nkjv@Genesis:2:19 @ Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

nkjv@Genesis:4:10 @ And He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:4:13 @ And Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is greater than I can bear!

nkjv@Genesis:4:14 @ Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me."

nkjv@Genesis:4:23 @ Then Lamech said to his wives: "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me.

nkjv@Genesis:4:24 @ If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

nkjv@Genesis:4:25 @ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, "For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed."

nkjv@Genesis:6:2 @ that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

nkjv@Genesis:6:4 @ There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

nkjv@Genesis:7:10 @ And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark--

nkjv@Genesis:8:1 @ Then God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

nkjv@Genesis:8:6 @ So it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

nkjv@Genesis:8:11 @ Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:8:13 @ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

nkjv@Genesis:8:21 @ And the LORD smelled a soothing aroma. Then the LORD said in His heart, "I will never again curse the ground for man's sake, although the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.

nkjv@Genesis:9:9 @ "And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your descendants after you,

nkjv@Genesis:9:12 @ And God said: "This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

nkjv@Genesis:9:13 @ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:9:15 @ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

nkjv@Genesis:9:16 @ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:9:17 @ And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:9:20 @ And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

nkjv@Genesis:9:21 @ Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.

nkjv@Genesis:9:23 @ But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

nkjv@Genesis:10:2 @ The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

nkjv@Genesis:10:3 @ The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

nkjv@Genesis:10:14 @ Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).

nkjv@Genesis:10:30 @ And their dwelling place was from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

nkjv@Genesis:11:2 @ And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

nkjv@Genesis:11:3 @ Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

nkjv@Genesis:11:4 @ And they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."

nkjv@Genesis:11:5 @ But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

nkjv@Genesis:11:7 @ Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

nkjv@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:11:29 @ Then Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.

nkjv@Genesis:11:31 @ And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

nkjv@Genesis:12:2 @ I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

nkjv@Genesis:12:5 @ Then Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go to the land of Canaan. So they came to the land of Canaan.

nkjv@Genesis:12:8 @ And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; there he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:12:11 @ And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance.

nkjv@Genesis:12:12 @ Therefore it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, "This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

nkjv@Genesis:12:13 @ Please say you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that I may live because of you."

nkjv@Genesis:12:14 @ So it was, when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.

nkjv@Genesis:12:15 @ The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken to Pharaoh's house.

nkjv@Genesis:12:16 @ He treated Abram well for her sake. He had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

nkjv@Genesis:12:18 @ And Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

nkjv@Genesis:12:20 @ So Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.

nkjv@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:13:7 @ And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.

nkjv@Genesis:13:8 @ So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brethren.

nkjv@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left."

nkjv@Genesis:13:13 @ But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:14:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,

nkjv@Genesis:14:2 @ that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

nkjv@Genesis:14:4 @ Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

nkjv@Genesis:14:5 @ In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

nkjv@Genesis:14:7 @ Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazezon Tamar.

nkjv@Genesis:14:9 @ against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of nations, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar--four kings against five.

nkjv@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was full of asphalt pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled; some fell there, and the remainder fled to the mountains.

nkjv@Genesis:14:13 @ Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, for he dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; and they were allies with Abram.

nkjv@Genesis:14:14 @ Now when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his three hundred and eighteen trained servants who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

nkjv@Genesis:14:16 @ So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people.

nkjv@Genesis:14:17 @ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:14:18 @ Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High.

nkjv@Genesis:14:21 @ Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself."

nkjv@Genesis:14:24 @ except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."

nkjv@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

nkjv@Genesis:15:2 @ But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"

nkjv@Genesis:15:3 @ Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!"

nkjv@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir."

nkjv@Genesis:15:9 @ So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

nkjv@Genesis:15:11 @ And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

nkjv@Genesis:15:14 @ And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.

nkjv@Genesis:15:17 @ And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.

nkjv@Genesis:15:18 @ On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates--

nkjv@Genesis:16:1 @ Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

nkjv@Genesis:16:2 @ So Sarai said to Abram, "See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her." And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

nkjv@Genesis:16:4 @ So he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress became despised in her eyes.

nkjv@Genesis:16:5 @ Then Sarai said to Abram, "My wrong be upon you! I gave my maid into your embrace; and when she saw that she had conceived, I became despised in her eyes. The LORD judge between you and me."

nkjv@Genesis:16:8 @ And He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from, and where are you going?" She said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

nkjv@Genesis:16:11 @ And the Angel of the LORD said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has heard your affliction.

nkjv@Genesis:16:13 @ Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, You-Are-the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, "Have I also here seen Him who sees me?"

nkjv@Genesis:16:15 @ So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

nkjv@Genesis:17:1 @ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

nkjv@Genesis:17:2 @ And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

nkjv@Genesis:17:4 @ "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

nkjv@Genesis:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

nkjv@Genesis:17:6 @ I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.

nkjv@Genesis:17:7 @ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

nkjv@Genesis:17:10 @ This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;

nkjv@Genesis:17:11 @ and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

nkjv@Genesis:17:15 @ Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

nkjv@Genesis:17:19 @ Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

nkjv@Genesis:17:21 @ But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year."

nkjv@Genesis:17:23 @ So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him.

nkjv@Genesis:17:26 @ That very same day Abraham was circumcised, and his son Ishmael;

nkjv@Genesis:17:27 @ and all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

nkjv@Genesis:18:2 @ So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground,

nkjv@Genesis:18:5 @ And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant." They said, "Do as you have said."

nkjv@Genesis:18:6 @ So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, "Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes."

nkjv@Genesis:18:10 @ And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son." (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)

nkjv@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."

nkjv@Genesis:18:16 @ Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way.

nkjv@Genesis:18:18 @ since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

nkjv@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know."

nkjv@Genesis:18:22 @ Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD.

nkjv@Genesis:18:23 @ And Abraham came near and said, "Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

nkjv@Genesis:19:1 @ Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:19:4 @ Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.

nkjv@Genesis:19:5 @ And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally."

nkjv@Genesis:19:8 @ See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof."

nkjv@Genesis:19:9 @ And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

nkjv@Genesis:19:10 @ But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

nkjv@Genesis:19:11 @ And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

nkjv@Genesis:19:12 @ Then the men said to Lot, "Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city--take them out of this place!

nkjv@Genesis:19:14 @ So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, "Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!" But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

nkjv@Genesis:19:15 @ When the morning dawned, the angels urged Lot to hurry, saying, "Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the punishment of the city."

nkjv@Genesis:19:16 @ And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife's hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the LORD being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.

nkjv@Genesis:19:17 @ So it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed."

nkjv@Genesis:19:19 @ Indeed now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.

nkjv@Genesis:19:20 @ See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live."

nkjv@Genesis:19:22 @ Hurry, escape there. For I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

nkjv@Genesis:19:26 @ But his wife looked back behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

nkjv@Genesis:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

nkjv@Genesis:19:31 @ Now the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:19:32 @ Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the lineage of our father."

nkjv@Genesis:19:37 @ The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:19:38 @ And the younger, she also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:20:2 @ Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

nkjv@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife."

nkjv@Genesis:20:4 @ But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also?

nkjv@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not say to me, "She is my sister'? And she, even she herself said, "He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this."

nkjv@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

nkjv@Genesis:20:8 @ So Abimelech rose early in the morning, called all his servants, and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were very much afraid.

nkjv@Genesis:20:9 @ And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? How have I offended you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done."

nkjv@Genesis:20:10 @ Then Abimelech said to Abraham, "What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?"

nkjv@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.

nkjv@Genesis:20:12 @ But indeed she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

nkjv@Genesis:20:13 @ And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, "This is your kindness that you should do for me: in every place, wherever we go, say of me, "He is my brother.""'

nkjv@Genesis:20:14 @ Then Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him.

nkjv@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, "See, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you."

nkjv@Genesis:20:17 @ So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

nkjv@Genesis:20:18 @ for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

nkjv@Genesis:21:2 @ For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

nkjv@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him--whom Sarah bore to him--Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me."

nkjv@Genesis:21:8 @ So the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.

nkjv@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, namely with Isaac."

nkjv@Genesis:21:16 @ Then she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, "Let me not see the death of the boy." So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.

nkjv@Genesis:21:20 @ So God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

nkjv@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phichol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, "God is with you in all that you do.

nkjv@Genesis:21:23 @ Now therefore, swear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have dwelt."

nkjv@Genesis:21:25 @ Then Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech's servants had seized.

nkjv@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor had I heard of it until today."

nkjv@Genesis:21:27 @ So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

nkjv@Genesis:21:29 @ Then Abimelech asked Abraham, "What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?"

nkjv@Genesis:21:32 @ Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba. So Abimelech rose with Phichol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

nkjv@Genesis:21:33 @ Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

nkjv@Genesis:22:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:22:3 @ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

nkjv@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you."

nkjv@Genesis:22:9 @ Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

nkjv@Genesis:22:12 @ And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."

nkjv@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

nkjv@Genesis:22:15 @ Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,

nkjv@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

nkjv@Genesis:22:20 @ Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, "Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

nkjv@Genesis:22:24 @ His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.

nkjv@Genesis:23:2 @ So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

nkjv@Genesis:23:4 @ "I am a foreigner and a visitor among you. Give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

nkjv@Genesis:23:8 @ And he spoke with them, saying, "If it is your wish that I bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and meet with Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

nkjv@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you."

nkjv@Genesis:23:11 @ "No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and the cave that is in it; I give it to you in the presence of the sons of my people. I give it to you. Bury your dead!"

nkjv@Genesis:23:13 @ and he spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, "If you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field; take it from me and I will bury my dead there."

nkjv@Genesis:23:15 @ "My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead."

nkjv@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver for Ephron which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.

nkjv@Genesis:24:5 @ And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?"

nkjv@Genesis:24:7 @ The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, "To your descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

nkjv@Genesis:24:10 @ Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

nkjv@Genesis:24:11 @ And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.

nkjv@Genesis:24:12 @ Then he said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

nkjv@Genesis:24:13 @ Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

nkjv@Genesis:24:14 @ Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, "Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, "Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master."

nkjv@Genesis:24:15 @ And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.

nkjv@Genesis:24:16 @ Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.

nkjv@Genesis:24:17 @ And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher."

nkjv@Genesis:24:19 @ And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking."

nkjv@Genesis:24:20 @ Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

nkjv@Genesis:24:22 @ So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,

nkjv@Genesis:24:23 @ and said, "Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?"

nkjv@Genesis:24:27 @ And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren."

nkjv@Genesis:24:29 @ Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:30 @ So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

nkjv@Genesis:24:31 @ And he said, "Come in, O blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels."

nkjv@Genesis:24:32 @ Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:24:35 @ The LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

nkjv@Genesis:24:37 @ Now my master made me swear, saying, "You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

nkjv@Genesis:24:39 @ And I said to my master, "Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'

nkjv@Genesis:24:40 @ But he said to me, "The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's house.

nkjv@Genesis:24:42 @ "And this day I came to the well and said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

nkjv@Genesis:24:43 @ behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"

nkjv@Genesis:24:44 @ and she says to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,"--let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

nkjv@Genesis:24:45 @ "But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, "Please let me drink.'

nkjv@Genesis:24:46 @ And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, "Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also.

nkjv@Genesis:24:48 @ And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.

nkjv@Genesis:24:49 @ Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left."

nkjv@Genesis:24:50 @ Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.

nkjv@Genesis:24:52 @ And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. Then they arose in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."

nkjv@Genesis:24:56 @ And he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master."

nkjv@Genesis:24:59 @ So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men.

nkjv@Genesis:24:60 @ And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: "Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them."

nkjv@Genesis:24:61 @ Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

nkjv@Genesis:24:62 @ Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.

nkjv@Genesis:24:63 @ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming.

nkjv@Genesis:24:64 @ Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;

nkjv@Genesis:24:65 @ for she had said to the servant, "Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took a veil and covered herself.

nkjv@Genesis:24:67 @ Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

nkjv@Genesis:25:1 @ Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

nkjv@Genesis:25:2 @ And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

nkjv@Genesis:25:11 @ And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.

nkjv@Genesis:25:13 @ And these were the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

nkjv@Genesis:25:16 @ These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their towns and their settlements, twelve princes according to their nations.

nkjv@Genesis:25:25 @ And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.

nkjv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

nkjv@Genesis:25:28 @ And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

nkjv@Genesis:25:29 @ Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.

nkjv@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary." Therefore his name was called Edom.

nkjv@Genesis:25:31 @ But Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright as of this day."

nkjv@Genesis:25:32 @ And Esau said, "Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:25:33 @ Then Jacob said, "Swear to me as of this day." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

nkjv@Genesis:26:1 @ There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.

nkjv@Genesis:26:5 @ because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

nkjv@Genesis:26:7 @ And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, "She is my sister"; for he was afraid to say, "She is my wife," because he thought, "lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to behold."

nkjv@Genesis:26:8 @ Now it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through a window, and saw, and there was Isaac, showing endearment to Rebekah his wife.

nkjv@Genesis:26:9 @ Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Quite obviously she is your wife; so how could you say, "She is my sister'?" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, "Lest I die on account of her.'

nkjv@Genesis:26:10 @ And Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might soon have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us."

nkjv@Genesis:26:11 @ So Abimelech charged all his people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

nkjv@Genesis:26:12 @ Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.

nkjv@Genesis:26:13 @ The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;

nkjv@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we."

nkjv@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. He called them by the names which his father had called them.

nkjv@Genesis:26:20 @ But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." So he called the name of the well Esek, because they quarreled with him.

nkjv@Genesis:26:21 @ Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.

nkjv@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, "For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land."

nkjv@Genesis:26:24 @ And the LORD appeared to him the same night and said, "I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your descendants for My servant Abraham's sake."

nkjv@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.

nkjv@Genesis:26:26 @ Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phichol the commander of his army.

nkjv@Genesis:26:27 @ And Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?"

nkjv@Genesis:26:32 @ It came to pass the same day that Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

nkjv@Genesis:26:33 @ So he called it Shebah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

nkjv@Genesis:27:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, "My son." And he answered him, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:27:3 @ Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

nkjv@Genesis:27:4 @ And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die."

nkjv@Genesis:27:5 @ Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

nkjv@Genesis:27:7 @ "Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the LORD before my death.'

nkjv@Genesis:27:9 @ Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.

nkjv@Genesis:27:12 @ Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing."

nkjv@Genesis:27:13 @ But his mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me."

nkjv@Genesis:27:19 @ Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me."

nkjv@Genesis:27:20 @ But Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" And he said, "Because the LORD your God brought it to me."

nkjv@Genesis:27:21 @ Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

nkjv@Genesis:27:25 @ He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's game, so that my soul may bless you." So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

nkjv@Genesis:27:26 @ Then his father Isaac said to him, "Come near now and kiss me, my son."

nkjv@Genesis:27:27 @ And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: "Surely, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field Which the LORD has blessed.

nkjv@Genesis:27:30 @ Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

nkjv@Genesis:27:31 @ He also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, "Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that your soul may bless me."

nkjv@Genesis:27:33 @ Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, "Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him--and indeed he shall be blessed."

nkjv@Genesis:27:34 @ When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me--me also, O my father!"

nkjv@Genesis:27:35 @ But he said, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing."

nkjv@Genesis:27:36 @ And Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!" And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

nkjv@Genesis:27:38 @ And Esau said to his father, "Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me--me also, O my father!" And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

nkjv@Genesis:27:40 @ By your sword you shall live, And you shall serve your brother; And it shall come to pass, when you become restless, That you shall break his yoke from your neck."

nkjv@Genesis:27:46 @ And Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:28:11 @ So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

nkjv@Genesis:28:12 @ Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

nkjv@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"

nkjv@Genesis:28:19 @ And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.

nkjv@Genesis:28:20 @ Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

nkjv@Genesis:28:21 @ so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God.

nkjv@Genesis:28:22 @ And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."

nkjv@Genesis:29:1 @ So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East.

nkjv@Genesis:29:7 @ Then he said, "Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

nkjv@Genesis:29:9 @ Now while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

nkjv@Genesis:29:10 @ And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

nkjv@Genesis:29:13 @ Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.

nkjv@Genesis:29:15 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?

nkjv@Genesis:29:16 @ Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

nkjv@Genesis:29:19 @ And Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

nkjv@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed only a few days to him because of the love he had for her.

nkjv@Genesis:29:21 @ Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

nkjv@Genesis:29:22 @ And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

nkjv@Genesis:29:23 @ Now it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to Jacob; and he went in to her.

nkjv@Genesis:29:25 @ So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nkjv@Genesis:29:27 @ Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me still another seven years."

nkjv@Genesis:29:32 @ So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, "The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me."

nkjv@Genesis:29:33 @ Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon.

nkjv@Genesis:29:34 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore his name was called Levi.

nkjv@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Now I will praise the LORD." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

nkjv@Genesis:30:1 @ Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die!"

nkjv@Genesis:30:6 @ Then Rachel said, "God has judged my case; and He has also heard my voice and given me a son." Therefore she called his name Dan.

nkjv@Genesis:30:8 @ Then Rachel said, "With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed." So she called his name Naphtali.

nkjv@Genesis:30:11 @ Then Leah said, "A troop comes!" So she called his name Gad.

nkjv@Genesis:30:13 @ Then Leah said, "I am happy, for the daughters will call me blessed." So she called his name Asher.

nkjv@Genesis:30:14 @ Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

nkjv@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." And he lay with her that night.

nkjv@Genesis:30:18 @ Leah said, "God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband." So she called his name Issachar.

nkjv@Genesis:30:20 @ And Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good endowment; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she called his name Zebulun.

nkjv@Genesis:30:21 @ Afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

nkjv@Genesis:30:22 @ Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.

nkjv@Genesis:30:24 @ So she called his name Joseph, and said, "The LORD shall add to me another son."

nkjv@Genesis:30:25 @ And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my country.

nkjv@Genesis:30:26 @ Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service which I have done for you."

nkjv@Genesis:30:27 @ And Laban said to him, "Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake."

nkjv@Genesis:30:28 @ Then he said, "Name me your wages, and I will give it."

nkjv@Genesis:30:29 @ So Jacob said to him, "You know how I have served you and how your livestock has been with me.

nkjv@Genesis:30:30 @ For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased to a great amount; the LORD has blessed you since my coming. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?"

nkjv@Genesis:30:31 @ So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flocks:

nkjv@Genesis:30:32 @ Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and these shall be my wages.

nkjv@Genesis:30:33 @ So my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me."

nkjv@Genesis:30:35 @ So he removed that day the male goats that were speckled and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

nkjv@Genesis:30:38 @ And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the gutters, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should conceive when they came to drink.

nkjv@Genesis:30:41 @ And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.

nkjv@Genesis:30:43 @ Thus the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

nkjv@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, "I see your father's countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:7 @ Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:9 @ So God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:10 @ "And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.

nkjv@Genesis:31:11 @ Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, "Jacob.' And I said, "Here I am.'

nkjv@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you made a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your family."'

nkjv@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not considered strangers by him? For he has sold us, and also completely consumed our money.

nkjv@Genesis:31:17 @ Then Jacob rose and set his sons and his wives on camels.

nkjv@Genesis:31:24 @ But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad."

nkjv@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob: "What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword?

nkjv@Genesis:31:27 @ Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and not tell me; for I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with timbrel and harp?

nkjv@Genesis:31:28 @ And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have done foolishly in so doing.

nkjv@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

nkjv@Genesis:31:31 @ Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I said, "Perhaps you would take your daughters from me by force.'

nkjv@Genesis:31:32 @ With whomever you find your gods, do not let him live. In the presence of our brethren, identify what I have of yours and take it with you." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

nkjv@Genesis:31:34 @ Now Rachel had taken the household idols, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. And Laban searched all about the tent but did not find them.

nkjv@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, "Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is with me." And he searched but did not find the household idols.

nkjv@Genesis:31:36 @ Then Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban: "What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued me?

nkjv@Genesis:31:40 @ There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

nkjv@Genesis:31:41 @ Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

nkjv@Genesis:31:42 @ Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night."

nkjv@Genesis:31:44 @ Now therefore, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me."

nkjv@Genesis:31:48 @ And Laban said, "This heap is a witness between you and me this day." Therefore its name was called Galeed,

nkjv@Genesis:31:49 @ also Mizpah, because he said, "May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from another.

nkjv@Genesis:31:50 @ If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us--see, God is witness between you and me!"

nkjv@Genesis:31:51 @ Then Laban said to Jacob, "Here is this heap and here is this pillar, which I have placed between you and me.

nkjv@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

nkjv@Genesis:32:1 @ So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

nkjv@Genesis:32:2 @ When Jacob saw them, he said, "This is God's camp." And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

nkjv@Genesis:32:3 @ Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

nkjv@Genesis:32:6 @ Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."

nkjv@Genesis:32:7 @ So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.

nkjv@Genesis:32:8 @ And he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape."

nkjv@Genesis:32:9 @ Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, "Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you':

nkjv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.

nkjv@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children.

nkjv@Genesis:32:13 @ So he lodged there that same night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother:

nkjv@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

nkjv@Genesis:32:16 @ Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves."

nkjv@Genesis:32:17 @ And he commanded the first one, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, "To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?'

nkjv@Genesis:32:20 @ and also say, "Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us."' For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

nkjv@Genesis:32:26 @ And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"

nkjv@Genesis:32:27 @ So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

nkjv@Genesis:32:28 @ And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."

nkjv@Genesis:32:29 @ Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there.

nkjv@Genesis:32:30 @ So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."

nkjv@Genesis:33:1 @ Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.

nkjv@Genesis:33:3 @ Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

nkjv@Genesis:33:4 @ But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

nkjv@Genesis:33:5 @ And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, "Who are these with you?" So he said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

nkjv@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down.

nkjv@Genesis:33:7 @ And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.

nkjv@Genesis:33:8 @ Then Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" And he said, "These are to find favor in the sight of my lord."

nkjv@Genesis:33:10 @ And Jacob said, "No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

nkjv@Genesis:33:11 @ Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." So he urged him, and he took it.

nkjv@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.

nkjv@Genesis:33:14 @ Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir."

nkjv@Genesis:33:15 @ And Esau said, "Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me." But he said, "What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

nkjv@Genesis:33:17 @ And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

nkjv@Genesis:33:18 @ Then Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram; and he pitched his tent before the city.

nkjv@Genesis:34:4 @ So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as a wife."

nkjv@Genesis:34:5 @ And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.

nkjv@Genesis:34:7 @ And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.

nkjv@Genesis:34:11 @ Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.

nkjv@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife."

nkjv@Genesis:34:15 @ But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,

nkjv@Genesis:34:16 @ then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

nkjv@Genesis:34:20 @ And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:

nkjv@Genesis:34:21 @ "These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

nkjv@Genesis:34:22 @ Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.

nkjv@Genesis:34:25 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.

nkjv@Genesis:34:27 @ The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.

nkjv@Genesis:34:30 @ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I."

nkjv@Genesis:35:2 @ And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.

nkjv@Genesis:35:3 @ Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone."

nkjv@Genesis:35:6 @ So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

nkjv@Genesis:35:8 @ Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.

nkjv@Genesis:35:9 @ Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.

nkjv@Genesis:35:10 @ And God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel.

nkjv@Genesis:35:11 @ Also God said to him: "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.

nkjv@Genesis:35:15 @ And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.

nkjv@Genesis:35:17 @ Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, "Do not fear; you will have this son also."

nkjv@Genesis:35:18 @ And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

nkjv@Genesis:35:23 @ the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

nkjv@Genesis:35:27 @ Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.

nkjv@Genesis:36:10 @ These were the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, and Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau.

nkjv@Genesis:36:32 @ Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

nkjv@Genesis:36:35 @ And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.

nkjv@Genesis:36:39 @ And when Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau. His wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

nkjv@Genesis:36:40 @ And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth,

nkjv@Genesis:37:6 @ So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

nkjv@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me."

nkjv@Genesis:37:10 @ So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?"

nkjv@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."

nkjv@Genesis:37:14 @ Then he said to him, "Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me." So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.

nkjv@Genesis:37:16 @ So he said, "I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks."

nkjv@Genesis:37:18 @ Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:19 @ Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming!

nkjv@Genesis:37:20 @ Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, "Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"

nkjv@Genesis:37:23 @ So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.

nkjv@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:37:27 @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brothers listened.

nkjv@Genesis:38:1 @ It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah.

nkjv@Genesis:38:2 @ And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he married her and went in to her.

nkjv@Genesis:38:3 @ So she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.

nkjv@Genesis:38:4 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.

nkjv@Genesis:38:5 @ And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.

nkjv@Genesis:38:6 @ Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

nkjv@Genesis:38:9 @ But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.

nkjv@Genesis:38:12 @ Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

nkjv@Genesis:38:14 @ So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.

nkjv@Genesis:38:16 @ Then he turned to her by the way, and said, "Please let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

nkjv@Genesis:38:17 @ And he said, "I will send a young goat from the flock." So she said, "Will you give me a pledge till you send it?

nkjv@Genesis:38:19 @ So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood.

nkjv@Genesis:38:21 @ Then he asked the men of that place, saying, "Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?" And they said, "There was no harlot in this place."

nkjv@Genesis:38:22 @ So he returned to Judah and said, "I cannot find her. Also, the men of the place said there was no harlot in this place."

nkjv@Genesis:38:23 @ Then Judah said, "Let her take them for herself, lest we be shamed; for I sent this young goat and you have not found her."

nkjv@Genesis:38:24 @ And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry." So Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

nkjv@Genesis:38:27 @ Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb.

nkjv@Genesis:38:28 @ And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."

nkjv@Genesis:38:29 @ Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, "How did you break through? This breach be upon you!" Therefore his name was called Perez.

nkjv@Genesis:38:30 @ Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. And his name was called Zerah.

nkjv@Genesis:39:5 @ So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field.

nkjv@Genesis:39:6 @ Thus he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

nkjv@Genesis:39:7 @ And it came to pass after these things that his master's wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with me."

nkjv@Genesis:39:8 @ But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.

nkjv@Genesis:39:9 @ There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

nkjv@Genesis:39:11 @ But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,

nkjv@Genesis:39:12 @ that she caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me." But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.

nkjv@Genesis:39:13 @ And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside,

nkjv@Genesis:39:14 @ that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, "See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

nkjv@Genesis:39:15 @ And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside."

nkjv@Genesis:39:16 @ So she kept his garment with her until his master came home.

nkjv@Genesis:39:17 @ Then she spoke to him with words like these, saying, "The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to mock me;

nkjv@Genesis:39:18 @ so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside."

nkjv@Genesis:39:19 @ So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, "Your servant did to me after this manner," that his anger was aroused.

nkjv@Genesis:39:21 @ But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

nkjv@Genesis:40:1 @ It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:40:6 @ And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.

nkjv@Genesis:40:8 @ And they said to him, "We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it." So Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please."

nkjv@Genesis:40:9 @ Then the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

nkjv@Genesis:40:13 @ Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler.

nkjv@Genesis:40:14 @ But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

nkjv@Genesis:40:15 @ For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon."

nkjv@Genesis:40:20 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.

nkjv@Genesis:40:23 @ Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

nkjv@Genesis:41:1 @ Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.

nkjv@Genesis:41:2 @ Suddenly there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.

nkjv@Genesis:41:3 @ Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.

nkjv@Genesis:41:5 @ He slept and dreamed a second time; and suddenly seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.

nkjv@Genesis:41:8 @ Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:41:9 @ Then the chief butler spoke to Pharaoh, saying: "I remember my faults this day.

nkjv@Genesis:41:10 @ When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,

nkjv@Genesis:41:11 @ we each had a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.

nkjv@Genesis:41:13 @ And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

nkjv@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:41:16 @ So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

nkjv@Genesis:41:18 @ Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine looking and fat; and they fed in the meadow.

nkjv@Genesis:41:19 @ Then behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such ugliness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:22 @ Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one stalk, full and good.

nkjv@Genesis:41:24 @ And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

nkjv@Genesis:41:27 @ And the seven thin and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.

nkjv@Genesis:41:29 @ Indeed seven years of great plenty will come throughout all the land of Egypt;

nkjv@Genesis:41:42 @ Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph's hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.

nkjv@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:49 @ Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was immeasurable.

nkjv@Genesis:41:50 @ And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

nkjv@Genesis:41:51 @ Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: "For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house."

nkjv@Genesis:41:52 @ And the name of the second he called Ephraim: "For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."

nkjv@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

nkjv@Genesis:41:56 @ The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:41:57 @ So all countries came to Joseph in Egypt to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all lands.

nkjv@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Lest some calamity befall him."

nkjv@Genesis:42:6 @ Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:42:7 @ Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

nkjv@Genesis:42:9 @ Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!"

nkjv@Genesis:42:10 @ And they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

nkjv@Genesis:42:11 @ We are all one man's sons; we are honest men; your servants are not spies."

nkjv@Genesis:42:12 @ But he said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land."

nkjv@Genesis:42:15 @ In this manner you shall be tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

nkjv@Genesis:42:19 @ If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.

nkjv@Genesis:42:20 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die." And they did so.

nkjv@Genesis:42:21 @ Then they said to one another, "We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not hear; therefore this distress has come upon us."

nkjv@Genesis:42:24 @ And he turned himself away from them and wept. Then he returned to them again, and talked with them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

nkjv@Genesis:42:27 @ But as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the encampment, he saw his money; and there it was, in the mouth of his sack.

nkjv@Genesis:42:31 @ But we said to him, "We are honest men; we are not spies.

nkjv@Genesis:42:33 @ Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, "By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.

nkjv@Genesis:42:34 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. I will grant your brother to you, and you may trade in the land."'

nkjv@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob their father said to them, "You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me."

nkjv@Genesis:43:2 @ And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food."

nkjv@Genesis:43:6 @ And Israel said, "Why did you deal so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you had still another brother?"

nkjv@Genesis:43:8 @ Then Judah said to Israel his father, "Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

nkjv@Genesis:43:9 @ I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

nkjv@Genesis:43:10 @ For if we had not lingered, surely by now we would have returned this second time."

nkjv@Genesis:43:11 @ And their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man--a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

nkjv@Genesis:43:14 @ And may God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved!"

nkjv@Genesis:43:15 @ So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.

nkjv@Genesis:43:16 @ When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Take these men to my home, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon."

nkjv@Genesis:43:17 @ Then the man did as Joseph ordered, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.

nkjv@Genesis:43:18 @ Now the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, "It is because of the money, which was returned in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may make a case against us and seize us, to take us as slaves with our donkeys."

nkjv@Genesis:43:20 @ and said, "O sir, we indeed came down the first time to buy food;

nkjv@Genesis:43:21 @ but it happened, when we came to the encampment, that we opened our sacks, and there, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.

nkjv@Genesis:43:23 @ But he said, "Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

nkjv@Genesis:43:24 @ So the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.

nkjv@Genesis:43:26 @ And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.

nkjv@Genesis:43:29 @ Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."

nkjv@Genesis:43:30 @ Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.

nkjv@Genesis:43:31 @ Then he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, "Serve the bread."

nkjv@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.

nkjv@Genesis:43:34 @ Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin's serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.

nkjv@Genesis:44:1 @ And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack.

nkjv@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

nkjv@Genesis:44:4 @ When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, "Why have you repaid evil for good?

nkjv@Genesis:44:6 @ So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.

nkjv@Genesis:44:9 @ With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

nkjv@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, "Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless."

nkjv@Genesis:44:14 @ So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there; and they fell before him on the ground.

nkjv@Genesis:44:17 @ But he said, "Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father."

nkjv@Genesis:44:18 @ Then Judah came near to him and said: "O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's hearing, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even like Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:44:21 @ Then you said to your servants, "Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'

nkjv@Genesis:44:23 @ But you said to your servants, "Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.'

nkjv@Genesis:44:27 @ Then your servant my father said to us, "You know that my wife bore me two sons;

nkjv@Genesis:44:28 @ and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn to pieces"; and I have not seen him since.

nkjv@Genesis:44:29 @ But if you take this one also from me, and calamity befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.'

nkjv@Genesis:44:30 @ "Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad's life,

nkjv@Genesis:44:32 @ For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, "If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father forever.'

nkjv@Genesis:44:34 @ For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me, lest perhaps I see the evil that would come upon my father?"

nkjv@Genesis:45:1 @ Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, "Make everyone go out from me!" So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

nkjv@Genesis:45:4 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me." So they came near. Then he said: "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:45:5 @ But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.

nkjv@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

nkjv@Genesis:45:8 @ So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Genesis:45:9 @ "Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, "Thus says your son Joseph: "God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not tarry.

nkjv@Genesis:45:11 @ There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine."'

nkjv@Genesis:45:16 @ Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." So it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.

nkjv@Genesis:45:18 @ Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.

nkjv@Genesis:45:19 @ Now you are commanded--do this: Take carts out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come.

nkjv@Genesis:45:22 @ He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

nkjv@Genesis:45:24 @ So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, "See that you do not become troubled along the way."

nkjv@Genesis:45:25 @ Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.

nkjv@Genesis:46:1 @ So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

nkjv@Genesis:46:8 @ Now these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob's firstborn.

nkjv@Genesis:46:10 @ The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.

nkjv@Genesis:46:11 @ The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

nkjv@Genesis:46:26 @ All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, besides Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all.

nkjv@Genesis:46:28 @ Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen.

nkjv@Genesis:46:29 @ So Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

nkjv@Genesis:46:30 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive."

nkjv@Genesis:46:31 @ Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, "My brothers and those of my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

nkjv@Genesis:46:32 @ And the men are shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.'

nkjv@Genesis:47:1 @ Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and indeed they are in the land of Goshen."

nkjv@Genesis:47:2 @ And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.

nkjv@Genesis:47:4 @ And they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to dwell in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

nkjv@Genesis:47:5 @ Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

nkjv@Genesis:47:6 @ The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then make them chief herdsmen over my livestock."

nkjv@Genesis:47:11 @ And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

nkjv@Genesis:47:15 @ So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed."

nkjv@Genesis:47:18 @ When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.

nkjv@Genesis:47:20 @ Then Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh's.

nkjv@Genesis:47:24 @ And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones."

nkjv@Genesis:47:26 @ And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh's.

nkjv@Genesis:47:29 @ When the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Now if I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

nkjv@Genesis:47:30 @ but let me lie with my fathers; you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do as you have said."

nkjv@Genesis:47:31 @ Then he said, "Swear to me." And he swore to him. So Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.

nkjv@Genesis:48:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, "Indeed your father is sick"; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

nkjv@Genesis:48:3 @ Then Jacob said to Joseph: "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

nkjv@Genesis:48:4 @ and said to me, "Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.'

nkjv@Genesis:48:5 @ And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

nkjv@Genesis:48:6 @ Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

nkjv@Genesis:48:7 @ But as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

nkjv@Genesis:48:9 @ Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place." And he said, "Please bring them to me, and I will bless them."

nkjv@Genesis:48:11 @ And Israel said to Joseph, "I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!"

nkjv@Genesis:48:15 @ And he blessed Joseph, and said: "God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has fed me all my life long to this day,

nkjv@Genesis:48:16 @ The Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; Let my name be named upon them, And the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

nkjv@Genesis:48:19 @ But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

nkjv@Genesis:50:9 @ And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great gathering.

nkjv@Genesis:50:10 @ Then they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and they mourned there with a great and very solemn lamentation. He observed seven days of mourning for his father.

nkjv@Genesis:50:11 @ And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a deep mourning of the Egyptians." Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

nkjv@Genesis:50:16 @ So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, "Before your father died he commanded, saying,

nkjv@Genesis:50:20 @ But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

nkjv@Exodus:2:10 @ And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. So she called his name Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water."

nkjv@Exodus:2:11 @ Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

nkjv@Exodus:2:13 @ And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, "Why are you striking your companion?"

nkjv@Exodus:4:3 @ And He said, "Cast it on the ground." So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

nkjv@Exodus:4:4 @ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail" (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand),

nkjv@Exodus:4:8 @ "Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that they may believe the message of the latter sign.

nkjv@Exodus:4:9 @ And it shall be, if they do not believe even these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land."

nkjv@Exodus:5:9 @ Let more work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard false words."

nkjv@Exodus:5:15 @ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, "Why are you dealing thus with your servants?

nkjv@Exodus:5:20 @ Then, as they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them.

nkjv@Exodus:5:22 @ So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me?

nkjv@Exodus:5:23 @ For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all."

nkjv@Exodus:6:3 @ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD I was not known to them.

nkjv@Exodus:7:9 @ "When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, "Show a miracle for yourselves,' then you shall say to Aaron, "Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent."'

nkjv@Exodus:7:10 @ So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

nkjv@Exodus:7:11 @ But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

nkjv@Exodus:7:12 @ For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

nkjv@Exodus:7:15 @ Go to Pharaoh in the morning, when he goes out to the water, and you shall stand by the river's bank to meet him; and the rod which was turned to a serpent you shall take in your hand.

nkjv@Exodus:8:17 @ And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice on man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Exodus:8:18 @ Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.

nkjv@Exodus:13:2 @ "Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine."

nkjv@Exodus:13:3 @ And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

nkjv@Exodus:13:17 @ Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, "Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt."

nkjv@Exodus:14:9 @ So the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

nkjv@Exodus:14:15 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

nkjv@Exodus:14:20 @ So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

nkjv@Exodus:14:23 @ And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

nkjv@Exodus:14:24 @ Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians.

nkjv@Exodus:16:1 @ And they journeyed from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they departed from the land of Egypt.

nkjv@Exodus:16:3 @ And the children of Israel said to them, "Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

nkjv@Exodus:16:18 @ So when they measured it by omers, he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need.

nkjv@Exodus:16:20 @ Notwithstanding they did not heed Moses. But some of them left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.

nkjv@Exodus:16:21 @ So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.

nkjv@Exodus:16:22 @ And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

nkjv@Exodus:16:27 @ Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.

nkjv@Exodus:16:28 @ And the LORD said to Moses, "How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?

nkjv@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying:

nkjv@Joshua:4:2 @ "Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe,

nkjv@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe;

nkjv@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, "What do these stones mean to you?'

nkjv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever."

nkjv@Joshua:4:11 @ Then it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.

nkjv@Joshua:4:12 @ And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

nkjv@Joshua:4:16 @ "Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan."

nkjv@Joshua:4:17 @ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan."

nkjv@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.

nkjv@Joshua:4:19 @ Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:4:21 @ Then he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, "What are these stones?'

nkjv@Joshua:5:1 @ So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."

nkjv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

nkjv@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

nkjv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."

nkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.

nkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "Are You for us or for our adversaries?"

nkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ So He said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:6:3 @ You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

nkjv@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

nkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him."

nkjv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the LORD."

nkjv@Joshua:6:9 @ The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets.

nkjv@Joshua:6:11 @ So he had the ark of the LORD circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and lodged in the camp.

nkjv@Joshua:6:13 @ Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets.

nkjv@Joshua:6:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.

nkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

nkjv@Joshua:6:17 @ Now the city shall be doomed by the LORD to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

nkjv@Joshua:6:18 @ And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

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

nkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."

nkjv@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father's household, and all that she had. So she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

nkjv@Joshua:6:26 @ Then Joshua charged them at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates."

nkjv@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.

nkjv@Joshua:7:2 @ Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and spy out the country." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few."

nkjv@Joshua:7:4 @ So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.

nkjv@Joshua:7:9 @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?"

nkjv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.

nkjv@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

nkjv@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes shall come according to families; and the family which the LORD takes shall come by households; and the household which the LORD takes shall come man by man.

nkjv@Joshua:7:19 @ Now Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I beg you, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."

nkjv@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it."

nkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

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

nkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ Then they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:5 @ Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city; and it will come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them.

nkjv@Joshua:8:6 @ For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, "They are fleeing before us as at the first.' Therefore we will flee before them.

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now a valley lay between them and Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:12 @ So he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

nkjv@Joshua:8:14 @ Now it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:21 @ Now when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:22 @ Then the others came out of the city against them; so they were caught in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side. And they struck them down, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

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

nkjv@Joshua:8:25 @ So it was that all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand--all the people of Ai.

nkjv@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.

nkjv@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon--the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite--heard about it,

nkjv@Joshua:9:4 @ they worked craftily, and went and pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and mended,

nkjv@Joshua:9:5 @ old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.

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

nkjv@Joshua:9:7 @ Then the men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you dwell among us; so how can we make a covenant with you?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:8 @ But they said to Joshua, "We are your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who are you, and where do you come from?"

nkjv@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He did in Egypt,

nkjv@Joshua:9:11 @ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, "Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, "We are your servants; now therefore, make a covenant with us."'

nkjv@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now look, it is dry and moldy.

nkjv@Joshua:9:13 @ And these wineskins which we filled were new, and see, they are torn; and these our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey."

nkjv@Joshua:9:14 @ Then the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask counsel of the LORD.

nkjv@Joshua:9:17 @ Then the children of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath Jearim.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:4 @ "Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel."

nkjv@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us."

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:9 @ Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgal.

nkjv@Joshua:10:18 @ So Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to guard them.

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:24 @ So it was, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.

nkjv@Joshua:10:27 @ So it was at the time of the going down of the sun that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.

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

nkjv@Joshua:10:42 @ All these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:11:6 @ But the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

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

nkjv@Joshua:11:10 @ Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.

nkjv@Joshua:11:18 @ Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

nkjv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

nkjv@Joshua:12:20 @ the king of Shimron Meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

nkjv@Joshua:12:21 @ the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

nkjv@Joshua:12:22 @ the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;

nkjv@Joshua:13:4 @ from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians as far as Aphek, to the border of the Amorites;

nkjv@Joshua:13:9 @ from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon;

nkjv@Joshua:13:16 @ Their territory was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, and all the plain by Medeba;

nkjv@Joshua:13:17 @ Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

nkjv@Joshua:13:18 @ Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

nkjv@Joshua:14:6 @ Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: "You know the word which the LORD said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea.

nkjv@Joshua:14:7 @ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back word to him as it was in my heart.

nkjv@Joshua:14:8 @ Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

nkjv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the LORD spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

nkjv@Joshua:14:11 @ As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.

nkjv@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said."

nkjv@Joshua:14:14 @ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:14:15 @ And the name of Hebron formerly was Kirjath Arba (Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim). Then the land had rest from war.

nkjv@Joshua:15:1 @ So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary.

nkjv@Joshua:15:7 @ Then the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at En Rogel.

nkjv@Joshua:15:10 @ Then the border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

nkjv@Joshua:15:13 @ Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).

nkjv@Joshua:15:15 @ Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).

nkjv@Joshua:15:18 @ Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Joshua:15:19 @ She answered, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nkjv@Joshua:15:55 @ Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah,

nkjv@Joshua:16:6 @ And the border went out toward the sea on the north side of Michmethath; then the border went around eastward to Taanath Shiloh, and passed by it on the east of Janohah.

nkjv@Joshua:16:7 @ Then it went down from Janohah to Ataroth and Naarah, reached to Jericho, and came out at the Jordan.

nkjv@Joshua:16:10 @ And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day and have become forced laborers.

nkjv@Joshua:17:1 @ There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he was the firstborn of Joseph: namely for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war; therefore he was given Gilead and Bashan.

nkjv@Joshua:17:3 @ But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:4 @ And they came near before Eleazar the priest, before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." Therefore, according to the commandment of the LORD, he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

nkjv@Joshua:17:7 @ And the territory of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, that lies east of Shechem; and the border went along south to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.

nkjv@Joshua:17:11 @ And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its towns, Ibleam and its towns, the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of En Dor and its towns, the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns--three hilly regions.

nkjv@Joshua:18:1 @ Now the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

nkjv@Joshua:18:4 @ Pick out from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise and go through the land, survey it according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

nkjv@Joshua:18:6 @ You shall therefore survey the land in seven parts and bring the survey here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nkjv@Joshua:18:8 @ Then the men arose to go away; and Joshua charged those who went to survey the land, saying, "Go, walk through the land, survey it, and come back to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nkjv@Joshua:18:9 @ So the men went, passed through the land, and wrote the survey in a book in seven parts by cities; and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.

nkjv@Joshua:18:11 @ Now the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

nkjv@Joshua:18:16 @ Then the border came down to the end of the mountain that lies before the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is in the Valley of the Rephaim on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite city on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

nkjv@Joshua:18:17 @ And it went around from the north, went out to En Shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nkjv@Joshua:18:21 @ Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, according to their families, were Jericho, Beth Hoglah, Emek Keziz,

nkjv@Joshua:19:1 @ The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

nkjv@Joshua:19:8 @ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:9 @ The inheritance of the children of Simeon was included in the share of the children of Judah, for the share of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of that people.

nkjv@Joshua:19:10 @ The third lot came out for the children of Zebulun according to their families, and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

nkjv@Joshua:19:17 @ The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:21 @ Remeth, En Gannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez.

nkjv@Joshua:19:22 @ And the border reached to Tabor, Shahazimah, and Beth Shemesh; their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:24 @ The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:26 @ Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal; it reached to Mount Carmel westward, along the Brook Shihor Libnath.

nkjv@Joshua:19:27 @ It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, bypassing Cabul which was on the left,

nkjv@Joshua:19:32 @ The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:38 @ Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh: nineteen cities with their villages.

nkjv@Joshua:19:40 @ The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

nkjv@Joshua:19:41 @ And the territory of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh,

nkjv@Joshua:19:46 @ Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the region near Joppa.

nkjv@Joshua:19:47 @ And the border of the children of Dan went beyond these, because the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, took possession of it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

nkjv@Joshua:19:51 @ These were the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided as an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the country.

nkjv@Joshua:20:6 @ And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled."'

nkjv@Joshua:21:1 @ Then the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Joshua:21:3 @ So the children of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their common-lands:

nkjv@Joshua:21:4 @ Now the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, had thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah, from the tribe of Simeon, and from the tribe of Benjamin.

nkjv@Joshua:21:7 @ The children of Merari according to their families had twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben, from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun.

nkjv@Joshua:21:9 @ So they gave from the tribe of the children of Judah and from the tribe of the children of Simeon these cities which are designated by name,

nkjv@Joshua:21:16 @ Ain with its common-land, Juttah with its common-land, and Beth Shemesh with its common-land: nine cities from those two tribes;

nkjv@Joshua:21:34 @ And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its common-land, Kartah with its common-land,

nkjv@Joshua:21:37 @ Kedemoth with its common-land, and Mephaath with its common-land: four cities;

nkjv@Joshua:21:40 @ So all the cities for the children of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.

nkjv@Joshua:21:45 @ Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

nkjv@Joshua:22:5 @ But take careful heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."

nkjv@Joshua:22:10 @ And when they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan--a great, impressive altar.

nkjv@Joshua:22:11 @ Now the children of Israel heard someone say, "Behold, the children of Reuben, the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan--on the children of Israel's side."

nkjv@Joshua:22:15 @ Then they came to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,

nkjv@Joshua:22:24 @ But in fact we have done it for fear, for a reason, saying, "In time to come your descendants may speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with the LORD God of Israel?

nkjv@Joshua:22:28 @ Therefore we said that it will be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say, "Here is the replica of the altar of the LORD which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.'

nkjv@Joshua:23:1 @ Now it came to pass, a long time after the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old, advanced in age.

nkjv@Joshua:23:7 @ and lest you go among these nations, these who remain among you. You shall not make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause anyone to swear by them; you shall not serve them nor bow down to them,

nkjv@Joshua:23:15 @ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which the LORD your God promised you, so the LORD will bring upon you all harmful things, until He has destroyed you from this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

nkjv@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of the River in old times; and they served other gods.

nkjv@Joshua:24:6 @ "Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

nkjv@Joshua:24:7 @ So they cried out to the LORD; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.

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

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

nkjv@Joshua:24:20 @ If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good."

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

nkjv@Joshua:24:32 @ The bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in the plot of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of silver, and which had become an inheritance of the children of Joseph.

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

nkjv@Judges:1:3 @ So Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory." And Simeon went with him.

nkjv@Judges:1:4 @ Then Judah went up, and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they killed ten thousand men at Bezek.

nkjv@Judges:1:7 @ And Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.

nkjv@Judges:1:10 @ Then Judah went against the Canaanites who dwelt in Hebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

nkjv@Judges:1:11 @ From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)

nkjv@Judges:1:14 @ Now it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?"

nkjv@Judges:1:15 @ So she said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

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

nkjv@Judges:1:23 @ So the house of Joseph sent men to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city was formerly Luz.)

nkjv@Judges:1:24 @ And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, "Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will show you mercy."

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

nkjv@Judges:1:27 @ However, Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, or the inhabitants of Ibleam and its villages, or the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

nkjv@Judges:1:28 @ And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites under tribute, but did not completely drive them out.

nkjv@Judges:1:33 @ Nor did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but they dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. Nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath were put under tribute to them.

nkjv@Judges:1:34 @ And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountains, for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

nkjv@Judges:1:35 @ and the Amorites were determined to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; yet when the strength of the house of Joseph became greater, they were put under tribute.

nkjv@Judges:2:1 @ Then the Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said: "I led you up from Egypt and brought you to the land of which I swore to your fathers; and I said, "I will never break My covenant with you.

nkjv@Judges:2:17 @ Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do so.

nkjv@Judges:2:19 @ And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

nkjv@Judges:2:23 @ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

nkjv@Judges:3:2 @ (this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

nkjv@Judges:3:4 @ And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the LORD, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

nkjv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

nkjv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.

nkjv@Judges:3:19 @ But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." He said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him went out from him.

nkjv@Judges:3:20 @ So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

nkjv@Judges:3:22 @ Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

nkjv@Judges:3:24 @ When he had gone out, Eglon's servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, "He is probably attending to his needs in the cool chamber."

nkjv@Judges:3:28 @ Then he said to them, "Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

nkjv@Judges:3:29 @ And at that time they killed about ten thousand men of Moab, all stout men of valor; not a man escaped.

nkjv@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.

nkjv@Judges:4:4 @ Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

nkjv@Judges:4:5 @ And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

nkjv@Judges:4:6 @ Then she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, "Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, "Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

nkjv@Judges:4:14 @ Then Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

nkjv@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear." And when he had turned aside with her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket.

nkjv@Judges:4:19 @ Then he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him.

nkjv@Judges:4:20 @ And he said to her, "Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, "Is there any man here?' you shall say, "No."'

nkjv@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

nkjv@Judges:4:22 @ And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, I will show you the man whom you seek." And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.

nkjv@Judges:5:13 @ "Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles; The LORD came down for me against the mighty.

nkjv@Judges:5:31 @ "Thus let all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But let those who love Him be like the sun When it comes out in full strength." So the land had rest for forty years.

nkjv@Judges:6:3 @ So it was, whenever Israel had sown, Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the people of the East would come up against them.

nkjv@Judges:6:5 @ For they would come up with their livestock and their tents, coming in as numerous as locusts; both they and their camels were without number; and they would enter the land to destroy it.

nkjv@Judges:6:7 @ And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD because of the Midianites,

nkjv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.

nkjv@Judges:6:17 @ Then he said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who talk with me.

nkjv@Judges:6:18 @ Do not depart from here, I pray, until I come to You and bring out my offering and set it before You." And He said, "I will wait until you come back."

nkjv@Judges:6:19 @ So Gideon went in and prepared a young goat, and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot; and he brought them out to Him under the terebinth tree and presented them.

nkjv@Judges:6:20 @ The Angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so.

nkjv@Judges:6:21 @ Then the Angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

nkjv@Judges:6:25 @ Now it came to pass the same night that the LORD said to him, "Take your father's young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the wooden image that is beside it;

nkjv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the image which you shall cut down."

nkjv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as the LORD had said to him. But because he feared his father's household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.

nkjv@Judges:6:28 @ And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, there was the altar of Baal, torn down; and the wooden image that was beside it was cut down, and the second bull was being offered on the altar which had been built.

nkjv@Judges:6:30 @ Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has torn down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the wooden image that was beside it."

nkjv@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; then he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.

nkjv@Judges:6:35 @ And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, who also gathered behind him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

nkjv@Judges:6:39 @ Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew."

nkjv@Judges:7:2 @ And the LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, "My own hand has saved me.'

nkjv@Judges:7:4 @ But the LORD said to Gideon, "The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. Then it will be, that of whom I say to you, "This one shall go with you,' the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, "This one shall not go with you,' the same shall not go."

nkjv@Judges:7:6 @ And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.

nkjv@Judges:7:7 @ Then the LORD said to Gideon, "By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place."

nkjv@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions and their trumpets in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nkjv@Judges:7:9 @ It happened on the same night that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.

nkjv@Judges:7:11 @ and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp." Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outpost of the armed men who were in the camp.

nkjv@Judges:7:12 @ Now the Midianites and Amalekites, all the people of the East, were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the seashore in multitude.

nkjv@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, "I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed."

nkjv@Judges:7:16 @ Then he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet into every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers.

nkjv@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, "Look at me and do likewise; watch, and when I come to the edge of the camp you shall do as I do:

nkjv@Judges:7:18 @ When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of the whole camp, and say, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!"'

nkjv@Judges:7:19 @ So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just as they had posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and broke the pitchers that were in their hands.

nkjv@Judges:7:22 @ When the three hundred blew the trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

nkjv@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel gathered together from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and pursued the Midianites.

nkjv@Judges:7:24 @ Then Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mountains of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against the Midianites, and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan." Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and seized the watering places as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.

nkjv@Judges:8:1 @ Now the men of Ephraim said to him, "Why have you done this to us by not calling us when you went to fight with the Midianites?" And they reprimanded him sharply.

nkjv@Judges:8:4 @ When Gideon came to the Jordan, he and the three hundred men who were with him crossed over, exhausted but still in pursuit.

nkjv@Judges:8:5 @ Then he said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who follow me, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian."

nkjv@Judges:8:8 @ Then he went up from there to Penuel and spoke to them in the same way. And the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

nkjv@Judges:8:9 @ So he also spoke to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I come back in peace, I will tear down this tower!"

nkjv@Judges:8:10 @ Now Zebah and Zalmunna were at Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of all the army of the people of the East; for one hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword had fallen.

nkjv@Judges:8:14 @ And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth and interrogated him; and he wrote down for him the leaders of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men.

nkjv@Judges:8:15 @ Then he came to the men of Succoth and said, "Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you ridiculed me, saying, "Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your weary men?"'

nkjv@Judges:8:16 @ And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.

nkjv@Judges:8:17 @ Then he tore down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.

nkjv@Judges:8:18 @ And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" So they answered, "As you are, so were they; each one resembled the son of a king."

nkjv@Judges:8:21 @ So Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, and your grandson also; for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."

nkjv@Judges:8:24 @ Then Gideon said to them, "I would like to make a request of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from his plunder." For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

nkjv@Judges:8:25 @ So they answered, "We will gladly give them." And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the earrings from his plunder.

nkjv@Judges:8:26 @ Now the weight of the gold earrings that he requested was one thousand seven hundred shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels' necks.

nkjv@Judges:8:27 @ Then Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, Ophrah. And all Israel played the harlot with it there. It became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

nkjv@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:8:34 @ Thus the children of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

nkjv@Judges:9:24 @ that the crime done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might be settled and their blood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brothers.

nkjv@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way; and it was told Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:9:26 @ Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.

nkjv@Judges:9:27 @ So they went out into the fields, and gathered grapes from their vineyards and trod them, and made merry. And they went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:9:28 @ Then Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

nkjv@Judges:9:29 @ If only this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech." So he said to Abimelech, "Increase your army and come out!"

nkjv@Judges:9:31 @ And he sent messengers to Abimelech secretly, saying, "Take note! Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and here they are, fortifying the city against you.

nkjv@Judges:9:33 @ And it shall be, as soon as the sun is up in the morning, that you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you may then do to them as you find opportunity."

nkjv@Judges:9:35 @ When Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance to the city gate, Abimelech and the people who were with him rose from lying in wait.

nkjv@Judges:9:36 @ And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!" But Zebul said to him, "You see the shadows of the mountains as if they were men."

nkjv@Judges:9:38 @ Then Zebul said to him, "Where indeed is your mouth now, with which you said, "Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him?' Are not these the people whom you despised? Go out, if you will, and fight with them now."

nkjv@Judges:9:39 @ So Gaal went out, leading the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:9:40 @ And Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him; and many fell wounded, to the very entrance of the gate.

nkjv@Judges:9:41 @ Then Abimelech dwelt at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, so that they would not dwell in Shechem.

nkjv@Judges:9:42 @ And it came about on the next day that the people went out into the field, and they told Abimelech.

nkjv@Judges:9:44 @ Then Abimelech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city; and the other two companies rushed upon all who were in the fields and killed them.

nkjv@Judges:9:45 @ So Abimelech fought against the city all that day; he took the city and killed the people who were in it; and he demolished the city and sowed it with salt.

nkjv@Judges:9:46 @ Now when all the men of the tower of Shechem had heard that, they entered the stronghold of the temple of the god Berith.

nkjv@Judges:9:48 @ Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him.

nkjv@Judges:9:49 @ So each of the people likewise cut down his own bough and followed Abimelech, put them against the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire above them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.

nkjv@Judges:9:50 @ Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he encamped against Thebez and took it.

nkjv@Judges:9:51 @ But there was a strong tower in the city, and all the men and women--all the people of the city--fled there and shut themselves in; then they went up to the top of the tower.

nkjv@Judges:9:52 @ So Abimelech came as far as the tower and fought against it; and he drew near the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

nkjv@Judges:9:53 @ But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull.

nkjv@Judges:9:54 @ Then he called quickly to the young man, his armorbearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, lest men say of me, "A woman killed him."' So his young man thrust him through, and he died.

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

nkjv@Judges:9:56 @ Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father by killing his seventy brothers.

nkjv@Judges:14:5 @ So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. Now to his surprise, a young lion came roaring against him.

nkjv@Judges:14:6 @ And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

nkjv@Judges:14:8 @ After some time, when he returned to get her, he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees and honey were in the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:9 @ He took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.

nkjv@Judges:14:10 @ So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men used to do so.

nkjv@Judges:14:12 @ Then Samson said to them, "Let me pose a riddle to you. If you can correctly solve and explain it to me within the seven days of the feast, then I will give you thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.

nkjv@Judges:14:13 @ But if you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing." And they said to him, "Pose your riddle, that we may hear it."

nkjv@Judges:14:14 @ So he said to them: "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." Now for three days they could not explain the riddle.

nkjv@Judges:14:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson's wife, "Entice your husband, that he may explain the riddle to us, or else we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us in order to take what is ours? Is that not so?"

nkjv@Judges:14:16 @ Then Samson's wife wept on him, and said, "You only hate me! You do not love me! You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, but you have not explained it to me." And he said to her, "Look, I have not explained it to my father or my mother; so should I explain it to you?"

nkjv@Judges:14:18 @ So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down: "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them: "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have solved my riddle!"

nkjv@Judges:14:19 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had explained the riddle. So his anger was aroused, and he went back up to his father's house.

nkjv@Judges:15:1 @ After a while, in the time of wheat harvest, it happened that Samson visited his wife with a young goat. And he said, "Let me go in to my wife, into her room." But her father would not permit him to go in.

nkjv@Judges:15:6 @ Then the Philistines said, "Who has done this?" And they answered, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nkjv@Judges:15:10 @ And the men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" So they answered, "We have come up to arrest Samson, to do to him as he has done to us."

nkjv@Judges:15:12 @ But they said to him, "We have come down to arrest you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines." Then Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves."

nkjv@Judges:15:14 @ When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.

nkjv@Judges:15:15 @ He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.

nkjv@Judges:16:18 @ When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart." So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

nkjv@Judges:18:8 @ Then the spies came back to their brethren at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, "What is your report?"

nkjv@Judges:18:10 @ When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth."

nkjv@Judges:18:11 @ And six hundred men of the family of the Danites went from there, from Zorah and Eshtaol, armed with weapons of war.

nkjv@Judges:18:13 @ And they passed from there to the mountains of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.

nkjv@Judges:18:14 @ Then the five men who had gone to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brethren, "Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod, household idols, a carved image, and a molded image? Now therefore, consider what you should do."

nkjv@Judges:18:15 @ So they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man--to the house of Micah--and greeted him.

nkjv@Judges:18:16 @ The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

nkjv@Judges:18:17 @ Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up. Entering there, they took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molded image. The priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men who were armed with weapons of war.

nkjv@Judges:18:19 @ And they said to him, "Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:18:22 @ When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.

nkjv@Judges:18:24 @ So he said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and you have gone away. Now what more do I have? How can you say to me, "What ails you?"'

nkjv@Judges:18:25 @ And the children of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry men fall upon you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household!"

nkjv@Judges:18:29 @ And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nkjv@Judges:18:31 @ So they set up for themselves Micah's carved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

nkjv@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote mountains of Ephraim. He took for himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah.

nkjv@Judges:19:3 @ Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father's house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him.

nkjv@Judges:19:5 @ Then it came to pass on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he stood to depart; but the young woman's father said to his son-in-law, "Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way."

nkjv@Judges:19:6 @ So they sat down, and the two of them ate and drank together. Then the young woman's father said to the man, "Please be content to stay all night, and let your heart be merry."

nkjv@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man stood to depart--he and his concubine and his servant--his father-in-law, the young woman's father, said to him, "Look, the day is now drawing toward evening; please spend the night. See, the day is coming to an end; lodge here, that your heart may be merry. Tomorrow go your way early, so that you may get home."

nkjv@Judges:19:10 @ However, the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose and departed, and came opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him.

nkjv@Judges:19:11 @ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, "Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it."

nkjv@Judges:19:13 @ So he said to his servant, "Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and spend the night in Gibeah or in Ramah."

nkjv@Judges:19:16 @ Just then an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was staying in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.

nkjv@Judges:19:17 @ And when he raised his eyes, he saw the traveler in the open square of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going, and where do you come from?"

nkjv@Judges:19:18 @ So he said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah toward the remote mountains of Ephraim; I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; now I am going to the house of the LORD. But there is no one who will take me into his house,

nkjv@Judges:19:22 @ As they were enjoying themselves, suddenly certain men of the city, perverted men, surrounded the house and beat on the door. They spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him carnally!"

nkjv@Judges:19:23 @ But the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not commit this outrage.

nkjv@Judges:19:24 @ Look, here is my virgin daughter and the man's concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them as you please; but to this man do not do such a vile thing!"

nkjv@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.

nkjv@Judges:19:26 @ Then the woman came as the day was dawning, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her master was, till it was light.

nkjv@Judges:19:30 @ And so it was that all who saw it said, "No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day. Consider it, confer, and speak up!"

nkjv@Judges:20:1 @ So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

nkjv@Judges:20:5 @ And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me, but instead they ravished my concubine so that she died.

nkjv@Judges:20:10 @ We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the vileness that they have done in Israel."

nkjv@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united together as one man.

nkjv@Judges:20:12 @ Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?

nkjv@Judges:20:13 @ Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:15 @ And from their cities at that time the children of Benjamin numbered twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.

nkjv@Judges:20:16 @ Among all this people were seven hundred select men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair's breadth and not miss.

nkjv@Judges:20:17 @ Now besides Benjamin, the men of Israel numbered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword; all of these were men of war.

nkjv@Judges:20:20 @ And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel put themselves in battle array to fight against them at Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:21 @ Then the children of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day cut down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of the Israelites.

nkjv@Judges:20:22 @ And the people, that is, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day.

nkjv@Judges:20:26 @ Then all the children of Israel, that is, all the people, went up and came to the house of God and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nkjv@Judges:20:29 @ Then Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:30 @ And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.

nkjv@Judges:20:31 @ So the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nkjv@Judges:20:33 @ So all the men of Israel rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baal Tamar. Then Israel's men in ambush burst forth from their position in the plain of Geba.

nkjv@Judges:20:34 @ And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.

nkjv@Judges:20:36 @ So the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

nkjv@Judges:20:37 @ And the men in ambush quickly rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush spread out and struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@Judges:20:38 @ Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,

nkjv@Judges:20:39 @ whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

nkjv@Judges:20:41 @ And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin panicked, for they saw that disaster had come upon them.

nkjv@Judges:20:42 @ Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst.

nkjv@Judges:20:44 @ And eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor.

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

nkjv@Judges:20:47 @ But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months.

nkjv@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the children of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword--from every city, men and beasts, all who were found. They also set fire to all the cities they came to.

nkjv@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife."

nkjv@Judges:21:2 @ Then the people came to the house of God, and remained there before God till evening. They lifted up their voices and wept bitterly,

nkjv@Judges:21:3 @ and said, "O LORD God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?"

nkjv@Judges:21:5 @ The children of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to the LORD?" For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who had not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nkjv@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, "What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to the LORD?" And, in fact, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.

nkjv@Judges:21:10 @ So the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and commanded them, saying, "Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, including the women and children.

nkjv@Judges:21:14 @ So Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead; and yet they had not found enough for them.

nkjv@Judges:21:16 @ Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who remain, since the women of Benjamin have been destroyed?"

nkjv@Judges:21:21 @ and watch; and just when the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, then come out from the vineyards, and every man catch a wife for himself from the daughters of Shiloh; then go to the land of Benjamin.

nkjv@Judges:21:22 @ Then it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, "Be kind to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, making yourselves guilty of your oath."'

nkjv@Judges:21:24 @ So the children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they went out from there, every man to his inheritance.

nkjv@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion--Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the country of Moab and remained there.

nkjv@Ruth:1:3 @ Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.

nkjv@Ruth:1:4 @ Now they took wives of the women of Moab: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.

nkjv@Ruth:1:8 @ And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each to her mother's house. The LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

nkjv@Ruth:1:11 @ But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

nkjv@Ruth:1:13 @ would you wait for them till they were grown? Would you restrain yourselves from having husbands? No, my daughters; for it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me!"

nkjv@Ruth:1:16 @ But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God.

nkjv@Ruth:1:17 @ Where you die, I will die, And there will I be buried. The LORD do so to me, and more also, If anything but death parts you and me."

nkjv@Ruth:1:19 @ Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nkjv@Ruth:1:20 @ But she said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nkjv@Ruth:1:21 @ I went out full, and the LORD has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

nkjv@Ruth:1:22 @ So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

nkjv@Ruth:2:1 @ There was a relative of Naomi's husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.

nkjv@Ruth:2:2 @ So Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field, and glean heads of grain after him in whose sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."

nkjv@Ruth:2:3 @ Then she left, and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:2:4 @ Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you!" And they answered him, "The LORD bless you!"

nkjv@Ruth:2:6 @ So the servant who was in charge of the reapers answered and said, "It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the country of Moab.

nkjv@Ruth:2:7 @ And she said, "Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' So she came and has continued from morning until now, though she rested a little in the house."

nkjv@Ruth:2:8 @ Then Boaz said to Ruth, "You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women.

nkjv@Ruth:2:9 @ Let your eyes be on the field which they reap, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And when you are thirsty, go to the vessels and drink from what the young men have drawn."

nkjv@Ruth:2:10 @ So she fell on her face, bowed down to the ground, and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"

nkjv@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered and said to her, "It has been fully reported to me, all that you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know before.

nkjv@Ruth:2:12 @ The LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge."

nkjv@Ruth:2:13 @ Then she said, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord; for you have comforted me, and have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants."

nkjv@Ruth:2:14 @ Now Boaz said to her at mealtime, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and kept some back.

nkjv@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

nkjv@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where did you work? Blessed be the one who took notice of you." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nkjv@Ruth:2:21 @ Ruth the Moabitess said, "He also said to me, "You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest."'

nkjv@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, "It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field."

nkjv@Ruth:2:23 @ So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

nkjv@Ruth:3:2 @ Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our relative? In fact, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

nkjv@Ruth:3:3 @ Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, put on your best garment and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

nkjv@Ruth:3:5 @ And she said to her, "All that you say to me I will do."

nkjv@Ruth:3:7 @ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

nkjv@Ruth:3:10 @ Then he said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, my daughter! For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after young men, whether poor or rich.

nkjv@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. Then he said, "Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nkjv@Ruth:3:15 @ Also he said, "Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it." And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nkjv@Ruth:3:16 @ When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "Is that you, my daughter?" Then she told her all that the man had done for her.

nkjv@Ruth:3:17 @ And she said, "These six ephahs of barley he gave me; for he said to me, "Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law."'

nkjv@Ruth:4:1 @ Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there; and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz had spoken came by. So Boaz said, "Come aside, friend, sit down here." So he came aside and sat down.

nkjv@Ruth:4:2 @ And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down.

nkjv@Ruth:4:3 @ Then he said to the close relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, sold the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

nkjv@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to inform you, saying, "Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you."' And he said, "I will redeem it."

nkjv@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance."

nkjv@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to confirm anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was a confirmation in Israel.

nkjv@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, from the hand of Naomi.

nkjv@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day."

nkjv@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son.

nkjv@Ruth:4:14 @ Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a close relative; and may his name be famous in Israel!

nkjv@Ruth:4:16 @ Then Naomi took the child and laid him on her bosom, and became a nurse to him.

nkjv@Ruth:4:17 @ Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "There is a son born to Naomi." And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:2 @ And he had two wives: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:4 @ And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:11 @ Then she made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:19 @ Then they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nkjv@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, "Because I have asked for him from the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:3 @ "Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the LORD is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:4 @ "The bows of the mighty men are broken, And those who stumbled are girded with strength.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:5 @ Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, And the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, And she who has many children has become feeble.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the priests' custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:14 @ Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:15 @ Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, "Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw."

nkjv@1Samuel:2:17 @ Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:19 @ Moreover his mother used to make him a little robe, and bring it to him year by year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "The LORD give you descendants from this woman for the loan that was given to the LORD." Then they would go to their own home.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:21 @ And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile the child Samuel grew before the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:26 @ And the child Samuel grew in stature, and in favor both with the LORD and men.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:27 @ Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Did I not clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?

nkjv@1Samuel:2:28 @ Did I not choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?

nkjv@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?'

nkjv@1Samuel:2:30 @ Therefore the LORD God of Israel says: "I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever.' But now the LORD says: "Far be it from Me; for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:33 @ But any of your men whom I do not cut off from My altar shall consume your eyes and grieve your heart. And all the descendants of your house shall die in the flower of their age.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:34 @ Now this shall be a sign to you that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

nkjv@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and say, "Please, put me in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a piece of bread.""'

nkjv@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

nkjv@1Samuel:3:5 @ So he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." And he said, "I did not call; lie down again." And he went and lay down.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:6 @ Then the LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." He answered, "I did not call, my son; lie down again."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:8 @ And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you did call me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD had called the boy.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:10 @ Now the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for Your servant hears."

nkjv@1Samuel:3:11 @ Then the LORD said to Samuel: "Behold, I will do something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

nkjv@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, "What is the word that the LORD spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to battle against the Philistines, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:2 @ Then the Philistines put themselves in battle array against Israel. And when they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, "Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:5 @ And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:6 @ Now when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:7 @ So the Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp!" And they said, "Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:9 @ Be strong and conduct yourselves like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Conduct yourselves like men, and fight!"

nkjv@1Samuel:4:12 @ Then a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line the same day, and came to Shiloh with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:13 @ Now when he came, there was Eli, sitting on a seat by the wayside watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and told it, all the city cried out.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:14 @ When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What does the sound of this tumult mean?" And the man came quickly and told Eli.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:16 @ Then the man said to Eli, "I am he who came from the battle. And I fled today from the battle line." And he said, "What happened, my son?"

nkjv@1Samuel:4:17 @ So the messenger answered and said, "Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead; and the ark of God has been captured."

nkjv@1Samuel:4:18 @ Then it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:19 @ Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was captured, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:20 @ And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, "Do not fear, for you have borne a son." But she did not answer, nor did she regard it.

nkjv@1Samuel:4:21 @ Then she named the child Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel!" because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon's house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh toward us and Dagon our god."

nkjv@1Samuel:5:9 @ So it was, after they had carried it away, that the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction; and He struck the men of the city, both small and great, and tumors broke out on them.

nkjv@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!"

nkjv@1Samuel:5:12 @ And the men who did not die were stricken with the tumors, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:3 @ So they said, "If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but by all means return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:4 @ Then they said, "What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him?" They answered, "Five golden tumors and five golden rats, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines. For the same plague was on all of you and on your lords.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:7 @ Now therefore, make a new cart, take two milk cows which have never been yoked, and hitch the cows to the cart; and take their calves home, away from them.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:9 @ And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us--it happened to us by chance."

nkjv@1Samuel:6:10 @ Then the men did so; they took two milk cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:12 @ Then the cows headed straight for the road to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:13 @ Now the people of Beth Shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley; and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:14 @ Then the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and stood there; a large stone was there. So they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:15 @ The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the chest that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone. Then the men of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices the same day to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:16 @ So when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden rats, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both fortified cities and country villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of the LORD, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:19 @ Then He struck the men of Beth Shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck fifty thousand and seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

nkjv@1Samuel:6:20 @ And the men of Beth Shemesh said, "Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? And to whom shall it go up from us?"

nkjv@1Samuel:6:21 @ So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:1 @ Then the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:2 @ So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim a long time; it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:10 @ Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:12 @ Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nkjv@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nkjv@1Samuel:7:17 @ But he always returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:1 @ Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:4 @ Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,

nkjv@1Samuel:8:7 @ And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day--with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, "This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:12 @ He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:13 @ He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:16 @ And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work.

nkjv@1Samuel:8:22 @ So the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed their voice, and make them a king." And Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Every man go to his city."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:1 @ There was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:2 @ And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the children of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:5 @ When they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, let us return, lest my father cease caring about the donkeys and become worried about us."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him, "Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: "Come, let us go to the seer"; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

nkjv@1Samuel:9:10 @ Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:11 @ As they went up the hill to the city, they met some young women going out to draw water, and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, "Yes, there he is, just ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he came to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today on the high place.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:13 @ As soon as you come into the city, you will surely find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. For the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up, for about this time you will find him."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:15 @ Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying,

nkjv@1Samuel:9:16 @ "Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nkjv@1Samuel:9:18 @ Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, "Please tell me, where is the seer's house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:19 @ Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will let you go and will tell you all that is in your heart.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, "Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?"

nkjv@1Samuel:9:24 @ So the cook took up the thigh with its upper part and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here it is, what was kept back. It was set apart for you. Eat; for until this time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:9:25 @ When they had come down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the top of the house.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:2 @ When you have departed from me today, you will find two men by Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, "The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. And now your father has ceased caring about the donkeys and is worrying about you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:10:3 @ Then you shall go on forward from there and come to the terebinth tree of Tabor. There three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a stringed instrument, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:6 @ Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:8 @ You shall go down before me to Gilgal; and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and make sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait, till I come to you and show you what you should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:9 @ So it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God gave him another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:10 @ When they came there to the hill, there was a group of prophets to meet him; then the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that he indeed prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:12 @ Then a man from there answered and said, "But who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb: "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nkjv@1Samuel:10:15 @ And Saul's uncle said, "Tell me, please, what Samuel said to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:20 @ And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:21 @ When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was chosen. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:22 @ Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, "Has the man come here yet?" And the LORD answered, "There he is, hidden among the equipment."

nkjv@1Samuel:10:26 @ And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and valiant men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

nkjv@1Samuel:10:27 @ But some rebels said, "How can this man save us?" So they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:1 @ Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:3 @ Then the elders of Jabesh said to him, "Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:4 @ So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:5 @ Now there was Saul, coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, "What troubles the people, that they weep?" And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:6 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:7 @ So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:8 @ When he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:9 @ And they said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: "Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help."' Then the messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:10 @ Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:11 @ So it was, on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and killed Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it happened that those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nkjv@1Samuel:11:12 @ Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, "Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:14 @ Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."

nkjv@1Samuel:11:15 @ So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:1 @ Now Samuel said to all Israel: "Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:3 @ Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:12:12 @ And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, "No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:14 @ If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then both you and the king who reigns over you will continue following the LORD your God.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:15 @ However, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then the hand of the LORD will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

nkjv@1Samuel:12:22 @ For the LORD will not forsake His people, for His great name's sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you His people.

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

nkjv@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:4 @ Now all Israel heard it said that Saul had attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become an abomination to the Philistines. And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:5 @ Then the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:6 @ When the men of Israel saw that they were in danger (for the people were distressed), then the people hid in caves, in thickets, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:7 @ And some of the Hebrews crossed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:8 @ Then he waited seven days, according to the time set by Samuel. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:9 @ So Saul said, "Bring a burnt offering and peace offerings here to me." And he offered the burnt offering.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:10 @ Now it happened, as soon as he had finished presenting the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "When I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,

nkjv@1Samuel:13:12 @ then I said, "The Philistines will now come down on me at Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the LORD.' Therefore I felt compelled, and offered a burnt offering."

nkjv@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:15 @ Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, about six hundred men.

nkjv@1Samuel:13:17 @ Then raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned onto the road to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

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

nkjv@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul was sitting in the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:4 @ Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on one side and a sharp rock on the other side. And the name of one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:6 @ Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, "Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the LORD will work for us. For nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:8 @ Then Jonathan said, "Very well, let us cross over to these men, and we will show ourselves to them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:9 @ If they say thus to us, "Wait until we come to you,' then we will stand still in our place and not go up to them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, "Come up to us,' then we will go up. For the LORD has delivered them into our hand, and this will be a sign to us."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:12 @ Then the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, "Come up to us, and we will show you something." Jonathan said to his armorbearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and knees with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And as he came after him, his armorbearer killed them.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:14 @ That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within about half an acre of land.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:16 @ Now the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude, melting away; and they went here and there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, "Bring the ark of God here" (for at that time the ark of God was with the children of Israel).

nkjv@1Samuel:14:21 @ Moreover the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from the surrounding country, they also joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:22 @ Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden in the mountains of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, they also followed hard after them in the battle.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, "Cursed is the man who eats any food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:25 @ Now all the people of the land came to a forest; and there was honey on the ground.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the woods, there was the honey, dripping; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:33 @ Then they told Saul, saying, "Look, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood!" So he said, "You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:14:34 @ Then Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, "Bring me here every man's ox and every man's sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood."' So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, "Come over here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:42 @ And Saul said, "Cast lots between my son Jonathan and me." So Jonathan was taken.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:43 @ Then Saul said to Jonathan, "Tell me what you have done." And Jonathan told him, and said, "I only tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. So now I must die!"

nkjv@1Samuel:14:49 @ The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Jishui, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

nkjv@1Samuel:14:50 @ The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:4 @ So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:5 @ And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:6 @ Then Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:10 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,

nkjv@1Samuel:15:11 @ "I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments." And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the LORD all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:12 @ So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:13 @ Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed are you of the LORD! I have performed the commandment of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:16 @ Then Samuel said to Saul, "Be quiet! And I will tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him, "Speak on."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:18 @ Now the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, "Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are consumed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and gone on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:24 @ Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice.

nkjv@1Samuel:15:25 @ Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:30 @ Then he said, "I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:32 @ Then Samuel said, "Bring Agag king of the Amalekites here to me." So Agag came to him cautiously. And Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

nkjv@1Samuel:15:33 @ But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hacked Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:2 @ And Samuel said, "How can I go? If Saul hears it, he will kill me." But the LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, "I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

nkjv@1Samuel:16:3 @ Then invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; you shall anoint for Me the one I name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:4 @ So Samuel did what the LORD said, and went to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, "Do you come peaceably?"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, "Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice." Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:6 @ So it was, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and said, "Surely the LORD's anointed is before Him!"

nkjv@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are all the young men here?" Then he said, "There remains yet the youngest, and there he is, keeping the sheep." And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:13 @ Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:17 @ So Saul said to his servants, "Provide me now a man who can play well, and bring him to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:18 @ Then one of the servants answered and said, "Look, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is skillful in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and the LORD is with him."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, "Send me your son David, who is with the sheep."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:21 @ So David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

nkjv@1Samuel:16:22 @ Then Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Please let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nkjv@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David would take a harp and play it with his hand. Then Saul would become refreshed and well, and the distressing spirit would depart from him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:2 @ And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:4 @ And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:5 @ He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:8 @ Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, "Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:9 @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:10 @ And the Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:12 @ Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three oldest sons of Jesse had gone to follow Saul to the battle. The names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:19 @ Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:20 @ So David rose early in the morning, left the sheep with a keeper, and took the things and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp as the army was going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:22 @ And David left his supplies in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:23 @ Then as he talked with them, there was the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, coming up from the armies of the Philistines; and he spoke according to the same words. So David heard them.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:24 @ And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were dreadfully afraid.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:25 @ So the men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel; and it shall be that the man who kills him the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and give his father's house exemption from taxes in Israel."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:26 @ Then David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, "What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger was aroused against David, and he said, "Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle."

nkjv@1Samuel:17:30 @ Then he turned from him toward another and said the same thing; and these people answered him as the first ones did.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:34 @ But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep his father's sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,

nkjv@1Samuel:17:35 @ I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:37 @ Moreover David said, "The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:38 @ So Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:41 @ So the Philistine came, and began drawing near to David, and the man who bore the shield went before him.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:43 @ So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:44 @ And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!"

nkjv@1Samuel:17:45 @ Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:48 @ So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

nkjv@1Samuel:17:52 @ Now the men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:2 @ Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father's house anymore.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:5 @ So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:6 @ Now it had happened as they were coming home, when David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with musical instruments.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:7 @ So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:8 @ Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:10 @ And it happened on the next day that the distressing spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; but there was a spear in Saul's hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:13 @ Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:16 @ But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:17 @ Then Saul said to David, "Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul thought, "Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:19 @ But it happened at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:21 @ So Saul said, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David a second time, "You shall be my son-in-law today."

nkjv@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, "Communicate with David secretly, and say, "Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king's son-in-law."'

nkjv@1Samuel:18:23 @ So Saul's servants spoke those words in the hearing of David. And David said, "Does it seem to you a light thing to be a king's son-in-law, seeing I am a poor and lightly esteemed man?"

nkjv@1Samuel:18:26 @ So when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to become the king's son-in-law. Now the days had not expired;

nkjv@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:29 @ and Saul was still more afraid of David. So Saul became David's enemy continually.

nkjv@1Samuel:18:30 @ Then the princes of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:7 @ Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. So Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as in times past.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:9 @ Now the distressing spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:11 @ Saul also sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:14 @ So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:15 @ Then Saul sent the messengers back to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:16 @ And when the messengers had come in, there was the image in the bed, with a cover of goats' hair for his head.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:17 @ Then Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, "Let me go! Why should I kill you?"'

nkjv@1Samuel:19:20 @ Then Saul sent messengers to take David. And when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as leader over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:21 @ And when Saul was told, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.

nkjv@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. So he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Indeed they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nkjv@1Samuel:19:23 @ So he went there to Naioth in Ramah. Then the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on and prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:2 @ So Jonathan said to him, "By no means! You shall not die! Indeed, my father will do nothing either great or small without first telling me. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:3 @ Then David took an oath again, and said, "Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, "Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said to Jonathan, "Indeed tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third day at evening.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father misses me at all, then say, "David earnestly asked permission of me that he might run over to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.'

nkjv@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. Nevertheless, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:9 @ But Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I knew certainly that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:10 @ Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me, or what if your father answers you roughly?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:11 @ And Jonathan said to David, "Come, let us go out into the field." So both of them went out into the field.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:12 @ Then Jonathan said to David: "The LORD God of Israel is witness! When I have sounded out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and indeed there is good toward David, and I do not send to you and tell you,

nkjv@1Samuel:20:14 @ And you shall not only show me the kindness of the LORD while I still live, that I may not die;

nkjv@1Samuel:20:19 @ And when you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid on the day of the deed; and remain by the stone Ezel.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, "Go, find the arrows.' If I expressly say to the lad, "Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come'--then, as the LORD lives, there is safety for you and no harm.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, indeed the LORD be between you and me forever."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:24 @ Then David hid in the field. And when the New Moon had come, the king sat down to eat the feast.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:25 @ Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, but David's place was empty.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to him; he is unclean, surely he is unclean."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David's place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to eat, either yesterday or today?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:28 @ So Jonathan answered Saul, "David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:29 @ And he said, "Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. And now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me get away and see my brothers.' Therefore he has not come to the king's table."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:30 @ Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nkjv@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

nkjv@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:35 @ And so it was, in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad was with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:37 @ When the lad had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried out after the lad and said, "Is not the arrow beyond you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan cried out after the lad, "Make haste, hurry, do not delay!" So Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:41 @ As soon as the lad had gone, David arose from a place toward the south, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

nkjv@1Samuel:20:42 @ Then Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD, saying, "May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants, forever."' So he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:1 @ Now David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and said to him, "Why are you alone, and no one is with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ So David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, "Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.' And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:3 @ Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David and said, "There is no common bread on hand; but there is holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ Then David answered the priest, and said to him, "Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

nkjv@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, "Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:9 @ So the priest said, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, there it is, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:21:14 @ Then Achish said to his servants, "Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me?

nkjv@1Samuel:21:15 @ Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:2 @ And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:3 @ Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:4 @ So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:6 @ When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered--now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him--

nkjv@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:9 @ Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, "I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:11 @ So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:13 @ Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:14 @ So Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?

nkjv@1Samuel:22:15 @ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much."

nkjv@1Samuel:22:16 @ And the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house!"

nkjv@1Samuel:22:17 @ Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me." But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the LORD.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:18 @ And the king said to Doeg, "You turn and kill the priests!" So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests, and killed on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:19 @ Also Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen and donkeys and sheep--with the edge of the sword.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:20 @ Now one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.

nkjv@1Samuel:22:23 @ Stay with me; do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:3 @ But David's men said to him, "Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?"

nkjv@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:6 @ Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:8 @ Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:12 @ Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, "They will deliver you."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:13 @ So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:15 @ So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nkjv@1Samuel:23:20 @ Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:21 @ And Saul said, "Blessed are you of the LORD, for you have compassion on me.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah."

nkjv@1Samuel:23:24 @ So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:25 @ When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:26 @ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.

nkjv@1Samuel:23:27 @ But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!"

nkjv@1Samuel:24:2 @ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:3 @ So he came to the sheepfolds by the road, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to attend to his needs. (David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.)

nkjv@1Samuel:24:4 @ Then the men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the LORD said to you, "Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it seems good to you."' And David arose and secretly cut off a corner of Saul's robe.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, "The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:9 @ And David said to Saul: "Why do you listen to the words of men who say, "Indeed David seeks your harm'?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:10 @ Look, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and someone urged me to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, "I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'

nkjv@1Samuel:24:12 @ Let the LORD judge between you and me, and let the LORD avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:14 @ After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? A dead dog? A flea?

nkjv@1Samuel:24:15 @ Therefore let the LORD be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:17 @ Then he said to David: "You are more righteous than I; for you have rewarded me with good, whereas I have rewarded you with evil.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when the LORD delivered me into your hand, you did not kill me.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him get away safely? Therefore may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

nkjv@1Samuel:24:21 @ Therefore swear now to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name from my father's house."

nkjv@1Samuel:24:22 @ So David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:1 @ Then Samuel died; and the Israelites gathered together and lamented for him, and buried him at his home in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:2 @ Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:3 @ The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:5 @ David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:7 @ Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:8 @ Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David."'

nkjv@1Samuel:25:9 @ So when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:11 @ Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:12 @ So David's young men turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him all these words.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:13 @ Then David said to his men, "Every man gird on his sword." So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:14 @ Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:15 @ But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:16 @ They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:19 @ And she said to her servants, "Go on before me; see, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:20 @ So it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and there were David and his men, coming down toward her, and she met them.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:24 @ So she fell at his feet and said: "On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord regard this scoundrel Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him! But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this present which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

nkjv@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:32 @ Then David said to Abigail: "Blessed is the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

nkjv@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!"

nkjv@1Samuel:25:36 @ Now Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was, holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; therefore she told him nothing, little or much, until morning light.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:37 @ So it was, in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

nkjv@1Samuel:25:40 @ When the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her saying, "David sent us to you, to ask you to become his wife."

nkjv@1Samuel:25:42 @ So Abigail rose in haste and rode on a donkey, attended by five of her maidens; and she followed the messengers of David, and became his wife.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:1 @ Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, opposite Jeshimon?"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:2 @ Then Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is opposite Jeshimon, by the road. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:4 @ David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul had indeed come.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:5 @ So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, "God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him at once with the spear, right to the earth; and I will not have to strike him a second time!"

nkjv@1Samuel:26:10 @ David said furthermore, "As the LORD lives, the LORD shall strike him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go out to battle and perish.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:15 @ So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, "Go, serve other gods.'

nkjv@1Samuel:26:20 @ So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

nkjv@1Samuel:26:22 @ And David answered and said, "Here is the king's spear. Let one of the young men come over and get it.

nkjv@1Samuel:26:24 @ And indeed, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of the LORD, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:2 @ Then David arose and went over with the six hundred men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:3 @ So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:5 @ Then David said to Achish, "If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?"

nkjv@1Samuel:27:7 @ Now the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from of old, as you go to Shur, even as far as the land of Egypt.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:9 @ Whenever David attacked the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the apparel, and returned and came to Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:27:10 @ Then Achish would say, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David would say, "Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites."

nkjv@1Samuel:27:11 @ David would save neither man nor woman alive, to bring news to Gath, saying, "Lest they should inform on us, saying, "Thus David did."' And thus was his behavior all the time he dwelt in the country of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:4 @ Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:7 @ Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:8 @ So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:9 @ Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:11 @ Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:12 @ When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

nkjv@1Samuel:28:15 @ Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:16 @ Then Samuel said: "So why do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy?

nkjv@1Samuel:28:17 @ And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:19 @ Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."

nkjv@1Samuel:28:20 @ Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:21 @ And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was severely troubled, and said to him, "Look, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my hands and heeded the words which you spoke to me.

nkjv@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, please, heed also the voice of your maidservant, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:2 @ And the lords of the Philistines passed in review by hundreds and by thousands, but David and his men passed in review at the rear with Achish.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:3 @ Then the princes of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?" And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, "Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, or these years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him; so the princes of the Philistines said to him, "Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he reconcile himself to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

nkjv@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish called David and said to him, "Surely, as the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my sight. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless the lords do not favor you.

nkjv@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master's servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:1 @ Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire,

nkjv@1Samuel:30:2 @ and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:3 @ So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:5 @ And David's two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:7 @ Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, "Please bring the ephod here to me." And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:9 @ So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:10 @ But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:12 @ And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:13 @ Then David said to him, "To whom do you belong, and where are you from?" And he said, "I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because three days ago I fell sick.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, "Can you take me down to this troop?" So he said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this troop."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:17 @ Then David attacked them from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:21 @ Now David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow David, whom they also had made to stay at the Brook Besor. So they went out to meet David and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near the people, he greeted them.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:22 @ Then all the wicked and worthless men of those who went with David answered and said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we have recovered, except for every man's wife and children, that they may lead them away and depart."

nkjv@1Samuel:30:23 @ But David said, "My brethren, you shall not do so with what the LORD has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us.

nkjv@1Samuel:30:26 @ Now when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "Here is a present for you from the spoil of the enemies of the LORD"--

nkjv@1Samuel:30:29 @ those who were in Rachal, those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, those who were in the cities of the Kenites,

nkjv@1Samuel:30:31 @ those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to rove.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:1 @ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:3 @ The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:4 @ Then Saul said to his armorbearer, "Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me." But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:6 @ So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:7 @ And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:8 @ So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

nkjv@1Samuel:31:12 @ all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,

nkjv@2Samuel:1:2 @ on the third day, behold, it happened that a man came from Saul's camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:3 @ And David said to him, "Where have you come from?" So he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:4 @ Then David said to him, "How did the matter go? Please tell me." And he answered, "The people have fled from the battle, many of the people are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

nkjv@2Samuel:1:6 @ Then the young man who told him said, "As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, there was Saul, leaning on his spear; and indeed the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:7 @ Now when he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I answered, "Here I am.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:8 @ And he said to me, "Who are you?' So I answered him, "I am an Amalekite.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:9 @ He said to me again, "Please stand over me and kill me, for anguish has come upon me, but my life still remains in me.'

nkjv@2Samuel:1:11 @ Therefore David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and so did all the men who were with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:15 @ Then David called one of the young men and said, "Go near, and execute him!" And he struck him so that he died.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:17 @ Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

nkjv@2Samuel:1:24 @ "O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, Who clothed you in scarlet, with luxury; Who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

nkjv@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me; Your love to me was wonderful, Surpassing the love of women.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:2 @ So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:3 @ And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:4 @ Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, "The men of Jabesh Gilead were the ones who buried Saul."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:5 @ So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "You are blessed of the LORD, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:7 @ Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:11 @ And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:13 @ And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. So they sat down, one on one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:14 @ Then Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." And Joab said, "Let them arise."

nkjv@2Samuel:2:17 @ So there was a very fierce battle that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:22 @ So Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?"

nkjv@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:24 @ Joab and Abishai also pursued Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the road to the Wilderness of Gibeon.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:25 @ Now the children of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became a unit, and took their stand on top of a hill.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:29 @ Then Abner and his men went on all that night through the plain, crossed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron; and they came to Mahanaim.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:30 @ So Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:31 @ But the servants of David had struck down, of Benjamin and Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men who died.

nkjv@2Samuel:2:32 @ Then they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:13 @ And David said, "Good, I will make a covenant with you. But one thing I require of you: you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:14 @ So David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:17 @ Now Abner had communicated with the elders of Israel, saying, "In time past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:20 @ So Abner and twenty men with him came to David at Hebron. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:22 @ At that moment the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:3:23 @ When Joab and all the troops that were with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace."

nkjv@2Samuel:3:24 @ Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has already gone?

nkjv@2Samuel:3:25 @ Surely you realize that Abner the son of Ner came to deceive you, to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing."

nkjv@2Samuel:5:3 @ Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:6 @ And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, "You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you," thinking, "David cannot come in here."

nkjv@2Samuel:5:8 @ Now David said on that day, "Whoever climbs up by way of the water shaft and defeats the Jebusites (the lame and the blind, who are hated by David's soul), he shall be chief and captain." Therefore they say, "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house."

nkjv@2Samuel:5:10 @ So David went on and became great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:11 @ Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters and masons. And they built David a house.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:13 @ And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron. Also more sons and daughters were born to David.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:20 @ So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:21 @ And they left their images there, and David and his men carried them away.

nkjv@2Samuel:5:23 @ Therefore David inquired of the LORD, and He said, "You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:5 @ Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the LORD on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:6 @ And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:18 @ And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:19 @ Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.

nkjv@2Samuel:6:20 @ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!"

nkjv@2Samuel:7:26 @ So let Your name be magnified forever, saying, "The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:1 @ After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines and subdued them. And David took Metheg Ammah from the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:2 @ Then he defeated Moab. Forcing them down to the ground, he measured them off with a line. With two lines he measured off those to be put to death, and with one full line those to be kept alive. So the Moabites became David's servants, and brought tribute.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:4 @ David took from him one thousand chariots, seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:5 @ When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:13 @ And David made himself a name when he returned from killing eighteen thousand Syrians in the Valley of Salt.

nkjv@2Samuel:8:14 @ He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:4 @ Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:5 @ When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@2Samuel:10:6 @ When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of Maacah one thousand men, and from Ish-Tob twelve thousand men.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:7 @ Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:8 @ Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And the Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:17 @ When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:10:18 @ Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:1 @ It happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:3 @ So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"

nkjv@2Samuel:11:4 @ Then David sent messengers, and took her; and she came to him, and he lay with her, for she was cleansed from her impurity; and she returned to her house.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:6 @ Then David sent to Joab, saying, "Send me Uriah the Hittite." And Joab sent Uriah to David.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:7 @ When Uriah had come to him, David asked how Joab was doing, and how the people were doing, and how the war prospered.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:10 @ So when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Did you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

nkjv@2Samuel:11:16 @ So it was, while Joab besieged the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew there were valiant men.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:17 @ Then the men of the city came out and fought with Joab. And some of the people of the servants of David fell; and Uriah the Hittite died also.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:22 @ So the messenger went, and came and told David all that Joab had sent by him.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:23 @ And the messenger said to David, "Surely the men prevailed against us and came out to us in the field; then we drove them back as far as the entrance of the gate.

nkjv@2Samuel:11:24 @ The archers shot from the wall at your servants; and some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also."

nkjv@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when her mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:1 @ Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him: "There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:4 @ And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:10 @ Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.'

nkjv@2Samuel:12:14 @ However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you shall surely die."

nkjv@2Samuel:12:15 @ Then Nathan departed to his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it became ill.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:18 @ Then on the seventh day it came to pass that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:12:24 @ Then David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. So she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now the LORD loved him,

nkjv@2Samuel:12:25 @ and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:1 @ After this Absalom the son of David had a lovely sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:2 @ Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin. And it was improper for Amnon to do anything to her.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he called his servant who attended him, and said, "Here! Put this woman out, away from me, and bolt the door behind her."

nkjv@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; so Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, "Absalom has killed all the king's sons, and not one of them is left!"

nkjv@2Samuel:13:31 @ So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:32 @ Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David's brother, answered and said, "Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king's sons, for only Amnon is dead. For by the command of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.

nkjv@2Samuel:13:36 @ So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that the king's sons indeed came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning a long time for the dead.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, "Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him for the life of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also.'

nkjv@2Samuel:14:13 @ So the woman said: "Why then have you schemed such a thing against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:14 @ For we will surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises means, so that His banished ones are not expelled from Him.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:27 @ To Absalom were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:29 @ Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. And when he sent again the second time, he would not come.

nkjv@2Samuel:14:31 @ Then Joab arose and came to Absalom's house, and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"

nkjv@2Samuel:14:32 @ And Absalom answered Joab, "Look, I sent to you, saying, "Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face; but if there is iniquity in me, let him execute me."

nkjv@2Samuel:14:33 @ So Joab went to the king and told him. And when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. Then the king kissed Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:2 @ Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, "What city are you from?" And he would say, "Your servant is from such and such a tribe of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:4 @ Moreover Absalom would say, "Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justice."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:5 @ And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:6 @ In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:7 @ Now it came to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:8 @ For your servant took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, "If the LORD indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD."'

nkjv@2Samuel:15:11 @ And with Absalom went two hundred men invited from Jerusalem, and they went along innocently and did not know anything.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:13 @ Now a messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:16 @ Then the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:18 @ Then all his servants passed before him; and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed before the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:20 @ In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:22 @ So David said to Ittai, "Go, and cross over." Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:25 @ Then the king said to Zadok, "Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:26 @ But if He says thus: "I have no delight in you,' here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:28 @ See, I will wait in the plains of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:31 @ Then someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!"

nkjv@2Samuel:15:32 @ Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God--there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:33 @ David said to him, "If you go on with me, then you will become a burden to me.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:34 @ But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, "I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father's servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,' then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nkjv@2Samuel:15:36 @ Indeed they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send me everything you hear."

nkjv@2Samuel:15:37 @ So Hushai, David's friend, went into the city. And Absalom came into Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:1 @ When David was a little past the top of the mountain, there was Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth, who met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:2 @ And the king said to Ziba, "What do you mean to do with these?" So Ziba said, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who are faint in the wilderness to drink."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:3 @ Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Indeed he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, "Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me."'

nkjv@2Samuel:16:4 @ So the king said to Ziba, "Here, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours." And Ziba said, "I humbly bow before you, that I may find favor in your sight, my lord, O king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:5 @ Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:6 @ And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:7 @ Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: "Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue!

nkjv@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:12 @ It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day."

nkjv@2Samuel:16:13 @ And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:14 @ Now the king and all the people who were with him became weary; so they refreshed themselves there.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:15 @ Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel was with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:16:16 @ And so it was, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king! Long live the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel choose, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:1 @ Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:2 @ I will come upon him while he is weary and weak, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:6 @ And when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spoke to him, saying, "Ahithophel has spoken in this manner. Shall we do as he says? If not, speak up."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:7 @ So Hushai said to Absalom: "The advice that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:8 @ For," said Hushai, "you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are enraged in their minds, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not camp with the people.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:9 @ Surely by now he is hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will be, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whoever hears it will say, "There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

nkjv@2Samuel:17:10 @ And even he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will melt completely. For all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:12 @ So we will come upon him in some place where he may be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground. And of him and all the men who are with him there shall not be left so much as one.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:14 @ So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than the advice of Ahithophel." For the LORD had purposed to defeat the good advice of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring disaster on Absalom.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:17 @ Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed at En Rogel, for they dared not be seen coming into the city; so a female servant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:18 @ Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man's house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:20 @ And when Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" So the woman said to them, "They have gone over the water brook." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:21 @ Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and told King David, and said to David, "Arise and cross over the water quickly. For thus has Ahithophel advised against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:17:23 @ Now when Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city. Then he put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father's tomb.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:24 @ Then David went to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:25 @ And Absalom made Amasa captain of the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nkjv@2Samuel:17:27 @ Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nkjv@2Samuel:18:9 @ Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:13 @ Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own life. For there is nothing hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:15 @ And ten young men who bore Joab's armor surrounded Absalom, and struck and killed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King's Valley. For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:22 @ And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:23 @ "But whatever happens," he said, "let me run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:25 @ Then the watchman cried out and told the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there is news in his mouth." And he came rapidly and drew near.

nkjv@2Samuel:18:27 @ So the watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with good news."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:28 @ So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

nkjv@2Samuel:18:29 @ The king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about."

nkjv@2Samuel:18:31 @ Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "There is good news, my lord the king! For the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:3 @ And the people stole back into the city that day, as people who are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:5 @ Then Joab came into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have disgraced all your servants who today have saved your life, the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives and the lives of your concubines,

nkjv@2Samuel:19:8 @ Then the king arose and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, "There is the king, sitting in the gate." So all the people came before the king. For everyone of Israel had fled to his tent.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, "Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:13 @ And say to Amasa, "Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab."'

nkjv@2Samuel:19:14 @ So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: "Return, you and all your servants!"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:15 @ Then the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:16 @ And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:17 @ There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over the Jordan before the king.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:18 @ Then a ferryboat went across to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. Now Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had crossed the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:19 @ Then he said to the king, "Do not let my lord impute iniquity to me, or remember what wrong your servant did on the day that my lord the king left Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:20 @ For I, your servant, know that I have sinned. Therefore here I am, the first to come today of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:21 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, "Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:22 @ And David said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:23 @ Therefore the king said to Shimei, "You shall not die." And the king swore to him.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:24 @ Now Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. And he had not cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:25 @ So it was, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:26 @ And he answered, "My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, "I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king,' because your servant is lame.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:28 @ For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king. Yet you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. Therefore what right have I still to cry out anymore to the king?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:30 @ Then Mephibosheth said to the king, "Rather, let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:31 @ And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and went across the Jordan with the king, to escort him across the Jordan.

nkjv@2Samuel:19:33 @ And the king said to Barzillai, "Come across with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:36 @ Your servant will go a little way across the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me with such a reward?

nkjv@2Samuel:19:38 @ And the king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good to you. Now whatever you request of me, I will do for you."

nkjv@2Samuel:19:41 @ Just then all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David's men with him across the Jordan?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative of ours. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king's expense? Or has he given us any gift?"

nkjv@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king; therefore we also have more right to David than you. Why then do you despise us--were we not the first to advise bringing back our king?" Yet the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:1 @ And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: "We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:2 @ So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king.

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

nkjv@2Samuel:20:4 @ And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:5 @ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:7 @ So Joab's men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:8 @ When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:11 @ Meanwhile one of Joab's men stood near Amasa, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David--follow Joab!"

nkjv@2Samuel:20:12 @ But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:15 @ Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then a wise woman cried out from the city, "Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, "Come nearby, that I may speak with you."'

nkjv@2Samuel:20:17 @ When he had come near to her, the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your maidservant." And he answered, "I am listening."

nkjv@2Samuel:20:18 @ So she spoke, saying, "They used to talk in former times, saying, "They shall surely seek guidance at Abel,' and so they would end disputes.

nkjv@2Samuel:20:20 @ And Joab answered and said, "Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy!

nkjv@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:3 @ Therefore David said to the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"

nkjv@2Samuel:21:5 @ Then they answered the king, "As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel,

nkjv@2Samuel:21:6 @ let seven men of his descendants be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD chose." And the king said, "I will give them."

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

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

nkjv@2Samuel:21:12 @ Then David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of Jabesh Gilead who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them up, after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:14 @ They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God heeded the prayer for the land.

nkjv@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, "You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."

nkjv@2Samuel:21:21 @ So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:13 @ Then three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam. And the troop of Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:15 @ And David said with longing, "Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"

nkjv@2Samuel:23:16 @ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:17 @ And he said, "Far be it from me, O LORD, that I should do this! Is this not the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?" Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:18 @ Now Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:19 @ Was he not the most honored of three? Therefore he became their captain. However, he did not attain to the first three.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:22 @ These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and won a name among three mighty men.

nkjv@2Samuel:23:27 @ Abiezer the Anathothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,

nkjv@2Samuel:23:35 @ Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,

nkjv@2Samuel:24:3 @ And Joab said to the king, "Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?"

nkjv@2Samuel:24:6 @ Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim Hodshi; they came to Dan Jaan and around to Sidon;

nkjv@2Samuel:24:7 @ and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and the Canaanites. Then they went out to South Judah as far as Beersheba.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:8 @ So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:9 @ Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:11 @ Now when David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

nkjv@2Samuel:24:13 @ So Gad came to David and told him; and he said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or shall you flee three months before your enemies, while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' plague in your land? Now consider and see what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:14 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let us fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:15 @ So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beersheba seventy thousand men of the people died.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:17 @ Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and said, "Surely I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house."

nkjv@2Samuel:24:18 @ And Gad came that day to David and said to him, "Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

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

nkjv@2Samuel:24:22 @ Now Araunah said to David, "Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever seems good to him. Look, here are oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.

nkjv@2Samuel:24:24 @ Then the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God with that which costs me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:6 @ (And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying, "Why have you done so?" He was also very good-looking. His mother had borne him after Absalom.)

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:9 @ And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En Rogel; he also invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.

nkjv@1Kings:1:10 @ But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon his brother.

nkjv@1Kings:1:11 @ So Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, "Have you not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith has become king, and David our lord does not know it?

nkjv@1Kings:1:12 @ Come, please, let me now give you advice, that you may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.

nkjv@1Kings:1:13 @ Go immediately to King David and say to him, "Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, "Assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne"? Why then has Adonijah become king?'

nkjv@1Kings:1:14 @ Then, while you are still talking there with the king, I also will come in after you and confirm your words."

nkjv@1Kings:1:17 @ Then she said to him, "My lord, you swore by the LORD your God to your maidservant, saying, "Assuredly Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.'

nkjv@1Kings:1:18 @ So now, look! Adonijah has become king; and now, my lord the king, you do not know about it.

nkjv@1Kings:1:22 @ And just then, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.

nkjv@1Kings:1:23 @ So they told the king, saying, "Here is Nathan the prophet." And when he came in before the king, he bowed down before the king with his face to the ground.

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:26 @ But he has not invited me--me your servant--nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon.

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:29 @ And the king took an oath and said, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress,

nkjv@1Kings:1:30 @ just as I swore to you by the LORD God of Israel, saying, "Assuredly Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place,' so I certainly will do this day."

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:35 @ Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah."

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

nkjv@1Kings:1:40 @ And all the people went up after him; and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth seemed to split with their sound.

nkjv@1Kings:1:42 @ While he was still speaking, there came Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest. And Adonijah said to him, "Come in, for you are a prominent man, and bring good news."

nkjv@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king's servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, "May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne.' Then the king bowed himself on the bed.

nkjv@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was told Solomon, saying, "Indeed Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon; for look, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, "Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put his servant to death with the sword."'

nkjv@1Kings:1:53 @ So King Solomon sent them to bring him down from the altar. And he came and fell down before King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, "Go to your house."

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:2:14 @ Moreover he said, "I have something to say to you." And she said, "Say it."

nkjv@1Kings:2:15 @ Then he said, "You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their expectations on me, that I should reign. However, the kingdom has been turned over, and has become my brother's; for it was his from the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:2:17 @ Then he said, "Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not refuse you, that he may give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife."

nkjv@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 down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king's mother; so she sat at his right hand.

nkjv@1Kings:2:20 @ Then she said, "I desire one small petition of you; do not refuse me." And the king said to her, "Ask it, my mother, for I will not refuse you."

nkjv@1Kings:2:23 @ Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, "May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life!

nkjv@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as the LORD lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today!"

nkjv@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, "Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are deserving of death; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord GOD before my father David, and because you were afflicted every time my father was afflicted."

nkjv@1Kings:2:28 @ Then news came to Joab, for Joab had defected to Adonijah, though he had not defected to Absalom. So Joab fled to the tabernacle of the LORD, and took hold of the horns of the altar.

nkjv@1Kings:2:30 @ So Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said to him, "Thus says the king, "Come out!"' And he said, "No, but I will die here." And Benaiah brought back word to the king, saying, "Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me."

nkjv@1Kings:2:31 @ Then the king said to him, "Do as he has said, and strike him down and bury him, that you may take away from me and from the house of my father the innocent blood which Joab shed.

nkjv@1Kings:2:32 @ So the LORD will return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword--Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah--though my father David did not know it.

nkjv@1Kings:2:36 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

nkjv@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

nkjv@1Kings:2:39 @ Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Look, your slaves are in Gath!"

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

nkjv@1Kings:2:41 @ And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back.

nkjv@1Kings:2:42 @ Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and warn you, saying, "Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, "The word I have heard is good.'

nkjv@1Kings:2:43 @ Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I gave you?"

nkjv@1Kings:2:44 @ The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.

nkjv@1Kings:3:2 @ Meanwhile the people sacrificed at the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the LORD until those days.

nkjv@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said: "You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.

nkjv@1Kings:3:7 @ Now, O LORD my God, You have made Your servant king instead of my father David, but I am a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in.

nkjv@1Kings:3:8 @ And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a great people, too numerous to be numbered or counted.

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:3:16 @ Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him.

nkjv@1Kings:3:17 @ And one woman said, "O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.

nkjv@1Kings:3:24 @ Then the king said, "Bring me a sword." So they brought a sword before the king.

nkjv@1Kings:3:26 @ Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, "O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!" But the other said, "Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him."

nkjv@1Kings:3:27 @ So the king answered and said, "Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother."

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

nkjv@1Kings:4:18 @ Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin;

nkjv@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.

nkjv@1Kings:4:22 @ Now Solomon's provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,

nkjv@1Kings:4:24 @ For he had dominion over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.

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

nkjv@1Kings:4:27 @ And these governors, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon's table. There was no lack in their supply.

nkjv@1Kings:4:30 @ Thus Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the men of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:5:3 @ You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the LORD put his foes under the soles of his feet.

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

nkjv@1Kings:5:5 @ And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to my father David, saying, "Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name."

nkjv@1Kings:5:9 @ My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my household.

nkjv@1Kings:6:4 @ And he made for the house windows with beveled frames.

nkjv@1Kings:6:7 @ And the temple, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or chisel or any iron tool was heard in the temple while it was being built.

nkjv@1Kings:7:5 @ And all the doorways and doorposts had rectangular frames; and window was opposite window in three tiers.

nkjv@1Kings:7:7 @ Then he made a hall for the throne, the Hall of Judgment, where he might judge; and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling.

nkjv@1Kings:7:9 @ All these were of costly stones cut to size, trimmed with saws, inside and out, from the foundation to the eaves, and also on the outside to the great court.

nkjv@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

nkjv@1Kings:7:15 @ And he cast two pillars of bronze, each one eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of each.

nkjv@1Kings:7:18 @ So he made the pillars, and two rows of pomegranates above the network all around to cover the capitals that were on top; and thus he did for the other capital.

nkjv@1Kings:7:20 @ The capitals on the two pillars also had pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the network; and there were two hundred such pomegranates in rows on each of the capitals all around.

nkjv@1Kings:7:21 @ Then he set up the pillars by the vestibule of the temple; he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.

nkjv@1Kings:7:23 @ And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

nkjv@1Kings:7:24 @ Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.

nkjv@1Kings:8:64 @ On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was in front of the house of the LORD; for there he offered burnt offerings, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to receive the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

nkjv@1Kings:8:65 @ At that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven more days--fourteen days.

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

nkjv@1Kings:9:22 @ But of the children of Israel Solomon made no forced laborers, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.

nkjv@1Kings:9:24 @ But Pharaoh's daughter came up from the City of David to her house which Solomon had built for her. Then he built the Millo.

nkjv@1Kings:9:25 @ Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built for the LORD, and he burned incense with them on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the temple.

nkjv@1Kings:9:27 @ Then Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, to work with the servants of Solomon.

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

nkjv@1Kings:10:2 @ She came to Jerusalem with a very great retinue, with camels that bore spices, very much gold, and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nkjv@1Kings:10:14 @ The weight of gold that came to Solomon yearly was six hundred and sixty-six talents of gold,

nkjv@1Kings:10:15 @ besides that from the traveling merchants, from the income of traders, from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country.

nkjv@1Kings:10:16 @ And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred shekels of gold went into each shield.

nkjv@1Kings:10:17 @ He also made three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into each shield. The king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

nkjv@1Kings:10:25 @ Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.

nkjv@1Kings:10:26 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Kings:10:28 @ Also Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king's merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price.

nkjv@1Kings:11:1 @ But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites--

nkjv@1Kings:11:9 @ So the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

nkjv@1Kings:11:18 @ Then they arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, apportioned food for him, and gave him land.

nkjv@1Kings:11:21 @ So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own country."

nkjv@1Kings:11:24 @ So he gathered men to him and became captain over a band of raiders, when David killed those of Zobah. And they went to Damascus and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.

nkjv@1Kings:11:26 @ Then Solomon's servant, Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zereda, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also rebelled against the king.

nkjv@1Kings:11:29 @ Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field.

nkjv@1Kings:11:30 @ Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces.

nkjv@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.

nkjv@1Kings:11:34 @ However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes.

nkjv@1Kings:11:36 @ And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

nkjv@1Kings:11:38 @ Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.

nkjv@1Kings:12:3 @ that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:12:4 @ "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

nkjv@1Kings:12:5 @ So he said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." And the people departed.

nkjv@1Kings:12:6 @ Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"

nkjv@1Kings:12:8 @ But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

nkjv@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, "What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, "Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nkjv@1Kings:12:10 @ Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, "Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us'--thus you shall say to them: "My little finger shall be thicker than my father's waist!

nkjv@1Kings:12:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day."

nkjv@1Kings:12:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"

nkjv@1Kings:12:20 @ Now it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him 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.

nkjv@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

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

nkjv@1Kings:12:24 @ "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel. Let every man return to his house, for this thing is from Me.""' Therefore they obeyed the word of the LORD, and turned back, according to the word of the LORD.

nkjv@1Kings:12:27 @ If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah."

nkjv@1Kings:12:30 @ Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

nkjv@1Kings:13:2 @ Then he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar! Thus says the LORD: "Behold, a child, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and men's bones shall be burned on you."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Surely the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out."

nkjv@1Kings:13:4 @ So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, "Arrest him!" Then his hand, which he stretched out toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself.

nkjv@1Kings:13:6 @ Then the king answered and said to the man of God, "Please entreat the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and became as before.

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

nkjv@1Kings:13:8 @ But the man of God said to the king, "If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place.

nkjv@1Kings:13:9 @ For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, "You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way you came."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:10 @ So he went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel.

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

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

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

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:13:17 @ For I have been told by the word of the LORD, "You shall not eat bread nor drink water there, nor return by going the way you came."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:18 @ He said to him, "I too am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, "Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water."' (He was lying to him.)

nkjv@1Kings:13:20 @ Now it happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

nkjv@1Kings:13:21 @ and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD: "Because you have disobeyed the word of the LORD, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

nkjv@1Kings:13:22 @ but you came back, ate bread, and drank water in the place of which the LORD said to you, "Eat no bread and drink no water," your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers."'

nkjv@1Kings:13:24 @ When he was gone, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the corpse.

nkjv@1Kings:13:25 @ And there, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road, and the lion standing by the corpse. Then they went and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:13:31 @ So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

nkjv@1Kings:13:32 @ For the saying which he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass."

nkjv@1Kings:13:33 @ After this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but again he made priests from every class of people for the high places; whoever wished, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

nkjv@1Kings:14:1 @ At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became sick.

nkjv@1Kings:14:2 @ And Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Indeed, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that I would be king over this people.

nkjv@1Kings:14:3 @ Also take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what will become of the child."

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

nkjv@1Kings:14:5 @ Now the LORD had said to Ahijah, "Here is the wife of Jeroboam, coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."

nkjv@1Kings:14:6 @ And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news.

nkjv@1Kings:14:8 @ and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes;

nkjv@1Kings:14:9 @ but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molded images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back--

nkjv@1Kings:14:13 @ And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something good toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.

nkjv@1Kings:14:17 @ Then Jeroboam's wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. When she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.

nkjv@1Kings:14:21 @ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

nkjv@1Kings:14:25 @ It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Kings:14:31 @ So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. His mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. Then Abijam his son reigned in his place.

nkjv@1Kings:15:1 @ In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

nkjv@1Kings:15:9 @ In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.

nkjv@1Kings:15:10 @ And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His grandmother's name was Maachah the granddaughter of Abishalom.

nkjv@1Kings:15:17 @ And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

nkjv@1Kings:15:25 @ Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam became king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

nkjv@1Kings:15:29 @ And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

nkjv@1Kings:15:33 @ In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and reigned twenty-four years.

nkjv@1Kings:16:8 @ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel, and reigned two years in Tirzah.

nkjv@1Kings:17:2 @ Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nkjv@1Kings:17:6 @ The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

nkjv@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD's prophets, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

nkjv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, "Go, tell your master, "Elijah is here."' He will kill me!"

nkjv@1Kings:18:26 @ So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, "O Baal, hear us!" But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made.

nkjv@1Kings:18:29 @ And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid attention.

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

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

nkjv@1Kings:18:32 @ Then with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.

nkjv@1Kings:18:34 @ Then he said, "Do it a second time," and they did it a second time; and he said, "Do it a third time," and they did it a third time.

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

nkjv@1Kings:18:37 @ Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that You are the LORD God, and that You have turned their hearts back to You again."

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

nkjv@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

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

nkjv@1Kings:18:44 @ Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, "Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you."'

nkjv@1Kings:18:45 @ Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

nkjv@1Kings:18:46 @ Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

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

nkjv@1Kings:19:4 @ But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he prayed that he might die, and said, "It is enough! Now, LORD, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!"

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

nkjv@1Kings:19:9 @ And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:13 @ So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:16 @ Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

nkjv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Please let me 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?"

nkjv@1Kings:19:21 @ So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen's equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

nkjv@1Kings:20:2 @ Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, "Thus says Ben-Hadad:

nkjv@1Kings:20:10 @ Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if enough dust is left of Samaria for a handful for each of the people who follow me."

nkjv@1Kings:20:12 @ And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the command post, that he said to his servants, "Get ready." And they got ready to attack the city.

nkjv@1Kings:20:16 @ So they went out at noon. Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were getting drunk at the command post.

nkjv@1Kings:20:17 @ The young leaders of the provinces went out first. And Ben-Hadad sent out a patrol, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out of Samaria!"

nkjv@1Kings:20:30 @ But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; then a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men who were left. And Ben-Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner chamber.

nkjv@1Kings:20:31 @ Then his servants said to him, "Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life."

nkjv@1Kings:20:32 @ So they wore sackcloth around their waists and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says, "Please let me live."' And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

nkjv@1Kings:20:35 @ Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Strike me, please." And the man refused to strike him.

nkjv@1Kings:20:36 @ Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you." And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him.

nkjv@1Kings:21:13 @ And two men, scoundrels, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!" Then they took him outside the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.

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

nkjv@1Kings:21:17 @ Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

nkjv@2Kings:4:40 @ Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat it.

nkjv@2Kings:4:41 @ So he said, "Then bring some flour." And he put it into the pot, and said, "Serve it to the people, that they may eat." And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

nkjv@2Kings:4:42 @ Then a man came from Baal Shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, "Give it to the people, that they may eat."

nkjv@2Kings:4:43 @ But his servant said, "What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?" He said again, "Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the LORD: "They shall eat and have some left over."'

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

nkjv@2Kings:5:6 @ Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, 4 Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.

nkjv@2Kings:5:7 @ And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, "Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me."

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

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

nkjv@2Kings:5:11 @ But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, "Indeed, I said to myself, "He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.'

nkjv@2Kings:5:13 @ And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, "Wash, and be clean'?"

nkjv@2Kings:5:14 @ So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

nkjv@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his aides, and came and stood before him; and he said, "Indeed, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant."

nkjv@2Kings:5:20 @ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, while not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nkjv@2Kings:5:21 @ So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"

nkjv@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, "Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments."'

nkjv@2Kings:5:23 @ So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him.

nkjv@2Kings:5:24 @ When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed.

nkjv@2Kings:5:26 @ Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?

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

nkjv@2Kings:6:10 @ Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful there, not just once or twice.

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

nkjv@2Kings:6:14 @ Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.

nkjv@2Kings:6:18 @ So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness." And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

nkjv@2Kings:6:19 @ Now Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." But he led them to Samaria.

nkjv@2Kings:6:20 @ So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!

nkjv@2Kings:6:23 @ Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:6:28 @ Then the king said to her, "What is troubling you?" And she answered, "This woman said to me, "Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'

nkjv@2Kings:6:31 @ Then he said, "God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today!"

nkjv@2Kings:6:32 @ But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nkjv@2Kings:6:33 @ And while he was still talking with them, there was the messenger, coming down to him; and then the king said, "Surely this calamity is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?"

nkjv@2Kings:7:1 @ Then Elisha said, "Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: "Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria."'

nkjv@2Kings:7:3 @ Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, "Why are we sitting here until we die?

nkjv@2Kings:7:4 @ If we say, "We will enter the city,' the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die."

nkjv@2Kings:7:5 @ And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.

nkjv@2Kings:7:8 @ And when these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back and entered another tent, and carried some from there also, and went and hid it.

nkjv@2Kings:7:9 @ Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king's household."

nkjv@2Kings:7:12 @ So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, "When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city."'

nkjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, "Please, let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city.

nkjv@2Kings:7:15 @ And they went after them to the Jordan; and indeed all the road was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and told the king.

nkjv@2Kings:7:17 @ Now the king had appointed the officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. But the people trampled him in the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nkjv@2Kings:7:18 @ So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria."

nkjv@2Kings:8:3 @ It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land.

nkjv@2Kings:8:4 @ Then the king talked with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, "Tell me, please, all the great things Elisha has done."

nkjv@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, "Why is my lord weeping?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child."

nkjv@2Kings:8:13 @ So Hazael said, "But what is your servant--a dog, that he should do this gross thing?" And Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will become king over Syria."

nkjv@2Kings:8:14 @ Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me you would surely recover."

nkjv@2Kings:8:17 @ He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Kings:8:22 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. And Libnah revolted at that time.

nkjv@2Kings:8:26 @ Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.

nkjv@2Kings:9:19 @ Then he sent out a second horseman who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king: "Is it peace?"' And Jehu answered, "What have you to do with peace? Turn around and follow me."

nkjv@2Kings:10:16 @ Then he said, "Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD." So they had him ride in his chariot.

nkjv@2Kings:10:17 @ And when he came to Samaria, he killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed them, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to Elijah.

nkjv@2Kings:10:19 @ Now therefore, call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live." But Jehu acted deceptively, with the intent of destroying the worshipers of Baal.

nkjv@2Kings:10:20 @ And Jehu said, "Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal." So they proclaimed it.

nkjv@2Kings:10:21 @ Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. So they came into the temple of Baal, and the temple of Baal was full from one end to the other.

nkjv@2Kings:10:24 @ So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men on the outside, and had said, "If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escapes, whoever lets him escape, it shall be his life for the life of the other."

nkjv@2Kings:10:25 @ Now it happened, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, "Go in and kill them; let no one come out!"

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains."

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:3 @ But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:4 @ "Go and tell My servant David, "Thus says the LORD: "You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, "Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?""

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:8 @ And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:10 @ since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you a house.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then King David went in and sat before the LORD; and he said: "Who am I, O LORD God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your sight, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the rank of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And who is like Your people Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people--to make for Yourself a name by great and awesome deeds, by driving out nations from before Your people whom You redeemed from Egypt?

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:22 @ For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, LORD, have become their God.

nkjv@1Chronicles:17:24 @ So let it be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, "The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, is Israel's God.' And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:1 @ After this it came to pass that David attacked the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:2 @ Then he defeated Moab, and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought tribute.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:4 @ David took from him one thousand chariots, seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand foot soldiers. Also David hamstrung all the chariot horses, except that he spared enough of them for one hundred chariots.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:5 @ When the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed twenty-two thousand of the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought tribute. So the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:13 @ He also put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David wherever he went.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:14 @ So David reigned over all Israel, and administered judgment and justice to all his people.

nkjv@1Chronicles:18:16 @ Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Shavsha was the scribe;

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:2 @ Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came to Hanun in the land of the people of Ammon to comfort him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Did his servants not come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:4 @ Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:5 @ Then some went and told David about the men; and he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:6 @ When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Syrian Maacah, and from Zobah.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the people of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:8 @ Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:9 @ Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array before the gate of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:10 @ When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best, and put them in battle array against the Syrians.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:12 @ Then he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:16 @ Now when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of Hadadezer's army went before them.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:17 @ When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants. So the Syrians were not willing to help the people of Ammon anymore.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:1 @ It happened in the spring of the year, at the time kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the armed forces and ravaged the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab defeated Rabbah and overthrew it.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:4 @ Now it happened afterward that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.

nkjv@1Chronicles:20:7 @ So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:2 @ So David said to Joab and to the leaders of the people, "Go, number Israel from Beersheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, "May the LORD make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why then does my lord require this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt in Israel?"

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:5 @ Then Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Choose for yourself,

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine, or three months to be defeated by your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of the LORD--the plague in the land, with the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now consider what answer I should take back to Him who sent me."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So the LORD sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said to God, "Was it not I who commanded the people to be numbered? I am the one who has sinned and done evil indeed; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, O LORD my God, be against me and my father's house, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:19 @ So David went up at the word of Gad, which he had spoken in the name of the LORD.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:21 @ So David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and bowed before David with his face to the ground.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan, "Grant me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it to the LORD. You shall grant it to me at the full price, that the plague may be withdrawn from the people."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:23 @ But Ornan said to David, "Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. Look, I also give you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I give it all."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:24 @ Then King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will surely buy it for the full price, for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings with that which costs me nothing."

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he sacrificed there.

nkjv@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD and the altar of the burnt offering, which Moses had made in the wilderness, were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.

nkjv@1Chronicles:22:3 @ And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails of the doors of the gates and for the joints, and bronze in abundance beyond measure,

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: "Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever."

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:22 @ Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:24 @ So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:25 @ When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil, they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies, and precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days gathering the spoil because there was so much.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah until this day.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:28 @ So they came to Jerusalem, with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets, to the house of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:31 @ So Jehoshaphat was king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

nkjv@2Chronicles:20:34 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, indeed they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:5 @ Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against Judah's authority to this day. At that time Libnah revolted against his rule, because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, 4 Thus says the LORD God of your father David: 4 Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah,

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:19 @ Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died in severe pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers.

nkjv@2Chronicles:21:20 @ He was thirty-two years old when he became king. He reigned in Jerusalem eight years and, to no one's sorrow, departed. However they buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:1 @ Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:8 @ And it happened, when Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers who served Ahaziah, that he killed them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:22:9 @ Then he searched for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, "because," they said, "he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart." So the house of Ahaziah had no one to assume power over the kingdom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:2 @ And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the chief fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:6 @ But let no one come into the house of the LORD except the priests and those of the Levites who serve. They may go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:7 @ And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out."

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:8 @ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to be on duty on the Sabbath, with those who were going off duty on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:12 @ Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people in the temple of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:23:13 @ When she looked, there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the leaders and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, also the singers with musical instruments, and those who led in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, "Treason! Treason!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, "Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD and of the assembly of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:11 @ So it was, at that time, when the chest was brought to the king's official by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, that the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it and returned it to its place. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:13 @ So the workmen labored, and the work was completed by them; they restored the house of God to its original condition and reinforced it.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:17 @ Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:18 @ Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served wooden images and idols; and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem because of their trespass.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:20 @ Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, who stood above the people, and said to them, "Thus says God: "Why do you transgress the commandments of the LORD, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have forsaken the LORD, He also has forsaken you."'

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, "The LORD look on it, and repay!"

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:23 @ So it happened in the spring of the year that the army of Syria came up against him; and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the leaders of the people from among the people, and sent all their spoil to the king of Damascus.

nkjv@2Chronicles:24:24 @ For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men; but the LORD delivered a very great army into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:6 @ He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:7 @ But a man of God came to him, saying, "O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel--not with any of the children of Ephraim.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:10 @ So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:14 @ Now it was so, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Now Amaziah king of Judah asked advice and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, "Come, let us face one another in battle."

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:19 @ Indeed you say that you have defeated the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall--you and Judah with you?"

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:20 @ But Amaziah would not heed, for it came from God, that He might give them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought the gods of Edom.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:21 @ So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

nkjv@2Chronicles:25:23 @ Then Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate--four hundred cubits.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:10 @ Also he built towers in the desert. He dug many wells, for he had much livestock, both in the lowlands and in the plains; he also had farmers and vinedressers in the mountains and in Carmel, for he loved the soil.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:11 @ Moreover Uzziah had an army of fighting men who went out to war by companies, according to the number on their roll as prepared by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:12 @ The total number of chief officers of the mighty men of valor was two thousand six hundred.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:14 @ Then Uzziah prepared for them, for the entire army, shields, spears, helmets, body armor, bows, and slings to cast stones.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. So his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:17 @ So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the LORD--valiant men.

nkjv@2Chronicles:26:19 @ Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am severely wounded."

nkjv@2Chronicles:35:25 @ Jeremiah also lamented for Josiah. And to this day all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. They made it a custom in Israel; and indeed they are written in the Laments.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:2 @ Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:4 @ Then the king of Egypt made Jehoahaz's brother Eliakim king over Judah and Jerusalem, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother and carried him off to Egypt.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:5 @ Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD his God.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:6 @ Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against him, and bound him in bronze fetters to carry him off to Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:7 @ Nebuchadnezzar also carried off some of the articles from the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:9 @ Jehoiachin was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months and ten days. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:15 @ And the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:16 @ But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:17 @ Therefore He brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand.

nkjv@2Chronicles:36:20 @ And those who escaped from the sword he carried away to Babylon, where they became servants to him and his sons until the rule of the kingdom of Persia,

nkjv@Ezra:2:1 @ Now these are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away to Babylon, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his own city.

nkjv@Ezra:2:2 @ Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

nkjv@Ezra:2:61 @ and of the sons of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, and the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name.

nkjv@Ezra:2:68 @ Some of the heads of the fathers' houses, when they came to the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God, to erect it in its place:

nkjv@Ezra:2:69 @ According to their ability, they gave to the treasury for the work sixty-one thousand gold drachmas, five thousand minas of silver, and one hundred priestly garments.

nkjv@Ezra:2:70 @ So the priests and the Levites, some of the people, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.

nkjv@Ezra:3:1 @ And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered together as one man to Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:3:3 @ Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening burnt offerings.

nkjv@Ezra:3:8 @ Now in the second month of the second year of their coming to the house of God at Jerusalem, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began work and appointed the Levites from twenty years old and above to oversee the work of the house of the LORD.

nkjv@Ezra:3:11 @ And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever toward Israel." Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

nkjv@Ezra:3:12 @ But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers' houses, old men who had seen the first temple, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this temple was laid before their eyes. Yet many shouted aloud for joy,

nkjv@Ezra:4:2 @ they came to Zerubbabel and the heads of the fathers' houses, and said to them, "Let us build with you, for we seek your God as you do; and we have sacrificed to Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assyria, who brought us here."

nkjv@Ezra:4:11 @ (This is a copy of the letter that they sent him) To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River, and so forth:

nkjv@Ezra:4:12 @ Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its walls and repairing the foundations.

nkjv@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we receive support from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king's dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king,

nkjv@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city in former times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

nkjv@Ezra:4:18 @ The letter which you sent to us has been clearly read before me.

nkjv@Ezra:4:19 @ And I gave the command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been fostered in it.

nkjv@Ezra:4:21 @ Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until the command is given by me.

nkjv@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophet Haggai and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophets, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tattenai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their companions came to them and spoke thus to them: "Who has commanded you to build this temple and finish this wall?"

nkjv@Ezra:5:4 @ Then, accordingly, we told them the names of the men who were constructing this building.

nkjv@Ezra:5:10 @ We also asked them their names to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who were chief among them.

nkjv@Ezra:5:14 @ Also, the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon--those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.

nkjv@Ezra:5:15 @ And he said to him, "Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.'

nkjv@Ezra:5:16 @ Then the same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and it is not finished."

nkjv@Ezra:6:2 @ And at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus:

nkjv@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the cost be paid at the king's expense from taxes on the region beyond the River; this is to be given immediately to these men, so that they are not hindered.

nkjv@Ezra:6:12 @ And may the God who causes His name to dwell there destroy any king or people who put their hand to alter it, or to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I Darius issue a decree; let it be done diligently.

nkjv@Ezra:6:14 @ So the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the command of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

nkjv@Ezra:7:3 @ the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,

nkjv@Ezra:7:6 @ this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given. The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:7 @ Some of the children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

nkjv@Ezra:7:8 @ And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.

nkjv@Ezra:7:9 @ On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

nkjv@Ezra:7:11 @ This is a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave Ezra the priest, the scribe, expert in the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of His statutes to Israel:

nkjv@Ezra:7:26 @ Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

nkjv@Ezra:7:28 @ and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king's mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.

nkjv@Ezra:8:1 @ These are the heads of their fathers' houses, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of King Artaxerxes:

nkjv@Ezra:8:13 @ of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are these--Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah--and with them sixty males;

nkjv@Ezra:8:16 @ Then I sent for Eliezer, Ariel, Shemaiah, Elnathan, Jarib, Elnathan, Nathan, Zechariah, and Meshullam, leaders; also for Joiarib and Elnathan, men of understanding.

nkjv@Ezra:8:18 @ Then, by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and brothers, eighteen men;

nkjv@Ezra:8:19 @ and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty men;

nkjv@Ezra:8:20 @ also of the Nethinim, whom David and the leaders had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim. All of them were designated by name.

nkjv@Ezra:8:21 @ Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

nkjv@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him."

nkjv@Ezra:8:32 @ So we came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three days.

nkjv@Ezra:8:33 @ Now on the fourth day the silver and the gold and the articles were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; with them were the Levites, Jozabad the son of Jeshua and Noadiah the son of Binnui,

nkjv@Ezra:8:34 @ with the number and weight of everything. All the weight was written down at that time.

nkjv@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of those who had been carried away captive, who had come from the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering to the LORD.

nkjv@Ezra:9:1 @ When these things were done, the leaders came to me, saying, "The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, with respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

nkjv@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the leaders and rulers has been foremost in this trespass."

nkjv@Ezra:9:3 @ So when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down astonished.

nkjv@Ezra:9:4 @ Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the transgression of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.

nkjv@Ezra:9:5 @ At the evening sacrifice I arose from my fasting; and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to the LORD my God.

nkjv@Ezra:9:6 @ And I said: "O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up my face to You, my God; for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has grown up to the heavens.

nkjv@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little while grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage.

nkjv@Ezra:9:9 @ For we were slaves. Yet our God did not forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ezra:9:10 @ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nkjv@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us such deliverance as this,

nkjv@Ezra:9:14 @ should we again break Your commandments, and join in marriage with the people committing these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed us, so that there would be no remnant or survivor?

nkjv@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and bowing down before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept very bitterly.

nkjv@Ezra:10:3 @ Now therefore, let us make a covenant with our God to put away all these wives and those who have been born to them, according to the advice of my master and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

nkjv@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of the guilt of those from the captivity.

nkjv@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of those from the captivity.

nkjv@Ezra:10:9 @ So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain.

nkjv@Ezra:10:14 @ Please, let the leaders of our entire assembly stand; and let all those in our cities who have taken pagan wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God is turned away from us in this matter."

nkjv@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah opposed this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite gave them support.

nkjv@Ezra:10:16 @ Then the descendants of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of the fathers' households, were set apart by the fathers' households, each of them by name; and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

nkjv@Ezra:10:17 @ By the first day of the first month they finished questioning all the men who had taken pagan wives.

nkjv@Ezra:10:20 @ Also of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah;

nkjv@Ezra:10:23 @ Also of the Levites: Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.

nkjv@Ezra:10:29 @ of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, Adaiah, Jashub, Sheal, and Ramoth;

nkjv@Ezra:10:31 @ of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

nkjv@Ezra:10:33 @ of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei;

nkjv@Ezra:10:36 @ Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,

nkjv@Ezra:10:38 @ Bani, Binnui, Shimei,

nkjv@Ezra:10:44 @ All these had taken pagan wives, and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:1 @ The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. It came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the citadel,

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:2 @ that Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, "The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire."

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:5 @ And I said: "I pray, LORD God of heaven, O great and awesome God, You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love You and observe Your commandments,

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:7 @ We have acted very corruptly against You, and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:8 @ Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, "If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations;

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:9 @ but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.'

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:10 @ Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand.

nkjv@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man." For I was the king's cupbearer.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:4 @ Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:5 @ And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:6 @ Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:7 @ Furthermore I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah,

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:8 @ and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy." And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:9 @ Then I went to the governors in the region beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:10 @ When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard of it, they were deeply disturbed that a man had come to seek the well-being of the children of Israel.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:11 @ So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:12 @ Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to pass.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach."

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work.

nkjv@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:2 @ Next to Eliashib the men of Jericho built. And next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:4 @ And next to them Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, made repairs. Next to them Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel, made repairs. Next to them Zadok the son of Baana made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:6 @ Moreover Jehoiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors, with its bolts and bars.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:7 @ And next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite, Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and Mizpah, repaired the residence of the governor of the region beyond the River.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:8 @ Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Also next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs; and they fortified Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:21 @ After him Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz, repaired another section, from the door of the house of Eliashib to the end of the house of Eliashib.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:22 @ And after him the priests, the men of the plain, made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them Zadok the son of Immer made repairs in front of his own house. After him Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah made repairs in front of his dwelling.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:31 @ After him Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs as far as the house of the Nethinim and of the merchants, in front of the Miphkad Gate, and as far as the upper room at the corner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:3:32 @ And between the upper room at the corner, as far as the Sheep Gate, the goldsmiths and the merchants made repairs.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:7 @ Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry,

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said, "They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:12 @ So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they told us ten times, "From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:16 @ So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the house of Judah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the trumpet was beside me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we labored in the work, and half of the men held the spears from daybreak until the stars appeared.

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:22 @ At the same time I also said to the people, "Let each man and his servant stay at night in Jerusalem, that they may be our guard by night and a working party by day."

nkjv@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, my brethren, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me took off our clothes, except that everyone took them off for washing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:3 @ There were also some who said, "We have mortgaged our lands and vineyards and houses, that we might buy grain because of the famine."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our lands and vineyards."

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:6 @ And I became very angry when I heard their outcry and these words.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:8 @ And I said to them, "According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?" Then they were silenced and found nothing to say.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:13 @ Then I shook out the fold of my garment and said, "So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not perform this promise. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" and praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover, from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, twelve years, neither I nor my brothers ate the governor's provisions.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people, and took from them bread and wine, besides forty shekels of silver. Yes, even their servants bore rule over the people, but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:17 @ And at my table were one hundred and fifty Jews and rulers, besides those who came to us from the nations around us.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in spite of this I did not demand the governor's provisions, because the bondage was heavy on this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it happened when Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had rebuilt the wall, and that there were no breaks left in it (though at that time I had not hung the doors in the gates),

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:2 @ that Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together among the villages in the plain of Ono." But they thought to do me harm.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:3 @ So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:4 @ But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, "There is a king in Judah!" Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:10 @ Afterward I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was a secret informer; and he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you; indeed, at night they will come to kill you."

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:12 @ Then I perceived that God had not sent him at all, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and act that way and sin, so that they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:14 @ My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat, according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Also in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came to them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nkjv@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they reported his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it:

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:7 @ Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:54 @ the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha,

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:61 @ And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not identify their father's house nor their lineage, whether they were of Israel:

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:63 @ and of the priests: the sons of Habaiah, the sons of Koz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called by their name.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:67 @ besides their male and female servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women singers.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:69 @ their camels four hundred and thirty-five, and donkeys six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:70 @ And some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury one thousand gold drachmas, fifty basins, and five hundred and thirty priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:71 @ Some of the heads of the fathers' houses gave to the treasury of the work twenty thousand gold drachmas, and two thousand two hundred silver minas.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:72 @ And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand gold drachmas, two thousand silver minas, and sixty-seven priestly garments.

nkjv@Nehemiah:7:73 @ So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the Nethinim, and all Israel dwelt in their cities. When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:2 @ So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men and women and all who could hear with understanding on the first day of the seventh month.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:3 @ Then he read from it in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to the Book of the Law.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:4 @ So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

nkjv@Nehemiah:8:6 @ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answered, "Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:5 @ And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: "Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! "Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:10 @ You showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants, And against all the people of his land. For You knew that they acted proudly against them. So You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

But they hardened their necks, And in their rebellion They appointed a leader To return to their bondage. But You are God, Ready to pardon, Gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, Abundant in kindness, And did not forsake them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:19 @ Yet in Your manifold mercies You did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of the cloud did not depart from them by day, To lead them on the road; Nor the pillar of fire by night, To show them light, And the way they should go.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:27 @ Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, Who oppressed them; And in the time of their trouble, When they cried to You, You heard from heaven; And according to Your abundant mercies You gave them deliverers who saved them From the hand of their enemies.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:28 @ "But after they had rest, They again did evil before You. Therefore You left them in the hand of their enemies, So that they had dominion over them; Yet when they returned and cried out to You, You heard from heaven; And many times You delivered them according to Your mercies,

Yet they acted proudly, And did not heed Your commandments, But sinned against Your judgments, "Which if a man does, he shall live by them.' And they shrugged their shoulders, Stiffened their necks, And would not hear.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:31 @ Nevertheless in Your great mercy You did not utterly consume them nor forsake them; For You are God, gracious and merciful.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:32 @ "Now therefore, our God, The great, the mighty, and awesome God, Who keeps covenant and mercy: Do not let all the trouble seem small before You That has come upon us, Our kings and our princes, Our priests and our prophets, Our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:9:34 @ Neither our kings nor our princes, Our priests nor our fathers, Have kept Your law, Nor heeded Your commandments and Your testimonies, With which You testified against them.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:43 @ Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard afar off.

nkjv@Nehemiah:12:44 @ And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:1 @ On that day they read from the Book of Moses in the hearing of the people, and in it was found written that no Ammonite or Moabite should ever come into the assembly of God,

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:2 @ because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:7 @ and I came to Jerusalem and discovered the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:8 @ And it grieved me bitterly; therefore I threw all the household goods of Tobiah out of the room.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:14 @ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for its services!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:16 @ Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:19 @ So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:20 @ Now the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I warned them, and said to them, "Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I will lay hands on you!" From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy!

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:23 @ In those days I also saw Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:25 @ So I contended with them and cursed them, struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, "You shall not give your daughters as wives to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or yourselves.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless pagan women caused even him to sin.

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, transgressing against our God by marrying pagan women?"

nkjv@Nehemiah:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I drove him from me.

nkjv@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),

nkjv@Esther:1:3 @ that in the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants--the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the princes of the provinces being before him--

nkjv@Esther:1:6 @ There were white and blue linen curtains fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on silver rods and marble pillars; and the couches were of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of alabaster, turquoise, and white and black marble.

nkjv@Esther:1:9 @ Queen Vashti also made a feast for the women in the royal palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,

nkjv@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command brought by his eunuchs; therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.

nkjv@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times (for this was the king's manner toward all who knew law and justice,

nkjv@Esther:1:14 @ those closest to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king's presence, and who ranked highest in the kingdom):

nkjv@Esther:1:16 @ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes: "Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king, but also all the princes, and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:1:17 @ For the queen's behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report, "King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'

nkjv@Esther:1:18 @ This very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say to all the king's officials that they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be excessive contempt and wrath.

nkjv@Esther:1:19 @ If it pleases the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it will not be altered, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal position to another who is better than she.

nkjv@Esther:1:20 @ When the king's decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small."

nkjv@Esther:1:21 @ And the reply pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan.

nkjv@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.

nkjv@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women's quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them.

nkjv@Esther:2:5 @ In Shushan the citadel there was a certain Jew whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite.

nkjv@Esther:2:8 @ So it was, when the king's command and decree were heard, and when many young women were gathered at Shushan the citadel, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was taken to the king's palace, into the care of Hegai the custodian of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:9 @ Now the young woman pleased him, and she obtained his favor; so he readily gave beauty preparations to her, besides her allowance. Then seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king's palace, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.

nkjv@Esther:2:11 @ And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women's quarters, to learn of Esther's welfare and what was happening to her.

nkjv@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months' preparation, according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their preparation apportioned: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

nkjv@Esther:2:13 @ Thus prepared, each young woman went to the king, and she was given whatever she desired to take with her from the women's quarters to the king's palace.

nkjv@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who kept the concubines. She would not go in to the king again unless the king delighted in her and called for her by name.

nkjv@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the custodian of the women, advised. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who saw her.

nkjv@Esther:2:17 @ The king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

nkjv@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his officials and servants; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the generosity of a king.

nkjv@Esther:2:19 @ When virgins were gathered together a second time, Mordecai sat within the king's gate.

nkjv@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai sat within the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, doorkeepers, became furious and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nkjv@Esther:2:22 @ So the matter became known to Mordecai, who told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nkjv@Esther:2:23 @ And when an inquiry was made into the matter, it was confirmed, and both were hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.

nkjv@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

nkjv@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:3:12 @ Then the king's scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded--to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nkjv@Esther:3:13 @ And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.

nkjv@Esther:3:14 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

nkjv@Esther:3:15 @ The couriers went out, hastened by the king's command; and the decree was proclaimed in Shushan the citadel. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

nkjv@Esther:4:4 @ So Esther's maids and eunuchs came and told her, and the queen was deeply distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them.

nkjv@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

nkjv@Esther:4:16 @ "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!"

nkjv@Esther:5:4 @ So Esther answered, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nkjv@Esther:5:8 @ If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

nkjv@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

nkjv@Esther:5:12 @ Moreover Haman said, "Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king.

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

nkjv@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go merrily with the king to the banquet." And the thing pleased Haman; so he had the gallows made.

nkjv@Esther:6:5 @ The king's servants said to him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

nkjv@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king asked him, "What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought in his heart, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

nkjv@Esther:6:11 @ So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!"

nkjv@Esther:6:13 @ When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him."

nkjv@Esther:6:14 @ While they were still talking with him, the king's eunuchs came, and hastened to bring Haman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nkjv@Esther:7:3 @ Then Queen Esther answered and said, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.

nkjv@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

nkjv@Esther:8:1 @ On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her.

nkjv@Esther:8:3 @ Now Esther spoke again to the king, fell down at his feet, and implored him with tears to counteract the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the scheme which he had devised against the Jews.

nkjv@Esther:8:5 @ and said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nkjv@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my countrymen?"

nkjv@Esther:8:8 @ You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring no one can revoke."

nkjv@Esther:8:9 @ So the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month of Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

nkjv@Esther:8:10 @ And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horseback, riding on royal horses bred from swift steeds.

nkjv@Esther:8:11 @ By these letters the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and protect their lives--to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little children and women, and to plunder their possessions,

nkjv@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

nkjv@Esther:8:15 @ So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.

nkjv@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province and city, wherever the king's command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.

nkjv@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king's command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.

nkjv@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's palace, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai became increasingly prominent.

nkjv@Esther:9:6 @ And in Shushan the citadel the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

nkjv@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews--they killed; but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.

nkjv@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the citadel, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done."

nkjv@Esther:9:15 @ And the Jews who were in Shushan gathered together again on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and killed three hundred men at Shushan; but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.

nkjv@Esther:9:24 @ because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to annihilate them, and had cast Pur (that is, the lot), to consume them and destroy them;

nkjv@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this wicked plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

nkjv@Esther:9:26 @ So they called these days Purim, after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter, and what had happened to them,

nkjv@Esther:9:27 @ the Jews established and imposed it upon themselves and their descendants and all who would join them, that without fail they should celebrate these two days every year, according to the written instructions and according to the prescribed time,

nkjv@Esther:9:28 @ that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city, that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, and that the memory of them should not perish among their descendants.

nkjv@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had prescribed for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their descendants concerning matters of their fasting and lamenting.

nkjv@Esther:9:32 @ So the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim, and it was written in the book.

nkjv@Esther:10:2 @ Now all the acts of his power and his might, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

nkjv@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and well received by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his countrymen.

nkjv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

nkjv@Job:1:3 @ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

nkjv@Job:1:7 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:1:8 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"

nkjv@Job:1:14 @ and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,

nkjv@Job:1:16 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:18 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nkjv@Job:1:19 @ and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:21 @ And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."

nkjv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

nkjv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:2:3 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause."

nkjv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

nkjv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

nkjv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I acquired male and female servants, and had servants born in my house. Yes, I had greater possessions of herds and flocks than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I became great and excelled more than all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man's eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "This also is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:25 @ For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, more than I?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @ A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @ A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @ A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @ A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands And consumes his own flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he comes out of prison to be king, Although he was born poor in his kingdom.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream comes through much activity, And a fool's voice is known by his many words.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also is a severe evil-- Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ A man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing for himself of all he desires; yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner consumes it. This is vanity, and it is an evil affliction.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ for it comes in vanity and departs in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one's birth;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Do not say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @ Do not be overly wicked, Nor be foolish: Why should you die before your time?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have proved by wisdom. I said, "I will be wise"; But it was far from me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ I say, "Keep the king's commandment for the sake of your oath to God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ Let your garments always be white, And let your head lack no oil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned and saw under the sun that-- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

nkjv@Songs:1:2 @ Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- For your love is better than wine.

nkjv@Songs:1:3 @ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.

nkjv@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me away! We will run after you. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember 1your love more than wine. Rightly do they love 1you.

nkjv@Songs:1:6 @ Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept.

nkjv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions?

nkjv@Songs:1:8 @ If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents.

nkjv@Songs:1:10 @ Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains of gold.

nkjv@Songs:1:11 @ We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver.

nkjv@Songs:1:13 @ A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts.

nkjv@Songs:1:14 @ My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi.

nkjv@Songs:1:16 @ Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.

nkjv@Songs:2:4 @ He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.

nkjv@Songs:2:5 @ Sustain me with cakes of raisins, Refresh me with apples, For I am lovesick.

nkjv@Songs:2:6 @ His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.

nkjv@Songs:2:8 @ The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.

nkjv@Songs:2:10 @ My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away.

nkjv@Songs:2:12 @ The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

nkjv@Songs:2:13 @ The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

nkjv@Songs:2:14 @ "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely."

nkjv@Songs:3:3 @ The watchmen who go about the city found me; I said, "Have you seen the one I love?"

nkjv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

nkjv@Songs:3:6 @ Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant's fragrant powders?

nkjv@Songs:3:7 @ Behold, it is Solomon's couch, With sixty valiant men around it, Of the valiant of Israel.

nkjv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, Every one of which bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:4:3 @ Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil Are like a piece of pomegranate.

nkjv@Songs:4:4 @ Your neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armory, On which hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men.

nkjv@Songs:4:8 @ Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, With me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards.

nkjv@Songs:4:10 @ How fair is your love, My sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, And the scent of your perfumes Than all spices!

nkjv@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips, O my spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

nkjv@Songs:4:13 @ Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates With pleasant fruits, Fragrant henna with spikenard,

nkjv@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.

nkjv@Songs:5:1 @ I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, yes, drink deeply, O beloved ones!

nkjv@Songs:5:2 @ I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, "Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night."

nkjv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and was gone. My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

nkjv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls Took my veil away from me.

nkjv@Songs:5:9 @ What is your beloved More than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved More than another beloved, That you so charge us?

nkjv@Songs:6:1 @ Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among women? Where has your beloved turned aside, That we may seek him with you?

nkjv@Songs:6:4 @ O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, Lovely as Jerusalem, Awesome as an army with banners!

nkjv@Songs:6:5 @ Turn your eyes away from me, For they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats Going down from Gilead.

nkjv@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep Which have come up from the washing; Every one bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:6:7 @ Like a piece of pomegranate Are your temples behind your veil.

nkjv@Songs:6:10 @ Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

nkjv@Songs:6:11 @ I went down to the garden of nuts To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine had budded And the pomegranates had bloomed.

nkjv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was even aware, My soul had made me As the chariots of my noble people.

nkjv@Songs:7:5 @ Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, And the hair of your head is like purple; A king is held captive by your tresses.

nkjv@Songs:7:10 @ I am my beloved's, And his desire is toward me.

nkjv@Songs:7:11 @ Come, my beloved, Let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

nkjv@Songs:7:12 @ Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, Whether the grape blossoms are open, And the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.

nkjv@Songs:8:2 @ I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, She who used to instruct me. I would cause you to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.

nkjv@Songs:8:3 @ His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.

nkjv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

nkjv@Songs:8:9 @ If she is a wall, We will build upon her A battlement of silver; And if she is a door, We will enclose her With boards of cedar.

nkjv@Songs:8:10 @ I am a wall, And my breasts like towers; Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace.

nkjv@Songs:8:12 @ My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, And those who tend its fruit two hundred.

nkjv@Songs:8:13 @ You who dwell in the gardens, The companions listen for your voice-- Let me hear it!

nkjv@Isaiah:1:2 @ Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the LORD has spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against Me;

nkjv@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even to the head, There is no soundness in it, But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores; They have not been closed or bound up, Or soothed with ointment.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:9 @ Unless the LORD of hosts Had left to us a very small remnant, We would have become like Sodom, We would have been made like Gomorrah.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:11 @ "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs or goats.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:12 @ "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts?

nkjv@Isaiah:1:13 @ Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:14 @ Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:18 @ "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:21 @ How the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; Righteousness lodged in it, But now murderers.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your princes are rebellious, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes, And follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:27 @ Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her penitents with righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:28 @ The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, And those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

nkjv@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees Which you have desired; And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens Which you have chosen.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:2 @ Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:3 @ Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:5 @ O house of Jacob, come and let us walk In the light of the LORD.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:11 @ The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.

nkjv@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the day of the LORD of hosts Shall come upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up-- And it shall be brought low--

nkjv@Isaiah:2:17 @ The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

nkjv@Isaiah:3:7 @ In that day he will protest, saying, "I cannot cure your ills, For in my house is neither food nor clothing; Do not make me a ruler of the people."

nkjv@Isaiah:3:12 @ As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths."

nkjv@Isaiah:3:14 @ The LORD will enter into judgment With the elders of His people And His princes: "For you have eaten up the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:15 @ What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the faces of the poor?" Says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:20 @ The headdresses, the leg ornaments, and the headbands; The perfume boxes, the charms, The nose jewels, The outer garments, the purses, The fine linen, the turbans, and the robes.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:22 @ the festal apparel, and the mantles; The outer garments, the purses,

nkjv@Isaiah:3:24 @ And so it shall be: Instead of a sweet smell there will be a stench; Instead of a sash, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, baldness; Instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty. and the rings; The nose jewels,

nkjv@Isaiah:3:25 @ Your men shall fall by the sword, And your mighty in the war.

nkjv@Isaiah:3:26 @ Her gates shall lament and mourn, And she being desolate shall sit on the ground.

nkjv@Isaiah:4:3 @ And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Isaiah:4:4 @ When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,

nkjv@Isaiah:4:6 @ And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:1 @ Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard On a very fruitful hill.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:3 @ "And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:6 @ I will lay it waste; It shall not be pruned or dug, But there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds That they rain no rain on it."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold, oppression; For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:10 @ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, And a homer of seed shall yield one ephah."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe to those who rise early in the morning, That they may follow intoxicating drink; Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!

nkjv@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:16 @ But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:19 @ That say, "Let Him make speed and hasten His work, That we may see it; And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, That we may know it."

nkjv@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink,

nkjv@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nkjv@Isaiah:5:26 @ He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar, And will whistle to them from the end of the earth; Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.

nkjv@Isaiah:6:5 @ So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts."

nkjv@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:3 @ the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:5 @ Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:22 @ The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:25 @ A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.

nkjv@Ezekiel:1:26 @ And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:1 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you."

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:2 @ Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And He said to me: "Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:9 @ Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:2:10 @ Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:1 @ Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:2 @ So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you." So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:4 @ Then He said to me: "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:10 @ Moreover He said to me: "Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: "Blessed is the glory of the LORD from His place!"

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:14 @ So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:15 @ Then I came to the captives at Tel Abib, who dwelt by the River Chebar; and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:16 @ Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:17 @ "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:18 @ When I say to the wicked, "You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:20 @ "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:22 @ Then the hand of the LORD was upon me there, and He said to me, "Arise, go out into the plain, and there I shall talk with you."

nkjv@Ezekiel:3:24 @ Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke with me and said to me: "Go, shut yourself inside your house.

nkjv@Ezekiel:4:10 @ And your food which you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:4:11 @ You shall also drink water by measure, one-sixth of a hin; from time to time you shall drink.

nkjv@Ezekiel:4:14 @ So I said, "Ah, Lord GOD! Indeed I have never defiled myself from my youth till now; I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has abominable flesh ever come into my mouth."

nkjv@Ezekiel:4:15 @ Then He said to me, "See, I am giving you cow dung instead of human waste, and you shall prepare your bread over it."

nkjv@Ezekiel:4:16 @ Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, surely I will cut off the supply of bread in Jerusalem; they shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and shall drink water by measure and with dread,

nkjv@Ezekiel:5:3 @ You shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment.

nkjv@Ezekiel:5:4 @ Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.

nkjv@Ezekiel:5:6 @ She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.'

nkjv@Ezekiel:5:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you'--

nkjv@Ezekiel:5:15 @ "So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

nkjv@Ezekiel:6:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying:

nkjv@Ezekiel:6:4 @ Then your altars shall be desolate, your incense altars shall be broken, and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.

nkjv@Ezekiel:6:8 @ "Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.

nkjv@Ezekiel:6:9 @ Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.

nkjv@Ezekiel:7:1 @ Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nkjv@Ezekiel:7:2 @ "And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel: "An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:1 @ And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me there.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:3 @ He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:5 @ Then He said to me, "Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north." So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:6 @ Furthermore He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:7 @ So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:8 @ Then He said to me, "Son of man, dig into the wall"; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:9 @ And He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:11 @ And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:12 @ Then He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, "The LORD does not see us, the LORD has forsaken the land."'

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:13 @ And He said to me, "Turn again, and you will see greater abominations that they are doing."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:14 @ So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the LORD's house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:15 @ Then He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these."

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:16 @ So He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house; and there, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.

nkjv@Ezekiel:8:17 @ And He said to me, "Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:2 @ And suddenly six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his battle-ax in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer's inkhorn at his side. They went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:4 @ and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it."

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:6 @ Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the temple.

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:9 @ Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, "The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'

nkjv@Ezekiel:9:11 @ Just then, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, "I have done as You commanded me."

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:1 @ And I looked, and there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:16 @ When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:10:22 @ And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:22 @ Its windows and those of its archways, and also its palm trees, had the same measurements as the gateway facing east; it was ascended by seven steps, and its archway was in front of it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:23 @ A gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gateway, just as the eastern gateway; and he measured from gateway to gateway, one hundred cubits.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:24 @ After that he brought me toward the south, and there a gateway was facing south; and he measured its gateposts and archways according to these same measurements.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:27 @ There was also a gateway on the inner court, facing south; and he measured from gateway to gateway toward the south, one hundred cubits.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:35 @ Then he brought me to the north gateway and measured it according to these same measurements--

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:42 @ There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, one cubit and a half long, one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:47 @ And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. The altar was in front of the temple.

nkjv@Ezekiel:40:48 @ Then he brought me to the vestibule of the temple and measured the doorposts of the vestibule, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side; and the width of the gateway was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:1 @ Then he brought me into the sanctuary and measured the doorposts, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other side--the width of the tabernacle.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:2 @ The width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:3 @ Also he went inside and measured the doorposts, two cubits; and the entrance, six cubits high; and the width of the entrance, seven cubits.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:4 @ He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, "This is the Most Holy Place."

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:5 @ Next, he measured the wall of the temple, six cubits. The width of each side chamber all around the temple was four cubits on every side.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:7 @ As one went up from story to story, the side chambers became wider all around, because their supporting ledges in the wall of the temple ascended like steps; therefore the width of the structure increased as one went up from the lowest story to the highest by way of the middle one.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:13 @ So he measured the temple, one hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard with the building and its walls was one hundred cubits long;

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:15 @ He measured the length of the building behind it, facing the separating courtyard, with its galleries on the one side and on the other side, one hundred cubits, as well as the inner temple and the porches of the court,

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:16 @ their doorposts and the beveled window frames. And the galleries all around their three stories opposite the threshold were paneled with wood from the ground to the windows--the windows were covered--

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:17 @ from the space above the door, even to the inner room, as well as outside, and on every wall all around, inside and outside, by measure.

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:22 @ The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood; and he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD."

nkjv@Ezekiel:41:26 @ There were beveled window frames and palm trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the vestibule--also on the side chambers of the temple and on the canopies.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:1 @ Then he brought me out into the outer court, by the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber which was opposite the separating courtyard, and which was opposite the building toward the north.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:3 @ Opposite the inner court of twenty cubits, and opposite the pavement of the outer court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:13 @ Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separating courtyard, are the holy chambers where the priests who approach the LORD shall eat the most holy offerings. There they shall lay the most holy offerings--the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering--for the place is holy.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:14 @ When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy chamber into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people."

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:15 @ Now when he had finished measuring the inner temple, he brought me out through the gateway that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:16 @ He measured the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:17 @ He measured the north side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod all around.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:18 @ He measured the south side, five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:19 @ He came around to the west side and measured five hundred rods by the measuring rod.

nkjv@Ezekiel:42:20 @ He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, five hundred cubits long and five hundred wide, to separate the holy areas from the common.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:1 @ Afterward he brought me to the gate, the gate that faces toward the east.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:2 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:3 @ It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw--like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:4 @ And the glory of the LORD came into the temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:5 @ The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the temple.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:6 @ Then I heard Him speaking to me from the temple, while a man stood beside me.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:7 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever. No more shall the house of Israel defile My holy name, they nor their kings, by their harlotry or with the carcasses of their kings on their high places.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:8 @ When they set their threshold by My threshold, and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:9 @ Now let them put their harlotry and the carcasses of their kings far away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:10 @ "Son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:11 @ And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the temple and its arrangement, its exits and its entrances, its entire design and all its ordinances, all its forms and all its laws. Write it down in their sight, so that they may keep its whole design and all its ordinances, and perform them.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:13 @ "These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar:

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And He said to me, "Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD: "These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:19 @ You shall give a young bull for a sin offering to the priests, the Levites, who are of the seed of Zadok, who approach Me to minister to Me,' says the Lord GOD.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:20 @ You shall take some of its blood and put it on the four horns of the altar, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; thus you shall cleanse it and make atonement for it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:43:26 @ Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and so consecrate it.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:1 @ Then He brought me back to the outer gate of the sanctuary which faces toward the east, but it was shut.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:2 @ And the LORD said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:4 @ Also He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the temple; so I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD; and I fell on my face.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:5 @ And the LORD said to me, "Son of man, mark well, see with your eyes and hear with your ears, all that I say to you concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD and all its laws. Mark well who may enter the house and all who go out from the sanctuary.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:10 @ "And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:13 @ And they shall not come near Me to minister to Me as priest, nor come near any of My holy things, nor into the Most Holy Place; but they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.

nkjv@Ezekiel:44:15 @ "But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood," says the Lord GOD.

nkjv@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said, "I know for certain that you would gain time, because you see that my decision is firm:

nkjv@Daniel:2:9 @ if you do not make known the dream to me, there is only one decree for you! For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me till the time has changed. Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that you can give me its interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:12 @ For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

nkjv@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to kill them.

nkjv@Daniel:2:14 @ Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon;

nkjv@Daniel:2:16 @ So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:2:18 @ that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

nkjv@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.

nkjv@Daniel:2:21 @ And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

nkjv@Daniel:2:23 @ "I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king's demand."

nkjv@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:2:26 @ The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?"

nkjv@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king.

nkjv@Daniel:2:29 @ As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.

nkjv@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

nkjv@Daniel:2:31 @ "You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.

nkjv@Daniel:2:35 @ Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

nkjv@Daniel:2:38 @ and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all--you are this head of gold.

nkjv@Daniel:2:43 @ As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.

nkjv@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

nkjv@Daniel:2:45 @ Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold--the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure."

nkjv@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.

nkjv@Daniel:2:49 @ Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

nkjv@Daniel:3:2 @ And King Nebuchadnezzar sent word to gather together the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nkjv@Daniel:3:5 @ that at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up;

nkjv@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace."

nkjv@Daniel:3:7 @ So at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the horn, flute, harp, and lyre, in symphony with all kinds of music, all the people, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the gold image which King Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

nkjv@Daniel:3:8 @ Therefore at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and accused the Jews.

nkjv@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men, O king, have not paid due regard to you. They do not serve your gods or worship the gold image which you have set up."

nkjv@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.

nkjv@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?

nkjv@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?"

nkjv@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

nkjv@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

nkjv@Daniel:3:20 @ And he commanded certain mighty men of valor who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, and cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

nkjv@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

nkjv@Daniel:3:22 @ Therefore, because the king's command was urgent, and the furnace exceedingly hot, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego.

nkjv@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

nkjv@Daniel:3:24 @ Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king."

nkjv@Daniel:3:25 @ "Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."

nkjv@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here." Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego came from the midst of the fire.

nkjv@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, administrators, governors, and the king's counselors gathered together, and they saw these men on whose bodies the fire had no power; the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments affected, and the smell of fire was not on them.

nkjv@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who sent His Angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and they have frustrated the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they should not serve nor worship any god except their own God!

nkjv@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language which speaks anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made an ash heap; because there is no other God who can deliver like this."

nkjv@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the province of Babylon.

nkjv@Daniel:4:2 @ I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me.

nkjv@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.

nkjv@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

nkjv@Daniel:4:7 @ Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:8 @ But at last Daniel came before me (his name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god; in him is the Spirit of the Holy God), and I told the dream before him, saying:

nkjv@Daniel:4:9 @ "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew and became strong; Its height reached to the heavens, And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.

nkjv@Daniel:4:16 @ Let his heart be changed from that of a man, Let him be given the heart of a beast, And let seven times pass over him.

nkjv@Daniel:4:17 @ "This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.'

nkjv@Daniel:4:18 @ "This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you."

nkjv@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke, and said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you." Belteshazzar answered and said, "My lord, may the dream concern those who hate you, and its interpretation concern your enemies!

nkjv@Daniel:4:20 @ "The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong, whose height reached to the heavens and which could be seen by all the earth,

nkjv@Daniel:4:21 @ whose leaves were lovely and its fruit abundant, in which was food for all, under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and in whose branches the birds of the heaven had their home--

nkjv@Daniel:4:23 @ "And inasmuch as the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, "Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its stump and roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field; let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let him graze with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him';

nkjv@Daniel:4:24 @ this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:

nkjv@Daniel:4:25 @ They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.

nkjv@Daniel:4:26 @ "And inasmuch as they gave the command to leave the stump and roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be assured to you, after you come to know that Heaven rules.

nkjv@Daniel:4:27 @ Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity."

nkjv@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.

nkjv@Daniel:4:32 @ And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses."

nkjv@Daniel:4:33 @ That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.

nkjv@Daniel:4:34 @ And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation.

nkjv@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me. My counselors and nobles resorted to me, I was restored to my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.

nkjv@Daniel:5:5 @ In the same hour the fingers of a man's hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

nkjv@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, "Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck; and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

nkjv@Daniel:5:8 @ Now all the king's wise men came, but they could not read the writing, or make known to the king its interpretation.

nkjv@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came to the banquet hall. The queen spoke, saying, "O king, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your countenance change.

nkjv@Daniel:5:12 @ Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation."

nkjv@Daniel:5:15 @ Now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not give the interpretation of the thing.

nkjv@Daniel:5:16 @ And I have heard of you, that you can give interpretations and explain enigmas. Now if you can read the writing and make known to me its interpretation, you shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around your neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom."

nkjv@Daniel:5:19 @ And because of the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. Whomever he wished, he executed; whomever he wished, he kept alive; whomever he wished, he set up; and whomever he wished, he put down.

nkjv@Daniel:5:21 @ Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

nkjv@Daniel:5:25 @ "And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

nkjv@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;

nkjv@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

nkjv@Daniel:5:31 @ And Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.

nkjv@Daniel:6:4 @ So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him.

nkjv@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, "We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God."

nkjv@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter."

nkjv@Daniel:6:10 @ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

nkjv@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

nkjv@Daniel:6:12 @ And they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king's decree: "Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?" The king answered and said, "The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not alter."

nkjv@Daniel:6:13 @ So they answered and said before the king, "That Daniel, who is one of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed, but makes his petition three times a day."

nkjv@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, "Know, O king, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nkjv@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came to the den, he cried out with a lamenting voice to Daniel. The king spoke, saying to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nkjv@Daniel:6:22 @ My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you."

nkjv@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king gave the command, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions--them, their children, and their wives; and the lions overpowered them, and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever came to the bottom of the den.

nkjv@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end.

nkjv@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

nkjv@Daniel:8:6 @ Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power.

nkjv@Daniel:8:8 @ Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.

nkjv@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.

nkjv@Daniel:8:10 @ And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

nkjv@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed."

nkjv@Daniel:8:15 @ Then it happened, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning, that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.

nkjv@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end."

nkjv@Amos:2:6 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they sell the righteous for silver, And the poor for a pair of sandals.

nkjv@Amos:2:7 @ They pant after the dust of the earth which is on the head of the poor, And pervert the way of the humble. A man and his father go in to the same girl, To defile My holy name.

nkjv@Amos:2:11 @ I raised up some of your sons as prophets, And some of your young men as Nazirites. Is it not so, O you children of Israel?" Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:2:16 @ The most courageous men of might Shall flee naked in that day," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:3:15 @ I will destroy the winter house along with the summer house; The houses of ivory shall perish, And the great houses shall have an end," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:6 @ "Also I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities. And lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:8 @ So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water, But they were not satisfied; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:9 @ "I blasted you with blight and mildew. When your gardens increased, Your vineyards, Your fig trees, And your olive trees, The locust devoured them; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:10 @ "I sent among you a plague after the manner of Egypt; Your young men I killed with a sword, Along with your captive horses; I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:4:11 @ "I overthrew some of you, As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; Yet you have not returned to Me," Says the LORD.

nkjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:

nkjv@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: "Seek Me and live;

nkjv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.

nkjv@Amos:5:8 @ He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The LORD is His name.

nkjv@Amos:5:9 @ He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.

nkjv@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.

nkjv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this: "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, "Alas! Alas!' They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.

nkjv@Amos:5:19 @ It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

nkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

nkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

nkjv@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

nkjv@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus," Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.

nkjv@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in Mount Samaria, Notable persons in the chief nation, To whom the house of Israel comes!

nkjv@Amos:6:3 @ Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, Who cause the seat of violence to come near;

nkjv@Amos:6:5 @ Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments, And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;

nkjv@Amos:6:6 @ Who drink wine from bowls, And anoint yourselves with the best ointments, But are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

nkjv@Amos:6:9 @ Then it shall come to pass, that if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.

nkjv@Amos:6:10 @ And when a relative of the dead, with one who will burn the bodies, picks up the bodies to take them out of the house, he will say to one inside the house, "Are there any more with you?" Then someone will say, "None." And he will say, "Hold your tongue! For we dare not mention the name of the LORD."

nkjv@Amos:7:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king's mowings.

nkjv@Amos:7:4 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory.

nkjv@Amos:7:7 @ Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.

nkjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said: "Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.

nkjv@Amos:7:15 @ Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock, And the LORD said to me, "Go, prophesy to My people Israel.'

nkjv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit.

nkjv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me: "The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.

nkjv@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the LORD, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):

nkjv@Obadiah:1:3 @ The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?'

nkjv@Obadiah:1:5 @ "If thieves had come to you, If robbers by night-- Oh, how you will be cut off!-- Would they not have stolen till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, Would they not have left some gleanings?

nkjv@Obadiah:1:7 @ All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you and prevail against you. Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it.

nkjv@Obadiah:1:8 @ "Will I not in that day," says the LORD, "Even destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau?

nkjv@Obadiah:1:9 @ Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter.

nkjv@Obadiah:1:10 @ "For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever.

nkjv@Obadiah:1:18 @ The house of Jacob shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau shall be stubble; They shall kindle them and devour them, And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.

nkjv@Obadiah:1:21 @ Then saviors shall come to Mount Zion To judge the mountains of Esau, And the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

nkjv@Jonah:1:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

nkjv@Jonah:1:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me."

nkjv@Jonah:1:6 @ So the captain came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish."

nkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

nkjv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, "Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?"

nkjv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

nkjv@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me."

nkjv@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.

nkjv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows.

nkjv@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.

nkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.

nkjv@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.

nkjv@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God.

nkjv@Jonah:2:7 @ "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.

nkjv@Jonah:2:8 @ "Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.

nkjv@Jonah:3:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,

nkjv@Jonah:3:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."

nkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.

nkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.

nkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.

nkjv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.

nkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.

nkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"

nkjv@Jonah:4:5 @ So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

nkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.

nkjv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

nkjv@Jonah:4:9 @ Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death!"

nkjv@Jonah:4:10 @ But the LORD said, "You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night.

nkjv@Micah:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

nkjv@Micah:1:3 @ For behold, the LORD is coming out of His place; He will come down And tread on the high places of the earth.

nkjv@Micah:1:4 @ The mountains will melt under Him, And the valleys will split Like wax before the fire, Like waters poured down a steep place.

nkjv@Micah:1:9 @ For her wounds are incurable. For it has come to Judah; It has come to the gate of My people-- To Jerusalem.

nkjv@Micah:1:11 @ Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir; The inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out. Beth Ezel mourns; Its place to stand is taken away from you.

nkjv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good, But disaster came down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Micah:1:15 @ I will yet bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah; The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

nkjv@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.

nkjv@Micah:2:4 @ In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying: "We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; How He has removed it from me! To a turncoat He has divided our fields."'

nkjv@Micah:2:7 @ You who are named the house of Jacob: "Is the Spirit of the LORD restricted? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good To him who walks uprightly?

nkjv@Micah:2:13 @ The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head."

nkjv@Micah:3:3 @ Who also eat the flesh of My people, Flay their skin from them, Break their bones, And chop them in pieces Like meat for the pot, Like flesh in the caldron."

nkjv@Micah:3:4 @ Then they will cry to the LORD, But He will not hear them; He will even hide His face from them at that time, Because they have been evil in their deeds.

nkjv@Micah:3:7 @ So the seers shall be ashamed, And the diviners abashed; Indeed they shall all cover their lips; For there is no answer from God."

nkjv@Micah:3:11 @ Her heads judge for a bribe, Her priests teach for pay, And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the LORD, and say, "Is not the LORD among us? No harm can come upon us."

nkjv@Micah:3:12 @ Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, And the mountain of the temple Like the bare hills of the forest.

nkjv@Micah:4:1 @ Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.

nkjv@Micah:4:2 @ Many nations shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
