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

akjv@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall you take for a prey to yourselves: lay you an ambush for the city behind it.

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

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

akjv@Joshua:10:3 @ Why Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,

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

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

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

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

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

akjv@Joshua:10:28 @ And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.

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

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

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

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

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

akjv@Joshua:10:42 @ And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

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

akjv@Joshua:11:2 @ And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

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

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

akjv@Joshua:13:21 @ And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.

akjv@Joshua:13:27 @ And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even to the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.

akjv@Joshua:13:30 @ And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, three score cities:

akjv@Joshua:15:7 @ And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:

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

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

akjv@Judges:1:7 @ And Adonibezek said, Three score and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

akjv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

akjv@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came on him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

akjv@Judges:3:12 @ And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

akjv@Judges:3:14 @ So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

akjv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man left handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon the king of Moab.

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

akjv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to you, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

akjv@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelled in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

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

akjv@Judges:4:23 @ So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.

akjv@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

akjv@Judges:5:3 @ Hear, O you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

akjv@Judges:8:5 @ And he said to the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

akjv@Judges:8:12 @ And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.

akjv@Judges:8:18 @ Then said he to Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom you slew at Tabor? And they answered, As you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.

akjv@Judges:8:26 @ And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels'necks.

akjv@Judges:9:6 @ And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

akjv@Judges:9:8 @ The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive tree, Reign you over us.

akjv@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said to the trees, If in truth you anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

akjv@Judges:9:16 @ Now therefore, if you have done truly and sincerely, in that you have made Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the deserving of his hands;

akjv@Judges:9:18 @ And you are risen up against my father' house this day, and have slain his sons, three score and ten persons, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)

akjv@Judges:11:12 @ And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?

akjv@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.

akjv@1Samuel:12:25 @ But if you shall still do wickedly, you shall be consumed, both you and your king.

akjv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly: you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you: for now would the LORD have established your kingdom on Israel for ever.

akjv@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not continue: the LORD has sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be captain over his people, because you have not kept that which the LORD commanded you.

akjv@1Samuel:14:47 @ So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and wherever he turned himself, he vexed them.

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

akjv@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king' son in law: and the days were not expired.

akjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ Why David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king' son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

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

akjv@2Samuel:20:3 @ And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

akjv@2Samuel:20:4 @ Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be you here present.

akjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.

akjv@2Samuel:20:22 @ Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

akjv@2Samuel:21:2 @ And the king called the Gibeonites, and said to them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)

akjv@2Samuel:21:5 @ And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,

akjv@2Samuel:21:6 @ Let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.

akjv@2Samuel:21:7 @ But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD' oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

akjv@2Samuel:21:8 @ But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

akjv@2Samuel:21:14 @ And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulcher of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.

akjv@2Samuel:22:51 @ He is the tower of salvation for his king: and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for ever more.

akjv@2Samuel:24:2 @ For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number you the people, that I may know the number of the people.

akjv@2Samuel:24:3 @ And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD your God add to the people, how many soever they be, an hundred times, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?

akjv@2Samuel:24:4 @ Notwithstanding the king' word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.

akjv@2Samuel:24:9 @ And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people to the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

akjv@2Samuel:24:20 @ And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face on the ground.

akjv@2Samuel:24:21 @ And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor of you, to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

akjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seems good to him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.

akjv@2Samuel:24:23 @ All these things did Araunah, as a king, give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, The LORD your God accept you.

akjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will surely buy it of you at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God of that which does cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

akjv@1Kings:1:1 @ Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he got no heat.

akjv@1Kings:1:2 @ Why his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.

akjv@1Kings:1:3 @ So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

akjv@1Kings:1:10 @ But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.

akjv@1Kings:1:11 @ Why Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith does reign, and David our lord knows it not?

akjv@1Kings:1:19 @ And he has slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon your servant has he not called.

akjv@1Kings:1:20 @ And you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, that you should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

akjv@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

akjv@1Kings:1:22 @ And, see, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

akjv@1Kings:1:23 @ And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

akjv@1Kings:1:24 @ And Nathan said, My lord, O king, have you said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne?

akjv@1Kings:1:36 @ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.

akjv@1Kings:1:37 @ As the LORD has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

akjv@1Kings:1:38 @ So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride on king David' mule, and brought him to Gihon.

akjv@1Kings:1:39 @ And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:1:40 @ And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.

akjv@1Kings:1:41 @ And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

akjv@1Kings:1:42 @ And while he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said to him, Come in; for you are a valiant man, and bring good tidings.

akjv@1Kings:1:43 @ And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Truly our lord king David has made Solomon king.

akjv@1Kings:1:44 @ And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride on the king' mule:

akjv@1Kings:1:46 @ And also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

akjv@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king' servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne. And the king bowed himself on the bed.

akjv@1Kings:1:48 @ And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which has given one to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.

akjv@1Kings:1:49 @ And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.

akjv@1Kings:1:50 @ And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

akjv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon: for, see, he has caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.

akjv@1Kings:1:52 @ And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.

akjv@1Kings:1:53 @ So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

akjv@1Kings:2:1 @ Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

akjv@1Kings:2:2 @ I go the way of all the earth: be you strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

akjv@1Kings:2:3 @ And keep the charge of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself:

akjv@1Kings:2:4 @ That the LORD may continue his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:2:5 @ Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

akjv@1Kings:2:6 @ Do therefore according to your wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.

akjv@1Kings:2:7 @ But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at your table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom your brother.

akjv@1Kings:2:8 @ And, behold, you have with you Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I swore to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

akjv@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for you are a wise man, and know what you ought to do to him; but his hoar head bring you down to the grave with blood.

akjv@1Kings:2:10 @ So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

akjv@1Kings:2:11 @ And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

akjv@1Kings:2:12 @ Then sat Solomon on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

akjv@1Kings:2:13 @ And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

akjv@1Kings:2:14 @ He said moreover, I have somewhat to say to you. And she said, Say on.

akjv@1Kings:2:15 @ And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: however, the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother': for it was his from the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:2:16 @ And now I ask one petition of you, deny me not. And she said to him, Say on.

akjv@1Kings:2:17 @ And he said, Speak, I pray you, to Solomon the king, (for he will not say you no,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

akjv@1Kings:2:18 @ And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for you to the king.

akjv@1Kings:2:19 @ Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king' mother; and she sat on his right hand.

akjv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, I desire one small petition of you; I pray you, say me not no. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say you no.

akjv@1Kings:2:21 @ And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother to wife.

akjv@1Kings:2:22 @ And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

akjv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then king Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

akjv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as the LORD lives, which has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

akjv@1Kings:2:25 @ And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him that he died.

akjv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Get you to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death: but I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because you have been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

akjv@1Kings:2:27 @ So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to the LORD; that he might fulfill the word of the LORD, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

akjv@1Kings:2:28 @ Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

akjv@1Kings:2:29 @ And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled to the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.

akjv@1Kings:2:30 @ And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, Thus said the king, Come forth. And he said, No; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

akjv@1Kings:2:31 @ And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

akjv@1Kings:2:32 @ And the LORD shall return his blood on his own head, who fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

akjv@1Kings:2:33 @ Their blood shall therefore return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for ever: but on David, and on his seed, and on his house, and on his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:2:34 @ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

akjv@1Kings:2:35 @ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

akjv@1Kings:2:36 @ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build you an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth there any where.

akjv@1Kings:2:37 @ For it shall be, that on the day you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, you shall know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your own head.

akjv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And Shimei dwelled in Jerusalem many days.

akjv@1Kings:2:39 @ And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, your servants be in Gath.

akjv@1Kings:2:40 @ And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

akjv@1Kings:2:41 @ And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

akjv@1Kings:2:42 @ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you to swear by the LORD, and protested to you, saying, Know for a certain, on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, that you shall surely die? and you said to me, The word that I have heard is good.

akjv@1Kings:2:43 @ Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged you with?

akjv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king said moreover to Shimei, You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return your wickedness on your own head;

akjv@1Kings:2:45 @ And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

akjv@1Kings:2:46 @ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell on him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:3:1 @ And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh' daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.

akjv@1Kings:3:2 @ Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built to the name of the LORD, until those days.

akjv@1Kings:3:3 @ And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

akjv@1Kings:3:4 @ And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer on that altar.

akjv@1Kings:3:5 @ In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give you.

akjv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said, You have showed to your servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before you in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with you; and you have kept for him this great kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

akjv@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.

akjv@1Kings:3:8 @ And your servant is in the middle of your people which you have chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.

akjv@1Kings:3:9 @ Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this your so great a people?

akjv@1Kings:3:10 @ And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.

akjv@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life; neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies; but have asked for yourself understanding to discern judgment;

akjv@1Kings:3:12 @ Behold, I have done according to your words: see, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like you before you, neither after you shall any arise like to you.

akjv@1Kings:3:13 @ And I have also given you that which you have not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like to you all your days.

akjv@1Kings:3:14 @ And if you will walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as your father David did walk, then I will lengthen your days.

akjv@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.

akjv@1Kings:3:16 @ Then came there two women, that were harlots, to the king, and stood before him.

akjv@1Kings:3:17 @ And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.

akjv@1Kings:3:18 @ And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.

akjv@1Kings:3:19 @ And this woman' child died in the night; because she overlaid it.

akjv@1Kings:3:20 @ And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while your handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.

akjv@1Kings:3:21 @ And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.

akjv@1Kings:3:22 @ And the other woman said, No; but the living is my son, and the dead is your son. And this said, No; but the dead is your son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.

akjv@1Kings:3:23 @ Then said the king, The one said, This is my son that lives, and your son is the dead: and the other said, No; but your son is the dead, and my son is the living.

akjv@1Kings:3:24 @ And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.

akjv@1Kings:3:25 @ And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.

akjv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then spoke the woman whose the living child was to the king, for her bowels yearned on her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither my nor yours, but divide it.

akjv@1Kings:3:27 @ Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.

akjv@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.

akjv@1Kings:4:1 @ So king Solomon was king over all Israel.

akjv@1Kings:4:2 @ And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,

akjv@1Kings:4:3 @ Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.

akjv@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

akjv@1Kings:4:21 @ And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

akjv@1Kings:4:22 @ And Solomon' provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and three score measures of meal,

akjv@1Kings:4:23 @ Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallow deer, and fatted fowl.

akjv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

akjv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelled safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:4:26 @ And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

akjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came to king Solomon' table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.

akjv@1Kings:4:28 @ Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they to the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.

akjv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

akjv@1Kings:4:30 @ And Solomon' wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

akjv@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.

akjv@1Kings:4:32 @ And he spoke three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.

akjv@1Kings:4:33 @ And he spoke of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall: he spoke also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

akjv@1Kings:4:34 @ And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.

akjv@1Kings:5:1 @ And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.

akjv@1Kings:5:2 @ And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,

akjv@1Kings:5:3 @ You know how that David my father could not build an house to the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

akjv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil result.

akjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And, behold, I purpose to build an house to the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your room, he shall build an house to my name.

akjv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore command you that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with your servants: and to you will I give hire for your servants according to all that you shall appoint: for you know that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like to the Sidonians.

akjv@1Kings:5:7 @ And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which has given to David a wise son over this great people.

akjv@1Kings:5:8 @ And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which you sent to me for: and I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

akjv@1Kings:5:9 @ My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and you shall receive them: and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

akjv@1Kings:5:10 @ So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.

akjv@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.

akjv@1Kings:5:12 @ And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.

akjv@1Kings:5:13 @ And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

akjv@1Kings:5:14 @ And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.

akjv@1Kings:5:15 @ And Solomon had three score and ten thousand that bore burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;

akjv@1Kings:5:16 @ Beside the chief of Solomon' officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that worked in the work.

akjv@1Kings:5:17 @ And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

akjv@1Kings:5:18 @ And Solomon' builders and Hiram' builders did hew them, and the stone squarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.

akjv@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon' reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:6:2 @ And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.

akjv@1Kings:6:3 @ And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.

akjv@1Kings:6:4 @ And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

akjv@1Kings:6:5 @ And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:

akjv@1Kings:6:6 @ The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.

akjv@1Kings:6:7 @ And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor ax nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

akjv@1Kings:6:8 @ The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.

akjv@1Kings:6:9 @ So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.

akjv@1Kings:6:10 @ And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

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

akjv@1Kings:6:12 @ Concerning this house which you are in building, if you will walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with you, which I spoke to David your father:

akjv@1Kings:6:13 @ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

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

akjv@1Kings:6:15 @ And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

akjv@1Kings:6:16 @ And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.

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

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

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

akjv@1Kings:6:20 @ And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.

akjv@1Kings:6:21 @ So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

akjv@1Kings:6:22 @ And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.

akjv@1Kings:6:23 @ And within the oracle he made two cherubim of olive tree, each ten cubits high.

akjv@1Kings:6:24 @ And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing to the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:6:27 @ And he set the cherubim within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

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

akjv@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.

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

akjv@1Kings:6:31 @ And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.

akjv@1Kings:6:32 @ The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.

akjv@1Kings:6:33 @ So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.

akjv@1Kings:6:34 @ And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.

akjv@1Kings:6:35 @ And he carved thereon cherubim and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted on the carved work.

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

akjv@1Kings:6:37 @ In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:

akjv@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.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:2 @ He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:4 @ And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.

akjv@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

akjv@1Kings:7:8 @ And his house where he dwelled had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh' daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like to this porch.

akjv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:11 @ And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.

akjv@1Kings:7:12 @ And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was a widow' son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and worked all his work.

akjv@1Kings:7:15 @ For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:17 @ And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other capital.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:7:20 @ And the capitals on the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about on the other capital.

akjv@1Kings:7:21 @ And he set up the pillars in 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.

akjv@1Kings:7:22 @ And on the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.

akjv@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

akjv@1Kings:7:24 @ And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.

akjv@1Kings:7:25 @ It stood on 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 above on them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

akjv@1Kings:7:26 @ And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was worked like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

akjv@1Kings:7:27 @ And he made 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.

akjv@1Kings:7:28 @ And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:

akjv@1Kings:7:29 @ And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and on the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.

akjv@1Kings:7:30 @ And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had supports: under the laver were supports molten, at the side of every addition.

akjv@1Kings:7:31 @ And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also on the mouth of it were engravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

akjv@1Kings:7:32 @ And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:34 @ And there were four supports to the four corners of one base: and the supports were of the very base itself.

akjv@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 ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.

akjv@1Kings:7:36 @ For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:38 @ Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and on every one of the ten bases one laver.

akjv@1Kings:7:39 @ And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:7:42 @ And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

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

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

akjv@1Kings:7:45 @ And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.

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

akjv@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

akjv@1Kings:7:48 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the show bread was,

akjv@1Kings:7:49 @ And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,

akjv@1Kings:7:50 @ And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.

akjv@1Kings:7:51 @ So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:8:4 @ And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

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

akjv@1Kings:8:6 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

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

akjv@1Kings:8:8 @ And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are to this day.

akjv@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.

akjv@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,

akjv@1Kings:8:11 @ So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:8:12 @ Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

akjv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built you an house to dwell in, a settled place for you to abide in for ever.

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

akjv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

akjv@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 an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

akjv@1Kings:8:17 @ And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:8:18 @ And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house to my name, you did well that it was in your heart.

akjv@1Kings:8:19 @ Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house to my name.

akjv@1Kings:8:20 @ And the LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and 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 an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:8:21 @ And I have set there 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.

akjv@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:

akjv@1Kings:8:23 @ And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keep covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with all their heart:

akjv@1Kings:8:24 @ Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.

akjv@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me.

akjv@1Kings:8:26 @ And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

akjv@1Kings:8:27 @ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built?

akjv@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you to day:

akjv@1Kings:8:29 @ That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there: that you may listen to the prayer which your servant shall make toward this place.

akjv@1Kings:8:30 @ And listen you to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear you in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.

akjv@1Kings:8:31 @ If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house:

akjv@1Kings:8:32 @ Then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

akjv@1Kings:8:33 @ When your people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray, and make supplication to you in this house:

akjv@1Kings:8:35 @ When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:

akjv@1Kings:8:36 @ Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, that you teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.

akjv@1Kings:8:37 @ If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be;

akjv@1Kings:8:38 @ What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:

akjv@1Kings:8:46 @ If they sin against you, (for there is no man that sins not,) and you be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;

akjv@1Kings:8:52 @ That your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call for to you.

akjv@1Kings:8:53 @ For you did separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.

akjv@1Kings:8:54 @ And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

akjv@1Kings:8:55 @ And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

akjv@1Kings:8:56 @ Blessed be the LORD, that has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

akjv@1Kings:8:57 @ The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:

akjv@1Kings:8:58 @ That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.

akjv@1Kings:8:59 @ And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:

akjv@1Kings:8:60 @ That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.

akjv@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

akjv@1Kings:8:62 @ And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.

akjv@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 burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

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

akjv@1Kings:8:66 @ On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.

akjv@1Kings:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king' house, and all Solomon' desire which he was pleased to do,

akjv@1Kings:9:2 @ That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

akjv@1Kings:9:3 @ And the LORD said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have hallowed this house, which you have built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.

akjv@1Kings:9:4 @ And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my judgments:

akjv@1Kings:9:5 @ Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom on Israel for ever, as I promised to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:9:6 @ But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:

akjv@1Kings:9:7 @ Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

akjv@1Kings:9:8 @ And at this house, which is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?

akjv@1Kings:9:9 @ And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold on other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore has the LORD brought on them all this evil.

akjv@1Kings:9:10 @ And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king' house,

akjv@1Kings:9:11 @ (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

akjv@1Kings:9:12 @ And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.

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

akjv@1Kings:9:14 @ And Hiram sent to the king six score talents of gold.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:9:17 @ And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,

akjv@1Kings:9:18 @ And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,

akjv@1Kings:9:19 @ And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

akjv@1Kings:9:20 @ And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,

akjv@1Kings:9:21 @ Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, on those did Solomon levy a tribute of slavery to this day.

akjv@1Kings:9:22 @ But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no slaves: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.

akjv@1Kings:9:23 @ These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon' work, five hundred and fifty, which bore rule over the people that worked in the work.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:9:26 @ And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.

akjv@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.

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

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

akjv@1Kings:10:2 @ And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

akjv@1Kings:10:3 @ And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.

akjv@1Kings:10:4 @ And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon' wisdom, and the house that he had built,

akjv@1Kings:10:5 @ And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

akjv@1Kings:10:6 @ And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in my own land of your acts and of your wisdom.

akjv@1Kings:10:7 @ However, I believed not the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: your wisdom and prosperity exceeds the fame which I heard.

akjv@1Kings:10:8 @ Happy are your men, happy are these your servants, which stand continually before you, and that hear your wisdom.

akjv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be the LORD your God, which delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he you king, to do judgment and justice.

akjv@1Kings:10:10 @ And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

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

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

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

akjv@1Kings:10:14 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred three score and six talents of gold,

akjv@1Kings:10:15 @ Beside that he had of the merchants, and of the traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.

akjv@1Kings:10:16 @ And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.

akjv@1Kings:10:17 @ And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

akjv@1Kings:10:18 @ Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.

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

akjv@1Kings:10:20 @ And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other on the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.

akjv@1Kings:10:21 @ And all king Solomon' drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:10:22 @ For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

akjv@1Kings:10:23 @ So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.

akjv@1Kings:10:24 @ And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

akjv@1Kings:10:25 @ And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

akjv@1Kings:10:26 @ And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.

akjv@1Kings:10:27 @ And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.

akjv@1Kings:10:28 @ And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king' merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

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

akjv@1Kings:11:1 @ But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

akjv@1Kings:11:2 @ Of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon joined to these in love.

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

akjv@1Kings:11:4 @ For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

akjv@1Kings:11:5 @ For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

akjv@1Kings:11:6 @ And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

akjv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

akjv@1Kings:11:8 @ And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

akjv@1Kings:11:9 @ And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared to him twice,

akjv@1Kings:11:10 @ And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

akjv@1Kings:11:11 @ Why the LORD said to Solomon, For as much as this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

akjv@1Kings:11:12 @ Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it for David your father' sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of your son.

akjv@1Kings:11:13 @ However, I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to your son for David my servant' sake, and for Jerusalem' sake which I have chosen.

akjv@1Kings:11:14 @ And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king' seed in Edom.

akjv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;

akjv@1Kings:11:16 @ (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)

akjv@1Kings:11:17 @ That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father' servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.

akjv@1Kings:11:18 @ And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

akjv@1Kings:11:19 @ And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

akjv@1Kings:11:20 @ And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh' house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh' household among the sons of Pharaoh.

akjv@1Kings:11:21 @ And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.

akjv@1Kings:11:22 @ Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me, that, behold, you seek to go to your own country? And he answered, Nothing: however, let me go in any wise.

akjv@1Kings:11:23 @ And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

akjv@1Kings:11:24 @ And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelled therein, and reigned in Damascus.

akjv@1Kings:11:25 @ And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

akjv@1Kings:11:26 @ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon' servant, whose mother' name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.

akjv@1Kings:11:27 @ And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.

akjv@1Kings:11:28 @ And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

akjv@1Kings:11:29 @ And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:

akjv@1Kings:11:30 @ And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:

akjv@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jeroboam, Take you ten pieces: for thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you:

akjv@1Kings:11:32 @ (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David' sake, and for Jerusalem' sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)

akjv@1Kings:11:33 @ Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

akjv@1Kings:11:34 @ However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant' sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

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

akjv@1Kings:11:36 @ And to his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

akjv@1Kings:11:37 @ And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

akjv@1Kings:11:38 @ And it shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

akjv@1Kings:11:39 @ And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

akjv@1Kings:11:40 @ Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:11:41 @ And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

akjv@1Kings:11:42 @ And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

akjv@1Kings:11:43 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@1Kings:12:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

akjv@1Kings:12:2 @ And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelled in Egypt;)

akjv@1Kings:12:3 @ That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

akjv@1Kings:12:4 @ Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make you the grievous service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, lighter, and we will serve you.

akjv@1Kings:12:5 @ And he said to them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

akjv@1Kings:12:6 @ And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do you advise that I may answer this people?

akjv@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a servant to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.

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

akjv@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, What counsel give you that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which your father did put on us lighter?

akjv@1Kings:12:10 @ And the young men that were grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus shall you speak to this people that spoke to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it lighter to us; thus shall you say to them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father' loins.

akjv@1Kings:12:11 @ And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father has chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

akjv@1Kings:12:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

akjv@1Kings:12:13 @ And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men' counsel that they gave him;

akjv@1Kings:12:14 @ And spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

akjv@1Kings:12:15 @ Why the king listened not to the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

akjv@1Kings:12:16 @ So when all Israel saw that the king listened not to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.

akjv@1Kings:12:17 @ But as for the children of Israel which dwelled in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

akjv@1Kings:12:18 @ Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

akjv@1Kings:12:19 @ So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.

akjv@1Kings:12:20 @ And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

akjv@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

akjv@1Kings:12:22 @ But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

akjv@1Kings:12:23 @ Speak to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,

akjv@1Kings:12:24 @ Thus said the LORD, You shall not go up, nor fight against your brothers the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They listened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:12:25 @ Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelled therein; and went out from there, and built Penuel.

akjv@1Kings:12:26 @ And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:

akjv@1Kings:12:27 @ If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

akjv@1Kings:12:28 @ Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

akjv@1Kings:12:29 @ And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Daniel.

akjv@1Kings:12:30 @ And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even to Daniel.

akjv@1Kings:12:31 @ And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

akjv@1Kings:12:32 @ And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like to the feast that is in Judah, and he offered on the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.

akjv@1Kings:12:33 @ So he offered on the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast to the children of Israel: and he offered on the altar, and burnt incense.

akjv@1Kings:13:1 @ And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

akjv@1Kings:13:2 @ And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus said the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense on you, and men' bones shall be burnt on you.

akjv@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD has spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are on it shall be poured out.

akjv@1Kings:13:4 @ And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

akjv@1Kings:18:10 @ As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom, where my lord has not sent to seek you: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found you not.

akjv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

akjv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry you where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he shall slay me: but I your servant fear the LORD from my youth.

akjv@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD' prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

akjv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.

akjv@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him to day.

akjv@1Kings:18:16 @ So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

akjv@1Kings:18:17 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Are you he that troubles Israel?

akjv@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father' house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed Baalim.

akjv@1Kings:18:19 @ Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel' table.

akjv@1Kings:18:20 @ So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.

akjv@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long halt you between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

akjv@1Kings:18:22 @ Then said Elijah to the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal' prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

akjv@1Kings:18:23 @ Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:

akjv@1Kings:18:24 @ And call you on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answers by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

akjv@1Kings:18:25 @ And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for you are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

akjv@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped on the altar which was made.

akjv@1Kings:18:27 @ And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleeps, and must be awaked.

akjv@1Kings:18:28 @ And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out on them.

akjv@1Kings:18:29 @ And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

akjv@1Kings:18:30 @ And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.

akjv@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be your name:

akjv@1Kings:18:32 @ And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

akjv@1Kings:18:33 @ And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

akjv@1Kings:18:34 @ And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.

akjv@1Kings:18:35 @ And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

akjv@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.

akjv@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you are the LORD God, and that you have turned their heart back again.

akjv@1Kings:18:38 @ Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

akjv@1Kings:18:39 @ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.

akjv@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

akjv@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Get you up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

akjv@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees,

akjv@1Kings:18:43 @ And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.

akjv@1Kings:18:44 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there rises a little cloud out of the sea, like a man' hand. And he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and get you down that the rain stop you not.

akjv@1Kings:18:45 @ And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

akjv@1Kings:18:46 @ And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

akjv@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and with how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.

akjv@1Kings:19:2 @ Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not your life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.

akjv@1Kings:19:3 @ And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

akjv@1Kings:19:4 @ But he himself went a day' journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

akjv@1Kings:19:5 @ And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.

akjv@1Kings:19:6 @ And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.

akjv@1Kings:19:7 @ And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for you.

akjv@1Kings:19:8 @ And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.

akjv@1Kings:19:9 @ And he came thither to a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, What do you here, Elijah?

akjv@1Kings:19:10 @ And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

akjv@1Kings:19:11 @ And he said, Go forth, and stand on the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:

akjv@1Kings:19:12 @ And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

akjv@1Kings:19:13 @ And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice to him, and said, What do you here, Elijah?

akjv@1Kings:19:14 @ And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and slain your prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

akjv@1Kings:19:15 @ And the LORD said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when you come, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:

akjv@1Kings:19:16 @ And Jehu the son of Nimshi shall you anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.

akjv@1Kings:19:17 @ And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapes from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.

akjv@1Kings:19:18 @ Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.

akjv@1Kings:19:19 @ So he departed there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle on him.

akjv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray you, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back again: for what have I done to you?

akjv@1Kings:19:21 @ And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.

akjv@1Kings:20:1 @ And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

akjv@1Kings:20:2 @ And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus said Benhadad,

akjv@1Kings:20:3 @ Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.

akjv@1Kings:20:4 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to your saying, I am yours, and all that I have.

akjv@1Kings:20:5 @ And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent to you, saying, You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;

akjv@1Kings:20:6 @ Yet I will send my servants to you to morrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.

akjv@1Kings:20:7 @ Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

akjv@1Kings:20:8 @ And all the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not to him, nor consent.

akjv@1Kings:20:9 @ Why he said to the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send for to your servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

akjv@1Kings:20:10 @ And Benhadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.

akjv@1Kings:20:11 @ And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on his harness boast himself as he that puts it off.

akjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.

akjv@1Kings:20:13 @ And, behold, there came a prophet to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus said the LORD, Have you seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:20:14 @ And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus said the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, You.

akjv@1Kings:20:15 @ Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

akjv@1Kings:20:16 @ And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.

akjv@1Kings:20:17 @ And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.

akjv@1Kings:20:18 @ And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

akjv@1Kings:20:19 @ So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.

akjv@1Kings:20:20 @ And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.

akjv@1Kings:20:21 @ And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.

akjv@1Kings:20:22 @ And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.

akjv@1Kings:20:23 @ And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

akjv@1Kings:20:24 @ And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:

akjv@1Kings:20:25 @ And number you an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he listened to their voice, and did so.

akjv@1Kings:20:26 @ And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.

akjv@1Kings:20:27 @ And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.

akjv@1Kings:20:28 @ And there came a man of God, and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus said the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

akjv@1Kings:20:29 @ And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.

akjv@1Kings:20:30 @ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell on twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

akjv@1Kings:20:31 @ And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save your life.

akjv@1Kings:20:32 @ So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad said, I pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

akjv@1Kings:20:33 @ Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

akjv@1Kings:20:34 @ And Ben-hadad said to him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.

akjv@1Kings:20:35 @ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray you. And the man refused to smite him.

akjv@1Kings:20:36 @ Then said he to him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.

akjv@1Kings:20:37 @ Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray you. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.

akjv@1Kings:20:38 @ So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes on his face.

akjv@1Kings:20:39 @ And as the king passed by, he cried to the king: and he said, Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

akjv@1Kings:20:40 @ And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.

akjv@1Kings:20:41 @ And he hurried, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.

akjv@1Kings:20:42 @ And he said to him, Thus said the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.

akjv@1Kings:20:43 @ And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

akjv@1Kings:21:1 @ And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

akjv@1Kings:21:2 @ And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house: and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to you, I will give you the worth of it in money.

akjv@1Kings:21:3 @ And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.

akjv@1Kings:21:4 @ And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

akjv@1Kings:21:5 @ But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?

akjv@1Kings:21:6 @ And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it please you, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give you my vineyard.

akjv@1Kings:21:7 @ And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry: I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

akjv@1Kings:21:8 @ So she wrote letters in Ahab' name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

akjv@1Kings:21:9 @ And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

akjv@1Kings:21:10 @ And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, You did blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

akjv@1Kings:21:11 @ And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

akjv@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

akjv@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

akjv@1Kings:21:16 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

akjv@1Kings:22:21 @ And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.

akjv@1Kings:22:22 @ And the LORD said to him, With which? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

akjv@1Kings:22:23 @ Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.

akjv@1Kings:22:24 @ But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to you?

akjv@1Kings:22:25 @ And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

akjv@1Kings:22:26 @ And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king' son;

akjv@1Kings:22:27 @ And say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

akjv@1Kings:22:28 @ And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Listen, O people, every one of you.

akjv@1Kings:22:29 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

akjv@1Kings:22:30 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put you on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

akjv@1Kings:22:31 @ But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:22:32 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

akjv@1Kings:22:33 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

akjv@1Kings:22:34 @ And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: why he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

akjv@1Kings:22:35 @ And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middle of the chariot.

akjv@1Kings:22:36 @ And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.

akjv@1Kings:22:37 @ So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

akjv@1Kings:22:38 @ And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armor; according to the word of the LORD which he spoke.

akjv@1Kings:22:39 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

akjv@1Kings:22:40 @ So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@1Kings:22:41 @ And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:22:42 @ Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother' name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

akjv@1Kings:22:43 @ And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.

akjv@1Kings:22:44 @ And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

akjv@1Kings:22:45 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

akjv@1Kings:22:46 @ And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.

akjv@1Kings:22:47 @ There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

akjv@1Kings:22:48 @ Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.

akjv@1Kings:22:49 @ Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

akjv@1Kings:22:50 @ And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@1Kings:22:51 @ Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

akjv@1Kings:22:52 @ And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:

akjv@1Kings:22:53 @ For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.

akjv@2Kings:1:1 @ Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

akjv@2Kings:1:2 @ And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.

akjv@2Kings:1:3 @ But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?

akjv@2Kings:1:4 @ Now therefore thus said the LORD, You shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die. And Elijah departed.

akjv@2Kings:1:5 @ And when the messengers turned back to him, he said to them, Why are you now turned back?

akjv@2Kings:1:6 @ And they said to him, There came a man up to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus said the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore you shall not come down from that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.

akjv@2Kings:1:7 @ And he said to them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?

akjv@2Kings:1:8 @ And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

akjv@2Kings:1:9 @ Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, You man of God, the king has said, Come down.

akjv@2Kings:1:10 @ And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

akjv@2Kings:1:11 @ Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly.

akjv@2Kings:1:12 @ And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

akjv@2Kings:1:13 @ And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and sought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray you, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.

akjv@2Kings:1:14 @ Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.

akjv@2Kings:1:15 @ And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.

akjv@2Kings:1:16 @ And he said to him, Thus said the LORD, For as much as you have sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore you shall not come down off that bed on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.

akjv@2Kings:1:17 @ So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

akjv@2Kings:1:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

akjv@2Kings:2:1 @ And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

akjv@2Kings:2:2 @ And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said to him, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel.

akjv@2Kings:2:3 @ And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.

akjv@2Kings:2:4 @ And Elijah said to him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray you; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho.

akjv@2Kings:2:5 @ And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said to him, Know you that the LORD will take away your master from your head to day? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold you your peace.

akjv@2Kings:2:6 @ And Elijah said to him, Tarry, I pray you, here; for the LORD has sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And they two went on.

akjv@2Kings:2:7 @ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.

akjv@2Kings:2:8 @ And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

akjv@2Kings:2:9 @ And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you, before I be taken away from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be on me.

akjv@2Kings:2:10 @ And he said, You have asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so to you; but if not, it shall not be so.

akjv@2Kings:2:11 @ And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

akjv@2Kings:2:12 @ And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

akjv@2Kings:2:13 @ He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

akjv@2Kings:2:14 @ And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and thither: and Elisha went over.

akjv@2Kings:2:15 @ And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah does rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

akjv@2Kings:2:16 @ And they said to him, Behold now, there be with your servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You shall not send.

akjv@2Kings:2:17 @ And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

akjv@2Kings:2:18 @ And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?

akjv@2Kings:2:19 @ And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, I pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.

akjv@2Kings:2:20 @ And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.

akjv@2Kings:2:21 @ And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus said the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from there any more death or barren land.

akjv@2Kings:2:22 @ So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.

akjv@2Kings:2:23 @ And he went up from there to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you bald head; go up, you bald head.

akjv@2Kings:2:24 @ And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.

akjv@2Kings:2:25 @ And he went from there to mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

akjv@2Kings:3:1 @ Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

akjv@2Kings:3:2 @ And he worked evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.

akjv@2Kings:3:3 @ Nevertheless he joined to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

akjv@2Kings:3:4 @ And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep master, and rendered to the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

akjv@2Kings:3:5 @ But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

akjv@2Kings:3:6 @ And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.

akjv@2Kings:3:7 @ And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.

akjv@2Kings:3:8 @ And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.

akjv@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days'journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.

akjv@2Kings:3:10 @ And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!

akjv@2Kings:3:11 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel' servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.

akjv@2Kings:3:12 @ And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

akjv@2Kings:3:13 @ And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? get you to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

akjv@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.

akjv@2Kings:3:15 @ But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him.

akjv@2Kings:3:16 @ And he said, Thus said the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.

akjv@2Kings:3:17 @ For thus said the LORD, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that you may drink, both you, and your cattle, and your beasts.

akjv@2Kings:3:18 @ And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

akjv@2Kings:3:19 @ And you shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

akjv@2Kings:3:20 @ And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

akjv@2Kings:3:21 @ And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.

akjv@2Kings:3:22 @ And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:

akjv@2Kings:3:23 @ And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

akjv@2Kings:3:24 @ And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.

akjv@2Kings:3:25 @ And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; however, the slingers went about it, and smote it.

akjv@2Kings:3:26 @ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even to the king of Edom: but they could not.

akjv@2Kings:3:27 @ Then he took his oldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

akjv@2Kings:4:1 @ Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take to him my two sons to be slaves.

akjv@2Kings:4:2 @ And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me, what have you in the house? And she said, Your handmaid has not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

akjv@2Kings:4:3 @ Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

akjv@2Kings:4:4 @ And when you are come in, you shall shut the door on you and on your sons, and shall pour out into all those vessels, and you shall set aside that which is full.

akjv@2Kings:4:5 @ So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.

akjv@2Kings:4:6 @ And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

akjv@2Kings:4:7 @ Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and live you and your children of the rest.

akjv@2Kings:4:8 @ And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

akjv@2Kings:4:9 @ And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passes by us continually.

akjv@2Kings:4:10 @ Let us make a little chamber, I pray you, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in thither.

akjv@2Kings:4:11 @ And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.

akjv@2Kings:4:12 @ And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

akjv@2Kings:4:13 @ And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for you? would you be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.

akjv@2Kings:4:14 @ And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no child, and her husband is old.

akjv@2Kings:4:15 @ And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

akjv@2Kings:4:16 @ And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.

akjv@2Kings:4:17 @ And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.

akjv@2Kings:4:18 @ And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

akjv@2Kings:4:19 @ And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

akjv@2Kings:4:20 @ And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

akjv@2Kings:4:21 @ And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out.

akjv@2Kings:4:22 @ And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray you, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

akjv@2Kings:4:23 @ And he said, Why will you go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

akjv@2Kings:4:24 @ Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not your riding for me, except I bid you.

akjv@2Kings:4:25 @ So she went and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

akjv@2Kings:4:26 @ Run now, I pray you, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? is it well with your husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

akjv@2Kings:4:27 @ And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD has hid it from me, and has not told me.

akjv@2Kings:4:28 @ Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

akjv@2Kings:4:29 @ Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute you, answer him not again: and lay my staff on the face of the child.

akjv@2Kings:4:30 @ And the mother of the child said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And he arose, and followed her.

akjv@2Kings:4:31 @ And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Why he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

akjv@2Kings:4:32 @ And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.

akjv@2Kings:4:33 @ He went in therefore, and shut the door on them two, and prayed to the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:4:34 @ And he went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands: and stretched himself on the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

akjv@2Kings:4:35 @ Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

akjv@2Kings:4:36 @ And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in to him, he said, Take up your son.

akjv@2Kings:4:37 @ Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

akjv@2Kings:4:38 @ And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.

akjv@2Kings:4:39 @ And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.

akjv@2Kings:4:40 @ So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O you man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

akjv@2Kings:4:41 @ But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

akjv@2Kings:4:42 @ And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.

akjv@2Kings:4:43 @ And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus said the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.

akjv@2Kings:4:44 @ So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.

akjv@2Kings:5:2 @ And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman' wife.

akjv@2Kings:5:3 @ And she said to her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

akjv@2Kings:5:4 @ And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

akjv@2Kings:5:5 @ And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

akjv@2Kings:5:6 @ And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come to you, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may recover him of his leprosy.

akjv@2Kings:5:7 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? why consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.

akjv@2Kings:5:8 @ And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you rent your clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

akjv@2Kings:5:10 @ And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.

akjv@2Kings:5:11 @ But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

akjv@2Kings:5:12 @ Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

akjv@2Kings:5:13 @ And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much rather then, when he said to you, Wash, and be clean?

akjv@2Kings:5:14 @ Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like to the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

akjv@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray you, take a blessing of your servant.

akjv@2Kings:5:16 @ But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

akjv@2Kings:5:17 @ And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray you, be given to your servant two mules'burden of earth? for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:5:18 @ In this thing the LORD pardon your servant, that when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.

akjv@2Kings:5:19 @ And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

akjv@2Kings:5:20 @ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

akjv@2Kings:5:21 @ So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

akjv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

akjv@2Kings:5:23 @ And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them on two of his servants; and they bore them before him.

akjv@2Kings:5:24 @ And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

akjv@2Kings:5:26 @ And he said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

akjv@2Kings:5:27 @ The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall stick to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

akjv@2Kings:6:1 @ And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too strait for us.

akjv@2Kings:6:2 @ Let us go, we pray you, to Jordan, and take there every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go you.

akjv@2Kings:6:3 @ And one said, Be content, I pray you, and go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.

akjv@2Kings:6:4 @ So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.

akjv@2Kings:6:5 @ But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.

akjv@2Kings:6:6 @ And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.

akjv@2Kings:6:7 @ Therefore said he, Take it up to you. And he put out his hand, and took it.

akjv@2Kings:6:8 @ Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.

akjv@2Kings:6:9 @ And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.

akjv@2Kings:6:10 @ And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.

akjv@2Kings:6:11 @ Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?

akjv@2Kings:6:12 @ And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.

akjv@2Kings:6:13 @ And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

akjv@2Kings:6:15 @ And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

akjv@2Kings:6:16 @ And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.

akjv@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray you, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

akjv@2Kings:6:18 @ And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray you, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

akjv@2Kings:6:19 @ And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. But he led them to Samaria.

akjv@2Kings:6:20 @ And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.

akjv@2Kings:6:21 @ And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?

akjv@2Kings:6:22 @ And he answered, You shall not smite them: would you smite those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

akjv@2Kings:6:23 @ And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

akjv@2Kings:6:24 @ And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

akjv@2Kings:6:25 @ And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass' head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove' dung for five pieces of silver.

akjv@2Kings:6:26 @ And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.

akjv@2Kings:6:27 @ And he said, If the LORD do not help you, from where shall I help you? out of the barn floor, or out of the wine press?

akjv@2Kings:6:28 @ And the king said to her, What ails you? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.

akjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray you, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.

akjv@2Kings:7:16 @ And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:7:17 @ And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people stepped on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

akjv@2Kings:7:18 @ And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

akjv@2Kings:8:4 @ And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things that Elisha has done.

akjv@2Kings:8:5 @ And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land.

akjv@2Kings:8:6 @ And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.

akjv@2Kings:8:7 @ And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come here.

akjv@2Kings:8:11 @ And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.

akjv@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, Why weeps my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: their strong holds will you set on fire, and their young men will you slay with the sword, and will dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

akjv@2Kings:8:13 @ And Hazael said, But what, is your servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has showed me that you shall be king over Syria.

akjv@2Kings:8:15 @ And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.

akjv@2Kings:8:16 @ And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Je hoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.

akjv@2Kings:9:21 @ And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

akjv@2Kings:9:22 @ And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the prostitutions of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

akjv@2Kings:9:23 @ And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

akjv@2Kings:9:24 @ And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

akjv@2Kings:9:25 @ Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and you rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden on him;

akjv@2Kings:9:32 @ And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.

akjv@2Kings:9:33 @ And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he stepped her under foot.

akjv@2Kings:9:34 @ And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king' daughter.

akjv@2Kings:9:35 @ And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

akjv@2Kings:9:36 @ Why they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

akjv@2Kings:9:37 @ And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

akjv@2Kings:10:6 @ Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If you be mine, and if you will listen to my voice, take you the heads of the men your master' sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time.

akjv@2Kings:10:7 @ And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king' sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.

akjv@2Kings:10:8 @ And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king' sons. And he said, Lay you them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

akjv@2Kings:10:9 @ And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, You be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

akjv@2Kings:15:34 @ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

akjv@2Kings:15:35 @ However, the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:15:36 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

akjv@2Kings:15:37 @ In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.

akjv@2Kings:15:38 @ And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@2Kings:16:1 @ In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

akjv@2Kings:16:2 @ Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

akjv@2Kings:16:3 @ But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

akjv@2Kings:16:4 @ And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

akjv@2Kings:16:5 @ Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.

akjv@2Kings:16:6 @ At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelled there to this day.

akjv@2Kings:16:7 @ So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.

akjv@2Kings:16:8 @ And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king' house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.

akjv@2Kings:16:9 @ And the king of Assyria listened to him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

akjv@2Kings:16:10 @ And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

akjv@2Kings:16:11 @ And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

akjv@2Kings:16:12 @ And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

akjv@2Kings:16:13 @ And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, on the altar.

akjv@2Kings:16:14 @ And he brought also the brazen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

akjv@2Kings:16:15 @ And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king' burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by.

akjv@2Kings:16:16 @ Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

akjv@2Kings:16:17 @ And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that were under it, and put it on the pavement of stones.

akjv@2Kings:16:18 @ And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king' entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

akjv@2Kings:16:19 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

akjv@2Kings:16:20 @ And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@2Kings:17:1 @ In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

akjv@2Kings:17:2 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

akjv@2Kings:17:3 @ Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

akjv@2Kings:17:4 @ And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

akjv@2Kings:17:5 @ Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

akjv@2Kings:17:6 @ In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

akjv@2Kings:17:7 @ For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

akjv@2Kings:17:8 @ And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

akjv@2Kings:17:9 @ And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

akjv@2Kings:17:10 @ And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

akjv@2Kings:17:11 @ And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and worked wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

akjv@2Kings:17:12 @ For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said to them, You shall not do this thing.

akjv@2Kings:17:13 @ Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn you from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.

akjv@2Kings:17:14 @ Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

akjv@2Kings:17:15 @ And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.

akjv@2Kings:17:16 @ And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

akjv@2Kings:17:17 @ And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

akjv@2Kings:17:18 @ Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

akjv@2Kings:17:19 @ Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.

akjv@2Kings:17:20 @ And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.

akjv@2Kings:17:21 @ For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drove Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.

akjv@2Kings:17:22 @ For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;

akjv@2Kings:17:23 @ Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria to this day.

akjv@2Kings:17:24 @ And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelled in the cities thereof.

akjv@2Kings:17:25 @ And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

akjv@2Kings:17:26 @ Why they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which you have removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he has sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

akjv@2Kings:17:27 @ Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

akjv@2Kings:17:28 @ Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelled in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:17:29 @ However, every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelled.

akjv@2Kings:17:30 @ And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

akjv@2Kings:17:31 @ And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

akjv@2Kings:17:32 @ So they feared the LORD, and made to themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

akjv@2Kings:17:33 @ They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from there.

akjv@2Kings:17:34 @ To this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

akjv@2Kings:17:35 @ With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

akjv@2Kings:17:36 @ But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall you fear, and him shall you worship, and to him shall you do sacrifice.

akjv@2Kings:17:37 @ And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do for ever more; and you shall not fear other gods.

akjv@2Kings:17:38 @ And the covenant that I have made with you you shall not forget; neither shall you fear other gods.

akjv@2Kings:17:39 @ But the LORD your God you shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

akjv@2Kings:17:40 @ However, they did not listen, but they did after their former manner.

akjv@2Kings:17:41 @ So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children' children: as did their fathers, so do they to this day.

akjv@2Kings:18:1 @ Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

akjv@2Kings:18:2 @ Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother' name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

akjv@2Kings:18:3 @ And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

akjv@2Kings:18:4 @ He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the groves, and broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for to those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

akjv@2Kings:18:5 @ He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

akjv@2Kings:18:6 @ For he held to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

akjv@2Kings:18:7 @ And the LORD was with him; and he prospered wherever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

akjv@2Kings:18:8 @ He smote the Philistines, even to Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

akjv@2Kings:18:9 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

akjv@2Kings:18:10 @ And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

akjv@2Kings:18:11 @ And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

akjv@2Kings:18:12 @ Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

akjv@2Kings:18:13 @ Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

akjv@2Kings:18:14 @ And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which you put on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

akjv@2Kings:18:15 @ And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king' house.

akjv@2Kings:18:16 @ At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

akjv@2Kings:18:17 @ And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller' field.

akjv@2Kings:18:18 @ And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

akjv@2Kings:18:19 @ And Rabshakeh said to them, Speak you now to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein you trust?

akjv@2Kings:18:20 @ You say, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

akjv@2Kings:18:21 @ Now, behold, you trust on the staff of this bruised reed, even on Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.

akjv@2Kings:18:22 @ But if you say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

akjv@2Kings:18:23 @ Now therefore, I pray you, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver you two thousand horses, if you be able on your part to set riders on them.

akjv@2Kings:18:24 @ How then will you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master' servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

akjv@2Kings:18:25 @ Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

akjv@2Kings:18:26 @ Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray you, to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews'language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

akjv@2Kings:18:27 @ But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? has he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?

akjv@2Kings:18:28 @ Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews'language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

akjv@2Kings:18:29 @ Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

akjv@2Kings:18:30 @ Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

akjv@2Kings:18:31 @ Listen not to Hezekiah: for thus said the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat you every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink you every one the waters of his cistern:

akjv@2Kings:18:32 @ Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that you may live, and not die: and listen not to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

akjv@2Kings:18:33 @ Has any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

akjv@2Kings:18:34 @ Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

akjv@2Kings:18:35 @ Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

akjv@2Kings:18:36 @ But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king' commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

akjv@2Kings:18:37 @ Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

akjv@2Kings:19:1 @ And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:19:2 @ And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

akjv@2Kings:19:3 @ And they said to him, Thus said Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

akjv@2Kings:19:4 @ It may be the LORD your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD your God has heard: why lift up your prayer for the remnant that are left.

akjv@2Kings:19:5 @ So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

akjv@2Kings:19:6 @ And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus said the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

akjv@2Kings:19:7 @ Behold, I will send a blast on him, and he shall hear a rumor, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

akjv@2Kings:19:8 @ So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

akjv@2Kings:19:9 @ And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against you: he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

akjv@2Kings:19:10 @ Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

akjv@2Kings:19:11 @ Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shall you be delivered?

akjv@2Kings:19:12 @ Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?

akjv@2Kings:19:13 @ Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?

akjv@2Kings:19:14 @ And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:19:15 @ And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwell between the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

akjv@2Kings:19:16 @ LORD, bow down your ear, and hear: open, LORD, your eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which has sent him to reproach the living God.

akjv@2Kings:19:17 @ Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

akjv@2Kings:19:18 @ And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men' hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

akjv@2Kings:19:19 @ Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech you, save you us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD God, even you only.

akjv@2Kings:19:20 @ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus said the LORD God of Israel, That which you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

akjv@2Kings:19:21 @ This is the word that the LORD has spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.

akjv@2Kings:19:22 @ Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

akjv@2Kings:19:23 @ By your messengers you have reproached the LORD, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.

akjv@2Kings:19:24 @ I have dig and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

akjv@2Kings:19:25 @ Have you not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that you should be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

akjv@2Kings:19:26 @ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

akjv@2Kings:19:27 @ But I know your stayed, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.

akjv@2Kings:19:28 @ Because your rage against me and your tumult is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

akjv@2Kings:19:29 @ And this shall be a sign to you, You shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

akjv@2Kings:19:30 @ And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

akjv@2Kings:19:31 @ For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

akjv@2Kings:19:32 @ Therefore thus said the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

akjv@2Kings:19:33 @ By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, said the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:19:34 @ For I will defend this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David' sake.

akjv@2Kings:19:35 @ And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

akjv@2Kings:19:36 @ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelled at Nineveh.

akjv@2Kings:19:37 @ And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

akjv@2Kings:20:1 @ In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus said the LORD, Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live.

akjv@2Kings:20:2 @ Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,

akjv@2Kings:20:3 @ I beseech you, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.

akjv@2Kings:20:4 @ And it came to pass, before Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

akjv@2Kings:20:5 @ Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus said the LORD, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will heal you: on the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD.

akjv@2Kings:20:7 @ And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

akjv@2Kings:20:8 @ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?

akjv@2Kings:20:9 @ And Isaiah said, This sign shall you have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

akjv@2Kings:20:10 @ And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: no, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

akjv@2Kings:20:11 @ And Isaiah the prophet cried to the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.

akjv@2Kings:20:12 @ At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

akjv@2Kings:20:13 @ And Hezekiah listened to them, and showed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armor, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

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

akjv@2Chronicles:18:8 @ And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.

akjv@2Chronicles:18:9 @ And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

akjv@2Chronicles:18:11 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

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

akjv@Esther:2:2 @ Then said the king' servants that ministered to him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

akjv@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 to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the custody of Hege the king' chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:

akjv@Esther:2:4 @ And let the maiden which pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

akjv@Esther:2:6 @ Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:2:13 @ Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king' house.

akjv@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' chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in to the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.

akjv@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 to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king' chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked on her.

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

akjv@Esther:2:17 @ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

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

akjv@Esther:2:19 @ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king' gate.

akjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king' gate, two of the king' chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

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

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

akjv@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.

akjv@Esther:3:2 @ And all the king' servants, that were in the king' gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.

akjv@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king' servants, which were in the king' gate, said to Mordecai, Why transgress you the king' commandment?

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

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

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:4:2 @ And came even before the king' gate: for none might enter into the king' gate clothed with sackcloth.

akjv@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province, wherever the king' 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.

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

akjv@Esther:4:6 @ So Hatach went forth to Mordecai to the street of the city, which was before the king' gate.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with yourself that you shall escape in the king' house, more than all the Jews.

akjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but you and your father' house shall be destroyed: and who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

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

akjv@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' house, over against the king' house: and the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

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

akjv@Esther:5:3 @ Then said the king to her, What will you, queen Esther? and what is your request? it shall be even given you to the half of the kingdom.

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

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

akjv@Esther:5:6 @ And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

akjv@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.

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

akjv@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said, What honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king' servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.

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

akjv@Esther:6:5 @ And the king' servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

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

akjv@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,

akjv@Esther:6:8 @ Let the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and the crown royal which is set on his head:

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

akjv@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king' gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.

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

akjv@Esther:6:12 @ And Mordecai came again to the king' gate. But Haman hurried to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

akjv@Esther:6:14 @ And while they were yet talking with him, came the king' chamberlains, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

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

akjv@Esther:7:2 @ And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is your petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

akjv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

akjv@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 slaves and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king' damage.

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

akjv@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:7:10 @ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king' wrath pacified.

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

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

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

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:8:8 @ Write you also for the Jews, as it likes you, in the king' name, and seal it with the king' ring: for the writing which is written in the king' name, and sealed with the king' ring, may no man reverse.

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

akjv@Esther:8:10 @ And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus'name, and sealed it with the king' ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:

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

akjv@Esther:8:12 @ On one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

akjv@Esther:8:14 @ So the posts that rode on mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king' commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.

akjv@Esther:8:15 @ And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:9:3 @ And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell on them.

akjv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king' house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

akjv@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

akjv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king' provinces? now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.

akjv@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day' decree, and let Haman' ten sons be hanged on the gallows.

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

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

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

akjv@Esther:9:25 @ But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

akjv@Esther:9:30 @ And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

akjv@Esther:10:1 @ And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute on the land, and on the isles of the sea.

akjv@Esther:10:2 @ And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

akjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was next to king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brothers, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
