updv@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah.

updv@2Samuel:10:19 @ And when all the kings who were slaves to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

updv@2Samuel:11:1 @ And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his slaves with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the sons of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem.

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:1:4 @ And the damsel was very beautiful; and she cherished the king, and ministered to him; but the king didn't have any sex with her.

updv@1Kings:1:5 @ Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

updv@1Kings:1:6 @ And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why have you done so? And he was also a very goodly man; and he was born after Absalom.

updv@1Kings:1:7 @ And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and those following Adonijah helped him.

updv@1Kings:1:8 @ But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

updv@1Kings:1:9 @ And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel; and he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's slaves:

updv@1Kings:1:10 @ but Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not call.

updv@1Kings:1:11 @ Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord does not know it?

updv@1Kings:1:12 @ Now therefore come, let me, I pray you, give you counsel, that you may save your own life, and the life of your son Solomon.

updv@1Kings:1:13 @ Go and get in to King David, and say to him, Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your slave, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?

updv@1Kings:1:14 @ Look, while you yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after you, and confirm your words.

updv@1Kings:1:15 @ And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

updv@1Kings:1:16 @ And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What do you want?

updv@1Kings:1:17 @ And she said to him, My lord, you swore by Yahweh your God to your slave, [saying], Assuredly Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne.

updv@1Kings:1:18 @ And now, look, Adonijah reigns; and you, my lord the king, do not know it:

updv@1Kings:1:19 @ and he has slain oxen and fatlings 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 slave he has not called.

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

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

updv@1Kings:1:22 @ And, look, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

updv@1Kings:1:23 @ And they told the king, saying, Look, Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

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

updv@1Kings:1:25 @ For he has gone down this day, and has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, look, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, [Long] live King Adonijah.

updv@1Kings:1:26 @ But me, even me your slave, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and your slave Solomon, he has not called.

updv@1Kings:1:27 @ Is this thing done by my lord the king, and you have not shown to your slave who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

updv@1Kings:1:28 @ Then King David answered and said, Call to me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

updv@1Kings:1:29 @ And the king swore, and said, As Yahweh lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

updv@1Kings:1:30 @ truly as I swore to you by Yahweh, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon your son will reign after me, and he will sit on my throne in my stead; truly so I will do this day.

updv@1Kings:1:31 @ Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord King David live forever.

updv@1Kings:1:32 @ And King David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

updv@1Kings:1:33 @ And the king said to them, Take with you(note:){+}(:note) the slaves of your{+} lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride on my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:

updv@1Kings:1:34 @ and let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel; and blow(note:){+}(:note) the trumpet, and say, [Long] live King Solomon.

updv@1Kings:1:35 @ Then you(note:){+}(:note) will come up after him, and he will come and sit on my throne; for he will be king in my stead; and I have appointed him to be leader over Israel and over Judah.

updv@1Kings:1:36 @ And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: Yahweh, the God of my lord the king, says so [too].

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

updv@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's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

updv@1Kings:1:39 @ And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the Tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, [Long] live King Solomon.

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:1:41 @ And Adonijah and all the guests who 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?

updv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he yet spoke, look, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a worthy man, and bring good news.

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

updv@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's mule;

updv@1Kings:1:45 @ and Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon; and they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that you(note:){+}(:note) have heard.

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

updv@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king's slaves came to bless our lord King David, saying, Your 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.

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, saying, Look, Adonijah fears King Solomon; for, look, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me first that he will not slay his slave with the sword.

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

updv@1Kings:1:53 @ So King Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

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

updv@1Kings:2:2 @ I am going the way of all the earth: be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

updv@1Kings:2:3 @ and keep the charge of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, [and] his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself.

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

updv@1Kings:2:5 @ Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even 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 belt that was about his loins, and in his sandals that were on his feet.

updv@1Kings:2:6 @ Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don't let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace.

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

updv@1Kings:2:8 @ And, look, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

updv@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore don't hold him innocent, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you will bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood.

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

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

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

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

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

updv@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: nevertheless the kingdom has turned about, and has become my brother's; for it was his from Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:2:16 @ And now I ask one petition of you; don't deny me. And she said to him, Say on.

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

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

updv@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 throne to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.

updv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, I ask one small petition of you; don't deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny you.

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

updv@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; and [you ask] for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

updv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

updv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah will be put to death this day.

updv@1Kings:2:25 @ And King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.

updv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Go 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 Sovereign Yahweh before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.

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

updv@1Kings:2:28 @ And the news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he didn't turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

updv@1Kings:2:29 @ And it was told King Solomon, Joab had fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and, look, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent to Joab, saying, What was [wrong] with you that you fled to the altar? And Joab said, Because I was afraid of you, I fled to Yahweh. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on him.

updv@1Kings:2:30 @ And Benaiah came to the Tent of Yahweh, and said to him, Thus says 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.

updv@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 blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.

updv@1Kings:2:32 @ And Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, and my father David didn't know it, [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.

updv@1Kings:2:33 @ So will their blood return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed forever: but to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:2:34 @ Then 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.

updv@1Kings:2:35 @ And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the place of Abiathar.

updv@1Kings:2:36 @ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and don't go forth from there anywhere.

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

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

updv@1Kings:2:39 @ And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Look, your slaves are in Gath.

updv@1Kings:2:40 @ And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his slaves; and Shimei went, and brought his slaves from Gath.

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

updv@1Kings:2:42 @ And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure you by Yahweh, and protest to you, saying, Know for certain, that on the day you go out, and walk abroad anywhere, you will surely die? And you said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.

updv@1Kings:2:43 @ Why then haven't you kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment that I have charged you with?

updv@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 Yahweh will return your wickedness on your own head.

updv@1Kings:2:45 @ But King Solomon will be blessed, and the throne of David will be established before Yahweh forever.

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

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

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

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

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:3:5 @ In Gibeon Yahweh appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I will give you.

updv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said, You have shown to your slave David my father great loving-kindness, 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 loving-kindness, that you have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

updv@1Kings:3:7 @ And now, O Yahweh my God, you have made your slave king instead of David my father: and I am but a small lad; I don't know how to go out or come in.

updv@1Kings:3:8 @ And your slave is in the midst of your people which you have chosen, a great people, who are too many to be numbered or counted.

updv@1Kings:3:9 @ Give your slave therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this your great people?

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

updv@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him, Because you have asked this thing, and haven't 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 justice;

updv@1Kings:3:12 @ look, I have done according to your word: see, I have given you a wise and an understanding heart; so that there has been none like you before you, neither after you will any arise like you.

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

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

updv@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke; and, saw that it was a dream: and he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, and offered up burnt-offerings, and offered peace-offerings, and made a feast to all his slaves.

updv@1Kings:3:16 @ Then there came two women who were prostitutes, to the king, and stood before him.

updv@1Kings:3:17 @ And the one woman said, Oh, my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I gave birth with her in the house.

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

updv@1Kings:3:19 @ And this woman's son died in the night, because she laid on him.

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

updv@1Kings:3:21 @ And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, look, he was dead; but when I had looked at him in the morning, I noticed he wasn't my son, whom I bore.

updv@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.

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was the living spoke to the king, for her heart yearned over her son, and she said, Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and in no way slay him. But the other said, He will be neither mine nor yours. Cut [him in two]!

updv@1Kings:3:27 @ Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no way slay him: she is his mother.

updv@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 justice.

updv@1Kings:4:1 @ And King Solomon was king over all Israel.

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

updv@1Kings:4:3 @ Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

updv@1Kings:4:6 @ and Ahishar was over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the men subject to slave labor.

updv@1Kings:4:7 @ And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and his household: each man had to make provision for a month in the year.

updv@1Kings:4:8 @ And these are their names: Ben-hur, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

updv@1Kings:4:9 @ Ben-deker, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Beth-shemesh, and Elon-beth-hanan;

updv@1Kings:4:11 @ Ben-abinadab, in all the height of Dor (he had Taphath the daughter of Solomon as wife);

updv@1Kings:4:12 @ Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is beside Zarethan, beneath Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as beyond Jokmeam;

updv@1Kings:4:13 @ Ben-geber, in Ramoth-gilead (to him [pertained] the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; [even] to him [pertained] the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and bronze bars);

updv@1Kings:4:14 @ Ahinadab the son of Iddo, in Mahanaim;

updv@1Kings:4:15 @ Ahimaaz, in Naphtali (he also took Basemath the daughter of Solomon as wife);

updv@1Kings:4:16 @ Baana the son of Hushai, in Asher and Bealoth;

updv@1Kings:4:19 @ Geber the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon king of the Amorites and of Og king of Bashan; and [he was] the only officer that was in the land.

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

updv@1Kings:4:21 @ And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt: they brought tribute, and served Solomon all the days of his life.

updv@1Kings:4:22 @ And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, and threescore cors of meal,

updv@1Kings:4:23 @ ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides harts, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fatted fowl.

updv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the River, from Tiphsah even to Gaza, over all the kings on this side the River: and he had peace on all sides round about him.

updv@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig-tree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

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

updv@1Kings:4:27 @ And those officers provided victuals for King Solomon, and for all who came to king Solomon's table, every man in his month; they let nothing be lacking.

updv@1Kings:4:28 @ Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds they brought to the place where [the officers] were, every man according to his charge.

updv@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceedingly much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore.

updv@1Kings:4:30 @ And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the east, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

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

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

updv@1Kings:4:33 @ And he spoke of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fish.

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

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:5:4 @ But now Yahweh my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.

updv@1Kings:5:5 @ And, look, I purpose to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for my name.

updv@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore command that they cut for me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my slaves will be with your slaves; and I will give you wages for your slaves according to all that you will say: for you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.

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

updv@1Kings:5:8 @ And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard [the message] which you have sent to me: I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

updv@1Kings:5:9 @ My slaves will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you will appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you will receive them; and you will accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

updv@1Kings:5:10 @ So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.

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

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

updv@1Kings:5:13 @ And King Solomon raised slave labor out of all Israel; and the slave labor was thirty thousand men.

updv@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 men subject to slave labor.

updv@1Kings:5:15 @ And Solomon had 70,000 who bore burdens, and 80,000 who were hewers in the mountains;

updv@1Kings:5:16 @ besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bore rule over the people who wrought in the work.

updv@1Kings:5:17 @ And the king commanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.

updv@1Kings:5:18 @ And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites fashioned them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.

updv@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:6:2 @ And the house which King Solomon built for Yahweh, its length was threescore cubits, and its width twenty [cubits], and its height thirty cubits.

updv@1Kings:6:3 @ And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was its length, according to the width of the house; [and] ten cubits was its width before the house.

updv@1Kings:6:4 @ And for the house he made windows of fixed latticework.

updv@1Kings:6:5 @ And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about.

updv@1Kings:6:6 @ The nethermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets [in the wall] of the house round about, that [the beams] should not have hold in the walls of the house.

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

updv@1Kings:6:8 @ The entrance for the middle story was on the right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle [story], and out of the middle into the third.

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

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

updv@1Kings:6:11 @ And the word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,

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

updv@1Kings:6:13 @ And I will stay among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.

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

updv@1Kings:6:15 @ And he built the walls of the house inside with boards of cedar: from the floor of the house to the walls of the ceiling, he covered them on the inside with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with boards of fir.

updv@1Kings:6:16 @ And he built twenty cubits on the hinder part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the walls [of the ceiling]: he built [them] for it inside, for an oracle, even for the most holy place.

updv@1Kings:6:17 @ And the house, that is, the temple in front, was forty cubits [long].

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

updv@1Kings:6:19 @ And he prepared an oracle in the midst of the house inside, to set there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:6:20 @ And in front of the oracle was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in width, and twenty cubits in its height; and he overlaid it with pure gold: and he covered the altar with cedar.

updv@1Kings:6:21 @ So Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold: and he drew chains of gold across before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.

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

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

updv@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.

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

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

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

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

updv@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, inside and outside.

updv@1Kings:6:30 @ And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, inside and outside.

updv@1Kings:6:31 @ And for the entrance of the oracle he made doors of olive-wood: the lintel [and] door-posts were a fifth part [of the wall].

updv@1Kings:6:32 @ So [he made] two doors of olive-wood; and he carved on them carvings of cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold; and he spread the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm-trees.

updv@1Kings:6:33 @ So also he made for the entrance of the temple door-posts of olive-wood, out of a fourth part [of the wall];

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

updv@1Kings:6:35 @ And he carved [on it] cherubim and palm-trees and open flowers; and he overlaid them with gold fitted on the graven work.

updv@1Kings:6:36 @ And he built the inner court with three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams.

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:7:2 @ For he built the house of the forest of Lebanon; its length was a hundred cubits, and its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits, on four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams on the pillars.

updv@1Kings:7:3 @ And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and five beams, that were on the pillars; fifteen in a row.

updv@1Kings:7:4 @ And there were beams in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

updv@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doors and jambs were made square with beams: and window was opposite window in three ranks.

updv@1Kings:7:6 @ And he made the porch of pillars; its length was fifty cubits, and its width thirty cubits; and a porch before them; and pillars and a threshold before them.

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

updv@1Kings:7:8 @ And his house where he was to dwell, the other court inside the porch, was of like work. He also made a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken as wife), like this porch.

updv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were of costly stones, even of cut stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside, even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

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

updv@1Kings:7:11 @ And above were costly stones, even cut stone, according to measure, and cedar-wood.

updv@1Kings:7:12 @ And the great court round about had three courses of cut stone, and a course of cedar beams; like the inner court of the house of Yahweh, and the porch of the house.

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

updv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with the wisdom and the understanding and the knowledge to work all works in bronze. And he came to King Solomon, and wrought all his work.

updv@1Kings:7:15 @ For he fashioned the two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits encircled either of them about.

updv@1Kings:7:16 @ And he made two capitals of molten bronze, 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.

updv@1Kings:7:17 @ There were 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:7:24 @ And under the brim of it round about there were knops which circled it, for ten cubits, circling the sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

updv@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 on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

updv@1Kings:7:26 @ And it was a handbreadth thick: and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths.

updv@1Kings:7:27 @ And he made the ten bases of bronze; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

updv@1Kings:7:28 @ And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges;

updv@1Kings:7:29 @ and on the panels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

updv@1Kings:7:30 @ And every base had four bronze wheels, and axles of bronze; and the four feet of it had undersetters: beneath the basin the undersetters were molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

updv@1Kings:7:31 @ And the mouth of it inside the capital and above was a cubit: and its mouth was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on the mouth of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not round.

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

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

updv@1Kings:7:34 @ And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: its undersetters were of the base itself.

updv@1Kings:7:35 @ And in the top of the base there was a round circle half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were of the same.

updv@1Kings:7:36 @ And on the plates of its supports, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

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

updv@1Kings:7:38 @ And he made ten basins of bronze: one basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.

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

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:7:43 @ and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;

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

updv@1Kings:7:45 @ and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for King Solomon, in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished bronze.

updv@1Kings:7:46 @ The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

updv@1Kings:7:47 @ And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were exceedingly many: the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

updv@1Kings:7:48 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar, and the table on which the showbread was, of gold;

updv@1Kings:7:49 @ and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

updv@1Kings:7:50 @ and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.

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

updv@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

updv@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.

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

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:8:7 @ For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its poles above.

updv@1Kings:8:8 @ And the poles were so long that the ends of the poles were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen outside: and there they are to this day.

updv@1Kings:8:9 @ There was nothing in the ark but the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, by which Yahweh made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

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

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

updv@1Kings:8:12 @ Then Solomon spoke, Yahweh has said that he would stay in the thick darkness.

updv@1Kings:8:13 @ I have surely built you a house of habitation, a place for you to dwell in forever.

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

updv@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said, Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David your father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

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

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

updv@1Kings:8:18 @ But Yahweh said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart:

updv@1Kings:8:19 @ nevertheless you will not build the house; but your son who will come forth out of your loins, he will build the house for my name.

updv@1Kings:8:20 @ And Yahweh has established his word that he spoke; for I rose up in the place of David my father, and sat on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

updv@1Kings:8:21 @ And I have set a place there for the ark, in which is the covenant of Yahweh, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

updv@1Kings:8:22 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;

updv@1Kings:8:23 @ and he said, O Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving-kindness with your slaves, that walk before you with all their heart;

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

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

updv@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your(note:){+}(:note) heart therefore be perfect with Yahweh our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

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

updv@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace-offerings, which he offered to Yahweh, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Yahweh.

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

updv@1Kings:8:65 @ So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Yahweh our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

updv@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 Yahweh had shown to David his slave, and to Israel his people.

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

updv@1Kings:9:2 @ that Yahweh appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

updv@1Kings:9:3 @ And Yahweh 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 forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.

updv@1Kings:9:4 @ And as for you, 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 ordinances;

updv@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, There will not fail to you a man on the throne of Israel.

updv@1Kings:9:6 @ But if you(note:){+}(:note) will turn away from following me, you{+} or your{+} sons, and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you{+}, but will go and serve other gods, and worship them;

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

updv@1Kings:9:8 @ And this house will be in ruins. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and will hiss; and they will say, Why has Yahweh done thus to this land, and to this house?

updv@1Kings:9:9 @ And they will answer, Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them, and served them: therefore Yahweh has brought all this evil on them.

updv@1Kings:9:10 @ And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of Yahweh and the king's house

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:9:12 @ And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they were not right in his eyes.

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:9:14 @ And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

updv@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason of the slave labor which King Solomon raised, to build the house of Yahweh, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.

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

updv@1Kings:9:17 @ And Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon the nether,

updv@1Kings:9:18 @ and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness, in the land,

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

updv@1Kings:9:20 @ As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the sons of Israel;

updv@1Kings:9:21 @ their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able completely to destroy, of them Solomon raised slave labor to this day.

updv@1Kings:9:22 @ But Solomon made no slave of the sons of Israel; but they were the men of war, and his slaves, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.

updv@1Kings:9:23 @ These were the chief officers who were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, who bore rule over the people who wrought in the work.

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

updv@1Kings:9:25 @ And three times a year Solomon offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar which he built to Yahweh, burning incense with it, [on the altar] that was before Yahweh. So he finished the house.

updv@1Kings:9:26 @ And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezion-geber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

updv@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent in the navy his slaves, shipmen who had knowledge of the sea, with the slaves of Solomon.

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

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

updv@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 came to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.

updv@1Kings:10:3 @ And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he did not tell her.

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

updv@1Kings:10:5 @ and the food of his table, and the sitting of his slaves, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Yahweh; there was no more spirit in her.

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:10:7 @ Nevertheless I didn't believe the words, until I came, and my eyes had seen it: and, look, the half was not told me; your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame which I heard.

updv@1Kings:10:8 @ Happy are your wives, happy are these your slaves, that stand continually before you, [and] that hear your wisdom.

updv@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed be Yahweh your God, who delighted in you, to set you on the throne of Israel: because Yahweh loved Israel forever, therefore he made you king, to do justice and righteousness.

updv@1Kings:10:10 @ And she gave the king a 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.

updv@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.

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

updv@1Kings:10:13 @ And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her slaves.

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

updv@1Kings:10:15 @ besides [that which] the traders [brought], and the traffic of the merchants, and of all the kings of the mingled people, and of the governors of the country.

updv@1Kings:10:16 @ And King Solomon made two hundred bucklers of beaten gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one buckler.

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

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

updv@1Kings:10:19 @ There were six steps to the throne, and the top of the throne was round behind; and there were supports on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the supports.

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:10:21 @ And all king Solomon's 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 accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

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

updv@1Kings:10:23 @ So King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:10:27 @ And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars he made to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

updv@1Kings:10:28 @ And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue. The king's merchants acquired those from Kue for a price.

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

updv@1Kings:11:1 @ Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;

updv@1Kings:11:2 @ of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the sons of Israel, You(note:){+}(:note) will not go among them, neither will they come among you{+}; for surely they will turn away your{+} heart after their gods. Solomon stuck to these [women] in love.

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

updv@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 wasn't perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

updv@1Kings:11:5 @ For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the detestable thing of the Ammonites.

updv@1Kings:11:6 @ And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and did not go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.

updv@1Kings:11:7 @ Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the detestable thing of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestable thing of the sons of Ammon.

updv@1Kings:11:8 @ And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

updv@1Kings:11:9 @ And Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

updv@1Kings:11:10 @ and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he did not keep that which Yahweh commanded.

updv@1Kings:11:11 @ Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, Since this was done of you, and you haven't 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 slave.

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

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

updv@1Kings:11:14 @ And Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

updv@1Kings:11:15 @ For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host went up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom

updv@1Kings:11:16 @ (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);

updv@1Kings:11:17 @ that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's slaves with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a small lad.

updv@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, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

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

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

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:11:22 @ Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me, that, look, you seek to go to your own country? And he answered, Nothing: nevertheless only let me depart.

updv@1Kings:11:23 @ And God raised up [another] adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

updv@1Kings:11:24 @ And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt in it, and reigned in Damascus.

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

updv@1Kings:11:26 @ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a slave of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.

updv@1Kings:11:27 @ And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.

updv@1Kings:11:28 @ And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

updv@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; now [Ahijah] had clad himself with a new garment; and both of them were alone in the field.

updv@1Kings:11:30 @ And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.

updv@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jeroboam, Take for yourself ten pieces; for this is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, Look, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you

updv@1Kings:11:32 @ (but he will have one tribe, for my slave David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel);

updv@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my ordinances, as did David his father.

updv@1Kings:11:34 @ Nevertheless 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 slave's sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;

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

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

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

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

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

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

updv@1Kings:11:41 @ Now 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?

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

updv@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.

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

updv@1Kings:12:2 @ And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt,

updv@1Kings:12:3 @ and they sent and called him), that Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came, and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

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

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

updv@1Kings:12:6 @ And King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel do you(note:){+}(:note) give me to return answer to this people?

updv@1Kings:12:7 @ And they spoke to him, saying, If you will be a slave to this people this day, and will serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your slaves forever.

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

updv@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, What counsel do you(note:){+}(:note) give, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke that your father put on us lighter?

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

updv@1Kings:12:11 @ And now whereas my father laded you(note:){+}(:note) with a heavy yoke, I will add to your{+} yoke: my father chastised you{+} with whips, but I will chastise you{+} with scorpions.

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

updv@1Kings:12:13 @ And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him,

updv@1Kings:12:14 @ and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your(note:){+}(:note) yoke heavy, but I will add to your{+} yoke: my father chastised you{+} with whips, but I will chastise you{+} with scorpions.

updv@1Kings:12:15 @ So the king didn't listen to the people; for it was a thing brought about of Yahweh, that he might establish his word, which Yahweh spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

updv@1Kings:12:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king didn't listen to them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion do we have in David? Neither do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your(note:){+}(:note) tents, O Israel: now see to your own house, David. So Israel departed to their tents.

updv@1Kings:12:17 @ But as for the sons of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

updv@1Kings:12:18 @ Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the men subject to slave labor; and all Israel stoned him to death with stones. And King Rehoboam made speed to get up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

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

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

updv@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men, who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

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

updv@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 rest of the people, saying,

updv@1Kings:12:24 @ Thus says Yahweh, You(note:){+}(:note) will not go up, nor fight against your{+} brothers the sons of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is of me. So they listened to the word of Yahweh, and returned and went their way, according to the word of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:12:25 @ Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and dwelt in it; and he went out from there, and built Penuel.

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

updv@1Kings:12:27 @ if this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn again to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me, and return to Rehoboam king of Judah.

updv@1Kings:12:28 @ For this reason the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold; and he said to them, It is too much for you(note:){+}(:note) to go up to Jerusalem: here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

updv@1Kings:12:29 @ And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other he put in Daniel.

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

updv@1Kings:12:31 @ And he made houses of high places, and made priests from among all the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

updv@1Kings:12:32 @ And Jeroboam appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that is in Judah, and he went up to the altar; so he did in Beth-el, sacrificing to the calves that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the priests of the high places that he had made.

updv@1Kings:12:33 @ And he went up to the altar which he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart: and he appointed a feast for the sons of Israel, and went up to the altar, to burn incense.

updv@1Kings:13:1 @ And, look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

updv@1Kings:13:2 @ And he cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: Look, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense on you, and man's bones they will burn on you.

updv@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Look, the altar will be rent, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.

updv@1Kings:13:4 @ And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam 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 draw it back again to him.

updv@1Kings:13:5 @ The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:13:6 @ And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated Yahweh, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.

updv@1Kings:13:7 @ And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.

updv@1Kings:13:8 @ And the man of God said to the king, If you will give me half your house, I will not go in with you, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;

updv@1Kings:13:9 @ for so was it charged me by the word of Yahweh, saying, You will eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.

updv@1Kings:13:10 @ So he went another way, and didn't return by the way that he came to Beth-el.

updv@1Kings:13:11 @ Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken to the king, they also told them to their father.

updv@1Kings:13:12 @ And their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, that came from Judah.

updv@1Kings:13:13 @ And he said to his sons, Saddle me the donkey. So they saddled him the donkey; and he rode on it.

updv@1Kings:13:14 @ And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

updv@1Kings:13:15 @ Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

updv@1Kings:13:16 @ And he said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:

updv@1Kings:13:18 @ And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied to him.

updv@1Kings:13:19 @ So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

updv@1Kings:13:20 @ And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet that brought him back;

updv@1Kings:13:21 @ and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says Yahweh, Since you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and haven't kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,

updv@1Kings:13:22 @ but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.

updv@1Kings:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drank, that he saddled for himself the donkey, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.

updv@1Kings:13:24 @ And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the body.

updv@1Kings:13:25 @ And, look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

updv@1Kings:13:26 @ And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh: therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to him.

updv@1Kings:13:27 @ And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the donkey for me. And they saddled it.

updv@1Kings:13:28 @ And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.

updv@1Kings:13:29 @ And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.

updv@1Kings:13:30 @ And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!

updv@1Kings:13:31 @ And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

updv@1Kings:13:32 @ For the saying which he cried by the word of Yahweh against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass.

updv@1Kings:13:33 @ After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.

updv@1Kings:13:34 @ And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.

updv@1Kings:14:1 @ At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.

updv@1Kings:14:2 @ And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray you, and disguise yourself, that you will not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and go to Shiloh: see, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.

updv@1Kings:14:3 @ And take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell you what will become of the lad.

updv@1Kings:14:4 @ And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.

updv@1Kings:14:5 @ And Yahweh said to Ahijah, Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus you will say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.

updv@1Kings:14:6 @ And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, you wife of Jeroboam; why feign you yourself to be another? For I am sent to you with difficult news.

updv@1Kings:14:7 @ Go, tell Jeroboam, This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: Since I exalted you from among the people, and made you leader over my people Israel,

updv@1Kings:14:14 @ Moreover Yahweh will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? Even now.

updv@1Kings:14:15 @ For Yahweh will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Yahweh to anger.

updv@1Kings:14:16 @ And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.

updv@1Kings:14:17 @ And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

updv@1Kings:14:22 @ And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.

updv@1Kings:14:23 @ For they also built themselves high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

updv@1Kings:14:24 @ and there were also homosexuals in the land: they did according to all the disgusting behaviors of the nations which Yahweh drove out before the sons of Israel.

updv@1Kings:14:25 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;

updv@1Kings:14:26 @ and he took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

updv@1Kings:14:27 @ And King Rehoboam made in their stead shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's house.

updv@1Kings:15:16 @ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

updv@1Kings:15:17 @ And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

updv@1Kings:15:18 @ Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his slaves; and King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

updv@1Kings:15:19 @ [There is] a league between me and you, between my father and your father: look, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

updv@1Kings:17:10 @ So he arose and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the gate of the city, look, a widow was there gathering sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray you, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

updv@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, Don't be afraid; go and do as you have said; but make me of it a little cake first, and bring it forth to me, and afterward make for yourself and for your son.

updv@1Kings:17:16 @ The jar of meal did not waste, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by Elijah.

updv@1Kings:17:17 @ And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so intense, that there was no breath left in him.

updv@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O you man of God? You have come to me to bring my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son!

updv@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me your son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he dwelt, and laid him on his own bed.

updv@1Kings:17:22 @ And Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.

updv@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, See, your son lives.

updv@1Kings:17:24 @ And the woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.

updv@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.

updv@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And the famine was intense in Samaria.

updv@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly:

updv@1Kings:18:4 @ for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yahweh, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

updv@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water, and to all the brooks: perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we do not lose all the beasts.

updv@1Kings:18:6 @ So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

updv@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was in the way, look, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?

updv@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here].

updv@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, In what have I sinned, that you would deliver your slave into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

updv@1Kings:18:10 @ As Yahweh 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 here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they didn't find you.

updv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here].

updv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, I don't know where the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can't find you, he will slay me: but I your slave have feared Yahweh from my youth.

updv@1Kings:18:13 @ Wasn't it told to my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid a hundred men of Yahweh's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

updv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Look, Elijah [is here]; and he will slay me.

updv@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.

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

updv@1Kings:18:17 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel?

updv@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I haven't troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you(note:){+}(:note) have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baalim.

updv@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 Asherah four hundred, that eat at Jezebel's table.

updv@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 musing, or he has gone aside, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.

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

updv@1Kings:18:29 @ And it was so, when midday was past, that they prophesied until the time of the offering of the [evening] oblation; but there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any who regarded.

updv@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 Yahweh that was thrown down.

updv@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 Yahweh came, saying, Israel will be your name.

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

updv@1Kings:18:33 @ And he put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. And he said, Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt-offering, and on the wood.

updv@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.

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

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

updv@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O Yahweh, hear me, that this people may know that you, Yahweh, are God, and [that] you have turned their heart back again.

updv@1Kings:18:38 @ Then the fire of Yahweh fell, and consumed the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

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

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

updv@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

updv@1Kings:19:18 @ Yet I will leave [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which haven't bowed to Baal, and every mouth which has not kissed him.

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

updv@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?

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

updv@1Kings:21:24 @ He who dies of Ahab in the city, the dogs will eat; and he who dies in the field, the birds of the heavens will eat.

updv@1Kings:21:25 @ (But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

updv@1Kings:21:26 @ And what he did was very disgusting in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the sons of Israel.)

updv@1Kings:21:27 @ And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

updv@1Kings:21:28 @ And the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

updv@1Kings:21:29 @ Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days I will bring the evil on his house.

updv@1Kings:22:1 @ And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

updv@1Kings:22:2 @ And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

updv@1Kings:22:3 @ And the king of Israel said to his slaves, Do you(note:){+}(:note) know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, and we are still, and do not take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

updv@1Kings:22:4 @ And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth-gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

updv@1Kings:22:5 @ And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire first, I pray you, for the word of Yahweh.

updv@1Kings:22:6 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:7 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?

updv@1Kings:22:8 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Don't let the king say so.

updv@1Kings:22:9 @ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imlah.

updv@1Kings:22:10 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

updv@1Kings:22:11 @ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, Thus says Yahweh, With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.

updv@1Kings:22:12 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:13 @ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Look now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.

updv@1Kings:22:14 @ And Micaiah said, As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.

updv@1Kings:22:15 @ And when he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.

updv@1Kings:22:16 @ And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?

updv@1Kings:22:17 @ And he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and Yahweh said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.

updv@1Kings:22:18 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Didn't I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?

updv@1Kings:22:19 @ And [Micaiah] said, Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

updv@1Kings:22:20 @ And Yahweh said, Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner.

updv@1Kings:22:21 @ And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said, I will entice him.

updv@1Kings:22:22 @ And Yahweh said to him, How? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You will entice him, and will prevail also: go forth, and do so.

updv@1Kings:22:23 @ Now therefore, look, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.

updv@1Kings:22:24 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?

updv@1Kings:22:25 @ And Micaiah said, Look, you will see on that day, when you will go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

updv@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's son;

updv@1Kings:22:27 @ and say, Thus says 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.

updv@1Kings:22:28 @ And Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, you(note:){+}(:note) peoples, all of you{+}.

updv@1Kings:22:29 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

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

updv@1Kings:22:31 @ Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.

updv@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.

updv@1Kings:22:33 @ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it wasn't the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

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

updv@1Kings:22:35 @ And the battle increased that day: and the king was propped up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at evening; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.

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

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

updv@1Kings:22:38 @ And they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the prostitutes washed themselves [there]); according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke.

updv@1Kings:22:39 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

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

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

updv@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's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

updv@1Kings:22:43 @ And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; He didn't turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

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

updv@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?

updv@1Kings:22:46 @ And the remnant of the homosexuals, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.

updv@1Kings:22:47 @ And there was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.

updv@1Kings:22:48 @ Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they did not go; for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

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

updv@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.

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

updv@1Kings:22:52 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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, in which he made Israel to sin.

updv@1Kings:22:53 @ And he served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked Yahweh to anger, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.

updv@2Kings:1:1 @ And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

updv@2Kings:1:2 @ And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.

updv@2Kings:1:3 @ But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you(note:){+}(:note) go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

updv@2Kings:1:4 @ Now therefore thus says Yahweh, You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but will surely die. And Elijah departed.

updv@2Kings:1:5 @ And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why is it that you(note:){+}(:note) have returned?

updv@2Kings:1:6 @ And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king who sent you(note:){+}(:note), and say to him, Thus says Yahweh, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but will surely die.

updv@2Kings:1:7 @ And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you(note:){+}(:note), and told you{+} these words?

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

updv@2Kings:1:9 @ Then [the king] sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and saw that he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he spoke to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.

updv@2Kings:1:10 @ And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, 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.

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

updv@2Kings:1:12 @ And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am 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.

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

updv@2Kings:1:14 @ Look, fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in your sight.

updv@2Kings:1:15 @ And the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, Go down with him: don't be afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.

updv@2Kings:1:16 @ And he said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Since you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but will surely die.

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

updv@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?

updv@2Kings:2:1 @ And it came to pass, when Yahweh was to take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

updv@2Kings:2:2 @ And Elijah said to Elisha, Tarry here, I pray you; for Yahweh has sent me as far as Beth-el. And Elisha said, As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So they went down to Beth-el.

updv@2Kings:2:3 @ And the sons of the prophets who were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today? And he said, Yes, I know it; hold your(note:){+}(:note) peace.

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

updv@2Kings:2:5 @ And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that Yahweh will take away your master from your head today? And he answered, Yes, I know it; hold your(note:){+}(:note) peace.

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

updv@2Kings:2:7 @ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood across from them far off: and both of them stood by the Jordan.

updv@2Kings:2:8 @ And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that both of them went over on dry ground.

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

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

updv@2Kings:2:11 @ And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, look, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which separated them both apart; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

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

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

updv@2Kings:2:14 @ And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah, even he? And when he had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha went over.

updv@2Kings:2:15 @ And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho across from him saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

updv@2Kings:2:16 @ And they said to him, Look now, there are with your slaves fifty strong men; let them go, we pray you, and seek your master, in case the Spirit of Yahweh has taken him up, and cast him on some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, You(note:){+}(:note) will not send.

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

updv@2Kings:2:18 @ And they came back to him, while he tarried at Jericho; and he said to them, Didn't I say to you(note:){+}(:note), Don't go?

updv@2Kings:2:19 @ And the men of the city said to Elisha, Look, we pray you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees: but the water is bad, and the land miscarries.

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

updv@2Kings:2:21 @ And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast salt in it, and said, Thus says Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there will not be from there anymore death or miscarrying.

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

updv@2Kings:2:23 @ And he went up from there to Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth young lads out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead.

updv@2Kings:2:24 @ And he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of Yahweh. And there came forth two she-bears out of the forest, and tore forty and two lads of them.

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

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

updv@2Kings:3:2 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.

updv@2Kings:3:3 @ Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart therefrom.

updv@2Kings:3:4 @ Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.

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

updv@2Kings:3:6 @ And King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.

updv@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, my horses as your horses.

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

updv@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.

updv@2Kings:3:10 @ And the king of Israel said, Alas! For Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

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

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

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

updv@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, As Yahweh 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.

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

updv@2Kings:3:16 @ And he said, Thus says Yahweh, Make this valley full of trenches.

updv@2Kings:3:17 @ For thus says Yahweh, You(note:){+}(:note) will not see wind, neither will you{+} see rain; yet that valley will be filled with water, and you{+} will drink, both you{+} and your{+} cattle and your{+} beasts.

updv@2Kings:3:18 @ And this is but a light thing in the sight of Yahweh: he will also deliver the Moabites into your(note:){+}(:note) hand.

updv@2Kings:3:19 @ And you(note:){+}(:note) will strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and will fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

updv@2Kings:3:20 @ And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, look, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

updv@2Kings:3:21 @ Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.

updv@2Kings:3:22 @ And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water across from them as red as blood:

updv@2Kings:3:23 @ and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each man his fellow man: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

updv@2Kings:3:24 @ And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went there and struck the Moabites.

updv@2Kings:3:25 @ And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until they left [only] its stones in Kir-hareseth; nevertheless the slingers went about it, and struck it.

updv@2Kings:3:26 @ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too intense for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew the sword, to break through to the king of Syria; but they could not.

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

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

updv@2Kings:4:2 @ And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me; what do you have in the house? And she said, Your slave doesn't have anything in the house, but a pot of oil.

updv@2Kings:4:3 @ Then he said, Go, borrow for yourself vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; don't borrow a few.

updv@2Kings:4:4 @ And you will go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and you will set aside that which is full.

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

updv@2Kings:4:6 @ And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not another vessel. And the oil stopped.

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

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

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

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

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

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

updv@2Kings:4:13 @ And he said to him, Say now to her, Look, 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.

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

updv@2Kings:4:16 @ And he said, At this season, when the time comes round, you will embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your slave.

updv@2Kings:4:17 @ And the woman became pregnant, and gave birth to a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said to her.

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

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

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

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

updv@2Kings:4:28 @ Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? Did I not say, Don't deceive me?

updv@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, don't greet him; and if any greets you, don't answer him again: and lay my staff on the face of the child.

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

updv@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. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child did not awaken.

updv@2Kings:4:32 @ And when Elisha came into the house, look, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.

updv@2Kings:4:33 @ He went in therefore, and shut the door on both of them, and prayed to Yahweh.

updv@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 he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

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

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

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

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

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

updv@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.

updv@2Kings:4:42 @ And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.

updv@2Kings:4:43 @ And his minister said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus says Yahweh, They will eat, and will have some left.

updv@2Kings:4:44 @ So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left, according to the word of Yahweh.

updv@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 Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, [but he was] a leper.

updv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Look, even now there have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

updv@2Kings:5:23 @ And Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them on two of his attendants; and they bore them before him.

updv@2Kings:6:8 @ Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his slaves, saying, In such and such a place will be my camp.

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

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

updv@2Kings:6:23 @ And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drank, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria did not come into the land of Israel anymore.

updv@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.

updv@2Kings:6:25 @ And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, look, they besieged it, until a donkey's head was sold for 80 [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five [pieces] of silver.

updv@2Kings:9:23 @ And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.

updv@2Kings:9:24 @ And Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

updv@2Kings:9:25 @ Then [Jehu] said 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, Yahweh laid this burden on him:

updv@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, says Yahweh; and I will requite you in this plot [of ground], says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him into the plot, according to the word of Yahweh.

updv@2Kings:9:37 @ and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they will not say, This is Jezebel.

updv@2Kings:10:7 @ And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.

updv@2Kings:10:16 @ And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh. So they made him ride in his chariot.

updv@2Kings:10:17 @ And when he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to Elijah.

updv@2Kings:10:18 @ And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.

updv@2Kings:17:16 @ And they forsook all the commandments of Yahweh their God, and made themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah, and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

updv@2Kings:17:17 @ And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and told the future and used magic, and sold themselves to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

updv@2Kings:17:18 @ Therefore Yahweh was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.

updv@2Kings:17:20 @ And Yahweh 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.

updv@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 Yahweh, and made them sin a great sin.

updv@2Kings:24:17 @ And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, [Jehoiachin's] father's brother, king is his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

updv@2Kings:24:18 @ Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

updv@2Kings:24:19 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

updv@2Kings:24:20 @ For through the anger of Yahweh it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

updv@2Kings:25:1 @ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

updv@2Kings:25:4 @ Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war [fled] by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden, while the Chaldeans were against the city all around; and [the king] went by the way of the Arabah.

updv@2Kings:25:5 @ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

updv@2Kings:25:15 @ And the firepans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

updv@2Kings:25:17 @ The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of bronze was on it; and the height of the capital was three cubits, with network and pomegranates on the capital round about, all of bronze: and like these had the second pillar with network.

updv@2Kings:25:18 @ And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the threshold:

updv@2Kings:25:19 @ and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of those who saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe, the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, who were found in the city.

updv@2Kings:25:20 @ And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

updv@2Kings:25:21 @ And the king of Babylon struck them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

updv@2Kings:25:22 @ And as for the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.

updv@2Kings:25:24 @ And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said to them, Don't be afraid because of the slaves of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it will be well with you(note:){+}(:note).

updv@2Kings:25:25 @ But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal seed, came, and ten men with him, and struck Gedaliah, so that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans who were with him at Mizpah.

updv@2Kings:25:26 @ And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

updv@2Kings:25:27 @ And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;

updv@2Kings:25:28 @ and he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon,
