs@1Kings:15:19 @ There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent to thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

wbs@1Kings:16:8 @ In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.

wbs@1Kings:16:9 @ And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.

wbs@1Kings:16:23 @ In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.

wbs@1Kings:16:24 @ And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.

wbs@1Kings:16:30 @ And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.

wbs@1Kings:16:31 @ And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshiped him.

wbs@1Kings:16:32 @ And he erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

wbs@1Kings:16:33 @ And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

wbs@1Kings:16:34 @ In his days Hiel the Beth-elite built Jericho: he laid the foundation of it in Abiram his first-born, and set up the gates of it in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.

wbs@1Kings:17:1 @ And Elijah the Tishbite who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

wbs@1Kings:17:2 @ And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

wbs@1Kings:17:3 @ Depart hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

wbs@1Kings:17:4 @ And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

wbs@1Kings:17:6 @ And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

wbs@1Kings:17:7 @ And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.

wbs@1Kings:17:8 @ And the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

wbs@1Kings:17:9 @ Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

wbs@1Kings:17:10 @ So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

wbs@1Kings:17:11 @ And as she was going to bring it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thy hand.

wbs@1Kings:17:12 @ And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.

wbs@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it to me, and afterward make for thee and for thy son.

wbs@1Kings:17:14 @ For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

wbs@1Kings:17:15 @ And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.

wbs@1Kings:17:16 @ And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke by Elijah.

wbs@1Kings:17:17 @ And it came to pass after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so severe, that there was no breath left in him.

wbs@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come to me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?

wbs@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.

wbs@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?

wbs@1Kings:17:21 @ And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried to the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.

wbs@1Kings:17:22 @ And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

wbs@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down from the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.

wbs@1Kings:17:24 @ And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

wbs@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

wbs@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And there was a grievous famine in Samaria.

wbs@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah who was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:

wbs@1Kings:18:4 @ For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

wbs@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go into the land, to all fountains of water, and to all brooks: it may be we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

wbs@1Kings:18:6 @ So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

wbs@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?

wbs@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

wbs@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab to slay me?

wbs@1Kings:18:10 @ As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation nor kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.

wbs@1Kings:18:11 @ And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

wbs@1Kings:18:12 @ And it will come to pass, as soon as I have gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.

wbs@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

wbs@1Kings:18:14 @ And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he will slay me.

wbs@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him to-day.

wbs@1Kings:18:17 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

wbs@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.

wbs@1Kings:18:19 @ Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.

wbs@1Kings:18:20 @ So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets to mount Carmel.

wbs@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

wbs@1Kings:18:22 @ Then said Elijah to the people, I even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophet's are four hundred and fifty men.

wbs@1Kings:18:23 @ Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

wbs@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

wbs@1Kings:18:27 @ And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

wbs@1Kings:18:28 @ And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.

wbs@1Kings:18:29 @ And it came to pass, when mid-day was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

wbs@1Kings:18:30 @ And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

wbs@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

wbs@1Kings:18:32 @ And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

wbs@1Kings:18:33 @ And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt-sacrifice, and on the wood.

wbs@1Kings:18:34 @ And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

wbs@1Kings:18:35 @ And the water ran around the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

wbs@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

wbs@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.

wbs@1Kings:18:38 @ Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt-sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

wbs@1Kings:18:39 @ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

wbs@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

wbs@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

wbs@2Kings:4:37 @ Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

wbs@2Kings:4:38 @ And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

wbs@2Kings:4:39 @ And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

wbs@2Kings:4:44 @ So he set it before them, and they ate, and left of it, according to the word of the LORD.

wbs@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.

wbs@2Kings:5:5 @ And the king of Syria said, Come, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

wbs@2Kings:5:6 @ And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter hath come to thee, behold, I have with this sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

wbs@2Kings:5:7 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

wbs@2Kings:5:8 @ And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

wbs@2Kings:5:27 @ The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:6 @ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubim, whose name is called on it.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:7 @ And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:8 @ And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:10 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:12 @ And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

wbs@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

wbs@1Chronicles:13:14 @ And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted on high, because of his people Israel.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:4 @ Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

wbs@1Chronicles:14:6 @ And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

wbs@1Chronicles:14:8 @ And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:9 @ And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into my hand? And the LORD said to him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they came up to Baal-perazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon my enemies by my hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:12 @ And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:13 @ And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:14 @ Therefore David inquired again of God: and God said to him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt go out to battle: for God hath gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:16 @ David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

wbs@1Chronicles:14:17 @ And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:1 @ And David made him houses in the city of David, and prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister to him for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David assembled all Israel to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD to its place, which he had prepared for it.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:4 @ And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites:

wbs@1Chronicles:15:5 @ Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twenty:

wbs@1Chronicles:15:6 @ Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his brethren two hundred and twenty:

wbs@1Chronicles:15:10 @ Of the sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren a hundred and twelve.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:11 @ And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,

wbs@1Chronicles:15:12 @ And said to them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place that I have prepared for it.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:13 @ For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staffs on it, as Moses commanded, according to the word of the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:16 @ And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:17 @ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

wbs@1Chronicles:15:18 @ And with them their brethren of the second degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:19 @ So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;

wbs@1Chronicles:15:20 @ And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth;

wbs@1Chronicles:15:21 @ And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:22 @ And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, because he was skillful.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:23 @ And Berechiah and Elkanah were door-keepers for the ark.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:24 @ And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for the ark.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:25 @ So David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom with joy.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:26 @ And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:27 @ And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:28 @ Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.

wbs@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul, looking out at a window, saw king David dancing and playing: and she despised him in her heart.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:1 @ So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-sacrifices and peace-offerings before God.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:3 @ And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:4 @ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

wbs@1Chronicles:16:5 @ Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:6 @ Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:7 @ Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:8 @ Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:10 @ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:11 @ Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember his wonderful works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:14 @ He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:15 @ Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:16 @ Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:17 @ And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

wbs@1Chronicles:16:18 @ Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:19 @ When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:20 @ And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:21 @ He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

wbs@1Chronicles:16:22 @ Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:23 @ Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:24 @ Declare his glory among the heathen; his wonderful works among all nations.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:25 @ For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:26 @ For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:28 @ Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:29 @ Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:30 @ Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:31 @ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:32 @ Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:33 @ Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:34 @ O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:35 @ And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:

wbs@1Chronicles:16:38 @ And Obed-edom with their brethren, sixty and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

wbs@1Chronicles:16:39 @ And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

wbs@1Chronicles:16:40 @ To offer burnt-offerings to the LORD upon the altar of the burnt-offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

wbs@1Chronicles:16:42 @ And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

wbs@1Chronicles:16:43 @ And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:2 @ Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in thy heart; for God is with thee.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:3 @ And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

wbs@1Chronicles:17:4 @ Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in:

wbs@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars?

wbs@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheep-cote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldst be ruler over my people Israel:

wbs@1Chronicles:17:8 @ And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:9 @ Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:10 @ And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover, I will subdue all thy enemies. Furthermore, I tell thee that the LORD will build thee a house.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:11 @ And it shall come to pass, when thy days shall be ended that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:

wbs@1Chronicles:17:14 @ But I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:16 @ And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

wbs@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in thy eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:18 @ What can David speak more to thee for the honor of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thy own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:20 @ O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

wbs@1Chronicles:17:22 @ For thy people Israel didst thou make thy own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:23 @ Therefore now, LORD, Let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him a house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.

wbs@1Chronicles:17:27 @ Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:18:1 @ Now after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

wbs@1Chronicles:18:2 @ And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.

wbs@1Chronicles:18:3 @ And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah to Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the river Euphrates.

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:18:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria-damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:18:8 @ Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, David brought very much brass, with which Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:18:10 @ He sent Hadoram his son to king David to inquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had warred with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold, and silver, and brass.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:18:12 @ Moreover, Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

wbs@1Chronicles:18:13 @ And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

wbs@1Chronicles:18:15 @ And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder;

wbs@1Chronicles:18:17 @ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:19:4 @ Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:19:6 @ And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah.

wbs@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon assembled from their cities, and came to battle.

wbs@1Chronicles:19:8 @ And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

wbs@1Chronicles:19:9 @ And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that had come were by themselves in the field.

wbs@1Chronicles:19:10 @ Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he selected all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:19:16 @ And when the Syrians saw that they were defeated before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:19:18 @ But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men who fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

wbs@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took the crown of their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also a great quantity of spoil out of the city.

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:20:5 @ And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff was like a weaver's beam.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:2 @ And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, the LORD make his people a hundred times more numerous than they are: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?

wbs@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred and seventy thousand men that drew sword.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But Levi and Benjamin he counted not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing, therefore he smote Israel.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:9 @ And the LORD spoke to Gad, David's seer, saying,

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and erect an altar to the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:19 @ And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:20 @ And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:24 @ And king David said to Ornan, No; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt-offerings without cost.

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:21:27 @ And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into its sheath.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

wbs@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:22:1 @ Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt-offering for Israel.

wbs@1Chronicles:22:2 @ And David commanded to assemble the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

wbs@1Chronicles:22:3 @ And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;

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

wbs@1Chronicles:22:5 @ And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for the LORD must be very magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.

wbs@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD God of Israel.

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:22:10 @ He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:22:15 @ Moreover, there are workmen with thee in great numbers, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skillful men for every manner of work.

wbs@1Chronicles:22:16 @ Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.

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

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

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

wbs@1Chronicles:23:1 @ So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:2 @ And he assembled all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:3 @ Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:4 @ Of which, twenty and four thousand were to oversee the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:

wbs@1Chronicles:23:5 @ Moreover, four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise with them.

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

wbs@1Chronicles:23:7 @ Of the Gershonites, were, Laadan and Shimei.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:8 @ The sons of Laadan: the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:9 @ The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:10 @ And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:11 @ And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:12 @ The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to him, and to bless in his name for ever.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:14 @ Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:15 @ The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:16 @ Of the sons of Gershom; Shebuel was the chief.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:17 @ And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had no other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:21 @ The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:22 @ And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:23 @ The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:24 @ These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest to his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever;

wbs@1Chronicles:23:26 @ And also to the Levites: they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for its service.

wbs@1Chronicles:23:27 @ For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:

wbs@1Chronicles:23:28 @ Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;

wbs@1Chronicles:23:29 @ Both for the show-bread, and for the fine flour for meat-offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;

wbs@1Chronicles:23:30 @ And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

wbs@1Chronicles:23:31 @ And to offer all burnt-sacrifices to the LORD on the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to the order commanded to them, continually before the LORD:

wbs@1Chronicles:23:32 @ And that they should keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy place, and the charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of the LORD.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:1 @ Now these are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:2 @ But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priests' office.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:3 @ And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices in their service.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:4 @ And there were more chief men found of the sons of Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and thus were they divided. Among the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen chief men of the house of their fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of their fathers.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:5 @ Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another; for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors of the house of God, were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.

wbs@1Chronicles:24:6 @ And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and before the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for Eleazar, and one taken for Ithamar.

wbs@1Chronicles:25:1 @ Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:

wbs@1Chronicles:28:3 @ But God said to me, Thou shalt not build a house for my name, because thou hast been a man of war, and hast shed blood.

wbs@1Chronicles:28:4 @ However the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen Judah to be the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he approved me to make me king over all Israel:

wbs@1Chronicles:28:5 @ And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

wbs@1Chronicles:28:10 @ Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.

wbs@1Chronicles:29:22 @ And ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him to the LORD to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest.

wbs@1Chronicles:29:23 @ Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

wbs@1Chronicles:29:24 @ And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

wbs@1Chronicles:29:25 @ And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:3 @ So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon: for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:4 @ But the ark of God David had brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:5 @ Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought to it.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:6 @ And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:7 @ In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:8 @ And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shown great mercy to David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:9 @ Now, O LORD God, let thy promise to David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:11 @ And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of thy enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

wbs@2Chronicles:1:12 @ Wisdom and knowledge are granted to thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:13 @ Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:14 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:15 @ And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:16 @ And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

wbs@2Chronicles:1:17 @ And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: and so they brought out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:1 @ And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:2 @ And Solomon numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:3 @ And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in it, even so deal with me.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I build a house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual show-bread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:5 @ And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:6 @ But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then that I should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?

wbs@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Send me now therefore a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave with the skillful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:9 @ Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderfully great.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:10 @ And behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:11 @ Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that may build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord hath spoken of, let him send to his servants;

wbs@2Chronicles:2:16 @ And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou mayest convey it to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:17 @ And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

wbs@2Chronicles:2:18 @ And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people to work.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:2 @ And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:3 @ Now these are the things in which Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:4 @ And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the hight was a hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:5 @ And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set on it palm trees and chains.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:6 @ And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:7 @ He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls of it, and the doors of it, with gold; and engraved cherubim on the walls.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the most holy house, the length of which was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth of it twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:9 @ And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:10 @ And in the most holy house he made two cherubim of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:11 @ And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim upon it.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:15 @ Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:16 @ And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

wbs@2Chronicles:3:17 @ And he erected the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:1 @ Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the hight of it.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the hight of it; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:3 @ And under it was the similitude of oxen, which encompassed it: ten in a cubit, encompassing the sea. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:4 @ It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:5 @ And the thickness of it was a hand-breadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:8 @ He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:9 @ Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:10 @ And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:11 @ And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;

wbs@2Chronicles:4:14 @ He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;

wbs@2Chronicles:4:16 @ The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:18 @ Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be ascertained.

wbs@2Chronicles:4:19 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the show-bread was set;

wbs@2Chronicles:5:1 @ Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, he put among the treasures of the house of God.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:2 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the city of David, which is Zion.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:4 @ And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:5 @ And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:6 @ Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled to him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:7 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to its place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim:

wbs@2Chronicles:5:8 @ For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark, and the staffs of it above.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:9 @ And they drew out the staffs of the ark, that the ends of the staffs were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is to this day.

wbs@2Chronicles:5:13 @ It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

wbs@2Chronicles:10:11 @ For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

wbs@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king directed, saying, Come again to me on the third day.

wbs@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king hearkened not to the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

wbs@2Chronicles:10:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thy own house. So all Israel went to their tents.

wbs@2Chronicles:10:17 @ But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

wbs@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get into his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:4 @ Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done by me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:6 @ He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

wbs@2Chronicles:11:10 @ And Zorah, and Ajalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:11 @ And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of provisions, and of oil and wine.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:12 @ And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him from all their borders.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office to the LORD:

wbs@2Chronicles:11:15 @ And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And after them out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the LORD God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:17 @ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.

wbs@2Chronicles:11:18 @ And Rehoboam took to himself Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David for a wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

wbs@2Chronicles:11:23 @ And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city: and he gave them provisions in abundance. And he desired many wives.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:1 @ And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:2 @ And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,

wbs@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were assembled at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:6 @ Upon which the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:8 @ Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:10 @ Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:11 @ And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard-chamber.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:12 @ And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:13 @ So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:14 @ And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:15 @ Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

wbs@2Chronicles:12:16 @ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:1 @ Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:3 @ And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valor.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:4 @ And Abijah stood upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;

wbs@2Chronicles:13:5 @ Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

wbs@2Chronicles:13:6 @ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat the servant of Solomon the son of David, hath risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:7 @ And there are gathered to him vain men, the children of Belial, and they have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tender-hearted, and could not withstand them.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:8 @ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made for you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, who minister to the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:

wbs@2Chronicles:13:11 @ And they burn to the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-sacrifices and sweet incense: the show-bread also they set in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with its lamps to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:12 @ And behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye will not prosper.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:13 @ But Jeroboam caused an ambush to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambush was behind them.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried to the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:16 @ And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:17 @ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:18 @ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:20 @ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.

wbs@2Chronicles:13:22 @ And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:2 @ And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

wbs@2Chronicles:14:3 @ For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves:

wbs@2Chronicles:14:4 @ And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

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

wbs@2Chronicles:14:6 @ And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army of men that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:9 @ And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:10 @ Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled.

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

wbs@2Chronicles:14:14 @ And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

wbs@2Chronicles:14:15 @ They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:1 @ And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

wbs@2Chronicles:15:2 @ And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:3 @ Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:4 @ But when they in their trouble returned to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:5 @ And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:6 @ And nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city: for God troubled them with all adversity.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:7 @ Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak; for your work shall be rewarded.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they resorted to him out of Israel in multitudes, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:10 @ So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:11 @ And they offered to the LORD at the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:12 @ And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

wbs@2Chronicles:15:13 @ That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:14 @ And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them: and the LORD gave them rest on all sides.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:16 @ And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:18 @ And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

wbs@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no more war until the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa brought silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

wbs@2Chronicles:16:3 @ There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:4 @ And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off the building of Ramah, and let his work cease.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha was building, and he built with it Geba and Mizpah.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore hath the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:8 @ Were not the Cushites and the Lubims a numerous army, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thy hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:9 @ For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. In this thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:11 @ And behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:12 @ And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceedingly severe: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:13 @ And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

wbs@2Chronicles:16:14 @ And they buried him in his own sepulchers which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:1 @ And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:2 @ And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:3 @ And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not to Baalim;

wbs@2Chronicles:17:4 @ But sought to the LORD God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand: and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honor in abundance.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:6 @ And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:7 @ Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben-hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:8 @ And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:9 @ And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:10 @ And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:11 @ Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:12 @ And Jehoshaphat became exceedingly great; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:13 @ And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valor, were in Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:14 @ And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valor three hundred thousand.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:15 @ And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:16 @ And next to him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself to the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:18 @ And next to him was Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and eighty thousand ready prepared for the war.

wbs@2Chronicles:17:19 @ These waited on the king, besides those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:2 @ And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:3 @ And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:4 @ And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to-day.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:5 @ Therefore the king of Israel collected of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:6 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?

wbs@2Chronicles:18:7 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:8 @ And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:9 @ And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:10 @ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they shall be consumed.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:11 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:12 @ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one consent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:13 @ And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:14 @ And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:15 @ And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?

wbs@2Chronicles:18:16 @ Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:17 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good to me, but evil?

wbs@2Chronicles:18:18 @ Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:19 @ And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:20 @ Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, With what?

wbs@2Chronicles:18:21 @ And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out and do even so.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:22 @ Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:23 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak to thee?

wbs@2Chronicles:18:24 @ And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:25 @ Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

wbs@2Chronicles:18:26 @ And say, Thus saith the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:27 @ And Micaiah said, If thou shalt certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:28 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:29 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:30 @ Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:31 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:32 @ For it came to pass, that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:33 @ And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot-man, Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

wbs@2Chronicles:18:34 @ And the battle increased that day: yet the king of Israel supported himself in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died.

wbs@2Chronicles:19:1 @ And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:19:2 @ And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldst thou help the ungodly, and love them that hate the LORD? therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:1 @ It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them others besides the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:2 @ Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side of Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is En-gedi.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:22 @ And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:23 @ For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:24 @ And when Judah came towards the watch-tower in the wilderness, they looked to the multitude, and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:25 @ And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering the spoil, it was so much.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place hath been called, The valley of Berachah, to this day.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:27 @ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:29 @ And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:20:30 @ So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest on all sides.

wbs@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests looked upon him, and behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.

wbs@2Chronicles:26:21 @ And Uzziah the king was a leper to the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.

wbs@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, were written by Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos.

wbs@2Chronicles:26:23 @ So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: yet, he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:3 @ He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:4 @ Moreover, he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:5 @ He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay to him, both the second year, and the third.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:6 @ So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:7 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:8 @ He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:27:9 @ And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:

wbs@2Chronicles:28:2 @ For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:3 @ Moreover, he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:4 @ He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:6 @ For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, who were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:7 @ And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:8 @ And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth to heaven.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:10 @ And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bond-men and bond-women to you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?

wbs@2Chronicles:28:11 @ Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:12 @ Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:13 @ And said to them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:14 @ So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:15 @ And the men who were expressed by name arose, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:16 @ At that time king Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:17 @ For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:18 @ The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with its villages, and Timnah with its villages, Gimzo also and its villages: and they dwelt there.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel: for he made Judah naked, and greatly transgressed against the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:20 @ And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz took away a portion from the house of the LORD, and from the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:22 @ And in the time of his distress he trespassed yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:24 @ And Ahaz collected the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:28:27 @ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchers of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:3 @ He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:4 @ And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street,

wbs@2Chronicles:29:5 @ And said to them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:6 @ For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:7 @ Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Wherefore the wrath of the LORD hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:9 @ For lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:10 @ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister to him, and burn incense.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:

wbs@2Chronicles:29:15 @ And they assembled their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:16 @ And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:17 @ Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:18 @ Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all its vessels, and the show-bread table, with all its vessels.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:20 @ Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and convened the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:23 @ And they brought forth the he-goats for the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:

wbs@2Chronicles:29:24 @ And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:26 @ And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:27 @ And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:28 @ And all the congregation worshiped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshiped.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover, Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to the LORD, with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and, as many as were of a free heart, burnt-offerings.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams: and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:33 @ And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites helped them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:35 @ And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.

wbs@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:3 @ For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people assembled themselves at Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:4 @ And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in the manner as it was written.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:6 @ So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if ye turn again to the LORD, your brethren and your children will find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they will return into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Nevertheless, divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And there assembled at Jerusalem many people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:14 @ And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense they took away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:15 @ Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:16 @ And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received from the hand of the Levites.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one,

wbs@2Chronicles:30:19 @ That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:20 @ And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:21 @ And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah spoke comfortably to all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they ate throughout the feast seven days, offering peace-offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:23 @ And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:25 @ And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer ascended to his holy dwelling-place, even to heaven.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned every man to his possession into their own cities.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:3 @ He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new-moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:4 @ Moreover, he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:5 @ And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things they brought in abundantly.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:6 @ And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:7 @ In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:9 @ Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great abundance.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,

wbs@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And brought in the offerings and the tithes, and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:13 @ And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:14 @ And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter towards the east, was over the free-will-offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

wbs@2Chronicles:31:16 @ Besides their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even to every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;

wbs@2Chronicles:31:20 @ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and performed that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.

wbs@2Chronicles:31:21 @ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these things, and their establishment, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

wbs@2Chronicles:32:3 @ He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they helped him.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:4 @ So there were assembled many people, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:5 @ Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:6 @ And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him in the street of the gate of the city, and encouraged them, saying,

wbs@2Chronicles:32:7 @ Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are more with us than with him:

wbs@2Chronicles:32:8 @ With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

wbs@2Chronicles:32:10 @ Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:13 @ Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of my hand?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?

wbs@2Chronicles:32:16 @ And his servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He wrote also letters to rail at the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:18 @ Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech to the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to fill them with consternation; that they might take the city.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:19 @ And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the work of the hands of man.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:20 @ And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:21 @ And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he had come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:22 @ Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that from thenceforth he was magnified in the sight of all nations.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near to death, and he prayed to the LORD: and he spoke to him, and he gave him a sign.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezekiah had very great riches and honor: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels:

wbs@2Chronicles:32:28 @ Store-houses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:29 @ Moreover, he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance in great abundance.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:31 @ But, in the business of the embassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:32:33 @ And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chief of the sepulchers of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:

wbs@2Chronicles:33:2 @ But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served them.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:4 @ Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:6 @ And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:7 @ And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

wbs@2Chronicles:33:8 @ Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; provided they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:10 @ And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

wbs@2Chronicles:33:13 @ And prayed to him: and he was entreated by him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he is God.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:14 @ Now after this, he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish-gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great highth, and put captains of war in all the fortified cities of Judah.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:15 @ And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:16 @ And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed on it peace-offerings and thank-offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:17 @ Nevertheless, the people sacrificed still in the high places, yet to the LORD their God only.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:19 @ His prayer also, and how God was entreated by him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places in which he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:21 @ Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:22 @ But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed to all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;

wbs@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.

wbs@2Chronicles:33:25 @ But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:4 @ And they broke down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:5 @ And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:6 @ And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even to Naphtali, with their mattocks around.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:7 @ And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:8 @ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:9 @ And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had collected from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and from all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:10 @ And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and mend the house:

wbs@2Chronicles:34:11 @ Even to the artificers and builders they gave it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:12 @ And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to superintend it; and others of the Levites, all that had skill in instruments of music.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:13 @ Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:14 @ And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:15 @ And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:16 @ And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they perform.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:17 @ And they have collected the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:18 @ Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:19 @ And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:20 @ And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,

wbs@2Chronicles:34:21 @ Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel, and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:22 @ And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spoke to her to that effect.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:23 @ And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:24 @ Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon its inhabitants, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:

wbs@2Chronicles:34:25 @ Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:26 @ And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, so shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;

wbs@2Chronicles:34:27 @ Because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou didst hear his words against this place, and against its inhabitants, and didst humble thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:28 @ Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thy eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:29 @ Then the king sent and convened all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:30 @ And the king went into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:31 @ And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:32 @ And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin, to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:34:33 @ And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel, to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:1 @ Moreover, Josiah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:2 @ And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,

wbs@2Chronicles:35:3 @ And said to the Levites that taught all Israel, who were holy to the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,

wbs@2Chronicles:35:4 @ And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:5 @ And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:6 @ So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:7 @ And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover-offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his princes gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover-offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Conaniah also, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jehiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for passover-offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:10 @ So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:11 @ And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:12 @ And they removed the burnt-offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:13 @ And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings they boiled in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:14 @ And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:15 @ And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:16 @ So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:17 @ And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:18 @ And there was no passover like that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:19 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent embassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house with which I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he may not destroy thee.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself that he might fight with him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am severely wounded.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchers of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

wbs@2Chronicles:35:25 @ And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women have spoken of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and behold, they are written in the lamentations.

wbs@2Chronicles:36:14 @ Moreover, all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.

wbs@2Chronicles:36:15 @ And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling-place:

wbs@Ezra:3:9 @ Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

wbs@Ezra:3:12 @ But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:

wbs@Ezra:3:13 @ So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.

wbs@Ezra:4:1 @ Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity were building the temple to the LORD God of Israel;

wbs@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said to them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together will build to the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.

wbs@Ezra:4:4 @ Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,

wbs@Ezra:4:12 @ Be it known to the king, that the Jews who came from thee to us are come to Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the noxious city, and have set up its walls, and joined the foundations.

wbs@Ezra:4:13 @ Be it known now to the king, that, if this city shall be built, and the walls set up again, then they will not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou wilt endamage the revenue of the kings.

wbs@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonor, therefore have we sent and certified the king;

wbs@Ezra:4:15 @ That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so wilt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

wbs@Ezra:4:16 @ We certify the king that, if this city shall be built again, and its walls set up, by this means thou wilt have no portion on this side of the river.

wbs@Ezra:4:17 @ Then the king sent an answer to Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and to the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.

wbs@Ezra:4:18 @ The letter which ye sent to us hath been plainly read before me.

wbs@Ezra:4:20 @ There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid to them.

wbs@Ezra:4:21 @ Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not built, until another commandment shall be given from me.

wbs@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

wbs@Ezra:4:23 @ Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem to the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

wbs@Ezra:4:24 @ Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

wbs@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even to them.

wbs@Ezra:5:2 @ Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

wbs@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and said thus to them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?

wbs@Ezra:5:4 @ Then said we to them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?

wbs@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.

wbs@Ezra:5:6 @ The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side of the river, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, who were on this side of the river, sent to Darius the king:

wbs@Ezra:5:7 @ They sent a letter to him, in which was written thus; To Darius the king, all peace.

wbs@Ezra:5:8 @ Be it known to the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is built with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work proceedeth rapidly, and prospereth in their hands.

wbs@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and said to them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to erect these walls?

wbs@Ezra:5:10 @ We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.

wbs@Ezra:5:11 @ And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was erected these many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and set up.

wbs@Ezra:5:12 @ But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.

wbs@Ezra:5:13 @ But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon, the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.

wbs@Ezra:5:14 @ And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;

wbs@Ezra:5:15 @ And said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be built in its place.

wbs@Ezra:5:16 @ Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.

wbs@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seemeth good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure-house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so, that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.

wbs@Ezra:6:1 @ Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.

wbs@Ezra:6:2 @ And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and in it was a record thus written:

wbs@Ezra:6:3 @ In the first year of Cyrus the king, the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be built, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations of it be strongly laid; the hight of it sixty cubits, and the breadth of it sixty cubits;

wbs@Ezra:6:4 @ With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:

wbs@Ezra:6:5 @ And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, be restored, and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to its place, and place them in the house of God.

wbs@Ezra:6:6 @ Now therefore, Tatnai governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, who are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:

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

wbs@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover, I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given to these men, that they be not hindered.

wbs@Ezra:6:9 @ And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt-offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests who are at Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day without fail:

wbs@Ezra:6:10 @ That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savors to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.

wbs@Ezra:6:12 @ And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall attempt to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.

wbs@Ezra:6:13 @ Then Tatnai governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.

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

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

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

wbs@Ezra:6:17 @ And offered at the dedication of this house of God a hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

wbs@Ezra:6:18 @ And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, who is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.

wbs@Ezra:6:19 @ And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.

wbs@Ezra:6:20 @ For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and they killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.

wbs@Ezra:6:21 @ And the children of Israel, who had returned from captivity, and all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,

wbs@Ezra:6:22 @ And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

wbs@Ezra:7:9 @ For upon the first day of the first month he began to go from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

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

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

wbs@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was entreated by us.

wbs@Ezra:8:34 @ By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.

wbs@Ezra:8:35 @ Also the children of those that had been carried away, who had come out of the captivity, offered burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burnt-offering to the LORD.

wbs@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the king's commissions to the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.

wbs@Ezra:9:1 @ Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

wbs@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.

wbs@Ezra:9:3 @ And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down confounded.

wbs@Ezra:9:4 @ Then were assembled to me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat confounded until the evening sacrifice.

wbs@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening sacrifice I arose from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands to the LORD my God,

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that hath come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;

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

wbs@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we having escaped, remain yet, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

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

wbs@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken foreign wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

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

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

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

wbs@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra arose from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he ate no bread, nor drank water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

wbs@Ezra:10:7 @ And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the children of the captivity, that they should assemble at Jerusalem;

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

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

wbs@Ezra:10:10 @ And Ezra the priest stood up, and said to them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken foreign wives to increase the trespass of Israel.

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

wbs@Ezra:10:12 @ Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.

wbs@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand abroad, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.

wbs@Ezra:10:14 @ Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them who have taken foreign wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and its judges, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter shall be turned from us.

wbs@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.

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

wbs@Ezra:10:17 @ And they made an end with all the men that had taken foreign wives by the first day of the first month.

wbs@Ezra:10:18 @ And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken foreign wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

wbs@Nehemiah:1:2 @ That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:1:5 @ And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:

wbs@Nehemiah:1:6 @ Let thy ear now be attentive, and thy eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.

wbs@Nehemiah:1:7 @ We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.

wbs@Nehemiah:1:8 @ Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:2:3 @ And said to the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchers, lieth waste, and its gates are consumed with fire?

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

wbs@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, If it should please the king, and if thy servant hath found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldst send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' sepulchers, that I may build it.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:2:10 @ When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there had come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:2:13 @ And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon-well, and to the dung-port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and their gates were consumed with fire.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:2:15 @ Then I went up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eliashib the high priest arose with his brethren the priests, and they built the sheep-gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even to the tower of Meah they sanctified it, to the tower of Hananeel.

wbs@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it, for the people had a mind to work.

wbs@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore I set in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:4:17 @ They who built on the wall, and they that bore burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.

wbs@Nehemiah:4:18 @ For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so built. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:5:2 @ For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.

wbs@Nehemiah:5:3 @ Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.

wbs@Nehemiah:5:4 @ There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:5:7 @ Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said to them, Ye exact interest, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:5:10 @ I likewise, my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors, that had been before me were chargeable to the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver; yes, even their servants bore rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

wbs@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither to the work.

wbs@Nehemiah:5:17 @ Moreover, there were at my table a hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, besides those that came to us from among the heathen that were about us.

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

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it may not be done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:13 @ Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:14 @ My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard of it, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought by our God.

wbs@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.

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

wbs@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

wbs@Nehemiah:7:1 @ Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

wbs@Nehemiah:7:2 @ That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

wbs@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun shall be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.

wbs@Nehemiah:7:4 @ Now the city was large and great: but the people in it were few, and the houses were not built.

wbs@Nehemiah:7:5 @ And my God put into my heart to assemble the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them who came up at the first, and found written in it,

wbs@Nehemiah:8:17 @ And all the congregation of them that had returned from the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun to that day, had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

wbs@Nehemiah:8:18 @ Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:10 @ And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:11 @ And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:12 @ Moreover, thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:13 @ Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spokest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

wbs@Nehemiah:9:17 @ And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst perform among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:18 @ Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

wbs@Nehemiah:9:19 @ Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:20 @ Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:21 @ Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes grew not old, and their feet swelled not.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:22 @ Moreover, thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:23 @ Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:24 @ So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:25 @ And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards and olive-yards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they ate and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:26 @ Nevertheless, they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets who testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:27 @ Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried to thee, thou hearedest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them deliverers, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:28 @ But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned and cried to thee, thou hearedest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;

wbs@Nehemiah:9:29 @ And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again to thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man doeth, he shall live in them:) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

wbs@Nehemiah:9:30 @ Yet many years didst thou forbear over them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore thou gavest them into the hand of the people of the lands.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:1 @ On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever:

wbs@Nehemiah:13:2 @ Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Baalam against them, that he should curse them: but our God turned the curse into a blessing.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:3 @ Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:4 @ And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied to Tobiah:

wbs@Nehemiah:13:5 @ And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where formerly they laid the meat-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I came to the king, and after certain days I obtained leave of the king:

wbs@Nehemiah:13:7 @ And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing for him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:8 @ And it grieved me greatly: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:9 @ Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither I brought again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat-offering and the frankincense.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:10 @ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, had fled every one to his field.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:11 @ Then I contended with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? and I assembled them, and set them in their place.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:12 @ Then all Judah brought the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:13 @ And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were accounted faithful; and their office was to distribute to their brethren.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:14 @ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its offices.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:15 @ In those days I saw in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day in which they sold provisions.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:16 @ There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought fish, and all manner of wares, and sold on the sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:17 @ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

wbs@Nehemiah:13:18 @ Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:19 @ And it came to pass, that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and I set some of my servants at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:20 @ So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites, that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:23 @ In those days also I saw Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:

wbs@Nehemiah:13:24 @ And their children spoke half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews language, but according to the language of each people.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:25 @ And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters to your sons, or for yourselves.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Shall we then hearken to you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying foreign wives?

wbs@Nehemiah:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:29 @ Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites.

wbs@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;

wbs@Nehemiah:13:31 @ And for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

wbs@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Cush, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)

wbs@Esther:1:2 @ That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,

wbs@Esther:1:3 @ In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:

wbs@Esther:1:4 @ When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even a hundred and eighty days.

wbs@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days had expired, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

wbs@Esther:1:6 @ Where were white, green, and blue hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black marble.

wbs@Esther:1:7 @ And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.

wbs@Esther:1:8 @ And the drinking was according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

wbs@Esther:1:9 @ Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

wbs@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

wbs@Esther:1:11 @ To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.

wbs@Esther:1:12 @ But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

wbs@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king's manner towards all that knew law and judgment:

wbs@Esther:1:14 @ And the next to him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and who sat the first in the kingdom;)

wbs@Esther:1:15 @ What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

wbs@Esther:1:16 @ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

wbs@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will come abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

wbs@Esther:1:18 @ Likewise will the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king's princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus will there arise too much contempt and wrath.

wbs@Esther:1:19 @ If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.

wbs@Esther:1:20 @ And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.

wbs@Esther:1:21 @ And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

wbs@Esther:1:22 @ For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

wbs@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

wbs@Esther:2:2 @ Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

wbs@Esther:2:3 @ And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may collect all the fair young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, into the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:

wbs@Esther:2:4 @ And let the maiden who pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

wbs@Esther:2:5 @ Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite;

wbs@Esther:2:6 @ Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

wbs@Esther:2:7 @ And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

wbs@Esther:2:8 @ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree were heard, and when many maidens were assembled at Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also to the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

wbs@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens who were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids to the best place of the house of the women.

wbs@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not show it.

wbs@Esther:2:11 @ And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

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

wbs@Esther:2:13 @ Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.

wbs@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in to the king no more, except that the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.

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

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

wbs@Esther:2:17 @ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

wbs@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

wbs@Esther:2:19 @ And when the virgins were assembled the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.

wbs@Esther:2:20 @ Esther had not yet showed her kindred, nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther performed the commandment of Mordecai, as when she was brought up with him.

wbs@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

wbs@Esther:2:22 @ And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it to Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king of it in Mordecai's name.

wbs@Esther:2:23 @ And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was discovered; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

wbs@Esther:3:1 @ After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

wbs@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.

wbs@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king's servants who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why dost thou transgress the king's commandment?

wbs@Esther:3:4 @ Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

wbs@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:3:9 @ If it shall please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:4:2 @ And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

wbs@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

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

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

wbs@Esther:4:6 @ So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, to the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:4:10 @ Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai;

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

wbs@Esther:4:12 @ And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.

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

wbs@Esther:4:14 @ For if thou shalt altogether hold thy peace at this time, then will there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will be destroyed: and who knoweth, whether thou hast come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

wbs@Esther:4:15 @ Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:5:7 @ Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:

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

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

wbs@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

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

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

wbs@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.

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

wbs@Esther:6:5 @ And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

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

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

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

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:6:12 @ And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

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

wbs@Esther:6:14 @ And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bond-men and bond-women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

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

wbs@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:7:10 @ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

wbs@Esther:8:1 @ On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

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

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

wbs@Esther:8:4 @ Then the king held out the golden scepter towards Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:8:8 @ Write ye also for the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, no man may reverse.

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

wbs@Esther:8:10 @ And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus's name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:

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

wbs@Esther:8:12 @ Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar,

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

wbs@Esther:8:14 @ So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.

wbs@Esther:8:15 @ And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced, and was glad:

wbs@Esther:8:16 @ The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honor.

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

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

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

wbs@Esther:9:3 @ And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

wbs@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai became greater and greater.

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

wbs@Esther:9:6 @ And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

wbs@Esther:9:10 @ The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, they slew; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.

wbs@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

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

wbs@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther, If it shall please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

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

wbs@Esther:9:15 @ For the Jews that were in Shushan assembled on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.

wbs@Esther:9:16 @ But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces assembled, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, (but they laid not their hands on the prey.)

wbs@Esther:9:17 @ On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

wbs@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled on the thirteenth day of the month, and on the fourteenth of it: and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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

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

wbs@Esther:9:21 @ To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

wbs@Esther:9:22 @ As the days in which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day, that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

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

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

wbs@Esther:9:25 @ But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

wbs@Esther:9:27 @ The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;

wbs@Esther:10:1 @ And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

wbs@Esther:10:2 @ And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
