jps@Deuteronomy:1:14 @ And ye answered me, and said: 'The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.'

jps@Deuteronomy:1:15 @ So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:16 @ And I charged your judges at that time, saying: 'Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:17 @ Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of any man; for the judgment is God's; and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.'

jps@Deuteronomy:1:27 @ and ye murmured in your tents, and said: 'Because the LORD hated us, He hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:28 @ Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying: The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.'

jps@Deuteronomy:1:30 @ The LORD your God who goeth before you, He shall fight for you, according to all that He did for you in Egypt before your eyes;

jps@Deuteronomy:1:31 @ and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:41 @ Then ye answered and said unto me: 'We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us.' And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and deemed it a light thing to go up into the hill-country.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:43 @ So I spoke unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill-country.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:44 @ And the Amorites, that dwell in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.

jps@Deuteronomy:1:46 @ So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.

jps@Deuteronomy:2:1 @ Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea, as the LORD spoke unto me; and we compassed mount Seir many days.

jps@Deuteronomy:3:6 @ And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, the men, and the women, and the little ones.

jps@Deuteronomy:3:12 @ And this land we took in possession at that time; from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

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

jps@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

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

jps@Joshua:5:5 @ For 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 out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

jps@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD; unto whom the LORD swore that He would not let them see the land which the LORD swore unto their fathers that He would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

jps@Joshua:5:7 @ And He raised up their children in their stead; them did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised by the way.

jps@Joshua:5:8 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation were circumcised, every one of them, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

jps@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

jps@Joshua:5:11 @ And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame day.

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

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

jps@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua: 'Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.' And Joshua did so.

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

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

jps@Joshua:6:3 @ And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

jps@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

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

jps@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the horns; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests blowing with the horns continually.

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

jps@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at 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.

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

jps@Joshua:6:18 @ And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed by taking of the devoted thing, so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Joshua:6:25 @ But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

jps@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua charged the people with an oath at that time, saying: 'Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city, even Jericho; with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.'

jps@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

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

jps@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 unto them, saying: 'Go up and spy out the land.' And the men went up and spied out Ai.

jps@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 they put dust upon their heads.

jps@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said: 'Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast Thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!

jps@Joshua:7:9 @ For when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land hear of it, they will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt Thou do for Thy great name?'

jps@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed My covenant which I commanded them; yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing; and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have even put it among their own stuff.

jps@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say: Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: There is a curse in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

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

jps@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be that he that is taken with the devoted 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 a wanton deed in Israel.'

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

jps@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said unto Achan: 'My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession unto Him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide nothing from me.'

jps@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, and said: 'Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.

jps@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoil a goodly Shinar mantle, 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.'

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

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

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

jps@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying: 'Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready.

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

jps@Joshua:8:7 @ And ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

jps@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do; see, I have commanded you.'

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

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

jps@Joshua:8:13 @ So the people set themselves in array, even all the host that was on the north of the city, their rear lying in wait on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the vale.

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

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

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

jps@Joshua:8:18 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand.' And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

jps@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 entered into the city, and took it; and they hastened and set the city on fire.

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

jps@Joshua:8:22 @ And the other came forth 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.

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

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

jps@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

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

jps@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the eventide; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.

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

jps@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 unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

jps@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger as the home-born; half of them in front of mount Gerizim and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

jps@Joshua:9:15 @ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.

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

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

jps@Judges:18:7 @ Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put them to shame in any thing, and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no dealings with any man.

jps@Judges:18:9 @ And they said: 'Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good; and are ye still? be not slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.

jps@Judges:18:18 @ And when these went into Micah's house, and fetched the graven image of the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them: 'What do ye?'

jps@Judges:18:19 @ And they said unto him: 'Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest; is it better for thee to be priest unto the house of one man, or to be priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?'

jps@Judges:18:20 @ And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

jps@Judges:20:41 @ And the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were amazed; for they saw that evil was come upon them.

jps@Judges:20:42 @ Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle followed hard after them; and they that came out of the city destroyed them in the midst of the men of Israel.

jps@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said: 'This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: he will take your sons, and appoint them unto him, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and they shall run before his chariots.

jps@1Samuel:8:12 @ And he will appoint them unto him for captains of thousands, and captains of fifties; and to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his chariots.

jps@1Samuel:9:8 @ And the servant answered Saul again, and said: 'Behold, I have in my hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver, that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.'--

jps@1Samuel:9:9 @ Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he said: 'Come and let us go to the seer'; for he that is now called a prophet was beforetime called a seer.--

jps@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them, and said: 'He is; behold, he is before thee; make haste now, for he is come to-day into the city; for the people have a sacrifice to-day in the high place.

jps@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as ye are come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat; for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that are bidden.

jps@1Samuel:9:14 @ And they went up to the city; and as they came within the city, behold, Samuel came out toward them, to go up to the high place.

jps@1Samuel:9:16 @ 'To-morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be prince over My people Israel, and he shall save My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry is come unto Me.'

jps@1Samuel:9:18 @ Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said: 'Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.'

jps@1Samuel:9:19 @ And Samuel answered Saul, and said: 'I am the seer; go up before me unto the high place, for ye shall eat with me to-day; and in the morning I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thy heart.

jps@1Samuel:9:20 @ And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?'

jps@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said: 'Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou to me after this manner?'

jps@1Samuel:9:22 @ And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, who were about thirty persons.

jps@1Samuel:9:23 @ And Samuel said unto the cook: 'Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee: Set it by thee.'

jps@1Kings:6:5 @ And against the wall of the house he built a side-structure round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the sanctuary; and he made side-chambers round about;

jps@1Kings:6:6 @ the nethermost story of the side-structure was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made rebatements in the wall of the house round about, that the beams should not have hold in the walls of the house.--

jps@1Kings:6:7 @ For the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.--

jps@1Kings:6:8 @ The door for the lowest row of chambers was in the right side of the house and they went up by winding stairs into the middle row, and out of the middle into the third.

jps@1Kings:6:9 @ So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered in the house with planks of cedar over beams.

jps@1Kings:6:10 @ And he built the stories of the side-structure against all the house, each five cubits high; and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

jps@1Kings:6:11 @ And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:

jps@1Kings:6:12 @ 'As for this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in My statutes, and execute Mine ordinances, and keep all My commandments to walk in them; then will I establish My word with thee, which I spoke unto David thy father;

jps@1Kings:6:13 @ in that I will dwell therein among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.'

jps@1Kings:6:14 @ So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

jps@1Kings:6:15 @ And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house unto the joists of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of cypress.

jps@1Kings:6:16 @ And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor unto the joists; he even built them for himself within, for a Sanctuary, even for the most holy place.

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

jps@1Kings:6:18 @ And the cedar on the house within was carved with knops and open flowers; all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

jps@1Kings:6:19 @ And he prepared the Sanctuary in the midst of the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.

jps@1Kings:6:20 @ And before the Sanctuary which was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof, overlaid with pure gold, he set an altar, which he covered with cedar.

jps@1Kings:6:21 @ So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold; and he drew chains of gold across the wall before the Sanctuary; and he overlaid it with gold.

jps@1Kings:6:22 @ And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until all the house was finished; also the whole altar that belonged to the Sanctuary he overlaid with gold.

jps@1Kings:6:23 @ And in the Sanctuary he made two cherubim of olive-wood, each ten cubits high.

jps@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 unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

jps@1Kings:6:25 @ And the other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of one measure and one form.

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

jps@1Kings:6:27 @ And he set the cherubim within the inner house; and the wings of the cherubim were stretched forth, 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.

jps@1Kings:6:28 @ And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.

jps@1Kings:6:29 @ And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, within and without.

jps@1Kings:6:30 @ And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

jps@1Kings:6:31 @ And for the entrance of the Sanctuary he made doors of olive-wood, the door-posts within the frame having five angles.

jps@1Kings:6:32 @ And as for the two doors of olive-wood, he carved upon them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold upon the cherubim, and upon the palm-trees.

jps@1Kings:6:33 @ So also made he for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, within a frame four-square;

jps@1Kings:6:34 @ and two doors of cypress-wood; the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

jps@1Kings:6:35 @ And he carved thereon cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted upon the graven work.

jps@1Kings:6:36 @ And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams.

jps@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Ziv.

jps@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.

jps@1Kings:7:1 @ And Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.

jps@1Kings:7:2 @ For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon: the length thereof was a hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.

jps@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was covered with cedar above upon the side-chambers, that lay on forty and five pillars, fifteen in a row.

jps@1Kings:7:4 @ And there were beams in three rows; and light was over against light in three ranks.

jps@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doors with their posts were square in the frame; and light was over against light in three ranks.

jps@1Kings:7:6 @ And he made the porch of pillars: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and thick beams before them.

jps@1Kings:7:7 @ And he made the porch of the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment; and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor.

jps@1Kings:7:8 @ And his house where he might dwell, in the other court, within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken to wife, like unto this porch.

jps@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 unto the coping, and so on the outside unto the great court.

jps@1Kings:7:10 @ And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

jps@1Kings:7:11 @ And above were costly stones, after the measure of hewn stones, and cedar-wood.

jps@1Kings:7:12 @ And the great court round about had three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cedar beams, like as the inner court of the house of the LORD, and the court of the porch of the house.

jps@1Kings:7:13 @ And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

jps@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow 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 skill, to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.

jps@1Kings:7:15 @ Thus he fashioned the two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high each; and a line of twelve cubits did compass it about; and so the other pillar.

jps@1Kings:7:16 @ And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

jps@1Kings:7:17 @ He also made 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.

jps@1Kings:7:18 @ And he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pomegranates; and so did he for the other capital.

jps@1Kings:7:19 @ And the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-work, four cubits.

jps@1Kings:7:20 @ And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which was beside the network; and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon each capital.

jps@1Kings:7:21 @ And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple; and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.

jps@1Kings:7:22 @ And upon the top of the pillars was lily-work; so was the work of the pillars finished.

jps@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

jps@1Kings:7:24 @ And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about; the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

jps@1Kings:7:25 @ It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

jps@1Kings:7:26 @ And it was a hand-breadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held two thousand baths.

jps@1Kings:7:27 @ And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

jps@1Kings:7:28 @ And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the stays;

jps@1Kings:7:29 @ and on the borders that were between the stays were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the stays it was in like manner above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

jps@1Kings:7:30 @ And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters; beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

jps@1Kings:7:31 @ And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit high; and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings; and their borders were foursquare, not round.

jps@1Kings:7:32 @ And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

jps@1Kings:7:33 @ And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel; their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten.

jps@1Kings:7:34 @ And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base; the undersetters thereof were of one piece with the base itself.

jps@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 the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of one piece therewith.

jps@1Kings:7:36 @ And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

jps@1Kings:7:37 @ After this manner he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

jps@1Kings:7:38 @ And 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.

jps@1Kings:7:39 @ And he set the bases, five 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, toward the south.

jps@1Kings:7:40 @ And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:

jps@1Kings:7:41 @ the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

jps@1Kings:7:42 @ and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;

jps@1Kings:7:43 @ and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;

jps@1Kings:7:44 @ and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

jps@1Kings:7:45 @ and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.

jps@1Kings:7:46 @ In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

jps@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.

jps@1Kings:7:48 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;

jps@1Kings:7:49 @ and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the Sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

jps@1Kings:7:50 @ and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and the fire-pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the temple, of gold.

jps@1Kings:7:51 @ Thus all the work that king Solomon wrought in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated, the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

jps@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

jps@1Kings:8:2 @ And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

jps@1Kings:8:3 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

jps@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

jps@1Kings:8:5 @ And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

jps@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

jps@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

jps@1Kings:8:8 @ And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place, even before the Sanctuary; but they could not be seen without; and there they are unto this day.

jps@1Kings:8:9 @ There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

jps@1Kings:8:10 @ And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

jps@1Kings:8:11 @ so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

jps@1Kings:8:12 @ Then spoke Solomon: The LORD hath said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.

jps@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built Thee a house of habitation, a place for Thee to dwell in for ever.

jps@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel stood.

jps@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth unto David my father, and hath with His hand fulfilled it, saying:

jps@1Kings:8:16 @ Since the day that I brought forth My people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that My name might be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.

jps@1Kings:8:17 @ Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@1Kings:8:18 @ But the LORD said unto David my father: Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for My name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;

jps@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 for My name.

jps@1Kings:8:20 @ And the LORD hath established His word that He spoke; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@1Kings:8:21 @ And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which He made with our fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.'

jps@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 toward heaven;

jps@1Kings:8:23 @ and he said: 'O LORD, the 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;

jps@1Kings:8:26 @ Now therefore, O God of Israel, let Thy word, I pray Thee, be verified, which Thou didst speak unto Thy servant David my father.

jps@1Kings:8:64 @ The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD; for there he offered the burnt- offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt-offering, and the meal-offering, and the fat of the peace-offerings.

jps@1Chronicles:13:6 @ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, whereon is called the Name.

jps@1Chronicles:13:7 @ And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

jps@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

jps@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.

jps@1Chronicles:14:1 @ And Huram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

jps@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel's sake.

jps@1Chronicles:14:4 @ And these are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon;

jps@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 unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'

jps@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

jps@1Chronicles:14:13 @ And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

jps@1Chronicles:14:14 @ And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

jps@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'

jps@1Chronicles:14:16 @ And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

jps@1Chronicles:14:17 @ And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

jps@1Chronicles:15:1 @ And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

jps@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 the LORD, and to minister unto Him for ever.'

jps@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it.

jps@1Chronicles:15:13 @ For because ye bore it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'

jps@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the bars thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

jps@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 out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.

jps@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 singers in the song; and David had upon him an ephod of linen.

jps@1Chronicles:15:28 @ Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.

jps@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 looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and making merry; and she despised him in her heart.

jps@1Chronicles:16:1 @ And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt- offerings and peace-offerings before God.

jps@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

jps@1Chronicles:16:3 @ And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.

jps@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 of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

jps@2Chronicles:11:5 @ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:11:10 @ and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

jps@2Chronicles:11:11 @ And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.

jps@2Chronicles:11:12 @ And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him.

jps@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.

jps@2Chronicles:11:15 @ and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.

jps@2Chronicles:11:17 @ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:11:21 @ And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines--for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.

jps@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king.

jps@2Chronicles:11:23 @ And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.

jps@2Chronicles:12:1 @ And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

jps@2Chronicles:12:2 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had dealt treacherously with the LORD,

jps@2Chronicles:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD: Ye have forsaken Me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'

jps@2Chronicles:12:6 @ Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said: 'The LORD is righteous.'

jps@2Chronicles:12:7 @ And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying: 'They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

jps@2Chronicles:12:8 @ Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.'

jps@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 away; he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

jps@2Chronicles:12:10 @ And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king's house.

jps@2Chronicles:12:13 @ So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty and one 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 the Ammonitess.

jps@2Chronicles:12:15 @ Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

jps@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 the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.

jps@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;

jps@2Chronicles:13:16 @ And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:13:19 @ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.

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

jps@2Chronicles:14:6 @ And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

jps@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of valour.

jps@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so that none remained alive; for they were shattered before the LORD, and before His host; and they carried away very much booty.

jps@2Chronicles:15:6 @ And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did discomfit them with all manner of adversity.

jps@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words, even the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

jps@2Chronicles:15:11 @ And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

jps@2Chronicles:15:12 @ And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;

jps@2Chronicles:15:16 @ And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

jps@2Chronicles:15:18 @ And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had hallowed, and that he himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.

jps@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa 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.

jps@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa brought out 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 Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:

jps@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 Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'

jps@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

jps@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

jps@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.

jps@2Chronicles:16:14 @ And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.

jps@2Chronicles:17:1 @ And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:17:3 @ And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;

jps@2Chronicles:17:4 @ but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

jps@2Chronicles:17:6 @ And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:17:7 @ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

jps@2Chronicles:17:9 @ And they taught in Judah, having the book of the Law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.

jps@2Chronicles:17:10 @ And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

jps@2Chronicles:17:11 @ And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.

jps@2Chronicles:17:12 @ And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.

jps@2Chronicles:17:13 @ And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:17:14 @ And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand;

jps@2Chronicles:17:16 @ and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;

jps@2Chronicles:17:19 @ These were they that waited on the king beside those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.

jps@2Chronicles:18:2 @ And after a lapse of years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.

jps@2Chronicles:18:3 @ And Ahab king of Israel said unto 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.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:4 @ And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel: 'Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:5 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto 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 hand of the king.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:6 @ But Jehoshaphat said: 'Is there not here besides a prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him?'

jps@2Chronicles:18:7 @ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat: 'There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil; the same is Micaiah the son of Imla.' And Jehoshaphat said: 'Let not the king say so.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:8 @ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said: 'Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:9 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they sat in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

jps@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.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:14 @ And when he was come to the king, the king said unto 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.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:15 @ And the king said to him: 'How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:16 @ And 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 every man to his house in peace.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:17 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: 'Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?'

jps@2Chronicles:18:18 @ And he said: 'Therefore hear ye 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.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:18:21 @ And he said: I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said: Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also; go forth, and do so.

jps@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 concerning thee.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:24 @ And Micaiah said: 'Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.'

jps@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they smote him, and carried away of his a great multitude of 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.

jps@2Chronicles:28:6 @ For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:28:7 @ And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.

jps@2Chronicles:28:9 @ But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them: 'Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was wroth with Judah, He hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage which hath reached up unto heaven.

jps@2Chronicles:28:10 @ And now ye purpose to bring the children of Judah and Jerusalem into subjection for bondmen and bondwomen unto you; but are there not even with you acts of guilt of your own against the LORD your God?

jps@2Chronicles:28:12 @ Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Jehohanan, 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,

jps@2Chronicles:28:13 @ and said unto them: 'Ye shall not bring in the captives hither; for ye purpose that which will bring upon us guilt against the LORD, to add unto our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.'

jps@2Chronicles:28:14 @ So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.

jps@2Chronicles:28:15 @ And the men that have been mentioned by name rose up, 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, unto their brethren; then they returned to Samaria.

jps@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz stripped the house of the LORD, and the house of the king and the princes, and gave thereof unto the king of Assyria; but it helped him not.

jps@2Chronicles:28:22 @ And in the time of his distress did he act even more treacherously against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.

jps@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said: 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.' But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:28:24 @ And Ahaz gathered together 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 him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every city of Judah he made high places to offer unto other gods, and provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:28:27 @ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

jps@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.

jps@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 unto the God of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He hath delivered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:29:10 @ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of Israel, that His fierce anger may turn away from us.

jps@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, be not now negligent; for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before Him, to minister unto Him, and that ye should be His ministers, and offer unto Him.'

jps@2Chronicles:29:15 @ And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:29:16 @ And the priests went in unto 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 to the brook Kidron.

jps@2Chronicles:29:17 @ Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

jps@2Chronicles:29:24 @ and the priests killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all Israel.

jps@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 the commandment was of the LORD by His prophets.

jps@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, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and prostrated themselves.

jps@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.

jps@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said: 'Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD.'

jps@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:29:33 @ And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

jps@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

jps@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 firmly established.

jps@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:30:3 @ For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:30:4 @ And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.

jps@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 unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers according as it is written.

jps@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 back unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

jps@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, as ye see.

jps@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.

jps@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if ye turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.'

jps@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

jps@2Chronicles:30:14 @ And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

jps@2Chronicles:30:15 @ Then they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:16 @ And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.

jps@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passover lambs for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying: 'The good LORD pardon

jps@2Chronicles:30:19 @ every one that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification that pertaineth to holy things.'

jps@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 unto the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly unto all the Levites that were well skilled in the service of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.

jps@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 out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

jps@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.

jps@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

jps@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priest and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

jps@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 appointed seasons, as it is written in the Law of the LORD.

jps@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 give themselves to the law of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:31:5 @ And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave 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 brought they in abundantly.

jps@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 hallowed things which were hallowed unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

jps@2Chronicles:31:7 @ In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

jps@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and His people Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:31:9 @ Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

jps@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 eaten and had enough, and have left plenty; for the LORD hath blessed His people; and that which is left is this great store.'

jps@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

jps@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And they brought in the offerings and the tithes and the hallowed things faithfully; and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.

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

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

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

jps@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto 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 unto the LORD.

jps@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River; and they furthered the people and the house of God.

jps@Ezra:9:4 @ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering.

jps@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening offering I arose up from my fasting, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God;

jps@Ezra:9:6 @ and I 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 guiltiness is grown up unto the heavens.

jps@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD, the God of Israel, Thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before Thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before Thee because of this.'

jps@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore.

jps@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra: 'We have broken faith with our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

jps@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his own house. And after him repaired Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east gate.

jps@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another portion. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber.

jps@Nehemiah:3:31 @ After him repaired Malchijah one of the goldsmiths unto the house of the Nethinim, and of the merchants, over against the gate of Hammiphkad, and to the upper chamber of the corner.

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

jps@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said: 'What do these feeble Jews? will they restore at will? will they sacrifice? will they make an end this day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?'

jps@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up to spoiling in a land of captivity;

jps@Nehemiah:4:5 @ and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before Thee; for they have vexed Thee before the builders.

jps@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof; for the people had a mind to work.

jps@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;

jps@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.

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

jps@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said: 'They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

jps@Nehemiah:4:16 @ And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

jps@Nehemiah:4:17 @ They that builded the wall and they that bore burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;

jps@Nehemiah:4:20 @ in what place soever ye hear the sound of the horn, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we wrought in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

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

jps@Nehemiah:5:1 @ Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

jps@Nehemiah:5:3 @ Some also there were that said: 'We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses; let us get corn, because of the dearth.'

jps@Nehemiah:5:4 @ There were also that said: 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.

jps@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 into bondage already; neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.'

jps@Nehemiah:5:7 @ Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them: 'Ye lend upon pledge, every one to his brother.' And I held a great assembly against them.

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

jps@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundred pieces of silver, and the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.'

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

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

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

jps@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors that were before me laid burdens upon the people, and took of them for bread and wine above forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants lorded over the people; but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

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

jps@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein--though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates--

jps@Nehemiah:6:2 @ that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying: 'Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.' But they thought to do me mischief.

jps@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers unto 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?'

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

jps@Nehemiah:6:6 @ wherein was written: 'It is reported among the nations, and Geshem saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildest the wall; and thou wouldest be their king, even according to these words.

jps@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim 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.'

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

jps@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For they all would have us afraid, saying: 'Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done.' But now, strengthen Thou my hands.

jps@Nehemiah:6:10 @ And as for me, I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, 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.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said: 'Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; for he pronounced this prophecy against me, whereas Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

jps@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this cause 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 taunt me.

jps@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have me put in fear.

jps@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

jps@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard thereof, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

jps@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.

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

jps@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

jps@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,

jps@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said unto them: 'Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them; and let watches be appointed of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.'

jps@Nehemiah:7:4 @ Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

jps@Nehemiah:7:5 @ And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:

jps@Nehemiah:7:73 @ So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities,

jps@Nehemiah:8:1 @ all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.

jps@Nehemiah:8:6 @ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered: 'Amen, Amen', with the lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and fell down before the LORD with their faces to the ground.

jps@Nehemiah:8:7 @ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, even the Levites, caused the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.

jps@Nehemiah:8:8 @ And they read in the book, in the Law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

jps@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said unto them: 'Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye grieved; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'

jps@Nehemiah:8:12 @ And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

jps@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the Law, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;

jps@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: 'Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.'

jps@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 the wards thereof.

jps@Nehemiah:13:16 @ There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

jps@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.'

jps@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 doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath; and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

jps@Nehemiah:13:20 @ So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

jps@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I forewarned them, and said unto them: 'Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you.' From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.

jps@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.

jps@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless even him did the foreign women cause to sin.

jps@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.

jps@Esther:1:3 @ in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the army of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;

jps@Esther:1:4 @ when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty, many days, even a hundred and fourscore days.

jps@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the castle, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

jps@Esther:1:6 @ there were hangings of white, fine cotton, and blue, bordered with cords of fine linen and purple, upon silver rods and pillars of marble; the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of green, and white, and shell, and onyx marble.

jps@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 bounty of the king.

jps@Esther:1:8 @ And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel; for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

jps@Esther:1:9 @ Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Bizzetha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

jps@Esther:1:11 @ to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on.

jps@Esther:1:12 @ But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the chamberlains; therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

jps@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times--for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment;

jps@Esther:1:14 @ and the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat the first in the kingdom:

jps@Esther:1:15 @ 'What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, forasmuch as she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?'

jps@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 peoples, that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it will be said: The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

jps@Esther:1:18 @ And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king's princes. So will there arise enough contempt and wrath.

jps@Esther:1:19 @ If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment 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 that the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.

jps@Esther:1:20 @ And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom, great though it be, all the wives will give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.'

jps@Esther:1:21 @ And the word pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan;

jps@Esther:1:22 @ for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and speak according to the language of his people.

jps@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was assuaged, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

jps@Esther:2:2 @ Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'Let there be sought for the king young virgins fair to look on;

jps@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the castle, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their ointments be given them;

jps@Esther:2:4 @ and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti.' And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

jps@Esther:2:5 @ There was a certain Jew in Shushan the castle, whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair the son of Shimei the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

jps@Esther:2:6 @ who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

jps@Esther:2:8 @ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was published, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the castle, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

jps@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her ointments, with her portions, and the seven maidens, who were meet to be given her out of the king's house; and he advanced her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.

jps@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.

jps@Esther:2:12 @ Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months--for so were the days of their anointing accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six month with sweet odours, and with other ointments of the women--

jps@Esther:2:13 @ when then the maiden came unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

jps@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 unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

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

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

jps@Esther:2:17 @ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour 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.

jps@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

jps@Esther:2:19 @ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, and Mordecai sat in the king's gate--

jps@Esther:2:20 @ Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him--

jps@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 that kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:2:22 @ And the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai's name.

jps@Esther:2:23 @ And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

jps@Esther:3:1 @ After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

jps@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.

jps@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai: 'Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?'

jps@Esther:3:6 @ But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to 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.

jps@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which 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, which is the month Adar.

jps@Esther:3:8 @ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus: 'There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king's laws; therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.

jps@Esther:3:9 @ If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.'

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

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

jps@Esther:3:12 @ Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.

jps@Esther:3:13 @ And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, 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.

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

jps@Esther:3:15 @ The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle; and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

jps@Esther:4:1 @ Now when Mordecai knew 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;

jps@Esther:4:2 @ and he came even before the king's gate; for none might enter within the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

jps@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.

jps@Esther:4:4 @ And Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly pained; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai; and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he accepted it not.

jps@Esther:4:5 @ Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

jps@Esther:4:6 @ So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.

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

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

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

jps@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mordecai bade them to return answer unto Esther: 'Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

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

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

jps@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 entrance of the house.

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

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

jps@Esther:5:5 @ Then the king said: 'Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said.' So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

jps@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.

jps@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and everything as to how the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

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

jps@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.'

jps@Esther:5:14 @ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: 'Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon; then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.'

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

jps@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

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

jps@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in. And the king said unto him: 'What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?'--Now Haman said in his heart: 'Whom would the king delight to honour besides myself?'--

jps@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman said unto the king: 'For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

jps@Esther:6:8 @ let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on whose head a crown royal is set;

jps@Esther:7:4 @ for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, for the adversary is not worthy that the king be endamaged.'

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